Insights

Smart Share Global is being taken private, delisting its ADSs and ending SEC reporting.

The filing describes the completion of a merger in which Smart Share Global Limited became a wholly owned subsidiary of MidCo. Public shareholders’ ordinary shares and ADSs, other than excluded and dissenting shares, are cancelled for cash merger consideration set by the merger agreement.

The ADS program will terminate and ADSs will be removed from Nasdaq through a Form 25, followed by a Form 15 to suspend and then end SEC reporting duties. MidCo arranged a term loan facility of up to RMB1,575,000,000 to finance the transactions. After the merger, the reporting persons disclose beneficial ownership of 0 shares, indicating their public equity stake has been eliminated.

Term loan facility size RMB1,575,000,000 Facility Agreement dated April 28, 2026 to fund the transactions
Reporting persons’ beneficial ownership 0.00 shares Ordinary shares beneficially owned after the merger
Ownership percentage after merger 0.00% Percent of class represented by beneficial ownership for each reporting person
ADS cancellation fee US$5.00 per 100 ADSs Fee deducted from Per ADS Merger Consideration under the Deposit Agreement
Per Share Merger Consideration financial
"in exchange for the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement)"
Dissenting Shares regulatory
"holders of no more than 15% ... have validly served a notice of dissent ... Dissenting Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement)"
Dissenting shares are shares held by investors who formally oppose a proposed corporate action—such as a merger or takeover—and choose to demand a cash payment for the value of their stock instead of accepting the deal’s terms. This matters to investors because it can slow or complicate a transaction, trigger a legal process to set a fair price, and affect how much cash a company must pay out, which in turn influences the financial outcome for all shareholders.
Form 25 regulatory
"requested the Nasdaq to file an application on Form 25 with the SEC to remove the ADSs from listing"
A Form 25 is an official filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission used to remove a company's stock or other security from a national exchange list. Investors should care because delisting often means less visibility, lower trading volume and wider price swings—similar to a product moving from a major supermarket to a small local market, which can make buying, selling and valuing the security more difficult.
Form 15 regulatory
"intends to suspend its reporting obligations under the Act by filing a certification and notice on Form 15"
A Form 15 is a short filing a public company uses with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to stop or pause its routine public reporting requirements when it meets certain legal thresholds (such as a low number of public shareholders) or other qualifying conditions. Investors should care because filing one typically means less public financial information and lower trading liquidity—similar to a shop taking down its public notice board, making it harder to track performance and buy or sell shares.
term loan facility financial
"entered into a facility agreement ... providing for a term loan facility up to RMB1,575,000,000"
A term loan facility is a type of loan provided by a lender that is repaid over a set period of time, usually with fixed payments. It functions like a large, upfront loan that a borrower agrees to pay back gradually, often used to fund major investments or projects. For investors, understanding a company's use of such loans helps assess its financial stability and risk level.
