Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On May 23, 2006, Sun New Media Inc. (the “Registrant”) through its subsidiary China Focus Channel Development Co. Ltd (“Focus”), signed a strategic cooperative and sales purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with China Electronic Appliances Corporation (“CEAC”), a subsidiary of the China Electronics Corporation (“CEC”), and two individuals, Mr. Yong Li and Mr. Mianchun Wang, management designees from CEAC.
The Agreement provides that the Registrant and its subsidiary Focus shall purchase a 49% stake in Beijing Trans Global Logistics (“BTGL”) and its subsidiary from Messrs. Wang and Li and a 31% stake in BTGL from CEAC. As a result, the Registrant will effectively own 80% of shares of BTGL and will effectively own 64% of the shares in Beijing CEAC Trans Global Logistics. The consideration for the acquisition is 15,710,000 RMB to be satisfied by the Registrant with 9,000,000 RMB in cash and 6.71 million RMB in 139,792 shares of the Registrant’s common stock at US $6 per share.
As part of the transaction, CEAC and Mr. Yong Li and Mr. Mianchun Wang have provided a revenue and profit guarantee to the Registrant. Assuming BTGL and its subsidiary meet this guarantee in each of the three years following the signing of the agreement, the sellers will receive an additional 139,792 shares of the Registrant’s common stock per year, issued at US $6 per share.
Assuming management meets all performance targets, a maximum aggregate of 559,168 shares may be issued in this transaction, at a value of US$6 per share, for an aggregate of US $3,355,008.
The transactions pursuant to the Purchase Agreement are subject to certain conditions and are expected to close during the second quarter of 2006. A summary of the Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibits 2.1.
