NetEase (NTES) Announces ADS Ratio Change

NetEase, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTES), one of China's leading internet and online game services providers, today announced that it will change the ratio of its American depositary shares ("ADSs"), representing ordinary shares, from the current one (1) ADS for every twenty-five (25) ordinary shares to one (1) ADS for every five (5) ordinary shares.

From the perspective of an ADS holder, the ADS ratio change has the same effect as a five-for-one ADS split, and NetEase ADS holders at the close of business, New York time, on September 30, 2020 will be entitled to receive four additional ADSs for every ADS held, effective October 1, 2020 at the close of business. There will be no change to NetEase's ordinary shares, and no action by ADS holders is required to effect the ratio change. In addition, existing ADSs will continue to be valid and will not have to be exchanged for new ADSs.

The effect of the ratio change on the ADS trading price on the NASDAQ Global Select Market is expected to take place on October 2, 2020.

The register held by the Bank of New York Mellon, the depositary, will close for issuances and cancellations of ADSs on the close of business, New York time, on September 29, 2020 and is expected to reopen on October 6, 2020.
