This Final Amendment amends and supplements the Rule 13e-3 transaction statement on Schedule 13E-3 filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Exchange Act by the Filing Persons on May 28, 2026.

 

This Transaction Statement relates to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 4, 2025, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 29, 2026, by and among Parent, Merger Sub and the Company (as may be further amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company after the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”).

Item 15 Additional Information

 

Item 15(c) is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

On June 19, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. (Beijing Time), an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the Company was held at Unit 1301, Tower 1, China Central Place, No. 81 Jianguo Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, People’s Republic of China. At the extraordinary general meeting, the shareholders of the Company authorized and approved the Merger Agreement, the Plan of Merger required to be registered with the Cayman Registrar in connection with the Merger, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger.

 

On June 24, 2026, the Company and Merger Sub filed the Plan of Merger with the Cayman Registrar, which was registered by the Cayman Registrar as of June 24, 2026, pursuant to which the Merger became effective on June 24, 2026 (the “Effective Time”). As a result of the Merger, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

 

At the Effective Time, (i) each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Excluded Shares and the Dissenting Shares) was cancelled and ceased to exist in exchange for the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration in cash, and (ii) each Excluded Share was cancelled and ceased to exist without payment of any consideration or distribution therefor.

 

From and after the Effective Time, each Company Warrant was, by virtue of the Merger, treated in the manner as set forth in the Warrant Agreement.

 

1

 

 

Pursuant to Section 4.5 of the Warrant Agreement, in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the issued and outstanding Shares), the holders of the Company Warrants shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Company Warrants and in lieu of the Shares immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares or stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such merger or consolidation, that the holder of the Company Warrants would have received if such holder had exercised his, her or its Company Warrant(s) immediately prior to such event. Accordingly, as a result of the Merger and immediately after the Effective Time, the holder(s) of each of the Company Warrants that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time have the right to receive US$0.0066 (being one-tenth of the Per Share Merger Consideration as one Company Warrant is exercisable for one-tenth of a Share) per Company Warrant in cash, upon the exercise of such Company Warrant by paying US$11.5, the exercise price per Company Warrant, to the Surviving Company.

 

Section 4.5 of the Warrant Agreement further provides that, if less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of the Shares in such a transaction is payable in the form of shares in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the Company Warrant properly exercises the Company Warrant within thirty days following public disclosure of the consummation of such applicable event by the Company, the warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the Warrant Agreement based on the Black-Scholes value (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) of the Company Warrant.

 

In addition to the foregoing, at the Effective Time, the Company terminated the Share Incentive Plans and all award agreements entered into thereunder in respect of each Company Option and each Company RSU granted under the Share Incentive Plans.

 

At the Effective Time, each Company Option granted under the 2020 Plan that was not vested and was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was fully vested as of the Effective Time. Each of the Company Options granted under the 2020 Plan that were fully vested and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and the unvested Company Options that became fully vested as of the Effective Time pursuant to the preceding sentence was cancelled as of the Effective Time and immediately converted into the right to receive in exchange therefor an amount of cash equal to (i) the excess, if any, of (A) the Per Share Merger Consideration over (B) the exercise price of such Company Option, multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares underlying such Company Option, which amount will be paid as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time by the Surviving Company pursuant to the ordinary payroll practices; provided, that if the exercise price of any such vested Company Option was equal to or greater than the Per Share Merger Consideration, such vested Company Option was cancelled without any payment therefor.

 

Each Company RSU granted under the 2020 Plan that was not vested and was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was fully vested immediately prior to the Effective Time. Each of the Company RSUs granted under the 2020 Plan that were fully vested and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and the unvested Company RSUs that became fully vested as of the Effective Time pursuant to the preceding sentence was cancelled as of the Effective Time and immediately converted into the right to receive in exchange therefor an amount of cash equal to (i) the Per Share Merger Consideration, multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares subject to such Company RSU, which amount will be paid as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time by the Surviving Company pursuant to the ordinary payroll practices.

 

At the Effective Time, except as otherwise agreed to in writing between a holder of a Company Option and Parent, each Company Option under the 2024 Plan, whether vested or unvested, was assumed by Parent as an option to purchase the Parent Shares under an equity incentive plan to be established by Parent, exercisable into a number of Parent Shares equal to the product of (i) the number of Shares subject to the corresponding Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, rounding such product down to the nearest whole number of Parent Shares, with an exercise price per share subject to the assumed option equal to the exercise price for which the corresponding Company Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio, and rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Except as provided above, each assumed option continues to have, and is subject to, the same terms and conditions as the corresponding Company Option set forth in the 2024 Plan and the applicable award agreement as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time.

 

2

 

 

At the Effective Time, except as otherwise agreed to in writing between a holder of a Company RSU and Parent, each Company RSU under the 2024 Plan, whether vested or unvested, was assumed by Parent as a restricted stock unit award with respect to a number of Parent Shares equal to the product of (i) the number of Shares subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, rounding such product down to the nearest whole number of Parent Shares. Except as provided above, each assumed restricted stock unit award continues to have, and is subject to, the same terms and conditions as the corresponding Company RSU set forth in the 2024 Plan and the applicable award agreement as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time.

   

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) was notified about the Merger prior to its effectiveness, and is expected to remove the Company’s trading symbols on or after the date hereof, and as a result the Shares and the Company Warrants will be ceased to be quoted on the OTC Pink tier of the OTC Markets. The Company intends to suspend its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act by filing a certification and notice on Form 15 with the SEC. The Company’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act will be suspended immediately as of the filing date of the Form 15 and will terminate once the deregistration becomes effective.
