Conyers provided Cayman Islands legal advice to Bright Scholar Education Holdings Limited (“Bright Scholar Education”) in connection with its privatisation by way of merger and delisting of its American Depository Shares from the New York Stock Exchange.
On 16 December 2025, Bright Scholar Education announced the completion of its merger with Bright Education Mergersub Limited, a subsidiary of Excellence Education Investment Limited. This transaction, initially agreed upon on 13 October 2025, resulted in Bright Scholar Education becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Excellence Education Investment Limited and led to the delisting of its American Depository Shares from the New York Stock Exchange. The merger also involved the termination of Bright Scholar Education’s 2017 and 2024 share incentive plans, and any relevant award agreements entered into under such share incentive plans.
