An investor in Luckin Coffee has urged shareholders and convertible bondholders of the disgraced Chinese coffee chain’s board of directors to oppose a plan to give Centurium Capital control of the company, according to a letter seen by Bloomberg News.
The letter signed by GS Wealth LP director Wu Naijia expressed concerns over a shareholder rights plan adopted by Luckin, which would make it easier for Centurium to take a controlling stake in the company with close to 60% of the voting power.
