(together, "Oceanpine Capital"), and Crystal Peak Investment Inc. to acquire all of the outstanding ordinary shares, par value US$0.0002 per share, of the Company (the "Ordinary Shares") that are not currently owned by the Consortium in an all-cash transaction for US$0.86 per Ordinary Share, which remains unchanged from the original proposal (the "Proposed Transaction").
This Revised Proposal Letter revises the preliminary non-binding proposal letter dated August 18, 2025, previously received from Oceanpine Capital. A copy of the Revised Proposal Letter is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
According to the Revised Proposal Letter, the members of the Consortium, who currently beneficially own in aggregate approximately 52.1% of the Company's issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares, have entered into a consortium agreement and have agreed to vote all of their shares in favor of the Proposed Transaction. They also do not intend to sell their shares to any third party or support any competing bid while remaining members of the Consortium.
The Company today also announced that the Board has formed a special committee consisting of its three independent directors, Adam Zhao, Thomas Xue and Chunyang Shao, to evaluate and consider the Revised Proposal Letter and the Proposed Transaction. Mr. Adam Zhao will chair the special committee.
The Company cautions its shareholders and others considering trading in its securities that the Board has just received the Revised Proposal Letter and has not made any decisions with respect to the Company's response to the proposal. There can be no assurance that any definitive offer will be made, that any agreement will be executed, or that the Proposed Transaction or any other transaction will be approved or consummated. The Company does not undertake any obligation to provide any updates with respect to this or any other transaction, except as required under applicable law.
