6. CONVERSION

 

6.1. Conversion Right

 

  (a) Conversion Period

 

  (i) Subject as provided in the Conditions, each Note shall entitle the holder to convert the principal amount of such Note in whole or in part and from time to time into Shares credited as fully-paid, non-assessable and free from encumbrances at any time during the Conversion Period (the “Conversion Right”).

 

  (ii) Subject to and upon compliance with the Conditions, the Conversion Right in respect of a Note may be exercised, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time after the Issue Date up to the close of business (at the place where the Certificate evidencing such Note is deposited for conversion) on the date falling seven days prior to the Maturity Date (but in no event thereafter) (the “Conversion Period”).

 

  (iii) A Conversion Right may not be exercised in respect of a Note (A) where the holder shall have exercised its right to require the Issuer to redeem or repurchase such Note pursuant to Condition 8.2 (Redemption for No QIPO at the Option of Noteholders) or (B) following the giving of notice by the Majority Noteholders pursuant to Condition 11 (Events of Default).

 

- 4 -


  (iv) The number of Shares to be issued on exercise of a Conversion Right will be determined by dividing the US dollar principal amount of the Notes specified to be converted by the Conversion Price in effect on the relevant Conversion Date. A Conversion Right may be exercised in respect of one or more Notes. If more than one Note held by the same holder is converted at any one time by the same holder, the number of Shares to be issued upon such conversion will be calculated on the basis of the aggregate US dollar principal amount of the Notes specified to be converted.

 

  (b) Fractions of Shares

Fractions of Shares will not be issued on exercise of a Conversion Right. However, if the Conversion Right in respect of more than one Note is exercised at any one time such that Shares to be issued on conversion are to be registered in the same name, the number of such Shares to be issued in respect thereof shall be calculated on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes specified to be so converted and rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will upon conversion of any Note pay in cash in US dollars a sum equal to such portion of the principal amount of the Note or Notes evidenced by the Certificate deposited in connection with the exercise of Conversion Rights, aggregated as provided in paragraph (a) of Condition 6.1 (Conversion Right), as corresponds to any fraction of a Share not issued if such sum exceeds US$1.00. Any such sum shall be paid not later than five Business Days after the relevant Conversion Date by transfer to a US dollar account maintained by the payee in accordance with instructions given by the relevant Noteholder in the Conversion Notice.

 

  (c) Conversion Price

 

  (i) The price at which Shares will be issued upon conversion, as adjusted from time to time (the “Conversion Price”) will initially be US$11.7612 per Share, but will be subject to adjustment in the manner provided in Condition 6.3 (Adjustments to Conversion Price).

 

  (ii) Upon any adjustment in the Conversion Price pursuant to Condition 6.3 (Adjustments to Conversion Price), the Issuer shall within a reasonable period (not to exceed 10 Business Days) following such adjustment deliver to each holder of the Notes a certificate, duly signed by the chief financial officer of the Issuer, setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated and specifying the Conversion Price in effect immediately following such adjustment.

 

  (d) Meaning of “Shares”

As used in these Conditions, the expression “Shares” means common shares of a par value of US$0.0001 each of the Issuer or shares of any class or classes resulting from any subdivision, consolidation or re-classification of those shares, or such other shares of the Issuer into which those shares are converted in connection with an IPO or a QIPO, which as between themselves have no preference in respect of dividends or of amounts payable in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation or dissolution of the Issuer.

 

- 5 -


  (e) Voting

Noteholders shall have no voting rights as a shareholder of the Issuer until the Notes are converted into the Shares of the Issuer in accordance with these Conditions.

 

6.2. Conversion Procedure

 

  (a) Conversion Notice

 

  (i) To exercise the Conversion Right attaching to any Note, the holder thereof must complete, execute and deliver at his own expense during normal business hours at the specified office of the Issuer a duly completed and signed notice of conversion (a “Conversion Notice”) in the form scheduled to this Certificate as Exhibit C (Form of Conversion Notice), together with the relevant Certificate. Conversion Rights shall be exercised subject in each case to any applicable fiscal or other laws or regulations applicable in the jurisdiction in which the specified office of the Issuer is located.

 

  (ii) If such delivery is made after the end of normal business hours or on a day which is not a business day in the place of the specified office of the Issuer, such delivery shall be deemed for all purposes of these Conditions to have been made on the next immediately following business day.

 

  (iii) Conversion Rights may be exercised in respect of the principal amount represented by a Note in whole or in part but may only be exercised in one or more Authorized Denomination(s).

 

  (iv) The conversion date in respect of a Note as specified in the Conversion Notice (the “Conversion Date”) must fall at a time when the Conversion Right attaching to that Note is expressed in these Conditions to be exercisable and will be deemed to be the Business Day immediately following the date of the surrender of the Certificate in respect of such Note and delivery of such Conversion Notice to the Issuer and, if applicable, any payment to be made or indemnity given under these Conditions in connection with the exercise of such Conversion Right.

 

  (v) A Conversion Notice once delivered shall be irrevocable and may not be withdrawn unless the Issuer consents in writing to such withdrawal, in which case, the Conversion Right attaching to such Note shall revive and the Note will remain outstanding.

 

  (b) Taxes etc.

A Noteholder exercising Conversion Rights must pay directly to the relevant authorities any Taxes arising on such exercise (other than any Taxes payable in the Cayman Islands, if any, and in the place of the Relevant Stock Exchange at the relevant time by the Issuer in respect of the deposit of Certificates for the conversion of Notes, the allotment and issue and delivery of Shares following such deposit and the listing and admission to trading of such Shares on the Relevant Stock Exchange on conversion, which, in each case, shall be payable by the Issuer) and such Noteholder must pay all, if any, Taxes arising by reference to any disposal or deemed disposal of a Note in connection with such conversion. The Issuer will pay all other expenses arising on the issue of Shares on conversion of Notes (including all expenses in respect of the listing and admission to trading of such Shares on the Relevant Stock Exchange) and all charges of the share transfer agent for the Shares. The Noteholder (and, if applicable, the person other than the Noteholder to whom the Shares are to be issued) must provide the Issuer with confirmation of payment to the relevant tax authorities in settlement of Taxes payable by it pursuant to this paragraph (b).

 

- 6 -


  (c) Registration

 

  (i) Upon exercise by a Noteholder of its Conversion Right and compliance with paragraphs (a) and (b) of Condition 6.2 (Conversion Procedure), the Issuer will, as soon as practicable and in any event not later than five Business Days after the Conversion Date, register the person or persons designated for the purpose in the Conversion Notice as holder(s) of the relevant number of Shares in the Issuer’s register of members and will, if the relevant Noteholder has also requested in the Conversion Notice and to the extent that the Shares are cleared and settled through a clearing system, take all necessary action to procure that the Shares are delivered in dematerialized format through the relevant clearing system or make such certificate or certificates available for collection at the office of the Issuer’s share registrar notified to Noteholders in accordance with Condition 15 (Notices) or, if so requested in the relevant Conversion Notice, will cause the Issuer’s share registrar to mail (at the risk, and, if sent at the request of the relevant Noteholder otherwise than by ordinary mail, at the expense, of the relevant Noteholder and any person to whom such certificate or certificates are sent) such certificate or certificates to the person and at the place specified in the Conversion Notice, together (in any case) with any other securities, property or cash required to be delivered upon conversion and such assignments and other documents (if any) as may be required by law to effect the transfer thereof. A single share certificate will be issued in respect of all Shares issued on conversion of Notes subject to the same Conversion Notice and which are to be registered in the same name.

 

  (ii) If the Conversion Date in relation to the conversion of any Note shall be after the record date for any issue, distribution, grant, offer or other event as gives rise to the adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to Condition 6.3 (Adjustments to Conversion Price) but before the relevant adjustment becomes effective under the relevant Condition (a “Retroactive Adjustment”), then upon the relevant adjustment becoming effective, the Issuer shall issue to the converting Noteholder or a Qualifying Affiliate (or in accordance with the instructions contained in the Conversion Notice (subject to applicable exchange control or other laws or other regulations)) such additional number of Shares (“Additional Shares”) as is, together with Shares to be issued on conversion of the Note(s), equal to the number of Shares which would have been required to be issued on conversion of such Note if the relevant adjustment to the Conversion Price had been made and become effective on or immediately after the relevant record date and in such event and in respect of such Additional Shares references in this paragraph (c) of Condition 6.2 (Conversion Procedure) to the Conversion Date shall be deemed to refer to the date upon which the Retroactive Adjustment becomes effective (notwithstanding that the date upon which it becomes effective falls after the end of the Conversion Period).

 

- 7 -


  (iii) The person or persons specified for that purpose in the Conversion Notice will become the holder of record of the number of Shares issuable upon conversion with effect from the date he is or they are registered as such in the Issuer’s register of members (the “Registration Date”). The Shares issued upon exercise of Conversion Rights will be fully-paid, non-assessable and free from encumbrances and in all respects rank pari passu with the fully-paid Shares in issue on the relevant Registration Date and except that such Shares will not rank for (or, as the case may be, the relevant holder shall not be entitled to receive) any rights, distributions or payments the record or other due date for the establishment of entitlement for which falls prior to the relevant Registration Date.

 

  (iv) If the record date for the payment of any dividend or other distribution in respect of the Shares is on or after the Conversion Date in respect of any Note, but before the Registration Date (disregarding any Retroactive Adjustment of the Conversion Price referred to in paragraph (iii) above prior to the time such Retroactive Adjustment shall have become effective), the Issuer will calculate and pay to the converting Noteholder or his designee an amount in US dollars (or, if such amount is not in US dollars, translated into US dollars at the Spot Rate of Exchange) equal to the fair market value of such dividend or other distribution to which he would have been entitled had he on that record date been such a shareholder of record, as determined by the board of directors of the Issuer acting reasonably and in good faith, and will make the payment at the same time as it makes payment of the dividend or other distribution, or as soon as practicable thereafter, but, in any event, not later than five Business Days thereafter. Any such amount shall be paid by transfer to a US dollar account maintained by the payee, in accordance with the instructions given by the relevant Noteholder in the relevant Conversion Notice.

 

6.3. Adjustments to Conversion Price

The Conversion Price, and the number and type of securities to be received upon conversion of the Note or Notes is subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

  (a) Dividend, Subdivision, Combination or Share Split of Shares or Equity Interests

In the event that the Issuer shall at any time or from time to time, prior to conversion of all outstanding Notes:

 

  (i) pay a dividend, or make a distribution on the outstanding Shares or any Equity Interests, payable in Shares or Equity Interests;

 

  (ii) subdivide or split the outstanding Equity Interests into a larger number of Equity Interests;

 

  (iii) combine or consolidate the outstanding Equity Interests into a smaller number of Equity Interests; or

 

- 8 -


  (iv) any reclassification of the Shares (other than as a result of a share dividend, subdivision or consolidation) occurs, then:

 

  (A) in the case of an event under paragraphs (i) or (ii) above, the Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the payment of such dividend or distribution or with the effectiveness of such subdivision or split, be proportionately decreased;

 

  (B) in the case of an event under paragraph (iii) above, the Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased; and

 

  (C) in the case of an event under paragraph (iv) above, provision shall be made so that upon conversion of the Notes, the holder thereof shall receive the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property which such holder would have received in connection with such event had the Notes been converted into the Shares immediately prior to such event.

 

  (b) Issuance of Shares or Equity Interests below Conversion Price

 

  (i) If the Issuer shall, at any time prior to the completion of an IPO or conversion of all outstanding Notes, whichever is earlier, issue any Shares or Equity Interests (other than any Shares or Equity Interests issued as part of the IPO itself) at an Issue Price that is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance, then the Conversion Price then in effect shall be adjusted as follows:

ACP = CP * (OS + (NP/CP)) ÷ (OS + NS)

Where:

 

“ACP”

   =    the adjusted Conversion Price;

CP

   =    the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of the new Shares or Equity Interests;

OS

   =    the total number of Shares outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of the new Shares or Equity Interests, calculated on a fully diluted basis;

NP

   =    the total consideration received for the issuance of the new Shares or Equity Interests;

NS

   =    the total number of new Shares or Equity Interests issued, calculated on a fully diluted basis; and

Issue Price

   =    For the purposes of this section, the “Issue Price” of an Equity Interest shall be equal to the quotient of (x) divided by (y), where:

 

- 9 -


  (x) = the aggregate amount of cash and non-cash consideration (the value of which shall be determined pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below) paid for such Equity Interest plus, if applicable, any additional consideration payable (without regard to any anti-dilution adjustments) upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of such Equity Interest; and
  (y) = the number of Shares as represents such Equity Interest or into or for which such Equity Interest will convert, exchange or exercise,

provided that if there was an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Condition 6.3 prior to an adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (b) of this Condition 6.3, when calculating the adjusted Conversion Price pursuant to this paragraph (b) of this Condition 6.3, “CP” shall be deemed to be the CP After ESOP.

 

  (ii) If the terms of any Equity Interest of the Issuer other than the Notes are amended, modified or adjusted in any manner that results in a reduction of the Issue Price of such Equity Interest, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted or further adjusted (as the case may be) in accordance with paragraph (b)(i) of Condition 6.3 (Adjustments to Conversion Price), as if the Issue Price of such Equity Interest after such reduction had been the original Issue Price of such Equity Interest.

 

  (iii) In case of any merger, amalgamation, arrangement or consolidation of the Issuer or any capital reorganization, reclassification or other change of outstanding Shares (each, a “Transaction”), the rights of the holders of the Notes shall continue to be recognized and not be prejudiced by such Transaction and appropriate provision shall be made therefor in the agreement, if any, relating to such Transaction, and adjustments shall be made in a manner that is as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in Condition 6.3 (Adjustments to Conversion Price). The provisions of this paragraph (iii) shall apply to successive transactions.

 

  (iv) If at any time any Shares or Equity Interests shall be issued (each, a “Future Subscription”) for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be the aggregate amount of cash received by the Issuer therefor, without any deduction for any expenses incurred or any underwriting commissions or concessions or discounts paid or allowed by the Issuer in connection therewith. In case of a Future Subscription for consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Issuer shall be deemed to be the fair market value of such consideration as determined by the board of directors of the Issuer acting reasonably and in good faith.

 

  (c) Other Events

In case the Issuer at any time or from time to time, prior to the conversion of all outstanding Notes, shall take any action affecting its Shares similar to or having an effect similar to any of the actions described in any of paragraph (c)(ii) of Condition 6.2 (Conversion Procedure) or paragraphs (a) and (b) of Condition 6.3 (Adjustments to Conversion Price), then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted in such manner as would be equitable in the circumstances.

 

- 10 -


  (d) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon adoption of ESOP

Upon the Issuer adopting any ESOP after the issuance of the Notes, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adoption shall be automatically adjusted downwards to a new conversion price (“CP After ESOP”) which results in (i) the percentage of Shares held by each Noteholder on a fully diluted and fully converted basis immediately prior to such adoption of any ESOP being equal to (ii) the percentage of Shares held by each Noteholder on a fully diluted and fully converted basis immediately after such adoption of any ESOP.

 

7. PAYMENTS

 

7.1. Principal and any other amounts

 

  (a) Payment of principal, interest and any other amount due in respect of the Notes will be made by transfer to the Registered Account of the Noteholder. Such payment will be made after the relevant Certificate has been surrendered by the relevant Noteholder at the specified office of the Issuer.

  (b) in accordance with the procedure, at the seat specified in the arbitration clause in the relevant Transaction Document under which the arbitration panel that ordered the consolidation was appointed, save as otherwise agreed by all parties to the consolidated proceedings or, in the absence of such agreement, ordered by the arbitration panel in the consolidated proceedings.

 

19.4. Process

If the Issuer ceases to have an agent to accept service of process in Hong Kong, it shall forthwith appoint a further agent in Hong Kong to accept service of process on its behalf in Hong Kong and notify the Noteholders of such appointment, and, failing such appointment within 15 days, the Majority Noteholders shall be entitled to appoint such a person by notice to the Issuer and the other Noteholders (at the Issuer’s expense). Nothing in this Condition 19.4 shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
