Note – Correction of Shareholdings and Valuation

At first release of Didi Chuxing IPO on Caproasia.com, we have mistakenly used data of voting power, instead of equity ownership, in calculating the share value of Will Cheng Wei, Jean Liu Qing, that had increased the value of their shares.  We were notified of the error and have amended the hypothetical share value of Will Cheng Wei and Jean Liu Qing.  Dependant on the terms of the IPO, Will Cheng Wei and Jean Liu Qing shareholding / equity ownership may also change. Below is the correct equity ownership interests of Will Cheng Wei and Jean Liu Qing.  

We apologise for producing the shareholding in error and for affected parties or investors in using this information.  We also thank our readers and the party who contacted us for notifying us on the error. 

Voting Power

  • Will Cheng Wei – 15.4%
  • Jean Liu Qing – 6.7%
  • Stephen Zhu Jingshi -2.3%

Equity Ownership

  • Will Cheng Wei – 7%
  • Jean Liu Qing – 1.7%

The around $100 billion valuation of Didi Chuxing is hypothetical and final IPO terms will be dependant on the IPO methodology, investment terms and structure, market conditions, and not withstanding further share-dilution possibilities for the share value of Will Cheng Wei and Jean Liu Qing.  The hypothetical $100 billion valuation was derived from a range of $80 billion to $110 billion, based on available analysts reports, previous private market valuation, industry player (Uber), positive sentiments in investing in China and in the largest technology companies.
