EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Schedule 13D amendment is filed jointly by Ho Cheuk Fund (“Ho Cheuk”), Grand Honest Limited (“Grand Honest”), Pang Yuet and Cheung Mui (the “Schedule 13D”). This joint filing shall serve as an original, and final, Schedule 13D filing by Pang Yuet and Cheung Mui and to amend the Schedule 13Ds previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by Ho Cheuk and Grand Honest. This amendment shall also serve as the final amendment to the Schedule 13D and is an exit filing of each of the Reporting Persons (as defined below).

Ho Cheuk and Grand Honest disclosed in such filings that they were related parties and members of a group in separately filed Schedule 13Ds. This Schedule 13D hereby amends and restates the Original Filings in their entirety including any material changes to the initially reported information related to the intervening time period since the Original Filings.

Based on the transactions described herein, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act.

The Reporting Persons expect to evaluate on an ongoing basis the Issuer’s financial condition and prospects and their respective interests in, and intentions with respect to, the Issuer and their respective investments in the securities of the

 

   

 

 

Issuer, which review may be based on various factors including the Issuer’s business and financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic and industry conditions, the securities markets in general and those for the Issuer’s securities in particular, as well as other developments and other investment opportunities. Accordingly, each Reporting Person reserves the right to change its intentions as it deems appropriate. In particular, each Reporting Person may at any time and from time to time, in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, increase its holdings in the Issuer or dispose of all or a portion of the securities of the Issuer that the Reporting Persons now own or may hereafter acquire. In addition, the Reporting Persons may engage in discussions with management and members of the Board regarding the Issuer, including, but not limited to, the Issuer’s business and financial condition, results of operations and prospects. The Reporting Persons may take positions with respect to and seek to influence the Issuer regarding the matters discussed above. Such suggestions or positions may include one or more plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions required to be reported herein.
