CUSIP No. 81663 N206

SCHEDULE 13D

 

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

The Item 3 is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:

 

On February 12, 2015, China IC Fund and SMIC entered into a share purchase agreement (the “2015 SPA”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement, SMIC agreed to issue to China IC Fund, and China IC Fund agreed to subscribe from SMIC, 4,700,000,000 shares of Common Stock of SMIC at the purchase price of HK$ 0.6593 per share, totaling HK$3,098,710,000. This transaction was closed on June 8, 2015 and whereby China IC Fund, via HKCo, acquired the said shares, representing approximately 11.6% of the issued share capital of SMIC.

 

On October 14, 2015, China IC Fund and Country Hill Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Investment Corporation, entered into a share purchase agreement (the “CIC SPA”), pursuant to which, Country Hill Limited agreed to sell, and China IC Fund agreed to purchase, 2,700,000,000 shares of Common Stock at the purchase price of HKD 0.75 per share, totaling HK$2,025,000,000.  This transaction was closed on December 28, 2015.  Upon closing of the transaction, China IC Fund, via HKCo, held an aggregate of 7,400,000,000 shares of Common Stock, representing 17.7% of the issued share capital of SMIC.

 

Both of the subscription of the 4,700,000,000 shares from SMIC and the purchase of 2,700,000,000 shares from Country Hill Limited were funded by China IC Fund’s own working capital.

 

In December 2016, as a result of the Issuer’s consolidation of every 10 shares of its Common Stock into one share of Common Stock, the number of shares held by HKCo was changed from 7,400,000,000 to 740,000,000.

 

Following the subscription under the 2015 SPA and the purchase of shares under the CIC SPA, the Issuer’s total issued and outstanding Common Stock increased as a result of the exercising of certain stock options and conversion of certain convertible bonds into Common Stock, which caused the percentage of shares held by HKCo to become 15.9% as of April 27, 2017.

 

On December 6, 2017, pursuant to a placing agreement, dated November 29, 2017, entered into by and among the Issuer, J.P. Morgan Securities plc and Deutsche Bank AG, Hong Kong Branch, as joint placing agents, the Issuer issued 241,418,625 ordinary shares to certain third party investors, representing approximately 4.92% of the issued share capital of the Issuer as enlarged by the issue, at the price of HK$10.65 per share.  On December 14, 2017, pursuant to a perpetual subordinated convertible securities subscription agreement, dated November 29, 2017, entered into by and among the Issuer and Barclays Bank PLC, Deutsche Bank AG, Hong Kong Branch and J.P. Morgan Securities Plc, as joint managers, the Issuer issued perpetual subordinated convertible securities (“PSCS”) to certain third party investors in the aggregate principal amount of US$65 million.  As a result, the shareholding of the Reporting Persons in the Issuer was diluted from approximately 15.9% to approximately 15.0%.

 

On April 23 2018, pursuant to the pre-emptive right under the 2015 SPA, China IC Fund, HKCo and the Issuer entered into a share subscription agreement (the “2018 SPA”) and a PSCS subscription agreement (“PSCS Subscription Agreement”).  Pursuant to the 2018 SPA, the Issuer conditionally agreed to issue, and China IC Fund, through HKCo, conditionally agreed to subscribe for, 57,054,901 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, representing approximately 1.16% of the total issued share capital of the Issuer as at the date of 2018 SPA, for a cash consideration of HK$10.65 per share, totaling HK$607,634,695.65.  Pursuant to the PSCS Subscription Agreement, the Issuer conditionally agreed to issue, and China IC Fund, through HKCo, conditionally agreed to subscribe for, the PSCS in an aggregate principal amount of US$300 million for a total cash consideration of US$300 million (“China IC Fund PSCS”). The China IC Fund PSCS are convertible into 183,178,403 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, representing approximately 3.58% of the issued share capital of the Issuer as enlarged by and assuming full conversion of the China IC Fund PSCS. The conversion price is HK$12.78 per share, subject to adjustment. The 2018 SPA and the PSCS Subscription Agreement were closed on August 29, 2018. The purchase prices under the 2018 SPA and the PSCS Subscription Agreement were paid out of the working capital of HKCo.
