INTRODUCTION

 

This Amendment No. 2 to the 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) Fuling Global Inc., an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), the issuer of the ordinary shares, par value US $0.001 per share (each, a “Share” and collectively, the “Shares”); (b) Fuling ParentCo Inc., an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Parent”), (c) Fuling MergerCo Inc., an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), (d) Ms. Guilan Jiang (“Ms. Jiang”), founder, chairwoman of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) and chief operating officer of the Company, and Silver Trillion Investments Limited (“Silver Trillion” or the “Founder Entity”), a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and controlled by Ms. Jiang; (e) Ms. Sujuan Zhu, a director of the Company and an extended family member of Ms. Jiang, and Celestial Sun Holdings Limited, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and controlled by Ms. Sujuan Zhu; (f) Mr. Qian (Eugene) Hu, a family member of Ms. Jiang, and Zheng Hui Investments Limited, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and controlled by Mr. Qian (Eugene) Hu; (g) Mr. Xinzhong Wang, an extended family member of Ms. Jiang, and Charm Grow Holdings Limited, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and controlled by Mr. Xinzhong Wang; (h) Mr. Jinxue Jiang, an extended family member of Ms. Jiang, and Tengyu International Limited, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and controlled by Mr. Jinxue Jiang ((d) to (h) together, the “Rollover Shareholders” and Ms. Jiang, Ms. Sujuan Zhu, Mr. Qian (Eugene) Hu, Mr. Xinzhong Wang and Mr. Jinxue Jiang, collectively, the “Founder Family Members”); and (i) Mr. Qijun Huang (“Mr. Huang” or the “Sponsor’), an individual financial investor, and Harvest Wind Investment Limited (“Harvest Wind” or the “Sponsor Entity”), a corporation incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China and controlled by Mr. Qijun Huang (together with the Rollover Shareholders, the “Buyer Group”).

 

On September 1, 2020, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company after the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”).

 

Prior to or substantially concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, the Founder Family Members have executed and delivered a support agreement with Parent (the “Support Agreement”), providing that, amongst other things and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Founder Family Members will (a) vote all of certain 11,083,334 Shares beneficially owned by them (the “Rollover Shares”), in favor of the authorization and approval of the Merger Agreement, the plan of merger required to be registered 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 (collectively, the “Transactions”), including the Merger, and (b) restrict the transfer of all the Rollover Shares owned by him or her, as appropriate, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Support Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each of the Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive US$2.35 in cash, without interest, except for (a) 11,083,334 Rollover Shares held by the Rollover Shareholders, which will be cancelled and cease to exist without payment of consideration, (b) Shares held by Parent, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries, which will be cancelled and cease to exist without payment of any consideration or distribution therefor, and (c) Shares held by registered shareholders who have validly exercised and have not effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to dissent from the Merger pursuant to Section 238 of the Companies Law, Cap. 22 (Law 3 of 1961, as consolidated and revised) of the Cayman Islands (the “CICL”) (the “Dissenting Shares”), which will be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange for the right to receive the payment of fair value of the Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 238 of the CICL.

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.

Pursuant to the Support Agreement, the Founder Family Members have agreed to vote all of the Rollover Shares beneficially owned by them, which represent approximately 70.1% of the total number of votes represented by the Company’s issued and outstanding Shares, in favor of the Merger Agreement, the Plan of Merger and the Transactions, including the Merger.

 

The Company will make available to its shareholders a proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement,” a 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 Merger Agreement, the Plan of Merger and the consummation of the Transactions, including the Merger.
