Re: Notice of Termination Pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(ii)

 

Dear Mr. Bing Zhang:

 

Reference is hereby made to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 11, 2022 by and among Cheers Inc., an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the Laws of the Cayman Islands (“Parent”), GSMG Ltd., an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the Laws of the Cayman Islands and a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and Glory Star New Media Group Holdings Limited, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the Laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”)(the “Merger Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to them in the Merger Agreement.

 

The Company hereby provides notice of termination pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(ii) based on Parent and Merger Sub’s breaches of the Merger Agreement, including, but not limited to, Section 7.2(a), which breaches have given rise to the failure of the conditions set forth in Section 8.3(b). These breaches are not capable of being cured prior to the Outside Date.

 

In light of the Company’s termination pursuant to Section 9.l(b)(ii), the Parent Termination Fee, as described in Section 9.2(b)(iv), is due and owing to the Company. If Parent fails to pay the Parent Termination Fee, Parent is responsible for paying all costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by the Company in connection with any action or proceeding (including the filing of any lawsuit) taken by it to collect the Parent Termination Fee, together with interest thereon on such unpaid amounts at the prime lending rate prevailing at such time, as published in the Wall Street Journal, from the date such amounts were required to be paid until the date actually received by the Company. See Merger Agreement, Section 9.2(d).

Re: Notice of Termination

 

Dear Mr. Ke Chen:

 

Reference is made to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 11, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and between Cheers Inc., an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Parent”), GSMG Ltd., an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and Glory Star New Media Group Holdings Limited, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”) (the “Merger Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to them in the Merger Agreement.

 

Reference is further made to that certain Notice of Termination Pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(ii) dated April 6, 2023 issued by the Company to us (the “Notice of Termination”).

 

We write in response to the Notice of Termination. While we also regret that the transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement cannot be completed as previously contemplated, we disagree with the allegations made in the Notice of Termination.

 

Nonetheless, in the interest of good faith and cooperation, Parent acknowledges that the Company can terminate the Merger Agreement under Section 9.1(h) of the Merger Agreement and thus agrees to pay the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to Section 9.2(b)(iv) of the Merger Agreement on that basis.

 

This notice is without prejudice to any rights or remedies that Parent and Merger Sub may have under the Merger Agreement, at law, in equity or otherwise. Nothing in this notice and nothing done pursuant to this notice shall be construed as constituting an admission of any liability or breach whatsoever by Parent, Merger Sub or any other person in relation to the Transactions, including the Merger.
