Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
 
              On January 28, 2020, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company accepted the Special Committee of the Board and its advisers’ recommendation to arrange a bridge loan (the “Bridge Loan”) of sixteen million dollars (U.S.$16,000,000) in accordance with a Bridge Loan Agreement entered into with Winsor Capital Limited on January 28, 2020. TF Capital Ranok Ltd., an affiliate of Winsor Capital Limited, is a member of the consortium that submitted a non-binding going-private proposal to the Company on November 11, 2019. The Bridge Loan Agreement is not conditioned upon the consortium bid. The Bridge Loan will be provided in three tranches. The first tranche of the Bridge Loan (“Tranche One,” in the amount of US$7,000,000) will be provided on or before February 1, 2020, the second tranche of the Bridge Loan (“Tranche Two,” in the amount of US$7,000,000) will be provided on or before March 1, 2020 and the third tranche of the Bridge Loan (“Tranche Three,” in the amount of US$2,000,000) will be provided on or before April 1, 2020. The Company will repay all unpaid principal amount together with the unpaid and accrued interest payable for Tranche One on the earliest of (i) the date falling nine (9) months from the date of a convertible promissory note (the “Note”) issued pursuant to the terms of the Bridge Loan Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit A to the Bridge Loan Agreement, or (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default (as described in Section 6 of the Note) by converting and issuing to the account holder all (but not part) of the outstanding amount into the common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to the lower of (A) US$19.50 per share and (B) an amount representing a 15% discount to the volume weighted average price over the preceding 30 trading days prior to and including the Maturity Date (as defined in the Note). If a consortium of investors acquires 100% of the shares of the Company or takes the Company private by way of merger or otherwise (the “Acquisition”), at the election of Winsor Capital Limited, all unpaid principal amount together with the unpaid and accrued interest payable under all tranches of the outstanding Bridge Loan may be converted into the common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to the price per share payable in the Acquisition and issued to Winsor Capital Limited and Section 3 (Repayment) of the Note shall not apply.
 
 
The securities will be issued in reliance on an exemption from registration pursuant to Regulation S promulgated under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by the Securities and Exchange Commission and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The issuances did not involve any public offering; no general solicitation or general advertising was used in connection with the offering.
