Dingdong (Cayman) Limited Sets Record Date for 2026 Annual Shareholder Meeting
Dingdong (Cayman) Limited, a prominent player in China’s fresh grocery e-commerce industry, has officially announced the record date for its 2026 Annual General Meeting (AGM). This announcement outlines the necessary steps for shareholders to ensure their participation in this vital meeting, scheduled to address key corporate matters and governance.
The Record Date and Eligibility
According to the announcement, the record date for determining who can vote and attend the upcoming AGM will be at the close of business on March 9, 2026, Shanghai time. This means that shareholders of the Class A and Class B ordinary shares must be registered before this date to be eligible. The company's shares are valued at a par of $0.000002 each, emphasizing the firm’s commitment to transparency and accessibility for its investors.
For those who hold their shares through the Cayman Islands' principal share register, it is essential to lodge all necessary transfer documentation along with the respective share certificates with the Company’s principal share registrar and transfer office, Maples Fund Services (Cayman) Limited, by 6:00 p.m. on March 6, 2026, Cayman Islands time. The deadline for this submission aligns with the time difference between the Cayman Islands and Shanghai, ensuring clarity for all contributors.
Attendance and Voting Rights
It's important to note that holders of American depositary shares (ADSs) issued by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas can attend the AGM but are not entitled to vote. The record date for ADS holders is also set for March 6, 2026, New York time. Following this date, these shareholders will receive voting materials from the Depositary. They can instruct the Depositary on how to vote on behalf of their respective Class A ordinary shares.
However, if any ADS holders decide to cancel their ADSs in exchange for Class A ordinary shares, they will not be counted among the eligible ADS holders for voting purposes on the indicated record date. This light on the governing rules highlights Dingdong’s focus on compliance with regulations while ensuring that all stakeholders are informed about their rights and the processes involved.
