360 DigiTech Announces Pricing of Global Offering
Shanghai, China, November 23, 2022, 360 DigiTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: QFIN) (“360 DigiTech” or the “Company”), a Credit-Tech platform in China, today announced the pricing of its global offering (the “Global Offering”) of 5,540,000 Class A ordinary shares of the Company (the “Offer Shares”). The Global Offering comprises a Hong Kong public offering (the “Hong Kong Public Offering”) and an international offering (the “International Offering”).
The final offer price for both the International Offering and the Hong Kong Public Offering (the “Offer Price”) has been set as HK$50.03 per Offer Share. Based on the ratio of two Class A ordinary shares per Nasdaq-listed American depositary shares (the “ADSs”), the Offer Price translates to approximately US$12.75 per ADS based on an exchange rate of HK$7.8499 to US$1.00.
Subject to approval from The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Hong Kong Stock Exchange”), the Class A ordinary shares of the Company are expected to begin trading on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on Tuesday, November 29, 2022 under the stock code “3660.” The Global Offering is expected to close on the same day, subject to customary closing conditions.
In addition, the Company has granted an over-allotment option to the international underwriters, exercisable by the joint global coordinators (for themselves and on behalf of the international underwriters), from the date on which the Company’s Class A ordinary shares are listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange until December 23, 2022, being the 30th day after the last day for lodging applications under the Hong Kong Public Offering, to purchase up to an aggregate of 830,000 additional Class A ordinary shares of the Company at the Offer Price.
The gross proceeds to the Company from the Global Offering, before deducting underwriting fees and the offering expenses, are expected to be approximately HK$277.2 million (assuming that the over-allotment option is not exercised). The Company plans to use the net proceeds from the Global Offering for its research and development to enhance its technology and credit assessment capabilities, and develop more diversified technology solutions in response to the evolving needs of financial institutions and fine-tune its services and solutions; for further penetrating the Credit-Tech Industry and expanding user base; and for general corporate purposes and working capital needs.
