On June 30, 2021, DiDi issued an IPO in the United States, in which they sold approximately 316,800,000 ADRs at a price of $14.00 per ADR.
The Registration Statement emphasized that DiDi purportedly “follow[ed] strict procedures in collecting, transmitting, storing and using user data pursuant to [its] data security and privacy policies.” In fact, the Registration Statement claimed that DiDi “collect[s] personal information and other data from [its] users and use such data in the course of [its] operations only with their prior consent.”
The truth began to emerge on July 2, 2021 when the Cyberspace Administration of China (“CAC”) stated that it had launched an investigation into DiDi to protect national security and the public interest. Following this news, DiDi’s ADR price fell $0.87, or approximately 5.3%, to close at $15.53 per ADR on July 2, 2021.
On Sunday, July 4, 2021, DiDi reported that the CAC ordered smartphone app stores to stop offering the “DiDi Chuxing” app because it “collect[ed] personal information in violation of relevant PRC laws and regulations.” DiDi was ordered to make changes to comply with Chinese data protection rules to “ensure the safety of the personal information of users.”
On July 5, 2021, The Wall Street Journal reported that the CAC had asked DiDi as early as three months prior to the IPO to postpone the offering because of national security concerns and to “conduct a thorough self-examination of its network security.”
Following this news, DiDi’s share price fell $3.04 per ADR, or 19.6%, to close at $12.49 per ADR on July 6, 2021.
