KINGTONE WIRELESSINFO SOLUTION HOLDING LTD

 

General

 

We are a holding company and conduct our operations through a contractually-controlled entity in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) named Xi’an Kingtone Information Technology Co., Ltd., a PRC limited liability company (“Kingtone Information”) that develops and provides mobile enterprise solutions in the PRC. In May 2010, we consummated an initial public offering of our American Depository Shares, or ADSs, for gross proceeds of $16 million, and our ADSs were listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the ticker symbol “KONE”.

 

On January 25, 2018, the Company executed an Asset Exchange Agreement (“AEA”) with C Media Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“C Media”), whereby Kingtone agreed to purchase all the capital stock and equity interests of LK Technology Ltd, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries MMB Limited and Mobile Media (China) Limited and all respective subsidiaries from C Media in exchange for (i) 185,412,599 ordinary shares of Kingtone, par value $0.01 per share (“Ordinary Shares”), (ii) 1,000,000 preferred shares of Kingtone (“Preferred Shares”) and (iii) all issued and outstanding capital stock or equity interests of the Company’s subsidiary, Topsky Info-Tech Holdings Pte Ltd., and its wholly-owned subsidiary Xi’an Softech Co., Ltd., including all entities effectively controlled by Xi’an Softech Co., Ltd. through contractual arrangements and variable business entities.

 

In order to consummate the contemplated transactions described above, the Company must obtain shareholders’ consent (i) to authorize 1,000,000 Preferred Shares, (ii) to authorize additional Ordinary Shares so that total authorized Ordinary Shares is equal to 250,000,000 shares, (iii) to list such Ordinary Shares on NASDAQ, and (iv) to approve the transactions contemplated in the Asset Exchange Agreement. Additionally, NASDAQ must approve the contemplated transactions prior to consummation thereof. C Media has the right to terminate the AEA if the closing has not occurred (other than through the failure of C Media to comply fully with its obligations under the AEA) on or before July 31, 2018. A special meeting of the shareholders was held on May 22, 2018 when the proposals above were passed by the shareholders.

 

The Preferred Shares to be created and authorized shall initially have a per-share voting weight of 399 votes of Ordinary Shares. In the event of the public resale of a Preferred Share to a third party, such Preferred Share’s voting weight will be reduced to one vote per share. The Preferred Shares will have the same economic rights, rights to dividends and other distribution rights as the Ordinary Shares, and holders of Preferred Shares shall be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company shareholders. The Preferred Shares will be transferable by Mr. Xuesong Song to any third party through one or more private transactions (subject to applicable law).

 

C Media Limited, through its subsidiaries in China, is one of the leading mobile service and technology providers of long distance travel and the railway Wi-Fi market in China. C Media’s core mobile application product Luokuang, is made as a Location Based Service-social contents and service distribution platform. Luokuang obtains travel users by the typical entrance for long-distance travel. It accesses long-distance travel users continually by offering free Wi-Fi services by system deployed on the train. As of the end of 2017, C Media has signed contracts to deploy Luokuang on about 700 trains which subsequently has access to approximately 500 million passenger trips per year. The number of trains currently in operation with Luokuang by C Media is 286 (about 430 train trips), which covers about 200 million passenger trips per year. As of the end of 2017, users for Luokuang were 38 million, which will increase after more trains are deployed with Luokuang system.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The selling shareholder and any of his pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their ordinary shares on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or quoted or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling shareholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits investors;

 

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

  4  

 

 

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

privately negotiated transactions;

 

to cover short sales made after the date that this registration statement is declared effective by the SEC;

 

broker-dealers may agree with the selling shareholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The selling shareholder may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling shareholder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling shareholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling shareholder do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

 

The selling shareholder may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell ordinary shares from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling shareholder to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling shareholder under this prospectus.

 

The selling shareholder also may transfer the ordinary shares in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

 

The selling shareholder and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the sale of ordinary shares will be paid by the selling shareholder and/or the purchasers. The selling shareholder have represented and warranted to the Company that they acquired the securities subject to this registration statement in the ordinary course of the selling shareholder’ business and, at the time of their purchase of such securities the selling shareholder had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute any such securities.

 

The selling shareholder and any other person participating in a distribution of the ordinary shares covered by this prospectus will be subject to the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. Regulation M of the Exchange Act may limit the timing of purchases and sales of securities by the selling shareholder and any other person. In addition, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the securities being offered pursuant to this prospectus to engage in market-making activities with respect to our securities for a period of up to five business days before the distribution.

 

The Company is required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares, but the Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of ordinary shares.

LEGAL MATTERS

 

Certain legal matters under BVI law will be passed upon for us by Conyers Dill & Pearman, 29th Floor One Exchange Square, 8 Connaught Place, Central, Hong Kong.

 

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

 

Kingtone Wirelessinfo Solution Holding Ltd is a BVI company and our principal executive offices are located in China. A majority of our directors and officers reside outside the United States. In addition, almost all of our assets and the assets of our directors and officers are located outside the United States. As a result, you may have difficulty serving legal process within the United States upon us or any of these persons. You may also have difficulty enforcing, both in and outside the United States, judgments you may obtain in the United States courts against us or these persons in any action, including actions based upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal or state securities laws. Furthermore, it is uncertain whether the courts of the BVI would enter judgments in original actions brought in those courts predicated on United States federal or state securities laws.

 

EXPERTS

 

The consolidated financial statements of Kingtone Wirelessinfo Solution Holding Ltd, as of September 30, 2017 and 2016 and for the years ended September 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015 included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended September 30, 2017 and incorporated by reference herein and in the registration statement, have been audited by BDO China Shu Lun Pan Certified Public Accountants LLP,an independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in their report thereon, and incorporated by reference elsewhere herein.

The offices of BDO China Shu Lun Pan Certified Public Accountants LLP are located at 10th Floor, Building 7, Yard 16, Xisihuan Zhong Road, Hai Dian District, Beijing, P.R.China.

 

INDEMNIFICATION

 

Insofar as indemnification by us for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling the company pursuant to provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification by such director, officer or controlling person of us in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being offered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(a) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law,

 

(b) for the violation of any provision of the Act, as amended from time to time, that expressly provides for liability of directors or officers notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary.

 

ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.  

 

Not Applicable.

 

ITEM 8. EXHIBITS.

 

See the attached Exhibit Index at page 12, which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.

 

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

 

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high and of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; and

 

(iii) To include any additional or changed material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement;

 

provided, however , that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
