Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 is hereby amended to include the following information:
Termination Agreement
On October 3, 2016, the Investor entered into an Amended and Restated Investment and Strategic Cooperation Agreement (the Investment Agreement) with the Company and Janus Capital Group, Inc. On February 4, 2021, the Company and the Investor entered into a Termination and Amendment Agreement (the Termination Agreement), which terminated the Investment Agreement and amended certain surviving provisions of the Investment Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement, certain rights and obligations of the parties, including certain standstill provisions, share transfer restrictions, confidentiality obligations and registration rights, survive the termination of the Investment Agreement. Certain of such surviving provisions with respect to the share transfer restrictions were amended by the Termination Agreement to increase the limit on the number of Company Ordinary Shares that the Investor may sell on a single day from 10% to 20% of the average daily trading volume of the Company Ordinary Shares during a period of thirty trading days immediately preceding the date of such sale (but such limit would not apply to sales in connection with an underwritten public offering). All of the other rights and obligations of the parties under the Investment Agreement were terminated in accordance with the Termination Agreement as of February 4, 2021.
The foregoing summary of the Termination Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Termination Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1 to this Statement and is incorporated herein by reference.
Resignation of Director
In connection with the termination of the Investment Agreement, Tatsusaburo Yamamoto, a director of the Company designated by the Investor in accordance with the Investment Agreement, voluntarily resigned from the Companys board of directors and all board committees of which he was a member, effective as of February 4, 2021.
Strategic Cooperation Agreement
Although the parties have agreed to the termination of the Investment Agreement, the Company and the Investor have entered into a new Strategic Cooperation Agreement (the New Agreement) which includes many provisions similar to those in the Investment Agreement, absent the capital commitment, and reflects the evolution of the companies strategic relationship.
Pursuant to the New Agreement, the Investor will cooperate with the Company in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any sales by the Investor of Company Ordinary Shares owned by the Investor be conducted in an orderly manner. The Investor will also consider in good faith to maintain investments of at least US$2.0 billion (with such amount determined without giving effect to changes in market value or investment performance) in the Companys investment products for three years. The parties will continue to cooperate on the development of new investment products, and cooperate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to distribute each others investment products through their respective distribution channels.
In addition, the Company and the Investor have agreed to expand their existing program to exchange expertise and human resources to include a senior executive from the Investor to help lead the Companys efforts in Japan. The companies will also continue to collaborate on new product development and distribution.
Investment in Company Ordinary Shares
On February 4, 2021, the Company filed an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to an underwritten registered public offering of all of the Company Ordinary Shares owned by the Investor. If the offering transaction is not completed or the Investor is not able to sell all of its Company Ordinary Shares in the offering, then the Investor currently intends to decrease its investment in the Company over a period of time. The timing and method for reducing the Investors investment in the Company will be determined based on subsequent developments affecting the Company, the business prospects of the Company, general stock market and economic conditions, tax considerations and other factors deemed relevant. Except as set forth in this Statement, the Investor has no plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Investor may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider its position and/or change its purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.
Item 5. Interest in the Securities of the Issuer
Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
(a) Rows (7) through (11) and (13) of the cover pages to this Statement are hereby incorporated by reference. For purposes of calculating the percentages set forth in this Item 5, the number of shares outstanding is assumed to be 180,403,176 shares outstanding as of February 3, 2021. For the purpose of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, the Investor beneficially owns 30,668,922 Company Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 17.0% of the outstanding Company Ordinary Shares.
(b) The Investor has the sole power to vote or direct the vote and to dispose or direct the disposition of all 30,668,922 Company Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by it.
(c) Neither the Investor nor, to its knowledge, any of its directors or executive officers has engaged in any transaction in Company Ordinary Shares in the past 60 days.
(d) No other person is known by the Investor to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, any shares of the Companys securities beneficially owned by the Investor.
(e) Not applicable.
