Group 2: Market Impact and Financial Losses - Zeekr's rapid delisting from the U.S. market occurred just 19 months after its IPO, resulting in a direct loss of approximately 3.5 billion yuan for Geely, which raised concerns about the company's financial health and strategic decisions [7][8]. - The IPO raised a total of 3.62 billion yuan, but after accounting for underwriting fees and other costs, the net external funding was only about 1.496 billion yuan [8]. - Geely's total cash outlay for the privatization was around 24 billion yuan, with a significant portion of shareholders opting for cash payouts, leading to a direct cash loss of about 5 billion yuan [8].
