HONG KONG, March 5 (Reuters) - Chinese drone maker EHang is planning a U.S.
initial public offering (IPO) this year, according to two people with direct knowledge of the matter, with one saying it could raise between $400 and $500 million.

Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse are working on the offering, the people said. Another person said the deal was unlikely to be as large as $500 million.

Credit Suisse declined to comment.

EHang and Morgan Stanley did not reply to requests for comment.

Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Guangzhou province, EHang first made headlines in 2016 when it unveiled a passenger drone concept which it said would retail at up to $300,000.

Early last year it said it had completed tests for the vehicle which is capable of carrying one person at speeds of up to 130 kph.

In May EHang broke the Guinness World Record for most drones flown simultaneously in a 13-minute flight that involved 1,374 drones spread over a kilometre.

China has championed rapid development in its tech sector in a bid to build world-leading firms and reduce dependence on foreign products, including semiconductors, robots and drones.

Global spending on drones was estimated to reach $9 billion last year and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 30 percent in the next five years, according to research firm IDC, which estimates more than half of that spending will be on drones for commercial use.

EHang specializes in aerial landscaping.

In consumer drones it is dwarfed by fellow Chinese drone maker SZ DJI Technology Co Ltd, which is the world's largest maker of non-military drones and plans to list in either Hong Kong or mainland China, people familiar with the matter told Reuters last year.

EHang joins a host of other Chinese start-ups seeking to go public in the United States, such as Tencent-backed live game-streaming platform Douyu, which has filed confidentially, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.

Luckin Coffee, a Chinese rival to Starbucks, has also tapped three banks for a U.S.

IPO which could value it at around $3 billion.

Chinese companies raised $9.1 billion in U.S. IPOs last year, the highest since 2014 when e-commerce giant Alibaba went public with a $25 billion IPO, according to Refinitiv data.

Obiang had the backing of a coalition of 15 parties

Equatorial Guinea's ruler Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo has been re-elected to a sixth term as president with 94.9 percent of the votes cast, election officials announced on Saturday, putting turnout for the vote at 98 percent.
Obiang, 80, who seized power in a 1979 coup, is the longest-ruling head of state in the world excluding monarchs.

He has never officially been re-elected with less than 93 percent of the vote.
Electoral commission head Faustino Ndong Esono Eyang confirmed that Obiang would serve another seven years in the top job. The commission said the turnout rate for the election was 98 percent.
The landslide result was widely expected in the oil-rich and authoritarian Central African nation, where the political opposition is extremely weak.
Obiang had the backing of a coalition of 15 parties, including his all-powerful ruling Democratic Party of Equatorial Guinea (PDGE).
The PDGE, which was the country's only legal political movement until 1991, also swept all seats in the National Assembly and the Senate.
The percentages won by the opposition candidates, Andres Esono Ondo of the Convergence for Social Democracy and Buenaventura Monsuy Asumu of the Social Democratic Coalition Party, were not announced, with both garnering just a few thousand votes.
"The definitive results of the vote find in our favour once more," Obiang's son, Vice President Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, wrote on Twitter.
"We will continue to prove that we are a great political party."
- 'History repeating itself' -
Obiang has ruled Equatorial Guinea for more than 43 years after ousting his uncle, Francisco Macias Nguema, who was then executed by a firing squad.
He has suppressed dissent and seen off a string of attempted coups in the Spanish-speaking nation.
Security forces arrested opposition figures in the weeks before the result, with the regime saying it was thwarting a "conspiracy" to commit attacks in the capital Malabo and economic hub Bata.
The authorities also closed the country's land borders with neighbouring Gabon and Cameroon before campaigning began, saying it was foiling infiltrators from disrupting the vote.

The landslide result was widely expected in the oil-rich and authoritarian Central African nation

Obiang is just the second president in Equatorial Guinea's history since it gained independence in 1968 from Spain, its colonial power for nearly two centuries.
"Equatorial Guinea's history has been repeating itself for 43 years and the political vision established by the government will continue after this election," Justo Bolekia, a professor at Spain's University of Salamanca, told AFP.
"It was predictable, including for the opposition. We were even expecting a score closer to 98 percent," he added.
The discovery of offshore oil in the mid-1990s turned Equatorial Guinea into sub-Saharan Africa's third-richest country in terms of per-capita income in 2021.
But the wealth has remained concentrated in the hands of a few families.
In 2006, when the oil boom was in full swing, more than three quarters of the population lived in extreme poverty, or on less than $1.90 a day, according to the World Bank.

There have been no new figures since.
The country also has a reputation for graft, ranking 172 out of 180 nations on Transparency International's 2021 Corruption Perceptions Index.

NEW YORK, Feb 16 (Reuters) - Shares of drone manufacturer EHang Holdings Ltd plunged on Tuesday after an investment research firm said it had shorted the stock and questioned the accuracy of what the Chinese company has said about its business.

Shares of Guangzhou, China-based EHang closed down 62.7% at $46.30 a share on Nasdaq.

Wolfpack Research, which specializes in short selling, or betting that shares will fall, said EHang is "an elaborate stock promotion" and that the producer of unmanned aerial vehicle technology has lied about its products, manufacturing, revenues and partnerships.

There was no immediate response to an e-mail sent to EHang's U.S.

investor relations representative seeking comment.

EHang's stock soared from around $13 a share in early December to $124.09 on Friday. The stock made its U.S. debut in December 2019 after an initial public offering priced at $12.50 share. (Reporting by Herbert Lash; Editing by Dan Grebler and David Gregorio)

Chinese drone maker unveils human-carrying drone

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Chinese drone maker Ehang Inc.

on Wednesday unveiled what it calls the world's first drone capable of carrying a human passenger.

The Guangzhou, China-based company pulled the cloth off the Ehang 184 at the Las Vegas Convention Center during the CES gadget show.
In a company video showing it flying, it looks like a small helicopter but with four doubled propellers spinning parallel to the ground like other drones.

The electric-powered drone can be fully charged in two hours, carry up to 220 pounds and fly for 23 minutes at sea level, according to Ehang.

The cabin fits one person and a small backpack and even has air conditioning and a reading light. With propellers folded up, it's designed to fit in a single parking spot.

After setting a flight plan, passengers only need to give two commands, "take off" and "land," each controlled by a single click on a Microsoft Surface tablet, the company said.

It is designed to fly about 1,000 to 1,650 feet off the ground with a maximum altitude of 11,500 feet and top speed of 63 miles per hour.

U.S.

authorities are just starting to lay out guidelines for drone use, and a human-passenger drone seems certain to face strict scrutiny.

Federal Aviation Administration administrator Michael Huerta was at CES but could not immediately be reached for comment through a spokesman.

Ehang co-founder and Chief Financial Officer Shang Hsiao said the company hopes to sell the device for $200,000 to $300,000 beginning this year but acknowledged it occupies a legal "grey area."

"The whole world never had something like this before," he said.

A passenger would have no controls as a backup, he said.

In the event of a problem the company plans a remote control center that would take over the vehicle and ensure it lands safely, he said.

Chief Marketing Officer Derrick Xiong said the vehicle has been flown more than 100 times at low altitudes in a forested area in Guangzhou, including several times with a person inside.

One thing that makes quad-copters safer than helicopters are its numerous propellers, Xiong said.

Even if three of the four arms have their six propellers disabled, the final arm's working propellers can ensure a rough landing by spiraling toward the ground, he said.

The company, which also makes smaller drones, said in August it had raised $42 million in capital from various investors including GP Capital, GGV Capital, ZhenFund and others, following $10 million in capital raised the previous year.

By Alun John and Julie Zhu

HONG KONG, Aug 27 (Reuters) - Three of the world's largest bitcoin mining equipment makers plan to raise billions of dollars with initial public offerings in Hong Kong, even as other companies report plunging demand for the chips needed to make bitcoin and a halving in the price of the cryptocurrency.

Soaring cryptocurrency prices last year triggered a boom in demand for specialist mining chips and in developing "mines" - facilities with thousands of machines that create the coins by solving complex mathematical puzzles.

Yet the U.S.

chipmaker Nvidia Corp said this month that second-quarter sales to crypto miners totalled just $18 million, compared with $100 million expected by analysts.

Nvidia's chief financial officer, Colette Kress, said she anticipated "no contribution" to revenues from cryptocurrency in coming months.

That has raised concerns about the upcoming Hong Kong listings by three Chinese manufacturers of bitcoin mining equipment, Bitmain, Canaan Inc and Ebang International Holdings.

The companies all design high-end computer chips intended for mining cryptocurrencies, particularly bitcoin, and sell mining equipment containing the chips.

In addition, Bitmain mines cryptocurrencies on its own account. Companies like Nvidia also sell specialty chips used for mining.

"The marked decline in the price of bitcoin since the start of the year is likely to weigh on investors' interest in these companies," said Benjamin Quinlan, chief executive of financial services consultancy Quinlan & Associates.

But, he added, "the fall in the price of bitcoin from its peaks has not been matched by an equivalent fall in the numbers of people mining it."

Bitcoin is currently trading at $6,699, down 64 percent from its December 2017 peak of $18,690.

Daily mining revenue was 77 percent lower than in December, according to Blockchain.info, a data analytics and wallet provider.

"As the bitcoin price decreases, so does the profitability of mining itself, which decreases demand for mining chips and miners," said Wang Leilei, a consultant at financial services consultancy Kapronssia.

It is not just the price of bitcoin that is causing worries.

People close to the IPOs said regulatory scrutiny and a patchy performance by Hong Kong offerings this year were additional concerns.

Julian Hosp, president of TenX, a Singapore-based blockchain firm, has also warned that if coins switch mining algorithms, then the machines designed to mine them would become useless.

"I would be quite wary of investing in these miners," Hosp said, referring to the equipment makers.

"They are not long-term businesses and I think they've had their uptrend for now."

READYING IPO SALES PITCHES

Canaan and Ebang filed plans in May and June respectively for floats in Hong Kong, while Bitmain is expected to file its plans next month for an IPO in which it aims to raise at least $3 billion, sources close to the deal said.

Cryptocurrency trading is a global activity, but Chinese chipmakers have led the way in developing the most efficient means to mine the coins.

Bitmain had three quarters of the market for the specialist chips last year, followed by Canaan on 14 percent, according to estimates by analysts at Bernstein.

Ebang is aiming to raise up to $1 billion, according to sources, while Canaan is targeting at least $400 million - down from a figure of up to $2 billion touted earlier this year by people involved in the deal.

While EBang is expected to face Hong Kong's listing committee in September - a key approval needed for marketing the IPO - Canaan's offering is taking longer.

Two sources familiar with Canaan's situation said the company had not yet fixed a date for a committee appearance, as it worked on clearing up questions from HKEX officials regarding due diligence done on its prospectus.

A source close to Bitmain'S IPO said the company was aware about the potential for close regulatory scrutiny.

Bitmain, Canaan and Ebang didn't respond to requests for comment.

A Hong Kong exchange spokesman declined to comment.

The bitcoin price slump is leading miners to consider their IPO sales pitches carefully, with many involved expecting them to push the potential of other uses for their chips.

Both Canaan and Ebang highlight the potential for their technology to be applied to other cutting-edge sectors.

That includes broader development of blockchain applications - the ledger system that underpins bitcoin and which is being widely explored by the financial industry - as well as artificial intelligence tools and the forthcoming build-out of 5G telecoms networks both within and outside China.

"The mainland government encourages chip design and production, as that is a segment of China's market that has been suffering," said Kapronssia's Wang.

"Bitmain and Canaan chips could also be used for non-bitcoin applications, like blockchain in general, big data, cybersecurity or AI, which is an advantage for the companies."

Prince Harry tonight said he always felt different from the rest of his family and that Diana felt the same, as he opened up about his upbringing in a 'broken home' and how he had been 'saved' by Meghan.
The Duke of Sussex sat down with controversial 'toxic trauma' expert Dr Gabor Maté for a 90-minute conversation that saw him paint a raw and vivid picture of the pain he continues to suffer as a result of losing his mother aged 12. 
In the £17-per-ticket livestream event that included a free copy of his memoir, Spare, Harry discussed his drug use, his views on the war on Afghanistan, and how he doesn't see himself as a 'victim'.

Yet he failed to mention his brother William once.
Describing his struggles to find his 'authentic true self' while growing up, he said: 'I felt slightly different to the rest of my family. I felt strange being in this container, and I know that my mum felt the same so it makes sense to me.'
The royal - who Dr Maté publicly diagnosed with attention deficit disorder (ADD) - said he constantly hugged his children, Archie and Lilibet, to 'shower them with affection' - something he doesn't believe he received from his father, King Charles.

He also spoke of the importance of parents not arguing in front of children, saying: 'Do not have those disagreements, arguments, whatever it is… luckily my wife and I don't have those. 
'The idea of having those in front of the kids?

I assume that my parents probably had a lot of those [rows] in front of me, maybe that's where it comes from… that's not a good idea.' 
In a wide-ranging discussion that contained fresh digs at the Royal Family in the run-up to King Charles' coronation in May, the Duke - 

Said he was a good candidate for the army because 'they recruit from broken homes'; 

Added that 'a lot of us...' [his fellow soldiers] 'didn't necessarily agree or disagree' with the West's invasion of Afghanistan; 

Described his ongoing emotional turmoil, saying: 'Since age 12 apart from being in a state of shock I was in fight or flight'; 

Said therapy helped him to 'break free and live' from his 'dysfunctional' family and he felt 'incredibly free' after Megxit;

Was told by Dr Maté that he has Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), prompting the prince to joke 'a free session, great'; 

Revealed using cannabis had 'really helped' him mentally but cocaine 'did nothing' for him;

Said using the psychedelic drug ayahuasca 'changed me' and 'helped me deal with the traumas and pains of the past';

Boasted about the favourable Amazon reviews for his book, saying people had been writing 'essays' praising it; 

Asked about the concept of service to others, said: 'It's a theme of the book because it's a theme of my life', adding: 'sharing is an act of service';

Told how he had experienced 'burnout' after thinking 'I just need to help everybody'; 

Said his 'exceptional' wife Meghan had helped him avoid being 'stuck' in the Royal Family; 

Dr Maté began the conversation by discussing the reaction to the book and how critics had accused him of wallowing in his own sense of victimhood. 
'I definitely don't see myself as a victim,' Harry replied.
'To be able to share the things of my life that I think is important feels good - to me it feels like an act of service.
'If we can encourage other people to be vulnerable themselves and be vulnerable to their family the world will be a better place.'
Harry's ghost-written tell-all autobiography laid bare his frustrations with his family.
He claimed his brother William, now the Prince of Wales, had knocked him to the floor at Harry's then home Nottingham Cottage after calling the Duchess of Sussex 'difficult', 'rude' and 'abrasive'.

Prince Harry has said 'a lot of' British soldiers 'didn't necessarily agree or disagree' with the invasion of Afghanistan by western countries, but they 'did what they were told'.
The Duke of Sussex said some British soldiers were not 'necessarily' supportive of military efforts in Afghanistan.
During a 90-minute livestreamed Q&A conversation, author Dr Gabor Maté said he did not align with the West during the conflict.
In a wide-ranging discussion that touched on his drug use, his wife Meghan Markle 'saving' him and the justification for the war in Afghanistan, Harry told the academic he did not see himself as a 'victim' or want sympathy.
It comes after he was  in his memoir Spare, released earlier this year.

The Duke of Sussex sat down with controversial author Gabor Maté for a livestreamed conversation and Q&A on Saturday

Prince Harry sat down with the controversial trauma guru, who is in favour of drug legalisation and previously backed Jeremy Corbyn amid allegations of anti-Semitism, to discuss his time in therapy and impact of trauma upon his life.
The conversation with Maté, a 79-year-old Hungarian Canadian and survivor of the Holocaust, was billed as covering 'the importance of personal healing'.
Discussing the Afghanistan conflict, Harry said: 'One of the reasons why so many people in the United Kingdom were not supportive of our troops was because they assumed that everybody that was serving was for the war.
'But no, once you sign up, you do what you're told to do.
'So there was a lot of us that didn't necessarily agree or disagree, but you were doing what you were trained to do, you were doing what you were sent to do.'
The Duke of Sussex claimed in Spare to have killed 25 enemy fighters during two tours of Afghanistan - calling his victims 'chess pieces' rather than people as a means of bearing the emotional strain of taking dozens of lives.
The prince was first deployed to Helmand province as a forward air controller in 2007, but his first tour of duty was cut short when an Australian magazine broke a media embargo by mistake. 
He returned in 2012 with the Ministry of Defence publicising his second deployment on the understanding that the media would allow him to get on with the job at hand.

After he learnt to fly Apache helicopters, Harry was deployed to Camp Bastion in southern Afghanistan in 2012 where he stayed for 20 weeks.
During his 2012 tour, Harry helped provide helicopter support to the International Security Assistance Force and Afghan forces operating throughout Helmand province.
Based out of Camp Bastion, 662 Squadron Army Air Corps, to which he belonged, flew more than a hundred deliberate missions over 2,500 flying hours, providing surveillance, deterrence and, when required, close combat attack capabilities as well as escort duties for other aircraft.
Captain Wales qualified as a co-pilot gunner in February 2012.
He was posted to 3 Regiment Army Air Corps, part of 16 Air Assault Brigade, to gain further flying experience and to operate the Apache on a number of exercises before deploying to Afghanistan in September 2012.
Harry trained to fly in the front seat as the mission or aircraft commander but the majority of the time operated the Apache's sights, sensors and weapons systems.
Upon his return to the UK, he was hailed by his colleagues and superiors as being 'on top of his game' during the tour.
In a wide-ranging discussion that touched on his drug use, his wife Meghan Markle 'saving' him and his upbringing, Harry today said he did not see himself as a 'victim' or want sympathy.

He revealed he has been diagnosed with PTSD, saying he has been living in 'fight or flight mode' since he was 12.
The Duke of Sussex told the author he wished he had had the resource of therapy far sooner in his life.
Mental health and therapy is a topic the prince has often spoken about in recent years, including in his and Meghan Markle's Netflix documentary, Harry and Meghan.
In the series, he demonstrated a technique used by his therapist called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), which has shown to be effective in treating patients with PTSD.
The technique sees an individual work through and reprocess their trauma in a safe space by giving them a stimulating activity to do at the same time, such as eye movements or tapping on alternate sides of the body.
During today's interview, the prince compared himself to Diana in feeling 'different' from the rest of his family and described how he constantly hugs Archie and Lilibet to ensure they feel affection - something he doesn't believe he received from his own father, King Charles.
The royal said that sharing his personal troubles in public was an 'act of service' for others and spoke how having therapy had helped 'burst a bubble' he felt he was living in.
He discussed the reaction to his memoir, saying: 'Sometimes I'm surprised and sometimes I'm not.
'It is the same group of people who react the same way when someone in a position like myself discusses trauma.
'As we've already discussed, I'm not a victim in this.

The more they criticise, the more I feel the need to share.
'I found a way to be able to look around the criticisms and the abuse. What worries me is there are other people out there who see the reaction that I get that then encourages them or discourages them.'
