China SHESAYS Closes $1.2 Million Private Placement of Common Stock
CHENGDU, China, November 12, 2010 – China SHESAYS Medical Cosmetology Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CSAY) (“China SHESAYS” or the “Company”), which operates a network of specialized medical cosmetology hospitals, clinics and skincare centers in Sichuan province, China, today announced that it has completed an offering of 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $2.00 per share to a group of investors (the “Purchasers”) in a private placement transaction. Chief Capital Limited acted as the local financial advisor for the offering.
The offering resulted in gross proceeds of $1.2 million to the Company. The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the offering for working capital.
The terms of the private placement include a make good agreement under which 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock owned by an affiliate of the Company (the “Make Good Pledgor”) will be held in escrow and will be transferred to the Purchasers on a pro-rata basis at no purchase price in the event the U.S. GAAP after-tax net income of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011 is less than $6.4 million. In the event the Company meets or exceeds the make good target, the shares will be returned to the Make Good Pledgor.
The terms of the private placement also include a put option under which the Company must pay to the Purchasers, as liquidated damages, an amount equal to the Purchaser’s purchase price, with compound annual interest at a rate of 8%, in the event the Company’s after-tax net income for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011 is less than that for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010, or if any governmental agency in China challenges or takes any action that adversely affects the Company’s share listing on NASDAQ.
The shares issued in the private placement have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction. In connection with the offering, the Company must register the shares with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within 60 days following the final closing date of the offering. Until they are registered, these shares may not be sold by the Purchasers in the U.S., except pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. For more detailed information on the offering, please see the Securities Purchase Agreement filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K on file with the SEC.
"The closing of this private placement is a major milestone for China SHESAYS. We believe that the transaction will broaden our investor base and benefit all of our stakeholders. We are committed to using the funds to support the rapid expansion of our network of hospitals, clinics and skincare centers and increase our penetration in the regional markets," said Yixiang Zhang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of China SHESAYS.
