ITEM 2IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

 

(a)-(f).

Except as expressly otherwise set forth in this statement, each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the other Reporting Person or any other person. The agreement between the Reporting Persons relating to the joint filing of this statement is attached hereto as Exhibit 7.01. Information with respect to each of the Reporting Persons is given solely by such Reporting Person, and no Reporting Person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the information concerning the other Reporting Persons, except as otherwise provided in Rule 13d-1(k).

ITEM 3SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

 

The Reporting Persons anticipate that approximately US$27.3 million will be expended in acquiring 6,347,738 outstanding Ordinary Shares owned by shareholders of the Company other than the Reporting Persons (the “Publicly Held Shares”). This amount excludes (a) the estimated funds required by the Reporting Persons to pay for the outstanding options to purchase Ordinary Shares, and (b) the estimated transaction costs associated with the purchase of the Publicly Held Shares.

 

Page 4 of 9
 

 

The Reporting Persons intend to finance the Proposed Transaction (as outlined in Item 4 below) with a combination of debt and equity capital. The Reporting Persons are in preliminary discussions with potential sources that have expressed interest in providing financing to them.

 

ITEM 4PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

 

On April 1, 2012, Mr. Li, submitted a preliminary non-binding proposal (the “Proposal”) to the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) for the acquisition of all of the Publicly Held Shares (the “Proposed Transaction”).

 

In the Proposal, Mr. Li proposed to acquire all of the Publicly Held Shares, for $4.30 per Ordinary Share, which represents a premium of approximately 40.1% to the volume-weighted average closing price during the last 90 trading days and a premium of approximately 26.5 % to the Company’s closing price on March 30, 2012.

 

Mr. Li intends to finance the Proposed Transaction with a combination of debt and equity capital. Mr. Li is in preliminary discussions with potential sources that have expressed interest in providing financing to them.

 

Mr. Li also indicated in the Proposal that he is prepared to negotiate and finalize the terms of the Proposed Transaction in definitive transaction documents, which will provide for covenants and conditions typical and appropriate for transactions of this type.

 

If the Proposed Transaction is completed, the Ordinary Shares would become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Act and would be delisted from the NASDAQ Stock Exchange.

 

The foregoing summary of certain provisions of the Proposal is not intended to be complete. The foregoing summary of certain provisions of the Proposal is not intended to be complete. References to the Proposal in this Schedule 13D are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Proposal itself, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 7.02 and incorporated herein by reference as if set forth in its entirety.

 

Except as indicated above and elsewhere herein, none of the Reporting Persons have any present plan or proposal that relates to or would result in any other action specified in clauses (a) through (j) of the instructions to Item 4 on Schedule 13D (although they reserve the right to develop such plan or proposal).

 

ITEM 5INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

 

(a) – (b)            Mr. Li has sole voting and dispositive power over 13,513,569 Common Stock. Ms. Tse has sole voting and dispositive power over 4,510,565 Common Stock. By virtue of the above, they may both therefore be deemed to beneficially hold an aggregate of 18,024,134 shares of Common Stock, or 73.95% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

(c)            Except as described above, the Reporting Persons did not effect any transactions in the issuer’s securities within the past 60 days.

PROPOSAL LETTER

 

April 1, 2012

 

Board of Directors

Winner Medical Group Inc.

Winner Industrial Park, Bulong Road

Longhua, Shenzhen

China 518109

 

Dear Sirs:

 

I, Jianquan Li, am pleased to submit this preliminary non-binding proposal (the “Proposal”) to acquire all of the common stock of Winner Medical Group Inc. (the “Company”) that are not currently owned by me or my wife Ms. Ping Tse in a going-private transaction (the “Acquisition”).

 

I believe that my proposal of $4.30 in cash per share of common stock of the Company, will provide a very attractive alternative to the Company’s public stockholders. My proposal represents a premium of approximately 40.1% to the volume-weighted average closing price during the last 90 trading days and a premium of approximately 26.5% to the Company’s closing price on March 30, 2012.

 

The terms and conditions upon which I am prepared to pursue the Acquisition are set forth below. I am confident that an Acquisition can be closed on the basis as outlined in this letter.

 

1.Purchase Price.

 

The consideration payable for each share of common stock of the Company (other than those held by me and my wife) will be $4.30 in cash.

 

2.Financing.  

 

I intend to finance the Transaction with a combination of debt and equity capital.

 

a.           Debt Financing.  I have held preliminary discussions with potential sources of debt financing, and expect to secure commitments for the debt financing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, when the Definitive Agreements (as defined below) are executed.

 

b.          Equity Financing.  Equity financing would be provided from my existing holdings of common stock.  I have also held preliminary discussions with certain stockholders of the Company and other potential sources of equity financing, and may make agreements with them relating to possible investments in the Acquisition.

 

At this time there is no arrangement whatsoever with any stockholder of the Company or potential source of debt or equity financing for the Acquisition, and I do not propose to make any commitment prior to reaching transaction terms approved by the board of directors of the Company.  

 

3.Due Diligence.

 

Parties providing financing will require a timely opportunity to conduct customary due diligence on the Company. I would like to ask the board of directors of the Company to accommodate such due diligence request and approve the provision of confidential information relating to the Company and its business to possible sources of equity and debt financing under a customary form of confidentiality agreement.

Private & Confidential

 

4.Definitive Agreements.

 

I am prepared to negotiate and finalize definitive agreements (the “Definitive Agreements”) providing for the Acquisition and related transactions very promptly. These documents will provide for covenants and conditions typical and appropriate for transactions of this type.

 

5.Confidentiality.

 

My wife and I intend to jointly and promptly file a Schedule 13D to disclose this Proposal and my intention as discussed with the board of directors of the Company.  However, I am sure you will agree that it is in all of our interests to proceed in a confidential manner, other than as required by law, until definitive agreements providing for a transaction have been executed or we have terminated our discussions.

 

6.Process.

 

I believe that the Acquisition will provide superior value to the Company’s public stockholders. I recognize that the board of directors of the Company will evaluate the Proposal independently before it can make its determination to endorse the Acquisition. Given my involvement in the proposed Acquisition, I also recognize that independent members of the Board will proceed to consider the proposed Acquisition. In considering my offer, you should be aware that I am interested only in acquiring the common stock of the Company that I and my wife do not already own, and that we do not intend to sell my stake in the Company to a third party.

 

7.Advisors.   

 

I have retained Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP as my legal counsel in connection with the Proposal and the Acquisition.

 

8.No Binding Commitment.  

 

This Proposal does not constitute any binding commitment with respect to the Acquisition or any other transaction.  Any commitment will result only from the execution of Definitive Agreements, and then will be on the terms provided in such documentation.

 

In closing, I would like to personally express my sincerity to work with the board of directors of the Company to bring this Acquisition to a successful and timely conclusion.  Should you have any questions regarding these matters, please do not hesitate to contact me.

 

  Sincerely,
   
  /s/ Jianquan Li
  Jianquan Li
