Item 1. | Security and Issuer. |
This Amendment to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) is filed jointly by the NewQuest Parties and the CEF Parties with respect to China Hydroelectric Corporation (the “Company”) relating to the ordinary shares, par value $0.001 per share (“Ordinary Shares”), and American Depositary Shares, each representing three Ordinary Shares (“ADSs”), of the Company.
With respect to the NewQuest Parties, this Amendment represents Amendment No. 7 to the Schedule 13D with respect to the Company filed jointly by the NewQuest Parties with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 5, 2012 (as amended, the “NewQuest Schedule 13D”), as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3, Amendment No. 4, Amendment No. 5, and Amendment No. 6 filed with the SEC on July 3, 2013, July 31, 2013, September 4, 2013, September 24, 2013, January 3, 2014, and January 13, 2014, respectively.
With respect to the CEF Parties, this Amendment represents Amendment No. 12 to the Schedule 13D with respect to the Company that was filed jointly by the NewQuest Parties, the CEF Parties, and certain other reporting persons with the SEC commencing on August 21, 2012 (as amended, the “CEF Schedule 13D” and, together with the NewQuest Schedule 13D, this “Schedule 13D”), as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 3, Amendment No. 4, Amendment No. 5, Amendment No. 6, Amendment No. 7, Amendment No. 8, Amendment No. 9, Amendment No. 10, and Amendment No. 11, filed with the SEC on August 30, 2012, September 5, 2012, September 10, 2012, September 12, 2012, September 17, 2012, September 20, 2012, September 28, 2012, October 2, 2012, and January 13, 2014, respectively. The CEF Schedule 13D was filed by the CEF Parties in connection with, among other things, the creation of a voting consortium among the reporting persons thereunder (including the CEF Parties), which voting consortium was terminated effective as of September 28, 2012.
All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the NewQuest Schedule 13D and the CEF Schedule 13D, as applicable.
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
On July 3, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. (Hong Kong time), an extraordinary general meeting (“EGM”) of the Company was held at 31st Floor, AIA Central, 1 Connaught Road Central, Hong Kong. At the EGM, the Company’s shareholders voted to approve the agreement and plan of merger, dated as of January 13, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, CPT Wyndham Holdings Ltd. (“Parent”) and CPT Wyndham Sub Ltd. (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”).
On July 8, 2014, the Company filed the plan of merger with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, which was registered by the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies on July 9, 2014, pursuant to which the Merger became effective on July 9, 2014. As a result of the Merger, the Company ceased to be a publicly traded company and became wholly beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.
At the effective time of the Merger, each Ordinary Share and ADS issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, other than the Ordinary Shares (including those represented by ADSs) beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons (collectively, the “Excluded Shares”), was cancelled in exchange for the right to receive $1.17 in cash without interest per Ordinary Share and $3.51 in cash without interest (less $0.05 per ADS cancellation fees pursuant to the terms of the deposit agreement, dated as of January 25, 2010, by and among the Company, the Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary, and the holders and beneficial owners of ADSs issued thereunder) per ADS, in each case, net of any applicable withholding taxes. There were no dissenting shares in the Merger as the Company did not receive any notice of objection from any shareholder prior to the vote to approve the Merger, which is required for exercising any dissenter rights. The Rollover Shares were cancelled for no cash consideration.
In addition, at the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding vested and unexercised option to purchase Ordinary Shares or ADSs granted under the Company’s 2008 Share Incentive Plan (the “Company Incentive Plan”) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive, at or promptly after the effective time of the Merger, a cash amount equal to the number of Ordinary Shares or ADSs underlying such option immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger multiplied by the amount by which $1.17 (in the case of an option to purchase Ordinary Shares) or $3.51 (in the case of an option to purchase ADSs) exceeded the exercise price per Share or ADS of such vested option. At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding unvested option to purchase Ordinary Shares or ADSs granted under the Company Incentive Plan was cancelled for no consideration.
Upon the consummation of the Merger, the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased. As a result of the Merger, the ADSs ceased to trade on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) beginning on July 9, 2014 and became eligible for delisting from NYSE and termination of registration pursuant to Rules 12g-4(a)(1) and 12h-3(b)(1)(i) of the Exchange Act.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Item 5 of this Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
(a)-(b) As of the date of this statement, the Reporting Persons do not beneficially own any Ordinary Shares or have any voting power or dispositive power over any Ordinary Shares.
(c) Except for the transactions described in Item 4, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transactions in the Ordinary Shares during the past 60 days.
(d)-(e) Not applicable.
