At the closing of the Merger, Mr. Wang, Nancy Li, AvantaLion, PCF, and the Issuer entered into a Stockholders’ Agreement dated January 30, 2015 (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”). Among other things, the Stockholders’ Agreement contains provisions entitling PCF to designate two members of the Board, at least one of whom will serve on each of the audit, compensation and nominating and governance committees of Issuer. Pursuant to this provision, James R. Hale and John A. Coelho joined Issuer’s Board effective January 30, 2015 and the parties to the Stockholders’ Agreement other than the Issuer agreed to vote their shares of Common Stock in the future in favor of the individuals who may be designated by PCF to the Board pursuant to terms contained in the Stockholders’ Agreement. The Stockholders’ Agreement also provides that the shares owned by Mr. Wang may not be transferred unless the transferee agreed to be bound by the terms of the terms of the Stockholders’ Agreement. The designation and voting provisions terminate on the date on which PCF and its affiliates cease to collectively beneficially own, in the aggregate, at least fifty percent (50%) of the total number of shares and conversion shares issued in the Merger.
