Geely announced that she signed an agreement on a merger with its premium “daughter” – Zeekr. Geely Automobile will acquire all the remaining Zeekr shares (about 40 percent) for the IV quarter of this year, after which the brand will be excluded from the listing of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The merger with Geely is expected to increase the efficiency of Zeekr and will allow it to focus on development without worrying about investors.
ZEEKR shareholders will offer two options to choose from. They will be able to get money for shares, about $ 2.7 apiece, or replace it with Geely Auto shares. At the same time, 1,23 Geely shares will be given for one security of Zeekr.
The total cost of Zeekr at the time of the transaction is about 6.8 billion dollars. As a result, the share of Geely will increase from the current 62.8 percent to 100.
