21、rdinary share is entitled to ten votes,subject to certain conditions,and is convertible into one Class A ordinary share at any time by the holder thereof.BingEx Limited is not a Chinese operating company,but a Cayman Islands holding company with no operations of its own.We conduct our operations pri
22、marily through(i)our PRCsubsidiaries and(ii)Beijing Tongcheng Biying Technology Co.,Ltd.,or the VIE,in China with which we have maintained contractual arrangements.PRC laws and regulations restrict andimpose conditions on foreign direct investment in companies involved in the provision of internet c
23、ontent services.Therefore,we operate such business in China through the VIE,and suchstructure is used to provide investors with exposure to foreign investment in China-based companies where PRC laws and regulations prohibit or restrict direct foreign investment in certainoperating companies.BingEx L
24、imited has no equity ownership in the VIE,which is consolidated for accounting purposes under U.S.GAAP.In 2021,2022,and 2023 and for the six monthsended June 30,2024,100.0%,96.9%,23.2%,and 19.1%of our revenues were contributed by the VIE,respectively.As used in this prospectus,“we,”“us,”“our company
25、,”or“our”refers toBingEx Limited and its subsidiaries,and,in the context of describing our operations and consolidated financial information,also includes the VIE in China.Investors in our ADSs are notpurchasing equity interest in the VIE in China but instead are purchasing equity interest in a hold
26、ing company incorporated in the Cayman Islands.This VIE structure involves unique risks toinvestors,and investors may never directly hold equity interests in the Chinese operating companies,such as the VIE.Our corporate structure is subject to risks associated with the contractual arrangements with
27、the VIE.The contractual arrangements may not be as effective as direct ownership over theVIE,the nominee shareholders of the VIE may have potential conflicts of interest with us,and we may incur substantial costs to enforce the terms of the arrangements.As such,the VIEstructure involves unique risks
28、 to investors of our Cayman Islands holding company.In addition,the legality and enforceability of the contractual agreements between our PRC subsidiaries,the VIE,and its nominee shareholders,as a whole,have not been tested in a court of law in China.If the PRC government determines that the contrac
29、tual arrangements constituting the part ofthe VIE structure do not comply with PRC laws and regulations,or if regulations change or are interpreted differently in the future,we and the VIE could be subject to severe penalties or beforced to relinquish our interests in those operations.The PRC regula
30、tory authorities could disallow the VIE structure,which would affect our ability to consolidate the financial results of theVIE and the financial performance of our company as a whole and likely result in a material adverse change in our operations,and the value of our ADSs could significantly decli
31、ne orbecome worthless.Our holding company,our PRC subsidiaries,the VIE,and investors of BingEx Limited face uncertainty about potential future actions that could affect the enforceability ofthe contractual arrangements with the VIE and,consequently,significantly affect the financial performance of t
32、he VIE and our company as a whole.For a detailed description of the risksassociated with our corporate structure,please refer to risks disclosed under“Risk FactorsRisks Relating to Our Corporate Structure.”We face various legal and operational risks and uncertainties relating to doing business in Ch
33、ina.Our business operations are primarily conducted in China,and we are subject tocomplex and evolving PRC laws and regulations.The PRC government has significant authority in regulating our business and may intervene or influence our operations at any time.Forexample,the PRC government has issued s
34、tatements and regulatory actions relating to areas such as regulatory approvals on overseas offerings and listings conducted by,and foreigninvestment in,China-based issuers,the use of VIE,anti-monopoly regulatory actions,and oversight on cybersecurity and data privacy,which may impact our ability to
35、 conduct certainbusinesses,accept foreign investments,or list on a United States stock exchange.These risks could result in a material adverse change in our operations and the value of our ADSs,significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to continue to offer securities to investors,or cause
36、 the value of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless.For a detaileddescription of risks relating to doing business in China,see“Risk FactorsRisks Relating to Doing Business in China.”As a network platform operator who possesses personal informationof more than one million users

41、CAOB will determine whether it can inspect and investigate completely audit firms in mainlandChina and Hong Kong,among other jurisdictions.If the PCAOB determines in the future that it no longer has full access to inspect and investigate completely accounting firms in mainlandChina and Hong Kong and
42、 we continue to use an accounting firm headquartered in one of these jurisdictions to issue an audit report on our financial statements filed with the SEC,we wouldbe identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer following the filing of the annual report on Form 20-F for the relevant fiscal year.There
43、 can be no assurance that we would not be identified asa Commission-Identified Issuer for any future fiscal year,and if we were so identified for two consecutive years,we would become subject to the prohibition on trading under the HFCAA.For more details,see“Risk FactorsRisks Relating to Our Busines

73、ecially therisks of investing in the ADSs discussed under“Risk Factors,”before deciding whether to invest in the ADSs.This prospectus contains informationfrom an industry report commissioned by us dated April 1,2024 and prepared by Shanghai iResearch Co.,Ltd.,an independent research firm,toprovide i
74、nformation regarding our industry and our market position in China.We refer to this report as the“iResearch Report.”OverviewWho We AreOur mission is to make peoples lives better through our services.We are the pioneer in providing on-demand dedicated courier services for individual and business cust
75、omers with superior time certainty,delivery safety and service quality.We brand our services as“FlashEx,”or“闪送”(pronounced as“Shan Song”)in Chinese,which means deliveryin a flash.FlashEx has become synonymous with on-demand dedicated courier services in China,according to iResearch.We are the larges
76、t independent on-demand dedicated courier service provider in China as measured by revenue in 2023,according toiResearch.Since the inception of our commercial operation in 2014,our business has flourished with individual and business customers embracingthe on-demand dedicated courier industry.As of
77、June 30,2024,we had approximately 2.7 million registered riders,and had expanded our servicescoverage to 295 cities in China.In 2023,our market share of the independent on-demand dedicated courier service in China was approximately33.9%,according to iResearch.Our Market OpportunitiesWith the rapid d
78、evelopment of new retail in China and the shift of consumer behavior in the mobile internet era,an increasing number ofindividuals and business customers are demanding time-sensitive delivery services and are willing to pay a premium price for time certainty andservice quality.Moreover,the white-col
79、lar working class in urban areas in China generally have fast-paced work and daily lives,which increasetheir demand for timely and reliable delivery services that address their time constraints.As a result,on-demand delivery has become one of thefastest growing industries in China.The total market s
80、ize of the on-demand delivery market in China grew from RMB164.1 billion to RMB338.5billion from 2019 to 2023,at a CAGR of 19.8%,and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 19.1%to RMB809.6 billion by 2028,according toiResearch.Our journey began when our co-founders identified market opportunities for huge
81、 unmet demand of on-demand delivery service in China.Inparticular,customers demand for the delivery of high-value items such as business or personal documents,valuable or fragile merchandises,anditems that need to be delivered with greater time precision,is not well served by traditional delivery se
82、rvice providers with an order-merge modelthat inherently has higher risks of delay,loss,and damage.These are the pain points that we have identified and strived to address through ourinnovative dedicated courier model in China.We are an independent on-demand dedicated courier service provider.Accord
83、ing to iResearch,“independent on-demand dedicated courierservice providers”allocate resources based on market demand,as compared to“captive dedicated service providers”who rely on and prioritize thedemand from their associated e-commerce platform over market demand.Independent on-demand dedicated co
84、urier service providers usually havetheir own brands and reach out directly to their customers.Their customers generally choose their courier service providers at their discretions andthus are more loyal to such service providers as evidenced by a higher net promoter score.By contrast,captive dedica
85、ted service providersgenerally act as the fulfillment department of 1Table of Contentsthe wider e-commerce platform business and do not have direct client outreach.Their customers do not have full discretion over the choice ofservice providers and hence tend to be indifferent to the selection of ser
86、vice providers in general.According to iResearch,Chinas independent on-demand dedicated courier market is expected to grow from a market size of RMB15.6 billion in 2023 to RMB53.2 billion in 2028,representing aCAGR of 27.8%,outpacing the growth of Chinas overall on-demand delivery market.Our Service
87、sUnlike delivery service providers that adopt an order-merge model,we have initiated and consistently focused on an on-demand dedicatedcourier model that is designed to fulfill high-value order demands with high time-and quality-sensitivity.For each order,we assign a dedicatedFlash-Rider to pick up
88、and deliver the order to the recipient without combining multiple orders or changing hands on the route.In both 2023 andthe six months ended June 30,2024,our differentiated business model and positioning enabled us to achieve lower average delivery time,compared to the average of other major players
89、 in the on-demand dedicated courier industry,according to iResearch,while achieving a low lossrate of 0.01%.In 2023,we maintained a high customer satisfaction rate,respectively,according to iResearch.We will continue to offer our uniquevalue proposition to all participants in our business.For indivi
90、dual customers we serve,FlashEx has become the household brand and the preferred service provider when they look for highlytime-and quality-sensitive local delivery services.We help our individual customers to satisfy their need for on-demand delivery.Our strategicfocus on the dedicated courier mode
91、l has helped us establish trust and top-of-mind brand awareness with our customers.For business customers we serve,our services have become critical for their business strategy,operational focus,and brand image.Ourbusiness customers are able to expand their customer reach and provide high-quality se
92、rvices and products with time certainty,without the need toestablish their own logistics operation.Through partnering with FlashEx,business customers are able to align their high-end brand image with thepremium delivery services we provide.We believe our delivery services,differentiated with unmatch
93、ed time certainty,safety,and quality,provide such exceptional customerexperience for which customers are willing to pay a premium price.This lays out a solid foundation to our efficient unit economics.We were ableto charge an average price per order of RMB16.5 in the six months ended June 30,2024,wh
94、ich represents a significant premium compared to thatcharged by the other major players in the on-demand delivery industry,according to iResearch.Our Financial PerformanceWe have grown rapidly in recent years and achieved profitability in 2023.We have attracted more individual and business customers
95、 to useour services to achieve greater economies of scale.The increase in customer demand generates higher order volume,which in turn helps us engagemore Flash-Riders.The superior customer experience we provide,supported by a growing rider force that strengthens our network density anddelivery capac
96、ity,naturally leads to organic growth in customer base and order volume.This powerful network effect is the core engine that drivesthe organic and long-term growth of our business.We have fulfilled 158.6 million,213.4 million,270.7 million,and 138.1 million orders in 2021,2022,2023,and the six month
97、s ended June 30,2024,respectively.Our revenues increased from RMB3,039.8 million in 2021 to RMB4,002.7million in 2022,and further increased to RMB4,528.8 million(US$623.2 million)in 2023.Our revenues increased from RMB2,122.2 million inthe six months ended June 30,2023 to RMB2,284.5 million(US$314.4
98、 million)in the six months ended June 30,2024.We incurred net losses ofRMB291.0 million and RMB180.4 million in 2021 and 2022,respectively,and recorded a net income of RMB110.5 million(US$15.2 million)in2023.Our net income increased from RMB42.1 million in the six months ended June 30,2023 to RMB123

105、owing:We are highly dependent on the future growth and proliferation of on-demand delivery industry,which is new,rapidly evolving,anddifficult to predict.Our business and growth are dependent on individual consumption power and local retail in China.Any harm to our brand or reputation may materially
106、 and adversely affect our business and results of operation.We face intense competition,and if we fail to compete effectively against current and future competitors,our business and results ofoperation may be adversely affected.Changes to our pricing could adversely affect our competitiveness and ou

136、 Tongcheng Biying Technology Co.,Ltd.,or the VIE,a limited liability company established under thelaws of the PRC.We launched our FlashEx mobile application in July 2014.Our holding company,BingEx Limited,was incorporated in May 2014 under the laws of the Cayman Islands.BingEx Limited thenestablishe
137、d a wholly-owned subsidiary in Hong Kong,BingEx Global Limited,in June 2014.In July 2014,BingEx Global Limited established awholly-owned subsidiary in China,Beijing Shansong Technology Co.,Ltd.,or our WFOE.In August 2014,we gained control over the VIE throughour WFOE by entering into a series of con
138、tractual arrangements with the VIE and its shareholders,which were subsequently restated and amendedin May 2021 and November 2023.The VIE conducts businesses involving the provision of internet information services and has obtained a value-added telecommunication business operation license required
139、to conduct such businesses.The VIEs then subsidiary,Hainan Tongcheng BiyingTechnology Co.,Ltd.,or Hainan Tongcheng,conducts businesses including delivery services and certain administrative functions that are notsubject to the requirement to obtain a value-added telecommunication business operation
140、license.In May 2023,to streamline our corporatestructure,we completed an internal group restructuring to transfer the equity interests of Hainan Tongcheng to our WFOE.As a result,HainanTongcheng and its subsidiaries became subsidiaries of our WFOE,which did not affect our consolidated financial stat
141、ements.We are regarded as the primary beneficiary of the VIE.We treat the VIE as our consolidated VIE under U.S.GAAP,and have consolidatedthe financial results of these entities in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S.GAAP.For more details and risks related tothe variable int
142、erest entity structure,please see“Corporate History and StructureContractual Arrangements with the VIE and Its Shareholders”and“Risk FactorsRisks Relating to Our Corporate Structure.”6Table of ContentsThe following diagram illustrates our corporate structure as of the date of this prospectus,includi
143、ng our principal subsidiaries and otherentities as of the date of this prospectus:Note:*Shareholders of Beijing Tongcheng Biying Technology Co.,Ltd.,the VIE,include(i)Mr.Peng Xue,our founder,chairman of the board of directors,and chief executive officer,who holds 97.09%,and(ii)Mr.Hongjian Yu,our co-
144、founder,director,and executive president,who holds 2.91%.Our Holding Company Structure and the Contractual Arrangements with the VIEBingEx Limited is not a Chinese operating company,but a Cayman Islands holding company with no operations of its own and no equityownership in the VIE.We conduct our op
145、erations primarily through(i)our 7Table of ContentsPRC subsidiaries and(ii)the VIE in China,with which we maintain contractual arrangements.PRC laws and regulations restrict and imposeconditions on foreign direct investment in companies involved in the provision of internet content services.Therefor
146、e,we operate such business inChina through the VIE,and such structure is used to provide investors with exposure to foreign investment in China-based companies where PRClaws and regulations prohibit or restrict direct foreign investment in certain operating companies.BingEx Limited has no equity own
147、ership in theVIE,which is consolidated for accounting purposes under U.S.GAAP.In 2021,2022,and 2023 and for the six months ended June 30,2024,100.0%,96.9%,23.2%,and 19.1%of our revenues were contributed by the VIE,respectively.The significant decrease in the VIEs revenuecontribution in 2023 was attr
148、ibutable to our internal group restructuring efforts,with which all subsidiaries of the VIE that are not subject torestrictions on foreign direct investment were transferred out of the VIE to become subsidiaries of our PRC subsidiaries in 2023.The financialresults of these subsidiaries that were pre
149、viously consolidated through the VIE continue to be consolidated in 2023 as our PRC subsidiaries.Investors in our ADSs are not purchasing equity interest in the VIE in China but instead are purchasing equity interest in a holding companyincorporated in the Cayman Islands.This VIE structure involves
150、unique risks to investors,and investors may never directly hold equity interests inthe Chinese operating companies,such as the VIE.The equity interests of the VIE are held by Mr.Peng Xue,our founder,chairman of the board of directors,and chief executive officer,andMr.Hongjian Yu,our co-founder,direc
151、tor,and executive president.Mr.Xue and Mr.Yu are our shareholders and act as nominee shareholders ofthe VIE on behalf of BingEx Limited and our WFOE,a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours in China.A series of contractual agreements,includingpowers of attorney,exclusive business cooperation agreement,equi
152、ty interest pledge agreement,exclusive option agreement and spousal consentletter,have been entered into among BingEx Limited,our WFOE,the VIE and the nominee shareholders of the VIE.As a result of the contractualarrangements,we are considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE and have consolidated
153、 the financial results of the VIE in our consolidatedfinancial statements under the U.S.GAAP for accounting purposes.Neither BingEx Limited nor its investors has an equity ownership in,directforeign investment in,or control through such ownership or investment of,the VIE,and the contractual arrangem
154、ents are not equivalent to anequity ownership in the VIE.For more details of these contractual arrangements,see“Corporate History and StructureContractual Arrangementswith the VIE and Its Shareholders.”However,the contractual arrangements may not be as effective as direct ownership in providing us w
155、ith control over the VIE.Directownership would allow us,for example,to directly or indirectly exercise our rights as a shareholder to effect changes in the board of directors ofthe VIE.However,under the contractual arrangements,as a legal matter,if the VIE or its shareholders fail to perform their r
156、espective obligations,we may have to incur substantial costs and expend significant resources to enforce those arrangements and resort to litigation or arbitration and relyon legal remedies under PRC laws.In the event we are unable to enforce these contractual arrangements or we experience significa
157、nt delays orother obstacles in the process of enforcing these contractual arrangements,we may lose control over the assets owned by the VIE.As a result,wemay be unable to consolidate the VIE in our consolidated financial statements.In addition,the legality and enforceability of the contractualagreem
158、ents by and among our PRC subsidiaries,the VIE,and its shareholders,as a whole,have not been tested in a court of law in China.See“Risk FactorsRisks relating to Our Corporate StructureOur contractual arrangements may not be as effective in providing operational controlas direct ownership and the VIE

160、ith our company.”There are uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current and future PRC laws,regulations,and rules regarding the statusof the rights of our Cayman Islands holding company with respect to its contractual arrangements with the VIE and its shareholders.We cannotp
161、redict whether any new PRC laws or regulations relating to variable interest entity structures will be adopted or if adopted,what they wouldprovide.If we or the VIE are found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws or regulations,or fail to obtain or maintain any of therequired permits
162、 or approvals,the relevant PRC regulatory authorities may take action in 8Table of Contentsdealing with such violations or failures.A portion of our assets,including the necessary licenses to conduct business in China,are held by the VIE.If the PRC government determines that the contractual arrangem
163、ents constituting the part of the VIE structure do not comply with PRC laws andregulations,or if these regulations change or are interpreted differently in the future,we and the VIE could be subject to severe penalties or beforced to relinquish our interests in those operations.The PRC regulatory au

178、 the VIE in China.As a result,BingEx Limiteds ability to pay dividends depends upon dividends paid by our WFOE.If our WFOEor any newly formed PRC subsidiaries incur debt on their own behalf in the future,the instruments governing their debt may restrict their ability topay dividends to us.In additio
179、n,our WFOE is permitted to pay dividends to us only out of its retained earnings,if any,as determined in accordancewith PRC accounting standards and regulations.Under PRC laws,each of our WFOE and the VIE is required to set aside at least 10%of its after-tax profits each year,if any,to fund certain
180、statutory reserve funds until such reserve funds reach 50%of its registered capital.In addition,ourWFOE may allocate a portion of its after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to enterprise expansion funds and staff bonus and welfarefunds at its discretion,and the VIE may allocate a portio
181、n of their after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to a discretionary surplusfund at its discretion.The statutory reserve funds and the discretionary funds are not distributable as cash dividends.Remittance of dividends by awholly foreign-owned company out of China is subject to examinat
182、ion by the banks designated by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange,or SAFE.In addition,if we are considered as a PRC resident enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes,any dividends we pay to our overseasshareholders may be regarded as China-sourced income and as a result may be subject
183、 to PRC withholding tax,at a rate of 10%in the case of non-PRC enterprise shareholders(including the ADS holders)or 20%in the case of non-PRC individual shareholders(including the ADS holders).Asof June 30,2024,as our WFOE and substantially all of our other PRC subsidiaries and the consolidated VIE

235、ver financial reporting.The JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company does not need tocomply with any new or revised financial accounting standards until such date that a private company is otherwise required to comply with suchnew or revised accounting standards.We will remain an emerg
