Exhibit 99.1
CONCORD MEDICAL ANNOUNCES PLAN TO IMPLEMENT ADS RATIO CHANGE
BEIJING, July 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Concord Medical Services Holdings Limited (“Concord Medical” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CCM), a healthcare provider specialized in cancer treatment, research, education and prevention in China, today announced that it plans to change the ratio of its American depositary shares (“ADSs”) to Class A ordinary shares (the “ADS Ratio”) from the current ADS Ratio of one (1) ADS representing three (3) Class A ordinary shares to a new ADS Ratio of one (1) ADS representing thirty (30) Class A ordinary shares. The Company anticipates that the change in the ADS Ratio will be effective on July 30, 2024 (U.S. Eastern Time). The ADSs of Concord Medical will continue to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “CCM.”
For the ADS holders of Concord Medical, the change in the ADS Ratio will have the same effect as a one-for-ten reverse ADS split. Each ADS holder at the open of business on the date when the change in ADS Ratio is effective will be required to surrender and exchange every ten (10) existing ADSs then held for one (1) new ADS. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the depositary bank for the ADS program of Concord Medical, will arrange for the exchange of the current ADSs for the new ones.
No fractional new ADSs will be issued in connection with the change in the ADS Ratio. Instead, fractional entitlements to new ADSs will be aggregated and sold by the depositary bank, and the net cash proceeds from the sale of the fractional ADS entitlements (after deduction of fees, taxes, and expenses) will be distributed to the applicable ADS holders by the depositary bank. The change in the ADS Ratio will have no impact on the underlying Class A ordinary shares of Concord Medical, and no Class A ordinary shares will be issued or cancelled in connection with the change in the ADS Ratio.
As a result of the change in the ADS Ratio, the ADS trading price of Concord Medical is expected to increase proportionally, although the Company can give no assurance that the ADS trading price after the change in the ADS Ratio will be equal to or greater than ten times the ADS trading price before the change.
