Sec Form 13D Filing - CyberLink International Technology Corp. filing for - 2026-03-20

The Reporting Persons anticipate that, at a price of US$1.95 per ordinary share in cash set forth in the Proposal (as defined below), an aggregate amount of approximately US$92.6 million will be expended in acquiring all of the outstanding ordinary shares of the Issuer, other than the ordinary shares owned by the Consortium Members (as defined below). This amount excludes (a) the estimated funds required to pay for the outstanding warrants and options to purchase the ordinary shares; and (b) the estimated transaction costs associated with the Transaction (as defined below). It is anticipated that the Transaction (as defined below) will be financed by equity capital from the Consortium Members in the form of rollover equity in the Issuer and available unrestricted cash from the Issuer. Debt financing may also be arranged to the extent necessary or desirable at the sole discretion of the Consortium Members (as defined below). The information set forth in or incorporated by reference in Items 4 of this statement is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

On March 18, 2026, Ms. Alice H. Chang ("Ms. Chang"), and her controlled affiliates GOLDEN EDGE CO., LTD., DVDonet.com. Inc. and World Speed Company Limited (collectively, the "Chairwoman Parties"), CyberLink International Technology Corp. ("CyberLink International", together with the Chairwoman Parties, the " Consortium Members") entered into a consortium agreement (the "Consortium Agreement"), pursuant to which the Consortium Members agreed to cooperate in good faith to undertake an acquisition transaction with respect to the Issuer (the "Transaction"). The Consortium Agreement provides, among other things, that: (i) the Consortium Members shall work jointly to engage joint advisors to the consortium, negotiate and determine the terms of the Transaction, determine the financing structure of the Transaction, negotiate and determine the terms of the debt financing to the extent it is required for the Transaction, and admit new consortium members; and (ii) the Consortium Members shall use reasonable best efforts and jointly cooperate in good faith in securing the debt financing to the extent it is required for the Transaction, obtaining applicable approvals, licenses, waivers or exemptions for the consummation of the Transactions, and preparing and negotiating definitive documentation and other related documentation with respect to the Transaction. During the period beginning on the date of the Consortium Agreement and ending on the earlier of (x) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Consortium Agreement and (y) the termination of the Consortium Agreement upon the occurrence of certain termination events as set forth therein, the Consortium Members have agreed to work exclusively with respect to the Transaction and not to, among other things, (i) make or facilitate a competing proposal for the acquisition of control of the Issuer or (ii) acquire or dispose of any securities of the Issuer. In connection with the execution of the Consortium Agreement, on March 18, 2026, the Consortium Members submitted a preliminary non-binding proposal (the "Proposal") to the Issuer's board of directors in connection with the Transaction. Under the Proposal, the Consortium Members proposed to acquire, through an acquisition company to be formed by them, all of the outstanding ordinary shares of the Issuer not owned by the Consortium Members for US$1.95 per ordinary share in cash, representing a premium of 44.4% to the closing price of the Issuer's Class A ordinary shares on March 17, 2026 and a premium of 35.4% and 23.4% to the volume-weighted average closing price during the last 30 and 60 trading days, respectively. The Consortium Members intend to finance the Transaction by equity capital from the Consortium Members in the form of rollover equity in the Issuer and available unrestricted cash from the Issuer. The Proposal also provides that, among other things, the Consortium Members will negotiate and execute definitive agreements with respect to the Transaction that will include provisions typical, customary and appropriate for transactions of this type. If the Transaction is completed, the Issuer's Class A ordinary shares would be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange, and the Issuer's obligation to file periodic reports under the Act would terminate. In addition, consummation of the Transaction may result in one or more of the actions specified in clauses (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, including the acquisition or disposition of securities of the Issuer, a merger or other extraordinary transaction involving the Issuer, a change to the board of directors of the Issuer (as the surviving company in the merger), and a change in the Issuer's memorandum and articles of association to reflect that the Issuer would become a privately held company. Other than as described in this Item 4, none of the Reporting Persons currently has any plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D. No assurance can be given that any proposal, any definitive agreement or any transaction relating to the Transaction will be entered into or consummated. The Proposal provides that a binding commitment with respect to the Transaction will result only from the execution of definitive agreements and then will be on terms and conditions provided in such documentation. The information disclosed in this Item 4 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Consortium Agreement and the Proposal, each of which is attached as an exhibit hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
