This Prospectus supplement No. 2 is being filed to update and supplement the information contained in the prospectus dated May 17, 2024 (as supplemented from time to time, the “Prospectus”) that forms a part of our Registration Statement on Form F-1, as amended and supplemented, including by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 thereto (File No. 333-274806) (the “Registration Statement”) with the information contained in the Current Report on Form 6-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 29, 2024 (the “Form 6-K”). Accordingly, we have attached the Form 6-K to this Prospectus Supplement No. 2.

The Public Warrants and the Sponsor Warrants are collectively referred herein as the “Warrants.”

 

The Prospectus and this Prospectus Supplement No. 2 also relate to the potential offer and sale from time to time by the selling securityholders named in the Prospectus or their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees or other successors in interest (that receive any of the securities as a gift, distribution, or other non-sale related transfer) (collectively, the “Selling Securityholders”) of up to (A) 59,328,073 Class A Ordinary Shares, which include (1) an aggregate of 49,692,232 Class A Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by certain former shareholders of Cheche Technology Inc. (“CCT”), which, without accounting for any share transfer between the then shareholders of CCT, were acquired by Tank Stone Ltd. at a price of approximately RMB0.0419 per share, CISG Holdings Ltd. at a price of approximately $6.4886 per share, CICW Holdings Limited at a price of approximately RMB1.3263 per share, Dongprosper Holdings Limited at a price of approximately RMB0.0347 per share, Ruiyuan Technology Holdings Limited at a price of approximately RMB6.7111 per share, Beijing Zhongyuan Ronghui Investment Center, LLP and Ningbo Shiwei Enterprise Management Partnership (L.P.) at a price of approximately RMB5.4054 per share (in Series A investment) and RMB21.1516 per share (at Series B investment), respectively, Lian Jia Enterprises Limited and EAGLE ROVER LTD. at a price of approximately RMB21.1516, respectively, United Gemini Holdings Limited at a price of approximately RMB46.7232 per share, entities affiliated with Yong He and entities affiliated with Tencent Holding Limited at a price of approximately $7.1608 per share, respectively; (2) 4,975,280 Class A Ordinary Shares issued to the Sponsor and certain former directors of Prime Impact (the “Sponsor Shares”) on the Closing Date, of which (i) 4,341,052 Sponsor Shares were exchanged from 4,341,052 Class B ordinary shares of Prime Impact purchased by the Sponsor at a price of approximately $0.003 per share, and (ii) 634,228 Sponsor Shares were acquired by the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per share; (3) 2,860,561 Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Sponsor Warrants; (4) 1,800,000 Class A Ordinary Shares issued to certain investors pursuant to certain private placement transactions on the September 11, 2023 (the “PIPE Shares”), at a price of $10.00 per share; and (B) 2,860,561 Sponsor Warrants. We are registering these securities to satisfy certain registration rights we have granted to permit the Selling Securityholders to sell securities from time to time, in amounts, at prices and on terms determined at the time of offering. The securities registered in the Registration Statement are identified in the Prospectus as the Registered Securities.

 

This Prospectus Supplement No. 2 updates and supplements the information in the Prospectus and is not complete without, and may not be delivered or utilized except in combination with, the Prospectus, including any amendments or supplements thereto. This Prospectus Supplement No. 2 should be read in conjunction with the Prospectus and if there is any inconsistency between the information in the Prospectus and this Prospectus Supplement No. 2, you should rely on the information in this Prospectus Supplement No. 2.

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Registered Securities by the Selling Securityholders. We will receive proceeds from the exercise of Warrants if the Warrants are exercised for cash. The likelihood that warrant holders will exercise the Warrants and any cash proceeds that we would receive is dependent upon the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares. Based on the closing price of our Class A Ordinary Shares at $0.8133 on August 28, 2024, which is less than the exercise price of $11.50 per share pursuant to the terms of the Warrants, we believe holders of the Warrants will be unlikely to exercise their Warrants, and we are unlikely to receive proceeds from the exercise of Warrants. We will pay the expenses associated with registering the sales by the Selling Securityholders, as described in more details in the section titled “Use of Proceeds” appearing elsewhere in the Prospectus.

 

Our Class A Ordinary Shares and our warrants to purchase Class A Ordinary Shares are listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), under the trading symbols “CCG” and “CCGWW,” respectively. On August 28, 2024, the closing price for our Class A Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq was $0.8133, and the closing price for our warrants on Nasdaq was $0.0404.

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 16 of the Prospectus and other risk factors contained in the documents incorporated by reference herein for a discussion of information that should be considered in connection with an investment in our securities.

 

Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 

The date of this prospectus supplement is August 29, 2024

Exhibit 99.1

 

Cheche Group Reports Second Quarter 2024 Unaudited Financial Results

 

BEIJING, China – August 29, 2024 – Cheche Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CCG) (“Cheche”, the “Company” or “we”), China’s leading auto insurance technology platform, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

 

Financial and Operational Highlights

 

Net revenues for the quarter increased 2.5% year-over-year to RMB851.8 million (US$117.2 million), while net revenues for the first half of 2024 increased 1.8% over the comparable prior year period to RMB1.6 billion (US$225.5million).

 

Net loss for the quarter decreased 16.4% year-over-year to RMB23.6 million (US$3.2 million), while net loss for the first half of 2024 decreased 24.0% to RMB54.9 million (US$7.6 million) over the prior-year period.

 

Adjusted net loss (1) for the quarter decreased 38.8%, from RMB20.0 million in the prior-year period to RMB12.2 million (US$1.7 million), while adjusted net loss for the first half of 2024 decreased 12.0% to RMB24.4 million (US$3.4 million), compared to the prior-year period.

 

Total written premiums placed for the quarter was RMB5.6 billion (US$0.78 billion) and remained stable as compared to the prior-year period, while total written premiums placed for the first half of 2024 increased 4.2% over the comparable prior-year period to RMB11.1 billion (US$ 1.5 billion).

 

Total number of policies issued for the quarter increased 11.1% to 4.0 million from 3.6 million for the prior-year quarter, while the total number of policies issued over the first half of 2024 increased 15.9% over the comparable prior-year period to 8.0 million.

 

Partnerships with New Energy Vehicle (NEV) companies (2) numbered 12 in the quarter and led to 225,000 policies embedded in new NEV deliveries with corresponding written premium of RMB662.6 million (US$91.2 million), representing an increase of 147.3% and 99.6% compared to the prior-year quarter, respectively. Policies embedded in the new NEV deliveries and corresponding written premium for the first half of 2024 reached 344,000 and RMB1.0 billion (US$142.1 million), respectively, representing growth of 140.6% for policies embedded and 91.3% for written premium compared to the prior-year period.

 

(1)Adjusted Net Loss is a non-GAAP measure. For further information on the non-GAAP financial measures presented above, see the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below.

 

(2)The rapid growth of the NEV market has created new opportunities for auto insurance offerings and propelled revenue growth of auto insurance providers. Cheche started to collaborate with NEV manufacturers in 2022, and such collaborations yielded considerable results in 2023. Cheche believes that the further growth of the NEV market and the introduction of innovative NEV auto insurance solutions will further fuel the revenue contribution of its partnership with NEV manufacturers. The management of Cheche utilizes the number of partnerships with NEV manufacturers, the number of insurance policies embedded in the new NEV deliveries, and the amount of corresponding premium generated from such embedded policies as the main operating metrics to evaluate its business and presents such operating metrics for investors to better understand and evaluate Cheche’s business.

 

 

 

 

Management Comments

 

“Cheche reported positively-trending bottom-line results and continues to see revenue growth driven in part by increased engagement with our ever-evolving technology platform,” said Lei Zhang, Founder, CEO, and Chairman of Cheche. “As we continue to gain scale as the technology partner for NEVs and our visibility increases with traditional vehicle manufacturers, our market influence and ability to generate efficiencies continues to improve.

 

“The first two months of this quarter have seen retail sales of NEVs rebound to the second highest sales on record in China and the NEV penetration rate reach a new high in June as more Chinese consumers adopt electric vehicles. Through our new and ongoing partnerships with Volkswagen (Anhui), Xiaomi Group, and other NEV manufacturers we’re able to effectively meet the ever-changing, intelligent insurance needs of car owners.”

 

Unaudited Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

 

Net Revenues were RMB851.8 million (US$117.2 million), representing a 2.5% year-over-year increase from the prior-year quarter. The growth was driven by the increase in insurance transactions conducted through Cheche’s platform by referral partners and third-party platform partners.

 

Cost of Revenues increased 1.9% year-over-year to RMB820.9 million (US$113.0 million) from the prior-year quarter, which was consistent with the growth of business volume and net revenues.

 

Selling and Marketing Expenses increased 14.2% to RMB19.3 million (US$2.7 million) from RMB16.9 million in the prior-year quarter, mainly due to the increase in staff cost, marketing, and share-based compensation expenses. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, selling and marketing expenses were RMB18.3 (US$2.5 million) million, an increase of 12.2% compared to the prior-year quarter.

 

General and Administrative Expenses increased 41.8% to RMB27.7 million (US$3.8 million) from RMB19.6 million for the prior-year quarter, mainly due to the increase of share-based compensation and dispute resolution expenses. Excluding share-based compensation and dispute resolution expenses and listing-related professional service fees, general and administrative expenses increased by RMB2.4 million from RMB14.7 million to RMB17.1 million (US$2.3 million), primarily as a result of post-listing professional service fees of RMB4.1 million.

 

Research and Development Expenses decreased 21.1% to RMB9.1 million (US$1.3 million) from RMB11.6 million in the prior-year quarter. The change was mainly driven by decreased staff costs. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, research and development expenses decreased 24.7% to RMB8.6 million (US$1.2 million) from RMB11.5 million in the prior-year quarter.

 

Total Cost and Operating Expenses increased 2.7% to RMB877.1 million (US$120.7 million) from RMB854.1 million in the prior-year quarter, mainly due to the increase in cost of revenues and share-based compensation expenses. Excluding share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets related to acquisition, listing-related professional service fees and dispute resolution expenses, total cost and operating expenses increased 1.9% from the prior-year quarter.

 

Net Loss decreased 16.4% to RMB23.6 million (US$3.2 million) over the prior-year quarter. Excluding non-GAAP expenses, the Adjusted Net Loss decreased 38.8% to RMB12.2 million (US$1.7 million) from RMB20.0 million for the prior-year quarter.

The partnership names Cheche as the core partner of BAIC Group, providing digital insurance solutions for brands. The opportunity is already off to a strong start with ARCFOX’s service system being launched as a direct-sales channel, the system for Beijing Automotive, expected to cover 200 dealerships by the end of the year, in the process of being rolled out, and Beijing Hyundai’s planned service system expected to cover 100 dealerships at year end.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Cheche has provided non-GAAP financial measures in this press release that have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States.

 

Cheche uses adjusted cost of revenues, adjusted selling and marketing expenses, adjusted general and administrative expenses, adjusted research and development expenses, adjusted total cost and operating expenses, adjusted net loss, and adjusted net loss per share, which are non-GAAP financial measures, in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes.

 

Cheche defines adjusted total cost and operating expenses as total cost and operating expenses adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation, listing-related professional service fees and dispute resolution expenses, which represents expenses incurred by Cheche in connection with settling a dispute with a certain security holder. Cheche defines adjusted net loss as net loss adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, and changes in fair value of amounts due to a related party related to the acquisition of Cheche Insurance Sales & Services Co., Ltd. (previously named Fanhua Times Sales and Service Co., Ltd), change in fair value of warrants, listing related professional service fees and dispute resolution expenses. Adjusted net loss per share, basic and diluted, is calculated as adjusted net loss divided by weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding.

 

Cheche believes that these non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the impact of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets related to acquisition, and change in fair value of amounts due to a related party related to the acquisition of Cheche Insurance Sales & Services Co., Ltd. (previously named Fanhua Times Sales and Service Co., Ltd), change in fair value of warrants, and listing related professional service fees and dispute resolution expenses. Cheche believes that such non-GAAP financial measures also provide useful information about its operating results, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision-making.

 

5

 

 

The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. They should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternatives to net loss or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of Cheche’s operating performance. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to the Company’s data. Cheche encourages investors and others to review the Company’s financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. Investors are encouraged to compare the historical non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Cheche mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating its performance.
