Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, approximately 80% of the purchase price was paid by each of the Investors upon the closing and the remaining amount was paid on or before March 31, 2011 pursuant to a promissory note signed by each Investor in favor of the Issuer. The closing of the Transaction occurred on January 13, 2011.

 

On April 8, 2015, Focus Media transferred the Common Shares to its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, FMIL, for a consideration of US$1,707,500, which is calculated as the portion of shareholders’ equity of the Issuer corresponding to the Common Shares as reflected in the quarterly financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2014.
