Geely to take EV unit Zeekr private a year after New York float

Chinese auto group blames ‘increasingly complex economic environment’, as it faces rising competition in home market

Geely is planning to take its electric vehicle unit Zeekr private, only a year after its New York listing as the Chinese auto conglomerate blamed pressures from an “increasingly complex economic environment”.

The delisting comes as the group closes out a decades-long expansion period and focuses on internal consolidation of its brands amid rising competition in its home market. 

Geely Auto, a Hong Kong-listed unit of privately held Geely Holding, plans to acquire all issued shares of Zeekr at $25.66 a share, 14 per cent higher than the stock’s closing price on Tuesday, the company said in an exchange filing on Tuesday. The bid will value Zeekr at about $6.4bn. The company’s shares opened 10 per cent higher on Wednesday in New York.
