ITEM 4. | PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION |
Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the following:
Consortium Agreement
On February 9, 2021, NFPH, Carnival, Mr. Kam Chung Leung, Ms. Roberta Lipson, Max Rising, Mr. Carl Wu, Mr. Ying Zeng, Vivo LLC, NF SPAC, Sun Hing, Shimao, Aspex Fund, Hysan and LY (collectively, the “Buyer Consortium”) entered into a consortium agreement (the “Consortium Agreement”). Pursuant to the Consortium Agreement, on February 9, 2021, the Buyer Consortium submitted a preliminary, non-binding proposal (the “Proposal”) to the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) to acquire all outstanding Ordinary Shares, which would result in the Issuer becoming a private, wholly owned subsidiary of such entities (the “Merger”). The terms of the Proposal state that in connection with the Merger, each outstanding Ordinary Share (other than those owned by members of the Buyer Consortium which will be rolled over for the purpose of funding the Merger), will be converted into the right to receive a purchase price of US$12.00 per Ordinary Share. The Proposal is subject to negotiation with the Board, and there can be no guarantee that the Merger will be completed in accordance with the terms of the Proposal or at all.
Pursuant to the Consortium Agreement, NFPH and the other parties thereto have agreed that for a period ending on the earlier of (i) the termination of the Consortium Agreement pursuant to its terms and (ii) the date that is twenty-four (24) months after the date of the Consortium Agreement, each party shall (a) work exclusively with the other parties to the Consortium Agreement to effect the Merger and shall not, either directly or through any affiliate, make, solicit, encourage or facilitate a competing acquisition proposal or acquire the beneficial ownership of any additional Ordinary Shares, except in connection with the equity incentive awards granted by the Issuer or exercise of any warrants already held by such party, (b) irrevocably agree to vote any Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by such party, or which may be beneficially owned by such party in the future, in favor of the Merger and any related transactions, (c) not transfer any Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by such party, or which may be beneficially owned by such party in the future, to any person other than any affiliate of such party who is bound by the Consortium Agreement, and (d) roll over all of the Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by such party, or which may be beneficially owned by such party in the future, to fund the Merger.
The foregoing description of the Consortium Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the text of such agreements, which is attached as an exhibit hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
General
The Reporting Persons acquired the securities described in this Schedule 13D for investment purposes and intend to review their investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Any actions the Reporting Persons might undertake may be made at any time and from time to time without prior notice and will be dependent upon the Reporting Persons’ review of numerous factors, including, but not limited to: an ongoing evaluation of the Issuer’s business, financial condition, operations and prospects; price levels of the Issuer’s securities; general market, industry and economic conditions; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; and other future developments.
Subject to the terms of the Consortium Agreement, the Reporting Persons may acquire additional securities of the Issuer, or retain or sell all or a portion of the securities then held, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. In connection with the Proposal, the Reporting Persons may engage in discussions with management, the Board of Directors, and securityholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties or encourage, cause or seek to cause the Issuer or such persons to consider or explore extraordinary corporate transactions, including the Merger, changes to the capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; or other material changes to the Issuer’s business or corporate structure, including changes in management or the composition of the board of directors of the Issuer. There can be no assurance, however, that any proposed transaction would receive the requisite approvals from the respective governing bodies and shareholders, as applicable, or that any such transaction would be successfully implemented.
22
Other than as described above, the Reporting Persons do not currently have any plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)—(j) of Schedule 13D, although, depending on the factors discussed herein, the Reporting Persons may change their purpose or formulate different plans or proposals with respect thereto at any time.
ITEM 5. | INTEREST OF SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. |
(a) and (b) The information contained on the cover pages to this Amendment No. 2 is incorporated herein by reference.
Group Interest
As a result of the execution of the Consortium Agreement, each Reporting Person may be deemed to be members of a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act comprising NFPH, Carnival, Mr. Kam Chung Leung, Ms. Roberta Lipson, Max Rising, Mr. Carl Wu, Mr. Ying Zeng, Vivo LLC, Nan Fung, Shimao, Aspex, Hysan and LY. As a result, the group may be deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership of all the Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by each member of the “group”. As such, the group may be deemed to beneficially own in the aggregate 86,179,456 Ordinary Shares, which represents approximately 57.6% of the total outstanding Ordinary Shares. Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents, however, shall be deemed to constitute an admission by the Reporting Persons that any of them is the beneficial owner of any of the Ordinary Shares beneficially owned in the aggregate by other members of the “group” and their respective affiliates for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.
(c) Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons have not engaged in any transaction during the past 60 days involving ordinary shares of the Issuer.
(d) None.
(e) Not applicable.
Item 6. | CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER |
Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented by inserting the following:
Item 4 above summarizes certain provisions of the Consortium Agreement and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of this agreement is attached as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D, and each is incorporated herein by reference.
Except as set forth herein, none of the Reporting Persons or Related Persons has any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) with any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships concerning the transfer or voting of such securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or losses, or the giving or withholding of proxies.

PROPOSAL; HOLDCO OWNERSHIP
Section 2.1 Participation in Transaction.
(a) The Parties agree to participate in the Transaction on the terms set forth in this Agreement. The Parties shall cooperate and proceed in good faith to (A) undertake due diligence with respect to the Company and its business; (B) engage in discussions with the Company regarding the Proposal; and (C) negotiate in good faith the terms of definitive documentation in connection with the Transaction (collectively, the “Definitive Documents”).
(b) In order to facilitate the foregoing, each Party hereby authorizes and delegates to the Sponsor and the Joint Advisors the primary responsibility for negotiating with the Company (including the Special Committee) with respect to the Transaction, provided that the Sponsor shall act in good faith in discharging the foregoing responsibility by providing each other Party with a reasonable opportunity to review and provide input on the Definitive Documents and considering any such input in good faith.
Section 2.2 Proposal. On or about the date hereof, the Parties shall submit the Proposal to the Board.
Section 2.3 Holdco Ownership and Arrangements.
(a) Prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Sponsor shall incorporate Holdco and, depending on the agreed structure, shall cause Holdco to incorporate Merger Sub, and any other intermediate holding companies, in each case, under the laws of such jurisdiction(s) and as otherwise may be agreed by all of the Parties.
(b) Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, each Party’s ownership percentage of the Company on a look-through basis immediately following the Transaction (the “Contemplated Ownership Percentage” of such Party) shall be calculated based on the proportion that (i) the amount of cash paid, and the deemed value of the Covered Shares (based on the per share cash consideration offered under the Merger Agreement to shareholders of the Company that are not Affiliated with any member of the Buyer Consortium and, if applicable, the value of the relevant Company Warrant implied by such per share cash consideration) contributed, by such Party to Holdco, bears to (ii) the aggregate value contributed or deemed contributed by all Parties to Holdco (whether in the form of cash, Covered Shares or other consideration), in each case, as contemplated by the Definitive Documents, provided, however, that prior to the execution of the Definitive Documents, the Contemplated Ownership Percentage of each Party shall be as set forth opposite such Party’s name under the heading “Fee Sharing Percentage” in Schedule B (as may be updated from time to time by the Sponsor in accordance with Section 2.4), and that the Contemplated Ownership Percentage of any Party as calculated in this Section 2.3(b), unless otherwise agreed by such Party and the Sponsor, shall be capped at the percentage as set forth opposite such Party’s name under the heading “Fee Sharing Percentage” in Schedule B (as may be updated from time to time by the Sponsor in accordance with Section 2.4). Subject to Section 5.5, the obligation of the Parties to make cash or in-kind contributions to Holdco or purchase and pay for any Holdco equity securities shall be subject to (i) the execution and delivery of the Definitive Documents, and (ii) the satisfaction or waiver of the various conditions to the obligations of Holdco to be set forth in the Definitive Documents. For purposes of this Agreement, any references to any cash or in-kind contributions to Holdco or purchase of, or payment for, any Holdco equity securities by any Party shall be deemed to include contributions or purchase by such Party either directly as a shareholder of Holdco or indirectly through a shareholder of Holdco, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Party is obligated under this Agreement to contribute any cash to Holdco without the prior written consent of such Party (and any amount so consented to may not be subsequently changed except with the prior written consent of such Party).
10 |
Section 2.4 Admission of New Consortium Members. The Sponsor may decide at its sole discretion to admit one or more additional investor(s) to the Buyer Consortium as additional party(ies); provided that, each Initial Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to contribute additional cash to the Holdco on the same terms and conditions as applicable to such additional investor(s) such that its Contemplated Ownership Percentage is not reduced as a result of the admission of such additional investor(s). Any additional party admitted to the Buyer Consortium pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall execute an adherence agreement to this Agreement in the form attached hereto as Schedule C (the “Deed of Adherence”), and upon its execution of the Deed of Adherence and acceptance of such Deed of Adherence by the Sponsor, such additional party shall become an “Additional Party” for purposes of this Agreement, and the Sponsor shall be entitled to update Schedule B based on the information contained in such Deed of Adherence (including by reducing the “Fee Sharing Percentage” of the other Parties set forth in Schedule B on a proportional basis as may be necessary to give effect to the “Fee Sharing Percentage” for such Additional Party) and deliver a copy of the updated Schedule B to each Party, whereupon the Schedule B so updated shall become binding on each Party. Each Party (other than the Sponsor) hereby authorizes and appoints the Sponsor to enter into such Deed of Adherence on its behalf.

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.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties hereby consent to and agree that in addition to any recourse to arbitration as set out in Section 10.8(b), any Party may, to the extent permitted under the rules and procedures of the HKIAC, seek an interim injunction or other form of relief from the HKIAC as provided for in its Rules. Such application shall also be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of Hong Kong.
Section 10.9 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that the obligations imposed on them in this Agreement are special, unique and of an extraordinary character and irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly each Party to this Agreement (a) shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the forum described in Section 10.8, without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity, and (b) hereby waives any requirement for the posting of any bond or similar collateral in connection therewith. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that (i) any other Party has an adequate remedy at law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.
Section 10.10 Limitation on Liability. The obligation of each Party under this Agreement is several (and not joint or joint and several).
