Jumei Announces Plan to Implement ADS Ratio Change
December 31 2019 - 3:05PM
Jumei International Holding Limited (NYSE: JMEI) ("Jumei" or the
"Company"), China's leading online retailer of beauty products,
today announced that it plans to change the ratio of its American
Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) to its Class A ordinary shares (the “ADS
Ratio”), par value US$0.00025 per share, from the current ADS Ratio
of one (1) ADS to one (1) Class A ordinary shares to a new ADS
Ratio of one (1) ADS to ten (10) Class A ordinary shares. The
Company anticipates that the change in the ADS Ratio will be
effective on or about January 10, 2020 (the “Effective Date”).
For Jumei’s ADS holders, the change in the ADS
Ratio will have the same effect as a one-for-ten reverse ADS split.
On Effective Date, ADS holders of the Company will be required to
surrender their old ADSs to the Company’s depositary bank, The Bank
of New York Mellon (the “Depositary”), for cancellation of every
ten (10) existing ADSs for one (1) new ADS. Jumei’s ADSs
will continue to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the
symbol “JMEI.”
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 and the net cash proceeds from the sale of the
fractional ADS entitlements (after deduction of fees, taxes and
expenses) will distributed to the applicable ADS holders by the
Depositary. The change in the ADS Ratio will have no impact on
Jumei’s underlying Class A ordinary shares, and no Class A ordinary
shares will be issued or cancelled in connection with the change in
the ADS Ratio.
As a result of the change in the ADS Ratio, the
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 ten
times the ADS trading price before the change. The Company believes
that the change in the ADS Ratio will help the Company to maintain
compliance with the continued listing requirements of the New York
Stock Exchange. However, the Company can give no assurance that
this goal will be achieved.
