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”).

拉巴頓·蘇查洛有限責任公司(「拉巴頓·蘇查洛」)宣布,於 2020 年 7 月 17 日,它提起了一項證券集體訴訟,上限四倍投資有限責任公司訴訟。 天天光能控股有限公司, 第一號:20-cV-05551 (S.D.N.Y。)(「行動」)代表其客戶 Quadre 投資有限公司(「Quadre」)針對天光能控股有限公司(「天空」)(納斯達克股份代號:SKYS)及其某些潛在收購者。該訴訟根據 1934 年證券交易法(「交易法」)第 13(e)條(「交易法」)和根據該法規公布的 SEC 第 13e-3 條,代表截至該訴訟提交時(「集體期間」)的所有公開交易 Sky ADS 的所有持有人的類別(「類別」)提出索賠。

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 是一家從事太陽能行業的開曼群島公司。該行動涉及一個集團(「要約人集團」)收購 Sky 的建議,該集團包括 SKY 的附屬公司(「合併」)。此次收購將涉及第一步招標要約和簡短合併。

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.

該行動指,支持 2020 年 7 月 6 日合併發出的文件在兩個主要方面不足。首先,該等文件指該等文件未能履行《上市規則》第 13e-3 所載有關交易公平性及要約人集團所執行估值的若干資料的披露責任。第二,該等文件指該等文件未能履行《上市規則》第 13e-3 條關於評估權或其他股東權利的若干資料的披露責任。具體而言,披露聲明,不會有評估權,因為根據開曼島法律進行短形式合併不需要股東投票。該行動聲稱股東擁有評估權並具有行使該等權利的手段。

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

任何有興趣追求評估的人都應諮詢自己的律師就此問題。

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,要約小組提交了其他支持合併的文件。這些文件(1)附上了在訴訟中提交的投訴副本,(2)提供了額外的披露,澄清了要約人集團或為要約人集團執行的估值的問題,以及(3)總結了 Quadre 關於評估權存在的立場。其他文件還正確指出,Quadre 認為該行動已被附加文件「模擬」。

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.
