Didi Chuxing, the Chinese Uber-like ride-hailing champion and once considered the world’s most successful start-up, said Friday that it would begin delisting its New York-traded shares and prepare for a public offering in Hong Kong.
作为中国类似优步的行业领先网约车服务商,滴滴出行曾被视为世界上最成功的初创企业,该公司于周五表示,开始启动从纽交所的退市工作,并准备在香港上市。
The move is sure to reverberate outside China, particularly in Washington and on Wall Street. Just in June, Didi sold shares to global investors in an initial public offering in New York that valued the company at $69 billion. The abrupt turn after just six months is likely to anger investors, who bid up the price of the company this summer when it listed.
此举肯定会在中国以外的地方引起反响,尤其是在华盛顿和华尔街。就在今年6月,滴滴在纽约的首次公开募股中向全球投资者出售股票,当时估值为690亿美元。仅仅时隔六个月后,滴滴的突然转变可能会激怒投资者,今年夏天该公司上市时,投资者曾竞相抬高价格。
In a statement in China, Didi said its board had authorized beginning the process of delisting from the New York Stock Exchange. The securities that trade in the United States will be “convertible into freely tradable shares” of the company on another stock exchange, it said.
滴滴在中国发表的一份声明中表示,董事会已授权开始从纽约证券交易所退市。该公司表示,在美国交易的证券将转换为该公司在另一家证券交易所“可自由交易的股票”。
“The company will organize a shareholders’ meeting to vote on the above matter at an appropriate time in the future, following necessary procedures,” Didi said.
“公司将在未来适当的时候,按照必要的程序组织召开股东大会,对上述事项进行表决,”滴滴表示。
