Holdco, Parent, Merger Sub, Mr. Li, Mr. Xu, Ms. Jian, Mr. Cheng, Magic Bell, Quiet Well, New Dragon, New Phoenix and City Legend are collectively referred to as the “Buyer Group”. Quiet Well, New Dragon, New Phoenix and City Legend are collectively referred to as the “Rollover Shareholders”.
This Transaction Statement relates to the agreement and plan of merger, dated as of November 4, 2015, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the agreement and plan of merger, dated as of December 20, 2015, among Parent, Merger Sub and the Company (the “merger agreement”) providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “merger”) in accordance with Cayman Islands Companies Law (the “CICL”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (the “surviving corporation”) after the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.
Under the terms of the merger agreement, if the merger is completed, at the effective time of the merger (the “Effective Time”), each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than Shares and ADSs beneficially owned by the Buyer Group (the “Rollover Shares”), Shares owned by shareholders who have validly exercised and have not effectively withdrawn or lost their dissenter rights under the CICL (the “Dissenting Shares”) and Shares represented by ADSs, shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive $28.0 in cash per Share without interest. Each ADS issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than ADSs representing the Rollover Shares) shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive $28.0 in cash per ADS without interest (less $0.05 per ADS cancellation fees pursuant to the terms and conditions of the deposit agreement, dated as of September 25, 2006, as amended on September 29, 2010). The Rollover Shares will be cancelled for no consideration. The Dissenting Shares will be cancelled for their fair value determined in accordance with the CICL.
In addition, at or immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall terminate the Company’s 2006 Employee Share Incentive Plan and the Amended and Restated Limited Share Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Share Incentive Plans”), terminate all relevant award agreements applicable to the Share Incentive Plans, cancel all options to purchase Shares or ADSs (the “Company Options”), all restricted shares (the “Restricted Shares”) and all restricted share units (the “RSUs”) under the Share Incentive Plans that are then outstanding and unexercised, whether or not vested or exercisable. Each holder of the outstanding and unexercised Company Options shall have the right to receive as soon as practicable following the Effective Time an amount in cash equal to the excess of $28.0 over the applicable per share exercise price of such Company Options multiplied by the number of Shares underlying such Company Options.
1
Furthermore, at or immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) each holder of Restricted Shares or RSUs that are vested on or prior to January 1, 2016 and each member of the special committee of the Board (the “Special Committee”) who holds Restricted Shares or RSUs that are not vested on or prior to January 1, 2016 will have the right to receive from the surviving corporation as soon as practicable following the Effective Time an amount in cash determined by multiplying (x) $28.0 by (y) the number of Shares subject to such Restricted Shares or RSUs, as applicable; and (ii) each holder (other than the members of the Special Committee) of Restricted Shares or RSUs that are not vested on or prior to January 1, 2016 and are cancelled at the Effective Time will receive restricted cash awards (each a “RCA” and collectively “RCAs”), and each RCA will entitle the holder to receive an amount equal to $28.0. The surviving corporation will pay each holder 50% of his or her RCAs on January 1, 2017 and the remaining 50% on January 1, 2018; provided, however, that if the holder is a U.S. taxpayer, then such holder will instead be paid his or her RCAs arising from RSUs in accordance with the payment timing of the settlement provisions of the related RSU award agreement (with the RCA attributable to an RSU paid on the date such RSU otherwise would have been settled).
The merger agreement, the plan of merger required to be filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands in connection with the merger and substantially in the form attached as Appendix A to the merger agreement (the “plan of merger”), and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and the plan of merger, including the merger, remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the merger agreement, including obtaining the requisite authorization and approval of the shareholders of the Company. In order for the merger to be completed, the merger agreement, the plan of merger and the merger must be authorized and approved by the affirmative vote of holders of Shares representing at least two-thirds of the Shares present and voting in person or by proxy as a single class at the shareholders’ meeting in accordance with Section 233(6) of the CICL. Pursuant to support agreements entered into by the Rollover Shareholders, the Rollover Shareholders have agreed to vote all of the Shares beneficially owned by them in favor of the merger agreement, the plan of merger, and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement including the merger, which Shares represent approximately 63.1% of the total number of votes represented by the Company’s issued and outstanding Shares. A vote by a majority of the Shares held by unaffiliated holders is not required to approve the merger, the merger agreement, or the plan of merger.
The Company will make available to its shareholders a proxy statement (the “proxy statement,” a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)-(1) to this Transaction Statement), relating to the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the Company, at which the shareholders of the Company will consider and vote upon, among other proposals, a proposal to authorize and approve the merger agreement, the plan of merger and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger. If a shareholder signs and submits a proxy card but does not indicate a voting preference, the Shares represented by the proxy will be voted for the merger and the related authorizations. If a shareholder abstains or otherwise fails to vote, their vote will not be counted. Copies of the merger agreement and the plan of merger are attached to the proxy statement as Annex A and are incorporated herein by reference.
