CEO Controls 90.71% of Voting Power
Ruilin Xu, CEO and Chairman, holds 154,873 Class B shares directly and 6,060 Class B shares plus 768 Class A shares through Xu Ruilin Capital, giving him 90.71% of total voting power as of October 8, 2026.
-
Dual-Class Structure Concentrates Control
Each Class B share carries 200 votes and converts to 200 Class A shares at the holder's option, while each Class A share has one vote. This structure gives Xu near-total control despite holding a minority of economic shares.
-
Four Share Issuances to CEO Disclosed
Xu received 1,519 Class B shares (post-1:25 reverse split) on June 17, 2025, 51,282 on November 27, 2025, 81,081 on May 8, 2026, and 20,991 on July 27, 2026, all under his August 2022 employment agreement.
-
Ongoing Dilution for Public Shareholders
The repeated Class B share grants to Xu under his employment agreement dilute economic ownership of public shareholders while further entrenching his voting control.
Analysis · DPU · Trade & Services
This Schedule 13D marks the first disclosure that CEO and Chairman Ruilin Xu controls 90.71% of Nexpu's total voting power, achieved through a dual-class structure in which Class B shares carry 200 votes each. The filing also reveals four separate Class B share issuances to Xu under his employment agreement between June 2025 and July 2026. With this level of insider control, public shareholders effectively have no say in corporate governance, and the ongoing share grants to the CEO represent continued dilution of economic ownership even as voting power remains concentrated.
