BEIJING, China — Luckin Coffee Inc. (“Luckin Coffee” or the “Company”), a pioneer of a technology-driven new retail model to provide coffee and other products of high quality, high affordability, and high convenience to customers, today announced the proposed offering (the “Notes Offering”) of US$400 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2025 (the “Notes”), subject to market and other conditions.

The Company intends to grant the initial purchasers in the Notes Offering an option to purchase up to an additional US$60 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes.

The Company plans to use the net proceeds from the Notes Offering for general corporate purposes, which may include store network expansion, unmanned retail initiative, capital expenditure, research and development, sales and marketing, business development, international expansion, working capital, and other general and administrative matters.

The Notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of Luckin Coffee. The Notes will mature on January 15, 2025, unless repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The Notes will be convertible into American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) (each currently representing eight Class A ordinary shares of the Company), at the option of the holders, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date.

The interest rate, initial conversion rate and other terms of the Notes will be determined at the time of pricing of the Notes.
