Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers

 

On December 3, 2013, the holder of all of the shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”) reappointed Mr. Homer Sun as a director of the Company. Mr. Sun was appointed to the Board of Directors pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement by the holders of all outstanding Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation relating thereto dated June 8, 2011. Should Mr. Sun cease to be a director of the Company, so long as 1,420,455 or more Preferred Shares are outstanding at such time, the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Preferred Shares are similarly entitled to appoint one director to the Company’s board of directors. Mr. Sun serves as a member of the Company’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and is the chief investment officer of Morgan Stanley Private Equity Asia, which is an affiliate of MSPEA Agriculture Holding Limited ("MSPEA"), a holder of 15.4% of the total outstanding shares of Company common stock on an as-converted basis. MSPEA is a party to a contribution agreement entered into in connection with the Company's proposed going-private merger transaction and which provides for MSPEA to receive shares of Series A-1 preferred stock in one of the Company's significant shareholders, Full Alliance International Limited, as more fully described in the amended preliminary proxy statement filed by the Company on November 26, 2013, which description is incorporated by reference herein.
