INTRODUCTION

 

This Amendment No. 2 to Rule 13E-3 transaction statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with the exhibits hereto (this “ Transaction Statement ”), is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), jointly by the following persons (each, a “ Filing Person ,” and collectively, the “ Filing Persons ”):

 

· Synutra International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), the issuer of the common stock, par value US$0.0001 per share (the “ Common Stock ”), that is subject to the transaction pursuant to Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act;

 

· Beams Power Investment Limited, a company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“ Parent ”);

 

· Beams Power Merger Sub Limited, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“ Merger Sub ”);

 

· Mr. Liang Zhang, the chairman and chief executive officer of the Company (“ Mr. Zhang ”); and

 

· Ms. Xiuqing Meng, the spouse of Mr. Zhang and the sole shareholder and director of Parent (“ Ms. Meng ”).

 

In this Transaction Statement, we refer to Parent, Merger Sub, Mr. Zhang and Ms. Meng collectively as the “ buyer group .”

 

On November 17, 2016, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “ merger agreement ”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “ merger ”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation after the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Parent is wholly-owned by Ms. Meng as of the date of this Transaction Statement. The merger is a going private transaction by the buyer group, which will beneficially own 100% of the Company at the effective time of the merger.

 

If the merger is approved by the required stockholder approval and consummated, each outstanding share of the Common Stock, other than the excluded shares and the dissenting shares, as such term is defined in the merger agreement, will be converted into the right to receive per share merger consideration of US$6.05 in cash without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes. Shares held by (i) any of Parent, Merger Sub and any other direct or indirect subsidiary of Parent and (ii) the Company ((i) and (ii) collectively, the “ excluded shares ”) will be cancelled and cease to exist and no payment or distribution will be made to the holders of such excluded shares at the effective time of the merger.

 

The merger remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the merger agreement, including obtaining the requisite approval of the stockholders of the Company. Adoption of the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote (in person or by proxy) of (i) the holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock entitled to vote and (ii) the holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock (other than the excluded shares) (such holders, the “ minority stockholders ”), in each case in accordance with the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. As of November 17, 2016, the buyer group beneficially owned 36,000,000 shares of the Common Stock, which represented approximately 63.5% of the total outstanding shares of the Common Stock. Neither the Company nor any subsidiary of the Company is a party to any voting agreement with respect to the voting of any shares of the Common Stock. Accordingly, due to the “majority of the minority stockholders” vote requirement described in clause (ii) above, based on the 56,690,400 shares of the Common Stock expected to be outstanding on the record date, more than 10,345,200 shares of the Common Stock owned by the minority stockholders (representing greater than 50% of the total outstanding shares of the Common Stock owned by the minority stockholders and , together with all the shares beneficially owned by the buyer group, 81.8 % of the total outstanding shares of the Common Stock) must be voted in favor of the proposal to adopt the merger agreement for it to be approved.

 

 

 

Concurrently with the filing of this Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13E-3, the Company is filing a definitive proxy statement (the “ Proxy Statemen t”) under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, relating to a special meeting of the stockholders of the Company at which the stockholders of the Company will consider and vote upon a proposal to adopt the merger agreement and to approve the adjournment or postponement of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the proposal to adopt the merger agreement. The cross reference sheet below is being supplied pursuant to General Instruction G to Schedule 13E-3 and shows the location in the Proxy Statement of the information required to be included in response to the items of Schedule 13E-3.
