Zhipu has launched a financing package totaling about $5 billion, comprising an approximately $2 billion Hong Kong share placement and about $3 billion in convertible bonds. The company will issue 21.97 million new shares at HK$714 each, a roughly 10% discount to its September 11 closing price of HK$793. It will also issue RMB 20.14 billion, or about $3 billion, in zero-coupon convertible bonds due September 2027, priced at 100% to 100.5% of face value with a yield of -0.5% to 0%. The initial conversion price is HK$892.5, a 25% premium to the placement price. Proceeds will mainly fund research and development, computing resources and related infrastructure, as well as business expansion, strategic investments, potential mergers and acquisitions, working capital and other corporate purposes. The share placement and convertible bond issuance are being conducted simultaneously, but their closings are not interdependent.
