This amendment No. 5 (this “Amendment No. 5”) is filed jointly by XD. Engineering Plastics Company Limited (“XD. Engineering”) and Mr. Jie Han (“Mr. Han”, together with XD. Engineering, the “Reporting Persons”, and each a “Reporting Person”), with respect to China XD Plastics Company Limited (the “Company” or “Issuer”).

This Amendment No. 5 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D (as amended, “the Schedule 13D”), as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 4 filed on December 12, 2019 by the Reporting Persons. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 5 shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Schedule 13D. Except as amended or supplemented by this Amendment No. 5, all other information in the Schedule 13D is as set forth therein.

Item 3.    Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The responses to Item 3 contained in the Schedule 13D are incorporated herein by this reference.

The descriptions of the principal terms of the Proposal (as defined below) under Item 4 are incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

Item 4.    Purpose of Transaction

The responses to Item 4 contained in the Schedule 13D are incorporated herein by this reference.

On February 16, 2017, Mr. Han, XD. Engineering and MSPEA Modified Plastics Holding Limited, an affiliate of Morgan Stanley Private Equity Asia III, Inc. (“MSPEA”) formed a consortium (the “Consortium”) by entering into a consortium agreement (the “Consortium Agreement”), pursuant to which the Consortium agreed to cooperate in good faith to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of the Company other than those shares beneficially owned by the members of the Consortium or their affiliates, through a going-private transaction.

On February 16, 2017, the Consortium submitted a preliminary, non-binding letter (the “Initial Proposal”) to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). In the Initial Proposal, the Consortium proposed to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company not already owned by the Consortium at US$5.21 per share in cash. The Consortium also stated in the Initial Proposal that it is interested only in the proposed transaction, and that it does not intend to sell its shares in the Company to any other party. In the Initial Proposal, members of the Consortium also stated that they expected that the Board will appoint a special committee of independent directors to consider the Initial Proposal and make a recommendation to the Board.

Pursuant to its terms, the Consortium Agreement terminated on August 16, 2017. However, the members of the Consortium treated the Initial Proposal as remaining outstanding.

On October 14, 2019, MSPEA sent a letter (the “Proposal Withdrawal Letter”) to the Board informing the Board that it no longer intended to participate in the Consortium and no longer intended to participate in the proposed transaction. Concurrently with sending the Proposal Withdrawal Letter, MSPEA sent a letter (the “Consortium Withdrawal Letter”) to the Reporting Persons informing them that it no longer intended to participate in the Consortium and no longer intended to participate in the proposed transaction.

References to the Consortium Agreement and the Initial Proposal in this Schedule 13D are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Consortium Agreement and the Initial Proposal which were attached as Exhibit 7.01 and Exhibit 7.02 to Amendment No. 3 filed on February 17, 2017 and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

On May 8, 2020, the Reporting Persons submitted a non-binding proposal (the “Proposal”) to the Board related to a proposed acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock not beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons for cash consideration equal to US$1.1 per share (the “Proposed Transaction”).

 

 

 

The Proposed Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including, among other things, the negotiation and execution of definitive documents and other related agreements mutually acceptable in form and substance to the Company and the Reporting Persons. Neither the Company nor any member of the Reporting Persons 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. The Reporting Persons intends to finance the Proposed Transaction with a combination of debt and equity capital. Equity financing is expected to be provided by the Reporting Persons in the form of cash and rollover equity in the Company and through available cash at the Company. Debt financing is expected to be provided by loans from third party financial institutions, if required.

If the Proposed Transaction is consummated, the Company’s Common Stock would become eligible for termination of registration under the Securities Act and would be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market.

References to the Proposal in this Amendment No. 5 are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Proposal, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 7.01, and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

The Reporting Persons reserve their right to change their plans and intentions in connection with any of the actions discussed in this Item 4.

The foregoing summary of certain provisions of the Proposal is not intended to be complete.   Except as indicated above, or as would occur upon completion of any of the matters discussed herein, 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 6.    Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

The responses to Item 6 contained in the Schedule 13D are incorporated herein by this reference.

The descriptions of the principal terms of the Proposal under Item 4 are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
