Lander Holdings continue to hold 18.70% of Lander Sports shares and Gao Jingna, a shareholder of Lander Holdings retaining 6.16% of Lander Sports shares.
Lander Sports was previously controlled by Lander Holdings which is owned by Gao Jisheng and his daughter Gao Jingna who own 75% and 25% controlling shares respectively of Lander Holdings.
