SUMMARY
TERM SHEET
This Summary Term Sheet summarizes
the material information with respect to the proposed “short-form” merger involving China Shengda Packaging Group Inc.,
referred to herein as “Shengda Packaging” or the “Issuer,” as a result of which the common stock of Shengda
Packaging will cease to be listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market and Shengda Packaging (as the surviving entity) will no longer be
required to file annual reports and other periodic reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the “SEC.”
This summary does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should read this entire Schedule 13E-3
and the other documents to which this Schedule 13E-3 refers for a more complete understanding of the transactions being contemplated,
how it affects you, what your rights are with respect to the merger as a stockholder of Shengda Packaging and the position of the
“Filing Persons” (as described below) on the fairness of the merger to you. The Filing Persons are required to file
this Schedule 13E-3 pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, referred to herein as the
“Securities Exchange Act” and “Rule 13e-3” thereunder. References to “Dollars” or “$”
in this Schedule 13E-3 are to United States Dollars and references to “RMB” or “renminbi” are to Chinese
Renminbi (RMB).
Purposes of the Merger (Page
14)
The purpose of the merger is to effect
a going-private transaction with respect to Shengda Packaging.
Mr. Nengbin Fang (the “Chairman”),
Mr. Wuxiao Fang, Ms. Congyi Fang, Mr. Yueming Qi, Mr. Baishun Shen, Mr. Guofang Wang, Mr. Zumao Shi, Ms. Lanfang Zhang,
Bigtree Capital Limited, Mr. Jinfa Ye, Mr. Huohong Wang, Mr. Daliang Teng, Ms. Haihua Yu, Envision Capital Partners, L.P., CSV
China Opportunities Fund, L.P., Ray Shi China Small Mid Cap Select Fund, LB Holdings II, LLC and Newberg Road Partners, L.P., collectively
referred to herein as the “Contributing Stockholders,” are currently the direct holders of approximately 90.8% of the
outstanding shares of common stock of Shengda Packaging, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”). Immediately prior
to the merger as described below, the Contributing Stockholders will contribute their Shares to Yida International Holdings Limited,
a newly formed British Virgin Islands company and referred to herein as “Parent,” which will in turn contribute all
of the Shares it will hold to Yida International Acquisition Limited, a newly formed Nevada company and a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Parent, referred to herein as “Merger Sub,” pursuant to the Contribution and Subscription Agreement, dated as of
May 21, 2015, by and among Parent, Merger Sub, the Chairman, Eastlake Capital Limited, a British Virgin Islands company wholly-owned
by the Chairman (“Chairman SPV”) and the other Contributing Stockholders (the “Contribution Agreement”),
which was filed as Exhibit 7.02 to a Schedule 13D as filed by the Contributing Stockholders with the SEC on May 21, 2015.
The Contributing Stockholders intend to cause Merger Sub to merge with Shengda Packaging in a “short-form” merger,
with Shengda Packaging continuing as the surviving corporation after the merger, as a means of acquiring all of the other Shares
of Shengda Packaging not owned directly or indirectly by the Contributing Stockholders and providing a source of immediate liquidity
to the holders of such Shares. Following the merger, Parent will own 100% of the common stock of Shengda Packaging.
Principal Terms of the Merger
(Page 53)
The Merger
Merger Sub is a newly formed Nevada
company created by Parent for the purpose of effecting a merger with Shengda Packaging. Upon the contribution by Parent of its
Shares to Merger Sub, Merger Sub will directly hold approximately 90.8% of the total outstanding Shares. At any time beginning
at least 20 days following the date of the mailing of this Schedule 13E-3, or such later time as may be required to comply
with Rule 13e-3 under the Securities Exchange Act, and all other applicable laws, Parent will cause Merger Sub to merge with Shengda
Packaging in a “short-form” merger under Chapter 92A.180 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, referred to herein as the
“NRS.” Shengda Packaging will be the surviving corporation after the merger.
No Vote Requirement
On
May 21, 2015, the board of directors of Merger Sub adopted a Plan and Agreement of Merger (the “Plan of Merger”) to
be effective upon the contribution by Parent of the Shares it will hold to Merger Sub, which will govern the terms of the merger
of Merger Sub with and into Shengda Packaging with Shengda Packaging being the surviving entity of the merger.
A copy of the Plan of Merger is attached hereto as Exhibit (d)(2). Under the NRS, no action is required by the board of
directors of Shengda Packaging or the stockholders of Shengda Packaging (other than Merger Sub) for the merger to become effective.
Parent and Merger Sub do not intend, nor are they required under the NRS, to enter into a merger agreement with Shengda Packaging
or to seek the approval of the board of directors of Shengda Packaging for the merger. Holders of the Shares will not be entitled
to vote their Shares with respect to the merger. The common stock of Shengda Packaging constitutes the only class of capital stock
of Shengda Packaging that, in the absence of Chapter 92A.180 of the NRS, would be entitled to vote on the merger.
Merger Consideration
At the effective time of the merger,
each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (other than the Shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub and
the Contributing Stockholders and the Shares held in treasury, collectively, the “Excluded Shares”) will be automatically
cancelled and converted into the right of its holder to receive $7.25 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”).
Shengda Packaging Shares Outstanding;
Ownership by the Filing Persons
As of May 21, 2015, a total number of
7,758,160 Shares were outstanding. As of the date hereof, the Filing Persons were, in the aggregate, the deemed beneficial owners
of 7,041,997 Shares or approximately 90.8% of the total outstanding Shares.
Payment for Shares
Prior to the effective time of the merger,
Parent will designate a bank or trust company to act as the paying agent for the payment of the Merger Consideration. Prior to
or at the effective time of the merger, Parent will deposit, or will cause to be deposited, with the paying agent an amount in
cash sufficient for the paying agent to make payments to the stockholders of Shengda Packaging receiving the Merger Consideration (other
than the holders of the Excluded Shares). As promptly as practical, after the effective time of the merger, the paying agent will
mail to each stockholder of record (other than holders of the Excluded Shares) (a) a letter of transmittal in customary form and
(b) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of any share certificate in exchange for the applicable Merger Consideration.
Those documents should be read carefully. Please do not submit your share certificates before you have received these documents.
See Item 4 “Terms of the Transaction” beginning on page 53 of this Schedule 13E-3.
Post-Closing Put Right
Within 45 days after the merger is completed,
each of Envision Capital Partners, L.P., CSV China Opportunities Fund, L.P., Ray Shi China Small Mid Cap Select Fund, LB Holdings
II, LLC and Newberg Road Partners, L.P. (each, an “Other Contributing Stockholder” and collectively, the “Other
Contributing Stockholders”) will have the right (the “Put Right”) to require Chairman SPV to purchase all but
not less than all of the ordinary shares of Parent owned by such Other Contributing Stockholder (the “Put Securities”)
at a price of $7.25 per share. The Other Contributing Stockholders are granted the Put Rights instead of simply being paid for
their Shares together with the other unaffiliated stockholders of Shengda Packaging at a price of $7.25 per Share because by taking
into account the Shares owned by the Other Contributing Stockholders, all of the Contributing Stockholders will beneficially own
an aggregate of 7,041,997 Shares, or approximately 90.8% of the total outstanding Shares, which will enable them to pursue a “short-form”
merger under Section 92A.180 of the NRS. The Contributing Stockholders believe that a “short-form” merger is the most
cost-effective way for Parent to acquire all of the other Shares of Shengda Packaging not owned directly or indirectly by the Contributing
Stockholders and to provide a source of immediate liquidity to the holders of such Shares. In addition, the Put Rights provide
the Other Contributing Stockholders with liquidity to exit their investments in Shengda Packaging, as well as the possibility to
benefit by participating in the long-term value of Shengda Packaging if any of them decides not to exercise its Put Right.
Source and Amount of Funds
The total amount of funds expected to
be necessary to complete the merger and the related transactions is anticipated to be $11,693,452.50, including (a) payments in
a total amount of $5,192,181.75 as the Merger Consideration to the stockholders of Shengda Packaging other than holders of the
Excluded Shares and (b) payments in a total amount of $6,501,270.75 to the Other Contributing Stockholders to acquire their Put
Securities if all of them decide to exercise their Put Rights. This amount is expected to be funded through the proceeds from the
loan in an amount of $14,000,000.00, pursuant to the Facility Agreement (the “Facility Agreement”), dated as of May
21, 2015, by and between Chairman SPV and Primelink Investment Limited, a Cayman Islands company (“Primelink”), filed
as Exhibit 7.03 to a Schedule 13D as filed by the Contributing Stockholders with the SEC on May 21, 2015. The funds necessary
to complete the merger and the related transactions at the closing of the merger, including for the payment of the Merger Consideration
to the stockholders of Shengda Packaging other than holders of the Excluded Shares, will be paid from accounts outside the People’s
Republic of China, referred to herein as “PRC,” and such payment will not be subject to any restriction, registration,
approval or procedural requirements under applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations. See Item 4 “Terms of the Transaction”
beginning on page 53 of this Schedule 13E-3 and Item 10 “Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration” beginning
on page 58 of this Schedule 13E-3.

Position of the Filing Persons as
to the Fairness of the Merger (Page 25)
Under the rules governing going-private
transactions, each Filing Person is deemed to be an affiliate of Shengda Packaging, and therefore required to express its belief
as to the fairness of the merger to the unaffiliated stockholders of Shengda Packaging (that is, any stockholder of Shengda Packaging
other than the Filing Persons or any other affiliate of Shengda Packaging). Each Filing Person is making the statements included
in this section solely for the purposes of complying with the requirements of Rule 13e-3 and related rules under the Securities
Exchange Act.
As further described below, the Filing
Persons believe that the proposed merger is both procedurally and substantively fair to the unaffiliated stockholders of Shengda
Packaging based on the consideration of the following factors, which are not listed in any relative order of importance:
| · | The current and historical market prices of the Shares on a split-adjusted basis, including the
fact that the Merger Consideration of $7.25 per Share represents a premium of 47.1% over Shengda Packaging’s closing price
of $4.93 per Share on June 9, 2015, the last date on which the common stock of Shengda Packaging
traded prior to the filing of the Schedule 13E-3 on June 10, 2015, and a premium of 59.3% to the volume-weighted average closing
price of the common stock of Shengda Packaging on a split-adjusted basis during the 30 trading days prior to the filing of the
Schedule 13E-3 on June 10, 2015. |
| · | The Merger Consideration is all cash, which provides a specific amount of cash consideration for
the Shares held by, and liquidity to, unaffiliated stockholders and allows the unaffiliated stockholders to avoid post-merger risks
and uncertainties relating to the prospects of Shengda Packaging. |
| · | Parent retained Duff & Phelps, LLC, with its affiliates collectively referred to herein as
“Duff & Phelps,” to deliver a financial analysis of Shengda Packaging to Parent. Duff & Phelps provided that
financial analysis, dated June 5, 2015 (the “Financial Analysis”), to Parent for its sole use and benefit, which indicated,
as of the date of the Financial Analysis and subject to the qualifications, limitations and assumptions set forth therein, illustrative
implied values per share of the common stock of Shengda Packaging ranging from approximately $6.60 to $8.25. Notwithstanding that
the Financial Analysis was delivered by Duff & Phelps to Parent for its sole use and benefit, the other Filing Persons relied
upon the factors considered by and the analyses, determinations and conclusions of Duff & Phelps as described in “Special
Factors - Reports, Opinions, Appraisals and Negotiations” in this Schedule 13E-3 beginning on page 30 and adopted such
factors, analyses, determinations and conclusions as their own. |
| · | None of the Filing Persons has received an offer for their equity interests in Shengda Packaging
from a third party within the past three years. |
| · | The Filing Persons beneficially own an aggregate of approximately 90.8% of the total outstanding
Shares. As a result, the Filing Persons will be able to exert control over approval of any proposed transaction involving a change
in control of Shengda Packaging. Because of the substantial ownership by the Filing Persons, independent third parties interested
in a strategic transaction with Shengda Packaging are unlikely to commence a tender offer or any substantial market purchases without
the Filing Persons’ consent. |
| · | Shengda Packaging stockholders do not currently have, and are not likely to see, substantial liquidity
in their Shengda Packaging common stock. There is no substantial trading market for Shengda Packaging common stock, which trades
sporadically on the NASDAQ Capital Market. Shengda Packaging shares have traded on only 66 days in 2015 through the date of this
filing. Because the Filing Persons beneficially own approximately 90.8% of the total outstanding Shares, there is very limited
public float and it is unlikely that substantial trading or liquidity will develop. The merger provides minority stockholders liquidity
for their full holdings at a guaranteed price. |
| · | Most of Shengda Packaging’s minority stockholders have relatively small holdings. The merger
will allow Shengda Packaging stockholders to liquidate their positions immediately for cash without having to pay brokerage fees
or commissions. |
| · | Based on Shengda Packaging’s disclosure in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2014, Shengda Packaging has no intention to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. |
| · | After the merger, Shengda Packaging will no longer be subject to the costly reporting and other
disclosure requirements of the Exchange Act, including those instituted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or “SOX.” |
See “Special Factors - Fairness
of the Merger - Position of the Filing Persons as to the Fairness of the Merger,” beginning on page 25 of this Schedule 13E-3.
Effect of the Merger (Page 18)
Completion of the merger will have the
following effects:
| · | Merger Sub will be merged with and into Shengda Packaging with Shengda Packaging being the surviving
entity of the merger and wholly-owned by Parent. |
| · | Each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (other than the Excluded
Shares) will be automatically cancelled and converted into the right of its holder to receive the Merger Consideration. |
| · | Only the Filing Persons will have the opportunity to participate in the future earnings and growth,
if any, of Shengda Packaging (as the surviving entity of the merger). Similarly, only the Filing Persons will face the risk of
losses generated by Shengda Packaging’s operations or the decline in value of Shengda Packaging after the merger. |
| · | Following the completion of the merger, the Shares will be delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market
and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act. Thus, Shengda Packaging and its affiliates will no longer be subject to the
burden and expense of reporting and other disclosure requirements of the Securities Exchange Act, including requirements to file
annual and other periodic reports or to provide the type of disclosure contained in this Schedule 13E-3. |
No Dissenter’s Rights for
Holders of Common Stock (Page 56)
Pursuant to Section 92A.390 of the NRS,
you are not entitled to dissenter’s rights or other statutory rights of appraisal under Nevada law in connection with the
merger. See “No Dissenter’s Rights for Holders of Common Stock” beginning on page 56 of this Schedule 13E-3
for additional information.

INTRODUCTION
This Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3
is being filed by the following entities and individuals, collectively referred to as the “Filing Persons”:

The Filing Persons are required to file
this Schedule 13E-3 pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 13e-3 thereunder.
This Schedule 13E-3 is being
filed in connection with the proposed “short-form” merger between Merger Sub and Shengda Packaging pursuant to Section
92A.180 of the NRS, as a result of which the Shares will be delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market and deregistered under the
Securities Exchange Act and Shengda Packaging and its affiliates will no longer be required to file annual reports and other periodic
reports with the SEC. The effective date of the merger is expected to occur 20 days following the date of the mailing of this Schedule 13E-3,
or such later date as may be required to comply with Rule 13e-3 under the Securities Exchange Act and all other applicable laws.
As of May 21, 2015, there were a total
number of 7,758,160 issued and outstanding Shares and approximately 390 stockholders of record.
Immediately prior to the merger, the
Contributing Stockholders will contribute to Parent an aggregate of 7,041,997 Shares, or approximately 90.8% of the total outstanding
Shares, and Parent will contribute such Shares to Merger Sub, pursuant to the Contribution Agreement.
Upon the consummation of the merger,
each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (other than the Excluded Shares) will be automatically
cancelled and converted into the right of its holder to receive the Merger Consideration.
Prior to the effective time of the merger,
Parent will designate a bank or trust company to act as the paying agent for the payment of the Merger Consideration. Prior to
or at the effective time of the merger, Parent will deposit, or will cause to be deposited, with the paying agent an amount in
cash sufficient for the paying agent to make payments to the stockholders of Shengda Packaging (other than holders of the Excluded
Shares). As promptly as practical, after the effective time of the merger, the paying agent will mail to each stockholder of record
(other than holders of the Excluded Shares) (a) a letter of transmittal in customary form and (b) instructions for use in effecting
the surrender of any share certificates in exchange for the applicable Merger Consideration. These documents should be read carefully.
Under the NRS, no action is required
by the board of directors of Shengda Packaging or by the stockholders of Shengda Packaging (other than Merger Sub), for the merger
to become effective. Shengda Packaging will be the surviving corporation in the merger. As a result of the merger, and pursuant
to the terms of the Contribution Agreement, Parent will own all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Shengda Packaging.
There is no issued and outstanding option
or warrant to acquire any capital stock of Shengda Packaging.

his investment in Shengda Packaging as well as its status as a public company, including the possibility of taking Shengda Packaging
private. The Chairman considered that (i) Shengda Packaging has incurred significant costs but has derived only minimal benefits
from being a public company, (ii) the Shares have failed to attract interest from retail investors, institutional investors or
market analysts and as a result an active and liquid market for the Shares has not developed and (iii) the lack of a trading market
for the Shares and the low market capitalization of Shengda Packaging have deprived Shengda Packaging’s stockholders of the
traditional liquidity benefits of being stockholder of a public reporting company.
On October 15, 2012, the Chairman submitted
to the board of directors of Shengda Packaging a non-binding proposal of $1.40 per Share (which price does not reflect the effect
of the reverse stock split of the Shares completed on May 18, 2015) to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Shengda Packaging’s
common stock not owned by him and his family in a going-private transaction. As indicated in the proposal, the Chairman intended
to fund the acquisition with a combination of debt and equity financing. Upon receipt of the proposal, the board of directors of
Shengda Packaging established a special committee of independent directors (the “Special Committee”), which consists
of Mr. Zhihai Mao, Mr. Michael Zhang and Mr. Yaoquan Zhang, to consider the proposal. On the same day, Shengda Packaging
issued a press release regarding its receipt of the proposal letter, the transaction proposed therein and the establishment of
the Special Committee, and furnished such press release as an exhibit to its Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on
October 15, 2012.
After the submission of the non-binding
proposal, the Chairman discussed with representatives of Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP (“Cleary”) regarding
the going-private process and key issues in a potential transaction involving Shengda Packaging. On November 6, 2012, the Chairman
decided to retain Cleary as his U.S. legal advisor in connection with a potential transaction.
On November 13, 2012, the Chairman
delivered a letter to the Special Committee withdrawing the non-binding proposal that he submitted to the board of directors of
Shengda Packaging on October 15, 2012. The letter also noted that the Chairman intends to continue to pursue a possible transaction
to acquire all of the shares of the common stock of Shengda Packaging and had engaged in preliminary discussion with a number
of stockholders of Shengda Packaging and potential debt financing sources, in each case regarding their potential participation
in a going-private transaction of Shengda Packaging.
On December 6, 2012, the board of directors
of Shengda Packaging voted unanimously to dissolve the Special Committee in response to the Chairman’s withdrawal of the
non-binding going-private proposal.
The Chairman had a number of preliminary
discussions on and off with certain other Contributing Stockholders and potential debt financing sources from November 2012 to
January 2013 and from June 2013 to September 2013 to discuss the possibility of effecting a going-private transaction of Shengda
Packaging through a “short-form” merger. These discussions remained at a preliminary level and did not lead to any
transaction at the time.
On June 12, 2014, Shengda Packaging
received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) notifying its failure to maintain a minimum closing bid price
of $1.00 over the then preceding 30 consecutive trading days for its common stock as required by the NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(1)
(the “Bid Price Rule”). The letter also noted that Shengda Packaging has until December 9, 2014 to demonstrate its
compliance by maintaining a minimum closing bid price of at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days.
After receipt of the letter from NASDAQ,
the Chairman began to re-consider the possibility of a going-private transaction of Shengda Packaging and concluded that the costs
of keeping Shengda Packaging a public reporting company exceeded the benefits. In June 2014, the Chairman decided to pursue the
possibility of a “short-form” merger in order to realize the cost savings and efficiencies of being a private company
and began his discussions with certain debt financing sources, including Primelink, but not with any Contributing Stockholder until
March 2015.
On October 23, 2014, Shengda Packaging
received a notification from NASDAQ that Shengda Packaging’s application to list its common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market
has been approved, and that Shengda Packaging’s securities are transferred from the NASDAQ Global Market to the NASDAQ Capital
Market at the opening of trading of the NASDAQ Capital Market on October 27, 2014.
On December 5, 2014, representatives
of Primelink met with the Chairman and discussed with him the possibility of providing debt financing arrangements for the proposed
going-private transaction of Shengda Packaging through a “short-form” merger. Since then until May 21, 2015, the Chairman
and Primelink held multiple meetings and telephonic meetings regarding the debt financing arrangements of the proposed transaction.
On December 11, 2014, Shengda Packaging
received a letter from NASDAQ notifying that while Shengda Packaging had not regained its compliance with the Bid Price Rule, it
was eligible for an additional 180-day grace period, until June 8, 2015, to regain its compliance with the Bid Price Rule.
Beginning in early March 2015, the Chairman
began contacting the other Contributing Stockholders to discuss whether they would be interested in participating in the going-private
transaction of Shengda Packaging through a “short-form” merger.
On March 10, 2015, the Chairman held
a telephonic meeting with the representatives of the Other Contributing Stockholders to discuss the transaction process and to
propose the key terms for the Contribution Agreement.
On March 11, 2015, the Chairman delivered
an initial draft of the Contribution Agreement to the Other Contributing Stockholders.
From March 2015 through April 2015,
the Chairman held multiple telephonic meetings with the representatives of the Other Contributing Stockholders to discuss and negotiate
the draft Contribution Agreement.
On May 14, 2015, the Chairman held a
telephonic meeting with the representatives of the Other Contributing Stockholders to negotiate the remaining outstanding issues
of the draft Contribution Agreement.
On May 15, 2015, Cleary circulated a
revised draft of the Contribution Agreement to the Other Contributing Stockholders.
On May 18, 2015, Parent engaged Duff
& Phelps as its financial advisor. Among the reasons for the selection of Duff & Phelps were its extensive experience in
mergers and acquisitions transactions, including representing buyer consortiums in going-private transactions, its strong reputation,
its significant experience dealing with China-based companies, and its ability to interact in both English and Chinese.
On May 18, 2015, in order to regain
its compliance with the Bid Price Rule, Shengda Packaging effected a reverse stock split of its common stock at an exchange ratio
of 1-for-5. As a result of the reverse stock split, the total number of issued and outstanding Shares decreased from 38,790,811
to 7,758,160, and Shengda Packaging’s authorized Shares simultaneously decreased from 190,000,000 to 38,000,000 Shares. At
the market opening on May 19, 2015, the common stock of Shengda Packaging began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market on a split-adjusted
basis.
On May 21, 2015, Parent, Merger Sub,
the Chairman, Chairman SPV and the other Contributing Stockholders entered into the Contribution Agreement, pursuant to which,
immediately prior to the merger, the Contributing Stockholders will contribute to Parent an aggregate of 7,041,997 Shares, or approximately
90.8% of the total outstanding Shares, and Parent will then contribute such Shares to Merger Sub and cause Merger Sub to merge
with Shengda Packaging in a “short-form” merger, with Shengda Packaging continuing as the surviving corporation after
the merger. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, within 45 days after the merger is completed, each of
the Other Contributing Stockholders will have the Put Right to require Chairman SPV to purchase all but not less than all of such
Other Contributing Stockholder’s Put Securities at a price of $7.25 per share. A copy of the Contribution Agreement is filed
as Exhibit 7.02 to a Schedule 13D as filed by the Contributing Stockholders with the SEC on May 21, 2015.
On the same day, Chairman SPV and Primelink
entered into the Facility Agreement for the debt financing of the proposed transaction. The obligations of Chairman SPV under the
Facility Agreement will be (i) guaranteed pursuant to a personal guarantee from the Chairman, Ms. Xinya Qu and Ms. Congyi
Fang and (ii) secured by charges over 100% of Chairman SPV’s equity interests in Parent. A copy of the Facility Agreement
is filed as Exhibit 7.03 to a Schedule 13D as filed by the Contributing Stockholders with the SEC on May 21, 2015.
On May 21, 2015, the Contributing Stockholders
jointly filed a Schedule 13D with the SEC announcing their intention to cause Merger Sub to effect the merger with Shengda
Packaging in a “short-form” merger, with Shengda Packaging continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Parent after the merger.
Purposes
The purpose of the merger is to effect
a going-private transaction with respect to Shengda Packaging. Immediately prior to the merger, the Contributing Stockholders will
contribute 7,041,997 Shares to Parent, which will in turn contribute all of such Shares to Merger Sub, pursuant to the Contribution
Agreement. Following such contribution, Merger Sub will become the direct holder of approximately 90.8% of the total outstanding
Shares. Parent intends to cause Merger Sub to merge with and into Shengda Packaging, with Shengda Packaging continuing as the surviving
corporation, as a means of acquiring all of the other issued and outstanding Shares not owned directly or indirectly by the Contributing
Stockholders and providing immediate liquidity to the holders of such Shares by payment of the Merger Consideration. Following
the merger, Parent will own 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Shengda Packaging.
Upon completion of the merger, the Filing
Persons will cause Shengda Packaging to request the NASDAQ Capital Market to file a notification on Form 25 with the SEC reporting
that Shengda Packaging is no longer listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market, and to file a Form 15 with the SEC requesting the termination
of Shengda Packaging’s reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act. Upon the effectiveness of that termination,
Shengda Packaging will no longer be required to file periodic reports with the SEC. In contemplating the going-private transaction,
the Filing Persons believe that Shengda Packaging is burdened by certain aspects of public company status, and because an active
trading market has never developed for the Shares, neither Shengda Packaging nor its stockholders have received significant benefits
from its public company status. Specifically, as a public reporting company Shengda Packaging is required to comply with periodic
reporting, internal control evaluation, audit and other requirements. Shengda Packaging is also required to publish business and
financial results that are visible not only to its investors, but also to prospective customers and competitors. At the same time,
Shengda Packaging has not enjoyed the benefits it anticipated from its public company status. Because of the inability to generate
significant investor interest, Shengda Packaging has not been able to secure access to additional capital. In addition, because
of the extremely limited trading volume and the small public float, the stockholders of Shengda Packaging have not been able to
secure the liquidity they anticipated in connection with ownership of a publicly traded company.
By completing the going-private transaction,
the Filing Persons intend to:
| · | Increase the profitability of Shengda Packaging by eliminating the operating burdens and expenses
associated with public company status. |
| · | Provide liquidity to Shengda Packaging’s stockholders by paying a fair value for their Shares. |
Alternatives
The Filing Persons considered the advantages
and disadvantages of certain alternatives to acquiring the minority interests of the unaffiliated stockholders of Shengda Packaging.
In the view of the Filing Persons, the principal advantage of leaving Shengda Packaging as a NASDAQ Capital Market listed company
would be for the potential investment liquidity of owning securities of a public company and for the possibility of using Shengda
Packaging’s securities to raise capital or make acquisitions. However, the Filing Persons do not expect the stockholder liquidity
or access to capital to change significantly in the foreseeable future. The Filing Persons also noted that companies of similar
size and public float to Shengda Packaging do not typically receive the necessary attention from stock analysts and the investment
community to create substantial liquidity. Therefore, the Filing Persons concluded that the advantages of leaving Shengda Packaging
as a public company were outweighed by the disadvantages of doing so, and accordingly that alternative was rejected.
The Filing Persons believe that effecting
the transaction by way of a “short-form” merger under Section 92A.180 of the NRS is also the quickest and most cost-effective
way for Parent to acquire the outstanding minority equity interest in Shengda Packaging, as well as an equitable and fair way to
provide liquidity, in the form of cash merger consideration, to the unaffiliated stockholders of Shengda Packaging for their Shares.
As a consequence, the Filing Persons rejected such transactions as a long-form merger, tender offer or reverse stock split because
it would cause additional costs and delay. The “short-form” merger allows the unaffiliated stockholders of Shengda
Packaging to receive cash for their Shares quickly. Therefore, the Filing Persons identified the “short-form” merger
as the most viable vehicle for maximizing value to its unaffiliated stockholders and believed that there are no alternative means
that would provide Shengda Packaging adequate assurance to allow Shengda Packaging to cease to be a public company in a more cost-effective
way.
Reasons
In determining whether to acquire the
outstanding public minority equity interest in Shengda Packaging and to effect the merger, the Filing Persons considered the following
factors to be the principal benefits of taking Shengda Packaging private:
| · | To decrease costs associated with being a public company. For example, as a privately-held company,
Shengda Packaging (as the surviving entity of the merger) would not be required to file quarterly, annual, or other periodic reports
with the SEC, publish and distribute to its stockholders annual reports and proxy statements, or comply with certain provisions
of the SOX. Estimated cost savings per year include approximately $275,000.00 for expenses associated with audit and SOX compliance,
$60,000.00 for expenses associated with personnel and public company management, $100,000.00 for expenses associated with public
company legal representation, and $71,500.00 for general public company compliance expenses (such as stock transfer agent services,
and printing, mailing and preparation of proxy statements, annual reports and other SEC reports). Certain individuals of the management
of Shengda Packaging spend more than half of their time involved with activities related to active public company management. The
Filing Persons therefore anticipate that going-private
would result in cost savings of approximately $506,500.00 per year for Shengda Packaging. |
| · | To eliminate additional burdens on management associated with public reporting and other tasks
resulting from Shengda Packaging’s public company status, including, for example, the dedication of time and resources to
stockholder inquiries and investor and public relations. |
| · | To provide greater flexibility for management of Shengda Packaging to focus on the business and
the long-term business goals of Shengda Packaging (as opposed to quarterly earnings), without the diversion of the significant
time required to comply with the reporting obligations of a public company. |
| · | To reduce the amount of public information available to competitors of Shengda Packaging’s
businesses that would result from the termination of Shengda Packaging’s obligations under the reporting requirements of
the Securities Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and any other requirements of the SEC. |
| · | To provide increased and immediate liquidity for investors. Average daily trading volume of the
common stock of Shengda Packaging during the three-month period ended June 9, 2015, the last date on which the common stock of
Shengda Packaging traded prior to the filing date of the initial Schedule 13E-3, was only approximately 1,698 Shares; and
the volume of trades was less than 1,000 Shares on approximately 83.5% of trading days in 2015 through June 9, 2015. The Filing
Persons also considered the overall flat and low trading volume of the Shares since 2014. Investors essentially have no public
market in which to efficiently sell their Shares. The merger would result in immediate, enhanced liquidity for the unaffiliated
stockholders of Shengda Packaging. The Filing Persons believed that the market for the Shares is so illiquid that all of unaffiliated
stockholders of Shengda Packaging would not be able to sell their Shares within a short period of time at or above the Merger Consideration.
In addition, the Merger Consideration represents a premium of 47.1% over Shengda Packaging’s closing price of $4.93 per Share
on June 9, 2015, the last trading day prior to the filing of the Schedule 13E-3 on June 10, 2015, and a premium of 59.3% to
the volume-weighted average closing price of the Shares on a split-adjusted basis during the 30 trading days prior to the filing
of the Schedule 13E-3 on June 10, 2015. |
| · | The fact that the merger offers the stockholders of Shengda Packaging the opportunity to sell their
Shares for one price at the same time, without the payment of any brokerage fee or commission, and thereby directly benefits such
stockholders. |
| · | The lack of interest by institutional investors in companies with a limited public float. |
| · | The fact that the Other Contributing Stockholders will also have the liquidity to exit upon exercising
their Put Rights within 45 days after the merger is completed. |
The Filing Persons also weighed a variety
of risks and other potentially negative factors for the unaffiliated stockholders of Shengda Packaging and the Filing Persons concerning
the merger, including the fact that:
| · | Following the consummation of the merger, the unaffiliated stockholders of Shengda Packaging will
cease to participate in any future earnings of or benefit from any increases in the value of Shengda Packaging; only the Filing
Persons that continue to be stockholders of Shengda Packaging after the completion of the merger and the expiration of the exercise
period of the Put Rights would benefit by an increase in the value of Shengda Packaging; |
| · | For U.S. federal income tax purposes generally, the cash payments made to the unaffiliated stockholders
of Shengda Packaging pursuant to the merger will result in a taxable transaction to such stockholders; |
| · | Neither the board of directors nor the stockholders of Shengda Packaging are required under Nevada
law to take any action in connection with the “short-form” merger. Because no corporate action on the part of Shengda
Packaging is required by law to approve the “short-form” merger, the board of directors of Shengda Packaging did not
appoint an independent committee to consider the proposed effect of the merger on the unaffiliated stockholders; |
| · | The unaffiliated stockholders of Shengda Packaging will be required to surrender their Shares involuntarily
in exchange for a cash price determined by the Filing Persons; |
| · | The unaffiliated stockholders of Shengda Packaging will not have the right as a result of the merger
to liquidate their Shares at a time and for a price of their choice; |
| · | The Filing Persons that continue to be stockholders of Shengda Packaging after the completion of
the merger and the expiration of the exercise period of the Put Rights will be the sole beneficiaries of the cost savings that
result from going-private; and |
| · | Shengda Packaging will no longer be subject to the provisions of the SOX or the liability provisions
of the Securities Exchange Act. |
Many of the factors in favor of taking
Shengda Packaging private have been present in Shengda Packaging’s history for some time. Although the Filing Persons could
have effectuated a “short-form” merger at other times prior to the current proposed merger, the Filing Persons only
recently considered a potential going-private transaction in a serious way after beginning to more critically assess and evaluate
the business performance and operations of Shengda Packaging, the ongoing costs of keeping Shengda Packaging as a public company
and the lack of liquidity to the stockholders of Shengda Packaging. In addition to the costs of keeping Shengda Packaging as a
public company, the Filing Persons also considered the significant difficulty that Shengda Packaging would have in raising capital
in the market for working capital needs given the limited liquidity of its Shares and the recent negative market outlook on PRC
companies that have listed in the United States. On May 21, 2015, the Filing Persons concluded their analysis and determined that
the costs of keeping Shengda Packaging as a public company (as discussed above) exceeded the benefits and therefore decided to
pursue the possibility of a “short-form” merger without delay in order to realize the benefit of taking Shengda Packaging
private. On the same day, Parent, Merger Sub, the Chairman, Chairman SPV and the other Contributing Stockholders executed the Contribution
Agreement and the Contributing Stockholders jointly filed a Schedule 13D with the SEC announcing their intention to cause
Merger Sub to effect the merger with Shengda Packaging in a “short-form”
merger, with Shengda Packaging continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent after the merger.

Effect of the Merger on Unaffiliated
Stockholders
Upon completion of the merger, the unaffiliated
stockholders of Shengda Packaging will no longer have an interest in, and will not be stockholders of, Shengda Packaging. They
will not be able to participate in any future earnings and potential growth of Shengda Packaging (as the surviving corporation
of the merger), but will also no longer bear the risk of any decreases in the value of Shengda Packaging. In addition, the unaffiliated
stockholders of Shengda Packaging will not share in the distribution of proceeds resulting from future sales of businesses of Shengda
Packaging, if any. See Item 6 “Purposes of the Transaction and Plans or Proposals - Plans,” beginning on page 57 of
this Schedule 13E-3. All other incidents of stock ownership with respect to such unaffiliated stockholders, such as the rights
to vote on certain corporate decisions, to elect directors and to receive distributions upon the liquidation of Shengda Packaging,
will be extinguished upon completion of the merger. Further, the receipt of the payment for their Shares will be a taxable transaction
for United States federal income tax purposes. See “Special Factor – Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences,”
beginning on page 21 of this Schedule 13E-3.
Upon completion of the merger, the unaffiliated
stockholders of Shengda Packaging will have liquidity, in the form of the Merger Consideration, in place of an ongoing equity interest
in Shengda Packaging.
Effect of the Merger on the Shares
Once the merger is effective, public
trading of the Shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market will cease. There will no longer be price quotations for the common stock of
Shengda Packaging and Shengda Packaging will undertake certain filings to terminate the registration of its common stock under
the Securities Exchange Act. As a result, Shengda Packaging will no longer be required to file annual, quarterly, and other periodic
reports with the SEC under Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act and will no longer be subject to the proxy rules under
Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act. Shengda Packaging will no longer be subject to the provisions of the SOX or the liability
provisions of the Securities Exchange Act. In addition, the Filing Persons will no longer be subject to reporting requirements
regarding their ownership of the Shares under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act or to the requirement under Section 16
of the Securities Exchange Act to report, and disgorge certain profits from, the purchase and sale of the Shares.
Plans after the Merger
After the completion of the merger,
Parent will constitute the sole stockholder of Shengda Packaging (as the surviving entity of the merger), entitling Shengda Packaging
to suspend its reporting obligations under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act by filing a Form 15 with the SEC. As a
result, Shengda Packaging’s common stock will no longer be quoted on the NASDAQ Capital Market, and there will be no public
market for Shengda Packaging’s common stock.
Pursuant to the Contribution
Agreement, within 45 days after the merger is completed, each of the Other Contributing Stockholders will have the Put Right
to require Chairman SPV to purchase all but not less than all of such Other Contributing Stockholder’s Put Securities
at a price of $7.25 per share.
Except as otherwise described in this
Schedule 13E-3, the Filing Persons do not currently have any commitment or agreement and are not currently negotiating for
the sale of any of Shengda Packaging’s businesses. Except as otherwise described in this Schedule 13E-3, the Filing
Persons have not, as of the date of this Schedule 13E-3, approved any specific plans or proposals for:
| · | any extraordinary corporate transaction involving Shengda Packaging after the completion of the
merger; |
| · | any sale or transfer of a material amount of assets currently held by Shengda Packaging after the
completion of the merger; |
| · | any material change in Shengda Packaging’s dividend rate or policy, or indebtedness or capitalization;
or |
| · | any other material change in Shengda Packaging’s corporate structure or business. |
However, the Filing Persons reserve
the right to continue to evaluate the business and operations of Shengda Packaging with a view to maximizing Shengda Packaging’s
potential, and they will take such actions as they deem appropriate under the circumstances and market conditions then existing.
CERTAIN
MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The following discussion is a summary
of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to certain beneficial owners of the Shares. This summary is
based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the “Code,” and the laws, regulations,
rulings, and decisions in effect on the date of this Schedule 13E-3, all of which are subject to change (possibly with retroactive
effect) and to differing interpretations. In addition, this discussion only applies to holders of the Shares that are U.S. persons
(as defined below) that beneficially own the Shares as capital assets, and does not address tax consequences that may be relevant
to holders of the Shares that may be subject to special tax treatment under the Code, such as holders who are brokers, dealers
or traders in securities or foreign currency, traders in securities that elect to apply a mark-to-market method of accounting,
insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, banks, financial institutions, broker-dealers, real estate investment trusts, regulated
investment companies, grantor trusts, or holders who hold the Shares as part of a hedge, straddle, conversion, or other risk reduction
transaction. Finally, the following discussion does not address the tax consequences under U.S. federal estate and gift tax laws,
state, local or non-U.S. tax laws, or the tax consequences of transactions occurring prior to, concurrently with or after the merger
(whether or not such transactions are in connection with the merger).
Neither the Filing Persons nor Shengda
Packaging has requested a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, or the “IRS,” in connection with the merger or
related transactions. Accordingly, the discussion below neither binds the IRS nor precludes it from adopting a contrary position.
Furthermore, no opinion of counsel has been or will be rendered with respect to the tax consequences of the merger or related transactions.
For purposes of this discussion, a ‘‘U.S.
person’’ is any person that is:
| · | a citizen or individual resident of the United States; |
| · | a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation, created or organized in or under the laws
of the United States or any political subdivision thereof; |
| · | an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or |
| · | a trust if either (i) the trust is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United
States and one or more U.S. persons as described in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code have the authority to control all substantial
decisions of the trust or (ii) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated
as a U.S. person. |
If a partnership (or other entity treated
as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds the Shares, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership will
generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A partnership holding the Shares, or a partner
in such partnership should consult their tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger.
The receipt of cash by a stockholder of Shengda Packaging
pursuant to the merger will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In general, a stockholder of Shengda
Packaging will recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes equal to the difference between the amount of cash that
the stockholder receives in the merger and that stockholder’s adjusted tax basis in that stockholder’s Shares. Such
gain or loss will be capital gain or loss if the stockholder holds the Shares as a capital asset, and generally will be long-term
capital gain or loss if, at the effective date of the merger, the stockholder has held the Shares for more than one year.
The cash payments made to a stockholder
of Shengda Packaging pursuant to the merger will be subject to backup withholding unless the stockholder provides the paying agent
with his, her or its tax identification number (social security number or employer identification number) and certifies that such
number is correct, or unless an exemption from backup withholding applies. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment
to a holder of the Shares will be allowed as a credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle
such holder to a refund, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS. Holders should consult their tax advisors
regarding their qualification for exemption from backup withholding and the procedure for obtaining such an exemption.
THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
SET FORTH ABOVE ARE INCLUDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY AND ARE BASED UPON CURRENT LAW. BECAUSE INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES
MAY BE DIFFERENT, EACH BENEFICIAL OWNER OF THE SHARES IS URGED TO CONSULT SUCH BENEFICIAL OWNER’S TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE SPECIFIC
TAX CONSEQUENCES TO EACH SUCH BENEFICIAL OWNER OF THE MERGER, INCLUDING THE APPLICATION OF STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN AND OTHER TAX
LAWS.
MATERIAL
PRC TAX CONSEQUENCES
Under the PRC’s Enterprise Income
Tax or the “EIT Law,” which took effect on January 1, 2008, enterprises established outside of China whose “de
facto management bodies” are located in the PRC are considered “resident enterprises,” and thus will generally
be subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on their global income. The implementation rules for the EIT Law define
the “de facto management body” as an establishment that has substantial management and control over the business, personnel,
accounts and properties of an enterprise. The State Administration of Taxation issued the Notice Regarding the Determination of
Chinese-Controlled Offshore Incorporated Enterprises as PRC Tax Resident Enterprises on the Basis of De Facto Management Bodies
on April 22, 2009, which provides certain specific criteria for determining whether the “de facto management body”
of a Chinese-controlled offshore incorporated enterprise is located in China. Under the EIT Law and its implementation regulations,
the PRC income tax at the rate of 10% is applicable to any gain recognized on receipt of consideration by a “non-resident
enterprise” from transfer of its equity in a PRC resident enterprise, provided that the “non-resident enterprise”
does not have a de facto management body in the PRC and also (a) does not have an establishment or place of business in the PRC
or (b) has an establishment or place of business in the PRC, but the relevant income is not effectively connected with the establishment
or place of business, to the extent such gain is derived from sources within the PRC. Under the Individual Income Tax Law, an individual
who disposes a capital asset in China is subject to PRC individual income tax at the rate of 20%. Relief from these taxes may be
sought under applicable Income Tax Treaties with China. As there has not been a definitive determination of Shengda Packaging’s
status by the PRC tax authorities, Shengda Packaging cannot confirm whether it would be considered a PRC resident enterprise under
the EIT Law or whether the gain recognized on the receipt of consideration for the Shares would otherwise be subject to PRC tax
to holders of such Shares that are not PRC tax residents.
In addition, under the Circular on Strengthening
the Administration of Enterprises Income Tax on Non-resident Enterprises’ Equity Transfer Income (“Circular 698”)
issued by the State Administration of Taxation, which became effective as of January 1, 2008, the Circular Concerning Various Questions
on the Administration of Enterprises Income Tax on Non-resident Enterprises (“Bulletin 24”) issued by the State Administration
of Taxation, which became effective as of April 1, 2011, and the Bulletin on Certain Issues Relating to Indirect Transfer of Assets
by Non-resident Enterprises (“Circular 7”) issued by the State Administration of Taxation to replace certain provisions
under Circular 698 and Bulletin 24, which became effective on February 3, 2015, if any non-resident enterprise transfers equity
of a resident enterprise, the non-resident enterprise may be subject to a 10% PRC income tax on the gain from such equity transfer,
unless the amount of the equity interest to be transferred and the transfer price are determined pursuant to standard trading rules
of a public security market and not by the purchaser and the seller by mutual agreement prior to such transactions. According to
Circular 7, where a non-resident enterprise indirectly holds and transfers equity of a PRC resident enterprise held through an
offshore holding company, a list of factors set out by Circular 7 should be taken into consideration to assess whether the transfer
arrangement would be deemed as having a reasonable commercial purpose. Where a non-resident enterprise indirectly transfers equity
interests in a PRC resident enterprise through the implementation of a scheme without a reasonable commercial purpose and resulting
in the avoidance of the enterprise income tax liability, the competent taxation authorities
will have the power to re-characterize the transaction as a direct transfer of PRC resident enterprises’ equity and impose
a 10% income tax on the gain from such offshore share transfer.
There is uncertainty as to the application
of Circular 7. While it appears that Circular 7 was not intended to apply to individual transferors, there is very little guidance
and practical experience regarding its application to individual transferors. Circular 7 may be determined by the tax authorities
to be applicable to the merger where non-PRC resident corporate stockholders were involved, if the merger is determined by the
PRC tax authorities as lack of a reasonable commercial purpose. As a result, if the PRC tax authorities were to invoke Circular
7 and impose tax on the receipt of consideration for the Shares, then any gain recognized on the receipt of consideration for such
Shares pursuant to the merger by Shengda Packaging’s stockholders who are not PRC residents could be treated as PRC-source
income that would be subject to PRC enterprise income tax at a rate of 10%, unless otherwise specified by the applicable tax conventions
and treaties.
YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR
FOR A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER TO YOU, INCLUDING ANY PRC TAX CONSEQUENCES.
FAIRNESS
OF THE MERGER
Position of the Filing Persons as to the Fairness of
the Merger
Under the SEC rules, the Filing Persons
are deemed to be engaged in a going-private transaction, which, if consummated, will result in the suspension of the SEC reporting
obligations of Shengda Packaging and its affiliates. Rule 13e-3 of the Securities Exchange Act requires the Filing Persons to provide
certain information regarding their position as to the substantive and procedural fairness of the proposed merger to the unaffiliated
stockholders. The Filing Persons are making the statements included in this section solely for the purpose of complying with the
requirements of Rule 13e-3 and related rules under the Securities Exchange Act.
As used in this Schedule 13E-3,
the term “unaffiliated stockholders of Shengda Packaging” means any stockholder of Shengda Packaging other than the
Filing Persons or any other affiliate of Shengda Packaging. To the knowledge of the Filing Persons, other than the Filing Persons,
no director or executive officer of Shengda Packaging is a holder of the Shares. To the extent there are any directors or executive
officers of Shengda Packaging, other than the Filing Persons, who hold the Shares, such persons will participate in the merger
in the same manner and to the same extent as the unaffiliated stockholders of Shengda Packaging.
Factors Considered In Determining Fairness
Based on their knowledge and analysis
of available information regarding Shengda Packaging, the Filing Persons believe the merger is substantively fair to the unaffiliated
stockholders of Shengda Packaging. In particular, the Filing Persons believe that the proposed merger is substantively fair to
the unaffiliated stockholders of Shengda Packaging based on the consideration of the following factors, which are not listed in
any relative order of importance:
| · | Current and Historical Market Prices of the Share. The Merger Consideration, at $7.25 per
Share, represents a premium of 47.1% over Shengda Packaging’s closing price of $4.93 per Share on June 9, 2015, the last
trading day prior to the filing of the Schedule 13E-3 on June 10, 2015, and a premium of 59.3% to the volume-weighted average
closing price of the Shares on a split-adjusted basis during the 30 trading days prior to the filing of the Schedule 13E-3
on June 10, 2015. The Merger Consideration is all cash, which provides a specific amount of cash consideration for the Shares held
by, and liquidity to, unaffiliated stockholders and allows the unaffiliated stockholders not to be exposed to risks and uncertainties
relating to the prospects of Shengda Packaging. |
| · | Control Position of the Filing Persons. The Filing Persons’ collective beneficial
ownership of approximately 90.8% of the total outstanding Shares results in an extremely small public float that limits the amount
of trading in the Shares. In addition, since the Filing Persons will be able to exert control over approval of any proposed transaction
involving a change in control of Shengda Packaging, independent third parties interested in a strategic transaction with Shengda
Packaging are unlikely to commence a tender offer or any substantial market purchases without the Filing Persons’ consent,
and thus the control position of the Filing Persons limits the possibility of an alternative transaction that would provide a superior
proposal to the stockholders of Shengda Packaging. |
| · | No Offers. The Filing Persons considered the absence of any third party buyer for Shengda
Packaging during the past three years to support the fairness of the merger to the unaffiliated stockholders of Shengda Packaging
because the absence of a third party buyer demonstrated that the proposed merger with Merger Sub was the only likely source of
prompt liquidity for the Shares that was simultaneously available to all of the unaffiliated stockholders of Shengda Packaging.
In support of this factor, the Filing Persons considered the fact that no offer has been made in the last three years for: (i)
the merger or consolidation of Shengda Packaging with or into another company, or vice versa; (ii) the sale or other transfer of
all or any substantial part of the assets of Shengda Packaging; or (iii) a purchase of Shengda Packaging’s securities that
would enable the holder to exercise control of Shengda Packaging. The Filings Persons believe that “shopping” Shengda
Packaging would not only entail substantial time delays and detract from the amount of time and energy by management of Shengda
Packaging focused on Shengda Packaging’s business, but would also disrupt and discourage Shengda Packaging’s employees
and create uncertainty among Shengda Packaging’s end customers without any benefit to the unaffiliated stockholders. The
fact that the Filing Persons did not seek a buyer foreclosed the opportunity to consider an alternative transaction with a third
party purchaser of Shengda Packaging or otherwise provide liquidity in the form of a third party offer to the unaffiliated stockholders
of Shengda Packaging. Accordingly, it is unlikely that finding a third party buyer for Shengda Packaging was a realistic option
for the unaffiliated stockholders of Shengda Packaging. |
| · | Elimination of Future Financial Performance Risks of Shengda Packaging. The merger would
shift the risk of the future financial performance of Shengda Packaging from the unaffiliated stockholders, who do not have the
power to control decisions made regarding Shengda Packaging’s business, entirely to the Filing Persons who have the power
to control Shengda Packaging’s business. |
| · | No Dividends. Based on Shengda Packaging’s disclosure in its annual report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, it has no intention to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, it
is unlikely that the stockholders of Shengda Packaging will have an opportunity to make profits from their investments in Shengda
Packaging without liquidating their Shares. |
| · | No Reporting Obligations. After the merger, Shengda Packaging will no longer be subject
to the costly reporting and other disclosure requirements of the Securities Exchange Act, including those instituted under the
SOX. |
| · | Financial Analysis of Financial Advisor. Parent received the Financial Analysis from Duff
& Phelps on June 5, 2015 for its sole use and benefit, which indicated, as of the date of the Financial Analysis and subject
to the qualifications, limitations and assumptions set forth therein, illustrative implied values per share of the common stock
of Shengda Packaging ranging from approximately $6.60 to $8.25. Notwithstanding that the Financial Analysis was delivered by Duff
& Phelps to Parent for its sole use and benefit, the other Filing Persons relied upon the factors considered by and the analyses,
determinations and conclusions of Duff & Phelps as described in “Special Factors - Reports, Opinions, Appraisals and
Negotiations” in this Schedule 13E-3 beginning on page 30 and adopted such factors, analyses, determinations and
conclusions as their own. A copy of the Financial Analysis is attached hereto as Exhibit (c)(1). |
| · | No Liquidity or Trading Market. Shengda Packaging stockholders do not currently have, and
are not likely to see, substantial liquidity in their Shares. There is no substantial trading market for the common stock of Shengda
Packaging, which trades sporadically on the NASDAQ Capital Market. Because the Contributing Stockholders beneficially own approximately
90.8% of the total outstanding Shares, there is a very limited public float and it is unlikely that substantial trading or liquidity
will develop. The merger provides minority stockholders liquidity for their full holdings at a guaranteed price. |
| · | No Brokerage Fee or Commission. The merger will enable the unaffiliated stockholders of
Shengda Packaging to immediately receive cash for their Shares, without the payment of any brokerage fee or commission typically
associated with market sales. |
| · | Merger not Conditioned on Financing. The merger is not conditioned on any financing being
obtained by Parent or Merger Sub, thus increasing the likelihood that the merger will be completed and the Merger Consideration
will be paid to the unaffiliated stockholders of Shengda Packaging. |
The Filing Persons
also considered the receipt by Parent of the Financial Analysis from Duff & Phelps as a helpful factor to support that the
proposed merger is procedurally fair to the unaffiliated stockholders of Shengda Packaging.
The Filing Persons did not consider
Shengda Packaging’s net book value, which is an accounting concept based on historical costs, as a factor because it believed
that net book value is not a material indicator of Shengda Packaging’s value as a going concern but rather is indicative
of historical costs.
In their consideration of the fairness
of the proposed merger, the Filing Persons did not undertake an appraisal of the assets of Shengda Packaging to determine Shengda
Packaging’s liquidation value for Shengda Packaging’s unaffiliated stockholders due to the impracticability of determining
a liquidation value given the significant execution risk involved in any breakup. In addition, the Filing Persons did not consider
Shengda Packaging’s liquidation value to be a relevant valuation method because they consider Shengda Packaging to be a viable
going concern where value is derived from cash flows generated from its continuing operations, and because Shengda Packaging will
continue to operate its business following the merger.
The Filing Persons did not establish,
and did not consider, a pre-merger going concern value for the Shares to determine the fairness of the Merger Consideration to
Shengda Packaging’s unaffiliated stockholders. The Filing Persons determined the Merger Consideration based on the price
it was willing to pay to acquire Shengda Packaging, the debt financing it was able to obtain to complete the transaction and its
determination that the Merger Consideration is fair to Shengda Packaging’s unaffiliated stockholders based on the factors
disclosed above. However, to the extent the pre-merger going concern value was reflected in the pre-announcement price of the Shares,
the Merger Consideration represented a premium to the going concern value of Shengda Packaging.
The Filing Persons did not specifically
consider the purchase prices paid by that certain Filing Person in the transactions described under “Item 2. Subject Company
Information” beginning on page 47 as such purchase prices only reflected the then prevailing trading prices of the Shares
at or around the time of such transactions. However, the Filing Persons note that the Merger Consideration to be received by Shengda
Packaging’s unaffiliated stockholders generally represents a premium over such prices.
The Filing Persons have considered requesting
that independent directors of Shengda Packaging form a special committee for the purpose of determining the fairness of the “short-form”
merger but decided not to pursue this option. In reaching such a conclusion, the Filing Persons have considered the statutory right
of a holder of 90% or more of the outstanding stock of a corporation under Chapter 92A.180 of the NRS. Chapter 92A.180 provides
that a stockholder of 90% or more of the outstanding shares of a corporation has an affirmative right to eliminate minority stockholders’
participation in the controlled corporation without any action by the controlled corporation or its other stockholders, and without
the requirement that the parent corporation appoint a special committee to determine the fairness of the merger. In addition, the
Filing Persons believed that the cost of hiring counsel and advisors, and the diversion of management resources to assist the special
committee, would be a drain on the resources of Shengda Packaging.
The foregoing discussion of the information
and factors considered and given weight by the Filing Persons in connection with its evaluation of the substantive and procedural
fairness of the merger to Shengda Packaging’s unaffiliated stockholders is not intended to be exhaustive, but include all
material factors considered. The Filing Persons found it impracticable to assign, and did not assign, relative weights to the foregoing
factors considered in reaching its conclusions as to the substantive and procedural fairness of the merger to Shengda Packaging’s
unaffiliated stockholders. Rather, the Filing Persons made the fairness determinations after considering all of the foregoing factors
as a whole.
In addition to the foregoing factors
and analyses that support the Filing Persons’ belief that the merger is procedurally and substantively fair to the unaffiliated
stockholders of Shengda Packaging, the Filing Persons, acting individually, have also weighed the following negative factors:
| · | No Future Participation in the Prospects of Shengda Packaging. Following the consummation
of the merger, the unaffiliated stockholders of Shengda Packaging will cease to participate in any future earnings or growth, if
any, of Shengda Packaging (as the surviving entity of the merger), or benefit from an increase, if any, in the value of their holdings
in Shengda Packaging. |
| · | Actual or Potential Conflicts of Interest. The Filing Persons may be deemed to own
approximately 90.8% of the total outstanding common stock of Shengda Packaging and following the merger, will own 100% of
Shengda Packaging (as the surviving entity). Accordingly, and as disclosed herein, the interests of the Filing Persons in
determining the Merger Consideration are adverse to the interests of the unaffiliated stockholders of Shengda Packaging. |
| · | No Opportunity for Shengda Packaging’s Board of Directors or the Unaffiliated Stockholders
to Vote on the Merger. Because the merger is being effected pursuant to a “short-form” merger under Chapter 92A.180
of the NRS, it does not require approval by Shengda Packaging’s board of directors or by the unaffiliated stockholders of
Shengda Packaging. Neither Shengda Packaging’s board of directors nor the unaffiliated stockholders of Shengda Packaging
will have the opportunity to vote on the merger. |
| · | No Special Committee Representing the Interests of Unaffiliated Stockholders. There is no
special committee or other representative to act on behalf of the unaffiliated stockholders of Shengda Packaging because no approval
of the unaffiliated stockholders of Shengda Packaging is required for the merger. |
| · | No Approval of Independent Directors. There are currently three independent directors on
the board of directors of Shengda Packaging: Ms. Angel Yanki Wong, Mr. Zhen Yuan and Mr. Yaoquan Zhang. However,
the merger does not require approval by the board of directors of Shengda Packaging pursuant to the NRS. Therefore, there is no
approval of the merger by independent directors. |
After weighing these negative factors
and giving them due consideration, the Filing Persons (each acting individually) have concluded that none of these factors, alone
or in the aggregate, is significant enough to outweigh the factors and analyses that the Filing Persons have considered to support
their belief that the merger is substantively and procedurally fair to the unaffiliated stockholders of Shengda Packaging.
Specifically with respect to procedural
fairness, the Filing Persons did not consider it necessary to explicitly require adoption of the merger by at least a majority
of the unaffiliated stockholders of Shengda Packaging nor did they consider it necessary to establish a special committee or otherwise
retain an unaffiliated representative to act solely on behalf of the unaffiliated stockholders of Shengda Packaging for purposes
of negotiating the terms of the merger, because both procedural safeguards would delay and increase the costs of the merger to
the detriment of Shengda Packaging and the unaffiliated stockholders of Shengda Packaging.
In view of the number and wide variety
of factors considered in connection with making a determination as to the fairness of the merger to the unaffiliated stockholders
of Shengda Packaging, and the complexity of these matters, the Filing Persons did not find it practicable to, nor did they attempt
to, quantify, rank, or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors they considered. Moreover, the Filing Persons
have not undertaken to make any specific determination or assign any particular weight to any single factor, but have conducted
an overall analysis of the factors described above.
REPORTS,
OPINIONS, APPRAISALS, AND NEGOTIATIONS
Preparer and Summary of the Report, Opinion or Appraisal
Duff & Phelps has been engaged by
Parent to serve as independent financial advisor to provide the Financial Analysis in connection with the merger. Duff & Phelps
is an internationally recognized financial services firm that, among other things, is regularly engaged in the investment banking
business, including the valuation of businesses and securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, underwritings and private
placements of securities, and other investment banking services.
Duff & Phelps rendered the Financial Analysis,
dated June 5, 2015, to Parent that, as of such date and based upon and subject to the factors, assumptions, and limitations set
forth in the Financial Analysis, the fair market value of each Share was between $6.60 and $8.25 as of the date of the Financial
Analysis.
The full text of the Financial Analysis, which
sets forth the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken,
is attached hereto as Exhibit (c)(1) and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. The stockholders of Shengda Packaging
are urged to read the Financial Analysis in its entirety. The Financial Analysis prepared by Duff & Phelps is addressed to
Parent (in its capacity as such), and is directed only to the valuation of the Shares as of the date of the Financial Analysis
and does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholders of Shengda Packaging as to how such stockholder should act with respect
to the merger or any other matter.
In performing its financial analysis and rendering
the Financial Analysis with respect to the merger, Duff & Phelps made such reviews, analyses and inquiries as it deemed necessary
and appropriate under the circumstances. Duff & Phelps also took into account its assessment of general economic, market and
financial conditions, as well as its experience in securities and business valuation in general, and with respect to similar transactions
in particular. The procedures, investigations and financial analysis of Duff & Phelps with respect to the preparation of the
Financial Analysis included, but were not limited to, the items summarized below:
| · | reviewed Shengda Packaging’s annual reports on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the years
ended December 31, 2013 and 2014; |
| · | reviewed Shengda Packaging’s unaudited financial statements for the three months ended March
31, 2015 and the three months ended March 31, 2014; |
| · | reviewed certain financial projections prepared and provided to Parent and Duff & Phelps by
management of Shengda Packaging with respect to financial years ending December 31, 2015 through 2024 (the “Management Projections”); |
| · | reviewed Shengda Packaging’s management presentation relating to the past and current business
operations, financial conditions and probable future outlook of Shengda Packaging, provided to Duff & Phelps by the management
of Shengda Packaging; |
| · | reviewed a letter dated June 3, 2015 from the chief executive officer of Shengda Packaging which
made certain representations as to the Management Projections and the underlying assumptions of Shengda Packaging. Such representations
and assumptions relate to the quality and completeness of the information provided by the management of Shengda Packaging to Duff
& Phelps for the purpose of its analysis. In particular, the chief executive officer of Shengda Packaging represented that
the Management Projections were Shengda Packaging’s most current financial projections available and were considered by the
management of Shengda Packaging as its best estimation of Shengda Packaging’s future financial performance and financial
results, subject to the uncertainty and approximation inherent in any projections. The chief executive officer of Shengda Packaging
also represented that the assumptions supporting the financial projections were both reasonable and achievable as of June 3, 2015
and had been reviewed and approved by the management of Shengda Packaging; |
| · | reviewed documents related to the merger, including the Contribution Agreement; |
| · | discussed the information referred to above and the business, operations and financial condition
and prospects of Shengda Packaging as well as the background and other elements of the merger with the management of Shengda Packaging; |
| · | reviewed the historical trading price and trading volume of the Shares and the publicly traded
securities of certain other companies that Duff & Phelps deemed relevant; |
| · | performed certain valuation and comparative analysis using generally accepted valuation and analytical
techniques, including a discounted cash flow analysis, an analysis of selected public companies that Duff & Phelps deemed relevant,
an analysis of selected transactions that Duff & Phelps deemed relevant; and |
| · | conducted such other analysis and inquiries and considered such other information and factors as
Duff & Phelps deemed appropriate. |
In performing its financial analysis and rendering
the Financial Analysis with respect to the merger, Duff & Phelps, with Parent’s consent and without independent verification:
| · | relied upon the accuracy, completeness, and fair presentation of all information, data, advice,
opinions and representations obtained from public sources or provided to it from private sources, including Shengda Packaging’s
management, and did not independently verify such information; |
| · | relied upon the fact that Parent has been advised by counsel as to all legal matters with respect
to the merger, including whether all procedures required by law to be taken in connection with the merger have been duly, validly
and timely taken; |
| · | assumed that any estimates, evaluations, forecasts and projections furnished to Duff & Phelps
were reasonably prepared and based upon the best currently available information and good faith judgment of the person furnishing
the same; |
| · | assumed that information supplied and representations made by Shengda Packaging’s management
are substantially accurate regarding Shengda Packaging and the merger; |
| · | assumed that the final versions of all documents reviewed by Duff & Phelps in draft form conform
in all material respects to the drafts reviewed; and |
| · | assumed that there has been no material change in the assets, financial condition, business, or
prospects of Shengda Packaging since the date of the most recent financial statements and other information made available to Duff
& Phelps. |
To the extent that any of the foregoing assumptions
or any of the facts on which the Financial Analysis is based prove to be untrue in any material respect, the Financial Analysis
cannot and should not be relied upon by Parent. Furthermore, in connection with the preparation of the Financial Analysis, Duff
& Phelps has made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, market and economic conditions
and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of any party involved in the merger.
Duff & Phelps has prepared the Financial
Analysis effective as of June 5, 2015. The Financial Analysis is necessarily based upon market, economic, financial and other conditions
as they exist and can be evaluated as of the date thereof, and Duff & Phelps disclaims any undertaking or obligation to advise
any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting the Financial Analysis which may come or be brought to the attention of
Duff & Phelps after the date thereof.
Duff & Phelps did not evaluate Shengda
Packaging’s solvency or conduct an independent appraisal or physical inspection of any specific assets or liabilities (contingent
or otherwise).
The Financial Analysis should not be construed
as a fairness opinion, valuation opinion, credit rating, solvency opinion, an analysis of Shengda Packaging’s credit worthiness,
as tax advice, or as accounting advice. Duff & Phelps has not made, and assumes no responsibility to make, any representation,
warranty, assurance, undertaking (express or implied); or render any opinion, as to: (a) any legal matter; or (b) the adequacy,
accuracy, completeness or reasonableness of the Financial Analysis. Duff & Phelps expressly disclaims all and any such responsibility
or liability.
In providing the Financial Analysis, Duff &
Phelps is not expressing any opinion with respect to the amount or nature of any compensation (if there is any) to any of Shengda
Packaging’s officers, directors, or employees, or any class of such persons, relative to the Merger Consideration to be received
by the stockholders of Shengda Packaging in connection with the merger, or with respect to the fairness of any such compensation.
In addition, the Financial Analysis does not address the fairness of any consideration payable in connection with the merger to
the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of Shengda Packaging (if applicable).
The Financial Analysis is furnished solely
for the use and benefit of Parent in connection with its consideration of the merger and is not intended to, and does not, confer
any rights or remedies upon any other person, and is not intended to be used, and may not be used, by any other person or for any
other purpose, without Duff & Phelps’ express consent.
The Financial Analysis (a) does not address
the merits of the underlying business decision to enter into the merger versus any alternative strategy or transaction; (b) does
not address any transaction related to the merger; (c) is not a recommendation as to how Parent or any stockholder of Shengda Packaging
should act with respect to any matters relating to the merger, or whether to proceed with the merger or any related transaction,
and (d) does not indicate that the Merger Consideration to be received by stockholders of Shengda Packaging is the best possibly
attainable under any circumstances. The decision as to whether to proceed with the merger or any related transaction may depend
on an assessment of factors unrelated to the Financial Analysis.
Set forth below is
a summary of the material analysis performed by Duff & Phelps in connection with the delivery of the Financial Analysis to
Parent. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Financial Analysis, a copy of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit (c)(1). While this summary describes the analysis and factors that Duff & Phelps deemed material in its presentation
to Parent, it is not a comprehensive description of all analysis performed and factors considered by Duff & Phelps. The preparation
of a financial analysis is a complex process that involves various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods
of financial analysis and the application of these methods to the particular circumstances. Accordingly, Duff & Phelps believes
that its analysis must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analysis and of the factors without considering
all analysis and factors could create a misleading or incomplete view of the evaluation process underlying financial analysis.
The conclusion reached by Duff & Phelps was based on all analysis and factors taken as a whole, and also on the application
of the experience and judgment of Duff & Phelps. The fact that any specific analysis has been referred to in the summary below
is not meant to indicate that this analysis was given greater weight than any other analysis. In addition, the ranges of valuations
resulting from any particular analysis described below should not be taken to be the view of Duff & Phelps as the actual value
of Shengda Packaging.
The Financial Analysis summarized below includes
information presented in tabular format. In order for the Financial Analysis to be fully understood, the tables must be read together
with the text of each summary. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the Financial Analysis. Considering
the data below without considering the full narrative description of the Financial Analysis, including the methodologies and assumptions
underlying the analysis, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the Financial Analysis.
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
Duff & Phelps performed a discounted cash
flow analysis of the estimated future unlevered free cash flows of Shengda Packaging for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2015
through December 31, 2024, with “free cash flow” defined as cash that is available either to reinvest or to distribute
to security holders. The discounted cash flow analysis was used to determine the net present value of estimated future free cash
flows utilizing a weighted average cost of capital as the applicable discount rate. For the purposes of its discounted cash flow
analysis, Duff & Phelps utilized and relied upon the Management Projections, which are described in this Schedule 13E- 3 in
the section entitled “Certain Financial Projections” beginning on page 43. The costs associated with Shengda Packaging
being a publicly listed company were excluded from the Management Projections because such costs would likely be eliminated as
a result of the merger. Duff & Phelps calculated the estimated free cash flows by adding back the depreciation and amortization
and deducting capital expenditures and increase/decrease in working capital from net operating profit after tax. Net operating
profit after tax is calculated by deducting pro forma taxes from earnings before interest and taxes. All these items mentioned
above are based on the Management Projections.
Duff & Phelps estimated the net present
value of all cash flows of Shengda Packaging after fiscal year 2024 (the “terminal value”) using a perpetuity growth
formula assuming a 3.0% terminal growth rate, which took into consideration an estimate of the expected long-term growth rate of
the Chinese economy and Shengda Packaging’s business. Duff & Phelps used discount rates ranging from 15.5% to 18.5%,
reflecting Duff & Phelps’s estimate of Shengda Packaging’s weighted average cost of capital, to discount the projected
free cash flows and terminal value. Duff & Phelps estimated Shengda Packaging’s weighted average cost of capital by estimating
the weighted average of Shengda Packaging’s cost of equity (derived using the capital asset pricing model) and Shengda Packaging’s
after-tax cost of debt. Duff & Phelps believes that this range of discount rates is consistent with the rate of return that
security holders could expect to realize on alternative investment opportunities with similar risk profiles.
Based on these assumptions, the discounted
cash flow analysis conducted by Duff & Phelps resulted in an estimated enterprise value for Shengda Packaging of $56.2 million
to $71.2 million and a range of common equity value of Shengda Packaging to be $52.1 million to $67.1 million by:
| · | subtracting net working capital deficit of $5.8 million as of March 31, 2015; |
| · | subtracting short-term and current portion of long-term borrowing, net of restricted cash pledged
for loans, of $3.0 million as of March 31, 2015; |
| · | subtracting non-controlling interest of $3.3 million as of March 31, 2015; and |
| · | adding cash of $8.0 million as of March 31, 2015. |
Based on the foregoing analysis, Duff &
Phelps estimated the value of each Share to range from $6.72 to $8.65 as of the date of the Financial Analysis.
Selected Public Companies and Merger and
Acquisition Mergers Analysis
Duff & Phelps analyzed selected public
companies and selected merger and acquisition transactions for purposes of estimating valuation multiples with which to calculate
a range of implied enterprise values of Shengda Packaging.
This collective analysis was based on publicly available information and is described in more detail in the sections that follow.
Rather than applying the average or median
multiple from the public company set, Duff & Phelps selected multiples that reflect Shengda Packaging’s size, growth
outlook, capital requirements, profit margins, revenue mix, and other characteristics relative to the group.
None of the companies or targets in the selected
transactions utilized for comparative purposes in the following analysis are directly comparable to Shengda Packaging. Duff &
Phelps does not have access to non-public information of any of these companies. Accordingly, a complete valuation analysis cannot
rely solely upon a quantitative review of such companies, and involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences
in financial and operating characteristics of such companies, as well as other factors that could affect their value relative to
that of Shengda Packaging. Therefore, the Selected Public Companies / M&A Transactions Analysis is necessarily subject to limitations.
Selected Public Companies Analysis.
Duff & Phelps compared certain financial information of Shengda Packaging to corresponding data and ratios from publicly traded
companies in the paper and paper packaging industry that Duff & Phelps deemed relevant to its analysis. For purposes of its
analysis, Duff & Phelps used certain publicly available historical financial data and consensus equity analyst estimates for
the selected publicly traded companies. The nineteen companies included in the selected public companies analysis in the paper
and paper packaging industry were:
Foreign-Listed China Paper and Packaging Companies:
| · | Nine Dragons Paper (Holdings) Ltd. |
| · | Lee & Man Paper Manufacturing Limited |
| · | Long Chen Paper Co., Ltd. |
| · | China Sunshine Paper Holdings Company Limited |
| · | Greatview Aseptic Packaging Company Limited |

|
Duff & Phelps selected these companies
for its analysis based on their relative similarity, primarily in terms of business model and primary products, to that of Shengda
Packaging.
The tables below summarize certain observed
trading multiples and historical and projected financial performance, on an aggregate basis, of the selected public companies.
The estimates for 2015 and 2016 in the tables below with respect to the selected public companies were derived based on information
for the 12-month periods ending closest to Shengda Packaging’s fiscal year ends for which information was available. Data
related to Shengda Packaging’s earnings before interests, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) were
adjusted for purposes of this analysis to eliminate public company costs and non-recurring income (expenses).

Selected M&A Mergers Analysis. Duff
& Phelps selected eight precedent transactions within China’s paper packaging and product and twenty-six precedent transactions
within the global paper packaging and product that it determined to be relevant to its analysis. Duff & Phelps computed the
revenue and EBITDA of the last twelve months, referred to herein as “LTM,” for each of the target companies (where
publicly disclosed). Duff & Phelps then calculated the implied enterprise value to revenue and enterprise value to EBITDA multiples
for each transaction. The selected China and international paper packaging and product transactions indicated enterprise value
to LTM EBITDA multiples ranging from 5.8x to 31.7x with a median of 7.6x, and enterprise value to LTM revenue multiples ranging
from 0.21x to 2.55x with a median of 0.95x.
Shengda Packaging is not directly comparable
to the target companies in the selected merger and acquisition transactions analysis given certain characteristics of the transactions
and the target companies, including direct industry comparability and lack of recent relevant transactions. Therefore, although
reviewed, Duff & Phelps did not select valuation multiples for Shengda Packaging based on the selected merger and acquisition
transactions analysis.
The tables below summarize the relevant information
reviewed by Duff & Phelps for its analysis of the selected China and international paper packaging and product transactions.

Summary of Selected Public Companies / M&A
Transactions Analyses
In order to estimate a range of enterprise
values for Shengda Packaging, Duff & Phelps applied valuation multiples to Shengda Packaging’s LTM and projected earnings
before interests and taxes (“EBIT”) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2016. The LTM and
projected EBIT were adjusted to exclude public company costs and non-recurring income (expenses). The valuation multiples selected
by Duff & Phelps were as follows: LTM EBIT multiple ranged from 10.0x to 12.0x, projected 2015 EBIT multiple ranged from 9.0x
to 11.0x, and projected 2016 EBIT multiple ranged from 6.0x to 7.0x. Valuation multiples were selected taking into consideration
historical and projected financial performance metrics of Shengda Packaging relative to such metrics of the selected public companies.
Duff & Phelps selected the LTM and projected 2015 and 2016 EBIT multiples by taking into consideration of Shengda Packaging’s
size, growth outlook, capital requirements, profit margins, revenue mix, and other characteristics relative to the selected public
companies. Duff & Phelps noted that while it reviewed the selected M&A transactions, it did not select valuation multiples
for Shengda Packaging based on the Selected M&A Transactions Analysis for the reasons described above. As a result of these
selected valuation multiples described above, the selected public companies analysis indicated an estimated enterprise value for
Shengda Packaging of $54.3 million to $64.9 million and a range of implied values of each Share of $6.47 to $7.84 as of the date
of the Financial Analysis.
Summary of Analyses
The range of estimated enterprise values for
Shengda Packaging that Duff & Phelps derived from its discounted cash flow analysis was $56.2 million to $71.2 million, and
the range of estimated enterprise values that Duff & Phelps derived from its selected public companies / M&A transactions
analyses was $54.3 million to $64.9 million. Duff & Phelps concluded that Shengda Packaging’s enterprise value was within
a range of $55.3 million to $68.1 million based on the analyses described above.
Based on the concluded enterprise value, Duff
& Phelps estimated the range of common equity value of Shengda Packaging to be $51.2 million to $64.0 million by:
| · | subtracting net working capital deficit of $5.8 million as of March 31, 2015; |
| · | subtracting short-term and current portion of long-term borrowing, net of restricted cash pledged
for loans, of $3.0 million as of March 31, 2015; |
| · | subtracting non-controlling interest of $3.3 million as of March 31, 2015; and |
| · | adding cash of $8.0 million as of March 31, 2015. |
Based on the foregoing analysis, Duff &
Phelps estimated the value of each Share to range from $6.60 to $8.25. Duff & Phelps noted that the Merger Consideration was
within the range of the per Share value indicated by the Financial Analysis.
The opinion of Duff & Phelps was only one
of the many factors considered by Parent in its evaluation of the transaction and should not be viewed as determinative of the
views of Parent.
Fees and Expenses
As compensation for the services of Duff &
Phelps in connection with the rendering of the Financial Analysis to Parent, Parent agreed to pay Duff & Phelps a nonrefundable
retainer of $75,000.00 and a fee of $50,000.00 payable upon Duff & Phelps delivering of the Financial Analysis to Parent. No
portion of the fees of Duff & Phelps is refundable or contingent upon the consummation of the merger or the conclusion reached
in the Financial Analysis.
Parent has also agreed to indemnify Duff &
Phelps for certain liabilities arising out of their engagement. In addition, Parent has agreed to reimburse Duff & Phelps for
its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the rendering of the Financial Analysis not to exceed $10,000.00.
The terms of the fee arrangements with Duff
& Phelps, which Parent believes are customary in transactions of this nature, were negotiated at arm’s length, and Parent’s
board of directors is aware of these fee arrangements. Duff & Phelps has undertaken a review of its records to determine its
professional relationship with Parent, Shengda Packaging, and other parties of interest, and, to the best knowledge of Duff &
Phelps, has identified no material relationships with any such parties other than having provided the Financial Analysis to Parent
pursuant to the Engagement Letter, dated as of May 18, 2015, between Duff & Phelps and Parent.
CERTAIN
FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS
Shengda Packaging provided Parent and
Duff & Phelps with selected, non-public financial projections for financial years ending December 31, 2015 through 2024 prepared
by Shengda Packaging’s management. We have included a summary of these projections below to give stockholders of Shengda
Packaging access to certain nonpublic information provided to Parent and Duff & Phelps. Shengda Packaging does not as a matter
of course make public projections as to future performance or earnings. These financial projections constitute forward-looking
statements. See “Cautionary Note regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Shengda Packaging advised the recipients
of the Management Projections that such projections are subjective in many respects. The Management Projections are based on a
variety of estimates and assumptions made by Shengda Packaging’s management regarding Shengda Packaging’s business,
industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, many of which are difficult
to predict and are beyond Shengda Packaging’s control.
The Management Projections were prepared
by Shengda Packaging’s management in good faith and on a reasonable basis based on the best information available to Shengda
Packaging’s management at the time of their preparation. The Management Projections, however, are not actual results and
should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of actual future results, and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance
on this information. Neither Shengda Packaging’s independent auditors, nor any other independent accountants, have compiled,
examined or performed any procedures with respect to the Management Projections set forth below, nor have they expressed any opinion
or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. The Management Projections were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure
or compliance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), the published guidelines
of the SEC regarding projections or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation
and presentation of prospective financial information. Except as required by law, Shengda Packaging does not intend to update the
Management Projections or to make other projections public in the future.
In addition, because the Management Projections
cover multiple years, such information by its nature becomes less predictive with each successive year and becomes subject to increasing
uncertainty in the years beyond 2015. While presented with numeric specificity, the assumptions upon which the Management Projections
were based necessarily involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic and competitive conditions, many
of which are difficult to predict accurately and are beyond the control of Shengda Packaging’s management. See the risk factors
included in Shengda Packaging’s most recent filings on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K filed with the SEC. Also, the economic and
business environment can and do change quickly, which add a significant level of unpredictability and execution risk. It is expected
that differences between actual and projected results will occur, and actual results may be materially greater or less than those
contained in the projections. If the merger is not consummated, Shengda Packaging may not be able to achieve these financial projections.
There can be no assurance that the projections, or the assumptions underlying the projections, will be realized. Accordingly, you
are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the Management Projections included herein.
The following table shows the Management
Projections considered by Parent and Duff & Phelps in connection with the Financial Analysis:

Item 4. Terms of the Transaction
Material Terms
Pursuant to the Contribution
Agreement, the Contributing Stockholders agree to contribute an aggregate of 7,041,997 Shares, or approximately 90.8% of the
total outstanding Shares to Parent, in exchange for 7,041,996 ordinary shares issued by Parent (Chairman SPV has subscribed
one ordinary share of Parent in connection with the formation of Parent). Immediately after the contribution of the Shares by
the Contributing Stockholders, Parent will in turn contribute such Shares to Merger Sub and cause Merger Sub to merge with
and into Shengda Packaging through a “short-form” merger under Chapter 92A.180 of the NRS. On May 21, 2015,
Merger Sub adopted the Plan of Merger to be effective upon the completion of the contribution of the Shares to be held by
Parent to Merger Sub as required under the NRS in order to effect the merger. As soon as practicable on the merger closing
date, Parent and Merger Sub will cause the articles of merger to be executed and filed with
the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada in accordance with Section 92A.200 of the NRS.
At the effective time of the merger,
| · | Merger Sub will merge with and into Shengda Packaging, and the separate corporate existence of
Merger Sub will cease and Shengda Packaging will continue its corporate existence as the surviving corporation in the merger under
the laws of the State of Nevada as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent; |
| · | Each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, other
than any Excluded Shares, will be converted into the right of its holder to receive the Merger Consideration; |
| · | All of such Shares that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration
will no longer be outstanding and will be automatically cancelled and cease to exist as of the effective time; |
| · | All Excluded Shares will be automatically cancelled and cease to exist as of the effective time,
without any conversion of such Excluded Shares and no payment or distribution will be made with respect to such Excluded Shares. |
The respective obligations of each of
Parent, Merger Sub, Chairman SPV, the Chairman and the other Contributing Stockholders to complete the contribution of the Shares
owned by the Contributing Stockholders and other transactions contemplated under the Contribution Agreement are subject to the
satisfaction or waiver of the following conditions:
| · | The 13e-3 disclosure materials shall have been disseminated to Shengda Packaging’s stockholders
in accordance with Rule 13e-3 and other applicable laws for at least the minimum period of time required by Rule 13e-3 and other
applicable laws. |
| · | Receipt of a stockholders’ list of Shengda Packaging, dated no more than five business days
prior to the date of the Contribution Agreement, including names and addresses of each stockholder and reflecting that (A) each
Contributing Stockholder is the record holder of the Shares set forth in the Contribution Agreement and (B) the Contributing Stockholders
collectively own at least 90% of the outstanding Shares, certified by the current transfer agent of Shengda Packaging. |
| · | The concurrent consummation of the contribution by all the Contributing Stockholders, certified
by the current transfer agent of Shengda Packaging. |
| · | The concurrent consummation of the issuance of ordinary shares of Parent to the Contributing Stockholders
in exchange for the contribution of their Shares to Parent. |
| · | The due execution of the escrow agreement as contemplated under the Contribution Agreement. |
| · | No government entity of competent jurisdiction have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered
any law or any order, judgment, injunction, award, decision, determination, stipulation, ruling, subpoena, writ, decree or verdict
(whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that is then in effect and has the effect of enjoining, restraining, prohibiting
or otherwise making illegal the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement, including the contribution
of the Shares, the subscription of 758,621 ordinary shares of Parent by Chairman SPV at a price of $7.25 per share (the “Subscription”),
and the merger. |
| · | The concurrent consummation of the Subscription. |
Under Chapter 92A.180 of the NRS, because
Parent will hold at least 90% of the outstanding Shares prior to the merger, Parent will have the power to effect the merger without
a vote of the board of directors or the stockholders of Shengda Packaging. The Filing Persons intend to take all necessary and
appropriate action to cause the merger to become effective on the effective date, without a meeting or consent of the board of
directors or the stockholders of Shengda Packaging.
Prior to the effective time of the merger,
Parent will designate a bank or trust company to act as the paying agent for the payment of the Merger Consideration. Prior to
or at the effective time of the merger, Parent will deposit, or will cause to be deposited, with the paying agent an amount in
cash sufficient for the paying agent to make payments to the stockholders of Shengda Packaging. As promptly as practical, after
the effective time of the merger, the paying agent will mail to each stockholder of record (other than holders of the Excluded
Shares) (a) a letter of transmittal in customary form and (b) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of any share certificates
in exchange for the applicable Merger Consideration. Upon completion of the merger, in order to receive the Merger Consideration,
each stockholder (other than holders of the Excluded Shares) or a duly authorized representative must (i) deliver an executed letter
of transmittal, appropriately completed and executed, to the paying agent, and (ii) surrender such Shares by delivering the stock
certificate or certificates that, prior to the merger, had evidenced such Shares to the paying agent. Stockholders are encouraged
to read the letter of transmittal carefully when received. Do not forward your stock certificates to the paying agent without a
letter of transmittal. You will not be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration until you surrender your stock certificate
or certificates along with a duly completed and executed letter of transmittal to the paying agent or until the paying agent receives
an “agent’s message” in the case of Shares held in book-entry form and other documents reasonably required by
the paying agent and approved by Parent.
For United States federal income tax
purposes generally, the receipt of the Merger Consideration by holders of the Shares pursuant to the merger will be a taxable sale
of the holders’ Shares. See “Special Factors – Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” on
page 21 of this Schedule 13E-3.
Post-Closing Put Right
Within
45 days after the merger is completed, each of Other Contributing Stockholder will have a Put Right to require Chairman SPV to
purchase the Put Securities at a price of $7.25 per share.The
Other Contributing Stockholders are granted the Put Rights instead of simply being paid for their Shares together with the other
unaffiliated stockholders of Shengda Packaging at a price of $7.25 per Share because by taking into account the Shares owned by
the Other Contributing Stockholders, all of the Contributing Stockholders will beneficially own an aggregate of 7,041,997 Shares,
or approximately 90.8% of the total outstanding Shares, which will enable them to pursue a “short-form” merger under
Section 92A.180 of the NRS. The Contributing Stockholders believe that a “short-form” merger is the most cost-effective
way for Parent to acquire all of the other Shares of Shengda Packaging not owned directly or indirectly by the Contributing Stockholders
and to provide a source of immediate liquidity to the holders of such Shares. In addition, the Put Rights provide the Other Contributing
Stockholders with liquidity to exit their investments in Shengda Packaging, as well as the possibility to benefit by participating
in the long-term value of Shengda Packaging if any of them decides not to exercise its Put Right.
Different Terms
Stockholders of Shengda Packaging will
be treated as described in this Item 4 under “Material Terms” above.
Provisions for Unaffiliated Stockholders

grant the unaffiliated stockholders of Shengda Packaging special access to the corporate files of the Filing Persons in connection
with the merger. None of the Filing Persons intends to obtain counsel or appraisal services at the expense of the Filing Persons

law in connection with the merger.
