On February 4, 2011, Consumer Capital Group Inc. effected a reverse stock split (the “Stock Split”), as a result of which each 21.96 shares of Consumer Capital Group’s common stock then issued and outstanding was converted into one share of Mondas Minerals’ common stock.

 

Immediately prior to the merger, Consumer Capital Group, Inc. had 390,444,109 shares of its common stock issued and outstanding. In connection with the merger, Mondas Minerals issued 17,777,778 shares of its common stock in exchange for the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of CCG California. Immediately prior to the closing of the merger, there were 2,500,000 issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, 60% of which were held by the then principal stockholder, CEO, and sole director of the Company, Mr. Bengfort. As a part of the merger, CCG paid $335,000 in cash to Mr. Bengfort in exchange for his agreement to enter into various transaction agreements relating to the merger, as well as the cancellation of 1,388,889 shares of the Company’s common stock directly held by him, constituting 92.6% of his pre-merger holdings of common stock of the Company.

In order to comply with PRC laws and regulations which prohibit foreign control of companies involved in internet content, the Company operates its website using the licenses and permits held by Arki Network Service, a 100% PRC owned entity. The equity interests of Arki Network Service are legally held directly by Mr. Jianmin Gao and Mr. Fei Gao, shareholders and directors of the Company. The effective control of Arki Network Service is held by Arki Beijing and Arki Fuxin through a series of contractual arrangements (the “Contractual Agreements”). As a result of the Contractual Agreements, Arki Beijing and Arki Fuxin maintain the ability to control Arki Network Service, and are entitled to substantially all of its economic benefits and are obligated to absorb all of its losses. Therefore, the Company consolidates Arki Network Service as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in accordance with SEC Regulation SX-3A-02 and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, “Consolidation in accounting for a variable interest entity (“VIE”).”

The shareholders of Arki Network Service, namely Mr. Jianmin Gao and Mr. Fei Gao, entered into a loan agreement with Arki Fuxin on February 3, 2011. Under this loan agreement, Arki Fuxin granted an interest-free loan of RMB 1.0 million to Mr. Jianmin Gao and Mr. Fei Gao, collectively, for their capital contributions to Arki Network Service, as required by the PRC. The term of the loan is for ten years from the date of execution until the date when Arki Fuxin requests repayment. Arki Fuxin may request repayment of the loan with 30 days’ advance notice. The loan is not repayable at the discretion of the shareholders and is eliminated upon consolidation.

 

The shareholders of Arki Network Service entered into an option agreement with Arki Fuxin on February 3, 2011, under which the shareholders of Arki Network Service jointly and severally granted to Arki Fuxin an option to purchase their equity interests in Arki Network Service.

Arki Fuxin may exercise such option at any time until it has acquired all equity interests of Arki Network Service or freely transferred the option to any third party and such third party assumes the rights and obligations of the option agreement.

  

Arki Fuxin and Arki Network Service entered into an exclusive business cooperation agreement deemed effective on November 26, 2010, under which Arki Network Service engaged Arki Fuxin as its exclusive provider of technical support, consulting services, maintenance and other commercial services.

Arki Fuxin shall exclusively own any intellectual property arising from the performance of this agreement. This agreement has a term of ten years from the effective date and can only be terminated mutually by the parties in a written agreement. During the term of the agreement, Arki Network Service may not enter into any agreement with third parties for the provision of identical or similar service without the prior consent of Arki Fuxin.
