According to the Execution Judgment, the Court terminated the compulsory execution of repayment of the Refundable Ernest Money from Yang Shunhong and the Court concluded that Yang Shunhong owns no executable assets after he pledged his shares of the Target Company to First China Securities Consultancy (Shenzhen) Co.
