Explanatory Note

 

This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment No. 2”) amends the Schedule 13D filed by (a) Xin Jin, a citizen of the People’s Republic of China, (b) Golden Section Holding Corporation, a company organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, (c) Golden Seed Venture Limited, a company organized under the laws of the Bahamas, and (d) Credit Suisse Trust Limited as Trustee of The Morning Rain Trust, a company organized under the laws of Singapore on March 23, 2015, as amended by Amendment No.1 thereto filed on May 21, 2015 (the “Original Schedule 13D”, together with this Amendment No. 2, the “Schedule 13D”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 2 have the same respective meanings provided to them in the Original Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4.                     Purpose of Transaction

 

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

 

The Reporting Persons acquired the Ordinary Shares and ADSs covered by the Schedule 13D for long-term investment purposes and intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuous basis. As a director and executive officer of the Issuer, Mr. Xin Jin may have influence over the corporate activities of the Issuer, including activities which may relate to transactions described in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 

On July 26, 2015, as announced in the Current Report on Form 6-K filed by the Issuer on July 27, 2016 (the “Form 6-K”), the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Xiamen Insight Investment Co., Ltd. (“Insight”), a joint stock company established under the laws of the People’s Republic of China.  Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Insight will form a subsidiary, which will merge with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”), and the Issuer will be the surviving company in the Merger and become a wholly owned subsidiary of Insight upon the effectiveness of the Merger.  Pursuant to the Merger, each Ordinary Share will be converted into the right to receive US$2.75 in cash per Ordinary Share, and each ADS will be converted into the right to receive US$5.50 in cash per ADS, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.  Please see the descriptions of the Merger Agreement in the Issuer’s Form 6-K for more details.

 

As an inducement for Insight to consummate the Merger, certain founders of the Issuer, (a) one of the Reporting Persons, Mr. Xin Jin, the Issuer’s chief executive officer, (b) Mr. Rubin Li, the chairman of the Issuer’s board of directors, and (c) Mr. Jinbo Yao (collectively, the “Founders”) and certain affiliated entities through which the Founders beneficially own their Ordinary Shares, and Insight have entered into a support agreement (the “Support Agreement), which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and is incorporated herein by reference.  Pursuant to the Support Agreement, each Founder and his such affiliated entity as party thereto has agreed, among other things, to vote all of the Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by him in favor of the authorization and approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

 

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, as a condition precedent to the consummation of the Merger and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the contractual arrangements entered into by Xuecheng Century (Beijing) Information Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing Xueda Information Technology Co., Ltd., which is the Issuer’s consolidated variable interest entity (the “VIE”), and the shareholders of the VIE (including Xin Jin), will be terminated immediately prior to the completion of the Merger pursuant to a termination agreement (the “Termination Agreement”), dated as of July 26, 2015, by and among the Issuer, Xuecheng Century (Beijing) Information Technology Co., Ltd., the VIE, Insight, Xin Jin and the other shareholders of the VIE.

A copy of the Termination Agreement has been filed hereto as Exhibit 2 and is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 99.3 to the Issuer’s Form 6-K.

 

Except as described above and elsewhere herein, the Reporting Persons do not have any present plan or proposal which relates to, or could result in the occurrence of, any of the events referred to in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D (although they reserve the right to develop such plans).

 

The foregoing description of the Support Agreement and the Termination Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibits 1 and 2.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

By reason of the Support Agreement described in Item 4 above and the irrevocable proxy contained therein, Insight may be deemed to beneficially own and have the shared voting power to vote or to direct the vote of (but no power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of) 73,256,598 Ordinary Shares (“Subject Shares”), representing approximately 58.4% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Issuer as of July 21, 2015 (excluding options and restricted share units of the Issuer), and other Ordinary Shares which each Founder or such of its affiliated entity as party to the Support Agreement may become the owner of or with respect to which such party otherwise directly or indirectly has or later obtains the power to direct the vote. Subject Shares include each of the following: (a) 21,150,930 Ordinary Shares held by Goodor Corporation, which are beneficially owned by Rubin Li, (b) 41,132,948 Ordinary Shares held by Golden Section Holding Corporation, which are beneficially owned by Xin Jin, and (c) 10,972,720 Ordinary Shares held by Nihao China Corporation, which are beneficially owned by Jinbo Yao.

Except for the information set forth under Item 4, which is hereby incorporated by reference, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the Reporting Persons nor between any of the Reporting Persons and any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of the securities, finders’ fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
