• | By Amendment No. 2 filed on August 16, 2011, |
• | By Amendment No. 3 filed on August 15, 2012, |

• | By Amendment No. 6 filed on November 3, 2014, and |
• | By Amendment No. 7 filed on June 8, 2016 (“Amendment No. 7”). |
Pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(1), this Amendment is being filed jointly by the following as separate persons and not as members of a group: Kind United, Willis Plus, Ricky, Mr. Leung, Kindfar and Zagat. Capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined, in this Amendment have the meanings ascribed to them in Amendment No. 7.
ITEM 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
The disclosure under Item 4 of this Amendment is incorporated into Item 3 by reference. As discussed below, pursuant to the Merger Agreement (defined below), each Ordinary Share was cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration other than Exchange Shares, Excluded Shares, Dissenting Shares and Preferred Shares. The approximate aggregate Merger Consideration was US$4.2 million and was funded by cash on hand of the Issuer.
ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction.
As disclosed in Amendment No. 7, on June 8, 2016, an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”), was entered into by and among the Issuer, Investment and Merger Sub. On August 18, 2016, Kind United and Cafoong, together the “Majority Shareholder,” executed a written consent approving the Merger Agreement and the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer continuing as the surviving company (the “Merger”).
On August 18, 2016, articles of merger were filed with the BVI Registrar of Corporate Affairs and the Merger became effective. Upon effectiveness of the Merger:
• | Investment owned 100% of the equity interests of the Issuer and the Issuer had no other shareholders, |
• | Each outstanding Ordinary Share was cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, |
• | Each outstanding Exchange Share was cancelled, and converted into and exchanged for, one fully paid and non-assessable ordinary share of Investment, |
• | Each Excluded Share was cancelled, |
• | Each Dissenting Share was cancelled in exchange for the right to receive the fair value of such shares under section 179 of the BVI Business Companies Act, and |
• | Each Preferred Share was cancelled, and converted into and exchanged for, 31.91225 fully paid and non-assessable ordinary shares of Investment. |

SC 13D/A
Further, Investment assumed the 2016 Bonds, 2017 Bonds and Warrants which were outstanding as of the effective time of the Merger such that, among other things, ordinary shares of Investment will be issued upon the conversion of the 2016 Bonds and 2017 Bonds and upon exercise of the Warrants, and no Ordinary Shares will be issued upon such conversion or exercise.
In addition, as a result of the Merger:
• | The Ordinary Shares will not be listed on the NYSE MKT and no trading market will exist for these shares, |
• | The Issuer will have no public shareholders, |
• | The Issuer will be eligible to terminate, and intends to terminate, its Exchange Act reporting obligations, and |
• | The Memorandum and Articles of Association of Merger Sub became the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Issuer subject to certain exceptions. |
ITEM 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) and (b) | Upon effectiveness of the Merger, the Issuer now has 100 shares outstanding all of which may be deemed to be beneficially held by Investment.
Each of Kind United, Willis Plus, Ricky, Mr. Leung, Kindfar and Zagat beneficially owns 0 Ordinary Shares, 0% of the class of Ordinary Shares and, therefore, has the power to vote or dispose of 0 Ordinary Shares. | |
(c) | The disclosure under Items 3 and 4 above is incorporated herein by reference. | |
(d) | None. | |
(e) | On August 18, 2016, each of Kind United, Willis Plus, Ricky, Mr. Leung, Kindfar and Zagat ceased to be deemed the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the class of Ordinary Shares. |
