Introduction

This Amendment No. 4 to Rule 13E-3 transaction statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with the exhibits hereto (this “Transaction Statement”), is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), jointly by the following persons (each, a “Filing Person,” and collectively, the “Filing Persons”): (a) Acorn International, Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), the issuer of the ordinary shares, par value US$0.01 per share (each, a “Share” and, collectively, the “Shares”), including the Shares represented by American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each representing 20 Shares, that is subject to the transaction pursuant to Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act; (b) First Ostia Port Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Parent”); (c) Second Actium Coin Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”); (d) Robert W. Roche, our co-founder and Executive Chairman (“Mr. Roche”); (e) Mr. Roche’s wife, Ritsuko Hattori-Roche (“Ms. Hattori-Roche”); (f) Catalonia Holdings, LLC (“Catalonia”); and (g) Bireme Limited (“Bireme”, together with Parent, Merger Sub, Mr. Roche, Ms. Hattori-Roche and Catalonia, collectively, the “Buyer Group”).

On October 12, 2020, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”) and cease to exist, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”). Each of Parent and Merger Sub was formed solely for the purpose of the Merger. If the Merger is completed, Parent will be beneficially owned by the Buyer Group (other than Merger Sub) at the Effective Time.

As of December 20, 2020, Parent is the Company’s largest shareholder and owns in the aggregate 38,967,937 Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs), which represent approximately 75.8% of the total issued and outstanding Shares of the Company.

If the Merger is completed, the Company, as the Surviving Corporation, will continue its operations under the name “Acorn International, Inc.” as a privately held company directly owned by Parent and beneficially owned by the Buyer Group (other than Merger Sub), and, as a result of the Merger, the Company’s ADSs will no longer be listed on the New York Stock Exchange and the ADS program for the Shares will terminate.

If the Merger is completed, at the Effective Time, each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange for the right to receive US$1.05 per Share (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”), and each ADS issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, will represent the right to receive US$21.00 per ADS (the “Per ADS Merger Consideration”) (less any applicable ADS Depositary fees (US$0.05 per ADS cash distribution fee) payable pursuant to the terms of the deposit agreement dated as of May 2, 2007, as amended by Amendment No.1 to Deposit Agreement, dated as of November 30, 2015, among the Company, Citibank, N.A., and the holders and beneficial owners of ADSs issued thereunder), in each case in cash, without interest, and net of any applicable withholding taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Merger is completed, the following Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs) will be cancelled and cease to exist but will not be converted into the right to receive the consideration described in the immediately preceding sentence:

(a)     Shares beneficially owned immediately prior to the Effective Time by any of Parent, Merger Sub or any other direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, or Parent, and in each case not held on behalf of third parties;

(b)    Shares owned by shareholders who have validly exercised and have not effectively withdrawn or lost their appraisal rights pursuant to Section 238 of the Cayman Islands Companies Law, Cap. 22 (Law 3 of 1961, as consolidated and revised); and

(c)     an aggregate of 2,797,644 Shares owned by our Lead Director, Pierre Cohade, our Chief Executive Officer, Jacob A. Fisch, and Harry Hill, will be exchanged for non-convertible promissory notes bearing interest at the rate of 6% per annum, and having face value equal to the merger consideration which these shareholders would otherwise have been entitled to receive in the form of cash, such notes being payable by Parent and having a term of six months, renewable for an additional six-month term at the election of Parent.

The Merger remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including obtaining the requisite approval of the shareholders of the Company. The Merger Agreement, the plan of

merger required to be filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands in connection with the Merger (the “Plan of Merger”) and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Plan of Merger, including the Merger (collectively, the “Transactions”), must be authorized and approved by a special resolution representing an affirmative vote of shareholders holding two-thirds or more of the votes represented by the Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs) present and voting in person or by proxy as a single class at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company’s shareholders held in accordance with its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

The Company will make available to its shareholders a proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement,” a preliminary copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1) to this Transaction Statement), relating to the extraordinary general meeting of the Company’s shareholders, at which the Company’s shareholders will consider and vote upon, among other proposals, a proposal to authorize and approve the execution, delivery and performance of the Merger Agreement and the Plan of Merger and the consummation of the Transactions, including the Merger.
