Introductory Statement
This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (the “Amendment”) is filed jointly by Mr. Chuanwei Zhang (“Mr. Zhang”), First Windy Investment Corp. (“First Windy”), Ms. Ling Wu (“Ms. Wu”) and Rich Wind Energy Three Corp. (“Rich Wind”, and together with Mr. Zhang, First Windy and Ms. Wu, the “Reporting Persons”) and hereby amends and supplements the Schedule 13D initially filed by the Reporting Persons with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 16, 2012, as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 filed by the Reporting Persons with the SEC on June 19, 2015 (as so amended, the “Original Schedule 13D”, and as amended and supplemented by this Amendment, the “Schedule 13D”) with respect to the ordinary shares, par value $0.001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), of China Ming Yang Wind Power Group Limited, a Cayman Islands company (the “Issuer”). The Ordinary Shares are represented by American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), with each ADS representing one Ordinary Share. Information reported in the Original Schedule 13D with respect to the Reporting Persons remains in effect except to the extent that it is amended or superseded by information contained in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Original Schedule 13D.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
Item 3 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end thereof:
On November 2, 2015, Mr. Zhang, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer, submitted a preliminary non-binding proposal (the “Proposal Letter”) to the Issuer’s board of directors relating to the proposed acquisition of all of the outstanding Ordinary Shares and ADSs, other than Ordinary Shares and ADSs beneficially owned by him, in a going private transaction, for cash consideration of US$2.51 per ADS or Ordinary Share (the “Proposed Transaction”). According to the Proposal Letter, Mr. Zhang intends to finance the Transaction with a combination of debt and equity capital. A portion of the equity financing would be provided from Mr. Zhang’s existing shareholdings in the Issuer and Mr. Zhang expects the remainder of the financing to be provided by third party debt and equity financing sources and certain shareholders of the Issuer.
The description of the Proposal Letter contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit B, which Exhibit is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end thereof:
On November 2, 2015, Mr. Zhang, on behalf of himself, submitted the Proposal Letter to the Issuer’s board of directors relating to the Proposed Transaction.
In the Proposal Letter, Mr. Zhang proposed to acquire all of the outstanding Ordinary Shares and ADS of the Issuer, other than the Ordinary Shares and ADSs beneficially owned by him, for US$2.51 per ADS or Ordinary Share in cash, which represents a premium of approximately 20% to the volume-weighted average closing price of the ADSs during the last 30 trading days prior to November 2, 2015. Mr. Zhang indicated in the Proposal Letter that he intends to finance the Proposed Transaction with a combination of debt and equity capital.
Mr. Zhang indicated in the Proposal Letter that he is prepared to promptly negotiate and finalize definitive agreements in respect of the Proposed Transaction, which will provide for representations, warranties, covenants and conditions which are typical, customary and appropriate for transaction of this type. The Proposal Letter also states that it constitutes only a preliminary indication of the key terms of Mr. Zhang’s proposal, and does not constitute any binding commitment with respect to the Proposed Transaction. Any such commitment will be contained only in the definitive agreements and on the terms provided therein.
The foregoing summary of certain provisions of the Proposal Letter is not intended to be complete. References to the Proposal Letter in this Amendment are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Proposal Letter itself, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by reference as if set forth in its entirety.
6
If the Proposed Transaction is consummated, the ADSs would be delisted from New York Stock Exchange, and the Issuer’s obligation to file periodic reports under the Exchange Act would terminate. In addition, the Proposed Transaction could result in one or more of the actions specified in clauses (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, including the acquisition or disposition of securities of the Issuer, a merger or other extraordinary transaction involving the Issuer, a change to the board of directors of the Issuer (as the surviving company in the merger) to consist of persons to be designated by the Reporting Persons, and a change in the Issuer’s memorandum and articles of association to reflect that the Issuer would become a privately held company.

First Windy is wholly owned by Mr. Zhang. Rich Wind is wholly owned by Ms. Wu. Ms. Wu is Mr. Zhang’s spouse.
