Amendment to the Transaction Statement
The following paragraphs are added after the last paragraph under the heading “Background of the Merger” under the caption “Special Factors” of the Proxy Statement, beginning on page 27 of the Proxy Statement:
“On March 18, 2021 local time, the independent committee received, through Harney Westwood & Riegels LP, counsel to Fulcan Capital Partners LLC (“Fulcan”), an ex parte injunction order (the “Court Order”) entered as of March 17, 2021 by the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court in the High Court of Justice, Virgin Islands (the “Court”). The Court Order was sought by Fulcan following the independent committee’s rejection of Fulcan’s proposal to purchase all outstanding ordinary shares of the Company not owned by Fulcan and an affiliate thereof due to the infirmities of such proposal. The Court Order enjoins the Company, the members of the board of the directors, and Tigerwind Group Limited, a special purpose vehicle wholly owned by Mr. Yuebiao Li, from taking any steps to proceed with the proposed merger transaction contemplated under the merger agreement. The Court Order also provides that the meeting be postponed until at least twenty days after the final determination of Fulcan’s claim or until further order of the court, whichever is later.
On March 18, 2021, the independent committee held a telephonic meeting with MagStone and Ogier. During the meeting, representatives from MagStone and Ogier explained to and informed the independent committee of the current status and the effects of Fulcan’s claims and the Court Order. The independent committee instructs Ogier to vigorously defend against Fulcan’s claim. The independent committee directed the Company to postpone the extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the Company originally scheduled on March 19, 2021, at 8:30 am (Beijing Time) until further notice and make prompt public disclosure in connection therewith.
The Company publicly announced its receipt of the Court Order and postponement of the extraordinary general meeting on March 18, 2021.”
