Introduction
This Amendment No. 3 (this “ Amendment No. 3 ”) to the Rule 13e-3 transaction statement on Schedule 13E-3 amends and supplements the Rule 13e-3 transaction statement on Schedule 13E-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) on October 23, 2018 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on November 16, 2018 and by Amendment No. 2 filed with the SEC on December 18, 2018, this “ Statement ”) and is being filed jointly by the following persons (each, a “ Filing Person ,” and collectively, the “ Filing Persons ”):
· | Hanwha Q CELLS Co., Ltd., an exempted company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“ Hanwha Q CELLS ” or the “ Company ”), which is the subject party and issuer of the ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “ Ordinary Shares ”), and the American Depositary Shares (“ ADSs ”), each representing fifty Ordinary Shares, that is the subject of the Rule 13e-3 transaction described in the Statement. |
· | Hanwha Solar Holdings Co., Ltd., an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability (“ Hanwha Solar ” or “ Parent ”), which, immediately prior to the Effective Date (as defined below), owns approximately 93.9% of the Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs). |
· | Hanwha Chemical Corporation, a corporation with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Korea (“ Hanwha Chemical ”), which owns 100% of Hanwha Solar. |
· | Hanwha Corporation, a corporation with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Korea, which holds approximately 36.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of Hanwha Chemical and may therefore be deemed to be, immediately prior to the Effective Date, the beneficial owner of the Ordinary Shares (including the Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) held by Hanwha Solar. |
· | Mr. Seung-Youn Kim, a representative director and executive officer of Hanwha Chemical and Hanwha Corporation, who holds approximately 18.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of Hanwha Corporation and may therefore be deemed to be, immediately prior to the Effective Date, the beneficial owner of the Ordinary Shares (including the Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) held by Hanwha Solar. |
This Amendment No. 3 and the Statement relate to a “short-form” merger between Parent and the Company pursuant to section 233(7) of the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands, as amended (the “ Companies Law ”), as a result of which the ADSs representing the Ordinary Shares will be delisted from the Nasdaq, the registration of the ADSs will be terminated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), and the Company will no longer be subject to reporting and other disclosure requirements of the Exchange Act, including requirements to file annual and other periodic reports or to provide the type of disclosure contained in this Statement.

Explanatory Note : Hanwha Solar Holdings Co., Ltd. (“ Hanwha Solar ”) has recently discovered that 100,000 American Depositary Shares (“ ADSs ”) representing 5,000,000 ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “ Ordinary Shares ”) of Hanwha Q CELLS Co., Ltd. (the “ Company ”) that the Rule 13e-3 transaction statement on Schedule 13E-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) on October 23, 2018 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on November 16, 2018 and by Amendment No. 2 filed with the SEC on December 18, 2018 , this “ Statement ”) previously stated were owned by Hanwha Solar as of December 18, 2018 were voluntarily cancelled as of December 11, 2018, without the underlying 5,000,000 Ordinary Shares having been transferred back to the account of Hanwha Solar in the form of Ordinary Shares. Immediately prior to the Effective Date (as defined below), such Ordinary Shares were transferred back to the account of Hanwha Solar in the form of Ordinary Shares, resulting in Hanwha Solar, consistent with what was previously stated in the Statement, being the beneficial owner of a total of 3,908,989,723 Ordinary Shares representing approximately 93.9% of the total outstanding Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the Effective Date.
On January 16, 2019, the Company and Parent filed the Plan of Merger with the Cayman Registrar, pursuant to which the Merger became effective on January 16, 2019 (the " Effective Date ") with the Company merging with and into Parent and Parent continuing as the Surviving Company as a wholly owned subsidiary of Hanwha Chemical.
Pursuant to the Plan of Merger, as of the Effective Date, each of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares and ADSs, other than the Excluded Shares (and any ADS that represents the Excluded Shares), has been cancelled in exchange for the right to receive $0.198 per Ordinary Share in cash without interest (provided that the aggregate amount of cash that each holder of such Ordinary Shares is entitled to receive for all Ordinary Shares held by such holder has been aggregated and rounded to the nearest cent (with $0.005 being rounded upward)), and because each ADS represents fifty Ordinary Shares, each outstanding ADS (other than any ADS that represents the Excluded Shares) represents the right to receive $9.90 per ADS in cash without interest (less $0.05 per ADS cancellation fees, and, if applicable, a depositary service fee (DSF) of $0.02 per ADS, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the Deposit Agreement governing the ADSs and net of any applicable withholding taxes). Each Excluded Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date has been cancelled and ceases to exist without payment of any consideration or distribution in respect thereof.
