Item 1.01 Entry into a Material
Definitive Agreement.
On
January 22, 2010, China Yida Holding, Co. (the “Company”) entered
into a placement agency agreement (the “Agency Agreement”)
with Newbridge Securities Corporation (the “Placement Agent”),
pursuant to which the Placement Agent agreed to use its reasonable best efforts
to arrange for the sale of up to 2,517,521 shares of the Company’s common
stock, par value $0.001 per share, in a “registered direct” offering (the “Registered Direct
Offering”) at a purchase price of $11.50 per share (the
“Shares”). The Company has agreed to pay the Placement Agent an
aggregate fee equal to 6%, including a corporate financing fee equal to 1%, of
the gross proceeds received in the offering. The Company has also agreed to
reimburse the Placement Agent for expenses incurred by it in connection with the
offering, with a maximum expense reimbursement of $150,000.
The
Agency Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by
the Company. It also provides for customary indemnification by each of the
Company and the Placement Agent for losses or damages arising out of or in
connection with the sale of the securities being offered. The Company has agreed
to indemnify the Placement Agent against liabilities under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended. The Company has also agreed to contribute to payments the
Placement Agent may be required to make in respect of such
liabilities.
Also on
January 22, 2010, the Company and certain investors entered into subscription
agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) in connection with the Registered
Direct Offering, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell the Shares to such
investors for aggregate gross proceeds, before deducting fees to the Placement
Agent and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, of
approximately up to $29 million.
The
Shares were offered and sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated January
22, 2010 and an accompanying base prospectus dated January 20, 2010, pursuant to
the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration
No. 333-163687). The Registered Direct Offering is scheduled to close
on January 27, 2010, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing
conditions.
After
giving effect to the Registered Direct Offering, the Company will have
19,579,585 shares of common stock outstanding.
The
foregoing summaries of the terms of the Agency Agreement and the Subscription
Agreements are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, such documents
attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, which are incorporated
herein by reference. The opinion of our counsel, Anslow & Jaclin,
LLP, relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the shares of common
stock is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
A shelf
registration statement, as amended, relating to these securities was previously
filed and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC No.
333-163687). A prospectus supplement related to the offering will be filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any offer will be made only by
means of a prospectus, including a prospectus supplement, forming a part of the
effective registration statement. A copy of the prospectus supplement
and the accompanying base prospectus can be obtained at the Securities and
Exchange Commission's website http://www.sec.gov or from Newbridge Securities
Corporation at 1451 West Cypress Creek Road, Fort. Lauderdale, Florida
33309.
Item 8.01 Other
Events.
On
January 22, 2010, the Company issued a press release announcing the pricing of
the Registered Direct Offering. A copy of the press release is attached as
Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
Neither
the filing of the press release as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K
nor the inclusion in the press release of a reference to our internet address
