The Buyer Consortium (as defined in Item 4 below) anticipates that, at the price per Ordinary Share set forth in the Proposal (as described in Item 4 below), approximately US$1.9 billion will be required for the proposed transaction.

ITEM 4.PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION

 

Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the following:

 

Consortium Agreement

 

On February 9, 2021, NFPH, Carnival, Mr. Kam Chung Leung, Ms. Roberta Lipson, Max Rising, Mr. Carl Wu, Mr. Ying Zeng, Vivo LLC, NF SPAC, Sun Hing, Shimao, Aspex Fund, Hysan and LY (collectively, the “Buyer Consortium”) entered into a consortium agreement (the “Consortium Agreement”). Pursuant to the Consortium Agreement, on February 9, 2021, the Buyer Consortium submitted a preliminary, non-binding proposal (the “Proposal”) to the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) to acquire all outstanding Ordinary Shares, which would result in the Issuer becoming a private, wholly owned subsidiary of such entities (the “Merger”). The terms of the Proposal state that in connection with the Merger, each outstanding Ordinary Share (other than those owned by members of the Buyer Consortium which will be rolled over for the purpose of funding the Merger), will be converted into the right to receive a purchase price of US$12.00 per Ordinary Share. The Proposal is subject to negotiation with the Board, and there can be no guarantee that the Merger will be completed in accordance with the terms of the Proposal or at all.

 

Pursuant to the Consortium Agreement, NFPH and the other parties thereto have agreed that for a period ending on the earlier of (i) the termination of the Consortium Agreement pursuant to its terms and (ii) the date that is twenty-four (24) months after the date of the Consortium Agreement, each party shall (a) work exclusively with the other parties to the Consortium Agreement to effect the Merger and shall not, either directly or through any affiliate, make, solicit, encourage or facilitate a competing acquisition proposal or acquire the beneficial ownership of any additional Ordinary Shares, except in connection with the equity incentive awards granted by the Issuer or exercise of any warrants already held by such party, (b) irrevocably agree to vote any Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by such party, or which may be beneficially owned by such party in the future, in favor of the Merger and any related transactions, (c) not transfer any Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by such party, or which may be beneficially owned by such party in the future, to any person other than any affiliate of such party who is bound by the Consortium Agreement, and (d) roll over all of the Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by such party, or which may be beneficially owned by such party in the future, to fund the Merger.

 

The foregoing description of the Consortium Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the text of such agreements, which is attached as an exhibit hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

General

 

The Reporting Persons acquired the securities described in this Schedule 13D for investment purposes and intend to review their investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Any actions the Reporting Persons might undertake may be made at any time and from time to time without prior notice and will be dependent upon the Reporting Persons’ review of numerous factors, including, but not limited to: an ongoing evaluation of the Issuer’s business, financial condition, operations and prospects; price levels of the Issuer’s securities; general market, industry and economic conditions; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; and other future developments.

 

Subject to the terms of the Consortium Agreement, the Reporting Persons may acquire additional securities of the Issuer, or retain or sell all or a portion of the securities then held, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. In connection with the Proposal, the Reporting Persons may engage in discussions with management, the Board of Directors, and securityholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties or encourage, cause or seek to cause the Issuer or such persons to consider or explore extraordinary corporate transactions, including the Merger, changes to the capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; or other material changes to the Issuer’s business or corporate structure, including changes in management or the composition of the board of directors of the Issuer. There can be no assurance, however, that any proposed transaction would receive the requisite approvals from the respective governing bodies and shareholders, as applicable, or that any such transaction would be successfully implemented.

 

22

 

 

Other than as described above, the Reporting Persons do not currently have any plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)—(j) of Schedule 13D, although, depending on the factors discussed herein, the Reporting Persons may change their purpose or formulate different plans or proposals with respect thereto at any time.

 

ITEM 5.INTEREST OF SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

 

(a) and (b) The information contained on the cover pages to this Amendment No. 2 is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Group Interest

 

As a result of the execution of the Consortium Agreement, each Reporting Person may be deemed to be members of a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act comprising NFPH, Carnival, Mr. Kam Chung Leung, Ms. Roberta Lipson, Max Rising, Mr. Carl Wu, Mr. Ying Zeng, Vivo LLC, Nan Fung, Shimao, Aspex, Hysan and LY.

(b)               In order to facilitate the foregoing, each Party hereby authorizes and delegates to the Sponsor and the Joint Advisors the primary responsibility for negotiating with the Company (including the Special Committee) with respect to the Transaction, provided that the Sponsor shall act in good faith in discharging the foregoing responsibility by providing each other Party with a reasonable opportunity to review and provide input on the Definitive Documents and considering any such input in good faith.

 

Section 2.2                Proposal. On or about the date hereof, the Parties shall submit the Proposal to the Board.

 

Section 2.3                Holdco Ownership and Arrangements.

 

(a)               Prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Sponsor shall incorporate Holdco and, depending on the agreed structure, shall cause Holdco to incorporate Merger Sub, and any other intermediate holding companies, in each case, under the laws of such jurisdiction(s) and as otherwise may be agreed by all of the Parties.

 

(b)               Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, each Party’s ownership percentage of the Company on a look-through basis immediately following the Transaction (the “Contemplated Ownership Percentage” of such Party) shall be calculated based on the proportion that (i) the amount of cash paid, and the deemed value of the Covered Shares (based on the per share cash consideration offered under the Merger Agreement to shareholders of the Company that are not Affiliated with any member of the Buyer Consortium and, if applicable, the value of the relevant Company Warrant implied by such per share cash consideration) contributed, by such Party to Holdco, bears to (ii) the aggregate value contributed or deemed contributed by all Parties to Holdco (whether in the form of cash, Covered Shares or other consideration), in each case, as contemplated by the Definitive Documents, provided, however, that prior to the execution of the Definitive Documents, the Contemplated Ownership Percentage of each Party shall be as set forth opposite such Party’s name under the heading “Fee Sharing Percentage” in Schedule B (as may be updated from time to time by the Sponsor in accordance with Section 2.4), and that the Contemplated Ownership Percentage of any Party as calculated in this Section 2.3(b), unless otherwise agreed by such Party and the Sponsor, shall be capped at the percentage as set forth opposite such Party’s name under the heading “Fee Sharing Percentage” in Schedule B (as may be updated from time to time by the Sponsor in accordance with Section 2.4). Subject to Section 5.5, the obligation of the Parties to make cash or in-kind contributions to Holdco or purchase and pay for any Holdco equity securities shall be subject to (i) the execution and delivery of the Definitive Documents, and (ii) the satisfaction or waiver of the various conditions to the obligations of Holdco to be set forth in the Definitive Documents. For purposes of this Agreement, any references to any cash or in-kind contributions to Holdco or purchase of, or payment for, any Holdco equity securities by any Party shall be deemed to include contributions or purchase by such Party either directly as a shareholder of Holdco or indirectly through a shareholder of Holdco, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Party is obligated under this Agreement to contribute any cash to Holdco without the prior written consent of such Party (and any amount so consented to may not be subsequently changed except with the prior written consent of such Party).

Any additional party admitted to the Buyer Consortium pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall execute an adherence agreement to this Agreement in the form attached hereto as Schedule C (the “Deed of Adherence”), and upon its execution of the Deed of Adherence and acceptance of such Deed of Adherence by the Sponsor, such additional party shall become an “Additional Party” for purposes of this Agreement, and the Sponsor shall be entitled to update Schedule B based on the information contained in such Deed of Adherence (including by reducing the “Fee Sharing Percentage” of the other Parties set forth in Schedule B on a proportional basis as may be necessary to give effect to the “Fee Sharing Percentage” for such Additional Party) and deliver a copy of the updated Schedule B to each Party, whereupon the Schedule B so updated shall become binding on each Party.

Article X
MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section 10.1              Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes any previous oral or written agreements or arrangements among them or between any of them relating to its subject matter.

 

Section 10.2              Further Assurances. Each Party shall use all reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

 

Section 10.3               Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, it shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, in order to achieve the intent of the Parties to the maximum extent possible. In any event, the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, including that provision, in any other jurisdiction.

 

Section 10.4              Amendments; Waivers. Except for updates to Schedule B made in accordance with Section 2.4, neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended or otherwise modified other than by an instrument in writing signed by each of the Parties. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, discharged or terminated other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Party against whom the enforcement of such waiver, discharge or termination is sought. No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

 

Section 10.5               Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries. Other than as provided herein, the rights and obligations of each Party shall not be assigned without the prior consent of the other Parties; provided, however, the Sponsor may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any of its Affiliates but no such assignment shall relieve the Sponsor from any of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall be binding upon the respective heirs, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns of the Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as giving any person, other than the Parties and their heirs, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns any right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision hereof, in each case whether by virtue of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Ordinance (Cap. 623 of the Laws of Hong Kong) or otherwise.

 

 23 

 

 

Section 10.6              No Partnership or Agency. The Parties are independent and nothing in this Agreement constitutes a Party as the trustee, fiduciary, agent, employee, partner or joint venture of the other Party.

 

Section 10.7             Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and all counterparts taken together shall constitute one document.

 

Section 10.8             Governing Law and Venue.

 

(a)              This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed by and in accordance with the laws of Hong Kong without regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof.

 

(b)              Any Actions arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement shall be submitted to the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (“HKIAC”) and resolved in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of HKIAC in force at the relevant time and as may be amended by this Section 10.8 (the “Rules”). The place of arbitration shall be Hong Kong. The official language of the arbitration shall be English and the tribunal shall consist of three arbitrators (each, an “Arbitrator”). The claimant(s), irrespective of number, shall nominate jointly one Arbitrator; the respondent(s), irrespective of number, shall nominate jointly one Arbitrator; and a third Arbitrator will be nominated jointly by the first two Arbitrators and shall serve as chairman of the arbitration tribunal. In the event the claimant(s) or respondent(s) or the first two Arbitrators shall fail to nominate or agree the joint nomination of an Arbitrator or the third Arbitrator within the time limits specified by the Rules, such Arbitrator shall be appointed promptly by the HKIAC. The arbitration tribunal shall have no authority to award punitive or other punitive-type damages. The award of the arbitration tribunal shall be final and binding upon the disputing parties. Any party to an award may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of such award and, for purposes of the enforcement of such award, the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction and waive any defenses to such enforcement based on lack of personal jurisdiction or inconvenient forum.

 

(c)              Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties hereby consent to and agree that in addition to any recourse to arbitration as set out in Section 10.8(b), any Party may, to the extent permitted under the rules and procedures of the HKIAC, seek an interim injunction or other form of relief from the HKIAC as provided for in its Rules. Such application shall also be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of Hong Kong.

 

Section 10.9             Specific Performance. The Parties agree that the obligations imposed on them in this Agreement are special, unique and of an extraordinary character and irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly each Party to this Agreement (a) shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the forum described in Section 10.8, without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity, and (b) hereby waives any requirement for the posting of any bond or similar collateral in connection therewith. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that (i) any other Party has an adequate remedy at law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

 

Section 10.10            Limitation on Liability. The obligation of each Party under this Agreement is several (and not joint or joint and several).
