Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

On January 1, 2018, MBK Partners HK Limited and Mr. RuiPing Zhang (“ Mr.  Zhang ”) submitted a preliminary, non-binding proposal to the Issuer (the “ Proposal ”), pursuant to which they proposed to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of the Issuer (the “ Common Shares ”) (including Common Shares represented by ADSs) for US$13.35 in cash per ADS or US$6.675 in cash per Common Share (such proposed acquisition, the “ Proposed Transaction ”). The Proposal superseded and replaced the preliminary, non-binding proposal submitted by Goliath Advisors Limited to the Issuer on November 26, 2017, pursuant to which it proposed to acquire all of the outstanding Common Shares (including Common Shares represented by ADSs) for the same price per ADS and the same price per Common Share set forth in the Proposal.

On February 23, 2018, (i) Fastforward Company Ltd (“ MBKP SPV ”), an affiliate of MBK Partners Fund IV, L.P., (ii) Baring SPV, and (iii) Mr. Zhang (MBKP SPV, Baring SPV and Mr. Zhang together the “ Consortium ” and each a “ Consortium Member ”) entered into a consortium term sheet (the “ Consortium Term Sheet ”) setting forth non-binding, indicative terms regarding the Consortium and the Proposed Transaction, except for certain terms that are legally binding among the Consortium Members.

On February 23, 2018, Baring SPV entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “ SPA ”) with Tiger Global Mauritius Fund, a Mauritius company limited by shares (“ TGMF ”), for the purchase of the Subject ADSs (the “ ADS Purchase ”). The closing of the transaction contemplated by the SPA (the “ Closing ”) is scheduled to occur on or prior to May 30, 2018. The initial purchase price is US$12.00 per ADS, subject to adjustment as provided in the SPA, for an aggregate purchase price for all Subject ADSs of approximately $63.2 million, subject to adjustment as provided in the SPA (the “ Purchase Price ”). Pursuant to the terms of the SPA, Baring SPV paid TGMF a deposit of approximately US$6.3 million, which will be credited against the Purchase Price at the Closing and in certain circumstances may be forfeited in connection with the termination of the SPA. The SPA also provides that, in the event (i) the Issuer enters into a definitive agreement with the Consortium or any affiliates thereof with respect to the Proposed Transaction, (ii) the Proposed Transaction is submitted for the authorization of the Issuer’s shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting, and (iii) the Closing has occurred, and TGMF, for any reason, is entitled to vote or give voting instructions with respect to the Subject ADSs at such extraordinary general meeting, TGMF grants to Baring SPV a proxy to vote and/or give voting instructions with respect to the Subject ADSs in any manner deemed appropriate by Baring SPV.

The information disclosed in this Item 4 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Proposal, the Consortium Term Sheet and the SPA, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 7.02, 7.03 and 7.04, respectively, and which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

If the Proposed Transaction is entered into and consummated, the ADSs will no longer be traded on the New York Stock Exchange and the registration of the ADSs under Section 12 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, will be terminated. No assurance can be given that any proposal, any definitive agreement or any transaction relating to the Proposed Transaction will be entered into or consummated. The Proposal provides that a binding commitment with respect to the Proposed Transaction will result only from the execution of definitive agreements, and then only on the terms and conditions provided in such documentation.

The Reporting Persons reserve their right to change their plans and intentions in connection with any of the actions discussed in this Item 4. Any action taken by the Reporting Persons may be effected at any time or from time to time, subject to any applicable limitations imposed thereon by any applicable laws and the terms of the Consortium Term Sheet. Subject to the terms of the Consortium Term Sheet, the Reporting Persons may, from time to time, acquire or cause affiliates to acquire additional Common Shares and/or ADSs, dispose of some or all of their Common Shares and/or ADSs, engage in short-selling or hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Common Shares and/or ADSs, and/or continue to hold Common Shares and/or ADSs.

In addition, consummation of the Proposed Transaction could result in one or more of the actions specified in clauses (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, including the acquisition or disposition of securities of the Issuer, a merger or other extraordinary transaction involving the Issuer, a change to the board of directors of the Issuer (as the surviving company in a merger) to consist solely of persons to be designated by the Consortium Members, and a change in the Issuer’s memorandum and articles of association to reflect that the Issuer would become a privately held company.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a)    The responses of the Reporting Persons to Rows (7) through (13) of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D are incorporated herein by reference.

As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons may be deemed under Rule 13d-3 to beneficially own 10,528,160 Class A Shares represented by the Subject ADSs pursuant to the terms of the SPA described in Item 4 and incorporated herein by reference, which represent approximately 14.2% of the outstanding Class A Shares (based on 74,279,018 Class A Shares outstanding as of October 31, 2017, as set forth in the Issuer’s proxy statement, filed under cover of Form 6-K on November 30, 2017 (the “ Proxy Statement ”)).

The Reporting Persons may be deemed to be a “group” with Mr. Zhang and his affiliates pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Act as a result of entering into the Consortium Term Sheet (as described in Item 4). However, each of the Reporting Persons expressly disclaims beneficial ownership for all purposes of the Common Shares and ADSs beneficially owned (or deemed to be beneficially owned) by Mr. Zhang and his affiliates. The Reporting Persons are only responsible for the information contained in this Schedule 13D and assume no responsibility for information contained in any other Schedules 13D filed by Mr. Zhang and his affiliates.

(b)    The responses of the Reporting Persons to Rows (7) through (13) of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D and Item 5(a) are incorporated herein by reference.

Although the Reporting Persons do not currently have the power to vote or dispose of the 10,528,160 Class A Shares represented by the Subject ADSs that the Reporting Persons may be deemed under Rule 13d-3 to beneficially own pursuant to the terms of the SPA described in Item 4 and incorporated herein by reference, the Reporting Persons may be deemed under Rule 13d-3 to share voting and dispositive power with respect to such 10,528,160 Class A Shares represented by the Subject ADSs.

(c)     Except as set forth in Items 3 and 4, to the best knowledge of each of the Reporting Persons, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transactions relating to the Common Shares during the past 60 days.
