AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO SCHEDULE TO
This Amendment No. 3 (this “Amendment”) to Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (as amended, the “Schedule TO”) amends and supplements the statement originally filed on February 6, 2008 and amended on February 28, 2008 and March 5, 2008, on behalf of PT Media Nusantara Citra Tbk, a company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Republic of Indonesia (“MNC”) and MNC International Ltd., a company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of MNC (the “Purchaser”). This Schedule TO relates to the offer by the Purchaser to purchase American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) representing 10 ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Ordinary Shares”) and Ordinary Shares, aggregating up to 6,000,000 ADSs (treating each Ordinary Share as one-tenth of an ADS for such purpose) of Linktone Ltd., a company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Linktone”), at a price of $3.80 per ADS or $0.38 per Ordinary Share (in each case, the “Offer Price”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated February 6, 2008, as amended and restated on February 28, 2008 (as amended and restated, the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal for ADSs or the Letter of Transmittal for Ordinary Shares, as applicable (each, a “Letter of Transmittal” and together, the “Letters of Transmittal” and together with the Offer to Purchase, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer”). A copy of the Offer to Purchase, as amended and restated, is filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(H) to the Schedule TO. Copies of the Letters of Transmittal for ADSs and Ordinary Shares are filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(B) and Exhibit (a)(1)(I) respectively to the Schedule TO. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase.
Miscellaneous
Item 11 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following to the end thereof:
“The Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Wednesday, March 26, 2008. The Depositary has advised MNC and the Purchaser that, as of the expiration of the Offer, approximately 15,484,603 ADSs and 11,780 Ordinary Shares (including 810,643 ADSs that were tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures) were validly tendered and not withdrawn in the Offer.
The Purchaser expects to purchase 6,000,000 ADSs of Linktone in the Offer (treating each Ordinary Share as one-tenth of an ADS for such calculation). Because the number of Securities tendered exceeded the number of ADSs that the Purchaser offered to purchase (treating each Ordinary Share as one-tenth of an ADS for such calculation), the resulting estimated proration factor is approximately 38.7% of the number of Securities tendered, with adjustments to avoid purchases of fractional ADSs or fractional Ordinary Shares.
Both the number of Securities tendered and not withdrawn and the proration factor are preliminary and are subject to verification. The actual number of Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn and the final proration factor will be announced promptly following completion of the verification process, which is expected to be completed by April 3, 2008. Promptly after such announcement, the Depositary will issue payment based on the final proration factor and adjustments to avoid purchases of fractional ADSs or Ordinary Shares for the Securities validly tendered and accepted for payment in the Offer and will return to the tendering holders all other Securities tendered, but not accepted for payment in the Offer.
Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, following the acceptance for payment of Securities in the Offer, MNC intends to subscribe for 180,000,000 newly issued Ordinary Shares of Linktone at a purchase price equivalent to the Offer Price. MNC intends to complete the Subscription for these Ordinary Shares on April 3, 2008, as soon as practicable following payment for Securities validly tendered and accepted for payment in the Offer. After giving effect to the Subscription and the acquisition of Securities in the Offer, we will hold approximately 57.1% of Linktone’s total outstanding Ordinary Shares, calculated on a fully-diluted basis. As the indirect holder of approximately 57.1% of Linktone’s Ordinary Shares, MNC will be able to control Linktone.
On March 27, 2008, MNC issued a press release announcing the preliminary results of the Offer. The full text of the March 27, 2008 press release is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(S) and is incorporated herein by reference.”
Item 12 is amended and supplemented by adding the following:
