Item 15

Additional Information

 

Item 15(c) is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

On January 31, 2023, at 2:00 p.m. (Cayman Islands Time), an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the Company was held at the offices of Maples and Calder, Ugland House, South Church Street, George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. At the extraordinary general meeting, the shareholders of the Company authorized and approved the Merger Agreement, the Plan of Merger required to be registered with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands in connection with the Merger and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger.

 

On March 3, 2023, the Company and Merger Sub filed the Plan of Merger with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands, which was registered by the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands as of March 3, 2023, pursuant to which the Merger became effective on March 3, 2023 (the “Effective Time”). As a result of the Merger, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

 

The consummation of the Merger was financed through a combination of (i) rollover equity from the Rollover Shareholders, (ii) certain loan facilities in a total amount of US$80,000,000.00 (with certain fees and reserves deducted) pursuant to a facility agreement dated February 27, 2023 by and among Parent, Holdco, Merger Sub, Credit Suisse and certain other parties thereto, (iii) cash contributions by the Sponsor in the amount of US$46,000,000.00, and (iv) upon Parent’s written request pursuant to Section 6.18 of the Merger Agreement, certain available unrestricted cash of the Company in the amount of US$146,000.00.

 

At the Effective Time, each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than the Excluded Shares and Shares represented by ADSs, was cancelled and ceased to exist in exchange for the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration in cash, and each ADS issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than ADSs representing the Excluded Shares), together with the Shares represented by such ADSs, was cancelled and ceased to exist in exchange for the right to receive the Per ADS Merger Consideration in cash.

 

At the Effective Time, the Excluded Shares and the ADSs representing such Excluded Shares, in each case issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, were cancelled and ceased to exist without payment of any consideration or distribution therefor.

 

At the Effective Time, the Company (a) terminated the Company Share Plans and any relevant award agreements entered into under the Company Share Plans, and (b) provided for the treatment of each Company Option that was then outstanding and unexercised, whether or not vested or exercisable, and each Company RSU that was then outstanding as described below.

 

Each holder of a Company Option to purchase Shares granted under the Company Share Plans that was vested at or prior to the Effective Time and remained outstanding at the Effective Time (each, a “Vested Company Option”), will, in exchange therefor, be paid by the Surviving Company or one of its subsidiaries, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time pursuant to the Company’s ordinary payroll practices (but in any event no later than thirty business days after the closing date), a cash amount (without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes) equal to the product of (x) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Merger Consideration over the exercise price of such Vested Company Option and (y) the number of Shares underlying such Vested Company Option. Each such Vested Company Option with the exercise price per Share that was equal to or greater than the Per Share Merger Consideration was cancelled without any cash payment being made in respect thereof.

 

At the Effective Time, except as otherwise specified in the Merger Agreement, each Company Option that was not a Vested Company Option (each, an “Unvested Company Option”) was assumed by Holdco and converted into an option to purchase shares of common stock of Holdco. Each assumed Unvested Company Option will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Company Share Plan and applicable award agreement effective immediately prior to the Effective Time and the terms and conditions set forth in the award amendment pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

 

At the Effective Time, except as otherwise specified in the Merger Agreement, each Company RSU was assumed by the Holdco and converted into a restricted stock unit award with respect to a number of shares of common stock of Holdco, and such restricted stock unit award will be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Company RSUs immediately prior to the Effective Time and the terms and conditions set forth in the award amendment pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each independent director of the Company that holds Company Options and/or Company RSUs, whether vested or unvested, that were cancelled at the Effective Time will, except as otherwise agreed to in writing between such persons and Parent, in exchange therefor, be paid by the Surviving Company or one of its subsidiaries, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time pursuant to the Company’s ordinary payroll practices (but in any event no later than thirty business days after the closing date), a cash amount (without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes) determined as follows: (a) in the case of Company Options, the cash payment will be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions applicable to the Vested Company Options as set forth above, and (b) in the case of Company RSUs, the cash amount will be determined by multiplying the Per Share Merger Consideration by the number of Shares underlying such Company RSUs.

 

Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company RSU held by the Management Members became fully vested and the restrictions with respect thereto lapsed, and each such Company RSU was immediately settled into one Share. All such Shares were converted at the Effective Time into a number of shares of common stock of Holdco. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company Option held by the Management Members became fully vested and became a Vested Company Option. At the Effective Time, each such Vested Company Option was assumed by Holdco and converted into an option to purchase shares of common stock of Holdco. Except as otherwise specified in the Merger Agreement, each such option will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Company Share Plan and applicable award agreement effective immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the vesting terms that may have otherwise applied).

 

Each of the Other Rollover Shareholders will, except as otherwise agreed to in writing between such persons and Parent or otherwise specified in the Merger Agreement, in exchange for their Company Options and/or Company RSUs, be issued with an employee incentive award with respect to a number of shares of common stock of Holdco, to replace such Company Option and/or Company RSU. The replacement stock options granted in exchange for such Company Options will be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions applicable to the Unvested Company Options as set forth above, and the replacement restricted stock units granted in exchange for such Company RSUs will be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions applicable to the Company RSUs as set forth above. Each Vested Company Options held by such Rollover Shareholders with the exercise price that was equal to or greater than the Per Share Merger Consideration was cancelled for no consideration and any such Vested Company Options will not be entitled to the treatment of Vested Company Options contemplated in this paragraph. Such replacement stock options and replacement restricted stock units will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the award amendment pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

 

As a result of the Merger, the ADS program for the ADSs will terminate and the ADSs will no longer be listed on any securities exchange or quotation system, including Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”), and the Company will cease to be a publicly traded company. The Company has requested Nasdaq to file an application on Form 25 with the SEC to remove the ADSs from listing on Nasdaq and withdraw registration of the Company’s registered securities under the Exchange Act. The deregistration will become effective 90 days after the filing of Form 25 or such shorter period as may be determined by the SEC. The Company intends to suspend its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act by filing a certification and notice on Form 15 with the SEC. The Company’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act will be suspended immediately as of the filing date of the Form 15 and will terminate once the deregistration becomes effective.
