(1)

The securities to be registered hereby may be represented by American depositary shares, or ADSs, of Four Seasons Education (Cayman) Inc. (the “Registrant”). Each two ADSs represent one ordinary share, par value of US$0.0001 per share, of the Registrant (“Ordinary Share”). The Registrant’s ADSs issuable upon deposit of the securities registered hereby have been registered under a separate registration statement on Form F-6 (Registration No. 333-221179).

(2)

This registration statement on Form S-8 (this “Registration Statement”) registers Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to the Registrant’s 2015 Share Incentive Plan and 2017 Share Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Plans”). In accordance with Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), this Registration Statement also covers an indeterminate number of additional securities which may be offered and issued under the Plans to prevent dilution from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions as provided in the Plans.

(3)

The amount to be registered represents Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options granted under the Registrant’s 2015 Share Incentive Plan. Pursuant to Rule 457(h), the corresponding proposed maximum offering price per share represents the exercise price of these options.

(4)

The amount to be registered represents Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options granted under the Registrant’s 2017 Share Incentive Plan. Pursuant to Rule 457(h), the corresponding proposed maximum offering price per share represents the exercise price of these options.

(5)

The amount to be registered represents Ordinary Shares reserved for future award grants under the Registrant’s 2017 Share Incentive Plan. The corresponding proposed maximum offering price per share, which is estimated solely for the purposes of calculating the registration fee under Rule 457(h) and Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act, is based on the average of the high and low prices for the Registrant’s ADSs as quoted on the New York Stock Exchange on April 16, 2018 and adjusted for the Ordinary Share-to-ADS ratio.

(6)

Any Ordinary Shares covered by an award granted under the Plans (or portion of an award) that expires or for any reason is cancelled or terminated without having been exercise or settled or that is forfeited or repurchased and held as treasury shares shall be deemed not to have been issued for purposes of determining the maximum aggregate number of Ordinary Shares which may be issued under the Plans.

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

The following documents filed by the Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) are incorporated by reference herein:

(b) The description of the Registrant’s Ordinary Shares contained in its registration statement on Form 8-A (File No. 001-38264) filed with the Commission on October 27, 2017, including any amendment and report filed for the purpose of updating that description; and

(c)The Registrant’s report of foreign private issuer on Form 6-K (File No. 001-38264) furnished to the Commission on January 16, 2018.

All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), subsequent to the effective date of this Registration Statement, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement indicating that all securities offered hereby have been sold or deregistering all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.

Any statement contained herein or in any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement.

Item 4.Description of Securities.

Not applicable.

Item 5.Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Not applicable.

 


 

Item 6.Indemnification of Directors and Officers 

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences or committing a crime. Under the Registrant’s second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, to the maximum extent permissible by applicable law, every director and officer of the Registrant shall be indemnified against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, losses, damages and expenses that they or any of them shall or may incur or sustain by reason of any act done or omitted in or about the execution of their duty in their respective offices or trusts.

Pursuant to the indemnification agreements, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to the Registrant’s registration statement on Form F-1, as amended (File No. 333-220951), the Registrant has agreed to indemnify its directors and executive officers against certain liabilities and expenses incurred by such persons in connection with claims made by reason of their being such a director or officer of the Registrant.

The underwriting agreement, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Registrant’s registration statement on Form F-1, as amended (File No. 333-220951), also provides for indemnification of the Registrant and its officers and directors.

The Registrant currently carries liability insurance for its directors and executive officers.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 7.Exemption From Registration Claimed 

Not applicable

Item 8.Exhibits.

See Exhibit Index beginning on page 4 of this registration statement.

Item 9.Undertakings

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i) to include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement;

(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement; and

(2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities

 


 

offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
