Jumei Announces Strategic Investment
in BabyTree
BEIJING, July 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Jumei International Holding
Limited (NYSE: JMEI) ("Jumei" or the "Company"), China's leading online retailer of beauty products, today
announced that it has agreed to provide BabyTree with a convertible loan and a revolving credit facility of up to RMB1.55 billion
(US$250 million). The principal of the convertible loan portion of the transaction could reach as high as RMB744 million (US$120
million) depending on the working capital needs of BabyTree and certain operating performance criteria being met. The loan will
be convertible into a minority interest in BabyTree based on a pre-agreed formula. The revolving credit facility will be RMB806
million (US$130 million), and drawdown by BabyTree will also depend on the working capital needs of BabyTree and certain operating
performance criteria being met.
According to BabyTree, BabyTree is the largest online parenting
community in China, and is among the largest online parenting communities globally as ranked by traffic volume. Currently
the DAU (daily active users) of BabyTree has surpassed 10 million. BabyTree.com, the website of the company, along
with its mobile apps “BabyTree Pregnancy” and “BabyTree Footprints,” cover over 80% of pregnancy-stage parents and
parents of 0-6 year-old children in China. The “BabyTree Pregnancy” app ranks number one among baby and maternity
mobile apps in China.
Mr. Leo Ou Chen, founder and CEO of Jumei, stated, “This
strategic deal with BabyTree will strengthen our ability to create greater value in an important demographic. We believe this market
has vast growth potential. Leveraging the enormous user base of BabyTree and Jumei’s supply chain and logistics expertise
in cross border ecommerce, we are confident to become the dominant female ecommerce platform in China. We see significant cross-selling
potentials across all Jumei product categories.”
Mr. Allen Huainan Wang, CEO of BabyTree, commented, “The
funds from this transaction will be used to develop BabyTree’s businesses, especially our e-commerce segment. Teaming up
with Jumei will be a very beneficial partnership for us, and we believe it will allow BabyTree's e-commerce business to rapidly
grow to become number one in the baby and maternity sector. We believe the cooperation will help us bring about significant changes
in the online retail industry of parenting products.”
