(“Xinhuan”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Shanghai TCH shall purchase the Acquired Interests for RMB 320 million ($46.72 million) (the “Purchase Price”), which shall be paid as follows: (i) in cash RMB 60 million ($8.76 million); (ii) in the form of 2.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock using a value of $1.90 per share; and (iii) in the form of 17,376,950 shares of the Company’s preferred stock using a value of $1.90 per share. The preferred shares shall have no voting rights but shall have preferential dividend rights to participate in and receive a 15% premium on a per share basis for any dividends declared and paid by the Company on its common stock. The holder of the preferred shares shall have the right to convert the preferred shares into shares of the Company’s common stock on a 1:1 basis after the six month anniversary of the issuance of the preferred shares, but the Holder may only exercise such conversion right to the extent that, after giving effect to the issuance of common stock after such conversion, the Holder would beneficially own less than 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. The payment of the Purchase Price in the form of the 2.6 million shares of common stock and 17,376,950 shares of the Company’s preferred stock (the “Share Payment”) is contingent on the Company receiving shareholder approval at a special shareholders meeting for the Share Payment, and to create the new class of preferred shares and increase the number of authorized shares of common stock.
