7. Transfer of Shares

 

7.1 Any transfer of shares must first be subject to the approval of the majority of the directors by a resolution, and then the relevant transferee of such shares can become a shareholder. In addition, if any shareholder transfers its shares in accordance with the provisions of the terms hereof, the relevant transferee of such shares must:

 



 

(a)         Execute appropriate legal instruments to undertake to be bound by this Agreement, as if such transferee was an original contracting party hereto;

 

(b)         Purchase all shareholder loans (if any) provided to the Company by the transferor; and

 

(c)          Provide relevant creditors with all guaranties or mortgages (if any) to ensure the repayments of the debts of the Company in place of the transferor, provided that the relevant creditors consent to such arrangement.

(a)         Any corporate shareholder transfers all or part of its shares to one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries or a wholly-owned subsidiary of its ultimate holding company, provided that if such transferee ceases to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the foregoing transferor or its ultimate holding company, relevant shares shall be immediately transferred back to the foregoing transferor;

 

(b)         Any shareholder exercises the powers conferred under Article 7.3 and purchases shares from other shareholders in accordance with the provisions of Article 7.5; and

 

(c)          Any shareholder transfers its shares to other shareholders or any third party according to the provisions of Article 7.4.

 

7.3 (a)        If any shareholder commits the breaches of Article 9 hereof, any non-breaching shareholder shall be entitled to give a written notice (“Share Purchase Notice”) to such breaching shareholder (with a copy to the Board of Directors) within 30 days upon occurrence of such breaches, demanding purchasing all or part of the shares of such breaching shareholder, which must sell its shares in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph. In case any non-breaching shareholder fails to exercise the foregoing share purchase right prior to the expiry of such 30-day period, such share purchase right shall become invalid and shall no longer have any force.

 

(b)         In case the shareholder intending to exercise such share purchase right (referred to the “Buyer” in this Paragraph) fails to agree with the breaching shareholder on the transfer price of the relevant shares within 14 days upon issuance of the Share Purchase Notice, both the Buyer and the breaching shareholder must immediately notify the Board of Directors and request the Board to retain the then auditor of the Company, on their behalf, to determine and prove within 14 days in writing, such amount of the fair value of the relevant shares on the date of the Share Purchase Notice of the Buyer as the auditor deems appropriate.

 

Upon receipt of the notification of the Buyer and/or the breaching shareholder, the Board of Directors shall immediately retain such auditor to determine the amount of the fair value of relevant shares in accordance with the preceding

 


 

provision. The Buyer and the breaching shareholder must accept the amount determined and proven in such manner as the transfer price of the relevant shares. Such auditor shall serve as an expert rather than an arbitrator as regards the matters described in this Paragraph, and his decision is final and binding upon the shareholders. The costs incurred in connection with the determination of the fair value shall be solely borne by the breaching shareholder. For the purposes of this Paragraph, the fair value of relevant shares shall be 90% of the net asset value of the relevant shares as determined according to the accounting principles adopted by the Company on the date of the Buyer’s Share Purchase Notice (referred to as “Designated Price” in this Paragraph).

 

(c)               Any share transfer to be conducted between two shareholders under Article 7.4 must be completed according to Article 7.6 after the parties agree upon the transfer price or the auditor determines the Designated Price.

 

7.4 (a)        Except under the circumstances of Article 7.3, if any shareholder (referred to as “Transferor”) intends to transfer or sell its shares or any interest in its shares, such shareholder must sends a written notice (“Transfer Notice”) to the Board of Directors, specifying the above shares or interests to be transferred and listing the transfer price per share and the number of shares to be transferred. Such Transfer Notice turns the Board of Directors into an agent of the Transferor in order to sell to any shareholder the shares described in the Transfer Notice. Except with the approval of the all the other shareholders, the Transferor may not withdraw the Transfer Notice.

 

(b)              If, within 30 days upon receipt by the Board of the Transfer Notice, none of the other shareholders is willing to accept the transferred shares at the transfer price proposed by the Transferor or the price otherwise agreed by the parties, or the number of shares other shareholders agree to accept is less than that of the transferred shares, the status of the Board as the agent of the Transferor will expire automatically, and the Transferor may sell the portion of its shares not accepted by other shareholders to any third party other than the shareholders, subject to the following conditions:

 

(i)                 The Transferor may not transfer the shares to such third party at more favorable conditions (and the transfer price may not be lower than that set forth in the Transfer Notice), and

 

(ii)              The transfer of relevant shares and the related persons must comply with the provisions of Article 7.1.

 

7.5 (a)        Subject to the provisions of Articles 7.3 and 7.4, if relevant shareholders (referred to as “Subscribing Shareholders” in this Paragraph) subscribe for all or part of the shares, the Board of Director must notify the Transferor of the relevant shares, specifying the place and date of transaction (no less than 7 days but not more than 28 days from the day next to the notification date). In

 



 

the event that the total number of shares subscribed for by such Subscribing Shareholders exceeds the number of the shares sold by the Transferor, the number of sold shares to be allotted to each Subscribing Shareholder will be determined according to the shareholding proportions of such Subscribing Shareholders in the Company.

 

(b)              The Transferor must sell the number of sold shares that have been subscribed for (along with all accessory rights but free of all mortgages, debts and encumbrances) at prescribed time and place and deliver the price to the Board of Directors (as the agent of the proposed seller). If the proposed seller refuses to transfer the shares that have been subscribed for, any person appointed by the Board shall have the right to execute all documents related to the sold shares on behalf of the proposed seller. The selling price, net of the costs and expenses to be borne by the proposed seller as well as any debt owed by the proposed seller to the Company, shall be delivered to the proposed seller.

 

7.6          The shareholder must cause the director(s) nominated by it to resign after selling its shares.

 

7.7          When the Board of Directors makes a resolution regarding any share transfer pursuant to the provisions hereof, the director(s) nominated by the relevant shareholders must avoid participating in the vote.

 

7.8          Tag-along Rights

 

(a)                   In case the transferred shares are not accepted by other shareholders (referred to as “Engaged Parties” in this Paragraph) under Article 7.4, the Engaged Parties shall have the right to follow the Transferor to sell the transferred shares to any third party according to the terms of the Transfer Notice issued by the Transferor and Article 7.4. Within 30 days upon receipt of the Transfer Notice, each of the Engaged Parties needs to notify the Transferor in writing of its intention to exercise the Tag-along Rights and list the number of shares that such Engaged Party intends to sell to such third party. Upon completion of the share transfer, such Engaged Party needs to deliver to such third party the share certificates, transfer deeds and other necessary documents of the all sold shares, while the Transferor needs to cause such third party to pay such Engaged Party the transfer price based on the proportion occupied by such Engaged Party in the transferred shares.

 

(b)                   The number of the shares that each Engaged Party has the Tag-along Rights to sell may not less than

 

(i)                       The number of transferred shares, multiplied by

 

(ii)                    A fraction (the numerator is the number of the shares held by the Engaged Party, and the denominator is the number of shares held by the Transferor and all the Engaged Parties as at the date when the Transfer Notice is issued).

 



 

If there is any change in the number of the shares that such third party intends to purchase, the number of transferred shares in (i) hereinabove shall be replaced by the number of shares that such third party intends to purchase.

 

(c)                  In case such third party refuses to purchase shares from the Engaged Parties exercising the Tag-along Rights under this Article 7.8, the Transferor may not sell any shares to such third party, except that the Transferor purchases from the Engaged Parties the number of shares that such Engaged Parties intend to sell to such third party according to the terms of the Transfer Notice.

 

(d)                 The Engaged Parties’ exercise of or failure to exercise their Tag-along Rights under this Article 7.8 with respect to certain transferred shares shall not affect the tag-rights of such Engaged Parties with respect to the transferred shares in the future.

(iii)                 Effectuate the Drag-along sale through sincere cooperation.

(ii)                    A fraction (the enumerator is the number of shares to be sold by the Majority Shareholder, and the denominator is the number of all the shares held by the Majority Shareholder).
