Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Pursuant to Rule 13d-2 promulgated under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), this Schedule 13D/A (this “Amendment No. 1”) amends the Schedule 13D filed on December 13, 2011 (the “Initial Schedule 13D”, together with Amendment No. 1, the “Schedule 13D”). Except as otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Initial Schedule 13D.

This Schedule 13D is being filed by the Reporting Persons to report a change in the share ownership as a result of the sale by CST of 2,000,000 ADSs, representing 8,000,000 Ordinary Shares, in an underwritten registered public offering (the “Follow-On Offering”) pursuant to the Issuer’s Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-194058), as amended. Pursuant to the Follow-On Offering, Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (together with several underwriters named in Schedule II thereto, the “Underwriters”), entered into an underwriting agreement, dated March 11, 2014 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), with the Issuer and the selling shareholders named in Schedule I thereto (the “Selling Shareholders”). Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriters agreed to purchase from the Issuer and Selling Shareholders and the Issuer and the Selling Shareholders agreed to sell to the Underwriters an aggregate of 4,000,000 ADS representing 16,000,000 shares of Ordinary Shares (the “Sale”), which includes 2,000,000 ADSs, representing 8,000,000 Ordinary Shares, sold by CST. In addition, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, CST granted a 30-day overallotment option to the Underwriters to purchase an additional 275,000 ADS, representing 1,100,000 Ordinary Shares, from it if such option is exercised by the Underwriters (the “Over-Allotment Option”).


Pursuant to the final prospectus (the “Offering Prospectus”) filed by the Company on March 12, 2014, the public offering price in the Follow-on Offering by the Company was $21.00 per ADS and the underwriting discount was $1.05 per ADS. Accordingly, CST sold an aggregate of 2,000,000 ADSs, representing 8,000,000 Ordinary Shares, in such Sale to the Underwriters at $21.00 per ADS and received net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses payable by the Issuer, of an aggregate amount of $39.9 million.

The Underwriting Agreement contains standard terms and conditions for a public offering including customary representations and warranties and indemnity provisions. The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the Underwriting Agreement, the form of which is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 1.1 to the Company’s F-3/A filed on March 7, 2014.
