​ (b)Reorganization Prior to the incorporation of the Company and the completion of the restructuring (the “Restructuring”) as described below, the Group conducted its business initially through Beijing Chagee and its subsidiaries in the PRC. Beijing Chagee had previously issued Series A and Series B preferred shares to certain investors during the years of 2020 and 2021 (Note 18). In connection with the proposed initial public offering of the Company’s shares, the Group undertook certain corporate restructuring activities in 2023 to establish an offshore structure with the Company as the Group’s ultimate holding company. To effect the Restructuring, the following steps were undertaken:
| ● | In June 2023, the Company established a directly wholly owned subsidiary Chagee Holdings Singapore, and Chagee Holdings Singapore established a wholly owned subsidiary Chagee Investment.
In July 2023, in anticipation of the Restructuring, the Company issued preferred shares to certain Beijing Chagee’s Series A and Series B preferred shareholders in proportion to their previous respective equity interest in Beijing Chagee and with substantially the same terms. For preferred shareholders who are required to complete certain regulatory procedures before they can legally own shares in the Company, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with them that they shall exchange their interest in Beijing Chagee into preferred shares of the Company when regulatory procedures are completed. ​
1. | ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES (CONTINUED)
(b)Reorganization (continued)
| ● | In October 2023, Chagee investment paid to Beijing Chagee RMB 36.9 million as capital contribution and then all existing ordinary shareholders of Beijing Chagee transferred their interest in Beijing Chagee to Chagee Investment for nominal consideration and all preferred shareholders’ interest in Beijing Chagee were repurchased by Beijing Chagee. As a result, Chagee Investment obtained 100% equity interests of Beijing Chagee. In September and November 2023, Beijing Chagee paid RMB 195.0 million and RMB 110.0 million, respectively to the Series A and Series B preferred shareholders as legal consideration for repurchase of their interest in Beijing Chagee. Such consideration must be returned to the Company as the legal subscription price for the preferred shares of the Company and was actually received by the Company before the completion of the Restructuring in December 2023. The consideration paid is accounted for as a bridge loan to the shareholders.
| ● | In December 2023, the required regulatory procedures were completed for certain preferred shareholders to legally own shares in the Company. As such, they completed the exchange of their interest in Beijing Chagee into preferred shares of the Company pursuant to the exchange agreement.
| ● | Upon completion of the Restructuring in December 2023, all of the ordinary and preferred shareholders of Beijing Chagee exchanged their interests into ordinary shares, Series A and Series B preferred shares of the Company as applicable, which are in proportion to their previous respective equity interests in Beijing Chagee prior to the Restructuring.
Upon the completion of the Restructuring, the business was still carried out by PRC subsidiaries and within the Group. The Company, Chagee Holdings Singapore and Chagee Investment had no operations and only nominal amounts of net assets prior to the consummation of the Restructuring and did not meet the definition of a business. All of the Group’s business continued to be conducted through Beijing Chagee and its subsidiaries after the Restructuring. There was no change in control over the Group before and after the Restructuring. Accordingly, the above Restructuring transactions, are regarded as a non-substantive recapitalization of Beijing Chagee with no change in the basis of presentation of the financial statements. The Group’s financial information has been prepared on a consolidated basis as if the corporate structure of the Company after the Restructuring had been in existence throughout the periods presented, and represents a continuation of the consolidated financial statements of Beijing Chagee whereas the assets, liabilities and operating results were presented at their historical carrying values.
