Item 3. Source or Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

On November 25, 2014, Yili Shengda acquired in a privately negotiated transaction 48,759,187 Class B Ordinary Shares from Shanda SDG Investment Limited (“SDG”), pursuant to the SDG Class B Share Purchase Agreement (as defined below) for a purchase price of US$250 million. Yili Shengda obtained the funds used to acquire shares under the SDG Class B Share Purchase Agreement by a loan from Bank of China, Macau Branch. This loan has a term of 12 months starting from the disbursement of the loan proceeds on November 25, 2014, and bears an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.25%, payable on a quarterly basis.


Pursuant to the Merger Agreement (as defined below), Merger Sub (as defined below) will be merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer surviving the Merger (as defined below) and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (as defined below) as a result of the Merger. The descriptions of the Merger and the Merger Agreement set forth in Item 4 below are incorporated by reference in their entirety into this Item 3. The information disclosed in this paragraph is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 7.05, and in incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

It is anticipated that, at a price of US$7.10 in cash per ADS (each representing two Class A Ordinary Shares) or US$3.55 in cash per Class A Ordinary Share, approximately US$467.2 million will be expended in acquiring approximately 131.6 million outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares (calculated based on the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding as of April 3, 2015) owned by shareholders of the Issuer other than the Consortium Members (as defined below) in connection with the Merger. Pursuant to the Zhongrong Legend Equity Commitment Letter (as defined below), the Ningxia Silkroad Equity Commitment Letter (as defined below) and the Zhengjun Investment Equity Commitment Letter (as defined below), the Merger will be financed with cash contributions in Parent from each of Zhongrong Legend (as defined below), Ningxia Silkroad (as defined below) and Zhengjun Investment or their affiliates.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

On November 25, 2014, SDG, Yili Shengda, Ningxia Zhongyincashmere International Group Co., Ltd. (“Ningxia”), and Zhongrong Shengda Investment Holdings (Hong Kong) Company Limited, an affiliate of Ningxia (“Zhongrong Shengda”) entered into a share purchase agreement (the “SDG Class B Share Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which each of Yili Shengda and Zhongrong Shengda agreed to purchase 48,759,187 Class B Ordinary Shares from SDG. The purchase and sale under the SDG Class B Share Purchase Agreement were completed on the same day (the “Closing”). As a result, all of the Class B Ordinary Shares held by SDG immediately prior to the Closing had been transferred to Yili Shengda and Zhongrong Shengda, and SDG no longer beneficially owns any ordinary shares of the Issuer.

On December 5, 2014, Ningxia Yilida and Ningxia (together with Ningxia Yilida, the “2014 Consortium,” and each member in the 2014 Consortium, a “2014 Consortium Member”) entered into a consortium agreement (the “2014 Consortium Agreement”). Under the 2014 Consortium Agreement, the 2014 Consortium Members agreed, among other things, (i) to acquire the Issuer in a going private transaction (the “2014 Transaction”), (ii) to deal exclusively with each other with respect to the 2014 Transaction until the earlier of (x) February 6, 2015, and (y) termination of the 2014 Consortium Agreement, and (iii) to cooperate and proceed in good faith to negotiate and consummate the 2014 Transaction. The 2014 Consortium Members intended to acquire the Issuer at a price of US$6.90 in cash per ADS (each representing two Class A Ordinary Shares) or $3.45 in cash per Class A Ordinary Share. Pursuant to its terms, the 2014 Consortium Agreement terminated automatically on February 6, 2015 upon the expiration of the exclusivity period.

On March 16, 2015, Ningxia Yilida, Ningxia, Orient Hongtai (Hong Kong) Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong (“Hongtai HK”), Orient Hongzhi (Hong Kong) Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong and an affiliate of Hongtai HK (“Hongzhi HK”), and Hao Ding International Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Hao Ding”, together with Ningxia Yilida, Ningxia, Hongtai HK and Hongzhi HK, the “Consortium,” and each member of the Consortium, a “Consortium Member”), entered into a consortium agreement (the “Consortium Agreement”). Under the Consortium Agreement, the Consortium Members agreed, among other things, (i) to acquire the Issuer in a going private transaction (the “Transaction”), (ii) to deal exclusively with each other with respect to the Transaction until the earlier of (x) April 30, 2015, and (y) termination of the Consortium Agreement, and (iii) to cooperate and proceed in good faith to negotiate and consummate the Transaction.

On April 3, 2015, the Issuer entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Capitalhold Limited, a Cayman Islands company (“Parent”) and Capitalcorp Limited, a Cayman Islands company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”), with the Issuer surviving the Merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent as a result of the Merger. At the effective time of the Merger, each of the Issuer’s Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) will be cancelled in consideration for the right to receive $3.55 per Ordinary Share or US$7.10 per ADS, in each case, in cash, without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes, except for (i) the Ordinary Shares held by each of Yili Shengda, Zhongrong Shengda, Zhongrong Investment Holdings (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd., a Hong Kong company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ningxia, Hongtai HK, Hongzhi HK, and Hao Ding (such shareholders, the “Rollover Shareholders,” and such Ordinary Shares, the “Rollover Shares”), and any Ordinary Shares held by Parent, the Issuer or any of their subsidiaries immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, each of which will be cancelled without payment of any consideration or distribution therefor, and (ii) Ordinary Shares owned by holders who have validly exercised and not effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to dissent from the Merger pursuant to Section 238 of the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands, which Ordinary Shares will be cancelled at the effective time of the Merger for the right to receive the fair value of such Ordinary Shares determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 238 of the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands. The Merger is subject to the approval of the Issuer’s shareholders and various other closing conditions.


Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Rollover Shareholders entered into a support agreement (the “Support Agreement”) with Parent, pursuant to which the Rollover Shareholders agreed, among other things, that (i) each of them will vote the Rollover Shares in favor of the authorization and approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, including the Merger, and (ii) the Rollover Shares will be cancelled without payment of any consideration or distribution therefor at the effective time of the Merger.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, each of Ningxia Zhongrong Legend Equity Investment Partnership Enterprise (Limited Partnership) (“Zhongrong Legend”), a PRC limited partnership and an affiliate of Ningxia, Ningxia Silkroad Equity Investment Partnership Enterprise (Limited Partnership) (“Ningxia Silkroad”), a PRC limited partnership and an affiliate of Ningxia, and Zhengjun Investment entered into an adherence agreement (individually, the “Zhongrong Legend Adherence Agreement,” the “Ningxia Silkroad Adherence Agreement,” and the “Zhengjun Investment Adherence Agreement”) with the existing Consortium Members, pursuant to which each of Zhongrong Legend, Ningxia Silkroad and Zhengjun Investment became a party to the Consortium Agreement and joined the Consortium.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, each of Zhongrong Legend, Ningxia Silkroad and Zhengjun Investment entered into an equity commitment letter (individually, the “Zhongrong Legend Equity Commitment Letter,” the “Ningxia Silkroad Commitment Letter,” and the “Zhengjun Investment Commitment Letter”) with Parent, pursuant to which each of Zhongrong Legend, Ningxia Silkroad and Zhengjun Investment undertook to fund the transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement through cash contributions in Parent from each of them or their affiliates.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, each of Zhongrong Legend, Ningxia Silkroad and Zhengjun Investment entered into a limited guarantee (individually, the “Zhongrong Legend Limited Guarantee,” the “Ningxia Silkroad Limited Guarantee,” and the “Zhengjun Investment Limited Guarantee”) in favor of the Issuer with respect to, among other things, a portion of the payment obligations of Parent and Merger Sub corresponding to the cash contributions committed by each of Zhongrong Legend, Ningxia Silkroad and Zhengjun Investment as set out in their respective equity commitment letters.

If the Merger is completed, the ADSs would be delisted from the NASDAQ Global Select Market and the Issuer’s obligations to file periodic report under the Exchange Act would be terminated.

In addition, consummation of the Merger could result in one or more of the actions specified in clauses (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, including the acquisition or disposition of securities of the Issuer, a merger or other extraordinary transaction involving the Issuer, a change to the Board (as the board of the surviving company in the Merger) to consist solely of persons to be designated by the Consortium Members, and a change in the Issuer’s memorandum and articles of association to reflect that the Issuer would become a privately held company. No assurance can be given that the Merger will be consummated.

Descriptions of the SDG Class B Share Purchase Agreement, the 2014 Consortium Agreement and the Consortium Agreement, the Merger Agreement, the Support Agreement, the Zhongrong Legend Adherence Agreement, the Ningxia Silkroad Adherence Agreement, the Zhengjun Investment Adherence Agreement, the Zhongrong Legend Equity Commitment Letter, the Ningxia Silkroad Equity Commitment Letter, the Zhengjun Investment Equity Commitment Letter, the Zhongrong Legend Limited Guarantee, the Ningxia Silkroad Limited Guarantee and the Zhengjun Investment Limited Guarantee in this Statement are qualified in their entirety by reference to such above-mentioned agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 7.02, 7.03, 7.04, 7.05, 7.06, 7.07, 7.08, 7.09, 7.10, 7.11, 7.12, 7.13, 7.14 and 7.15 hereto and incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a)-(b) The following disclosure assumes that there were a total of 443,179,215 Class A Ordinary Shares and 97,518,374 Class B Ordinary Shares outstanding as of April 3, 2015. Each Class A Ordinary Share is entitled to one vote per share and is not convertible into Class B Ordinary Shares. Each Class B Ordinary Share is entitled to 10 votes per share and is convertible at any time into one Class A Ordinary Share at the election of its holder.


As of the date hereof, Yili Shengda is the record holder 48,759,187 Class B Ordinary Shares, representing 50.0% of the Class B Ordinary Shares outstanding as of April 3, 2015, or approximately 9.0% of the total Ordinary Shares outstanding as of April 3, 2015, or approximately 34.4% of total number of votes represented by the total Ordinary Shares outstanding as of April 3, 2015. Mr. Yingfeng Zhang has the sole power to direct the vote and the disposition of the Class B Ordinary Shares that may be deemed to be owned beneficially by each of the Reporting Persons.

ARTICLE V

TERMINATION

This Agreement, and the obligations of the Shareholders hereunder (including, without limitation, Section 1.2 hereof), shall terminate and be of no further force or effect immediately upon the earlier to occur of (a) the Closing and (b) the date of termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms; provided, that this Article V and Article VI shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Nothing in this Article V shall relieve or otherwise limit any party’s liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to the termination of this Agreement. If for any reason the Merger fails to occur but the Rollover Closing contemplated by Article II has already taken place, then Parent shall promptly take all such actions as are necessary to restore each Shareholder to the position it was in with respect to ownership of the Rollover Shares prior to the Rollover Closing.

ARTICLE VI

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 6.1 Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given (and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt) by delivery in person, by facsimile or by international overnight courier to the respective parties at the address set forth on the signature pages hereto under each party’s name (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 6.1).

Section 6.2 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 6.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Consortium Agreement and the Merger Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Section 6.4 Specific Performance. Each party acknowledges and agrees that monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any covenant or agreement in this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its terms, and therefore agrees that, in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right available to the parties, each party will have the right to an injunction, temporary restraining order or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof. Each party agrees not to oppose the granting of such relief in the event a court determines that such a breach has occurred, and to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. All rights, powers, and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise of any thereof by a party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power or remedy by a party.

 

8


Section 6.5 Amendments; Waivers. At any time prior to the Expiration Time, any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Shareholders and Parent, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder.

Section 6.6 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of Law or conflict of Law rules or provisions that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

Section 6.7 Dispute Resolution.

(a) Any disputes, actions and proceedings against any party or arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement shall be submitted to the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (“HKIAC”) and resolved in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of HKIAC in force at the relevant time (the “Rules”) and as may be amended by this Section 6.7. The place of arbitration shall be Hong Kong. The official language of the arbitration shall be English and the arbitration tribunal shall consist of three arbitrators (each, an “Arbitrator”). The claimant(s), irrespective of number, shall nominate jointly one Arbitrator; the respondent(s), irrespective of number, shall nominate jointly one Arbitrator; and a third Arbitrator will be nominated jointly by the first two Arbitrators and shall serve as chairman of the tribunal. In the event the claimant(s) or respondent(s) or the first two Arbitrators shall fail to nominate or agree the joint nomination of an Arbitrator or the third Arbitrator within the time limits specified by the Rules, such Arbitrator shall be appointed promptly by the HKIAC. The arbitration tribunal shall have no authority to award punitive or other punitive-type damages. The award of the arbitration tribunal shall be final and binding upon the disputing parties.

The Sponsor’s Commitment shall be subject to (a) the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted) at or prior to the Closing of each of the conditions to Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations to effect the Closing set forth in Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 of the Merger Agreement (other than any conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing but subject to the prior or substantially concurrent satisfaction of such conditions) and (b) the substantially simultaneous consummation of the Closing in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. The Sponsor may allocate or otherwise assign all or a portion of the Commitment to (i) subject to the prior written consent of Parent, one or more Affiliates of the Sponsor, or (ii) subject to the prior written consent of each of Parent and the Company, other persons, provided that in each of clauses (i) and (ii), (A) such allocation or assignment shall not relieve the Sponsor of any of its obligations hereunder, including its obligation to fund the full amount of the Commitment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the Sponsor shall remain jointly and severally liable with any and all parties to which any portion of the Sponsor’s Commitment has been allocated or assigned, (B) the person to which any portion of the Commitment is allocated or otherwise assigned executes an equity commitment letter substantially identical to this Agreement, and (C) the Sponsor’s Commitment hereunder will only be reduced by any amounts actually contributed to Parent by such Affiliates or other persons (and not returned) at or prior to the Closing Date for the purpose of funding a portion of the Merger Consideration, any other amounts required to be paid pursuant to the Merger Agreement and related fees and expenses incurred or to be incurred pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

3. Limited Guarantee. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Sponsor is executing and delivering to the Company a limited guarantee related to certain of Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations under the Merger Agreement (the “Limited Guarantee”). The parties acknowledge and agree that the Company’s rights pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the Company’s rights against Parent and Merger Sub pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and the Company’s remedies against the Sponsor and the Non-Recourse Parties (as defined in the Limited Guarantee) under the Limited Guarantee, shall be, and are intended to be, the sole and exclusive direct or indirect remedies available to the Company against the Sponsor or any Non-Recourse Party in respect of any liabilities or obligations arising under, or in connection with, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby or the negotiation thereof, including in the event Parent or Merger Sub breaches its obligations under the Merger Agreement, whether or not such breach is caused by the Sponsor’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement.

The parties hereto hereby agree that their respective agreements and obligations set forth herein are solely for the benefit of the other party hereto and its respective successors and permitted assigns, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, and this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns any benefits, rights or remedies under or by reason of, or any rights to enforce or cause Parent to enforce, the obligations set forth herein; provided, that the Company is an express third-party beneficiary hereof and shall have the enforcement rights provided in Section 5 of this Agreement and no others.

5. Enforceability. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with the terms hereof.

No creditor of Parent or Merger Sub (other than the Company to the extent provided herein) shall have any right to enforce this Agreement or to cause Parent or any other person to seek to enforce this Agreement against the Sponsor.

6. No Modification; Entire Agreement. This Agreement may not be amended or otherwise modified without the prior written consent of Parent and the Sponsor. Together with the Merger Agreement and the Limited Guarantee, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and statements, written or oral, between the Sponsor or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Parent or any of its Affiliates, on the other, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. Except as expressly permitted in Section 2 hereof, no transfer of any rights or obligations hereunder shall be permitted without the consent of Parent and the Sponsor.

7. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution.

(a) This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed by and in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of Law principles thereof that would subject such matter to the Laws of another jurisdiction. Any disputes, actions and proceedings against any party or arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement shall be submitted to the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (“HKIAC”) and resolved in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of HKIAC (the “Rules”) in force at the relevant time and as may be amended by this Section 7(a). The place of arbitration shall be Hong Kong. The official language of the arbitration shall be English and the arbitration tribunal shall consist of three arbitrators (each, an “Arbitrator”). The claimant(s), irrespective of number, shall nominate jointly one Arbitrator; the respondent(s), irrespective of number, shall nominate jointly one Arbitrator; and a third Arbitrator will be nominated jointly by the first two Arbitrators and shall serve as chairman of the arbitration tribunal. In the event the claimant(s) or respondent(s) or the first two Arbitrators shall fail to nominate or agree the joint nomination of an Arbitrator or the third Arbitrator within the time limits specified by the Rules, such Arbitrator shall be appointed promptly by the HKIAC. The arbitration tribunal shall have no authority to award punitive or other punitive-type damages. The award of the arbitration tribunal shall be final and binding upon the disputing parties. Any party to an award may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of such award and, for purposes of the enforcement of such award, the parties irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction and waive any defenses to such enforcement based on lack of personal jurisdiction or inconvenient forum.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereby consent to and agree that in addition to any recourse to arbitration as set out in this Section 7, any party may, to the extent permitted under the Laws of the jurisdiction where application is made, seek an interim injunction from a court or other authority with competent jurisdiction and, notwithstanding that this Agreement is governed by the Laws of the State of New York, a court or authority hearing an application for injunctive relief may apply the procedural Law of the jurisdiction where the court or other authority is located in determining whether to grant the interim injunction. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7(b) is only applicable to the seeking of interim injunctions and does not otherwise restrict the application of Section 7(a) in any way.

8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including by facsimile or by .pdf delivered via email), each such counterpart when executed being deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same agreement.

9. Confidentiality. This Agreement shall be treated as confidential and is being provided to Parent and the Company solely in connection with the Merger. This Agreement may not be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to in any document by Parent or the Company except with the prior written consent of Sponsor in each instance; provided, that no such written consent is required for any disclosure of this Agreement to (i) the extent required by applicable Law, the applicable rules of any national securities exchange or in connection with any SEC filing relating to the Merger or (ii) Parent’s or the Company’s Affiliates and Representatives who need to know of the existence of this Agreement.

10. Termination. The obligation of the Sponsor under or in connection with this Agreement will terminate automatically and immediately upon the earliest to occur of (a) the Closing (at which time all such obligations shall be discharged, but subject to the performance of such obligations), (b) the termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to its terms (unless the Company shall have previously made a claim under clause (b) of the first sentence of Section 5 hereof, in which case this Agreement shall terminate upon the final, non-appealable resolution of such action and satisfaction by the Sponsor of any obligations finally determined or agreed to be owed by the Sponsor, consistent with the terms hereof), and (c) the Company or any of its Affiliates, or any person claiming by, through or for the benefit of the Company, asserting a claim that would make the Limited Guarantee become terminable in accordance with the terms thereof.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 2 hereof, the Sponsor’s obligation to fund the Commitment may not be assigned or delegated (whether by operation of Law, merger, consolidation or otherwise). Parent may not assign its rights to any of its Affiliates or other entity owned directly or indirectly by the beneficial owners of Parent, without the prior written consent of the Sponsor and the Company (which shall be given or withheld solely in the discretion of the Sponsor and the Company). Any purported assignment of this Agreement or the Commitment in contravention of this Section 11 shall be void.
