FAQ

What did PDD (PDD) executive Liu Jun report in this Form 3?

Liu Jun, VP of Finance at PDD Holdings, reported his existing holdings of stock options over the company’s ADSs. These options are compensation awards and show his potential future equity exposure rather than any recent share purchases or sales.

What are the key terms of Liu Jun’s PDD stock options?

The options each give the right to receive one PDD ADS at an exercise price of US$0.026 per ADS. Several grants have different vesting schedules and expiration dates, with some already exercisable and others vesting in stages between 2026 and 2031.

How do PDD ADSs relate to Class A ordinary shares?

Each PDD American Depositary Share (ADS) represents four Class A ordinary shares. Liu Jun’s options settle in ADSs, so exercising one option delivers one ADS, indirectly corresponding to four underlying Class A ordinary shares of PDD Holdings Inc.

When will Liu Jun’s PDD options vest and expire?

Some options are already exercisable as of the filing date, with expirations between 2038 and 2041. Other grants vest in tranches from 2026 through 2031 and carry later expiration dates, including March 31, 2042 and April 30, 2044, if not exercised earlier.

Does this PDD Form 3 show Liu Jun buying or selling shares?

No, the Form 3 lists Liu Jun’s existing stock option holdings rather than new open‑market trades. The transactions are coded as holdings, with no buy or sell entries, reflecting previously granted compensation awards rather than recent purchases or disposals.
