(iii) Exchange Rate Information

The “Exchange Rate Information” section on page 52 has been replaced with the following:

EXCHANGE RATE INFORMATION

Substantially all of our operations are conducted in China and all of our service fees are denominated in Renminbi. This prospectus contains translations of Renminbi amounts into U.S. dollars at specific rates solely for the convenience of the reader. Unless otherwise stated, all translations of the RMB into U.S. dollars were made at RMB6.1200 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate on September 30, 2013, as set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board. We make no representation that the RMB or U.S. dollar amounts referred to in this prospectus could have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars or RMB, as the case may be, at any particular rate or at all. The PRC government imposes control over its foreign currency reserves in part through direct regulation of the conversion of Renminbi into foreign exchange and through restrictions on foreign trade. On November 15, 2013 the noon buying rate was RMB6.0920 to US$1.00.

The following table sets forth information concerning exchange rates between the Renminbi and the U.S. dollar for the periods indicated.

(iv) Trademarks held by the Company relating to “500.com”

The last sentence in the section titled “Our Business—Intellectual Property” on page 111 has been replaced by the following:

“We have registered 43 trademarks relating to “500wan” and 39 trademarks relating to “500.com” with the PRC Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, or the Trademark Office.”

(v) Reserved ADSs

The maximum size of reserved ADSs, as stated in the preliminary prospectus dated November 8, 2013, was 5%. It has now been changed to 10%.

In light of the above change, we have revised the disclosure included in the “Prospectus Summary—The Offering—Reserved ADSs” section on page 8, and the first paragraph under “Underwriting—Reserved ADSs” on page 167.

THE OFFERING

 

Reserved ADSs

At our request, the underwriters have reserved for sale, at the public offering price, up to an aggregate of 10% of the ADSs offered in this offering to some of our directors, officers, employees, business associates and related persons through a directed share program.

Reserved ADSs

At our request, the underwriters have reserved for sale, at the public offering price, up to 10% of the ADSs offered by this prospectus for sale to some of our directors, officers, employees, business associates and related persons. If these persons purchase reserved ADSs, this will reduce the number of ADSs available for sale to the general public. Any reserved ADSs that are not so purchased will be offered by the underwriters to the general public on the same terms as the other ADSs offered by this prospectus.

(vi) Increase in the estimated range of the public offering price

The estimated range of the public offering price range, as stated in the preliminary prospectus dated November 8, 2013, was between US$9.00 and US$11.00 per ADS. The estimated range of the public offering price has now been changed to between $11.00 and $13.00 per ADS.

In light of the above change, we have revised the disclosures that are contingent on the estimated range of the initial public offering price in Amendment No. 2 to the Company’s registration statement on Form F-1 filed with the SEC on November 20, 2013.

500.com Limited

5,786,000 American Depositary Shares

Representing 57,860,000 Class A Ordinary Shares

 

 

This is the initial public offering of 500.com Limited. We are offering 5,786,000 American depositary shares, or ADSs. Each ADS represents 10 Class A ordinary shares, par value US$0.00005 per share of 500.com Limited.

Our ordinary shares will be divided into Class A and Class B ordinary shares upon completion of this offering. Holders of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares will have the same rights except for voting and conversion rights. Each Class A ordinary share will be entitled to one vote per share, and each Class B ordinary share will be entitled to 10 votes per share and will be convertible at any time into one Class A ordinary share. Class A ordinary shares will not be convertible into Class B ordinary shares under any circumstances. Ordinary shares held by our existing shareholders prior to this offering will be redesignated as our Class B ordinary shares upon completion of this offering. Assuming the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option to purchase additional ADSs, upon completion of this offering, holders of our Class B ordinary shares will hold 264,761,553 Class B ordinary shares, or 82.1% of the combined total of our outstanding Class A and Class B ordinary shares (representing 97.9% of the total voting rights) in our company, assuming a public offering price of US$12.00 per ADS, the mid-point of the estimated range of the public offering price as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. Our dual-class share structure involves certain risks. See the relevant risk factors in this prospectus for a detailed discussion of such risks.

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for the ADSs or our ordinary shares. It is currently estimated that the public offering price per ADS will be between US$11.00 and US$13.00. We have applied for listing of the ADSs on the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE, under the symbol “WBAI.”

We are an “emerging growth company” under the applicable U.S. federal securities laws and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.

See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 14 to read about factors you should consider before buying the ADSs.

Neither the United States Securities and Exchange Commission nor any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Recent Developments

Convertible note issued and sold to Sequoia

On October 21, 2013, pursuant to a convertible note purchase agreement, we issued a convertible note in an aggregate principal amount of US$20 million to Sequoia Capital 2010 CGF Holdco, Ltd., or Sequoia. The convertible note will be due on June 30, 2014 and bears interest at 10% per annum, or 13% per annum upon an event of default, in both cases uncompounded and computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed. The convertible note will be automatically converted into our Class B ordinary shares immediately upon completion of this offering. The conversion price per Class B ordinary share will be equal to 80% of the public offering price of our ADSs, adjusted to reflect our ADS-to-ordinary share ratio. Assuming a public offering price of US$12.00 per ADS, the mid-point of the estimated range of the public offering price as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, the convertible note would be automatically converted into 20,833,333 Class B ordinary shares upon completion of this offering. In the event of automatic conversion triggered by this offering, the convertible note will be deemed interest free between the date of issuance and the date of conversion.

Assuming that this offering occurs before December 31, 2013, in connection with the issuance and automatic conversion of the convertible note, we will recognize the interest expense of the convertible note and the change in the fair value of the embedded derivative relating to the convertible note in the aggregate amount of US$5 million through the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the year and quarter ending December 31, 2013.

Concurrent private placement to Sequoia

Concurrently with, and subject to, completion of this offering, Sequoia has agreed to purchase from us our Class B ordinary shares, at a price equal to the public offering price of our ADSs in this offering, adjusted to reflect our ADS-to-ordinary share ratio, for a total purchase price of US$15 million in a concurrent private placement. Assuming a public offering price of US$12.00 per ADS, the mid-point of the estimated range of the public offering price as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, Sequoia will purchase 12,500,000 Class B ordinary shares in the concurrent private placement.

THE OFFERING

 

Price per ADS

We estimate that the public offering price will be between US$11.00 and US$13.00 per ADS.

Class B ordinary shares outstanding
immediately after completion of this offering

264,761,553 Class B ordinary shares, which include (i) 231,428,220 Class B ordinary shares redesignated from our ordinary shares outstanding immediately prior to completion of this offering, (ii) 20,833,333 Class B ordinary shares to be issued upon automatic conversion of the convertible note and (iii) 12,500,000 Class B ordinary shares to be issued in the concurrent private placement to Sequoia, in each case assuming a public offering price of US$12.00 per ADS, the mid-point of the estimated range of the public offering price as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus.

 

Sequoia concurrent private placement

Concurrently with, and subject to, completion of this offering, Sequoia has agreed to purchase from us our Class B ordinary shares, at a price per share equal to the public offering price of our ADSs in this offering, adjusted to reflect our ADS-to-ordinary share ratio, for a total purchase price of US$15 million. Assuming a public offering price of US$12.00 per ADS, the mid-point of the estimated range of the public offering price as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, Sequoia would purchase 12,500,000 Class B ordinary shares. This private placement is being made pursuant to an exemption from registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, in reliance upon Regulation S under the Securities Act. See “Underwriting.” Class B ordinary shares to be issued and sold to Sequoia in this concurrent private placement will be subject to a 180-day lock-up arrangement commencing on the date of this prospectus.

 

Use of proceeds

We estimate that we will receive net proceeds of approximately US$75.8 million from this offering and the concurrent private placement to Sequoia, assuming a public offering price of US$12.00 per ADS, the mid-point of the estimated range of the public offering price as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We anticipate using the net proceeds of this offering for continuing investment in our marketing initiatives, including advertising our research and development, and our technology platform. We expect to use any remaining amounts for general corporate purposes, including working capital needs, incremental costs associated with being a public company and potential acquisitions. See “Use of Proceeds” for more information.

Future sales or perceived sales of our ADSs or ordinary shares by existing shareholders could cause our ADSs price to decline.

If our existing shareholders sell, indicate an intention to sell, or are perceived to intend to sell, substantial amounts of our ordinary shares in the public market after the 180-day contractual lock-up period and the lapse of other legal restrictions on resale discussed in this prospectus, the trading price of our ordinary shares could decline. Upon closing of this offering and the concurrent private placement to Sequoia, we will have 322,621,553 outstanding ordinary shares. All ADSs sold in this offering will be freely tradable, without restriction, in the public market. The representative of the underwriters may, in its sole discretion, permit any party subject to lock-up agreements to sell shares prior to the expiration of the lock-up agreements. After the lock-up agreements pertaining to this offering expire (180 days or more from the date of this prospectus), all of our outstanding shares will be eligible for sale in the public market, but they will be subject to volume limitations under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. In addition, ordinary shares subject to outstanding options under our share incentive plan will become eligible for sale in the public market to the extent permitted by the provisions of various vesting agreements, the lock-up agreements and Rules 144 and 701 under the Securities Act. If these additional shares are sold, or if it is perceived that they will be sold in the public market, the trading price of our ordinary shares could decline.

Because the public offering price is substantially higher than our pro forma net tangible book value per ADS, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution.

If you purchase ADSs in this offering, you will pay more for your ADSs than the amount paid by existing shareholders for their ordinary shares on a per ADS basis. As a result, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution of US$8.9 per ADS (assuming (i) the automatic conversion of the convertible note issued to Sequoia into Class B ordinary shares immediately upon completion of this offering, based on a conversion price of US$0.96 per ordinary share, which, pursuant to the convertible note, equals to 80% of the public offering price of our ADS adjusted to reflect our ADS-to-ordinary share ratio and based on an assumed public offering price of US$12.00 per ADS, the mid-point of the estimated public offering price range shown on the front cover of this prospectus, (ii) the issuance and sale of Class B ordinary shares to Sequoia in connection with the concurrent private placement at an assumed public offering price of US$12.00 per ADS, the mid-point of the estimated range of the public offering price shown on the front cover of this prospectus, and (iii) no exercise of outstanding options to acquire Class A ordinary shares or the underwriters’ option to acquire additional ADSs), representing the difference between our pro forma net tangible book value per ADS as of September 30, 2013, after giving effect to this offering and the assumed public offering price of US$12.00 per ADS (the mid-point of the estimated range of the public offering price shown on the front cover of this prospectus). In addition, you may experience further dilution to the extent that our Class A ordinary shares are issued upon the exercise of outstanding share options. Substantially all of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of currently outstanding share options will be issued at a purchase price on a per ADS basis that is less than the public offering price per ADS in this offering.

Holders of our Class B ordinary shares will control the outcome of shareholder actions in our company.

Under our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, our ordinary shares will be divided into Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares upon completion of this offering. Holders of Class A ordinary shares will be entitled to one vote per share, while holders of Class B ordinary shares will be entitled to 10 votes per share. We will issue Class A ordinary shares represented by our ADSs in this offering. Assuming the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option to purchase additional ADSs, upon completion of this offering and the concurrent private placement to Sequoia, holders of our Class B ordinary shares will hold 264,761,553 Class B ordinary shares, or 82.1% of the combined total outstanding ordinary shares (representing 97.9% of the total voting rights) in our company, which include (i) Class B ordinary shares redesignated from our ordinary shares outstanding prior to completion of this offering, (ii) Class B ordinary shares to be automatically converted from the convertible note and (iii) Class B ordinary shares to be issued and sold by us to Sequoia in connection with the concurrent private placement, in both cases assuming a public offering price of US$12.00 per ADS, the mid-point of the estimated range of the public offering price as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. Their shareholding, in particular the greater voting rights of the Class B ordinary shares, gives Class B ordinary shareholders the power to control any actions that require shareholder approval under Cayman Islands law, our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and the NYSE requirements, including the election and removal of any member of our board of directors, mergers, consolidations and other business combinations, changes to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the number of shares available for issuance under share incentive plans and the issuance of significant amounts of our ordinary shares in private placements. Due to the disparate voting rights attached to the two classes of our ordinary shares, holders of our Class B ordinary shares could have sufficient voting rights to determine the outcome of all matters requiring shareholder approval even if it should, at some point in the future, hold considerably less than a majority of the combined total of our outstanding Class A and Class B ordinary shares.

 

11


Our dual-class share structure with different voting rights could discourage others from pursuing any change of control transactions that holders of our Class A ordinary shares and ADSs may view as beneficial.

Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide for a dual-class share structure. Our ordinary shares are divided into Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Holders of Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote per share, while holders of Class B ordinary shares are entitled to 10 votes per share. We will issue Class A ordinary shares represented by our ADSs in this offering. Our existing shareholders, Sequoia and Blue Ivy Investment Limited, if Sequoia, Blue Ivy Investment Limited exercise their options to exchange certain exchangeable notes into our Class B ordinary shares held by certain of our current shareholders upon completion of this offering (and two third parties independent to Blue Ivy Investment Limited and us upon a contemplated transfer from Blue Ivy Investment Limited to such third parties prior to the consummation of this offering), will together hold 264,761,553 Class B ordinary shares upon completion of this offering, each of which is convertible into one Class A ordinary share at any time by the holder thereof. Class A ordinary shares are not convertible into Class B ordinary shares under any circumstances.

 

12


USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that we will receive net proceeds of approximately US$75.8 million consisting of (i) US$60.8 million from this offering after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and the estimated offering expenses payable by us in connection with this offering and based upon an assumed public offering price of US$12.00 per ADS (the mid-point of the estimated public offering price range shown on the front cover of this prospectus) and (ii) US$15.0 million from the concurrent private placement to Sequoia. A US$1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed public offering price of US$12.00 per ADS would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering and the concurrent private placement to Sequoia by US$5.4 million, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us in connection with this offering and assuming (i) no change to the number of ADSs offered by us as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and (ii) the completion of the concurrent private placement to Sequoia.

    as adjusted basis to give effect to (i) the redesignation of all of our outstanding ordinary shares immediately prior to this offering into Class B ordinary shares upon completion of this offering, (ii) the issuance and sales of US$20 million convertible note to Sequoia in October 2013, (iii) the automatic conversion of the convertible note issued and sold to Sequoia into Class B ordinary shares upon completion of this offering, based on a conversion price of US$0.96 per ordinary share, which, pursuant to the convertible note, equals to 80% of the public offering price of our ADSs adjusted to reflect our ADS-to-ordinary share ratio and based on an assumed public offering price of US$12.00 per ADS, the mid-point of the estimated public offering price range shown on the front cover of this prospectus, (iv) the issuance and sale of 12,500,000 Class B ordinary shares to Sequoia in a concurrent private placement at an assumed public offering price of US$12.00 per ADS on a per ordinary share basis, the mid-point of the estimated range of the public offering price shown on the front cover of this prospectus, and (v) the issuance and sale of the Class A ordinary shares in the form of 5,786,000 ADSs offered hereby at an assumed public offering price of US$12.00 per ADS, the mid-point of the estimated public offering price range shown on the front cover of this prospectus, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us in connection with this offering and assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option and no other change to the number of ADSs sold by us as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus.

DILUTION

If you invest in our ADSs, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per ADS and our net tangible book value per ADS after this offering. Dilution results from the fact that the public offering price per ordinary share is substantially in excess of the book value per ordinary share attributable to the existing shareholders for our presently outstanding ordinary shares.

Our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2013 was US$3.1 million, or US$0.01 per ordinary share, and US$0.13 per ADS. Net tangible book value per ordinary share is determined by dividing our net tangible book value by the number of outstanding ordinary shares. Our net tangible book value is determined by subtracting the value of our acquired net intangible assets, deferred initial public offering costs and total liabilities from our total assets. Dilution is determined by subtracting net tangible book value per ordinary share from the assumed public offering price per ordinary share.

Without taking into account any other changes in such net tangible book value after September 30, 2013, other than to give effect to (i) the redesignation of all of our outstanding ordinary shares immediately prior to this offering into Class B ordinary shares upon completion of this offering, (ii) the issuance and sales of US$20 million convertible note to Sequoia in October 2013, (iii) the automatic conversion of the convertible note issued and sold to Sequoia into Class B ordinary shares upon completion of this offering, based on a conversion price of US$0.96 per ordinary share, which, pursuant to the convertible note, equals to 80% of the public offering price of our ADSs adjusted to reflect our ADS-to-ordinary share ratio and based on an assumed public offering price of US$12.00 per ADS, the mid-point of the estimated public offering price range shown on the front cover of this prospectus, (iv) the issuance and sale of 12,500,000 Class B ordinary shares to Sequoia in connection with a concurrent private placement at an assumed public offering price of US$12.00 per ADS on a per ordinary share basis, the mid-point of the estimated range of the public offering price shown on the front cover of this prospectus, and (v) the issuance and sale of the 5,786,000 ADSs offered in this offering at an assumed public offering price of US$12.00 per ADS, the mid-point of the estimated public offering price range as set forth on the cover of this prospectus, with estimated net proceeds of US$60.8 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses in connection with this offering, our pro forma net tangible book value as of September 30, 2013 would have been US$98.8 million, US$0.31 per outstanding ordinary share, including ordinary shares represented by our outstanding ADSs, and US$3.09 per ADS. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of US$0.30 per ordinary share, or US$2.96 per ADS, to existing shareholders and an immediate dilution in pro forma net tangible book value of US$0.89 per ordinary share, or US$8.9 per ADS, to new investors in this offering. The following table illustrates such per ordinary share dilution:

   US$ 0.01

   US$ 0.08   

Increase in net tangible book value per ordinary share attributable to price paid by Sequoia for the issuance of 12,500,000 ordinary shares to Sequoia at the midpoint of the estimated range of the public offering price of US$12.00 per ADS with net proceeds of US$15 million

Dilution in net tangible book value per ADS to new investors in the offering

   US$ 8.90   

A US$1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed public offering price of US$12.00 per ADS would increase (decrease) our pro forma net tangible book value after giving effect to the offering by US$5.4 million, the pro forma net tangible book value per ordinary share and per ADS after giving effect to this offering, the concurrent private placement and the automatic conversion by US$0.02 per ordinary share and US$0.19 per ADS and the dilution in pro forma net tangible book value per ordinary share and per ADS to new investors in this offering by US$0.08 per Class A ordinary share and US$0.80 per ADS, assuming (i) no change to the number of ADSs offered by us as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, (ii) the issuance of Class B ordinary shares by us to Sequoia in connection with the conversion of the convertible note and the concurrent private placement, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses of the offering. The pro forma information discussed above is illustrative only. Our net tangible book value following the closing of this offering is subject to adjustment based on the actual public offering price of our ADSs and other terms of this offering determined at pricing.

The following table summarizes on a pro forma basis the differences as of September 30, 2013 between the existing shareholders and the new investors with respect to the number of ordinary shares represented by ADSs purchased from us, the total consideration paid and the average price per ordinary share paid before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses of this offering. The information in the following table is illustrative only and the total consideration paid and the average price per ordinary share equivalent and per ADS equivalent is subject to adjustment based on the actual public offering price of our ADSs and other terms of this offering determined at pricing.

A US$1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed public offering price of US$12.00 per ADS would increase (decrease) total consideration paid by new investors, total consideration paid by all shareholders and the average price per ADS paid by all shareholders by US$5.4 million, US$5.4 million and US$0.20, respectively, assuming (i) no change in the number of ADSs sold by us as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, (ii) the issuance of Class B ordinary shares by us to Sequoia in connection with the conversion of the convertible note and the concurrent private placement and without deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses of this offering.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Foreign Exchange Risk

We estimate that we will receive net proceeds of approximately US$75.8 million from this offering and the concurrent private placement to Sequoia, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and the estimated offering expenses payable by us in connection with this offering, based on the public offering price of US$12.00 per ADS. Assuming that we convert the full amount of the net proceeds from this offering and the concurrent private placement to Sequoia into RMB, a 10% appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar, from a rate of RMB6.120 to US$1.00 to a rate of RMB5.5636 to US$1.00, will result in a decrease of RMB42.2 million (US$6.9 million) of the net proceeds from this offering and the concurrent private placement to Sequoia. Conversely, a 10% depreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar, from a rate of RMB6.120 to US$1.00 to a rate of RMB6.800 to US$1.00, will result in an increase of RMB51.5 million (US$8.4 million) of the net proceeds from this offering and the concurrent private placement to Sequoia.

The convertible note will be automatically converted into our Class B ordinary shares upon completion of this offering.
