On May 21, 2013, Ms. Na Lai Chiu (“Chiu”), Mr. Shing Yung Ma (“Ma”), Valuetrue Investments Limited (“Valuetrue”), Grow Grand Limited (“Grow Grand”) and SC China Holdings Limited, on behalf of funds managed and/or advised by it and its and their affiliates (“Sequoia” and, together with Chiu, Ma, Valuetrue and Grow Grand, the “Initial Consortium”), submitted a preliminary, non-binding letter (the “Letter”) to the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Board”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 7.03.  In the Letter, the Initial Consortium outlined its proposal (“Proposal”) for the Transaction (as defined below).  Under the Proposal, members of the Initial Consortium proposed to acquire, through an acquisition vehicle to be formed by them, all of the outstanding share capital of the Issuer (other than the Shareholder Shares (as defined below), which will be rolled over in connection with the Transaction, and any other shares that will be rolled over in connection with the Transaction) for US$4.01 in cash per American Depository Share (“ADS”) of the Issuer, or US$0.0802 in cash per Share, as the case may be.  In the Proposal, the Initial Consortium stated that it had held discussions with financial institutions that have expressed interests in providing financing in connection with the Transaction.  The Proposal also provided that, among other things, (a) the Initial Consortium’s financing providers will need to conduct customary legal, financial and accounting due diligence on the Issuer, and (b) the Initial Consortium will negotiate with the Issuer to agree on, and enter into, definitive agreements with respect to the Transaction.  In the Proposal, members of the Initial Consortium also stated that they expect that the Board will evaluate the Proposal independently through a committee of independent directors of the Board.

 

On May 21, 2013, in connection with the Proposal, the Initial Consortium entered into a consortium agreement (the “Consortium Agreement”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 7.02. Pursuant to the Consortium Agreement, the Initial Consortium will cooperate in good faith in connection with the Proposal to acquire all of the outstanding share capital of the Issuer through a going-private transaction (the “Transaction”) other than those shares beneficially owned by the members of the Initial Consortium (the “Shareholder Shares”) or that will be rolled over by other shareholders in connection with the proposed Transaction.  The Consortium Agreement provides, among other things, for coordination in (i) performing due diligence, (ii) structuring and negotiating the Transaction and, if applicable, entering into definitive agreements with respect to the Transaction, and (iii) engaging advisors and sharing certain expenses.  During the period beginning on the date of the Consortium Agreement and ending on the earlier of (a) the one year anniversary of the date of the Consortium Agreement, and (b) the termination of the Consortium Agreement, members of the Initial Consortium have agreed (i) to work exclusively with each other with respect to the Transaction, (ii) not to sell, pledge, encumber or otherwise transfer the Shareholder Shares except as contemplated by the Consortium Agreement, (iii) not to enter into any voting agreement with respect to the Shareholder Shares in support of a competing proposal, and (iv) to vote their respective Shareholder Shares against any competing proposal or matter that would facilitate a competing proposal and in favor of the Transaction.

On March 18, 2014, the Initial Consortium, along with Yiheng Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, on behalf of funds managed and/or advised by it and its and their affiliates (“Yiheng” and, together with the Initial Consortium, the “Consortium”) entered into an amended and restated consortium agreement (the “Restated Consortium Agreement”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 7.04, pursuant to which the Consortium Agreement was amended and restated in its entirety on substantially the same terms as the Consortium Agreement to provide for, among other things:

 

(i) the inclusion of Yiheng as a member of the Consortium in connection with the Proposal to pursue the Transaction, including Yiheng’s agreement to roll over all Shares which it owns (together with all Shares owned by the other members of the Consortium, the “Shareholder Shares”), and to provide certain equity financing in connection with the Transaction; and

 

(ii) the extension of the exclusivity period to November 21, 2014 (unless the Restated Consortium Agreement is terminated prior to such date), during which members of the Consortium have agreed (a) to work exclusively with each other with respect to the Transaction, (b) not to sell, pledge, encumber or otherwise transfer the Shareholder Shares except as contemplated by the Restated Consortium Agreement, (c) not to enter into any voting agreement with respect to the Shareholder Shares in support of a competing proposal, and (d) to vote their respective Shareholder Shares against any competing proposal or matter that would facilitate a competing proposal and in favor of the Transaction.

 

On July 30, 2014, the Issuer announced in a press release that it had entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) among the Issuer, Harvest Parent Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Parent”), and Harvest Merger Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), subject to the terms and conditions thereof, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”), with the Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 7.05.

 

The Transaction will be funded through a combination of (i) the proceeds from a committed and underwritten loan facility contemplated by a facility agreement, dated as of July 30, 2014 (the “Facility Agreement”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 7.06, by and among Parent, Merger Sub, Harvest Holdings Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and the sole shareholder of Parent (“Holdco”), China Minsheng Banking Corp., Ltd., Hong Kong Branch, as lender (the “Lender”), (ii) cash contributions contemplated by an equity commitment letter, dated as of July 30, 2014 (the “Equity Commitment Letter”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 7.07, by and between Holdco and Yiheng, and (iii) cash in the Issuer and its subsidiaries. Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Facility Agreement, the Lender and Merger Sub have entered into a term loan facility whereby the Lender has agreed to provide up to US$30 million in principal amount for Merger Sub to consummate the Merger. Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Equity Commitment Letter, Yiheng will provide equity financing in an aggregate amount of US$15 million to Holdco to consummate the Merger.

 

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Reporting Persons, the Consortium (either directly or through entities managed or controlled by them), and certain other shareholders of the Issuer (collectively, the “Rollover Shareholders”) entered into a rollover and support agreement, dated as of July 30, 2014 (the “Support Agreement”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 7.08, with Parent and Holdco providing that (a) they will vote all of the Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs) owned directly or indirectly by them in favor of the authorization and approval of the Merger Agreement and the Transaction, including the Merger, and (b) the Rollover Shares will, in connection with and at the effective time of the Merger, be cancelled for no consideration.

 

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each Share, including Shares represented by ADSs, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be cancelled in consideration for the right to receive US$0.0812 per Share or US$4.06 per ADS, in each case, in cash, without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes, except for (a) 1,752,477,450 Shares held by the Rollover Shareholders (the “Rollover Shares”) and the Shares held by Parent, the Issuer or any of their subsidiaries immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, which will be cancelled without payment of any consideration or distribution therefor, and (b) Shares held by shareholders who shall have validly exercised and not effectively withdrawn or lost their right to dissent from the Merger, which will be cancelled and will entitle the former holders thereof to receive the fair value thereon in accordance with such holder’s dissenters’ rights under the Cayman Islands Companies Law. The Merger is subject to the approval of the Issuer’s shareholders and various other closing conditions.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Chiu, Valuetrue, Ma, Grow Grand, Sequoia and Yiheng entered into an agreement, dated as of July 30, 2014 (the “Interim Investors Agreement”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 7.09, with Holdco, Parent and Merger Sub, pursuant to which the parties thereto agreed to certain terms and conditions that will govern the actions of Holdco, Parent and Merger Sub and the relationship among the members of the Consortium with respect to the Transaction.

 

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, each of (i) Valuetrue, (ii) Grow Grand, (iii) Sequoia Capital China I, L.P., Sequoia Capital China Partners Fund I, L.P., Sequoia Capital China Principals Fund I, L.P., Sequoia Capital China Growth Fund I, L.P., Sequoia Capital China Growth Partners Fund I, L.P. and Sequoia Capital China GF Principals Fund I, L.P. (collectively, the “Sequoia Funds”), and (iv) Yiheng, executed and delivered a limited guarantee, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 7.10 through 7.13 (each a “Limited Guarantee” and collectively the “Limited Guarantees”), in favor of the Issuer with respect to the payment obligations of Parent under the Merger Agreement for the termination fee that may become payable to the Issuer by Parent under certain circumstances, as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

 

Following the consummation of the Merger, the Issuer will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco. In addition, if the Merger is consummated, the Issuer’s ADSs would become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act, the ADSs would be delisted from the NASDAQ Global Select Market, the Issuer’s obligations to file periodic report under the Exchange Act would be terminated, and the Issuer will be privately held by the members of the Consortium and the other Rollover Shareholders.
