Labaton Sucharow LLP (“Labaton Sucharow”) announces that on July 17, 2020, it filed a securities class action lawsuit, captionedQuadre Investments L.P. v. Sky Solar Holdings, Ltd., No. 1:20-cv-05551 (S.D.N.Y.) (the “Action”), on behalf of its client Quadre Investments L.P. (“Quadre”) against Sky Solar Holdings, Ltd. (“Sky”) (NASDAQ: SKYS) and certain of its potential acquirers. The Action asserts claims under Sections 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and SEC Rule 13e-3 promulgated thereunder, on behalf of a class (the “Class”) of all holders of publicly traded Sky ADS as of the time the Action was filed (the “Class Period”).

Labaton Sucharow LLP(“Labaton Sucharow”)宣布,它于2020年7月17日提起了证券集体诉讼,即CaptionedQuadre Investments L.P. v. 天空太阳能控股有限公司.,No. 1:20-cv-05551 (S.D.NY.)(“诉讼”),代表其客户Quadre Investments L.P.(“Quadre”)对Sky Solar Holdings, Ltd.(“SKY”)(纳斯达克股票代码:SKYS)及其某些潜在收购者。该诉讼根据1934年《证券交易法》(“交易法”)第13(e)条和据此颁布的美国证券交易委员会第13e-3条代表截至提起诉讼时(“集体诉讼期”)的所有持有人(“集体诉讼期”)提出索赔。

Sky is a Cayman Islands corporation involved in the solar energy industry. The Action relates to the proposed acquisition of Sky by a group (the “Offeror Group”) that includes affiliates of SKY (the “Merger”). The acquisition would involve a first step tender offer and a short-form merger.

Sky是一家从事太阳能行业的开曼群岛公司。该诉讼涉及包括SKY关联公司在内的集团(“要约集团”)对Sky的拟议收购(“合并”)。此次收购将涉及第一步要约和短期合并。

The Action alleges that the documents issued in support of the Merger on July 6, 2020, were inadequate in two primary ways. First, it alleges that the documents failed to meet the disclosure obligations under Rule 13e-3 regarding certain information about the fairness of the transaction and valuations performed by the Offeror Group. Second, it alleges that the documents failed to meet the disclosure obligations under Rule 13e-3 regarding certain information about the availability of appraisal rights or other shareholder rights. Specifically, the disclosures stated that there would be no appraisal rights because a short-form merger under Cayman law does not require a shareholder vote. The Action alleges that shareholders have appraisal rights and have means of exercising those rights.

该行动称,2020年7月6日发布的支持合并的文件在两个主要方面存在不足。首先,它声称这些文件未能履行第13e-3条规定的披露义务,这些披露义务涉及有关交易公平性的某些信息以及要约集团的估值。其次,它声称这些文件未能履行第13e-3条规定的有关评估权或其他股东权利可用性的某些信息的披露义务。具体而言,披露指出,不会有评估权,因为开曼法律规定的短期合并不需要股东投票。该诉讼称,股东拥有评估权并有行使这些权利的手段。

Anyone interested in pursuing appraisal should consult with their own counsel regarding the issue.

任何有兴趣进行评估的人都应就此问题咨询自己的律师。

On July 24, 2020, additional documents in support of the Merger were filed by the Offer Group. Those documents (1) attached a copy of the complaint filed in the Action, (2) provided additional disclosures, which clarified issues regarding the valuation performed by or for the Offeror Group, and (3) summarized Quadre’s position regarding the existence of appraisal rights. The additional documents also correctly stated that Quadre believes that the Action has “been rendered moot” by the additional documents.

2020年7月24日,要约集团提交了支持合并的其他文件。这些文件(1)附有诉讼中提出的申诉的副本,(2)提供了其他披露,澄清了与要约人集团进行估值或为要约集团进行估值有关的问题,(3)总结了Quadre关于评估权存在的立场。其他文件还正确地指出,Quadre认为附加文件已使该行动 “失去实际意义”。

If you are a member of the Class you may be able to seek appointment as Lead Plaintiff. Lead Plaintiff motion papers must be filed with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York no later than October 5, 2020. To be a member of the Class you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the Class.

如果您是集体成员,则可以寻求任命为首席原告。首席原告的动议文件必须在2020年10月5日之前向美国纽约南区地方法院提交。要成为集体成员,你现在无需采取任何行动;你可以聘请自己选择的律师,也可以不采取任何行动,继续作为集体成员缺席。
