Item 2. Identity and Background.
This Statement is being filed by Meadville Holdings Company Limited, a company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Meadville”), Mr. Tang Hsiang Chien, a citizen of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of People’s Republic of China (“Mr. Tang”), Su Sih (BVI) Limited, a company organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“Su Sih”) and Top Mix Investments Limited, a company organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“Top Mix”, and, together with Meadville, Mr. Tang and Su Sih, each, a “Reporting Person” and collectively, the “Reporting Persons”). Su Sih and Top Mix are holding companies wholly owned by Mr. Tang. Mr. Tang, in his capacity as trustee of The Mein et Moi Trust (a discretionary trust established for the benefit of the family of his eldest son, Mr. Tang Ying Yen, Henry) and through Su Sih and Top Mix, holds 1,417,561,000 ordinary shares of Meadville, representing 72.2% of Meadville’s total issued and outstanding share capital.
Meadville is one of the leading manufacturers of printed circuit boards (“PCB”) in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) by revenue, with a focus on producing high-end PCB products. Meadville’s principal executive office is located at No. 4 Dai Shun Street, Tai Po Industrial Estate, Tai Po, New Territories, Hong Kong.
The principal business address of Mr. Tang is No. 4 Dai Shun Street, Tai Po Industrial Estate, Tai Po, New Territories, Hong Kong. The principal business address of Su Sih and Top Mix in Hong Kong is Room 2407, ING Tower, 308 Des Voeux Road, Central, Hong Kong. The name, business address, present principal occupation or employment and citizenship of each of the executive officers and directors of Meadville, Su Sih and Top Mix are set forth on Schedule A, Schedule B and Schedule C hereto, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
During the last five years, neither Meadville, Mr. Tang, Su Sih, Top Mix nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of the persons listed on Schedules A, B and C hereto has been: (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Meadville, MTG Investment (BVI) Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and a wholly owned subsidiary of Meadville (“MTG”), TTM Technologies, Inc., TTM Technologies International, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware and a wholly owned subsidiary of TTM Technologies, Inc. (“TTM International”), and TTM Hog Kong Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong and a wholly owned subsidiary of TTM International, Inc. (“TTM Hong Kong”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement on November 16, 2009 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”). A copy of the Share Transfer Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The description of the Stock Purchase Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit A, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Meadville and TTM effected a business combination (the “PCB Combination”), whereby MTG sold its subsidiaries carrying on the printed circuit boards business (the “Asian PCB Subsidiaries”) to TTM Hong Kong for a consideration consisting of US$114,034,328 and the issuance of 36,334,000 Shares, in each case paid and issued to Meadville.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
On April 9, 2010, the date of the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Closing Date”), Meadville holds 45.4% of TTM’s total outstanding Shares. Meadville is proposing to distribute all of its assets (including the
Shares) to its shareholders, and to wind-up and dissolve thereafter. Meadville acquired the Shares because it believes the PCB Combination is in the best interest of its shareholders. It is currently anticipated that the distribution of the Shares to the shareholders of Meadville will occur on May 5, 2010. Mr. Tang is directing all of the Shares entitled to be distributed to him, Su Sih and Top Mix to be distributed to Su Sih. Su Sih is anticipated to receive a total of 26,224,878 Shares from the distribution.
Independent shareholders of Meadville have the option to receive, in lieu of the Shares they are otherwise entitled to, proceeds received from the sale of such shares in a dealing facility to be provided by Meadville and TTM. It is currently proposed that the TTM shares included in the dealing facility would be sold by a placement agent or underwriter. Su Sih may, but is not committed to acquire additional Shares through the dealing facility, provided, however, that the terms of the Shareholders Agreement (as defined in below) restrict Su Sih from acquiring more 39% of the Shares in any event.
In connection with the PCB Combination, TTM, Meadville, Su Sih, Mr. Tang, TANG Chung Yen, Tom and TANG Ying Ming, Mai, entered into the Shareholders Agreement, dated as of April 9, 2010 (the “Shareholders Agreement”). The Shareholders Agreement provides that, until terminated in accordance with its terms (unless otherwise specified, capitalized terms used below have the same meaning as defined in the Shareholders Agreement):
|
·
|
The Tang Shareholders have the right to jointly designate one individual for nomination for election as a director of TTM (the “Tang Director”), and the Tang Shareholders and the Tang Siblings are entitled to nominate directors comprising a majority of the board of each of the Asian PCB Subsidiaries. TTM’s board of directors will have veto rights over various major actions of the Asian PCB Subsidiaries;
|
|
·
|
The Tang Shareholders and Tang Siblings will not, without the approval of TTM’s board of directors, increase their aggregate percentage beneficial ownership of Shares above 33%, or under certain circumstances above 39%, of the then outstanding Shares, except where such increase results from TTM engaging in an open market share repurchase program or a similar transaction, or through distribution of securities or issuances in connection with stockholder rights plans or other rights offerings to TTM’s stockholders, or acquire beneficial ownership of any shares of TTM’s capital stock that does not constitute Shares;
|
|
·
|
The Tang Shareholders and the Tang Siblings are subject to certain restrictions on transfers of Shares, described below:

|
|
§
|
pursuant to any of the permitted transfers they may make during the Lock-Up Period set forth above.
|

Registration Rights Agreement
Demand registration rights. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Tang Shareholders has the right to demand that the Company effect a registration covering the offer and sale of the Shares, following the date that is eighteen months after the Closing Date, the Tang Shareholders will have the right to require TTM to use reasonable efforts to effect the registration of their registrable securities under the Securities Act as follows: (i) up to three registrations upon their demand (subject to certain limitations) during the first five year period following the date of the registration rights agreement, and thereafter, (ii) up to such number of registrations upon demand equal to four minus the number of demand registrations effected in accordance with the registration rights agreement during the first five year period. A registration will count for this purpose only if the registration of all registrable securities requested to be registered is declared effective and remains effective for a period of 90 days and not subject to any stop order or injunction and closed or withdrawn at the request of the Tang Shareholders.
TTM has the right to delay the filing or effectiveness of a registration statement during no more than two periods, aggregating to not more than 120 days in any twelve month period, in customary “black out” circumstances. In the event that TTM limits the number of shares that may be included on any particular registration statement in which the Tang Shareholders elect to include registrable securities, the registrable securities are to be (i) the last shares “cut-back” on any demand registrations, and (ii) “cut-back” before any shares TTM includes, but after other selling stockholders (other than the Tang Shareholders) for any piggy-back registrations;
Piggyback registration rights. the Tang Shareholders is entitled to customary “piggyback” registration rights on customary types of registration statements that TTM file with the SEC, meaning if TTM proposes to file on its behalf and/or on behalf of any holder of TTM’s securities (other than a holder of registrable securities) a registration statement under the Securities Act, TTM agrees to include registrable securities held by the Tang Shareholder in that registration statement, subject to certain exceptions;
