For a detailed description of the Merger Agreement and related transactions (the “ Transactions ”), see the Form 6-K filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 6, 2018, including the exhibits thereto.

 

As a condition to Parent’s and Merger Sub’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Dongfeng entered into the following contractual arrangements:

Dongfeng and other existing shareholders in the Issuer—L & L Horizon, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, BPEA Teamsport Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and The Crawford Group, Inc., a Missouri corporation (collectively the “ Rollover Shareholders ”)—entered into a contribution and support agreement dated as of April 6, 2018 (the “ Contribution and Support Agreement ”) with Teamsport Topco Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“ Holdco ”), Teamsport Midco Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco and the parent of Parent (“ Midco ”), and Parent, and pursuant to which each Rollover Shareholder, including Dongfeng, agreed subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein and among other obligations and conditions, (a) to the contribution of all of his or its Shares to Holdco in exchange for newly issued ordinary shares of Holdco immediately prior to the closing of the Merger in accordance with the terms thereof, and (b) to vote all of his or its Securities (as defined in the Contribution and Support Agreement) in favor of approval of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the Transactions, upon the terms and conditions set forth therein.

 

Dongfeng, the other Rollover Shareholders, MBK Partners Fund IV, L.P., The Baring Asia Private Equity Fund VI, L.P.1 and certain of its affiliates, and RedStone Capital Management (Cayman) Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (collectively, the “ Investors ”) entered into an interim investors agreement dated as of April 6, 2018 (the “ Interim Investors Agreement ”) with Holdco, Midco, Parent and Merger Sub, pursuant to which the parties thereto agreed to certain terms and conditions that will govern the actions of Holdco, Midco, Parent and Merger Sub and the relationship among the Investors with respect to the Transactions.

 

Finally, Dongfeng issued a limited guarantee dated April 6, 2018 in favor of the Issuer (the “ Guarantee ”), pursuant to which Dongfeng agreed to pay to the Issuer a percentage of termination and other fees and expenses, if and to the extent that the fees became payable under the Merger Agreement.

 

On April 6, 2014, the Issuer announced in a press release that it had entered into the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer continuing as the Surviving Company. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, (a) each Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be cancelled in consideration for the right to receive US$6.75 per Share, and (b) each American depository share (“ ADS ”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be cancelled in consideration for the right to receive US$13.50 per ADS (less US$0.05 per ADS cancellation fees), in each case, in cash, without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes, except for (i) Rollover Shares, which will be contributed by the Rollover to Holdco in exchange for newly issued shares of Holdco and thereafter contributed by Holdco to Midco and by Midco to Parent and continue as ordinary shares of the Surviving Company without payment of any consideration or distribution therefor, (ii) Common Shares held by Parent, the Issuer or any of their subsidiaries immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, which will be cancelled without payment of any consideration or distribution therefor, and (iii) Common Shares held by shareholders who shall have validly exercised and not effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to dissent from the Merger, which will be cancelled and will entitle the former holders thereof to receive the fair value thereon in accordance with such holder’s dissenters’ rights under the Cayman Islands Companies Law. The Merger is subject to the approval of the Issuer’s shareholders, the consent of the requisite holders of the senior unsecured notes issued by the Company in 2015 and 2017, if applicable, and various other closing conditions.

 

If the Merger is consummated, the Issuer will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, the ADSs would be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange, the Issuer’s obligations to file periodic reports under the Act would be terminated, and the Issuer will be privately held by the Investors.

 

Consummation of the Transactions 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 Investors, and a change in the Issuer’s memorandum and articles of association to reflect that the Issuer would become a privately held company.

 

Dongfeng reserves the right to change its plans and intentions in connection with any of the actions discussed in this Item 4 and may, from time to time, formulate other purposes, plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or any other actions that could involve one or more of the types of transactions or have one or more of the results described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Any action taken by the Dongfeng 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 agreements referenced herein.
