TuanChe Announces Plan to Implement ADS Ratio Change
BEIJING, Jan. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — TuanChe Limited ("TuanChe" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: TC), a leading integrated automotive marketplace in China, today announced that it plans to change the ratio of its American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") to Class A ordinary shares (the "ADS Ratio") from the current ADS Ratio of one (1) ADS to sixteen (16) Class A ordinary shares to a new ADS Ratio of one (1) ADS to two hundred and forty (240) Class A ordinary shares. The Company anticipates that the change in the ADS ratio will be effective on or about January 26, 2024 (U.S. Eastern Time). TuanChe's ADSs will continue to be traded on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange under the symbol "TC."
For TuanChe's ADS holders, the change in the ADS Ratio will have the same effect as a one-for-fifteen reverse ADS split. 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 15 existing ADSs then held for one (1) new ADS. The Bank of New York Mellon, as the depositary bank for TuanChe's ADS program, will arrange for the exchange of the current ADSs for the new ones.
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. The change in the ADS Ratio will have no impact on TuanChe's underlying Class A ordinary shares, and no Class A ordinary shares will be issued or canceled in connection with the change in the ADS Ratio.
As a result of the change in the ADS Ratio, TuanChe's ADS trading price is expected to increase proportionally, although the Company can give no assurance that the ADS trading price after the change in the ADS Ratio will be equal to or greater than 15 times the ADS trading price before the change.
