Davis Polk, STB on Zeekr's $441 million NYSE listing
Davis Polk & Wardwell, King & Wood Mallesons and Han Kun Law Offices have served as Zeekr’s legal counsel on its $441 million initial public offering on the NYSE, with Simpson Thacher & Bartlett and Fangda Partners advising the sponsors. This marks the largest U.S. IPO of a Chinese concept stock in the past three years.
Zeekr, which is the premium brand of Chinese automaker Geely, was founded in 2021 and the brand includes several models. According to a report by industry consultant Frost & Sullivan, Zeekr has become one of the fastest-growing brands in China's high-end electric vehicle market in terms of deliveries. The listing took place just three years after the brand's launch, setting a record for the fastest IPO completion by a Chinese new energy vehicle company.
The Davis Polk team was led by global partners Li He, Ran Li, and James C. Lin. Global partner Jason Xu and others provided expertise on Hong Kong listing rules.
The KWM team was led by partners Gong Mulong, Pan Yujia, Wang Jianxue, Feng Xia, Chen Junyu, and Hu Jing; Hong Kong partner Wong Man provided legal services for Zeekr's private equity financing; core team partners Peng Jin, Ma Tianning, and Meng Zi offered professional guidance, and partner Wu Han provided expert support on data compliance.
The STB team saw the leadership of partners Yi Gao and Christopher Wong.
And the Fangda team was led by partners Jeffrey Ding, Wang Mengjie, Brian Liu, and Wei Jianbo.
