Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

As previously disclosed, on January 29, 2010, China Medicine Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), issued 4,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), at $3.00 per share, and 1,920,000 shares of its Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Preferred Stock”), at $30.00 per share to OEP CHME, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“OEP”), in exchange for gross proceeds to the Company of $69,600,000, pursuant to a Stock Subscription Agreement (as amended, the “Subscription Agreement”), by and among the Company, OEP and Senshan Yang, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, dated December 31, 2009. Concurrently with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement, $57,600,000 of the gross proceeds was deposited into an escrow account with JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. The escrow funds were subsequently allocated among escrow accounts in Hong Kong and Guangzhou, China.

 

On September 7, 2012 the Company received a redemption notice (“Redemption Notice”) from OEP notifying the Company that OEP has requested that the Hong Kong branch of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., the Company’s Hong Kong based escrow agent (the “Hong Kong Escrow Agent”), distribute to OEP RMB240,607,814.14 (US$37,764,913) (the “Redemption Amount”), which was held in escrow as of the date of the Redemption Notice pursuant to the Subscription Agreement and an escrow agreement, by and among the Company, OEP, and the Hong Kong Escrow Agent, dated May 16, 2011 (the “Hong Kong Escrow Agreement”). The Redemption Notice states that upon receipt of the Redemption Amount by OEP from the Hong Kong Escrow Agent, OEP shall surrender to the Company an aggregate of 1,130,744 shares of Preferred Stock for redemption. Pursuant to the Hong Kong Escrow Agreement and Section 4 of the Company's Certificate of Designation, Rights and Preferences for the Preferred Stock which was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on January 26, 2010 (the “Certificate of Designation”) a certificate authorizing the disbursement of all the funds held by the Hong Kong Escrow Agent as of the date of the Redemption Notice was transmitted by OEP to the Hong Kong Escrow Agent on September 7, 2012, the same day the Company received the Redemption Notice. Following the completion of the redemption, OEP shall own 42.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on a fully-diluted basis.

 

The redemption is taking place pursuant to Section 4 of the Certificate of Designation, which provides for the redemption of the shares of Preferred Stock by the Company upon a written request by the holder of the shares of Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 4.11 of the Subscription Agreement. In accordance with the Certificate of Designation, the shares of Preferred Stock surrendered to the Company for redemption shall be cancelled.

 

According to Section 4.11 of the Subscription Agreement, the number of shares of Preferred Stock that OEP is required to surrender to the Company upon receipt of the Redemption Amount shall be equal to X, where:

 

X = Y / Z

 

Where:

 

X = the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be delivered to the Company by OEP

 

Y = the Redemption Amount

 

Z = ((1.042)a * US$30) where “a” is a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days passed from the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Subscription Agreement to date of determination and the denominator of which is 365.

 

 
 

 

As set forth in the Redemption Notice, “a” is equal to 952/365 and therefore Z is equal to approximately $33.40.

 

The Redemption Notice also notified the Company that OEP intends to request, that the Guangzhou branch of JPMorgan Chase Bank, the Company’s Guangzhou, China based escrow agent (the “Guangzhou Escrow Agent”) distribute to OEP an additional RMB35,073,482.94 on a date to be determined by OEP (which shall in no event be earlier than September 30, 2012) and notify the Guangzhou Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 4.11 of the Subscription Agreement and an Escrow Agreement, by and among Guangzhou Konzern Medicine Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company, OEP, and the Guangzhou Escrow Agent, dated January 31, 2012, and that upon receipt of RMB35,073,482.94 OEP shall surrender to the Company the number of shares of Preferred Stock determined as set forth in the Redemption Notice.
