WHEREAS, each Seller is the registered owner of the number of issued and outstanding ordinary shares (“Ordinary Shares”) of Spreadtrum Communications, Inc., a company organized under the law of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), set forth opposite its name on Schedule 1.1 hereto (the “Sale Shares”); and
WHEREAS, Purchaser desires to purchase from each Seller, and each Seller desires to sell to Purchaser, the Sale Shares owned by that Seller pursuant to this Agreement and a Share Transfer Form, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Share Transfer Form”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual terms, conditions and other agreements set forth herein and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES
Section 1.1 Purchase and Sale of Shares.
(a) Purchase and Sale. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Purchaser shall purchase from each Seller, and each Seller shall sell to Purchaser, the Sale Shares owned by that Seller free and clear of any and all Encumbrances.
(b) Purchase Price. In consideration for the transfer of the Sale Shares, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, to each Seller an amount in cash equal to the amount set forth opposite that Seller’s name on Schedule 1.1 hereto (the “Purchase Price”), which represents a purchase price of $2.25 per Ordinary Share.
Section 1.2 Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) will take place at the Hong Kong office of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, legal counsel to Purchaser, or via facsimile and email on or about 10:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on March 17, 2010 (the “Closing Date”) unless another date or time is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto.
Section 1.3 Closing Deliveries.

 

 


 

(a) At the Closing, each Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Company a request to transfer to Purchaser the Sale Shares owned by such Seller, accompanied by (i) the original Share Transfer Form duly executed by each Seller evidencing the transfer to Purchaser of such Sale Shares and (ii) the original share certificate(s) representing such Sale Shares.
(b) At the Closing, each Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Purchaser (i) a copy of the original Share Transfer Form duly executed by each Seller evidencing the transfer to Purchaser of such Sale Shares, (ii) a copy of the Register of Members of the Company, certified as being true and correct by a director of the Company, showing Purchaser as the registered holder of the Sale Shares, and (iii) a duly executed copy of the Representation Letter.
(c) At the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver or cause to be delivered to each Seller (i) the Purchase Price owed to that Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account set forth opposite that Seller’s name on Schedule 1.1 hereto and (ii) a duly executed copy of the Representation Letter.
Section 1.4 Further Assurances. Each Seller shall take all necessary actions required to transfer the title to the Sale Shares that it owns, free and clear of any and all Encumbrances, to Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Section 1.5 Simultaneous Actions on the Closing Date. Purchaser shall not be obligated to complete the sale and purchase of any Sale Shares unless each Seller complies with all of its obligations under this Article I and the sale and purchase of all of the Sale Shares owned by each Seller is completed simultaneously.
Section 1.6 Withholding Taxes. Each Seller shall be liable for any withholding or similar taxes imposed on the purchase of the Sale Shares owned by such Seller (“Withholding Taxes”) and shall indemnify Purchaser for any tax liability (and any related interest, penalties, losses, costs and expenses and the costs and expenses of defending Purchaser in any related tax investigation or proceeding (including costs and expenses of counsels and tax advisors)) imposed on Purchaser as a result of Purchaser’s failure to withhold or deduct Withholding Taxes from the Purchase Price at the Closing. Each Seller shall promptly provide to Purchaser any information reasonably requested by Purchaser in order to comply with Tax reporting requirements of Purchaser in connection with the acquisition of the Sale Shares.
ARTICLE II

(a) Due Organization and Power. Such Seller is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the law of its jurisdiction of organization. Such Seller (A) has all requisite power and authority to own its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted and (B) is in good standing and is duly qualified to transact business in each jurisdiction in which it is required to be so qualified, except, in the case of clause (A) or (B), where the failure to have such power and authority or to be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impede the ability of such Seller to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Authority; Execution and Delivery; Enforceability. Such Seller has the requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Representation Letter and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery by such Seller of this Agreement and the Representation Letter and the performance by such Seller of its obligations hereunder and thereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Seller. Each of this Agreement and the Representation Letter has been duly executed and delivered by such Seller and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto, constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of such Seller, enforceable against such Seller in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar Laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) applicable to such Seller.
(c) Title to Shares. The number of Sale Shares being sold by such Seller is set forth opposite its name on Schedule 1.1 hereto. Such Seller has good and valid title to the Sale Shares that it owns, free and clear of any and all Encumbrances. The Sale Shares owned by such Seller were duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable, were issued in compliance with applicable Law and were not issued in violation of, or subject to, any preemptive, subscription or other similar rights of any other person. Upon the transfer of the Sale Shares owned by such Seller to Purchaser on the Closing Date in accordance with this Agreement, Purchaser will receive good and valid title to such Sale Shares, free and clear of any and all Encumbrances, other than those arising from the act, omission or condition of Purchaser or its Affiliates.
(d) No Approvals. The execution, delivery and performance by such Seller of this Agreement and the consummation by such Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby will not require any consent or approval of, or filing with or notice to, any Governmental Authority under any provision of Law applicable to such Seller.
Section 2.2 Representations and Warranties of Purchaser. Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Sellers as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date that:
(a) Due Organization and Power. Purchaser is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the law of the Cayman Islands. Purchaser (A) has all requisite corporate power and authority to own its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted and (B) is in good standing and is duly qualified to transact business in each jurisdiction in which it is required to be so qualified, except, in the case of clause (A) or (B), where the failure to have such power and authority or to be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impede the ability of Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Authorization and Validity of Agreement. Purchaser has the requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery by Purchaser of this Agreement and the performance by Purchaser of its obligations hereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Purchaser. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Purchaser and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto, constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of Purchaser, enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar Laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) applicable to Purchaser.
(c) No Approvals. The execution, delivery and performance by Purchaser of this Agreement and the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby will not require any consent or approval of, or filing with or notice to, any Governmental Authority under any provision of Law applicable to Purchaser.
(d) Investment. Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Purchaser is acquiring the Sale Shares for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof.
(e) No Registration. Purchaser understands that the Sale Shares being sold by Sellers have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or with any State or other jurisdiction of the United States, are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act and may not be reoffered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Purchaser understands that the availability of an exemption from registration provisions of the Securities Act with respect to Sellers’ sale of the Sale Shares to Purchaser hereunder depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Purchaser’s investment intent and the accuracy of Purchaser’s representations as expressed.
(f) Access to Information. Purchaser is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Sale Shares.
(g) Purchaser acknowledges that each Seller is an Affiliate of the Company and, in such capacity, may from time to time be in possession of certain information about the Company unknown to Purchaser (“Other Company Information”). To the fullest extent permitted by law, Purchaser hereby waives any and all claims, actions, proceedings, suits, judgments, liens and executions, relating to such Other Company Information and further agrees not to sue such Seller or any of its trustees, beneficiaries, agents, controlling persons, advisors or affiliates for any loss, damage or liability relating to such Other Company Information.
