Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 4 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D as supplemented and amended by Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, and Amendment No. 3. Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D, unless otherwise defined herein.

 

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

Item 3 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

The information set forth in or incorporated by reference in Item 2 of the Schedule 13D and Item 5 of this Schedule 13D/A is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 3.

The aggregate number of Class A Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is 79,514,410 (the “Shares”), consisting of 63,500,500 Class A Shares and 1,601,391 ADSs representing 10 Class A Shares each. The source of the funds used to purchase the Shares is working capital of the Reporting Persons.

In June 2015, TU International purchased 63,500,500 of the Shares from the Issuer in a private placement for a price per Class A Ordinary Share of US$1.95 for which the aggregate consideration of approximately $123.8 million has been paid.

In a series of open market purchases as set forth in Item 5(c) of Amendment No. 1, which is incorporated herein by reference, TU International purchased an aggregate of 407,125 ADSs representing 4,071,250 Class A Shares with an aggregate purchase price of $6,155,125.92.

In June 2016 in a series of open market purchases, TU International purchased an additional 6,413 ADSs representing 64,130 Class A Shares with an aggregate purchase price of $104,323.57.

In November 2016, as set forth in Item 5(c) of Amendment No. 2, which is incorporated herein by reference, TU International purchased an aggregate of 253,525 ADSs representing 2,535,250 Class A Shares with an aggregate purchase price of $3,382,926.87.

In December 2016, as set forth in Item 5(c) of Amendment No. 3, which is incorporated herein by reference, TU International purchased an aggregate of 460,224 ADSs representing 4,602,240 Class A Shares with an aggregate purchase price of $6,163,502.90.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:


(a) The aggregate number of Class A Shares and the percentage of total outstanding Class A Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is set forth below. References to percentage ownerships of Class A Shares in this Statement are based upon the 333,993,382 Class A Shares outstanding as of March 31, 2017 based on the Issuer’s Form 6-K filed May 10, 2017. TU International is the record holder of the Shares. The filing of this Statement shall not be construed as an admission that a Reporting Person beneficially owns shares held by any other Reporting Person.

TU International beneficially owns the Shares, which represents approximately 23.81% of the outstanding Class A Shares calculated in accordance with the requirements of Rule 13d-3 under the Act.

TU Capital, as the direct parent company of TU International, may also be deemed to beneficially own the Shares.

TU, as an indirect, but controlling, parent company of TU International, may also be deemed to beneficially own the Shares.

Zhao Weiguo, who is the Chairman of the Board of TU and a director of each of TU Capital and TU International and in such capacity possesses the decision making power of TU, TU Capital, and TU International with respect to the voting and disposition of securities beneficially owned and as a result may also be deemed to beneficially own the Shares.

By virtue of the relationship described herein, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a “group” for purposes of Rule 13(d)(3) of the Act. As a member of a group, each Reporting Person may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with respect to, and as a result beneficially own, the Shares beneficially owned by members of the group as a whole. The filing of this Statement shall not be construed as an admission that a Reporting Person beneficially owns those Shares held by any other member of the group. In addition, each Reporting Person expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of any securities reported herein except to the extent such Reporting Person actually exercises voting or dispositive power with respect to such securities.

(b) Each of TU, TU Capital, TU International and Zhao Weiguo may be deemed to have shared power to vote and dispose or direct the vote and direct the disposition of the Shares.

(c) The following transactions have been effected via public market purchases by TU International of the Issuer’s securities within the past 60 days:

   Amount of ADSs      Average Price Per ADS
