All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented by adding the following:

 

On September 6, 2019, Baring (4) and Campus entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Oriental Eminent Ventures Limited and Infinite Victory Ventures Limited (together, the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions of the SPA, Baring (4) has agreed to sell 2,882,295 Class A Shares (including such shares in the form of ADSs) to the Purchasers and Campus agreed to sell 398,152 Class A Shares (including such shares in the form of ADSs) to the Purchasers, for an aggregate purchase price of $3,500,000.00 (the “Purchase Price”), subject to the terms of the SPA. The SPA provides that ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price be paid on the date of the execution of the SPA and twenty percent (20%) of the Purchase Price be paid ninety (90) calendar days after the date of the execution of the SPA (the “Second Payment Date”).

 

Provided that the Purchasers have complied with the terms of the SPA, on the Second Payment Date, 288,228 Class A Shares (including such shares in the form of ADSs) held by Baring (4) and 39,816 Class A Shares (including such shares in the form of ADSs) held by Campus will be transferred to the Purchasers.

 

Provided that the Purchasers have complied with the terms of the SPA, on the date that is 180 calendar days after the date of the execution of the SPA (the “Third Payment Date”), 2,594,067 Class A Shares (including such shares in the form of ADSs) held by Baring (4) and 358,336 Class A Shares (including such shares in the form of ADSs) held by Campus will be transferred to the Purchasers upon payment by the Purchasers of the remaining seventy percent (70%) of the Purchase Price. Following the Third Payment Date, Baring (4) and Campus will each hold zero Class A Shares (including in the form of ADSs). The information disclosed in this paragraph does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the SPA, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 7.11 and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

 

In connection with the SPA, Campus and Baring (4) entered into a Settlement Agreement with Dr. Huang and Spin-Rich, pursuant to which the Participation Agreement and the Campus Share Charge were terminated and the Campus Share Charge was released. The information disclosed in this paragraph does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Settlement Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 7.12 and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

 

Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Campus and Spin-Rich have entered into an amendment and restatement agreement (the “A&R Agreement”) to amend and restate the Spin-Rich Share Charge on September 9, 2019 (such amended and restated Spin-Rich Share Charge, being the “A&R Spin-Rich Share Charge”), whereby Spin-Rich entered into a charge over 84,734 Class C ordinary shares of the Issuer that it owns in favor of Campus to secure certain agreed secured obligations under the Settlement Agreement, in consideration of Campus’ agreement to enter into the Settlement Agreement. The information disclosed in this paragraph does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the A&R Agreement and the A&R Spin-Rich Share Charge, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 7.13 and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

13.1.                     No Partnership. The Parties expressly do not intend to form a partnership, either general or limited, under any jurisdiction’s partnership law. The Parties do not intend to be partners to each other, partners as to any third party, or create any fiduciary relationship among themselves, solely by virtue of transactions contemplated hereby or either Investor’s status as holder of the Sale Shares. The Sellers further acknowledge that neither Investor is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company or either Seller (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and neither Seller has received any advice given by either Investor or any of their respective representatives or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby except for the Investors Warranties set forth in Schedule 3 hereto.

 

13.2.                     Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented except by a written instrument executed by each of the Parties.

 

13.3.                     Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument signed by the Party waiving such provision. No failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of the same preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Without limiting the foregoing, no waiver by a Party of any breach by any other Party of any provision hereof shall be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of that or any other provision hereof.

 

13.4.                     Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the whole agreement among the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior agreements or understandings relating to such subject matter.

 

13.5.                     Severability. Each and every obligation under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate obligation and shall be severally enforceable as such and in the event of any obligation or obligations being or becoming unenforceable in whole or in part. To the extent that any provision or provisions of this Agreement are unenforceable they shall be deemed to be deleted from this Agreement, and any such deletion shall not affect the enforceability of such provisions of this Agreement as remain not so deleted.

 

16


 

13.6.                     Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts including counterparts transmitted by telecopier or facsimile, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which signed and taken together, shall constitute one document.

Each Party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other Party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

13.9.                     Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each Party shall be entitled to specific performance under this Agreement. The Parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by the non-defaulting Party by reason of any breach of obligations contained in this Agreement by them and agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would otherwise be adequate.

 

13.10.              Compliance with Laws. Each Party undertakes to comply with applicable disclosure requirements under applicable securities laws and rules of the stock exchanges having jurisdiction over such Party in connection with the execution and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b)                                 This clause shall not preclude Parties from seeking injunctive relief and/ or interim or provisional remedies from a court of competent jurisdiction in aid of arbitration, or pending the establishment of the arbitral tribunal or the arbitral tribunal’s determination of the Dispute.

 

(c)                                  The Parties agree that any award rendered by the arbitral tribunal may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.  The Parties undertake to carry out any award of the arbitral tribunal without delay, and waive their rights to refer any question of law and any rights of appeal on the law or the merits to a court of law or other judicial authority.  No party shall challenge or resist enforcement action taken by another party in whose favor any award is made by the arbitral tribunal.
