EHang Announces Over US$22 Million PIPE Investment From Strategic Investors Including Enpower
November 14 2024 - 5:55AM
EHang Holdings Limited (“EHang” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EH), the
world’s leading Urban Air Mobility (“UAM”) technology platform
company, today announced a strategic investment totaling over US$22
million. The investors are Zhuhai Enpower Electric Co., Ltd.
(“Enpower”, SZ300681), a Chinese leading new energy vehicle power
systems provider, and a strategic institutional investor from the
Middle East. Both investors agree to a 180-day lock-up period.
The strategic investment from Enpower is based
on its recently announced long-term strategic partnership and
technology development cooperation with EHang, aimed at
co-developing high-performance electric motor drive systems for
EHang’s suite of electric vertical take-off and landing (“eVTOL”)
aircraft.
Additionally, the strategic investment from the
United Arab Emirates (“UAE”)-based investor reflects their optimism
in China's emerging low-altitude economy industry and EHang's
growth potential as a global eVTOL leader. The UAE represents one
of EHang’s largest international markets with an intentional order
book of 100 units with five units delivered. This investor will
utilize their extensive financial and business network to assist in
EHang’s international expansion in other countries in the Middle
East as well as in Southeast Asia.
This strategic investment brings EHang’s total
year-to-date financing to nearly US$100 million, enhancing the
Company’s financial position as it embarks on its next phase of
development and growth in the global UAM industry. The financing
proceeds will bolster EHang’s efforts to advance the Company’s
next-generation eVTOL technologies and products, scale production
capacity, expand its team, establish new headquarters and operation
sites, and support general corporate activities.
Mr. Conor Yang, Chief Financial Officer of
EHang, commented, “We are pleased to announce the strategic
investment, which is a testament to the investors’ confidence in
EHang’s vision, strength and industry leadership. With this
investment, we are well-positioned to capitalize on the vast
opportunities in the UAM market and accelerate our development
pace. Additionally, the strategic investors’ support in the
upstream industry chain and in downstream international market
development will help us to strengthen our competitive edge. We
will continue to push the boundaries of innovation, safety, and
sustainability, and work towards making UAM a reality for people
around the world.”
