目前，ST萃华已因涉嫌信息披露违法违规被中国证监会立案调查。若后续查实存在重大违法情形，公 司可能面临进一步监管措施。同时，两大股东强制平仓尚未完成，后续或继续被动减持，这不仅将削弱 市场信心，也可能引发控制权稳定性风险。 面对严峻形势，ST萃华亟需采取有效措施化解危机。首先，公司应积极与金融机构及债权人协商，妥 善解决2.54亿元债务逾期问题，尽快解除账户冻结以恢复正常经营。其次，需全力配合证监会调查，如 实披露信息，消除信息披露违规带来的不确定性。此外，公司应聚焦主业，审慎评估锂盐业务扩张节 奏，避免跨界并购带来的商誉减值风险进一步侵蚀利润。 ST萃华目前多重风险交织：股东被强平、账户被冻结、债务逾期、被监管立案等。公司能否走出流动 性困境、重建市场信任，还有待后续债务重组进展及监管调查结果的进一步检验。投资者应密切关注公 司账户解冻及债务协商进展，审慎评估投资风险。 来源：每日经济新闻 2月24日，ST萃华（维权）（SZ002731，股价9.28元，市值23.77亿元）公告称，持股5%以上股东深圳 翠艺及其一致行动人郭英杰、股东龙凤相继因强制平仓被动减持股份，合计减持超145万股。这一事件 将这家"关东 ...
