DCM Ventures is seeking to sell all its remaining shares in Chinese short video platform Kuaisohu Technology to raise up to $479 million, a term sheet seen by Reuters showed on Thursday.
The Silicon Valley-based venture capital is offloading 91.66 million shares in Kuaishou with offer price ranging from HK$40.28 to HK$41.13 per share. The number of shares represent 2.1% of Kuaisou’s existing outstanding shares.
Morgan Stanley is the sole bookrunner of the trade. The deal is scheduled for Friday and to be settled on next Tuesday.
DCM and Kuaishou did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
DCM is an early investor and one of major shareholders of Chinese short video giant Kuaishou but it has been disposing Kuaishou shares in recent years.
The share price of Kuaishou has dropped over 20% this year amid slower revenue growth. It was up 4.9% on Thursday to close at HK$42.1.
