About the Company

MOMENTA is a leading autonomous driving company, recognized for its technological advancements and commercial achievements.

According to CIC data, the company ranks first globally among all independent intelligent driving solution providers, based on both the sales volume of vehicles equipped with its urban NOA solution over the past twelve months ended February 28, 2026, and the cumulative number of mass-produced vehicle models equipped with its urban NOA solution as of the same date.

The group is focused on developing and commercializing intelligent driving technology to enhance safety and efficiency in the mobility and logistics sectors, primarily through mass-production vehicle solutions and scaled autonomous mobility applications.

It is currently in the early stages of deploying L3/L4 level autonomous driving solutions and is progressing towards higher levels of automation.

Cornerstone Investors

The company has entered into cornerstone investment agreements with a group of prominent investors.

These cornerstone investors, including GIC, Fidelity International, BlackRock, Mercedes-Benz Group, Oaktree, Jinxing, Franklin Templeton, Boyu, Gaoyi entities, CPIC, GF Fund Management, ChinaAMC (Hong Kong), Suzhou Mosu, and GigaDevice, have agreed to subscribe for shares at the offer price for a total amount of approximately US$376 million.

At the offer price of HK$295.60, the cornerstone investors will subscribe for a total of 9,960,100 offer shares.

This represents approximately 49.95% of the total offer shares under the global offering (assuming the over-allotment option is not exercised), 4.23% of the total issued share capital upon completion of the global offering (assuming no over-allotment and excluding any potential issuance under the pre-IPO share incentive scheme), and 4.18% (assuming full exercise of the over-allotment option and excluding any potential issuance under the pre-IPO share incentive scheme).

Use of Proceeds

Assuming an indicative offer price of HK$295.6 per share for both the Hong Kong public offering and the international offering, and that the over-allotment option is not exercised, the company estimates net proceeds from the global offering to be approximately HK$5.615 billion after deducting underwriting commissions and estimated expenses.

The group intends to use the net proceeds from the global offering as follows: approximately 60% will be used over the next five years to strengthen core R&D, including core algorithms, automated toolchains, and the Momenta core platform, to consolidate its leading position in technological innovation within the intelligent driving industry.

About 20% of the net proceeds will be allocated to accelerate the commercialization and scaling of its autonomous taxi service solutions.

Roughly 10% will be used to consolidate its mass-production vehicle solutions, support next-generation product development, and further deepen long-term cooperation with global original equipment manufacturers.
