at noon on september 7, wahaha’s official weibo account released a statement in response to reports such as “requiring employees to re-sign their labor contracts.”

previously, some media reported that because wahaha group recently required employees to re-sign labor contracts and buy back employee stock ownership shares at a lower price, the rights and interests of wahaha group employees were damaged, and they had to spontaneously set up a rights protection association and take legal action to protect their rights. at present, they have formally filed a lawsuit. the report mentioned that some wahaha employees were required to change their labor contracts to hongsheng beverage group. at the same time, hangzhou xiaoshan shunfa food packaging co., ltd. (one of the important investment entities of wahaha group, the labor union was once one of the important shareholders of xiaoshan shunfa) recently changed its equity, which further affected the personal investment returns of wahaha group employees.

in response, wahaha said in a statement that the above reports were seriously inaccurate and had caused great damage to the reputation of the hangzhou wahaha group co., ltd. trade union federation committee (hereinafter referred to as the "trade union").

wahaha said that the union had never heard of any information about the "wahaha rights protection committee" and that it had not received any information about any lawsuit filed by the so-called "wahaha rights protection committee."

according to the trade union, the internal share repurchase of the employee shareholding association of hangzhou wahaha group co., ltd. was approved by the unanimous resolution of the member representative conference. the relevant agreement was voluntarily signed by the members of the shareholding association and is legal and valid. there is no situation that harms the members of the shareholding association.

regarding the equity transfer of xiaoshan shunfa, the trade union learned that it was a normal shareholder change of xiaoshan shunfa, and the equity transfer was legal and valid, in compliance with relevant laws and regulations, and was reviewed and confirmed by the industrial and commercial authorities. there was no special reason speculated by the outside world. wahaha said that the management and work order of the trade union are currently normal.

tianyancha app shows that the current legal representative of xiaoshan shunfa is zong fuli, who holds 100% of the shares. industrial and commercial change records show that in august this year, the grassroots trade union joint committee of hangzhou wahaha group co., ltd. withdrew from xiaoshan shunfa company, and the previous shareholding ratio was not disclosed.

according to jiemian news, an old employee who left wahaha many years ago said that he held a certain amount of shares while he was employed, and the annual dividend amount was approximately 0.6 yuan per share after tax. however, when he left the company, he signed an equity recovery agreement with wahaha and was unable to comment on the recent wahaha transfer controversy.

another currently employed front-line employee said that he had no equity and as a grassroots staff member had not paid attention to "changes among management." zong fuli's management style is a typical corporate style, which pays more attention to data and motivates grassroots staff through strict systems. since the beginning of this year, the income of wahaha's front-line employees has generally increased.

it is worth noting that according to tianyancha, hangzhou wahaha group co., ltd. recently underwent industrial and commercial changes. zong fuli replaced the deceased zong qinghou and became the legal representative, chairman and general manager of wahaha.

before zong fuli took over, tianyancha showed that hangzhou shangcheng district cultural, commercial and tourism investment holding group co., ltd. held 46% of wahaha group's shares and was the largest shareholder of wahaha group. behind it was the hangzhou shangcheng district state-owned assets supervision and administration commission. zong qinghou held 29.4% of the shares, and the remaining 24.6% of the shares were held by the wahaha employee shareholding platform.
