The proposed share exchange ratio is 0.73 Huya ADS for each DouYu ADS. Based on Friday’s close prices, the share exchange ratio values DouYu at $18.83 per ADS, a 35% premium to the Friday close price. On completion, the shareholders of Huya and DouYu will each hold 50% shares of the combined company on a fully diluted basis, respectively. <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/tencent-holdings-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:26:1" rel="noopener">Tencent Holdings (700 HK)</a>'s voting power in the combined company will be 67.5% on a fully-diluted basis.<div class="content-highlight">With Tencent owning more than two-thirds of the votes in Huya, the approval of the merger largely comes down to securing the backing of DouYu shareholders. As DouYu is incorporated in the Cayman Islands, for the merger to succeed, DouYu shareholders representing two-thirds of shares present and voting need to approve the deal. Tencent collectively has the support of 54.6% of DouYu’s voting rights.
