This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) is filed to amend and supplement the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons named therein with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 3, 2013 (the “Schedule 13D”), with respect to Giant Interactive Group Inc. (the “Issuer”). Except as specifically amended and supplemented by this Amendment, the Schedule 13D remains in full force and effect. All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

Item 2. Identity and Background

Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented by adding the following:

The directors and executive officers of Baring (12) and Baring Limited are set forth on Schedule I attached hereto, which amends and restates Schedule I to the Schedule 13D in its entirety. Schedule I sets forth the following information with respect to each such person:

 

(i) name;

 

(ii) business address;

 

(iii) present principal occupation or employment and the name, principal business and address of any corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted; and

 

(iv) citizenship.

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons or, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any person named in Schedule I, 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

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented by adding the following:

Pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of March 17, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, Giant Investment Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Parent”), and Giant Merger Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), subject to the terms and conditions thereof, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”), with the Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. The descriptions of the Merger and of the Merger Agreement set forth in Item 4 below are incorporated by reference in their entirety into this Item 3. The information disclosed in this paragraph is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 7.07, and which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

Baring (12), Mr. Shi, Vogel, Union Sky, and Rich Noble Enterprises Limited, a British Virgin Islands company with limited liability (“Hony SPV” and, together with Baring (12), Mr. Shi, Vogel and Union Sky, the “Consortium”) anticipate that approximately US$2.25 billion will be expended to complete the Merger. This amount includes (a) the estimated funds required by the Consortium to (i) purchase the outstanding Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) owned by shareholders of the Issuer other than the members of the Consortium at a purchase price of US$12 per Ordinary Share or US$12 per ADS, (ii) purchase the Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) to be sold by Union Sky and Vogel in the Merger at a purchase price of US$12 per Ordinary Share or US$12 per ADS, and (iii) settle the outstanding options to purchase Ordinary Shares and shares of restricted stock granted under the 2007 Performance Incentive Plan and the Employee Share Option Scheme of the Issuer, and (b) the estimated transaction costs associated with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Transactions”) (excluding any tax liabilities).

 

8


The Transactions will be funded through a combination of (i) the proceeds from a committed and underwritten loan facility contemplated by a commitment and underwriting letter, dated as of March 17, 2014 (the “Debt Commitment Letter”), by and among Parent, Merger Sub, Giant Group Holdings Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and the sole shareholder of Parent (“Holdco”), China Minsheng Banking Corp., Ltd., Hong Kong Branch, BNP Paribas Hong Kong Branch, Credit Suisse AG, Singapore Branch, Deutsche Bank AG, Singapore Branch, Goldman Sachs (Asia) L.L.C., ICBC International Finance Limited and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Mandated Lead Arrangers”), and China Minsheng Banking Corp., Ltd., Hong Kong Branch, BNP Paribas Hong Kong Branch, Credit Suisse AG, Singapore Branch, Deutsche Bank AG, Singapore Branch, Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC, ICBC International Finance Limited and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Underwriters”), (ii) cash contributions contemplated by equity commitment letters, dated as of March 17, 2014 (the “Equity Commitment Letters”), by and between Holdco and each of Baring LP and Hony Capital Fund V, L.P., a limited partnership organized and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands and the 100% shareholder of Hony SPV (“Hony LP”), and (iii) cash in the Issuer and its subsidiaries. Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Debt Commitment Letter, the Mandated Lead Arrangers committed to arrange and the Underwriters committed to underwrite (directly or through their affiliates) a term loan facility of US$850 million in principal amount for Merger Sub to consummate the Merger. Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Equity Commitment Letters, Baring LP and Hony LP will provide equity financing in an aggregate amount of US$808.4 million to Holdco to consummate the Merger. The information disclosed in this paragraph is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Debt Commitment Letter and the Equity Commitment Letters, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 7.08 through Exhibit 7.10, respectively, and which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Baring (12) and Union Sky (the “Rollover Shareholders”) and Vogel entered into a support agreement dated as of March 17, 2014 (the “Support Agreement”) with Parent and Holdco providing that the Rollover Shares (as defined below), in connection with and at the effective time of the Merger, will be cancelled for no consideration. The description of the Support Agreement set forth in Item 4 below is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 3. The information disclosed in this paragraph is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Support Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 7.11, and which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented by adding the following:

On March 17, 2014, the Issuer announced in a press release that it had entered into the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each Ordinary Share, including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be cancelled in consideration for the right to receive US$12.00 per Share or US$12.00 per ADS, in each case, in cash, without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes, except for (a) up to 59,890,972 Ordinary Shares held by Union Sky (the “Union Sky Rollover Shares”), 11,800,000 Ordinary Shares held by Baring (12) (together with the Union Sky Rollover Shares, the “Rollover Shares”) and the Ordinary Shares held by Parent, the Issuer or any of their subsidiaries immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, which will be cancelled without payment of any consideration or distribution therefor, (b) Ordinary Shares held by shareholders who shall have validly exercised and not effectively withdrawn or lost their right to dissent from the Merger, which will be cancelled and will entitle the former holders thereof to receive the fair value thereon in accordance with such holder’s dissenters’ rights under the Cayman Islands Companies Law, and (c) 37,500,000 Ordinary Shares held by Union Sky immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, which will be cancelled in exchange for Union Sky’s right to receive a promissory note to be issued to Union Sky in the principal amount of US$450,000,000, being the product of 37,500,000 and US$12.00, which note will be issued by the Issuer and bear simple interest at two percent per annum. The Merger is subject to the approval of the Issuer’s shareholders and various other closing conditions.

Following the consummation of the Merger, the Issuer will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco. In addition, if the Merger is consummated, the ADSs would be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange, the Issuer’s obligations to file periodic report under the Exchange Act would be terminated, and the Issuer will be privately held by the members of the Consortium.

 

9


Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Rollover Shareholders and Vogel entered into the Support Agreement with Parent and Holdco, pursuant to which they have agreed with Parent and Holdco, among other things, that: (a) the Rollover Shareholders and Vogel will vote all of the Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) owned directly or indirectly by them in favor of the authorization and approval of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Merger, and (b) the Rollover Shares will, in connection with and at the effective time of the Merger, be cancelled for no consideration.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Mr. Shi, Union Sky, Vogel, Baring (12) and Hony SPV entered into an interim investors agreement dated as of March 17, 2014 (the “Interim Investors Agreement”) with Holdco, Parent and Merger Sub, pursuant to which the parties thereto agreed to certain terms and conditions that will govern the actions of Holdco, Parent and Merger Sub and the relationship among the members of the Consortium with respect to the Transactions.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, (i) Baring LP executed and delivered a guarantee (the “Baring Guarantee”) in favor of Mr. Shi, Union Sky and Hony SPV with respect to Baring (12)’s obligations under certain sections of the Interim Investors Agreement, and (ii) Hony LP executed and delivered a guarantee (the “Hony Guarantee”) in favor of Mr. Shi, Union Sky and Baring (12) with respect to Hony SPV’s obligations under certain sections of the Interim Investors Agreement and the Consortium Agreement.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, each of Union Sky, Baring LP and Hony LP executed and delivered a limited guarantee (each a “Limited Guarantee” and collectively the “Limited Guarantees”) in favor of the Issuer with respect to the payment obligations of Parent under the Merger Agreement for the termination fee that may become payable to the Issuer by Parent under certain circumstances and certain costs and expenses, as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The information disclosed in this Item 4 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, the Support Agreement, the Interim Investors Agreement, the Baring Guarantee, the Hony Guarantee and the Limited Guarantees, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 7.07 and Exhibit 7.11 through Exhibit 7.17, respectively, and which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

Item 3 of this Amendment is incorporated herein by reference.

Other than as described in Item 3 and Item 4 above, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the other persons named in Item 2, has any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, formulate other purposes, plans or proposals regarding the Issuer, or any other actions that could involve one or more of the types of transactions or have one or more of the results described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
