This Amendment No. 1 is filed jointly by the Reporting Persons pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k) promulgated by the SEC under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Reporting Persons are making this single, joint filing because they may be deemed to constitute a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b) under the Exchange Act by reason of the Merger Agreement, the Contribution Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter, the Limited Guaranty (each as defined below) and the Entrustment Agreement as described in Item 4 below.

The proceeds from the term loan will be used for dividend distribution to the shareholders of Chief Honour and Capital Melody and Dr. Hou and Mr. Li will cause the proceeds of such distribution to be used to fund the equity financing under the Equity Commitment Letter.

 

The information contained on each of the cover pages of this Amendment No. 1 and the information set forth in or incorporated by reference in Items 4 of the Original Schedule 13D, as amended by this Amendment No. 1, are hereby incorporated herein by reference.

 

ITEM 4 PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

 

Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

Merger Agreement

 

On December 10, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Trunkbow Merger Group Limited, a business company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“Parent”) and Trunkbow International Merger Sub Limited, a Nevada corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”).

 

The Merger Agreement provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to US$1.46 (the “Merger Consideration”), without any interest thereon, except for the shares of Common Stock (i) held by the Company as treasury stock or beneficially owned by any wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, or (ii) beneficially owned by Parent or Merger Sub, including the Rollover Shares (as defined below). All of the shares of Common Stock converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled and cease to exist as of the effective time of the Merger. All of the Rollover Shares will be cancelled without any consideration as of the effective time of the Merger.

 

6
 

 

The Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including, but not limited to, adoption of the Merger Agreement by the affirmative vote of both (i) the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and (ii) holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (excluding the Rollover Shares).

 

Parent and Merger Sub agreed to cause Dr. Hou and Mr. Li to deposit within two months after the date of the Merger Agreement US$30,150,000 (the “Escrow Amount”) in cash into a designated interest-bearing escrow account, which will be jointly controlled by the Company and Parent until the earlier of the closing date of the Merger and the date on which the Merger Agreement is validly terminated. At or prior to the effective time of the Merger, the Escrow Amount shall be used to fund the equity financing pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Equity Commitment Letter and released into the account of an exchange agent for the benefit of the Company’s stockholders.

 

If the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are consummated, the Company will become a privately held company beneficially owned by Dr. Hou and Mr. Li and the shares of Common Stock of the Company will no longer be listed on the NASDAQ Global Market.

 

Contribution Agreement

 

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Reporting Persons entered into a contribution agreement with Parent (the “Contribution Agreement”), pursuant to which they agreed that, immediately prior to the closing of the Merger and without further action by the Reporting Persons, all of the 16,156,983 shares of Common Stock of the Company beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons (the “Rollover Shares”) will be contributed to Parent in exchange for the newly issued shares of Parent.

 

The Reporting Persons agreed, with respect to the Rollover Shares beneficially owned by such Reporting Person, to vote (i) in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement and the approval of other actions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and any actions required in furtherance thereof, (ii) in favor of any matters necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (iii) against the approval of any alternative acquisition proposal or the approval of any other action contemplated by an alternative acquisition proposal, (iv) against any action, agreement or transaction that is intended, that could reasonably be expected, or the effect of which could reasonably be expected, to materially impede, interfere with, delay or postpone, discourage or adversely affect the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated therein and (v) against any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach in any respect of any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation or agreement of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement, or of any Reporting Person contained in the Contribution Agreement. In addition, the Reporting Persons agreed to appoint Parent and any other designee of Parent as their proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution) to vote their Rollover Shares as indicated above.

 

Equity Commitment Letter

 

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Dr. Hou and Mr. Li entered into a commitment letter (the “Equity Commitment Letter”) with Parent, pursuant to which Dr. Hou and Mr. Li committed, on a joint and several basis, to purchase, or cause the purchase of, at or immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, equity interests of Parent for an aggregate cash purchase price equal to US$30,150,000, which will be used by Parent solely for the purpose of funding the aggregate amount of the Merger Consideration required to be paid by Parent to consummate the Merger in accordance with the Merger Agreement, together with all related fees and expenses.

 

Limited Guaranty

 

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Dr. Hou and Mr. Li entered into a limited guaranty (the “Limited Guaranty”) with the Company, pursuant to which each of Dr. Hou and Mr. Li absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed to the Company, severally but not jointly, on the terms and subject to the conditions therein, the due and punctual payment when due of his percentage (Dr. Hou as to 52.97% and Mr. Li as to 47.03%) of the payment obligations of Parent to the Company with respect to the termination fee that may be payable by Parent to the Company under the Merger Agreement.

 

7
 

 

The Limited Guaranty will terminate as of the earliest of (i) the effective time of the Merger, (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms where the termination fee to be paid by Parent to the Company is not payable and there is no unpaid expense obligation of Parent, and (iii) in the case of a termination of the Merger Agreement for which the termination fee to be paid by Parent to the Company is payable, the date falling 90 days after such termination, or if the Company has made a written claim with respect to the guaranteed obligations under this Limited Guaranty prior to such a date, the time upon the final, non-appealable resolution of such action or satisfaction of the guaranteed obligations.

 

Facility Letter

 

Chief Honour and Capital Melody entered into a facility letter with HK Minsheng Bank, dated December 6, 2013 (the “Facility Letter”), pursuant to which HK Minsheng Bank will provide a term loan facility in the aggregate amount of up to US$30,150,000 to Chief Honour and Capital Melody and the loan proceeds may be used for dividend distribution to the shareholders of Chief Honour and Capital Melody.

 

The descriptions of the Merger Agreement, the Contribution Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter, the Limited Guaranty and the Facility Letter set forth above in this Item 4 do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, the Contribution Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter, the Limited Guaranty and the Facility Letter, which have been filed as Exhibits 7.06, 7.07, 7.08, 7.09 and 7.10 respectively, and are incorporated herein by this reference.
