FangDD Announces Further Updates on Its Substitution Listing Plan
04 September 2024 - 2:30PM
Fangdd Network Group Ltd. (Nasdaq: DUO) (“FangDD” or the “Company”)
today announced further updates on its substitution listing plan.
As previously announced on June 3 and July 31,
2024, the Company intends to terminate its existing American
depositary receipts facility and list its Class A ordinary shares
for trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) in
substitution for the American depositary shares (the “ADSs”) (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 Bank
of New York Mellon (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”). 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.
The Company anticipates that the Mandatory
Exchange will not take effect on September 4, 2024, as initially
scheduled. The Company is actively working with DTC, Nasdaq and
other related parties to finalize the Mandatory Exchange and will
announce the effective date as soon as it becomes available. 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 will issue a notice regarding the
Mandatory Exchange to supersede its prior notice issued to ADS
holders on July 30, 2024.
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.
