- 11 -


As of the date of this Statement, S&T International Distribution Ltd. (“S&T”) has the direct power to vote and direct the disposition of the 15,243,283 Shares (the “Emerson Shares”). As the sole parent of S&T, Grande N.A.K.S. Ltd. (“N.A.K.S.”) has the indirect power to vote and dispose of the Emerson Shares held for the account of S&T. As the sole parent of N.A.K.S., The Grande Holdings Limited (“Grande Holdings”) has the indirect power to vote and dispose of the Emerson Shares held for the account of S&T. As the owners of approximately 73.65% in the aggregate of Grande Holdings, Sino Bright, Grosvenor, Barrican, McVitie and THFTL, and, as the sole parent of Barrican, Airwave, share the indirect power to vote and dispose of the Emerson Shares held for the account of S&T. Sino Bright individually holds approximately 66.27% of Grande Holdings and so has the indirect power to vote and dispose of the Emerson Shares held for the account of S&T. Barrican individually holds approximately 6.10% of Grande Holdings. McVitie individually holds approximately 1.28% of Grande Holdings. Barrican is the sole parent of McVitie. Barrican acquired McVitie on June 28, 2016. As the sole parent of Sino Bright, Grosvenor and Airwave, THFTL has the indirect power to vote and dispose of the Emerson Shares held for the account of S&T.

Mr. Ho is a discretionary beneficiary of the Ho Family Trust. Mr. Ho does not have the indirect power to vote or dispose of the Emerson Shares held for the account of S&T by reason of his status as one of the discretionary beneficiaries of the Ho Family Trust. Nonetheless, Mr. Ho is the Chief Executive Officer of THFTL and Chairman of the Board of Emerson. As a result, Mr. Ho may be deemed to share the power to direct the voting and disposition of the Emerson Shares held for the account of S&T and may accordingly be deemed to be a beneficial owner of such Emerson Shares.

Set forth on Annex A to this Statement is a chart setting forth, with respect to each executive officer, director and controlling person of each referenced Reporting Person, his or her name, residence or business address, present principal occupation or employment (along with the name, principal business and address of any corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted) and citizenship, in each case as of the date hereof.

During the last five years, no Reporting Person nor any person listed on Annex A has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors). During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons nor any persons listed on Annex A has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceedings was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

None of the Emerson Shares are directly held or were directly acquired by any of the Reporting Persons.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

On May 26, 2016, Fok Hei Yu (who is also known by the anglicized name Vincent Fok), formerly a director and Chairman of the Board of Emerson, and Roderick John Sutton, both of FTI Consulting (Hong Kong) Limited, the Joint and Several Provisional Liquidators over Grande Holdings were released and discharged by the Hong Kong Court, the winding up of Grande Holdings was permanently stayed, Grande Holdings fulfilled all of the resumption conditions imposed on Grande Holdings by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (“HKEX”) and Grande Holdings made application to the HKEX for the resumption of trading in its shares on the HKEX with effect from May 30, 2016 (the “Grande Resumption”). The resumption of trading of Grande Holdings’ shares on HKEX occurred on May 30, 2016.

 

- 12 -


Furthermore, upon the completion of the Grande Resumption, certain companies which are Reporting Persons in this Schedule 13D held approximately, in the aggregate, a 72.26% shareholding in Grande Holdings, and as of the date of this filing, hold approximately, in the aggregate, a 73.65% shareholding in Grande Holdings, and therefore beneficially control the voting and disposition of the 15,243,283 shares of Emerson beneficially owned by Grande Holdings through certain of Grande Holdings’ subsidiaries.

Michael Binney and Kin Yuen were appointed to fill vacancies on the Board of Directors of Emerson. The vacancies resulted from the resignation of five Emerson directors following the completion of the restructuring of Grande Holdings. The Emerson Board of Directors has been reduced from seven to five members, and following the three above-referenced appointments, there are no remaining vacancies on the Emerson Board of Directors. Messrs. Ho, Binney and Yuen were recommended to the Emerson Board of Directors by Grande Holdings. Mr. Binney also serves as Deputy Chief Executive Officer – Financial Accounting and Company Secretarial of Grande Holdings, with effect from June 20, 2016. Messrs. Ho, Binney and Yuen, as three of the five members of the Emerson Board of Directors, may have influence over the corporate activities of Emerson, including activities which may relate to transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of securities of Emerson at prices that would make the purchase or sale of such securities desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to increase or decrease their respective positions in Emerson through, among other things, the purchase or sale of securities of Emerson on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, including through a trading plan created under Rule 10b5-1(c) or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.

No Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a)—(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon or in connection with completion of, or following, any of the actions discussed herein. The Reporting Persons may take positions and/or make proposals with respect to, or with respect to potential changes in, the operations, management, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws, Board composition, ownership, capital or corporate structure, dividend policy, potential acquisitions or sales involving Emerson or certain of Emerson’s businesses or assets including advocating for a sales process, including a transaction in which the Reporting Persons may participate, strategy and plans of Emerson, or may change their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in Emerson on a continuing basis and will from time to time in the future continue to express their views to and/or meet with management, the Board, other shareholders or third parties, including, service providers and financing sources, and/or may formulate plans or proposals regarding Emerson, its assets or its securities. Such proposals or positions may include one or more plans that relate to or would result in any of the actions set forth in subparagraphs (a)—(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.”
