This Amendment No. 12 amends the statement on Schedule 13D relating to the ordinary shares, par value $0.00005 per share (“Shares”) of Ku6 Media Co., Ltd. (the “Company”), including Shares represented by American Depositary Shares of the Company , each representing 100 Shares (“ADSs”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 21, 2009, as amended by Amendments No. 1 to No. 11 thereto (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”). Except as specifically amended by this Amendment, the Schedule 13D remains in full force and effect. All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:

 

Item 4 of this Amendment is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:

 

Pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of April 5, 2016 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Shanda Investment Holdings Limited (“Parent”) and Ku6 Acquisition Company Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving company and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each ordinary share of the Company (each, a “Share”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (including Shares represented by ADSs) will be cancelled in consideration for the right to receive US$0.0108 per Share or US$1.08 per ADS, in each case, in cash, without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes, except for (i) the Shares (including ADSs corresponding to such Shares) beneficially owned by Parent, any Shares held by the Company or any of its subsidiaries and any Shares (including ADSs corresponding to such Shares) held by the depositary and reserved for issuance and allocation pursuant to the Company’s equity compensation plans, in each case, immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, each of which will be cancelled without payment of any consideration or distribution therefor, (ii) restricted Shares (including restricted Shares represented by ADSs) issued by the Company under the Company’s equity compensation plans, each of which will be cancelled at the effective time of the Merger and thereafter represent only the right to receive the issuance of restricted shares in the surviving company in accordance with the Merger Agreement, and (iii) Shares owned by holders who have validly exercised and not effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to dissent from the Merger pursuant to Section 238 of the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands, which Shares will be cancelled at the effective time of the Merger for the right to receive the fair value of such Shares determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 238 of the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands. The information disclosed in this paragraph is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.5, and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

 

The Reporting Persons anticipate that approximately US$16,000,000 is expected to be expended to complete the Merger. This amount includes (a) the estimated funds required by Parent to (i) purchase the outstanding ordinary shares (including ordinary shares represented by ADSs) of the Company at a purchase price of US$0.0108 per ordinary share or US$1.08 per ADS, and (ii) settle the outstanding options to purchase ordinary shares under the Company’s equity compensation plans, and (b) the estimated transaction costs associated with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Transactions”).

 

The Parent intends to fund the Transactions through cash at hand.

 

The Merger, which is currently expected to close in the second half of 2016, is subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval by 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, which will be convened to consider the approval of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Merger. Parent beneficially owns sufficient Shares to approve the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Merger, and intends to vote in favor of such approval. If completed, the Transactions will result in the Company becoming a privately-held company and, if applicable, the ADSs will no longer be listed on the NASDAQ Global Market.
