www.moomoo.comLeapmotor is controlled by its founders, Zhu Jiangming (Chairman and CEO) and Fu Liquan, who have maintained a significant ownership stake in the company despite external investments. Stellantis-backed Leapmotor deal in 2023–2024 made Stellantis the largest external shareholder, but the founders continue to hold a substantial portion and remain the company’s actual controllers. Recent filings and media reports show the founders increasing their stake multiple times since 2024, reinforcing their control over Leapmotor’s direction.[1][2][4]
Key points:
- External investor: Stellantis agreed to acquire about 20% of Leapmotor, becoming the largest external shareholder, while the founders kept a controlling position.[1]
- Founders’ stake: Zhu Jiangming and Fu Liquuan have been purchasing shares in Leapmotor, increasing their combined ownership toward the low-to-mid-20% range, indicating strong confidence and continued control.[2][4]
- Ongoing governance: Despite external investment, the founder group remains the effective controller, and governance remains heavily influenced by Zhu and Fu.[1]
