ITEM 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The disclosure under Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference. As discussed below, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each Ordinary Share will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration other than Exchange Shares, Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares. The approximate aggregate Merger Consideration is US$4,180,610.35 that will be funded by cash on hand of the Issuer.

 

ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction.

On June 8, 2016, an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) was signed by and among the Issuer, China Metro-Rural Investment Limited, a British Virgin Islands limited liability company (“Investment”), CMR Merger Sub Limited, a British Virgin Islands limited liability company (“Merger Sub”). Merger Sub is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Investment which, in turn, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer.

Under the Merger Agreement, each outstanding Ordinary Share will be converted into the right to receive US$1.03 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”), other than:

 

    Ordinary Shares held by certain persons specified in the Merger Agreement (“Exchange Shares”),

 

    Ordinary Shares held by the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries (“Excluded Shares”), and

 

    Ordinary Shares held by the Issuer’s shareholders who perfect dissenters’ rights under the BVI Business Companies Act (“Dissenting Shares”).

In addition, holders of outstanding Exchange Shares will receive one fully paid and non-assessable ordinary share of Investment for each Exchange Share, and holders of outstanding preferred shares, par value US$0.001 per share (“Preferred Shares”), of the Issuer will receive 31.91225 fully paid and non-assessable ordinary shares of Investment for each Preferred Share. Each Excluded Share will be cancelled at the effective time of the Merger (defined hereinafter).

In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Issuer, Ricky, Leung, Kind United, Kindfar, Zagat, Mr. Cheng Tai Po, the brother of Ricky (“Mr. Cheng”), and Cafoong Limited, a British Virgin Islands limited liability company (“Cafoong”), filed a Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 on June 8, 2016 (the “Schedule 13E-3”) to engage in a Rule 13e-3 transaction. The Schedule 13E-3 includes an Information Statement that further describes the Rule 13e-3 transaction.

No sooner than 20 calendar days after the Information Statement is first sent or mailed to the Issuer’s shareholders, Kind United and Cafoong, together the “Majority Shareholder,” will take action by written consent approving the Merger Agreement and the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer continuing as the surviving company (the “Merger”). Upon completion of the Merger, Investment will own 100% of the equity interests of the Issuer and the Issuer will have no other shareholders.

As of May 1, 2016, the Majority Shareholder is the beneficial owner of approximately 52.8% of the total combined voting power of the Issuer consisting of 37,338,104 Ordinary Shares, or approximately 50.1% of the Ordinary Shares, and 100,000 Preferred Shares, or 100% of the Preferred Shares.

SC 13D/A

 

 

 

As noted, the result of the Merger will be that:

 

    The holders of Ordinary Shares, other than holders of Exchange, Excluded and Dissenting Shares, will be cashed out at the Merger Consideration,

 

    The Ordinary Shares will not be listed on the NYSE MKT and no trading market will exist for these shares,

 

    The Issuer will have no unaffiliated security holders or public shareholders,

 

    The Issuer will be eligible to terminate, and intends to terminate, its Exchange Act reporting obligations,

 

    The Memorandum and Articles of Association of Merger Sub will become the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Issuer subject to certain exceptions, and

 

    Investment will become the sole shareholder and member of record of the Issuer.

In connection with the Merger, Ricky and the Issuer entered into a Written Consent and Waiver dated June 7, 2016 (the “2016 Bonds Consent”) with respect to US$5,000,000 and US$10,000,000 10% convertible bonds due 2016. Under the 2016 Bonds Consent, among other things, Ricky approved the Merger and Merger Agreement and the delisting of the Ordinary Shares from the NYSE MKT and waived rights for further listing of securities issued upon conversion of the 2016 Bonds. Further, Investment assumed certain obligations of the Issuer with respect to shares to be issued upon conversion of the 2016 Bonds. The Issuer, as the surviving company of the Merger, is still responsible for the performance of all obligations under the 2016 Bonds, including payment thereof.

Further, in connection with the Merger, Willis Plus and the Issuer entered into a Written Consent of the Majority Bondholder dated June 7, 2016 (the “2017 Bonds Consent”) with respect to the 2017 Bonds and a Written Consent and Waiver dated June 7, 2016 (the “Warrants Consent”) with respect to the Warrants. Under the 2017 Bonds Consent and Warrants Consent, among other things, Willis Plus approved the Merger and Merger Agreement and the delisting of the Ordinary Shares from the NYSE MKT and waived rights to further listing of securities issued upon conversion of the 2017 Bonds or exercise of the Warrants.

In connection with the 2017 Bonds and the Warrants, Willis Plus issued US$60,000,000 14 per cent. guaranteed secured convertible bonds due 2017 (the “PAG Bonds”) to PA Universal Opportunity VII Limited, a British Virgin Islands limited liability company (“PA Universal”), that were subsequently purchased by Ricky. In connection with the PAG Bonds, a certain Deed of Undertakings and Negative Pledge (“Deed of Undertakings”) was entered into among Willis Plus, Ricky, Mr. Leung and PA Universal that was subsequently assigned to Ricky when he purchased the PAG Bonds. Willis Plus and Ricky entered into a Written Consent and Waiver dated June 7, 2016 (the “PAG Bonds Consent”) with respect to the Deed of Undertakings. Under the PAG Bonds Consent, Ricky agreed to certain terms, among other things, including waiving certain undertakings regarding delisting the Ordinary Shares, consenting to the Merger and delisting, and approving of the delisting. Further, Ricky as the majority bondholder of the PAG Bonds took further action by written consent to approve the Merger and delisting among other actions (the “Majority Bondholder Consent”).

The 2016 Bonds Consent, 2017 Bonds Consent, Warrants Consent, PAG Bonds Consent and Majority Bondholder Consent are filed as exhibits to the Schedule 13E-3 and incorporated into this Amendment as exhibits 15 to 19 and are further incorporated into this Item 4 by reference. The foregoing description of these agreements is qualified in its entirety to the complete agreements filed as exhibits to the Schedule 13E-3.

Ricky owns 100% of Willis Plus. As a result, Ricky may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 98,837,132 Ordinary Shares held by Kind United and Willis Plus. In addition, Ricky owns 5,744,323 Ordinary Shares after buying shares from Kudos Limited in December 2013.

Mr. Leung is a member of the board of directors of Kind United and owns approximately 61.2% of Zagat which holds approximately 27.7% of the outstanding shares of Kind United.
