However, the foregoing restrictions will not, in any manner, limit or prohibit Gold Sino or any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective representatives from communicating privately with the Issuer’s directors, officers or Representatives so long as such communications are not intended to, and would not reasonably be expected to, require any public disclosure of such communications.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Issuer has granted Gold Sino, effective as of the Closing, certain registration rights with respect to the registration of the Subscribed Shares and the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Specifically, the Issuer agrees to file a registration statement as soon as reasonably practicable upon receipt of a request from Gold Sino to register the resale of certain registrable securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to time (the “Securities Act”), subject to certain limitations set forth therein. The Issuer also agreed to provide customary “piggyback” registration rights with respect to such registrable securities and, subject to certain circumstances, to file a resale shelf registration statement to register the resale under the Securities Act of such registrable securities.
This summary is qualified by the actual terms of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference.
