Item 15   Additional Information

 

Item 15 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

On September 9, 2021 at 10:00 am (Beijing Time), an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the Company was held at the Company’s office at 518 Shangcheng Road, Floor 17, Pudong District, Shanghai, 200120, People’s Republic of China. At the extraordinary general meeting, the shareholders of the Company authorized and approved the Merger Agreement, the articles of merger and the plan of merger required to be filed with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs of the British Virgin Islands, substantially in the form attached as Appendix 1 to the Merger Agreement (the “Plan of Merger”), and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger.

 

On September 9, 2021, the Company and Merger Sub filed the Plan of Merger with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs of the British Virgin Islands, which was registered by the Registrar of Corporate Affairs of the British Virgin Islands as of September 9, 2021, pursuant to which the Merger became effective on September 9, 2021 (the “Effective Time”).

 

At the Effective Time, each of the Company’s shares issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time was cancelled and ceased to exist in exchange for the right to receive US$1.70 per Share in cash and without interest and (ii) each American depositary share (each an “ADS”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, together with each Share represented by such ADS, was cancelled and ceased to exist in exchange for the right to receive US$5.10 per ADS (less US$0.05 per ADS cancellation fee payable pursuant to the terms of the deposit agreement dated June 30, 2020 by and among the Company, the Bank of New York Mellon), except for: (i) shares beneficially owned by Pujiang International Group Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the "Rollover Shares"), and (ii) shares owned by holders of Shares who have validly exercised and not effectively withdrawn or lost their appraisal rights pursuant to Section 179 of the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004, as amended (the "Dissenting Shares", together with the Rollover Shares, the "Excluded Shares"). Each Excluded Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled and ceased to exist, and no consideration would be delivered with respect thereto, provided that the Dissenting Shares would be paid with the payment resulting from the procedure in Section 179 of the BVI Companies Act, 2004, as amended. 

 

On September 9, 2021, as part of the Merger, the Company also received resignation notices from each of Mr. Junhong Li, Ms. Yingli Pan, and Mr. Zhongcai Wu as directors of the Company. Mr. Wei Hua also resigned from his capacity as a director of the Company. As on September 9, 2021, the sole director of the Company became Mr. Liang Tang.

 

On September 9, 2021, the Company also requested that trading of its ADSs on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) be suspended. On September 10, Nasdaq filed a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) notifying the SEC of the delisting of the Company’s ADSs on Nasdaq and the deregistration of the Company’s registered securities. The deregistration will become effective 90 days after the filing of the Form 25 or such shorter period as may be determined by the SEC. The Company intends to suspend its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by filing a Form 15 with the SEC in approximately ten days following the filing of the Form 25. The Company’s obligations to file with the SEC certain reports and forms, including Form 20-F and Form 6-K, will be suspended immediately as of the filing date of the Form 15 and will terminate once the deregistration becomes effective.
