Huize Holding Limited Announces Plan to Implement ADS Ratio Change
November 19 2024 - 4:00PM
Huize Holding Limited, (“Huize”, the “Company” or “we”) (NASDAQ:
HUIZ), a leading insurance technology platform connecting
consumers, insurance carriers and distribution partners digitally
through data-driven and AI-powered solutions in Asia, today
announced that it will change the ratio of its American depositary
shares (“ADSs”) to its Class A ordinary shares (the “ADS Ratio”)
from the current ratio of one (1) ADS to twenty (20) Class A
ordinary shares to a new ratio of one (1) ADS to one hundred (100)
Class A ordinary shares.
For the Company’s ADS holders, the change in the
ADS Ratio will have the same effect as a one-for-five reverse ADS
split. A post-effective amendment to the ADS Registration Statement
on Form F-6 will be filed with the SEC to reflect the change in the
ADS Ratio. The Company anticipates that the change in the ADS Ratio
will be effective on or about December, 9, 2024 (U.S.
Eastern Time), subject to the effectiveness of the post-effective
amendment to the ADS Registration Statement on Form F-6 on or
before that date.
Each ADS holder of record at the close of business
on the date when the change in ADS Ratio is effective will be
required to surrender and exchange every five (5) existing ADSs
then held for one (1) new ADS. ADS holders in The Depository Trust
Company and in the Direct Registration System will have their ADSs
automatically exchanged and need not take any action. Citibank
N.A., as the depositary bank for the Company’s ADS program, will
arrange for the exchange of the current ADSs for the new ones. The
Company’s ADSs will continue to be traded on the Nasdaq Global
Market under the ticker symbol “HUIZ.”
No fractional new ADSs will be issued in connection
with the change in the ADS Ratio. Instead, fractional entitlements
to new ADSs will be aggregated and sold by the depositary bank and
the net cash proceeds from the sale of the fractional ADS
entitlements (after deduction of fees, taxes and expenses, where
applicable) will be distributed to the applicable ADS holders by
the depositary bank. The change in the ADS Ratio will have no
impact on the Company’s underlying Class A ordinary shares, and no
Class A ordinary shares will be issued or cancelled in connection
with the change in the ADS Ratio.
