At the Effective Time, each common share, par value $0.01 per share, of Issuer (collectively, the “Common Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was cancelled and converted into the right to receive US$5.25 per Common Share, without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes, except for any Common Shares that, as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, were (i) held by SPII or any subsidiary of SPII or (ii) held by Issuer as treasury stock or by any of Issuer’s subsidiaries, which Common Shares were canceled, and no payment was made with respect to such Common Shares.
Upon the consummation of the Merger, Issuer became a wholly-owned subsidiary of SPII and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased. On October 11, 2019, Issuer notified NASDAQ of the completion of the Merger and requested that trading in the Common Shares be suspended and that NASDAQ file with the SEC a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on Form 25, thereby commencing the process of delisting and deregistering the Common Shares.
