In its Form 8-K filed 7-13-15, the Company disclosed that The Yang Group, which held 80% of the Company’s issued and outstanding voting common shares, was expected to begin distributing its shares in the Company to certain of its constituent members. On September 11, 2015, The Yang Group distributed 7,153,334 shares of the Company’s voting common stock to seventeen constituent members, both individuals and entities. Two of those distributees each received more than 5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares: Lien Chuang Investment Co, Ltd, received 1,400,000 shares, constituting beneficial ownership of 6.9% of the Company’s voting securities; and Te-Li Kuo received 1,320,000 shares, constituting beneficial ownership of 6.6% of the Company’s voting securities. The Yang Group retains 8,962,514 shares of the Company’s voting common shares, constituting 44.5% of the Company’s voting securities. As further distributions are made, the Company will disclose on Form 8-K any new major shareholders (more than 5%). There is expected to be no continuing arrangement or understanding among the members or former members of The Yang Group and their associates with respect to the election of directors or other matters, although the shares to be retained by The Yang Group will continue to be voted by Stephen T. Chen, President and CEO of the Company, until such time as they are distributed.
