    Jardine Matheson Strengthens Strategic Partnership with Zhongsheng Group

    MEDIA RELEASE For immediate release Jardine Matheson Strengthens Strategic Partnership with Zhongsheng Group 1 July 2021 – Today, Jardine Matheson announced that it has reached an agreement with Zhongsheng Group Holdings Limited (“Zhongsheng”), a leading automobile distribution group in China whose shares are listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, to strengthen the strategic partnership between the two companies. Under this agreement, Jardine Matheson will transfer to Zhongsheng its Mercedes-Benz auto dealership business operating in the Chinese mainland under the Zung Fu brand. The total consideration of this transaction is US$1.3 billion which will be settled by Zhongsheng in both new Zhongsheng shares and cash. Upon closing of the transaction, Jardine Matheson is expected to increase its shareholding in Zhongsheng to 21.25%, solidifying its position as the second largest shareholder of Zhongsheng, after the founders. Completion of the transaction is subject to certain customary conditions, including consent by Mercedes-Benz, approval by shareholders of Zhongsheng as well as relevant regulators on the Chinese mainland. Jardine Matheson’s auto dealership business in China consists of its ownership of the Zung Fu Group and its stake in Zhongsheng. Combining Zung Fu’s Chinese mainland business with Zhongsheng will enable Jardine Matheson to consolidate its investment in the sector in a single, larger integrated platform to better position its Chinese mainland business for growth in a dynamic environment, operating with the advantage of scale. “We see tremendous potential for both Zhongsheng and Jardines to benefit from the strengthening of our strategic relationship. By integrating and aligning with one of China’s premier automobile distribution groups, Jardines will enjoy an enhanced presence in China’s rapidly evolving auto sector,” said John Witt, Group Managing Director of Jardine Matheson.

    The Future of Mobility Ride-Hailing and New Businesses to Fuel $7Tn+

    EQUITY RESEARCH | June 4, 2019 | 6:25 AM EDT The following is a redacted version of the original report. See inside for details. THE FUTURE OF M BILITY Ride-hailing and new businesses to fuel $7tn+ global mobility market The next 10 years of mobility will bring more change in the way that people and products move than any decade since the invention of the automobile. Emerging technologies and business models like ride-hailing and sharing, autonomous driving and delivery, micro-mobility and even eVTOL (flying cars, finally) stand to disrupt profit pools that we estimate exceed $700bn, and venture backed startups and incumbents will attempt to address over $7tn in spend- ing. Given the size of the opportunity, it should come as no surprise that access to capital has created a hyper competi- tive environment marked by massive operating losses driven by marketing, subsidies, incentives, and capital in- vestment. As this environment matures and rationalizes, we expect consolidation that will lead to profitability, the establishment of category leaders, and significant opportunities for investors. Heath P.
