Ryde Group Ltd. closed a private offering of 37,250,000 Class A ordinary shares at $0.40 per share, raising $14.9 million in new capital on April 13 2026.
The proceeds will be used to accelerate the company’s electric‑vehicle (EV) rollout and fund other strategic initiatives. Ryde has already invested in Singapore Electric Vehicles Pte Ltd and holds a 40 % stake in Atoll Discovery Pte Ltd, an EV‑rental operator. The new funding supports the company’s goal of building a fleet of up to 400 EVs under its ‘Ryde 2.0’ transformation and a broader plan to deploy 1,200 EVs by 2027 as part of the RydeGreen initiative.
The capital injection also addresses a regulatory requirement: Ryde received a notice from NYSE American for falling below the $4.0 million stockholders’ equity threshold, with a compliance deadline of November 21 2026. The $14.9 million raise strengthens the equity base and provides the financial flexibility needed to meet that deadline.
The offering expands Ryde’s dual‑class share structure. Class A shares are publicly listed on NYSE American, while Class B shares carry higher voting power and are not publicly traded. The issuance of new Class A shares will dilute existing shareholders, but it preserves the concentrated control of key insiders through the Class B shares.
Ryde’s funding history shows a pattern of incremental capital raises: a $12 million IPO in March 2024, a $4.5 million public offering in September 2024, and a $14 million offering in December 2025. The latest round continues that trajectory and positions the company to compete with larger mobility players such as Uber, Blacklane, and Gozem while pursuing a differentiated EV‑centric strategy.
