Q&K Announces ADS Ratio Change
February 28 2022 - 6:00AM
Q&K International Group Limited (NASDAQ: QK) (“Q&K” or the
“Company”), a leading technology-driven long-term apartment rental
platform in China, today announced that it will change the ratio of
the American depositary shares (“ADSs”) representing its Class A
ordinary shares from one (1) ADS representing thirty (30) Class A
ordinary share to one (1) ADS representing one hundred and fifty
(150) Class A ordinary shares.
For the ADS holders, the change in the ADS ratio
will have the same effect as a one-for-five reverse ADS split.
There will be no change to the Company’s Class A ordinary shares.
The effect of the ratio change on the ADS trading price on Nasdaq
is expected to take place at the open of trading on March 7, 2022
(U.S. Eastern Time). ADS holders of record on the effective date
will not be required to take any action in connection with the ADS
ratio change. The exchange of every five (5) then-held (old) ADSs
for one (1) new ADS will occur automatically with the then-held
ADSs being cancelled and new ADSs being issued by the depositary
bank, in each case as of the effective date for the ADS ratio
change. The ADSs will continue to be traded on Nasdaq under the
symbol “QK.”
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) will be distributed to the applicable ADS holders by the
depositary bank.
As a result of the change in the ADS ratio, the
ADS price is expected to increase proportionally, although the
Company can give no assurance that the ADS price after the change
in the ADS ratio will be equal to or greater than five times the
ADS price before the change.
