Item 15 Additional Information
On February 22, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. (Beijing time), an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the Company was held at Gridsum, South Wing, High Technology Building, No. 229 North 4th Ring Road, Haidian District, Beijing 100083, People's Republic of China. At the extraordinary general meeting, the shareholders of the Company authorized and approved the Merger Agreement, the plan of merger required to be filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman
1
Islands, in the form attached as Exhibit A to the Merger Agreement (the "Plan of Merger") and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, and authorized each of directors of the Company to do all things necessary to give effect to the Merger Agreement, the Plan of Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger.
On March 25, 2021, the Company and Merger Sub filed the Plan of Merger with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands, which was registered by the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands as of March 25, 2021, pursuant to which the Merger became effective on March 25, 2021. As a result of the Merger, the Company ceased to be a publicly traded company and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.
At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than (a) Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs) owned by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company (as treasury shares, if any) or any of their direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries; (b) Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs) reserved (but not yet allocated) by the Company for settlement upon exercise or vesting of Company Options (as defined below) and/or Company RSUs (as defined below); (c) Shares (including such Shares represented by ADSs), Company Options and Company RSUs held by the Rollover Securityholders immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (d) Shares owned by shareholders who had validly exercised and had not effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to dissent from the Merger in accordance with Section 238 of the Companies Law Cap. 22 (Law 3 of 1961, as consolidated and revised) of the Cayman Islands (the "Cayman Islands Companies Law"), which were cancelled and entitle the former holders thereof to receive the fair value thereon in accordance with the provisions of Section 238 of the Cayman Islands Companies Law (collectively, the "Dissenting Shares") (Shares described under (a) through (d) above are collectively referred to herein as the "Excluded Shares"), was cancelled and ceased to exist and converted into and exchanged for the right to receive US$2.00 (the "Per Share Merger Consideration") and each issued and outstanding ADS (other than ADSs representing the Rollover Shares) represents the right to surrender one ADS in exchange for US$2.00 (less a US$0.05 per ADS cash distribution fee pursuant to the terms of the deposit agreement dated September 28, 2016 (as amended) among the Company, CITIBANK, N.A. and the holders and beneficial owners of ADSs issued thereunder), in each case, in cash, without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes.
At the Effective Time, each option to purchase Shares granted under the Company's Stock Option Plan and Equity Incentive Plan (together, the "Company Incentive Plans") (each a "Company Option") (other than any Company Option that is held by Rollover Securityholders) that was vested and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled and converted into the right of the holder of such vested Company Option to receive cash in the amount equal to the product of (x) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Merger Consideration over the exercise price per Class B Ordinary Share under such Company Option and (y) the number of Class B Ordinary Shares subject to such Company Option, provided that if the exercise price per Class B Ordinary Share of any such Company Option is equal to or greater than the Per Share Merger Consideration, such Company Option will be cancelled without any consideration payable in respect thereof.
At the Effective Time, each Company Option that was unvested and outstanding immediately as of the Effective Time was cancelled as of the Effective Time automatically and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, for no consideration.
At the Effective Time, each restricted share unit of the Company granted under the Company Incentive Plans (each a "Company RSU") (other than any Company RSU that is held by Rollover Securityholders) outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled as of the Effective Time and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to (i) Per Share Merger Consideration, multiplied by (ii) the number of Class B Ordinary Shares underlying such Company RSU, provided that if a Company RSU is unvested, it shall automatically and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, be deemed to have vested immediately prior to the Effective Time.
2
As a result of the Merger, the ADS program for the ADSs will terminate and the ADSs will no longer be listed on any securities exchange or quotation system, including the NASDAQ Global Select Market, and the Company will cease to be a publicly traded company. The Company has requested NASDAQ to file an application on Form 25 with the SEC to remove the ADSs from listing on NASDAQ and withdraw registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act. In addition, 90 days after the filing of Form 25 in connection with the Transactions, or such shorter period as may be determined by the SEC, the deregistration of the ADSs of the Company and the Shares underlying them will become effective and the reporting obligations of the Company under the Exchange Act will be terminated. The Company intends to terminate its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act by filing a certification and notice on Form 15 with the SEC. The Company's reporting obligations under the Exchange Act will be suspended immediately as of the filing date of the Form 15 and will terminate once the deregistration becomes effective.
