INTRODUCTION

 

This statement on Schedule 13D/A (the “Statement”) amends the Schedule 13D previously filed by Perfect World Co., Ltd. (the “Reporting Person”) with the SEC on April 24, 2014, as amended and supplemented by the Amendment No. 1 filed by the Reporting Person on April 28, 2014 and the Amendment No. 2 filed by the Reporting Person on May 19, 2014 (the “Original 13D”) with respect to Shanda Games Limited (the “Issuer”). Except as amended and supplemented herein, the information set forth in the Original 13D remains unchanged. Capitalized terms used herein without definition have meanings assigned thereto in the Original 13D.

 

Item 4.           Purpose of Transaction:

 

Item 4 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

On January 27, 2014, Shanda Interactive Entertainment Limited (“Shanda Interactive”) and Primavera Capital (Cayman) Fund I L.P. (the “Primavera,” together with Shanda Interactive, the “Consortium” and each member in the Consortium, a “Consortium Member”) entered into a consortium agreement (the “Consortium Agreement”). Under the Consortium Agreement, the Consortium Members agreed, among other things, (i) to jointly deliver a preliminary non-binding proposal (the “Proposal”) to the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) to acquire the Issuer in a going private transaction (the “Transaction”), (ii) to deal exclusively with each other with respect to the Transaction until the earlier of (x) 9 months after the date thereof, and (y) termination of the Consortium Agreement by all Consortium Members, (iii) to use their reasonable efforts and cooperate in good faith to arrange debt financing to support the Transaction, and (iv) to cooperate and proceed in good faith to negotiate and consummate the Transaction.

 

On April 18, 2014, SDG and the Reporting Person entered into the PW Share Purchase Agreement pursuant to which SDG agreed to sell, and the Reporting Person agreed to purchase, 30,326,005 Class A Ordinary Shares (the “PW Purchase Shares”) at US$3.2975 per Class A Ordinary Share (the “PW Purchase Price”) subject to the terms and conditions thereof. Pursuant to the PW Share Purchase Agreement, if (i) a going-private transaction occurs within one year of the closing date of the sale of PW Purchase Shares where the Reporting Person is part of the buyer consortium and the price per share in the going-private transaction (the “Going-private Price”) is higher than the PW Purchase Price, or (ii) a going-private transaction occurs within one year of the closing date of the sale of PW Purchase Shares where the Reporting Person is not part of the buyer consortium solely due to its own decision or election without SDG’s written consent and the Going-private Price is higher than the PW Purchase Price, the Reporting Person shall pay SDG the shortfall between the PW Purchase Price and the Going-private Price with respect to all PW Purchase Shares.  Pursuant to the PW Share Purchase Agreement, if a going-private transaction is not consummated within one year of the closing date of the sale of PW Purchase Shares solely due to SDG’s failure to vote in favor of such going-private transaction, SDG shall pay to the Reporting Person an amount equal to the PW Purchase Price in exchange for the PW Purchase Shares. The purchase and sale of the PW Purchase Shares was completed on May 16, 2014.

 

Concurrently with the execution of the PW Share Purchase Agreement, Shanda Interactive, Primavera and the Reporting Person entered into an adherence agreement (the “PW Adherence Agreement”), pursuant to which the Reporting Person became a party to the Consortium Agreement and joined the Consortium.

 

On September 1, 2014, the Reporting Person, Shanghai Buyout Fund L.P. (the “Purchaser”) and Primavera Capital (Cayman) Fund I L.P. entered into a share purchase agreement (the “New Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Reporting Person agreed to sell, and the Purchaser agreed to purchase, 30,326,005 Class A Ordinary Shares (the “PW Sales Shares”) at US$3.45 per Class A Ordinary Share (the “PW Sale Price”) subject to the terms and conditions thereof.

Concurrently with the execution of the New Purchase Agreement, the Reporting Person and certain other parties executed a consortium withdrawal notice (the “Notice”) and a consent and release (the “Consent”), pursuant to which the Reporting Person ceased to be a party to the Consortium Agreement and the Consortium, and all remaining obligations of the Reporting Person and its affiliates under the PW Share Purchase Agreement shall automatically terminate. As a result, the Reporting Person shall no longer be liable to any other withdrawing party or any remaining party to the Consortium Agreement under or in relation to such agreement, prior to, on or after September 1, 2014, and the Reporting Person shall be released, waived and discharged from any and all actions, causes of action, suits, or any other claims of similar kind or nature, arising out of or relating to the PW Share Purchase Agreement, upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the New Purchase Agreement.

 

Descriptions of the Proposal, the Consortium Agreement, the PW Share Purchase Agreement, the PW Adherence Agreement, the New Purchase Agreement, the Notice and the Consent in this Statement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Proposal, the Consortium Agreement, the PW Share Purchase Agreement, the PW Adherence Agreement, the New Purchase Agreement, the Notice and the Consent, which are filed hereto as Exhibits 7.01, 7.02, 7.03, 7.04, 7.05, 7.06 and 7.07, and incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

Each Class A Ordinary Share is entitled to one vote per share and is not convertible into Class B Ordinary Shares. Each Class B Ordinary Share is entitled to 10 votes per share and is convertible at any time into one Class A Ordinary Share at the election of its holder. As of the date hereof, the Reporting Person holds 30,326,005 Class A Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 16.2% of the Class A Ordinary Shares of the Issuer outstanding as of September 1, 2014, or approximately 5.6% of the combined total outstanding shares (including Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares) of the Issuer.

 

(c) Except as set forth Items 3 and 4, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Person with respect to the persons named in response to Item 5(a), none of the persons named in response to Item 5(a) has effected any transactions in the shares of the Issuer during the past 60 days.

2. PURCHASER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

The Purchaser makes the following representations and warranties to each of the Sellers, each and all of which shall be true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date:

 

2.1 Authority; Binding Effect. The Purchaser has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Purchaser and (assuming the due execution and delivery thereof by the Sellers) constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms.

 

 

2.2 No Conflicts. Except as would not have a material impact on the Purchaser’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and compliance by the Purchaser with its obligations hereunder do not, whether with or without the giving of notice or passage of time or both, conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any tax, lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Purchaser pursuant to any contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan or credit agreement, note, license, lease or other agreement or instrument to which the Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser is bound, or to which any of the property or assets of the Purchaser is subject, nor does such action result in any violation of the provisions of Organizational Documents of the Purchaser or any applicable treaty, law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ or decree of any government, government instrumentality or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Purchaser or any of its property or assets.

 

2.3 No Consents. No filing with, or consent, approval, authorization, order, registration, qualification or decree of, any court or governmental authority or agency, of any country or nation, is necessary or required for entry into this Agreement by the Purchaser or the performance by the Purchaser of its obligations hereunder.

 

2.4 Purchase for Investment. The Purchaser is acquiring the Sale Shares for investment for its own account and not with a view toward any resale or distribution thereof except in compliance with the Securities Act. The Purchaser does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to any person with respect to the Sale Shares. The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that the Sale Shares have not been registered pursuant to the Securities Act and may not be transferred in the absence of such registration thereunder or an exemption therefrom.

 

2.5 Purchaser Status. The Purchaser is either (i) not a U.S. Person (as defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act) or (ii) an “accredited investor” within the meaning in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Such Investor has the knowledge, sophistication and experience necessary to make an investment decision like that involved in the purchase of the Sale Shares and can bear the economic risk of its investment in the Sale Shares.

 

2.6 Access. The Purchaser has and had access to such reports, statements and announcements publicly released or published by the Issuer as shall have been reasonably necessary for the Purchaser to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to enable the Purchaser to make an informed decision with respect to the Purchaser’s purchase of the Sale Shares. The Purchaser is a sophisticated investor and has independently evaluated the merits of its decision to purchase the Sale Shares pursuant to this Agreement. In connection with such purchase, the Purchaser is not relying on the Seller or any of its affiliates or representatives (including any act, representation or warranty by the Seller or any of its affiliates or representatives) in any respect in making its decision to make such purchase except for such representations and warranties of the Seller made under Section 3 below.

 

 

3. SELLERS’ REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

3.1 Authority; Binding Effect. The Seller has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder.

3.2 Ownership and Transfer. The Seller has valid title to the Sale Shares set forth below its name on Schedule I hereto, free and clear of all security interests, claims, liens, equities or other encumbrances (collectively, “Liens”).

3.3 Litigation. There is no legal proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Seller, threatened, against the Seller or to which the Seller is otherwise a party relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

3.4 No Conflicts.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the sale and delivery of such Seller’s Sale Shares by the Seller and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and compliance by the Seller with its obligations hereunder do not, whether with or without the giving of notice or passage of time or both, conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any tax, lien, charge or encumbrance upon such Sale Shares or any property or assets of the Seller pursuant to any contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan or credit agreement, note, license, lease or any other agreement or instrument to which the Seller is a party or by which the Seller is bound, or to which any of the property or assets of the Seller is subject, nor does such action result in any violation of the provisions of Organizational Documents of the Seller or any applicable treaty, law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ or decree of any government, government instrumentality or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Seller or any of its property or assets.

 

3.5 No Consents. No filing with, or consent, approval, authorization, order, registration, qualification or decree of, any court or governmental authority or agency, of any country or nation, is necessary or required for the performance by the Seller of its obligations hereunder, or in connection with the sale and delivery of such Seller’s Sale Shares hereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

 

6.9 Dispute Resolution.

 

(a) Subject to Section 6.9(b), any disputes, actions and proceedings against any Party or arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement shall be submitted to the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (“HKIAC”) and resolved in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of HKIAC in force at the relevant time and as may be amended by this Section 6.9. The place of arbitration shall be Hong Kong. The official language of the arbitration shall be English and the tribunal shall consist of three arbitrators (each, an “Arbitrator”). The claimant(s), irrespective of number, shall nominate jointly one Arbitrator; the respondent(s), irrespective of number, shall nominate jointly one Arbitrator; and a third Arbitrator will be nominated jointly by the first two Arbitrators and shall serve as chairman of the Tribunal. In the event the claimant(s) or respondent(s) or the first two Arbitrators shall fail to nominate or agree the joint nomination of an Arbitrator or the third Arbitrator within the time limits specified by the Rules, such Arbitrator shall be appointed promptly by the HKIAC. The Tribunal shall have no authority to award punitive or other punitive-type damages. The award of the arbitration tribunal shall be final and binding upon the disputing parties. Any party to an award may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of such award and, for purposes of the enforcement of such award, the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction and waive any defenses to such enforcement based on lack of personal jurisdiction or inconvenient forum.

 

 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties hereby consent to and agree that in addition to any recourse to arbitration as set out in this Section 6.9, any Party may, to the extent permitted under the laws of the jurisdiction where application is made, seek an interim injunction from a court or other authority with competent jurisdiction and, notwithstanding that this Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York, a court or authority hearing an application for injunctive relief may apply the procedural law of the jurisdiction where the court or other authority is located in determining whether to grant the interim injunction. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.9(b) is only applicable to the seeking of interim injunctions and does not restrict the application of Section 6.9(a) in any way.

 

(c) Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Parties would be irreparably injured by a breach of this Agreement by it and that money damages alone are an inadequate remedy for actual or threatened breach of this Agreement. Accordingly, each Party shall be entitled to bring an action for specific performance and/or injunctive or other equitable relief (without posting a bond or other security) to enforce or prevent any violations of any provision of this Agreement, in addition to all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity to such Party, including the right to claim money damages for breach of any provision of this Agreement.

All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when delivered personally, by international courier or by e-mail (with confirmation of receipt) to the parties at the following addresses (or to such other address as a party may have specified by notice given to the other party pursuant to this provision):
