DUO FangDD Network Group Ltd

As previously announced on June 3, 2024, the Company intends to terminate the Company’s existing American depositary receipts (the “ADR”) facility on or about September 4, 2024, and list its Class A ordinary shares for trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) in substitution for the American depositary shares (the “ADS”) (the “Substitution Listing”). The Company expects that, upon the effectiveness of the Substitution Listing, its ADSs will cease to be listed on Nasdaq while the Class A ordinary shares represented by the ADSs will trade on Nasdaq under the symbol of “DUO.” The Company has appointed VStock Transfer, LLC as its United States transfer agent (the “U.S. Transfer Agent”) for the Substitution Listing.

To facilitate the Substitution Listing, the Depositary will call for the surrender of all ADSs to be exchanged into the Company’s Class A ordinary shares on a mandatory basis (the “Mandatory Exchange”) on or after September 4, 2024 (the actual date of the Mandatory Exchange, the “Exchange Date”). For ADSs held by participants of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), the Depositary will instruct the U.S. Transfer Agent to register a transfer of the number of deposited shares represented by those ADSs to DTC for allocation by DTC to the participant accounts entitled to them; and for uncertificated ADSs held by owners other than DTC, the Depositary will instruct the U.S. Transfer Agent to register transfers of the number of deposited shares represented by uncertificated ADSs in the names of the respective owners.

ADS holders do not need to take any action, and the Depositary will not charge ADS holders any fees in connection with the Mandatory Exchange. The Depositary has issued a notice to supersede its prior notice issued to ADS holders on June 4, 2024 regarding the ADS termination, and to inform ADS holders of the Mandatory Exchange. A copy of this notice is attached to this press release as Exhibit A.

There remains uncertainty regarding whether and when the Company will be able to obtain clearance from Nasdaq to effectuate the Mandatory Exchange and the Substitution Listing. Prior to the Exchange Date, Nasdaq may suspend the trading of the Company’s ADSs until such time as the Mandatory Exchange and the Substitution Listing shall have taken effect or as otherwise determined by Nasdaq.

In connection with the Substitution Listing, the Company plans to effect, on or about August 12, 2024 (Eastern Time), a share consolidation to consolidate each 5,625 ordinary shares of a par value US$0.0000001 per share of the Company into one ordinary share of a par value US$0.0005625 per share (the “Share Consolidation”), followed by a share capital increase and the adoption of the sixth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company as set out in the Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting dated June 3, 2024. The Share Consolidation and related matters were previously approved by the Company’s shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting held on July 11, 2024. For detailed information about the Share Consolidation, please see the Company’s current report on Form 6-K furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 11, 2024.

The Share Consolidation will change the ratio of the ADSs to the Company’s Class A ordinary shares from (i) one (1) ADS representing five thousand six hundred and twenty-five (5,625) Class A ordinary shares of a par value US$0.0000001 per share to (ii) one (1) ADS representing one (1) Class A ordinary share of a par value US$0.0005625 per share. ADS holders do not need to take any action in connection with the ADS ratio change.
