Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
MHGE Intermediate acquired the Ordinary Shares reported in this Statement on Schedule 13D for investment purposes.
On June 20, 2013, the Issuer announced that it had received a preliminary, non-binding proposal from Julia Huang, Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, and Shawn Ding, Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer (collectively, the “Management Group”), to acquire all of the outstanding ordinary shares of the Issuer not currently owned by the Management Group and certain other shareholders of the Issuer who may join the Management Group, at a proposed price of $2.33 in cash per Ordinary Share, subject to certain conditions (the “Management Proposal”).
In response to such announcement, on July 3, 2013, MHGE Intermediate sent a letter to the Board of Directors of the Issuer expressing its views with respect to the Management Proposal, including that it undervalues the Issuer and that alternative transactions could offer greater value to the Issuer’s shareholders than the Management Proposal.
In addition to the letter referenced above, as of August, 20, 2013, MHGE Intermediate has engaged in and may continue to engage in discussions with management, the board, any committee of the board, other stockholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties concerning the business, assets, strategy and future plans of the Issuer and the Management Group, which discussions may include any of a number of actions described in Items 4(a)-(j) of the Instructions to Schedule 13D.
MHGE Intermediate intends to review its investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the Issuer’s operations and financial position, prospects, capital structure, business development, management, competitive and strategic matters, and prevailing economic, industry and market conditions, as well as alternative investment opportunities and other investment considerations, MHGE Intermediate may take such actions with respect to its investments in the Issuer as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, purchasing, voting, trading, disposing or otherwise dealing in the Ordinary Shares (including potentially participating with the Management Group or any other shareholder in an acquisition of the Issuer) in such manner as it deems advisable to benefit from changes in market prices of the Ordinary Shares, changes in the Issuer’s operations, business strategy or prospects, or from any sale or merger of the Issuer.
MHGE Intermediate reserves the right to formulate other plans and/or make other proposals, and take such actions with respect to its investment in the Issuer, including reconsidering or changing its intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4 of this Statement on Schedule 13D.
