Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as those

defined in the prospectus dated Tuesday, October 28, 2025 (the “Prospectus ”) of Pony AI Inc. (the “Company ”).
|
||
This announcement is for information purposes only and does not constitute an offer or an invitation to induce an offer
|
||
by any person to acquire, purchase or subscribe for any of the securities of the Company. This announcement is not a
|
||
prospectus. Potential investors should read the Prospectus for detailed information about the Global Offering described
|
||
below before deciding whether or not to invest in the Offer Shares. Any investment decision in relation to the Offer
|
||
Shares should be taken solely in reliance on the information provided in the Prospectus.
|
||
This announcement is not for release, publication, distribution, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States
|
||
(including its territories and possessions, any state of the United States and the District of Columbia). This
|
||
announcement does not constitute or form a part of any offer or solicitation to purchase or subscribe for securities
|
||
in the United States or in any other jurisdiction. The Offer Shares have not been and will not be registered under the
|
||
U.S. Securities Act or any state securities law in the United States and may not be offered, sold, pledged or transferred
|
||
within the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration
|
||
requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws. The Offer Shares are being offered
|
||
and sold (i) outside the United States in offshore transactions in accordance with Regulation S and (ii) not to “U.S.
|
||
persons ” (as defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S ( “Regulation S ”) under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as
|
||
amended (the “Securities Act ”)) and not for the account or benefit of U.S. persons. The Offer Shares are not being
|
||
offered to individuals who hold solely a U.S. passport without also holding a valid Hong Kong identification card.
|
||
During the forty (40)-day period, commencing from 8:00 a.m. on November 6, 2025, Hong Kong time (7:00 p.m.
|
||
Eastern Time on November 5, 2025) and ending at 0:00 a.m. on December 17, 2025, Hong Kong time (11:00 a.m.
|
||
Eastern Time on December 16, 2025), both dates inclusive, (the “Distribution Compliance Period ”), no Shares issued
|
||
in the Global Offering will be accepted by the depositary for deposit in the existing ADR facility of the Company and
|
||
no such Shares can be offered or sold into the United States or to any U.S. persons or for the account or benefit of U.S.
|
||
persons. Investors participating in the Global Offering will need to agree and confirm that, in respect of their interest
|
||
in the Shares that they are purchasing in the Global Offering, that in the United States (as defined in Regulation S)
|
||
they have not engaged in, and will not prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period engage in, any
|
||
hedging transaction (whether executed through a sale of the Shares and/or American Depositary Shares representing
|
||
interests in the Company ’s Class A ordinary shares or any derivative instruments), whether such hedging transaction is
|
||
or was engaged in directly by the investors or any person having a beneficial interest in such Shares, or by any person
|
||
acting on the investors ’ or their behalf.
|
||
Investors may continue to trade the Company ’s Class A ordinary shares, including the Offer Shares, on the Hong Kong
|
||
Stock Exchange prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, pursuant to Rule 904 of Regulation S
|
||
or any other applicable exemption from the registration requirements under the U.S. Securities Act, including Section
|
||
4(a)(1) of the Securities Act, but transactions that do not comply with these restrictions could cause the investor
|
||
conducting such non-compliant transaction to violate the Securities Act. Investors should seek independent legal
|
||
advice before undertaking any such transaction. See the section headed “How to Apply for Hong Kong Offer Shares –
|
||
A. Application for Hong Kong Offer Shares – 6. Terms and Conditions of an Application ” in the Prospectus.

|
||
Because the Company has equity securities listed and traded in the United States and the Global Offering will not
|
||
be registered under the Securities Act, the measure implemented to ensure the Global Offering ’s compliance with
|
||
Regulation S are more extensive than those applied to most offerings and listings on The Stock Exchange of Hong
|
||
Kong. For a description of these measures, see the section headed “Structure of the Global Offering – The Global
|
||
Offering ” in the Prospectus.
|
||
In connection with the Global Offering, Goldman Sachs (Asia) L.L.C., as the stabilizing manager (the “Stabilizing
|
||
Manager ”) (or any person acting for it), on behalf of the Underwriters, may over-allocate or effect transactions with
|
||
a view to stabilizing or supporting the market price of the Class A Ordinary Shares at a level higher than that which
|
||
might otherwise prevail for a limited period after the Listing Date. However, there is no obligation on the Stabilizing
|
||
Manager (or any person acting for it) to conduct any such stabilizing action. Such stabilizing action, if taken, (a)
|
||
will be conducted at the absolute discretion of the Stabilizing Manager (or any person acting for it) and in what the
|
||
Stabilizing Manager (or any person acting for it) reasonably regards as the best interest of our Company, (b) may
|
||
be discontinued at any time, and (c) is required to be brought to an end within 30 days after the last day for lodging
|
||
applications under the Hong Kong Public Offering (which is Wednesday, December 3, 2025). Such stabilization
|
||
action, if taken, may be effected in all jurisdictions where it is permissible to do so, in each case in compliance with
|
||
all applicable laws, rules and regulatory requirements, including the Securities and Futures (Price Stabilizing) Rules
|
||
(Chapter 571W of the Laws of Hong Kong), as amended, made under the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter
|
||
571 of the Laws of Hong Kong).
|
||
Potential investors should be aware that no stabilizing action can be taken to support the price of the Class A
|
||
Ordinary Shares for longer than the stabilization period which begins on the Listing Date, and is expected to expire on
|
||
Wednesday, December 3, 2025, the 30th day after the last day for the lodging of applications under the Hong Kong
|
||
Public Offering. After this date, when no further stabilizing action may be taken, demand for the Class A Ordinary
|
||
Shares and therefore the price of the Class A Ordinary Shares, could fall.
|
||
Potential investors of the Offer Shares should note that the Joint Sponsors and the Overall Coordinators (for themselves
|
||
and on behalf of the Hong Kong Underwriters) shall be entitled to terminate their obligations under the Hong Kong
|
||
Underwriting Agreement with immediate effect upon the occurrence of any of the events set out in the section headed
|
||
“Underwriting – Underwriting Arrangements and Expenses – Hong Kong Public Offering – Grounds for Termination ”
|
||
in the Prospectus at any time prior to 8:00 a.m. (Hong Kong time) on the Listing Date (which is currently expected to
|
||
be on Thursday, November 6, 2025).
|
||
The Company is controlled through weighted voting rights. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks
|
||
of investing in a company with a WVR structure, in particular that the WVR Beneficiaries, whose interests may not
|
||
necessarily be aligned with those of our Shareholders as a whole, will be in a position to exert significant influence
|
||
over the outcome of Shareholders ’ resolution. For further information about the risks associated with the Company ’s
|
||
WVR structure, please refer to the section headed “Risk Factors { Risks Related to the Global Offering and the
|
||
Dual Listing. ” Prospective investors should make the decision to invest in the Company only after due and careful
|
||
consideration.

PUBLIC FLOAT AND FREE FLOAT
|
||
Immediately following the completion of the Global Offering (after taking into account
|
||
the full exercise of the Offer Size Adjustment Option and before any exercise of the Over-
|
||
allotment Option), the total number of the Class A Ordinary Shares held by the public represents
|
||
approximately 98.71% of the total issued Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company, which is
|
||
higher than the minimum prescribed percentage of Class A Ordinary Shares required to be held in
|
||
public hands of 10% under Rule 8.08(1) of the Listing Rules calculated based on the final Offer
|
||
Price of HK$139.00 per Offer Share, thereby satisfying the public float requirement under Rule
|
||
8.08(1) of the Listing Rules.
|
||
Each of the Cornerstone Investors has agreed to a lock-up period of six months following the
|
||
Listing Date. As such, Class A Ordinary Shares held by the Cornerstone Investors upon the Listing
|
||
shall not be counted towards the free float of the Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company at
|
||
the time of Listing. Based on the final Offer Price of HK$139.00 per Offer Share, the Company
|
||
satisfies the free float requirement under Rule 8.08A(2) of the Listing Rules.
|
||
The Directors confirm that, immediately following the completion of the Global Offering (after
|
||
taking into account the full exercise of the Offer Size Adjustment Option and before any exercise
|
||
of the Over-allotment Option), (i) no placee will, individually, be placed more than 10% of the
|
||
enlarged total issued Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company immediately after the Global
