DiDi Shareholders Back Relisting on Hong Kong Stock Exchange

BOSTON, Oct. 26, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- DiDi Global Inc., the Chinese ride-hailing giant, has seen overwhelming support from its shareholders for a relisting on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, according to a survey conducted by Heng Ren Partners LLC. The survey, which was carried out from October 16 to 21, 2026, found that at least 99.3% of the 147 respondents supported the move, underscoring the urgency and importance of the company's strategic direction.

DiDi's shares have been trading over-the-counter (OTC) in the United States since the company was delisted from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in June 2022. The delisting has significantly impacted the company's share price, with its shares trading at close to $3.00, down 79% from the 2021 initial public offering (IPO) price of $14.00. Additionally, the company's share price has declined by approximately 52% in the past year, highlighting the challenges faced by the firm in the current market environment.

The survey, which aimed to gauge shareholder sentiment on various issues, revealed a clear desire for DiDi to improve its communication and engagement with investors. Specifically, 144 respondents (99.3%) called for a relisting on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, 147 respondents (100%) wanted DiDi to hold a shareholders' meeting to discuss the relisting plan, 145 respondents (100%) demanded transparency by disclosing the company's plan for relisting, 146 respondents (99.3%) sought to open quarterly earnings calls to all shareholders, and 146 respondents (99.3%) wanted an independent director to be elected by shareholders.

Heng Ren Partners LLC, an active asset manager, has been actively campaigning for DiDi's relisting in Hong Kong. The firm believes that a relisting in Hong Kong would provide a more favorable trading environment and better access to institutional investors, thereby boosting shareholder value.

Heng Ren Partners has also reached out to DiDi's largest shareholders, including SoftBank Group Corp. (TSE: 9984), which owns approximately 21.5% of DiDi's shares, Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: UBER), a 12.8% shareholder, and Tencent Holdings Ltd. (HKEx: 0700), a 7.1% shareholder of DiDi, urging them to support the relisting in Hong Kong. The firm's campaign aims to bring DiDi's shares back to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, where they can benefit from better liquidity and visibility.

The survey results reflect a strong desire among DiDi's shareholders for improved corporate governance and enhanced communication. With a clear mandate from its investors, DiDi's board and management now face the challenge of implementing the necessary changes to meet the shareholders' expectations. The company's ability to address these issues could significantly impact its future prospects and the value of its shares.
