Change in Fiscal Year

 

On December 30, 2012, Blue Wolf Mongolia Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) changed its fiscal year end solely for financial accounting purposes. The Company’s fiscal year will now end on June 30 of each calendar year instead of February 28. As a result of such change, the Company’s current financial accounting fiscal year will end on June 30, 2013. The Company plans to report its financial results for the four month transition period of March 1, 2012 through June 30, 2012 on a Transition Report on Form 20-F (the “Transition Report”). After filing the Transition Report, the Company’s intends to file an Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013.

 

Qualification as a Foreign Private Issuer

 

On December 31, 2012, the Company determined that, as a result of the change in fiscal year as well as certain other actions taken by the Company, it has met the requirements set forth in Rule 3b-4 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), to qualify as a “foreign private issuer” on the last day of its second fiscal quarter (December 31, 2012). Commencing January 1, 2013, the Company intends to avail itself of the accommodations available to foreign private issuers under the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Exchange Act, including the use of foreign private issuer forms and reporting requirements.

 

As a foreign private issuer, the Company is exempt from certain provisions applicable to U.S. reporting companies including (i) the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and proxy statements, (ii) provisions of Regulation FD aimed at preventing issuers from making selective disclosures of material information; and (iii) provisions of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their share ownership and trading activities and establishing insider liability for profits realized from any “short swing” trading transactions.

 

As a foreign private issuer, the Company is also permitted to follow home country corporate governance practices instead of certain corporate governance rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market. The corporate governance practice in the Company’s home country, the British Virgin Islands, does not require the implementation of various Nasdaq Capital Market corporate governance rules. Accordingly, the Company may follow home country practice with regard to, among other things, the composition of its board of directors and board committees, the participation of independent directors in the determination of executive compensation and the nomination of directors, and the review and oversight of related-party transactions. Furthermore, the Company intends to follow home country practice instead of Rule 5635 of the Nasdaq Capital Market, which requires shareholder approval for certain issuances of securities, including acquisitions of stock or assets of third parties resulting in the issuance of 20% or more of an issuer’s outstanding shares, issuances resulting in a change of control of an issuer and certain equity compensation plans.
