Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

On November 27, 2020, Zhili Wang, Debao Wang, Guoan Xu, Qingmao Zhang, Long Lin, Jishan Sun and their respective affiliated entities (collectively, the “Consortium”) jointly submitted a preliminary, non-binding letter (the “Proposal”, incorporated herewith as Exhibit 99.2) to the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) related to the proposed acquisition of all of the Common Shares not beneficially owned by the Consortium for US$5.37 in cash per Common Share (the “Proposed Transaction”).

The Proposal is subject to a number of conditions, including, among other things, the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements and other related agreements mutually acceptable in form and substance to the Issuer and the Consortium. Neither the Issuer nor any member of the Consortium is obligated to complete the Proposed Transaction, and a binding commitment with respect to the Proposed Transaction will result only from the execution of definitive documents, and then will be on the terms provided in such documentation.

On November 27, 2020, the Consortium entered into a consortium agreement (the “Consortium Agreement”, incorporated herewith as Exhibit 99.3). Pursuant to the Consortium Agreement, each member of the Consortium will cooperate and participate in (a) the evaluation of the Issuer, including conducting due diligence of the Issuer and its business, (b) discussions regarding the Proposal with the Issuer, and (c) the negotiation of the terms of definitive documentation in connection with the Proposed Transaction.

Except as indicated above, the Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) The responses of each Reporting Person set forth in Rows 11 through 13 of the cover pages hereto are hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 5. The percentage of Common Shares pursuant to Item 1 beneficially owned by each Reporting Person is based on 18,329,600 Common Shares outstanding as of May 28, 2020 as set forth in the Annual Report.

The Reporting Persons and members of the Consortium that are not Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a “group” for purposes of Section 13d-5(b) of the Act by virtue of their actions in respect of the Proposed Transaction described herein. As a member of a “group”, each Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own the Common Shares beneficially owned by the members of the “group” as a whole. Therefore, each Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 7,969,496 outstanding Common Shares, which represent approximately 43.48% of the total outstanding Common Shares.

Except as otherwise stated herein, each Reporting Person expressly disclaims any beneficial ownership of the Common Shares held by each other Reporting Person or by any member of the Consortium that is not a Reporting Person.

(b) The number of Common Shares as to which each of the Reporting Persons has sole or shared power to vote, direct the vote, dispose or direct the disposition are as set forth in Rows 7 through 10 of the cover pages hereof. The information set forth in Item 2 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5(b).
