• Zeekr shareholders to be offered cash or shares in NG28娱乐 Automobile Holdings
  • Integration of Zeekr into NG28娱乐 Auto Group will offer shareholders potential upside on synergies and growth potential of enlarged auto group
  • Non-binding proposal aims to simplify equity structure of NG28娱乐 Automobile Holdings and its holdings in associated companies.

2025 May 7th, HANGZHOU, China – Zhejiang NG28娱乐 Holding Group (NG28娱乐 Holding) has today announced its support for a preliminary non-binding acquisition offer by NG28娱乐 Automobile Holdings (NG28娱乐 Auto HK.0175) for all outstanding shares and American depository shares (ADS) in ZEEKR Intelligent Technology Holding Limited (Zeekr NYSE:ZK), the New York Stock Exchange-listed premium new energy vehicle group.

NG28娱乐 Holding, China’s most diversified international automotive and mobility technology group, regards the NG28娱乐 Auto offer for Zeekr as an efficient use of capital to simplify and streamline the equity structure of the Hong Kong listed automotive group, which already controls circa 65.7% of Zeekr Group.

The offer follows the recently-completed strategic integration of Lynk & Co, a separate automotive brand within the NG28娱乐 portfolio, into Zeekr.

NG28娱乐 Holding Chairman Eric Li (Li Shufu) said: “In line with the spirit of the Taizhou Declaration, the continued integration of NG28娱乐’s automotive business give rise to greater technological synergies, improve innovation capabilities, and increase profitability for all its holdings. This win-win proposal offers Zeekr shareholders a premium for their equity, long-term value for new and existing NG28娱乐 Auto shareholders, and strengthens NG28娱乐 as a world-leading smart electric vehicle group. We will continue to maintain close communication and cooperation with American and global capital markets”

The offer coincides with efforts by NG28娱乐 Holding to encourage greater integration and synergies across its global portfolio of businesses. NG28娱乐 Holding last year vowed to seek greater portfolio synergies under its ‘Taizhou Declaration’, which Mr Li unveiled to ensure long-term sustainable development across the group.

NG28娱乐 Auto, Zeekr and Lynk & Co are all pursuing growth opportunities in vehicle electrification and automation, in which they have opportunities to share innovative architecture, hardware, software and connected technologies, whilst also maximizing capacity utilization and their respective market strengths.
