Noah Holdings Limited Announces Primary Listing on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited
SHANGHAI, December 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Noah Holdings Limited (the “Company” or “Noah”) (NYSE: NOAH and HKEX: 6686), a leading and pioneer wealth management service provider in China offering comprehensive one-stop advisory services on global investment and asset allocation primarily for high net worth investors, announced that the Company’s voluntary conversion of its secondary listing status to a primary listing status on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Hong Kong Stock Exchange”) became effective today. The Company is now a dual-primary listed company on both the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in Hong Kong and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) in the United States.
Ms. Jingbo Wang, the Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “We are excited to have completed the conversion to dual primary listing status on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange today. The successful conversion brings us a step closer towards eligibility for the Mainland-Hong Kong Stock Connect program, which will optimize our investor base and improve liquidity for our shares. Noah is committed to creating value for shareholders and we will endeavor to continue providing quality financial services to our clients.”
The Company’s American Depositary Shares (“ADS(s)”) listed on the NYSE and the ordinary shares listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (the “ordinary share(s)”) are fungible (subject to the provisions of the ADS deposit agreement), and investors can continue to choose to hold their shares in the form of ADSs traded on the NYSE or ordinary shares traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. ADSs and ordinary shares are convertible in both directions (that is, into and out of ADS form), subject to certain limitations. The conversion between ADSs and ordinary shares, in either direction, can generally be completed electronically within two Hong Kong/U.S. business days under normal circumstances. If you are an investor, please reach out to your broker for further information on procedures and costs for conversion between ADSs and ordinary shares. If you are a broker, please reach out to Citibank, N.A., acting as the depositary for the Company’s ADSs in the U.S. or its custodian in Hong Kong, to effect a conversion between ADSs and ordinary shares. All costs attributable to effect a withdrawal of ordinary shares upon cancellation of the corresponding ADSs or a deposit of ordinary shares for issuance of the corresponding ADSs will be borne by the requesting investor.
