Baozun Inc. (Nasdaq: BZUN) (“Baozun” or the “Company”), the leading brand e-commerce service partner that helps brands execute their e-commerce strategies in China, today announced the pricing of the global offering (the “Global Offering”) of 40,000,000 Class A ordinary shares (the “Shares”), which comprises an international offering and a Hong Kong public offering. The final offer price for both the international offering and the Hong Kong public offering (the “Offer Price”) has been set at HK$82.90 per Share. Based on the ratio of three Shares per Nasdaq-listed American depositary share (“ADS”), the Offer Price translates to approximately US$32.10 per ADS (based on an exchange rate of HK$7.7499 to US$1.00). The Company has set Offer Price by taking into consideration, among other factors, the closing price of the ADSs on September 22, 2020 (the last trading day before pricing). Subject to approval from The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “SEHK”), the Shares are expected to begin trading on the Main Board of the SEHK on September 29, 2020 under the stock code “9991.HK.” The Global Offering is expected to close on the same day, subject to customary closing conditions.

The Company’s ADSs will continue to be listed and traded on Nasdaq. Upon the secondary listing in Hong Kong, the Class A ordinary shares traded on the SEHK will be fully fungible with the Class A ordinary shares represented by the ADSs traded on Nasdaq.

The gross proceeds to the Company from the Global Offering, before deducting underwriting fees and the offering expenses, are expected to be approximately HK$3,316.0 million. In addition, the Company has granted the international underwriters an over-allotment option, exercisable from September 23, 2020 until 30 days thereafter, to require the Company to issue up to an additional 6,000,000 Shares at the Offer Price.

The Company plans to use the net proceeds from the Global Offering for expanding its brand partner network, enhancing its digital marketing and fulfillment capabilities, potential strategic alliances, investment in technology and innovation, and potential merger and acquisition opportunities.
