DiDi is a Chinese ride-hailing and mobility services company founded in 2012 that operates as the dominant transportation platform in China, offering services including ride-sharing, taxi-hailing, bike-sharing, and delivery options. The company went public on the New York Stock Exchange in June 2021, raising $4.4 billion in what was one of the largest IPOs by a Chinese technology company at that time.
The case relates to allegations of defrauding investors in connection with DiDi’s June 2021 initial public offering. The plaintiffs claim that DiDi concealed material information about a Chinese government cybersecurity review and failed to disclose that the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) had suggested the company delay its IPO due to concerns about illegal data collection and privacy violations. Shortly after the IPO raised $4.4 billion, the CAC banned DiDi from registering new users, ordered the removal of its app from app stores, and subsequently fined the company $1.2 billion in July 2022 for violating Chinese cybersecurity, data security, and personal information protection laws. A $740 million settlement was negotiated to redress damages caused to investors.
