Material Changes
On October 10, 2025, the Board approved the issuance of 2,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares to Founder and CEO Mr. Terence Zou. This issuance recognizes his contribution to the recent US$1.6 million fundraising. Additionally, the Board authorized a potential issuance of up to 30,000,000 additional Class B shares contingent on specific performance milestones.
Guidance, Outlook, and Contingencies
Management has outlined a clear roadmap for Ryde 2.0, with equity incentives tied to the following milestones:
- Fundraising Milestone: Issuance of 28,000,000 Class B shares is contingent upon completing a US$40 million fundraising by June 30, 2026.
- Revenue Growth Milestone: Issuance of 2,000,000 Class B shares is contingent upon revenue growth in the first half of 2025 exceeding 20% compared to the same period in 2024.
Risks and Unusual Items: The issuance of Class B shares significantly concentrates voting power. If all performance milestones are met, Mr. Zou's voting power could increase to approximately 84.4% of the aggregate voting power. The Class B shares are not listed on the NYSE American market.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the actual revenue growth for the first half of 2025 to determine if the 20% threshold for the 2,000,000 share issuance is met.
- Monitor progress on the planned US$40 million fundraising to be completed by June 30, 2026.
- Review the dilution impact on Class A shareholders if the full 30,000,000 contingent shares are issued.
- Confirm the status of the "Ryde 2.0" strategic partnerships and EV fleet leasing operations mentioned as growth drivers.
