Centurium Capital has agreed to an investment through a private placement, totalling approximately $240 million in senior convertible preferred shares. Through a private placement, Joy Capital has agreed to an investment totalling roughly $10 million in senior preferred shares.
Both investment firms may be able to upsize on a pro-rata basis for an additional $150 million.
The closing of the deal is subject to several conditions, including implementing a restructuring of Luckin Coffee’s $460 million 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025.
