(EDS) ("Exceed" or the "Company"), one of the leading domestic sportswear brands in China, today announced that it intends to adjourn its extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to be held on April 16, 2014, at 10:00 a.m. (Hong Kong time), at United Conference Centre, 10/F, United Centre, 95 Queensway, Hong Kong,
to consider and vote on the proposal to adopt the previously announced
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated December 2, 2013,
by and among the Company, Pan Long Company Limited ("Parent"), an
exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of
the Cayman Islands
and wholly owned by Mr. Shuipan Lin ("Mr. Lin"), the Company's Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer, and Pan Long Investment Holdings Limited
("Merger Sub"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.
The Company intends
to hold the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on April 16, 2014,
but immediately adjourn the meeting without conducting any business.
Other than the adjournment of the meeting, no vote will be taken on April 16, 2014 for any resolution set forth in the notice of the extraordinary general meeting dated March 21, 2014.
The
board of directors of the Company has determined that it is in the best
interests of its shareholders to adjourn the extraordinary general
meeting because Mr. Lin has advised the Company that he requires
additional time to obtain his contemplated financing for the pending
transaction.
The
Company intends to resume the adjourned extraordinary general meeting
of shareholders as soon as practicable following confirmation from Mr.
Lin that the financing is on deposit in an account outside of the People's Republic of China
and available at the closing of the transaction, and Mr. Lin has
further advised the Company that it expects this will not be later than May 31, 2014.
The resolutions set out in the notice of the extraordinary general meeting dated March 21, 2014
will be considered and voted on at such time as the adjourned
extraordinary general meeting is resumed.
The Company will give notice
to shareholders of the date on which the adjourned extraordinary general
meeting will be resumed as soon as a date is selected, and in any event
not less than seven calendar days prior to such resumed meeting as
required under the laws of the British Virgin Islands.
