INTRODUCTION
This Rule 13E-3 transaction statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with the exhibits hereto (the “Transaction Statement”), is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), jointly by the following persons (each, a “Filing Person,” and collectively, the “Filing Persons”): (a) Gushan Environmental Energy Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), the issuer of the ordinary shares, par value HK$0.00001 per share (each, a “Share” and collectively, the “Shares”), including the Shares represented by the American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each ADS representing ten Shares, that is subject to the transaction pursuant to Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act, (b) Mr. Jianqiu Yu, chairman of the board of directors and principal executive officer of the Company, (c) Trillion Energy Holdings Limited, a business company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“Parent”) wholly-owned by Mr. Jianqiu Yu, and (d) Trillion Energy Investments Holdings Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”).
This Transaction Statement relates to the agreement and plan of merger dated as of June 4, 2012 (the “merger agreement”), by and among the Company, Parent, Merger Sub and Mr. Jianqiu Yu. If the merger agreement is approved and adopted by the Company’s shareholders and the other conditions to the closing of the merger (as defined below) are satisfied or waived, Parent will acquire the Company through the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “merger”) with the Company surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.
If the merger is completed, each issued and outstanding Share, including Shares represented by ADSs, owned by our shareholders as of the effective time of the merger, except as described below, will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive $0.162 in cash per Share or $1.62 in cash per ADS (less $0.05 per ADS cancellation fees pursuant to the deposit agreement, dated as of December 24, 2007, by and among the Company, the ADS depositary, and all holders and beneficial owners of ADSs issued thereunder, referred to herein as the “Deposit Agreement”), in each case without interest.
At the effective time of the merger, any Shares or ADSs owned by any subsidiaries of the Company, beneficially owned by Mr. Jianqiu Yu, held by the ADS depositary and not represented by ADSs will be cancelled without the payment of any consideration. Shares owned by shareholders who have validly exercised and have not effectively withdrawn or lost their appraisal rights under the Cayman Companies Law will be cancelled for the appraised or agreed value under the Cayman Companies Law.
If there is no exercise of appraisal rights, the total cash consideration to be paid to the Company’s shareholders (excluding Mr. Jianqiu Yu) if the merger is completed will be approximately $20.7 million.
At the effective time of the merger (the “effective time”), each option to purchase Shares pursuant to the share option scheme adopted as of November 9, 2007, that is then outstanding and unexercised, whether not then vested, will expire and be converted into the right to receive, immediately following the effective time, a cash payment equal to the product of (i) the amount by which $0.162 exceeds the exercise price per Share of such option and (ii) the number of Shares subject to such option. If the exercise price per Share of any option is equal to or greater than $0.162, no payment will be made in respect thereof. The share option scheme adopted as of November 9, 2007, will be terminated as of the effective time.
On the closing date of the merger, the options to purchase 1,094,656 Shares held by Mr. Wilson Wai Sun Kwong, the Company’s president, pursuant to a service agreement between the Company and Mr. Kwong dated September 21, 2007, shall be cancelled without the payment of any consideration.
In the event that any holder of options to purchase Shares pursuant to the Company’s share option scheme does not execute a consent providing that such options held by such holder will expire at the effective time of the merger, after the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the merger, Parent may elect to require that certain actions be taken to cause such options to lapse before the closing date of the merger. These actions consist of the following (i) the closing will be delayed by 15 calendar days, (ii) Parent, Merger Sub and the Company will certify that the merger has become unconditional, (iii) Parent will deposit the merger consideration with an escrow agent and (iv) Parent, Merger Sub and the Company will execute the plan of merger and deposit it with the escrow agent with irrevocable instructions to release the merger consideration and file the plan of merger with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies fifteen days thereafter.
Approval and adoption of the merger agreement requires the approval (i) of a special resolution authorizing the merger by registered shareholders representing not less than two-thirds of the Shares, present and voting in person or by proxy as a single class at a general meeting of which notice specifying the intention to prepare the resolution as a special resolution has been duly given, referred to herein as a “special resolution” and, pursuant to the merger agreement and (ii) by the affirmative vote of shareholders representing a majority of the total issued and outstanding Shares, excluding any Shares (or ADSs) (x) owned by any subsidiaries of the Company, (y) beneficially owned by Mr. Jianqiu Yu and (z) held by the ADS depositary which are not represented by ADSs (the Shares referred to in subclauses (x) through (z), collectively, the “Excluded Shares”). We refer to the approval described in clause (ii) above as the “majority of the minority” vote requirement. Any Excluded Shares that are voted will be counted towards determining whether the special resolution has passed but not towards determining whether the majority of the minority vote requirement has been satisfied. The 22,145,200 Shares held by subsidiaries of the
1
Company will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of the special committee of the Company’s board of directors, and such Shares will be counted towards determining whether the special resolution has passed but not towards determining whether the majority of the minority vote requirement has been satisfied. In addition, any Shares voted by the ADS depositary at the direction of the Company pursuant to Section 4.07 of the Deposit Agreement will be counted towards determining whether the special resolution has passed but treated as shares not voted for purposes of determining whether the majority of the minority vote requirement is satisfied.
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 will consider and vote upon, among other proposals, a proposal to approve the merger and approve and adopt the merger agreement and the other transactions contemplated thereby. As of the date hereof, the Proxy Statement is in preliminary form and is subject to completion.
