INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT ON FORM 6-K

Uber Technologies, Inc. (“Uber”) has committed to an equity investment of US$100 million, in addition to its existing investment, in WeRide as part of the recently announced expanded cooperation. 

This investment is expected to be called by WeRide and completed by the second half of 2025, with closing subject to customary conditions, unless extended at WeRide’s option. Uber will invest at a price based on the volume-weighted average price of WeRide’s American Depositary Shares prior to the closing.

As previously announced (and attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report), WeRide is expanding its cooperation with Uber from the Middle East to an additional 15 cities around the world including Europe and beyond.
