GDS Holdings Ltd SEC Filings

GDS Holdings Ltd director Kathy Hua Chen reported equity compensation and derivative position changes. On 2026-07-15, she received 740 American Depositary Shares (ADS) at $0.00 per share upon settlement of fully vested RSU awards, bringing her direct holdings to 50,740 ADS. Each ADS represents eight Class A ordinary shares. Separately, short share option positions obligating the sale of ADS with exercise prices of $47.00 and $50.00 referencing 20,000 ADS each expired on 2026-06-18. She continues to hold share options (obligation to sell) referencing 10,000 ADS at an exercise price of $60.00, expiring on 2026-09-18, which can be exercised early or closed by buying back the options.

GDS Holdings Ltd director David Zhang has filed an initial insider ownership report on Form 3. This filing establishes his status as a director and provides a baseline disclosure of his position with the company. The report does not list any insider share purchases, sales, or derivative holdings.

GDS Holdings Limited filed a Form 6-K noting that it held its 2026 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on June 25, 2026, where all resolutions submitted were approved. The meeting included the election and re-election of directors, confirming the company’s proposed board slate.

After 12 years of service, Mr. Satoshi Okada stepped down as a director upon completion of his term and was succeeded the same day by Mr. David Zhang. Separately, as earlier announced, Mr. Lim Ah Doo resigned in May as an independent director and Chairman of the Audit Committee and was succeeded by Ms. Hua (Kathy) Chen, who was re-elected at the 2026 AGM. The company reiterates its position as a leading developer and operator of high-performance, carrier- and cloud-neutral data centers in China, serving large cloud, internet, financial, telecom and enterprise customers.

GDS Holdings Ltd executive Qian Yixin reported an open-market sale of 10,000 American Depositary Shares (ADS). The sale took place at an average price of $35.2521 per ADS. Following this transaction, Qian directly holds 66,865 ADS.

Each ADS represents eight Class A ordinary shares, so the filing reflects trading in a depositary instrument linked to the company’s ordinary equity.

GDS Holdings Limited submitted a Rule 144 notice for the proposed sale of 10,000 ordinary shares represented by ADS on 06/10/2026. The shares were acquired on 05/01/2025 under the GDS Incentive Plan. The filing lists an aggregate amount of $361,100.00 and indicates a same day sale on NASDAQ.

GDS Holdings Ltd director Ye Judy Qing reported an open-market sale of 37,394 American Depositary Shares (ADSs) of GDS. The transaction occurred on June 2, 2026 at an average price of $36.2118 per ADS. After this sale, the filing shows zero ADSs held directly. A footnote states that each ADS represents eight Class A ordinary shares, so the transaction reduced her direct economic exposure to the company’s equity represented by these ADSs to none.

GDS Holdings Limited has called its 2026 annual general meeting for June 25, 2026 in Shanghai. Shareholders of ordinary shares and Series A and B convertible preferred shares of record on June 4, 2026 can vote directly, while ADS holders must instruct JPMorgan as depositary.

Key agenda items include electing or re-electing three Class I directors, extending the effectiveness of the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan by three years to August 25, 2029, and confirming KPMG Huazhen LLP as independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. Shareholders are also being asked to authorize the board, for 12 months from the meeting date, to allot or issue ordinary shares or other equity or equity‑linked securities up to 30% of the company’s issued share capital, excluding shares issued on option or warrant exercises or on certain bond conversions by Ping An Insurance and STT. A final proposal would authorize directors and officers to take actions needed to implement the approved resolutions.

GDS Holdings Limited reported a Form 144 notice to sell 37,394 ordinary shares represented by ADS, with a filing date of 06/02/2026. The shares were acquired on 08/16/2023 under the company's incentive plan and the filing indicates a same day sale disposition. The filing lists $1,327,860.94 alongside the share count.

GDS Holdings Ltd director Chen Kathy Hua has filed an initial Form 3 reporting her ownership in the company’s American Depositary Shares (ADS). She holds 50,000 ADS directly. Each ADS represents eight Class A ordinary shares, so this position reflects a sizable underlying equity stake.

In addition to the common equity, she reports three outstanding share option positions described as obligations to sell ADS. These options cover 10,000 ADS at an exercise price of $60.00 per ADS expiring on September 18, 2026, 20,000 ADS at $50.00 per ADS expiring on June 18, 2026, and 20,000 ADS at $47.00 per ADS also expiring on June 18, 2026. The footnotes state these options can be exercised early if the ADS price is above the exercise price, or closed if she chooses to buy back the share options.
