DDC Enterprise CEO Norma Chu Provides Corporate Update in Letter to Shareholders

Business Wire
DDC Enterprise, Ltd. (NYSEAM: DDC), (“DayDayCook,” “DDC,”
or the “Company”), a leading multi-brand Asian consumer food
company, today issued a corporate update in a Letter to
Shareholders from CEO Norma Chu.
Dear Valued Shareholders,
As your Founder, Chairwoman, and CEO, I write to you today with
clarity, conviction, and optimism about the future of DDC
Enterprise (NYSE: DDC). The past week has been one of unprecedented
volatility in global markets, and our stock was not immune to these
forces. Last Friday, amid a broad market selloff and trading below
$0.10 per share, the NYSE-American halted trading of our shares.
While such market movements are disconcerting, I want to assure you
that your Board and leadership team acted decisively to safeguard
shareholder value.
Proactive Measures to Strengthen Our Position; Reverse Stock
Split Over the weekend, the Board unanimously approved the
previously shareholder ratified 1:25 reverse stock split (the
“Reverse Split”). This action is designed to elevate our share
price to a more acceptable trading range. We anticipate that the
trading halt will be lifted and our shares will start trading
post-split on April 21, 2025 under the current symbol “DDC” but
with a new CUSIP.
Resilience Amid Macro Uncertainty Recent headlines about
tariffs and geopolitical tensions have created noise in the market.
Let me address this directly: DDC is well-insulated from these
risks. In 2024, 80% of our revenue came from China’s domestic
market where we produce and sell locally. Our growing export
business is focused on Southeast Asia—not the U.S.—further
shielding us from tariff-related disruptions. In addition, our
recently announced Joint Venture in China – with committed net
profit of USD 15 million over 5-years—will accelerate growth in our
core market. While the U.S. contributed 20% of revenue last year,
we expect the U.S. segment to remain a smaller, stable contributor
with a separate U.S. domestic supply chain as we also pursue growth
opportunities in our Asia markets.
2025: A Transformational Year Ahead The current share
price does not reflect DDC’s progress or potential. Consider our
recent milestones:
- Regained Full SEC and NYSE Compliance: A testament to
our operational and financial discipline.
- Leadership Commitment: I am personally increasing my
stake in DDC by subscribing to 10 million additional shares
(pre-reverse split), aligning my interests with yours.
- Strategic Innovation: We’ve developed a strategy to
diversify corporate reserves with crypto currency through an
innovative injection of Bitcoin at a favorable share price starting
at USD 0.50 (pre-25:1 reverse split). We plan to complete the
initial Bitcoin injection in the next 30 days and moving forward we
have a commitment for additional injections of Bitcoin at even more
favorable share prices as we grow.
- Growth Catalysts: Our profit generating majority-owned
JV, which we plan to complete in the coming weeks, should create
value in the coming years.
These initiatives strategies will enable us to deliver
shareholders value, even in an unstable macro environment.
More Information on the Reverse Split
The shareholders of the Company approved the Reverse Split at
the Company’s Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders on
November 29, 2024. In connection with approving the Reverse Split,
the Company’s shareholders granted authority to the Company’s Board
of Directors (the “Board”) to determine, at its discretion, a ratio
within the range of no split to 1-for-25, at which to effectuate
the Reverse Split. The Reverse Split was approved by the Board on
April 4, 2025.
As a result of the Reverse Split, every 25 pre-split Class A
Ordinary Shares outstanding will automatically combine into one new
Class A Ordinary Share without any action on the part of the
holders and with a change in the par value per share from $0.016 to
$0.40. The Reverse Split will proportionately reduce the number of
Class A Ordinary Shares available for issuance under the Company’s
incentive compensation plan and proportionately reduce the number
of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion
of stock options, warrants, and restricted stock units outstanding
immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Reverse Split.
The Reverse Split reduces the number of the Company’s
outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares from approximately 79 million
pre-Reverse Split shares to approximately 3.2 million post-Reverse
Split shares. Pursuant to the prior shareholder approval, no
fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Split.
Fractional shares that would have resulted from the Reverse Split
will be cancelled and returned to the pool of authorized but
unissued shares.
No action is required by the shareholders as the Class A
Ordinary Shares are held in electronic book-entry form which will
be adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split. Additional information
about the Reverse Split can be found in the Company’s Form 6-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 31,
2024, a copy of which is available at www.sec.gov.
A Final Note of Confidence Market fluctuations often
obscure fundamentals. Today, DDC is stronger operationally,
financially, and strategically than at any point in our history.
Our China-centric model, fortified by strong local demand and
regional exports, offers stability and growth in uncertain times.
While I cannot dictate market sentiment, I urge you to focus on our
execution: we are controlling what we can, with urgency and
precision.
Thank you for your trust. My team and I are relentlessly focused
on ensuring that 2025 becomes a landmark year for DDC—and for you,
our shareholders.
