pursuant to the previously announced agreement and plan of merger,
dated as of August 4, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), among the
Company, Unicorn II Holdings Limited (“HoldCo”), Unicorn II Parent
Limited (“Parent”) and Merger Sub. As a result of the Merger, the
Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent and will cease
to be a publicly traded company.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, which was
approved by the Company’s shareholders at an extraordinary general
meeting held on January 7, 2022, each ordinary share of the Company
(each, a “Share”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) has been
cancelled and ceased to exist in exchange for the right to receive
US$12.00 per Share in cash without interest, except for (i) Shares
held by HoldCo, Parent, Merger Sub, the Company (as treasury
shares) or any of their direct or indirect subsidiaries, which have
been cancelled and ceased to exist without payment of any
consideration or distribution, (ii) certain Shares held by the
Rollover Securityholders (as defined in the Merger Agreement),
which have been cancelled and ceased to exist in exchange for the
right of each such holder or its designated entities to receive a
corresponding amount of equity securities of HoldCo, and (iii)
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effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to dissent from the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 Act of the Cayman
Islands (the “Companies Act”), which have been cancelled and ceased
to exist in exchange for the right to receive only the payment of
fair value of such dissenting Shares determined in accordance with
Section 238 of the Companies Act.
In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and
the warrant agreement dated as of June 27, 2018 between the Company
and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as amended by
the amendment No. 1 to warrant agreement dated as of January 6,
2022 (the “Warrant Amendment”), each of the Public Warrants,
Private Placement Warrants and Forward Purchase Warrants (each as
defined in the Merger Agreement and collectively, the “Warrants”)
that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Time (other than the Warrants held by New Frontier Public Holding
Ltd. (“NFPH”)) has been cancelled and ceased to exist in exchange
for the right to receive US$2.70 per Warrant in cash without
interest. In addition, in respect of each Warrant (other than the
Warrants held by NFPH) for which the holder thereof had timely
provided consent to the Warrant Amendment and had not revoked such
consent prior to the deadline established by the Company for the
warrantholders to submit consents, the holder of such Warrant has
the right to receive, for each such Warrant, a consent fee of
US$0.30 in cash without interest.
Each record holder of Shares or Warrants as of immediately prior
to the Effective Time who is entitled to the merger consideration
will receive a letter of transmittal specifying how the delivery of
the merger consideration will be effected and instructions for
surrendering their Shares or Warrants in exchange for the merger
consideration. Record holders of Shares or Warrants should wait to
receive the letters of transmittal before surrendering their Shares
or Warrants. A holder of Shares or Warrants held in “street name”
by a broker, bank or other nominee should receive instructions from
its broker, bank or other nominee as to how to receive the
applicable merger consideration and should address any questions in
relation thereto to its broker, bank or other nominee.
The Company also announced today that it has requested that
trading of its Shares and Warrants on the New York Stock Exchange
(“NYSE”) be suspended as of the close of trading on January 26,
2022 (New York time). The Company has requested that NYSE file a
Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)
notifying the SEC of the delisting of the Shares and Warrants on
NYSE and the deregistration of the Company’s registered securities.
The deregistration will become effective 90 days after the filing
of the Form 25 or such shorter period as may be determined by the
SEC. The Company intends to suspend its reporting obligations under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by filing a Form
15 with the SEC in approximately ten days following the filing of
the Form 25. The Company’s obligations to file with the SEC certain
reports and forms, including Form 20-F and Form 6-K, will be
suspended immediately as of the filing date of the Form 15 and will
terminate once the deregistration becomes effective.
