SINGAPORE, SG / ACCESS Newswire / September 18, 2026 / Ryde Group Ltd (NYSE American:RYDE) (the "Company") today provides the following update regarding a proceeding in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands and a class action filed against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
1. A shareholder has presented a petition in respect of the Company in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands concerning certain corporate governance and share issuance matters. The principal relief sought is an order requiring the purchase of the shareholder's remaining shares at fair value, with the winding up of the Company sought in the alternative.
The proceedings remain at an early stage and no findings have been made by the Court on the substantive allegations. No official or provisional liquidator has been appointed, the directors remain in control of the Company, and the proceedings have not affected the Company's operations or its ability to conduct business in the ordinary course.
2. Separately, a putative securities class action has been filed against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of purchasers of the Company's securities between March 6, 2024 and September 11, 2024, with a lead plaintiff deadline of November 9, 2026. The Company intends to engage litigation counsel and actively defend the action.
The Company does not presently believe that the Cayman Islands proceedings are material to the Company and will reassess this position, and make such further disclosure as may be appropriate, if circumstances materially change.
This update is being provided voluntarily in advance of the Company's extraordinary general meeting on September 29, 2026 so that shareholders have current information regarding these matters.
