Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker Nio (NYSE: NIO) announced on December 14 that it intends to price an additional 68 million ADS at $39 per ADS and expects to raise $2.65 billion.

In addition, the issuer can also over-allot 10.2 million shares within 30 days. This means that Nio will raise a maximum amount of $3.05 billion.
