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 Support Agreements, 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, and security holders 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 Proposed Acquisition. 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.

 

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 of the HSL Original Schedule 13D is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

Shah, Shah Capital, Shah Opportunity, Ronghui Zhang, WSL, Wei Zhang, Hui Lin, RSL, Hanying Li, LSL, Renny Consulting, Song Gao, Peiyuan Qiu, Smart Best, Zhengjun Zhang, Nan Lu, Jianhua Wang, Ailin Xin and Ring & King. As a result, the group may be deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership of all the Shares beneficially owned by each member of the “group”. As such, the group may be deemed to beneficially own in the aggregate 49,567,102 Shares, which represents approximately 72.8% of the total outstanding Shares. Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents, however, shall be deemed to constitute an admission by the Reporting Persons that any of them is the beneficial owner of any of the Shares beneficially owned in the aggregate by other members of the “group” and their respective affiliates for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.

 

(c)The following table sets forth all transactions with respect to Shares effected during the past sixty (60) days by any of the Reporting Persons and not previously reported on Schedule 13D. All such transactions were purchases of Shares effected in the open market.
