Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

Escrow Shares

 

The Escrow Shares are being held in an escrow account maintained by a mutually agreed escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”). While the Escrow Shares are held in escrow, any dividends and other distributions otherwise payable with respect to the Escrow Shares will be held back by the Issuer and not paid until the Escrow Shares are released from escrow to the Sellers, but the Sellers will be entitled to vote the Escrow Shares. The Exchange Shares, including the Escrow Shares, were allocated among the Sellers pro-rata based on each Seller’s ownership of Sunlong prior to the Business Combination. The Reporting Persons, assuming no indemnification claim is successfully brought under the Share Exchange Agreement against the Issuer, are entitled to 473,518 Escrow Shares, which are included in the calculation of the 4,735,178 Common Stock that the Reporting Persons beneficially own.

 

In the event the Issuer does not meet certain adjusted net income targets in either 2016, 2017 and 2018, then the Reporting Persons will not be entitled to receive the applicable year’s Escrow Shares and will forfeit any right to such Escrow Shares with respect to such earn out year. Earn out targets and provisions governing the receipt of Escrow Shares is governed by the Share Exchange Agreement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K on September 1, 2017.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

Upon closing of the Business Combination, Issuer entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Reporting Persons and other Sellers and the Purchaser Representative (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Sellers hold registration rights that obligate us to register for resale under the Securities Act, all or any portion of the Exchange Shares (as defined in the Share Exchange Agreement) so long as such shares are not then restricted under the Lock-Up Agreement. Sellers holding a majority-in-interest of all Exchange Shares then issued and outstanding will be entitled to make a written demand for registration under the Securities Act of all or part of the their Exchange Shares (up to a maximum of three demands in total), so long as such shares are not then restricted under the Lock-Up Agreement (defined below). Subject to certain exceptions, if any time after the closing of the Business Combination, Issuer proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to its securities, under the Registration Rights Agreement, Issuer shall give notice to the Sellers as to the proposed filing and offer the Sellers holding Exchange Shares an opportunity to register the sale of such number of Exchange Shares as requested by the Sellers in writing. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, Sellers holding Exchange Shares will be entitled under the Registration Rights Agreement to request in writing that Issuer register the resale of any or all of such Exchange Shares on Form S-3 and any similar short-form registration that may be available at such time.

 

Lock-Up Agreement

 

Upon closing of the Business Combination, each Seller, including the Reporting Persons, entered into a Lock-Up Agreement with Issuer and the Purchaser Representative ( “Lock-Up Agreement”), with respect to their Exchange Shares received in the Business Combination. In such Lock-Up Agreement, each Seller agrees that such Seller will not, from the closing of the Business Combination until the first anniversary of the closing (or if earlier, the date on which Issuer consummates a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction with an unaffiliated third party that results in all of Issuer’s shareholders having the right to exchange either equity holdings in us for cash, securities or other property), (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to any of its Exchange Shares, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any of its Exchange Shares, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii). Each Seller further agrees that the Escrow Shares as defined in the Share Exchange Agreement will continue to be subject to such transfer restrictions until they are released from the escrow account. However, each Seller will be allowed to transfer any of its Exchange Shares (other than the Escrow Shares while they are held in the escrow account) by gift, will or intestate succession upon death of the Seller, pursuant to a court order or settlement agreement in connection with a divorce, or to any affiliate, to any immediately family members, trusts for the benefit of the Seller or its immediately family members, if the Seller is a trust, to the trustor or trust beneficiary, or as a liquidating distribution to limited partners or other equity holders, provided in each such case that the transferee thereof agrees to be bound by the restrictions set forth in the Lock-up Agreement.

Under the Non-Competition Agreements, for a period from the closing of the Business Combination to two years thereafter (or if later, the date on which the Seller, its affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors or employees are no longer directors, officers, managers or employees of Sunlong or its subsidiaries (the “Termination Date”)), each Seller and its affiliates will not, without Issuer’s prior written consent, anywhere in the PRC or any other markets in which, as of the closing, the Covered Parties are engaged or actively contemplating to become engaged in the Business (as defined below) as of the closing or during the restricted period, directly or indirectly engage in (or own, manage, finance or control, or become engaged or serve as an officer, director, employee, member, partner, agent, consultant, advisor or representative of, an entity that engages in) the business of (i) industrial solid waste recycling and comprehensive utilization, production, sales and leasing of environmental protection equipment whose main function is the separation and utilization of low grade/refractory mineral resources, development, transfer, consultation and services of environmental protection technology, and sells steel products, furnace refractory, fire resistant materials, construction materials, decorative materials and ore products, (ii) exchange services for wine and business consulting services, or (iii) multi-commodity exchange to offer on-shore commodity spot exchange services and off-shore commodity future exchange services (collectively, the “Business”).
