HANGZHOU, China, Nov. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Cloud Village Inc.

Subject to the level of any oversubscription in the Hong Kong Public Offering and pursuant to the clawback mechanism as described in the prospectus issued in Hong Kong, the total number of shares available under the Hong Kong Public Offering could be adjusted to up to a maximum of 8,000,000 offer Shares, representing approximately 50.0% of the Offer Shares initially available under the Offering. In addition, the Company expects to grant the international underwriters an over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 2,400,000 new Shares in the International Offering, representing not more than 15.0% of the Offer Shares initially available under the Offering.
The offer price for the Hong Kong Public Offering (the "Hong Kong Offer Price") will be not more than HK$220.00 per share (the "Maximum Offer Price"). The Company will set the International Offer Price by December 1, 2021 Hong Kong time. Shares will be traded in board lots of 50 shares.
The Company plans to use the net proceeds from the Offering for continuingly cultivating its community, innovating and improving technological capabilities, selected mergers, acquisitions and strategic investments, and general corporate purposes.
Fully Electronic Application Process for the Hong Kong Public Offering
The Company has decided to adopt a fully electronic application process for the Hong Kong Public Offering, with no printed copies of prospectuses or application forms. A fully electronic application process is consistent with the way in which the Company's users and stakeholders engage and interact with each other and the Company.
