Each of the Reporting Persons is engaged in acquiring, holding and disposing of interests in various companies for investment purposes.

 

The majority shareholder of GASF is GAS Interholdco. The members of GAS Interholdco that share beneficial ownership of the ADSs held of record by GASF are the GA Funds. The general partner of GAP Bermuda III and GAP Bermuda IV is GenPar Bermuda, and the general partner of GenPar Bermuda is GAP (Bermuda) L.P., which is controlled by the Management Committee of GAP MGP LLC (the “Management Committee”).

There are eleven members of the Management Committee as of the date hereof. Each of the members of the Management Committee disclaims ownership of the ADSs except to the extent he or she has a pecuniary interest therein. The information required by General Instruction C to Schedule 13D is attached hereto as Schedule A and is hereby incorporated by reference. The present principal occupation or employment of each of the members of the Management Committee is as a managing director of GA LP. The present principal occupation or employment of each of the directors of GASF and GAS Interholdco is set forth on Schedule A.

 

(d)-(e) None of the Reporting Persons and none of the individuals listed on Schedule A have, during the last five years, been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

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

 

Item 3 is amended by adding the following:

 

This Statement is not being made as a result of any particular acquisition or disposition of ADSs by the Reporting Persons. The description of the Proposal and the Proposed Transaction (each as defined below) under Item 4 are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 is hereby amended and replaced with the following:

 

The Reporting Persons acquired the ADSs reported herein for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons expect that they will, from time to time, review their investment position in the ADSs or the Company and may, depending on the Company’s performance and other market conditions, increase or decrease their investment position in the ADSs or the Class A Ordinary Shares. The Reporting Persons have discussed the possibility of attaining representation on the board of directors of the Company with the Company's management; however, no decisions with respect to such discussion have been made as of the date of this Statement. The Reporting Persons may, from time to time, and subject to the agreement disclosed in this Item 4 and Item 6 below, make additional purchases of ADSs or Class A Ordinary Shares either in the open market or in privately-negotiated transactions, depending upon the Reporting Persons’ evaluation of the Company’s business, prospects and financial condition, the market for the ADSs or the Class A Ordinary Shares, other opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, general economic conditions, stock market conditions and other factors. Depending upon the factors noted above, the Reporting Persons may also decide, subject to the agreement disclosed in this Item 4 and Item 6 below, to hold or dispose of all or part of their investments in the ADSs or Class A Ordinary Shares and/or enter into derivative transactions with institutional counterparties with respect to the Company’s securities, including the ADSs or Class A Ordinary Shares.

 

 

CUSIP No. 30711Y300

SCHEDULE 13D

Page 15 of 18

 

On September 20, 2023, GASF was contacted by Mr. Jiangong Dai (the “Proposing Buyer”), who on September 4, 2023 delivered a preliminary non-binding proposal letter to the Company (the “Proposal”) expressing his interest in acquiring all of the outstanding ordinary shares of the Company, including Class A Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs, for US$0.619 in cash per Class A Ordinary Share or Class B Ordinary Shares, or US$6.19 in cash per ADS (in each case other than those ADSs and ordinary shares already beneficially owned by the Proposing Buyer) (the “Proposed Transaction”) regarding GASF’s potential participation in the Proposed Transaction. On September 23, 2023, GASF communicated to the Proposing Buyer its current intention to join the buyer consortium for the Proposed Transaction but the participation in the consortium will depend on the results of the negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement regarding the Proposed Transaction with the Company and other consortium members. Neither the Company, the Proposing Buyer nor GASF 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.

 

If the Proposed Transaction is completed, the Company’s ADSs will cease to trade in the over-the-counter market and the Company’s obligation to file periodic reports under the Exchange Act will terminate. In addition, the consummation of the Proposed Transaction could result in one or more of the actions specified in Item 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D, including the acquisition or disposition of securities of the Company, a merger or other extraordinary transaction involving the Company, a change to the board of directors of the Company (as the surviving company in the merger), and a change in the Company’s memorandum and articles of association to reflect that the Company would become a privately held company.

 

Except as set forth in this Item 4 or Item 6 below, the Reporting Persons have no present plans or proposals that relate to, or that would result in, any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D of the Exchange Act.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 5 is hereby amended and replaced with the following:

 

(a) The percentages used herein are calculated based upon 66,020,439 Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of December 16, 2021, as reported in the Company’s Form of Proxy For Annual General Meeting, filed as Exhibit 99.3 to the Form 6-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on December 16, 2021.

 

As of the date hereof, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own 1,110,644 ADSs representing 11,106,440 underlying Class A Ordinary Shares, or approximately 16.8% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares.

 

By virtue of the fact that (i) GAS Interholdco owns a majority of GASF’s voting shares, (ii) the GA Funds contributed the capital to GAS Interholdco to fund GASF’s purchases of the ADSs and may direct GAS Interholdco with respect to its shares of GASF, (iii) GAP (Bermuda) LP is the general partner of GenPar Bermuda and GenPar Bermuda is the general partner of GAP Bermuda III and GAP Bermuda IV, (iv) GA LP is the managing member of GAPCO III, GAPCO IV and GAPCO V and is the general partner of GAPCO CDA and (v) the members of the GA Management Committee control the investment decisions of GAP (Bermuda) LP and GA LP, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have the power to vote and direct the disposition of the ADSs owned of record

 

CUSIP No. 30711Y300

SCHEDULE 13D

by GASF. As a result, as of the date hereof, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 1,110,644 ADSs, representing 11,106,440 Class A Ordinary Shares, calculated on the basis of the number of Class A Ordinary Shares that may be acquired by the Reporting Persons within 60 days, or approximately 16.8% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares.

 

(b) Each of the Reporting Persons has the shared power to vote or direct the vote and the shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of the 11,106,440 Class A Ordinary Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by each of them.

 

(c) To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons with respect to the persons named in response to Item 5(a), none of the persons named in response to Item 5(a) has effected any transactions in the Class A Ordinary Shares during the past 60 days.

 

(d) No person other than the persons listed is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, any securities owned by any member of the group.

 

(e) Not applicable.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to the Issuer.

 

Item 6 is hereby amended and supplemented with the following:

 

The information disclosed under Item 4 above is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 6.

 

The Reporting Persons entered into a Joint Filing Agreement on September 25, 2023 (the “Joint Filing Agreement”), pursuant to which they have agreed to file this Statement jointly in accordance with the provisions of Rule 13d-1(k)(1) under the Exchange Act. A copy of the Joint Filing Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

 

Except as described above or elsewhere in this Statement or incorporated by reference in this Statement, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between the Reporting Persons or, to the best of their knowledge, any of the persons named in Schedule A hereto and any other person with respect to any securities of the Company, including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or losses, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
