Each ADS represents three class A ordinary shares.
KE Holdings said the Covid-19 pandemic had hurt its business, as agents were forced to stay at home and stores across China were closed, but business recovered during the second quarter, leading to a 39 per cent rise in revenue for the first half of the year. "People are increasingly demanding higher standards of living condition, and the demand is further strengthened by the Covid-19 pandemic," its founder Zuo Hui said in a filing.
The IPO comes at a time when Nasdaq has tightened its listings rules with an eye on curbing IPOs of Chinese companies that are closely held by insiders and are not transparent about their accounting.
