This Schedule 13D/A provides the full legal details of the amended going-private merger agreement, confirming a severe reduction in the per-share consideration from US$0.90 to US$0.066. This represents a 92.7% decrease in the buyout price for public shareholders. While the company's stock is currently trading below the new offer price, the drastic cut from the original offer is a significant negative development, fundamentally altering the investment thesis for existing shareholders. The transaction, supported by rollover shareholders and new equity financing, aims to take the company private, removing its shares from the OTC Pink Open Market. This event signals a highly unfavorable outcome for public investors in the going-private transaction.
