Item 1.
|
Security and Issuer.
|
This Amendment No. 2 (“
Amendment
No. 2
”) amends the Schedule 13D filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “
SEC
”) on October 3, 2016, as amended by Amendment No. 1, filed on May 8, 2017 (hereinafter, the
“
Schedule 13D
”), filed by (i) York Lion, L.P., a Cayman Islands limited partnership (“
York Lion
”), (ii) York GP, Ltd., a Cayman Islands limited company (“
York GP
”), and (iii) S.
Nicholas Walker, a citizen of the United Kingdom (together with York Lion and York GP, the “
Reporting Persons
”), relating to the common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of Global Sources Ltd. (the “
Issuer
”), a
Bermuda corporation with principal offices located at Canon’s Court, 22 Victoria Street, Hamilton, HM 12 Bermuda.
Capitalized
terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 2 have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.
This Amendment No. 2 amends
the Schedule 13D as follows:
|
Item 5.
|
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
|
On August 28, 2017, the Issuer was
amalgamated with Expo Holdings II, Ltd. (“
Amalgamation Sub
”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Expo Holdings I Ltd. (“
Parent
”), pursuant to the terms of an agreement and plan of amalgamation (the “
Amalgamation
Agreement
”) by and among the Issuer, Amalgamation Sub and Parent (the “
Amalgamation
”).
Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in the Amalgamation Agreement, which was approved by the Issuer’s shareholders at a special general meeting held on July 24, 2017, at the effective time of the Amalgamation, each issued and outstanding share of common
stock of the Issuer was automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount equal to US$20.00 in cash, without interest. As a result of the foregoing transactions, the Reporting Persons no longer beneficially own any of the
Issuer’s shares of common stock.
Other than as a result of the Amalgamation, none of the Reporting Persons has effected a
transaction in the Issuer’s shares of common stock in the last sixty (60) days. To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no person listed on
Schedule A
to the Schedule 13D has effected a transaction in the Issuer’s shares of
common stock in the last sixty (60) days.
