JunHe Advises Legend Capital on its Secondary Offering of ADSs in Atour

2023.12.11

On December 8, 2023, Legend Capital completed the secondary offering of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) held by it in Atour Lifestyle Holdings Limited (“Atour” with the ticker symbol ATAT) (the “Project”). Legend Capital sold an aggregate of 9,600,000 ADSs to public investors, with an over-allotment of up to 1,440,000 ADSs, at a price of US$15.80 per ADS. The aggregate consideration was US$174 million (or RMB1.25 billion following the full exercise of the over-allotment option).


JunHe acted as the PRC legal counsel to both the selling shareholder Legend Capital and Atour (with their prior consent). By conducting the legal due diligence in China, drafting the legal opinions and providing other comprehensive, high-quality and efficient legal services to Legend Capital and Atour, JunHe’s team assisted the clients in successfully completing the transaction. It was Atour’s third open-market project that JunHe’s team had advised on, after assisting with its initial public offering of shares and listing on NASDAQ in November 2022 and advising on the initial registration and offering of certain Atour ADSs by Legend Capital in July 2023. JunHe’s team was recognized and trusted by the issuer, the underwriters and the other intermediaries for its detail-oriented expertise, dedicated attitude and professional services.


The JunHe team was led by partners WANG, Yi and HE, Tingcai (Lawrence HO) who was also responsible for the specific work of the Project. JunHe partner ZHOU, Fang provided great support for the internal review.
