Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
The Offer and withdrawal rights expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of September 8, 2020 (the Expiration Date). Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the tender agent (the Tender Agent), has advised the Offeror Group that, as of immediately prior to the end of the Expiration Date, a total of 76,070,636 Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) had been validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer, representing approximately 18.1% of 419,546,494 outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Company. In addition, Notices of Guaranteed Delivery have been delivered for 8,523,620 Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs), representing approximately 2.0% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Company. The Tender Agent has further advised the Offeror Group that, as of 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on September 10, 2020, Notices of Guaranteed Delivery for 4,697,420 Ordinary Shares had been converted into validly tendered Ordinary Shares.
The number of Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) that had been validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer (excluding Ordinary Shares tendered pursuant to Notices of Guaranteed Delivery for which certificates or confirmations of book-entry transfer had not yet been received by the Tender Agent) immediately prior to the end of the Expiration Date satisfied the Minimum Condition, and all other conditions to the Offer were satisfied or waived. Promptly after the Expiration Date, Purchaser entered into the Loan Facility and accepted for payment all Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer.
As disclosed under the Form 6-K filed by the Company on August 31, 2020, on August 28, 2020, the Company was informed that Hudson Capital had purportedly filed a winding up petition in respect of the Company (the Winding Up Petition) with the Cayman court. Pursuant to the Companies Law (as amended) of the Cayman Islands, the Merger cannot be consummated for so long as the Winding Up Petition remaining outstanding, or if any order shall have been made or resolution adopted to wind up the Company (such proceedings, Winding Up Proceedings). The Offeror Group is monitoring the Winding Up Petition closely and intends to effect the Merger as promptly as practicable once any Winding Up Proceedings are no longer outstanding or in effect. At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding Ordinary Share (other than those held by Offeror Group) will be converted into the right to receive $0.30 in cash per Ordinary Share, without interest and less any required withholding taxes; and each ADS issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time, together with the underlying Ordinary Shares represented by such ADS, shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive $6.00 in cash per ADS without interest and less any ADS cancellation fees and other related fees and withholding taxes. Instructions outlining the steps required to be taken to obtain the merger consideration will be provided to shareholders of the Company who did not tender their Ordinary Shares and/or ADSs in the Offer. Parent intends to cause all ADSs to be delisted from Nasdaq and Ordinary Shares deregistered under the Exchange Act.
