NIO Accused of Inflating Its IPO Price
According to the complaint, on September 12, 2018, NIO conducted its
IPO, offering 160 million American Depository Shares (“ADSs”) at $6.26
per share, for over $1 billion in total proceeds. According to the
Registration Statement, NIO intended to use 25% of the proceeds of the
IPO to develop a manufacturing facility and roll out its supply chain.
The intended effect would be a significant decrease in manufacturing
costs and less reliance on Chinese government-owned JAC Auto. The
Registration Statement also touted NIO’s mobile app, indicating “over
520,000 registered users as of August 28, 2018.” The complaint asserts
that these allegations were misleading. Specifically, on March 5, 2019,
NIO revealed it was no longer building its own manufacturing plant and
would continue to rely on JAC Auto, causing NIO’s ADSs to close down
over 30% over two trading days. Then, on April 2, 2019, NIO revealed it
only had “190,000 active users on peak days in 2018.” The stock steadily
declined following this announcement, and currently trades at just $2.76.
