113、 looking to expand rapidly.Our History and Corporate StructureWe commenced our operations in China in 2017.In December 2020,Beijing Chagee CateringManagement Co.,Ltd.,or Beijing Chagee,was established,and we currently conduct all of our business inChina through Beijing Chagee and its subsidiaries.We

114、 do not use a variable interest entity structure.We incorporated Chagee Holdings Limited,an exempted company with limited liability in the CaymanIslands,as our ultimate holding company in May 2023 in anticipation of this offering and future capitalraising from international investors.In June 2023,we

115、 established CHAGEE HOLDINGS PTE.LTD.,or Chagee Holdings Singapore,andCHAGEE INVESTMENT PTE.LTD.,or Chagee Investment,under the laws of Singapore as intermediaryholding companies.Chagee Holdings Singapore owns 100%of the equity interest in Chagee Investment,and Chagee Investment acquired 100%of the

116、equity interest in Beijing Chagee through a series oftransactions completed in October 2023.Through a series of transactions completed in December 2023,which we refer to collectively as the“Restructuring”throughout this prospectus,the then-shareholders of Beijing Chagee(or their designedaffiliates)r

117、eceived ordinary shares,Series A and B preferred shares of Chagee Holdings Limited,asapplicable,substantially in proportion to their respective equity interests in Beijing Chagee immediatelyprior to the Restructuring and with substantially the same terms.In July 2023,we established CHAGEE GROUP(SEA)

125、 the holder thereof into ClassA ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis.Holding Company StructureWe are a holding company with no business operations of our own.We conduct all of our operationsthrough our subsidiaries located in China and elsewhere.As a result,our ability to pay dividends dependsupon

126、 dividends paid by our subsidiaries.If our subsidiaries incur debt on their own behalf in the future,theinstruments governing their debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends to us.Our subsidiaries in Chinaare permitted to pay dividends to us only out of their retained earnings,if any,as deter

127、mined in accordancewith the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprise as promulgated by the Ministry of Finance of thePRC,or the PRC GAAP.Under the PRC law,each of our subsidiaries in China is required to set aside atleast 10%of 5TABLE OF CONTENTS its after-tax profits each year,if any,to fund ce

128、rtain statutory reserve funds until such reserve funds reach50%of their registered capital.The statutory reserve funds are not distributable as cash dividends.Remittance of dividends by a wholly foreign-owned company out of China is subject to examination by thebanks designated by SAFE.Our subsidiar

129、ies in China have not paid dividends and will not be able to paydividends until they generate accumulated profits and meet the requirements for statutory reserve funds.See“RegulationRegulations Relating to Dividend Distributions”for a detailed discussion of the PRC legalrestrictions on dividends and

130、 our ability to transfer cash within our group.Cash Flows through Our OrganizationWe currently do not have cash management policies that dictate how funds are transferred betweenChagee Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries,and its shareholders and ADS holders.Cash is usuallytransferred within our gr

131、oup in the following manner:(i)funds may be transferred to Chagee Investmentand Chagee Holdings(UK)Limited,and further to their respective subsidiaries,from Chagee HoldingsLimited as needed through CHAGEE HOLDINGS PTE.LTD.,or Chagee Holdings Singapore,in the formof capital contributions or sharehold

132、er loans,as the case may be;and(ii)dividends or other distributionsmay be paid by Chagee Investment and Chagee Holdings(UK)Limited to Chagee Holdings Limitedthrough Chagee Holdings Singapore.In the years ended December 31,2022,2023 and 2024 and as of the date of this prospectus,ChageeHoldings Limite

133、d did not transfer any cash to or from any of our PRC subsidiaries,except for the cashtransfers within our group in connection with the Restructuring.In 2023,(i)shareholder loans totalledUS$5.5 million,US$250 thousand and US$20 thousand from Chagee Holdings Limited to ChageeInvestment,Chagee Holding

134、s Singapore and Chagee Group(SEA)PTE.LTD.,respectively,and(ii)capitalcontributions totalled RMB36.9 million from Chagee Investment to Beijing Chagee.See Note 1(b)to ourconsolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.In the future,cash proceeds raisedfrom overseas financing ac

135、tivities,including this offering,may be transferred by Chagee Holdings Limitedthrough Chagee Holdings Singapore and Chagee Investment to Beijing Chagee,via capital contribution andshareholder loans,as the case may be.Beijing Chagee then will transfer funds to its subsidiaries to meet thecapital need

136、s of our business operations in China.The ability of Chagee Holdings Limited to pay dividends,if any,to its shareholders and ADS holdersand to service any debt it may incur will depend upon dividends paid by our subsidiaries,particularly ourPRC subsidiaries that conduct a significant portion of our

137、business operations.None of our PRCsubsidiaries have issued any dividends or distributions to their respective holding companies,includingChagee Holdings Limited,or any investors as of the date of this prospectus,and they will not be able to doso until they generate accumulated profits and meet the

138、requirements for statutory reserve funds.However,there could be limitations on our ability to transfer cash between Chagee Holdings Limitedand its subsidiaries,and investors of our company.For example,PRC regulations only allow oursubsidiaries to pay dividends from their accumulated profits.Furtherm

139、ore,each PRC subsidiaries mustallocate 10%of after-tax profits annually to a statutory reserve,until it equals 50%of the subsidiarysregistered capital,which are not distributable as dividends.In addition,dividend payments or other equitydistributions are subject to SAFE procedures for cross-border t

140、ransactions.The Enterprise Income Tax Lawimposes a withholding tax rate of up to 10%to dividends paid by Chinese companies to non-PRC residententerprises,unless exemptions or reductions are granted.If our PRC subsidiaries incur debt in the future,the debt instruments may limit their ability to pay d

141、ividends or make distributions to us,potentiallyaffecting our liquidity.Additionally,investors should be aware that to the extent cash in the business is inthe PRC or a PRC entity,the funds may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of thePRC due to interventions in or the impo

142、sition of restrictions and limitations on the ability of our subsidiariesby the PRC government to transfer cash.Any restrictions on our subsidiaries ability to pay dividends ormake other payments to us could significantly impede our growth,investment opportunities,acquisitions,dividend payments to o

143、ur investors,and overall business operations.On the other hand,transferring fundsto our PRC subsidiaries,whether as loans or increases in registered capital,requires approvals,registrations,or filings with relevant PRC regulatory authorities.Obtaining these approvals or completing registrations orfi

144、lings in a timely manner for future capital contributions or foreign loans from us to our PRC subsidiariesmay be uncertain or delayed.Furthermore,funds transferred to our PRC subsidiaries are subject to foreignexchange restrictions,including limitations on loan amounts and usage,as per relevant PRC

145、laws andregulations.For additional information 6TABLE OF CONTENTS about the applicable PRC regulations and rules relating to such cash transfers through our group and theassociated risks,see“Risk FactorsRisks Relating to Doing Business in ChinaWe may rely ondividends and other distributions on equit

149、steadare purchasing equity securities of a Cayman Islands holding company.Chagee Holdings Limited is aCayman Islands holding company that conducts all of its operations through its subsidiaries located inChina and elsewhere.Such structure involves unique risks to investors in the ADSs.As a China-bas

150、ed company incorporated in the Cayman Islands,we face various legal and operationalrisks and uncertainties related to being based in and having a significant portion of our operations in China.The PRC regulatory authorities have significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of our businessan

151、d may influence our operations as they deem appropriate to further economic,regulatory,political andsocietal goals.The PRC regulatory authorities have published new policies that affected certain industrieswith respect to matters such as cybersecurity,data privacy,antitrust and competition,foreign i

152、nvestments,and overseas listings,and we cannot rule out the possibility that it will in the future release regulations orpolicies regarding our industry that could adversely affect our business,financial condition and results ofoperations.Furthermore,the PRC regulatory authority has recently issued

153、new laws and regulations to exertmore oversight and control over overseas securities offerings and other capital markets activities and foreigninvestment in China-based companies like us.Any such action,once taken by the PRC regulatory authority,could significantly limit or completely hinder our abi

154、lity to offer or continue to offer securities to investorsand cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or in extreme cases,become worthless.You should consider carefully all of the information in this prospectus,including the risks anduncertainties described below,before making an

155、 investment in the ADSs.Full-fledged discussion of thesesummary risk factors can be found in the section headed“Risk Factors”under the same subheadings.Risks Relating to Our Business and IndustryOur limited operating history may not be indicative of our future growth or financial results and wemay n

184、fluctuate significantly.(pages 57)The trading price of the ADSs is likely to be volatile,which could result in substantial losses toinvestors.(page 57)Substantial future sales or perceived potential sales of ADSs in the public market could cause theprice of ADSs to decline.(pages 58)Because we do no

216、curities on U.S.markets,including Nasdaq,may be prohibited under the HoldingForeign Companies Accountable Act,as amended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act,2023(the“HFCAA”)if the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board(the“PCAOB”)determines that it is unableto inspect or investigate completely

217、 our auditor for two consecutive years because of a position taken byauthorities in a foreign jurisdiction.On December 16,2021,the PCAOB issued the HFCAA DeterminationReport to notify the SEC of its determinations that the PCAOB was unable to inspect or investigatecompletely registered public accoun

218、ting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong(the“2021Determinations”),including our auditor which is headquartered in mainland China.On December 15,2022,the PCAOB announced that it was able to conduct inspections and investigations of PCAOB-registeredpublic accounting firms headquartered

219、 in mainland China and Hong Kong in 2022.The PCAOB vacated itsprevious 2021 Determinations accordingly.However,whether the PCAOB will continue to be able to satisfactorily conduct inspections andinvestigations of PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and HongKong i

220、s subject to uncertainty and depends on a number of factors out of our,and our auditors controlincluding positions taken by authorities of the PRC.The PCAOB is expected to continue to demandcomplete access to inspections and investigations against accounting firms headquartered in mainland Chinaand

221、Hong Kong in the future and states that it has already made plans to resume regular inspections in thefuture.The PCAOB is required under the HFCAA to make its determination on an annual basis with regards toits ability to inspect and investigate completely accounting firms based in the mainland Chin

222、a and HongKong,among other jurisdictions.The possibility of being a“Commission-Identified Issuer”and risk of 11TABLE OF CONTENTS delisting could continue to adversely affect the trading price of our securities.If the PCAOB determines inthe future that it no longer has full access to inspect and inve

223、stigate accounting firms headquartered inmainland China and Hong Kong and we continue to use such accounting firm to conduct audit work,wewould be identified as a“Commission-Identified Issuer”under the HFCAA following the filing of theannual report for the relevant fiscal year,and if we were so iden

224、tified for two consecutive years,trading inour securities on U.S.markets would be prohibited under the HFCAA and Nasdaq or any other U.S.exchange on which our securities are listed may determine to delist our securities.For more details,see“Risk FactorsRisks Relating to Doing Business in ChinaTradin

225、g in our securities may be prohibitedunder the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act if the PCAOB determines that it is unable to inspector investigate completely our auditor,and as a result,U.S.national securities exchanges,such as Nasdaq,may determine to delist our securities.The delisting of

226、the ADSs,or the threat of their being delisted,maymaterially and adversely affect the value of your investment.”Permissions Required from the PRC Authorities for Our Operations and This OfferingWe are required to obtain certain licenses,permits and approvals from,and complete certainregistrations an
