Insights

ZEEKR’s merger has closed, taking the company private under Geely.

The amendment shows that the merger between ZEEKR and a Geely Auto subsidiary has closed, with all ordinary shares and ADSs cancelled in exchange for cash or Geely Auto shares. The consideration is stated as US$2.687 per ordinary share and US$26.87 per ADS, or fixed Geely Auto share amounts, and total consideration is valued at approximately $2,398 million.

After the merger, ZEEKR became a privately held, indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Geely Auto, and only one ordinary share of the surviving company is outstanding, held by Luckview Group Limited and deemed beneficially owned by Shufu Li. The amendment clarifies that, apart from this surviving share, the reporting persons no longer beneficially own ZEEKR ordinary shares for Exchange Act purposes.

The document also indicates that the ADSs will be removed from the New York Stock Exchange via a Form 25 filing and that ZEEKR intends to file Form 15 to suspend and later terminate its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. Subsequent company filings referenced here may provide additional detail on Geely Auto’s funding mix and post-merger structure.
