NEW YORK, Sept 10 (Reuters) - DiDi Global, the

Chinese ride-hailing company, settled a class-action lawsuit

claiming it defrauded investors by concealing and disobeying a

Chinese government order to postpone its 2021 initial public

offering, a Wednesday court filing shows.

In a letter filed in Manhattan federal court, a lawyer for

the plaintiffs said both sides are negotiating the terms of a

stipulation of settlement, and expect to formally seek

settlement approval in mid-October. Terms were not disclosed.
