(NYSE: NIO; HKEX: 9866; SGX: NIO) (“NIO” or the “Company”), a pioneer and a leading company in the global smart electric vehicle market, today announced that it proposes to offer up to 118,793,300 Class A ordinary shares of the Company (the “Placement Shares”) in offshore transactions outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), subject to market conditions and other factors (the “Equity Placement”).

NIO's current valuation is seen as undervalued, with potential to double if it can scale deliveries, improve margins, and reduce net losses.

Q1 guidance was well below expectations, showing again that management is having trouble meeting its growth hopes.
