内容总结:

短视频社交平台TikTok近日完成其美国业务重组协议,由非中方投资集团持有新实体80%股权。根据协议,母公司字节跳动出售其在美国业务的大部分股权,仅保留新实体20%的股份。甲骨文、银湖资本及阿联酋国有投资机构MGX将各持有15%股权,其余投资者包括戴尔首席执行官旗下的投资公司。

此次重组在美国政府设定的最后期限前完成,避免了该应用在美运营面临的不确定性。TikTok首席执行官周受资上月通过内部备忘录向员工确认了投资协议,标志着持续数月的谈判取得实质性进展。

新成立的合资企业宣布将依托甲骨文云端技术保护美国用户数据,并基于美国用户数据重构推荐算法,同时负责本土内容审核。该实体承诺保持平台互联互通特性,确保用户仍可获取国际内容。TikTok官方声明特别指出,合资企业建立的安全保障体系将同步覆盖CapCut、Lemon8及其他在美运营的系列应用。

新实体将由七人董事会监督治理,其中多数成员为美方人士。董事会成员包括TikTok首席执行官周受资、银湖资本联合首席执行官埃贡·德班、甲骨文执行副总裁肯尼斯·格卢克及MGX首席战略安全官大卫·斯科特。

TikTok美国业务完成交易
非中方投资者将持股八成

TikTok已完成其美国业务的交易,其母公司字节跳动将大部分股权出售给一组非中方投资者。这笔交易在特朗普政府设定的最后期限前达成,此前美国政府要求该应用必须与字节跳动剥离,否则将在美国被禁用。交易完成后,字节跳动仅保留新实体20%的股权,而TikTok投资者将持有80%的股份。其中甲骨文、银湖资本及阿联酋国有投资机构MGX各持股15%,其他投资者还包括戴尔首席执行官旗下的投资公司。

交易条款于上月首次被披露。据报道,TikTok首席执行官周受资在内部备忘录中告知员工,TikTok与字节跳动已与一组投资者达成协议。这场持续数月的漫长拉锯战终于落下帷幕,确保了该应用在多年面临封禁风险后仍能继续在美国运营。

根据TikTok发布的公告,新成立的合资企业将通过甲骨文在美国的安全云环境保护美国用户数据,并基于美国用户数据重新训练TikTok算法,同时负责美国地区的内容审核。该实体承诺保持平台互联互通,用户仍可获取国际内容,创作者也将继续面向全球观众。TikTok表示:"合资企业提供的安全措施还将覆盖CapCut、Lemon8及在美国运营的其他应用和网站组合。"

新实体将由七名成员组成的董事会监督,其中多数为美方人士。董事会成员包括TikTok首席执行官周受资、银湖资本联合首席执行官埃贡·德班、甲骨文执行副总裁肯尼斯·格卢克以及MGX首席战略与安全官大卫·斯科特。

TikTok finalizes deal for its US entity
A group of non-Chinese investors will own 80 percent of it.
TikTok has finalized the deal for its US entity, with its parent company ByteDance selling majority of its stake to a group of non-Chinese investors. The deal was closed just before the Trump Administration’s latest deadline, banning the app in the US unless it was divested from ByteDance, which will only retain 20 percent of the new entity. TikTok’s investors will own 80 percent, with Oracle, Silver Lake and MGX, an Emirati-state owned investment firm, taking 15 percent each. Other investors include the investment firm of Dell’s CEO.
The terms of the deal were first leaked last month, after TikTok CEO Shou Chew reportedly told employees in a memo that TikTok and ByteDance had agreed to a group of investors. This ends a lengthy saga and months of slow progress as the agreement was being worked out, ensuring that the app will remain available in the US after years of being on the verge of a ban in the country.
According to TikTok’s announcement, the joint venture will protect American users’ data with Oracle's secure US cloud environment. It will also retrain TikTok’s algorithm on US users’ data and will be in charge of content moderation in the US. The entity promises interoperability, as well, promising that users will still get international content and, if they’re a creator, viewers. “The safeguards provided by the Joint Venture will also cover CapCut, and Lemon8 and a portfolio of other apps and websites in the US,” TikTok said.
The new entity will be overseen by a seven-member board of directors, most of whom are Americans. It includes, Shou Chew, the Chief Executive Officer of TikTok, Silver Lake co-CEO Egon Durban, Oracle Executive Vice President Kenneth Glueck and MGX Chief Strategy and Safety Officer David Scott.
