Zeekr Group sets final merger election deadlines for ADS and ordinary shareholders

Zeekr confirms final merger election deadlines: Dec 3, 2025 for ADS holders and Dec 5 for ordinary shares. Elections default to cash; check broker cutoffs.

Zeekr Group has confirmed the final window for security holders to choose their preferred form of consideration ahead of the planned merger. Holders of ordinary shares have until December 5, 2025, while American Depositary Share (ADS) holders face an earlier cutoff on December 3. Each ADS represents ten ordinary shares.

The company notes that investors who do not submit a valid election in time will be assigned cash consideration as set out in the transaction terms. For ADS holders whose securities sit with banks or brokers, practical deadlines may arrive even sooner, so it is important to follow intermediaries’ instructions closely. In real terms, the runway can be shorter than it looks, and hesitation risks forfeiting the ability to choose.

The deal envisions combining Zeekr, Geely Automobile Holdings, and Keystone Mergersub under a merger agreement. Closing is targeted for late December 2025, subject to satisfaction of the required conditions. Zeekr indicates it is prepared to complete the process on schedule and continues to work with all parties. The cadence of these milestones suggests an intent to wrap the year with a clean finish, with the default-to-cash framework offering a straightforward outcome for anyone who misses the window.
