(a)-(b)

 

As of September 16, 2015, the Investors and Co-Investors own 5,437,945 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”), constituting approximately 50.6% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock.  The responses set forth in Items 1 through 3 are incorporated herein by reference.

 

The OCM Fund directly holds the Issuer’s Common Stock and has sole power to vote and dispose of the Issuer’s Common Stock.

 

The OCM Fund GP, in its capacity as the general partner of the OCM Fund, has the ability to direct the management of the OCM Fund’s business, including the power to vote and dispose of securities held by the OCM Fund; therefore, the OCM Fund GP may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer held by the OCM Fund.

 

OCM Fund GP Ltd., in its capacity as the general partner of the OCM Fund GP, has the ability to direct the management of the OCM Fund GP’s business, including the power to direct the decisions of the OCM Fund GP regarding the vote and disposition of securities held by the OCM Fund; therefore, OCM Fund GP Ltd. may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock held by the OCM Fund.

 

GP I, in its capacity as the sole shareholder of OCM Fund GP Ltd., has the ability to appoint and remove directors of OCM Fund GP Ltd. and, as such, may indirectly control the decisions of OCM Fund GP Ltd. regarding the vote and disposition of securities held by the OCM Fund; therefore, GP I may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock held by the OCM Fund.

 

Capital I, in its capacity as the general partner of GP I, has the ability to direct the management of GP I’s business, including the power to direct the decisions of GP I regarding the vote and disposition of securities held by the OCM Fund; therefore, Capital I may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock held by the OCM Fund.

 

Holdings I, in its capacity as the general partner of Capital I, has the ability to direct the management of Capital I’s business, including the power to direct the decisions of Capital I regarding the vote and disposition of securities held by the OCM Fund; therefore, Holdings I may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock held by the OCM Fund.

OCG, in its capacity as the managing member of Holdings, has the ability to direct the management of Holdings’ business, including the power to direct the decisions of Holdings regarding the vote and disposition of securities held by the OCM Fund; therefore, OCG may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock held by the OCM Fund.

 

23



 

OCGH GP, in its capacity as the duly appointed manager of OCG, has the ability to appoint and remove directors of OCG and, as such, may indirectly control the decisions of OCG regarding the vote and disposition of securities held by the OCM Fund; therefore, OCGH GP may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock held by the OCM Fund.

To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the Covered Persons directly owns any shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that because of each Covered Person’s status as a manager, general partner, director, executive officer or member of a Reporting Person, a Covered Person may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Reporting Person.  Except to the extent of their pecuniary interest, each of the Covered Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock reported herein and the filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that any such Covered Person is the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this statement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Purchaser nor the Sellers shall have any obligation to pay any fee to any third party (other than filing or other fees payable to Governmental Authorities) for the purpose of obtaining any Consent or any costs and expenses of any third party resulting from the process of obtaining such Consents. Each of the parties hereto shall make or cause to be made all filings and submissions under laws and regulations applicable to it as may be required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(a)        The Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to file, as soon as practicable after the date hereof but in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter, the notification and report forms required for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with the United States Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of Justice, and shall provide any supplemental information requested in connection with such notification and report forms pursuant to the HSR Act.

to such Seller in connection with the Purchaser’s preparation of any filing or submission that is necessary under the HSR Act.

 

(b)        The Purchaser and the Sellers shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate in the preparation of any draft and final notification of the transaction contemplated hereby to CFIUS made in accordance with 31 C.F.R. Part 800, and shall use their reasonable best efforts to provide any information requested by CFIUS or any other agency or branch of the U.S. government in connection with a CFIUS review or investigation of the transaction contemplated hereby.  Such reasonable best efforts with respect to Purchaser shall include agreeing to any reasonable action, restriction or condition proposed by CFIUS or any other agency or branch of the U.S. government as a condition to obtaining the CFIUS Clearance, it being understood that no proposed action, restriction or condition will be deemed to be reasonable if it would, in the Purchaser’s reasonable judgment, materially impair the financial value of the Purchaser’s investment or the reasonably anticipated benefits to the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Sellers shall not be required to agree to any action, restriction or condition proposed by CFIUS or any other agency or branch of the U.S. government as a condition to obtaining CFIUS Clearance.

Each Seller shall give prompt notice to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall give prompt notice to each Seller, of the occurrence, or non-occurrence, of any event the occurrence or non-occurrence of which would be reasonably likely to cause (i) any representation or warranty of such Seller or the Purchaser, as the case may be, contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect at or prior to the Closing or (ii) such Seller or the Purchaser, as the case may be, to fail to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice.

(a)        by mutual written agreement of the Purchaser and the holders of a majority of shares of Common Stock owned by the Sellers;

 

(b)        at any time on or after January 14, 2016 (the “Termination Date”), by either the Purchaser or the holders of a majority of shares of Common Stock owned by the Sellers, by giving written notice of such termination to the other parties, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to the Termination Date and if the failure to consummate the Closing by the Termination Date is not the result of any breach of the representations or warranties made by, or the failure to perform or comply with any of the agreements or covenants hereof to be performed or complied with prior to the Closing by, the party (or, in the case of a termination by the holders of a majority of shares of Common Stock owned by the Sellers, any Seller) seeking to terminate this Agreement; or

 

(c)        by either the Purchaser (subject to Section 6.4) or the holders of a majority of shares of Common Stock owned by the Sellers by written notice of such termination to the other parties if any event, fact or condition shall occur or exist that makes it impossible to satisfy a condition to the terminating party’s obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, unless the occurrence or existence of such event, fact or condition shall be due to the failure of the terminating party (or, in the case of a termination by the holders of a majority of shares of Common Stock owned by the Sellers, any Seller) to perform or comply with any of the agreements or covenants hereof to be performed or complied with by such party prior to the Closing.

 

Section 7.2            Effect of Termination.

At any time prior to the Closing Date, the parties may (a) extend the time for performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties or (b) waive or amend any provision of this Agreement if, and only if, such extension, amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Purchaser and the holders of a majority of shares owned by the Sellers, or in the case of an extension or waiver, by the party (and, in the case of a waiver by the Sellers, only by the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock owned by the Sellers) against whom the extension or waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

 

Section 8.3            Time of Essence. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, with regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence.

 

Section 8.4            Assignment.

18



 

Purchaser or the Sellers, or their respective successors or permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

Section 8.7            Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be borne by the party incurring such expenses.  In addition, the parties agree that (i) all filing/registration fees in connection with any filing/registration under the DPA, the HSR Act and with the NDRC, MOFCOM and a SAFE Designated Bank shall be borne 50% by the Purchaser, on one hand, and 50% by the Sellers, on the other hand and (ii) the Specified Expenses (as defined below) shall be allocated among the Sellers, on one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, as follows: (x) the Purchaser shall pay Specified Expenses in an amount equal to the sum of $1,250,000, plus the excess of (A) the total amount of Specified Expenses, less (B) $1,250,000, (C) less the amount of Specified Expenses to be paid by the Sellers pursuant to clause (y) below; and (y) the Sellers shall pay Specified Expenses in an amount equal to the difference between (I) the product obtained by multiplying (a) the difference between the total amount of Specified Expenses, less $1,250,000, by (b) 50%, less (II) the difference between $1,100,000 and the actual amount of any agent fee (but not applicable lender fees) incurred by the Company in connection with the waivers, consents or amendment of the Credit Agreement contemplated by Section 6.1(e) above (the “Agent Fee”). For purposes hereof, “Specified Expenses” means the sum of (a) all reasonable and documented third-party fees and expenses payable by the Company in connection the transactions contemplated hereby in excess of $1,000,000 and (b) all reasonable and documented third-party fees and expenses (including any Agent Fee) incurred by the Company in connection with the waivers, consents or amendment of the Credit Agreement contemplated by Section 6.1(e) above, it being acknowledged and agreed by the parties that the Agent Fee shall be deemed to equal $1,100,000 for purposes of this definition if the actual amount paid therefore is less than $1,100,000.  Each Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall bear its pro rata share of the expenses payable by the Sellers pursuant to this Section 8.7.

(ii)           If either party fails to appoint an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the date on which the Dispute was referred to arbitration, the Chairman of the HKIAC shall appoint the missing arbitrator.

 

(iii)          If the appointed arbitrators are unable to agree on the third (3rd) arbitrator within thirty (30) days of their appointment, then the Chairman of the HKIAC shall appoint the third (3rd) arbitrator.

 

(c)        Discovery shall be permitted.

 

(d)        Any award in the arbitration proceeding shall be rendered in English.

 

(e)        In any arbitration pursuant to this Section, the arbitrators are not empowered to award:

(ii)           any equitable remedies except to the extent that such remedies enforce the obligations of this Agreement.

 

(f)        The arbitrators shall decide in the award the allocation of costs, including the arbitrators’ fees, expenses for translators and translations required in connection with the arbitration and all other costs to which the dispute may give rise.

 

(g)        The venue and seat of the arbitration shall be Hong Kong. The award of the arbitrators shall be final, binding and without appeal.

Section 8.11          Headings. The heading references herein and in the table of contents hereto are for convenience purposes only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

From time to time after the Closing Date, at the request of the other parties hereto and at the expense of the party so requesting, the Sellers and the Purchaser shall execute and deliver to such requesting party such documents and take such other action as such requesting party may reasonably request in order to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

Section 8.13          Limited Liability of Members of Seller and the Purchaser. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby will be had against any Person that is not a party to this Agreement or the other documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including (to the extent not a party) any current or future director, officer, employee, general or limited partner, member or Affiliate of any Seller or the Purchaser or of any of the foregoing (collectively, a “Related Party”), whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable law, it being expressly understood and agreed that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any Related Party, as such, for any obligation of such Seller or the Purchaser, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation.

 

Section 8.14          Several Liability of the Sellers.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but without limiting in any manner the Purchaser’s express rights hereunder, all representations, warranties, covenants and other obligations of the Sellers contained herein or contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, those contained in Sections 2.2 and 2.3, are, and shall in all cases be deemed to be, several and not joint.

·                  The Company.

Expenses

 

Each party shall bear its own transaction costs, except as specified below.  The Purchaser and Sellers will each bear an agreed portion of the following transaction expenses (including reasonable and documented fees paid to advisors, attorneys, consultants and applicable lenders): (i) 100% of the fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the amendment or waiver of the

 



 

 

 

Credit Agreement referred to above; and (ii) all reasonable and documented fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the Transaction in excess of $1 million.

 

 

 

Management Incentive Plan

 

Subject to the approval of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) or an authorized special committee of the Board, the Purchaser agrees to fund a new management incentive arrangement which involves the issuance of $1.5 million in cash based awards to management.

 

 

 

Board Approval

 

The Board will approve the Transaction for purposes of Section 203 of the DGCL so that the Purchaser will be exempt from such restrictions.

 

 

 

Standstill

 

For a period of three (3) years following execution of the Governance, Voting and Standstill Agreement (the “Standstill Period”), without the approval of the Non-Affiliated Directors (as defined below), the Purchaser and its affiliates may not purchase shares of the Company’s equity securities or otherwise acquire beneficial ownership of any shares of the Company or any security that is convertible into such shares (other than as set forth in “Transfer/Purchases” below). In addition, during the Standstill Period, neither the Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall: (i) effect, seek or make any proposal with respect to, or in any way assist or encourage any other person to effect or seek, directly or indirectly, any “solicitation” of “proxies” (as such terms are used in the proxy rules of the SEC) to vote any shares of the Company or any consent solicitation or stockholder proposal; (ii) except in accordance with the terms hereof, otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to seek representation on the Board of Directors of the Company; (iii) make any public request or public proposal to amend, waive or terminate any provision of this provision; or (iv) take any action that would reasonably be expected to result in the Company having to make a public announcement regarding any of the matters referred to in clauses (i) through (iii).

 

 

 

Corporate Governance

 

During the Standstill Period, the Purchaser shall have the right to appoint the number of directors necessary to comprise a majority of the Board; provided that, in the event the Purchaser exercises its right to appoint a majority of the directors on the Board, the Board shall increase the total number of Board seats to accommodate the Purchaser’s nominees such that the appointments by the Purchaser shall not have the effect of requiring any current Board member to resign.

 

For so long as the Purchaser owns at least 35% of the fully diluted

 

2



 

 

 

equity securities of the Company, the Purchaser will have the right to appoint such majority of directors to the Board. The initial three (3) nominees appointed by Purchaser shall be Mr. Kisum Wong, Mr. Yong Ge and Mr. Tao Zhang who shall replace Mr. Michael Harmon, Mr. Aaron Bendikson and Mr. Curtis Lane. The Purchaser may designate additional nominees from time to time (up to the number necessary to comprise a majority) and the Company shall cause such nominees to be appointed to the Board, subject to the Company Approval Right. In addition, for so long as the Purchaser owns at least 35% of the fully diluted equity securities of the Company and such persons remain directors:

 

·                  Mr. Wong (chairman of the Purchaser) will be the chairman of the Board;

 

·                  Mr. Ge and Mr. Zhang will both serve on the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee;

 

·                  Mr. Wong, Mr. Ge and Mr. Zhang will each sit on a different class of the Board.

 

In the event that the Purchaser owns less than 35% but at least 25% of the fully diluted equity securities of the Company, the Purchaser shall have the right to appoint three (3) directors to the Board. In that case, the number of Purchaser designees on committees of the Board will be reduced by one. In the event that the Purchaser owns less than 25% but at least 15% of the fully diluted equity securities of the Company, the Purchaser shall have the right to appoint one (1) director to the Board. In that case, the Purchaser’s sole appointee shall not be entitled to sit on any committees of the Board. In the event that the Purchaser owns less than 15% of the fully diluted equity securities of the Company, the Purchaser shall have no contractual right to appoint any directors to the Board; provided, however, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will review in good faith any proposals with respect to director nominees at all times. In the event that the number of Purchaser designees then serving on the Board exceeds the number of directors that the Purchaser shall then have the right to designate hereunder, the Purchaser shall take all requisite action to cause the resignation or removal of such number of excess persons from the Board.

 

The Company shall have the right (the “Company Approval Right”) to deny any of the Purchaser’s proposed designees to the Board or any Committee of the Board if (i) in the case of a Committee appointment, such designee is not qualified to serve on

 

3



 

 

 

such Committee, (ii) such designee’s appointment to the Board (in the case of a Board appointment) or to a Committee (in the case of a Committee appointment) would cause the Company not to be in in compliance with any applicable SEC, NASDAQ or IRS independence or other requirements, or (iii) such designee is affiliated with a competitor of the Company or has been convicted of, or has pleaded guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude, or was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or if the Non-Affiliated Directors determine, in good faith, that the appointment or election of such person would be a breach of their fiduciary duties under applicable law.

 

In addition, all directors will be expected to attend at least 75% of all Board and Committee meetings either in person or telephonically and at least one Board meeting in Beijing, China, and one Board meeting in California, USA, in person each year.

 

 

 

Confidentiality

 

All Purchaser nominees will be subject to confidentiality and information sharing restrictions customary for a transaction of this nature, including restrictions with respect to trading on material non-public information.

 

 

 

Voting Arrangement

 

During the Standstill Period, the Purchaser will vote and consent all of its shares in favor of the nominees of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, will not vote for or consent to the removal of any such persons unless recommended by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and will grant an irrevocable proxy in support of such covenant. In addition, the director compensation package will not be reduced in any material respect without the approval of a majority of the independent directors not affiliated with the Purchaser (the “Non-Affiliated Directors”).

 

 

 

Transfer/Purchases

 

The Sellers will assign to the Purchaser the registration rights granted to the Sellers under the Stockholders Agreement entered into among the Company and certain of the Sellers as of April 16, 2007.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser shall have the right to, without any Board action, acquire additional securities of the Company to maintain its ownership level at 51.5% on a fully diluted basis; provided that such right is exercised within one hundred twenty (120) days of the Purchaser’s ownership level falling below such 51.5% on a fully diluted basis.

 

4



 

Transfer Restrictions

 

If at any time the Purchaser receives an offer or inquiry to purchase all or substantially all of its shares, it must provide prompt written notice of such offer or inquiry to the Company and the Board of Directors.

 

As a condition to any share transfer by the Purchaser during the Standstill Period (except in a sale to public stockholders, whether made pursuant to the Purchaser’s registration rights, Rule 144 or other means permitted by US securities laws where it is anticipated that no transferee will own 5% or more of the outstanding shares), the transferee shall agree to be bound by the terms of the Governance, Voting and Standstill Agreement.

 

 

 

Related Party Transactions

 

Any transaction in excess of $120,000 between the Purchaser or its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall require the approval of a majority of the Non-Affiliated Directors.

 

 

 

Forum for Disputes; Amendment

 

Any dispute arising between the parties shall be governed by Delaware law and will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Delaware Chancery Court (or if the Delaware Chancery Court is unavailable, any other court of the State of Delaware or, to the extent necessary, any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware). Any amendment to the Governance, Voting and Standstill Agreement shall require the approval of a majority of the Non-Affiliated Directors.

 

 

 

Termination

 

The Governance, Voting and Standstill Agreement shall terminate in the event that the Purchaser owns less than 5% of the fully diluted equity securities of the Company.

 

 

 

Business Assistance and Non-Competition

 

The Purchaser will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to provide assistance to the Company as may be reasonably requested in connection with the operation of its business and its pursuit of worldwide growth opportunities without any payment designed as a management, consulting, advisory or similar fee or expense to the Company.

 

For so long as (i) the Purchaser owns at least 15% of the fully diluted equity securities of the Company or (ii) one or more individuals affiliated with the Purchaser is a member of the Board, the Purchaser will not, and will cause its controlled or controlling affiliates not to, conduct any business that directly competes with the business of the Company as currently conducted (the “Competing Business”), provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Purchaser or any of its controlled affiliates from (i) making a passive investment representing less than 5% of any

 

5



 

 

 

class of equity securities of any person, provided, however, that such class of equity securities is traded on a national securities exchange or (ii) acquiring or making non-controlling investments in any person or entity that does not derive a material portion of its revenues from any Competing Business.

 

 

 

Non-Binding

 

Except as set forth below, this Term Sheet sets forth a summary of the material terms expected to be included in a definitive agreement but does not constitute a binding obligation on the part of any person, it being understood that such binding obligation will arise only upon the execution of a mutually acceptable definitive agreement by and between the Company and the Purchaser and any other parties mutually agreed to be a party thereto, which shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of each such party. The Company and the Purchaser each agree to use commercially reasonable best efforts to as promptly as practicable finalize and execute a definitive agreement that reflects the terms and conditions set forth in this Term Sheet. This Term Sheet shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflicts of laws.
