Pursuant to Rule 13d-2 promulgated under the Act, this Schedule 13D/A (this Amendment No. 5) amends and supplements the Original 13D Filings. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 5 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Original 13D Filings. All capitalized terms used herein which are not defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Original 13D Filings.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with respect to Securities of the Issuer.
Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D Filings is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following as a new paragraph immediately after the fifth paragraph thereof:
On March 31, 2021, Ruby Holdings and Dealer entered into a letter agreement (March 31 Confirmation) for a prepaid variable share forward transaction (March 31 PVSF Transaction) on up to 3,530,349 ADSs (the March 31 Maximum Number of ADSs). Pursuant to the March 31 Confirmation, Dealer agreed to introduce into the public market the March 31 Maximum Number of ADSs deliverable upon final settlement of the March 31 PVSF Transaction in compliance with the manner-of-sale conditions described in Rule 144, and establish its initial hedge position for the March 31 PVSF Transaction in accordance with the Rule 144 interpretative letters, each dated December 20, 1999 and November 30, 2011. Following March 31, 2021, and pursuant to the March 31 Confirmation, Ruby Holdings received an upfront cash prepayment from Dealer.
The March 31 Confirmation and the March 31 PVSF Transaction are designed and intended to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Act. Any amendment, modification, waiver or termination of the March 31 Confirmation must be effected in accordance with the requirements for the amendment or termination of a plan as defined in Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Act.
The March 31 PVSF Transaction is divided into components (each a March 31 Component) where the amount payable or deliverable by Ruby Holdings will be determined on the scheduled valuation date for each March 31 Component (each, a March 31 Valuation Date). Following each March 31 Valuation Date, Ruby Holdings will be obligated to pay or deliver to Dealer a certain amount on the settlement date (the March 31 Settlement Date) for each March 31 Component. On the final March 31 Settlement Date, Ruby Holdings will deliver up to March 31 Maximum Number of ADSs (or, at Ruby Holdings sole election, an equivalent amount of cash) based on the average market price of the ADSs determined over each March 31 Valuation Date as described below. The number of the ADSs (or the cash equivalent) to be delivered (or paid) to Dealer on each March 31 Settlement Date shall be determined as follows: (a) if the volume-weighted average price per ADS on each Valuation date, as determined by Dealer by reference to the Bloomberg Page QFIN US <equity> AQR <Go> (or any successor page thereto) (the March 31 Settlement Price) is equal to or less than 95% of the volume weighted price at which Dealer establishes its initial hedge position (the March 31 Forward Floor Price), Ruby Holdings will deliver to Dealer the March 31 Maximum Number of ADSs (or pay the cash equivalent); (b) if the March 31 Settlement Price is between the March 31 Forward Floor Price and 129% of the volume weighted price at which Dealer establishes its initial hedge position (the March 31 Forward Cap Price), Ruby Holdings will deliver to Dealer a number of ADSs equal to the March 31 Maximum Number of ADSs multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the March 31 Forward Floor Price and the denominator of which is the March 31 Settlement Price (or pay the cash equivalent); and (c) if the March 31 Settlement Price is greater than the March 31 Forward Cap Price, Ruby Holdings will deliver to Dealer a number of ADSs equal to the product of (i) the March 31 Maximum Number of ADSs and (ii) a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (x) the March 31 Forward Floor Price and (y) the March 31 Settlement Price minus the March 31 Forward Cap Price, and (B) the denominator of which is the March 31 Settlement Price (or pay the cash equivalent).
In order to secure Ruby Holdings obligations to Dealer under the March 31 PVSF Transaction, Ruby Holdings and Dealer entered into a security agreement dated as of March 31, 2021 with respect to the ADSs (the March 31 Security Agreement). Under the March 31 Security Agreement, Ruby Holdings pledged the March 31 Maximum Number of ADSs deliverable under the March 31 PVSF Transaction to Dealer, credited to a securities account to be held and maintained by an affiliate of Dealer (acting as custodian for Dealer) and subject to Dealers control until the final March 31 Settlement Date for the March 31 PVSF Transaction.
