DiDi Chuxing

On 2nd Dec 2021, Didi announced that it would look to delist its ADRs from NYSE and it would seek a listing on HKSE. The stock was listed on NYSE on 30th Jun 2021, when it raised US$4.4bn at a valuation of US$67.5bn.

However, since listing the stock has been at the center of a regulatory crackdown. Apart from the delisting and relisting flows, it now also has US$20bn+ of stock coming up for lock-up expiry.

We have covered various aspects of the deal and regulatory developments in our earlier notes.
