亿航或面临巨额赔偿？亿航前员工起诉老东家，美国法院判了！

据通航圈获悉，纳斯达克上市公司亿航智能（EHANG HOLDINGS LIMITED，以下简称“亿航”或“公司”）5月2日公布了一起美国法院的判决结果。一名亿航前员工起诉了亿航，作为原告以违约、虚假承诺和拖欠工资为由向被告提起诉讼。经美国法院 2022 年 4 月底开庭审理并在4月29日对原告、对亿航、亿航广州及胡华智先生作出了如下判决，貌似赔偿金额有点高。当然，亿航表示正在相关上诉工作进行评估。

EHang Holdings Limited (the “Company”) received a judgment from the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, San Jose Division (the “Court”) on April 29, 2022 (Beijing time). The judgment arose from a civil lawsuit filed by a former employee (the “Plaintiff”) of EHang, Inc., a U.S. subsidiary of the Company that has been dissolved, against the Company, Guangzhou EHang Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. (“EHang GZ”), a Chinese company whose financial statements are consolidated into those of the Company under U.S. GAAP pursuant to a series of contractual arrangements, and certain individual defendants, including Mr. Huazhi Hu, chairman and chief executive officer of the Company (collectively, the “Defendants”).

The Plaintiff brought claims against the Defendants for breach of contract, false promise and unpaid wages. The Plaintiff alleged that he was an employee of EHang GZ and was entitled to receive restricted share units from the Company. The Defendants vigorously denied all of the Plaintiff’s allegations. Following a trial by jury in April 2022, the Court entered judgment for the Plaintiff and against the Company, EHang GZ and Mr. Huazhi Hu as follows:

•Judgment is entered against the Company on claims for breach of contract, false promise and unpaid wages, and the Company is held jointly and severally liable for compensatory damages in the amount of US$3,500,000 and is liable for punitive damages in the amount of US$10,000,000;

•Judgment is entered against EHang GZ on claims for breach of contract, false promise and unpaid wages, and EHang GZ is held jointly and severally liable for compensatory damages in the amount of US$3,500,000; and

•Judgment is entered against Mr. Huazhi Hu on claims for false promise and unpaid wages, and Mr. Hu is held jointly and severally liable for compensatory damages in the amount of US$3,500,000 and is liable for punitive damages in the amount of US$5,000,000.

The Company, together with other Defendants, is assessing appellate options, including a potential appeal and motion to stay the judgment pending appeal before the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

There is no assurance that the Company will prevail on any appeal or that a judicial stay of the judgment will be granted.
