　　Citic Pacific, as it was then called, warned in October 2008 of big losses from betting that the USdollar would weaken against its Australian counterpart – which would have raised the costs ofits Sino Iron development in the Pilbara region.

　　当时名为中信泰富(Citic Pacific)的该公司在2008年10月警告称，其对美元相对于澳元将走低的押注产生了巨额亏损，这将提高其在澳洲皮尔巴拉地区Sino Iron铁矿开发项目的成本。

　　The losses came to $2bn. While the profits warning showed that the company became aware ofthe issue on September 7 2008, the SFC contends that Citic misled investors by issuing anunconnected circular on September 12 that said directors were not aware of any materialadverse change in the company’s financial position.

　　这些亏损达到20亿美元。尽管利润预警显示，该公司在2008年9月7日就意识到这个问题，但证监会提出，中信在2008年9月12日曾发布一份通函，称就董事们所知，其财务状况没有出现任何重大不利变动，从而给投资者造成误导。

　　The regulator said yesterday that it was seeking compensation in court from five formerdirectors as well as sanctions from Hong Kong’s market misconduct tribunal.

　　该监管机构昨日表示，正请求法庭向五名前董事发出赔偿令，并请求香港的市场失当行为审裁处给予五人制裁。

　　About 4,500 investors spent a combined $245m buying Citic shares between the Septembercircular and the October profit warning, the regulator said. Citic Pacific shares halved the dayafter the warning.

　　该监管机构表示，在9月的通函和10月的利润预警之间，大约4500名投资者总共支出2.45亿美元购买中信股票。中信泰富股价在10月利润预警的次日被腰斩。

　　The executives are Mr Yung, Citic Pacific’s chairman at the time of the currency bet; Henry Fan,its former managing director; former deputy managing directors Leslie Chang Li-hsien andPeter Lee; and former executive director Chau Chi-yin.

　　五名高管是：外汇合约签订时的中信泰富主席荣智健;前董事总经理范鸿龄(Henry Fan);前副董事总经理张立宪(Leslie Chang Li-hsien)和李松兴(Peter Lee);以及前执行董事周志贤(Chau Chi-yin)。

　　Mr Yung and Mr Fan resigned in April 2009 after the Hong Kong police’s commercial crimebureau raided the company’s headquarters.

　　荣智健和范鸿龄在2009年4月辞职，此前香港警务处商业罪案调查科突击搜查了公司总部。

　　The SFC’s case has been launched just before Hong Kong’s six-year statute of limitationswould have expired.

　　香港证监会在这个城市为时六年的诉讼时效即将到期之际提起了此案。
