Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
On June 19, 2015, Mr. Guo, on behalf of himself and the management of the Company, submitted a non-binding proposal (the “Proposal”) to the Company’s board of directors related to the proposed acquisition of outstanding Shares of the Company other than Shares owned by Mr. Guo, management of the Company or their respective affiliates for cash consideration equal to US$3.00 per Share, or US$6.00 per ADS of the Company.
On June 29, 2015, Mr. Guo, Mr. Xu and Mr. Feng (collectively, the “Consortium Members”) entered into a consortium agreement (the “Consortium Agreement”), under which the Consortium Members have agreed to, among other things, form a consortium to work exclusively with one another to undertake the transaction to acquire all the outstanding Shares of the Company other than Shares owned by the Consortium Members or their affiliates (the “Proposed Transaction”). In addition, the Consortium Members have agreed not to (1) make a competing proposal for the acquisition of control of the Company; or (2) acquire or dispose of any (i) ADSs, (ii) Shares of the Company or (iii) warrants, options or any other securities that are convertible into ADSs or Shares of the Company, other than pursuant to share incentive plans of the Company. Further, the Consortium Members have agreed to incorporate a holding company (“Holdco”) and cause Holdco to incorporate a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco to be merged with and into the Company upon consummation of the Proposed Transaction. Each Consortium Member has agreed to enter into a rollover agreement in customary form pursuant to which such Consortium Member will contribute Shares of the Company owned by him/it or his/its affiliates to Holdco. Further, the Consortium Members agreed to conduct due diligence with respect to the Company and its business as each Consortium Member deems necessary; engage in discussions with the Company regarding the Proposal; negotiate in good faith any amendments to the terms of the Proposal, if applicable; negotiate in good faith the terms of the documentation required to implement the Proposed Transaction, including but not limited to a merger agreement, debt financing documents, if any, and a shareholders’ agreement that would include customary terms for transaction of similar nature; and if the Proposed Transaction is consummated, be reimbursed by the surviving company for certain costs and expenses related to the Proposed Transaction.
The Proposed Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including, among other things, the negotiation and execution of a definitive merger agreement and other related agreements mutually acceptable in form and substance to the Company and the Consortium Members. Neither the Company nor any Consortium Member is obligated to complete the Proposed Transaction, and a binding commitment with respect to the Proposed Transaction will result only from the execution of definitive documents, and then will be on the terms provided in such documentation.
If the Proposed Transaction is completed, the ADSs would be delisted from the NASDAQ Global Select Market, and the Company’s obligation to file periodic reports under the Act would terminate. In addition, consummation of the Proposed Transaction could result in one or more of the actions specified in Item 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D, including the acquisition or disposition of securities of the Company, a merger or other extraordinary transaction involving the Company, a change to the board of directors of the Company (as the surviving company in the merger), and a change in the Company’s memorandum and articles of association to reflect that the Company would become a privately held company.
Other than as described above, none of the Reporting Persons currently has any plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)–(j) of Schedule 13D, although the Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto. As a result of these activities, one or more of the Reporting Persons may suggest or take a position with respect to potential changes in the operations, management, or capital structure of the Company as a means of enhancing shareholder value. Such suggestions or positions may include one or more plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions required to be reported herein, including, without limitation, such matters as acquiring additional securities of the Company or disposing of securities of the Company; entering into an extraordinary corporate transaction such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries; selling or transferring a material amount of assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; changing the present board of directors or management of the Company, including changing the number or term of directors or filling any existing vacancies on the board of directors of the Company; materially changing the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company; materially changing the Company’s business or corporate structure; changing the Company’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or taking other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any person; causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; causing a class of equity securities of the Company to become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Act; and taking any action similar to any of those enumerated above.
