INTRODUCTION
This Schedule 13D/A (the Schedule 13D/A) amends the previous Schedule 13D filed by Perfect World Co., Ltd. (the Reporting Person) with the SEC on April 24, 2014 (the Original 13D) with respect to Shanda Games Limited (the Issuer). Except as amended and supplemented herein, the information set forth in the Original 13D remains unchanged. Capitalized terms used herein without definition have meanings assigned thereto in the Original 13D.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION:
Item 4 is hereby amended and restated as follows:
On January 27, 2014, Shanda Interactive Entertainment Limited (Shanda Interactive) and Primavera Capital (Cayman) Fund I L.P. (the Primavera, together with Shanda Interactive, the Consortium and each member in the Consortium, a Consortium Member) entered into a consortium agreement (the Consortium Agreement). Under the Consortium Agreement, the Consortium Members agreed, among other things, (i) to jointly deliver a preliminary non-binding proposal (the Proposal) to the board of directors of the Issuer (the Board) to acquire the Issuer in a going private transaction (the Transaction), (ii) to deal exclusively with each other with respect to the Transaction until the earlier of (x) 9 months after the date thereof, and (y) termination of the Consortium Agreement by all Consortium Members, (iii) to use their reasonable efforts and cooperate in good faith to arrange debt financing to support the Transaction, and (iv) to cooperate and proceed in good faith to negotiate and consummate the Transaction.
On January 27, 2014, the Consortium Members submitted the Proposal to the Board. In the Proposal, the Consortium Members proposed to acquire the Issuer in a going private transaction at a price of US$6.90 in cash per ADS (each representing two Class A Ordinary Shares) or US$3.45 in cash per Class A or Class B Ordinary Share. According to the Proposal, the Consortium Members do not intend to sell their stake in the Issuer to any third party. SDG, a British Virgin Islands corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Shanda Interactive, may consider selling additional shares of the Issuer to the Consortium. The Consortium Members intend to finance the Transaction through a combination of debt and equity financing. For a brief description of the financing plan, please refer to Item 3.
On January 27, 2014, SDG and Primavera entered into a share purchase agreement (the Share Purchase Agreement), pursuant to which SDG sold, and Primavera purchased, 28,959,276 Class A Ordinary Shares at US$2.7625 per Class A Ordinary Share.
On April 18, 2014, SDG and the Reporting Person entered into the PW Share Purchase Agreement pursuant to which SDG agreed to sell, and the Reporting Person agreed to purchase, 30,326,005 Class A Ordinary Shares (the PW Purchase Shares) at US$3.2975 per Class A Ordinary Share (the PW Purchase Price) subject to the terms and conditions thereof. Pursuant to the PW Share Purchase Agreement, if (i) a going-private transaction occurs within one year of the closing date of the sale of PW Purchase Shares where the Reporting Person is part of the buyer consortium and the price per share in the going-private transaction (the Going-private Price) is higher than the PW Purchase Price, or (ii) a going-private transaction occurs within one year of the closing date of the sale of PW Purchase Shares where the Reporting Person is not part of the buyer consortium solely due to its own decision or election without SDGs written consent and the Going-private Price is higher than the PW Purchase Price, the Reporting Person shall pay SDG the shortfall between the PW Purchase Price and the Going-private Price with respect to all PW Purchase Shares. Pursuant to the PW Share Purchase Agreement, if a going-private transaction is not consummated within one year of the closing date of the sale of PW Purchase Shares solely due to SDGs failure to vote in favor of such going-private transaction, SDG shall pay to the Reporting Person an amount equal to the PW Purchase Price in exchange for the PW Purchase Shares. The PW Share Purchase Agreement is subject to certain customary closing conditions. The satisfaction of all closing conditions and the
closing is expected to occur in thirty calendar days after the date of the PW Share Purchase Agreement.
Concurrently with the execution of the PW Share Purchase Agreement, Shanda Interactive, Primavera and the Reporting Person entered into an adherence agreement (the PW Adherence Agreement), pursuant to which the Reporting Person became a party to the Consortium Agreement and joined the Consortium. References to Consortium or Consortium Members after April 18, 2014 shall include the Reporting Person.
On April 25, 2014, FV Investment Holdings (FV Investment), which is an affiliate of FountainVest Partners, Shanda Interactive, Primavera and Perfect World entered into an adherence agreement (the FV Adherence Agreement), pursuant to which FV Investment became a party to the Consortium Agreement and joined the Consortium. References to Consortium or Consortium Members after April 25, 2014 shall include FV Investment.
If the Transaction is completed, the ADSs would be delisted from the NASDAQ Global Select Market and the Issuers obligations to file periodic report under the Act would be terminated.
Descriptions of the Proposal, the Consortium Agreement, the Share Purchase Agreement, the PW Share Purchase Agreement, the PW Adherence Agreement and the FV Adherence Agreement in this Statement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Proposal, the Consortium Agreement, the Share Purchase Agreement, the PW Share Purchase Agreement, the PW Adherence Agreement and the FV Adherence Agreement, which are filed hereto as Exhibits 7.01, 7.02, 7.03, 7.04, 7.05 and 7.06, and incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
In addition, consummation of the Transaction could result in one or more of the actions specified in clauses (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D/A, including the acquisition or disposition of securities of the Issuer, a merger or other extraordinary transaction involving the Issuer, a change to the Board (as the board of the surviving company in the merger) to consist solely of persons to be designated by the Consortium Members, and a change in the Issuers memorandum and articles of association to reflect that the Issuer would become a privately held company. No assurance can be given that any proposal, any definitive agreement or any transaction relating to the Transaction will be entered into or be consummated. The Proposal provides that no binding obligation shall arise with respect to the Transaction unless and until definitive agreements have been executed.
ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER:
Item 6 is hereby amended and restated as follows:
The descriptions of the principal terms of the Proposal, the Consortium Agreement, the Share Purchase Agreement, the PW Share Purchase Agreement, the PW Adherence Agreement and the FV Adherence Agreement under Item 4 are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
