|
The
parties to the Merger Agreement are Alyst, China Networks Media, CN
Holdings, China Networks Merger Co., Mr. Li Shuangqing, MediaInv Ltd., and
Kerry Propper. See the section entitled “The Business Combination
Proposal.”
|
|
·
|
Alyst
will merge with and into CN Holdings, Alyst’s
wholly-owned subsidiary incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, or
BVI, resulting in CN Holdings as the surviving corporation, for the
purpose of redomesticating Alyst from the State of Delaware to the BVI as
part of the acquisition of China Networks Media in the Business
Combination. See the section entitled “The Redomestication Proposal.”
|
|
·
|
In
connection with the Redomestication Merger, all of Alyst’s issued and
outstanding securities immediately prior to the Redomestication Merger
will be converted into securities of CN Holdings as set forth in the
Merger Agreement. See the section entitled “The Business Combination
Proposal – Terms of the Merger Agreement – Basic Deal
Terms.”
|
|
·
|
China
Networks Merger Co., a company incorporated in the BVI and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of CN Holdings, will merge with and into China Networks Media,
whereupon China Networks Media will be the surviving entity and the
wholly-owned subsidiary of CN Holdings. See the section entitled “The
Business Combination Proposal.”
|
|
·
|
In
connection with the Business Combination, each ordinary share of China
Networks Media issued and outstanding prior to the business combination
will be converted automatically into one ordinary share of CN Holdings and
each class A preferred share of China Networks Media outstanding
immediately prior to the business combination will be converted into one
ordinary share of CN Holdings. See the section entitled “The Business
Combination Proposal – Terms of the Merger Agreement – Basic Deal
Terms.”
|
·
|
The
current market value of the aggregate maximum merger consideration payable
to China Networks Media in the Business Combination is approximately
$137,764,000 based upon the closing price of Alyst’s common
stock on the NYSE Amex on May 26, 2009 of $7.80 per
share. CN Holdings will issue to China Networks Media’s
shareholders aggregate merger consideration of (i) 2,880,000 CN Holdings
ordinary shares (with a current market value of $22,464,000), (ii) an
aggregate of $17,000,000 in cash, (iii) deferred cash payments of up to
$6,000,000 and deferred share payments of up to 9,000,000 ordinary shares
of CN Holdings, in each case subject to the achievement of specified
financial milestones set forth in the Merger Agreement, and (iv)
$22,110,000 of proceeds from the exercise of CN Holdings
warrants. The deferred cash and deferred stock consideration
will be payable as follows: (x) $3,000,000 cash and 2,850,000 shares of
stock upon China Networks Media achieving pro forma net income for fiscal
year 2009 of greater than $20,000,000; (y) $3,000,000 cash and 3,075,000
shares of stock upon China Networks Media achieving pro forma
net income for fiscal year 2010 of greater than $30,000,000; and (z)
3,075,000 shares of stock upon China Networks Media achieving pro forma
net income for fiscal year 2011 of greater than $40,000,000. The
pro forma net income of China Networks Media is calculated by determining
the net income of China Networks Media in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), but excluding (i) equity-based
compensation charges, (ii) extraordinary one-time charges, and (iii)
charges related to the Business Combination or impairment of goodwill; and
including the net income generated by acquired businesses or persons only
to the extent that such acquisitions are accretive on a net income per
share basis. In addition, if acquisitions are included in the
calculation of pro forma net income for any year, the calculation will
assume that all such acquisitions occurred on the first day of such
year.
|
|
·
|
China
Networks Media is a venture provider of broadcast television services in
the People’s Republic
of China, or PRC, operating in partnership with a local state-owned
enterprise authorized by the PRC government to control the distribution of
broadcast TV services. See the section entitled “Information about China
Networks Media.”
|
|
·
|
The
closing of the acquisition of China Networks Media is subject to the
satisfaction by each party of various conditions prior to closing. See the
section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal – Terms of the
Merger Agreement – Closing
Conditions.”
|
|
·
|
The
Business Combination will not be consummated unless the Redomestication
Proposal is approved, and the Redomestication Merger will not be
consummated unless the Business Combination Proposal is approved. See the
section entitled “The Alyst Special Meeting – Vote
Required.”
|
|
·
|
Stockholders
are also being asked to approve the 2008 Omnibus Securities and
Incentive Plan pursuant to which directors, officers, employees and
consultants of the surviving corporation, CN Holdings, or its subsidiaries
may be granted options to purchase up to 2,500,000 ordinary shares of CN
Holdings. See the section entitled “The Share
Incentive Plan Proposal.”
|
Q.
What is being voted on?
|
A.
You are being asked to vote on four proposals:
|
|
· The merger of Alyst
with and into its wholly-owned British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) subsidiary,
CN Holdings, for the purpose of redomesticating Alyst to the BVI and
increasing the authorized share capital to accommodate the Business
Combination. This proposal is called the ‘‘Redomestication Merger
Proposal.’’
|
||
· The proposed merger
of CN Holdings’ wholly-owned subsidiary, China Networks Merger Co., with
and into China Networks Media, resulting in China Networks Media becoming
a wholly-owned subsidiary of CN Holdings. This proposal is called the
‘‘Business Combination Proposal.’’
|
||
|
||
· The approval of the
2008 Omnibus Securities and Incentive Plan pursuant to which directors,
officers, employees and consultants of the surviving corporation, CN
Holdings, or its subsidiaries may be granted up to 2.5 million ordinary
shares of CN Holdings. This proposal is called the “Share Incentive Plan
Proposal.”
|
||
· The approval of any
adjournment or postponement of the Special Meeting for the purpose of
soliciting additional proxies. This proposal is called the ‘‘Adjournment
and Postponement Proposal.’’
|
||
Q.
Why are stockholders of Alyst being asked to approve actions that will be
taken by CN Holdings?
|
A.
Alyst stockholders are being asked to approve the entry into the Business
Combination by CN Holdings. The Memorandum and Articles of Association of
CN Holdings will include protective provisions identical in substance to
those contained in Alyst’s amended and restated certificate of
incorporation at the time of its IPO, although CN Holdings will have a
perpetual, rather than limited, existence and its authorized share capital
will increase to 75 million ordinary shares (compared to 30 million common
and 1 million preferred shares for Alyst). As a result, immediately
following the completion of the Redomestication Merger, the constitutional
documents of CN Holdings will require that the majority of the shares
issued in Alyst’s IPO approve its Business Combination with China Networks
Media, as well as the Share Incentive Plan Proposal. Since the laws of the
BVI also require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of China
Networks Media and China Network Merger Co., the shareholders of each such
corporation will be approving such actions by written consent, effective
upon receipt of corresponding approval of Alyst’s stockholders. Such
action by written consent, together with the approval by Alyst’s
stockholders at the Special Meeting, will be effective under BVI law and
CN Holdings’ amended constitutional documents.
|
|
Q.
Who is entitled to vote?
|
A.
Holders of Alyst’s outstanding common stock as of the close of business on
May 29, 2009, (the “Record Date”) are entitled to vote on all proposals at
the Special Meeting by proxy or in person.
|
|
Q.
What vote is required to approve the Redomestication Merger
Proposal?
|
A.
Approval of the Redomestication Merger Proposal will require the
affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Alyst’s common
stock as of the Record Date, provided there is a quorum and that the
Business Combination is also approved.
|
|
Q.
What vote is required to approve the Business Combination
Proposal?
|
A.
The approval of the Business Combination requires the affirmative vote of
a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock present in person or
by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, including the
affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock issued in the
IPO present, in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special
Meeting, provided that there is a quorum. Alyst’s initial stockholders
have agreed to vote their 1,750,000 shares acquired prior to the IPO and
as part of the insider units sold simultaneously with the consummation of
the IPO in accordance with the holders of a majority of the public shares
voting in person or by proxy at the meeting. Any other shares that may be
acquired by Alyst’s initial stockholders prior to the record date may be
voted in any manner that they choose. Alyst’s initial stockholders have
not acquired any additional shares of common stock entitled to vote beyond
their initial shares.
If
the stockholders approve the Business Combination, the Business
Combination will only proceed if holders of less than 30% of the shares of
common stock sold in Alyst’s IPO exercise their conversion rights and vote
against the Business Combination. If the holders of 2,413,320 or more
shares purchased in Alyst’s IPO vote against the Business Combination and
demand that Alyst convert their shares into their pro rata portion of the
trust account established at the time of the IPO (as described below),
Alyst will not be permitted to consummate the Business Combination
pursuant to its amended and restated certificate of
incorporation.
|
Q.
What vote is required to approve the Share Incentive Plan Proposal?
|
A.
Approval of the Share Incentive Plan Proposal will require the affirmative
vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Alyst’s common stock
represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special
Meeting, provided there is a quorum. Approval of this Proposal is not a
condition to approval of the Business Combination Proposal or
Redomestication Proposal.
|
|
Q.
What vote is required to adopt the proposal to adjourn or postpone the
Special Meeting for the purpose of soliciting additional
proxies?
|
A.
Approval of the Adjournment and Postponement Proposal will require the
affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of Alyst’s common
stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the
Special Meeting, provided there is a quorum.
|
|
Q.
Do Alyst stockholders have appraisal rights under Delaware
law?
|
A.
The Alyst stockholders do not have appraisal rights under Delaware
corporate law in connection with either the Redomestication Merger or the
Business Combination.
|
|
Q.
How will the Redomestication Merger be accomplished?
|
A.
Alyst will merge into CN Holdings, Alyst’s wholly - owned subsidiary that
is incorporated as a BVI company. As a result of the Redomestication
Merger, each currently issued outstanding security of Alyst will
automatically convert into one corresponding security of CN Holdings. This
procedure will result in your becoming a securityholder in CN Holdings
instead of Alyst.
|
|
Q.
What happens post-Business Combination to the funds deposited in the trust
account?
|
A.
Alyst stockholders exercising conversion rights will receive their pro
rata portion of the trust account. The balance of the funds in the trust
account will be released to CN Holdings and will be utilized to pay to the
former shareholders of China Networks Media the cash portion of the merger
consideration in the amount of $17 million, and any remaining funds will
be retained by CN Holdings to make payments aggregating $13.6 million to
the PRC TV Stations (as defined below under “The Companies”) and
approximately $2 million in transaction expenses and commissions due on
closing and for operating capital subsequent to the closing of the
Business Combination.
|
|
Q.
What happens if the Business Combination and Redomestication Merger are
not consummated?
|
A.
If Alyst does not redomesticate and acquire China Networks Media in the
Business Combination, Alyst may seek an alternative business combination.
However, under its amended and restated certificate of
incorporation, if Alyst does not acquire at least majority control of
a target business by June 29, 2009, Alyst must dissolve and distribute to
its public stockholders the amount in the trust account plus any remaining
net assets. Following dissolution, Alyst would no longer exist as a
corporation.
In
any liquidation, the funds held in the trust account, plus any interest
earned thereon (net of taxes payable), together with any remaining
out-of-trust net assets, will be distributed pro rata to Alyst’s common
stockholders who hold shares issued in Alyst’s IPO (other than the initial
stockholders, each of whom has waived any right to any liquidation
distribution with respect to them). See the risk factor on page 26 of
this proxy statement/prospectus relating to risks associated with the
dissolution of Alyst.
|
|
Q.
If Alyst uses funds in the trust account to purchase, directly or
indirectly, shares of common stock sold in the IPO, do I have any
legal remedies?
|
A.
You should be aware that Alyst’s IPO prospectus did not specifically
disclose that funds in its trust account might be used, directly or
indirectly, to purchase common stock issued in the IPO from holders
thereof who intend to vote against the Business Combination Proposal and
convert their common stock into a pro rata share of the trust account (as
Alyst may contemplate doing). However, the IPO prospectus states that
Alyst may use funds from the trust account to, among other things, enter
into arrangements with third parties, or otherwise use available working
capital, as may be necessary to effectuate a business combination.
Nonetheless, if trust funds are used to purchase common stock, a holder of
common stock at the time of the consummation of the Business Combination
who purchased such shares in the IPO might assert a securities law claim
against Alyst for rescission (under which a successful claimant has the
right to receive the total amount paid for his or her securities pursuant
to an allegedly deficient prospectus, plus interest and less any income
earned on the securities, in exchange for surrender of the securities) or
damages (compensation for loss on an investment caused by alleged material
misrepresentations or omissions in the sale of a security). If successful
(with respect to which there can be no assurance), such a claim may
entitle the stockholder to up to $8.00 per share, based on the initial
offering price of the IPO units comprised of stock and warrants, less any
amount received from sale of the original warrants purchased with them,
plus interest from the date of Alyst’s IPO (which, in the case of holders
of common stock issued in the IPO, may be more than the pro rata share of
the trust account to which they are entitled on conversion or
liquidation). See “The Business Combination Proposal – Rescission
Rights.”
|
Q.
Do Alyst stockholders have conversion rights?
|
A.
If you hold shares of common stock issued in Alyst’s IPO, then you have
the right to vote against the Business Combination Proposal and demand
that Alyst convert these shares into a pro rata portion of the trust
account in which a substantial portion of the net proceeds of Alyst’s IPO
are held. These rights to vote against the Business Combination and demand
conversion of the shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account are
sometimes referred to herein as conversion rights. Holders of warrants
issued by Alyst do not have any conversion rights. Pursuant to the
arrangements established at the time of Alyst’s IPO, shareholders of Alyst
representing 30% less one share of the outstanding shares issued in
Alyst’s IPO may exercise conversion rights in the event they vote against
the Business Combination.
|
|
SIMPLY
VOTING AGAINST THE BUSINESS COMBINATION OR CHECKING THE ‘‘EXERCISE
CONVERSION RIGHTS’’ BOX ON A PROXY CARD DOES NOT PERFECT YOUR CONVERSION
RIGHTS – YOU MUST ALSO SEND ALYST THE WRITTEN DEMAND LETTER DESCRIBED
UNDER “THE ALYST SPECIAL MEETING – CONVERSION
RIGHTS.”
|
||
Q.
Will the Alyst stockholders be taxed as a result of the Redomestication
Merger?
|
A. It
is anticipated that Alyst stockholders or warrant holders generally should
not recognize gain or loss as a result of the Redomestication Merger for
U.S. federal income tax purposes. We urge you to consult your own tax
advisors with regard to the particular tax consequences to you of the
Redomestication Merger.
|
|
Q.
Will Alyst be taxed on the Redomestication Merger?
|
A.
It is anticipated that for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as to each of
its assets, Alyst will recognize gain (but not loss) realized as a result
of the Redomestication Merger in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of
the fair market value of such asset over such asset’s adjusted tax basis
at the effective time of the Redomestication Merger. Any U.S. federal
income tax liability incurred by Alyst as a result of the recognition of
such gain should become a liability of CN Holdings by reason of the
Redomestication Merger.
|
|
Q.
If I am not going to attend the Special Meeting in person, should I return
my proxy card instead?
|
A.
Yes. After carefully reading and considering the information in this proxy
statement/prospectus, please fill out and sign your proxy card. Then
return it in the return envelope as soon as possible, so that your shares
may be represented at the Special Meeting. You may also vote by telephone,
as explained on the proxy card. A properly executed proxy will be counted
for the purpose of determining the existence of a
quorum.
|
|
Q.
If I have conversion rights, how do I exercise them?
|
A.
If you wish to exercise your conversion rights, you must vote against the
Business Combination Proposal in person, by submitting a proxy card, or by
telephone, and at the same time send a written demand that Alyst convert
your shares for cash. In addition, prior to the Special Meeting, you must
deliver your shares to the transfer agent in the manner described below.
If, notwithstanding your vote, the Business Combination is completed, then
you will be entitled to receive a pro rata portion of the trust account,
including any interest earned thereon through the record date. You will be
entitled to convert each share of common stock that you hold for
approximately $7.88. If you exercise your conversion rights, then you will
be converting your shares of Alyst common stock for cash and will no
longer own these shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for these
shares only if you tender your stock certificate to our transfer agent,
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, at any time prior to the
conclusion of the vote on the Business Combination. Alternatively, you may
deliver your shares to the transfer agent electronically prior to the
Special Meeting, at a nominal cost, using the Depository Trust Company’s
DWAC System. If you do not make a written demand to exercise your
conversion rights prior to the Special Meeting (or if you do not vote
against the Business Combination Proposal and tender your shares to the
transfer agent prior to the vote), you will lose your conversion rights,
and that loss cannot be remedied.
|
Q.
How do I withdraw my request for conversion?
|
A.
You may withdraw a request for conversion of your shares any time prior to
the date of the Special Meeting by requesting that the transfer agent
return your share certificate(s) either physically or
electronically.
|
|
Q.
What will happen if I abstain from voting or fail to instruct my broker to
vote?
|
A.
An abstention or the failure to instruct your broker how to vote (also
known as a broker non-vote) is not considered a vote cast at the meeting
with respect to the Business Combination Proposal. Therefore your vote
will have no effect on the vote relating to the Business Combination, and
you will not be able to convert your shares into a pro rata
portion of the trust account. An abstention or failure to vote will have
the effect of voting against the Redomestication Merger Proposal and the
Share Incentive Plan Proposal.
|
|
Q.
If
my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker automatically vote
them for me?
|
A.
No. Your broker can vote your shares only if you provide instructions on
how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your
shares. Your broker can tell you how to provide these
instructions.
|
|
|
||
Q.
How do I change my vote?
|
A.
You may send a later-dated, signed proxy card to Alyst’s secretary no
later than 9:00 a.m. on June 23, 2009, prior to the commencement of
the Special Meeting, or attend the Special Meeting in person and vote. You
also may revoke your proxy no later than June 22, 2009 by sending a notice
of revocation to Michael Weksel, Alyst Acquisition Corp., 233 E. 69th
Street, #6J, New York, New York 10021.
|
|
Q.
Do I need to turn in my old certificates?
|
A.
If you wish to exercise your conversion rights, you must tender your
shares to the transfer agent prior to the Special Meeting. If
the Business Combination Proposal is approved and you hold your securities
in Alyst in certificate form, as opposed to holding them through your
broker, you do not need to exchange them for certificates issued by CN
Holdings. Your current certificates will represent your rights in CN
Holdings. You may exchange them by contacting the transfer agent,
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Reorganization Department,
and following their requirements for reissuance.
|
|
Q.
Who can help answer my questions?
|
A.
If you have questions, you may write or call Alyst Acquisition Corp., at
233 E. 69th Street, #6J, New York, New York 10021, (646) 290-6104,
Attention: Michael Weksel or
Morrow & Co., LLC, 470 West Avenue, 3rd
Floor, Stamford, CT. 06902, toll-free
(800)662-5200.
|
|
Q.
When and where will the Special Meeting be held?
|
A.
The meeting will be held at 9:30 a.m. Eastern time on June 23, 2009 at 340
Madison Avenue, 2nd Floor, New York, New York.
|
|
·
|
If the proposed Business
Combination is not completed, and Alyst is unable to complete another
acquisition by June 29, 2009, Alyst will be required to liquidate. Upon
liquidation, the shares of common stock owned by Alyst’s directors will be
worthless because the shares will no longer have any value and the
directors are not entitled to liquidation distributions from Alyst. In
addition, the possibility that Alyst’s officers and directors will be
required to perform their obligations under the indemnity agreements
referred to below will be substantially
increased.
|
|
·
|
In connection with Alyst’s IPO,
Alyst’s current officers and directors agreed to indemnify Alyst for debts
and obligations to vendors that are owed money by Alyst for services
rendered or products sold to Alyst, but only to the extent necessary to
ensure that certain liabilities do not reduce funds in the trust account.
If the Business Combination is consummated, Alyst’s officers and directors
will not have to perform such obligations. If the Business Combination is
not consummated, however, Alyst’s officers and directors could potentially
be liable for any claims against the trust account by vendors who did not
sign waivers.
|
|
·
|
All rights of Alyst’s officers
and directors to be indemnified by Alyst, and of Alyst’s directors to be
exculpated from monetary liability with respect to prior acts or
omissions, will continue after the Business Combination pursuant to
provisions in CN Holdings’ Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of
Association, forms of which are attached hereto as Annexes D and E,
respectively. However, if the Business Combination is not approved and
Alyst subsequently liquidates, its ability to perform its obligations
under those provisions will be substantially impaired since it will cease
to exist. If the Business Combination is ultimately completed, CN
Holdings’ ability to perform such obligations will be substantially
enhanced.
|
|
·
|
It is anticipated that China
Networks Media’s current Chief Executive Officer, Li Shuangqing, will
enter into an employment agreement with CN Holdings as a condition to the
consummation of the Merger Agreement, although such condition may be
waived by the parties. The employment agreement must be approved by a
majority of the independent directors of CN Holdings’ Board of
Directors.
|
|
·
|
Under the Share Incentive Plan,
as proposed, directors of CN Holdings’ Board of Directors may be granted
options to purchase shares of CN Holdings. Under the Merger
Agreement, Alyst is entitled to appoint three directors to the post-merger
CN Holdings’ Board of Directors, who will be entitled to receive shares or
option grants under the
Plan.
|
|
·
|
It is expected that Michael
Weksel will serve as a director of CN Holdings if the Business
Combination is consummated.
|
|
·
|
Michael Weksel entered into an
employment agreement in January 2009 with China Networks Media to serve as
its Chief Financial Officer, a role that is expected to continue if the
Business Combination is consummated. The employment agreement
provides that Mr. Weksel may continue in his current obligations to Alyst
until such time as the Business Combination is consummated or Alyst is
dissolved. Mr. Weksel receives no salary from Alyst, but for
the period prior to the earlier of the consummation of the Business
Combination or June 29, 2009 (the “Initial Term”), is entitled to receive
from China Networks Media, a base salary equal to $180,000 per
annum. Such base salary will increase to $360,000 after the
Initial Term. Mr. Weksel is also entitled to receive a bonus of
$360,000 if China Networks Media achieves the net income targets for 2009
and 2010 set out in the Merger Agreement. In addition, if the
Merger Agreement is consummated, Mr. Weksel will receive a 7-year
non-qualified option under the Share Incentive Plan for the purchase of
500,000 ordinary shares of CN Holdings, subject to certain adjustments,
50,000 of which shall vest immediately upon issuance of the
option. The balance of the entitlement under the option shall
vest over a 36-month period.
|
|
·
|
Warrants to purchase Alyst common
stock held by Alyst’s directors and officers are exercisable 90 days
after consummation of the Business Combination. Based upon the
closing price of Alyst’s common stock on May 26, 2009 of $7.80, if
all warrants held by Alyst’s directors and officers were exercised for
common stock at a price of $5 per share the market value of
such shares of common stock would be approximately $14,196,000 at an
aggregate cost of
$9,100,000.
|
|
·
|
Michael Weksel has entered into a
Put-Call Option Agreement with Alyst pursuant to which (i) Alyst has the
right to purchase from Mr. Weksel up to 559,794 of Alyst’s publicly traded
warrants (the “Warrants”) at a price of $0.0446 per warrant (the “Exercise
Price”) at any time through August 31, 2009 and (ii) Mr. Weksel has the
right at any time after June 29, 2009 and before August 31, 2009 to sell
such warrants to Alyst at the Exercise Price. The Warrants were
purchased by Mr. Weksel in open market transactions at a price equal to
the Exercise Price in order to enhance Alyst’s ability to enter
into arrangements with stockholders or third parties to facilitate
consummation of the Business Combination without altering Alyst’s existing
capital structure. If the Business Combination is not consummated and
Alyst is forced to liquidate, the Warrants would have no value in the open
market.

(a)

The
redomestication of Alyst from the State of Delaware to the British Virgin
Islands by merging Alyst with and into China Networks International
Holdings Ltd. (“CN Holdings”), its wholly-owned British Virgin Islands
subsidiary (the “Redomestication Merger”), in conjunction with the
acquisition of China Networks Media, Ltd. (“China Networks Media”), a
private limited liability British Virgin Islands company, as set out in
paragraph (b) below. In connection with the Redomestication Merger, Alyst
will change its name to China Networks International Holdings Ltd. and
adopt the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of
CN Holdings, which will contain provisions equivalent in substance to
Alyst’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and by-laws,
respectively. However, the CN Holdings Amended and Restated Memorandum and
Articles of Association will provide for a perpetual existence. This
proposal is called the “Redomestication Proposal” and is conditioned only
upon approval of the Business Combination Proposal discussed in paragraph
(b) below:
|
|
(b)
|
The
proposed merger of China Networks Merger Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned British
Virgin Islands subsidiary of CN Holdings (“China Networks Merger Co.”),
with and into China Networks Media, resulting in China Networks Media
becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of CN Holdings (the “Business
Combination”), and the related transactions contemplated by the Agreement
and Plan of Merger, dated August 13, 2008, by and among Alyst, China
Networks Media, CN Holdings, China Networks Merger Co., Ltd., Mr. Li
Shuangqing, Kerry Propper and MediaInv Ltd. (the “Merger Agreement”).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, CN Holdings will pay China Networks
Media’s shareholders aggregate merger consideration of (i) 2,880,000 CN
Holdings ordinary shares, (ii) an aggregate of $17,000,000 in cash, (iii)
deferred cash payments of up to $6,000,000 and deferred share payments of
up to 9,000,000 ordinary shares of CN Holdings, in each case subject to
the achievement of specified financial milestones set forth in the Merger
Agreement, and (iv) $22,110,000 of proceeds from the exercise of CN
Holdings warrants. If all merger consideration, including the deferred
portion, is issued to China Networks Media, the market value thereof
(based upon the closing price of Alyst’s common stock on the NYSE
Amex on May 26, 2009, of $7.80 per share) would be approximately
$137,764,000. This proposal is called the “Business Combination Proposal”
and is conditioned only upon approval of the Redomestication Proposal
discussed in paragraph (a) above;
and
|
|
(c)
|
The
proposed 2008 Omnibus Securities and Incentive Plan (the “Share Incentive
Plan”) pursuant to which directors, officers. employees and consultants of
CN Holdings or its subsidiaries may be granted options to purchase up to
2,500,000 million ordinary shares of CN Holdings. This proposal is called
the ‘‘Share Incentive Plan Proposal” and is not a condition to the
Redomestication Proposal or the Business Combination Proposal;
and
|
|
(d)
|
Any
adjournment or postponement of the Special Meeting for the purpose of
soliciting additional proxies in the event Alyst does not receive the
requisite stockholder vote for approval of the Redomestication Proposal
and the Business Combination Proposal – this proposal is called the
‘‘Adjournment and Postponement
Proposal.’’
|
|
·
|
Vote
against the Business Combination Proposal in person, by submitting a proxy
card, or by telephone;
|
·
|
Check
the “Exercise Conversion Rights” box on the proxy card or affirmatively
confirm your exercise of conversion rights if voting by telephone or in
person;
|
|
·
|
Contemporaneous
with a vote against the Business Combination Proposal, send a written
demand to Alyst (Attn: William Weksel) at 233 E. 69th Street, #6J, New
York, NY 10021, which demand must
state:

If
the Business Combination is not approved and Alyst is therefore required
to liquidate, the securities owned by Alyst’s officers and directors will
be worthless because they will not be entitled to receive any of the
assets held in the trust account. In addition, the possibility that the
members of the Board of Directors will be required to perform their
obligations under the indemnity agreements referred to below will be
substantially
increased.
|
·
|
In
connection with the IPO, Alyst’s current officers and directors agreed to
indemnify Alyst for debts and obligations to vendors that are owed money
by Alyst for services rendered or products sold to Alyst, but only to the
extent necessary to ensure that certain liabilities do not reduce funds in
the trust account. If the Business Combination is consummated, Alyst’s
officers and directors will not have to perform such obligations. As of
April 30, 2009, Alyst believes that the maximum amount of the indemnity
obligation of Alyst’s officers and directors is small or non-existent
because the total amounts owed to vendors for which Alyst has not received
a waiver of such vendor’s right to sue the trust account is less than the
amount of funds available to Alyst outside the trust account to pay such
liabilities. If the Business Combination is not consummated, Alyst
anticipates the obligations would total approximately $550,000. Alyst
believes it has sufficient funds outside of the trust account to pay these
obligations and to reimburse directors and officers for all expenses
incurred by them. All vendors agreed to the waiver other than Alyst’s
legal counsel and accountants. If the Business Combination is not
consummated, China Networks Media will be responsible for its own expenses
incurred in connection with the Business
Combination.
|
|
·
|
Warrants
to purchase Alyst common stock held by Alyst’s directors and officers are
potentially exercisable upon consummation of the Business Combination.
Based upon the closing price of Alyst’s common stock on May 26, 2009 of
$7.80, if all warrants held by Alyst’s directors and officers were
exercised for common stock at a price of $5 per share the market value of
such shares of common stock would be approximately $14,196,000 at an
aggregate cost of
$9,100,000.

Michael
Weksel has entered into a Put-Call Option Agreement with Alyst pursuant to
which (i) Alyst has the right to purchase from Mr. Weksel up to 559,794 of
Alyst’s publicly traded warrants (the “Warrants”) at a price of $0.0446
per warrant (the “Exercise Price”) at any time through August 31, 2009 and
(ii) Mr. Weksel has the right at any time after June 29, 2009 and before
August 31, 2009 to sell such warrants to Alyst at the Exercise
Price. The Warrants were purchased by Mr. Weksel in open market
transactions at a price equal to the Exercise Price in order to enhance
Alyst’s ability to enter into arrangements with stockholders or third
parties to facilitate consummation of the Business Combination without
altering Alyst’s existing capital structure. If the Business Combination
is not consummated and Alyst is forced to liquidate, the Warrants would
have no value in the open
market.
|
|
·
|
All
rights specified in Alyst’s amended and restated certificate of
incorporation relating to the right of directors and officers to be
indemnified by Alyst, and of Alyst’s directors and officers to be
exculpated from monetary liability with respect to prior acts or
omissions, will continue after the Business Combination to the extent
permitted by British Virgin Islands law. If the Business Combination is
not approved and Alyst liquidates, it will not be able to perform its
obligations under those provisions. If the Business Combination is
ultimately completed, the combined company’s ability to perform such
obligations will probably be substantially
enhanced.

Michael
Weksel entered into an employment agreement in January 2009 with China
Networks Media to serve as its Chief Financial Officer, a role that is
expected to continue if the Business Combination is
consummated. The employment agreement provides that Mr. Weksel
may continue in his current obligations to Alyst until such time as the
Business Combination is consummated or Alyst is dissolved. Mr.
Weksel receives no salary from Alyst, but for the period prior to the
earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or June 29, 2009
(the “Initial Term”), is entitled to receive from China Networks Media, a
base salary equal to $180,000 per annum. Such base salary will
increase to $360,000 after the Initial Term. Mr. Weksel is also
entitled to receive a bonus of $360,000 if China Networks Media achieves
the net income targets for 2009 and 2010 set out in the Merger
Agreement. In addition, if the Merger Agreement is consummated,
Mr. Weksel will receive a 7-year non-qualified option under the Share
Incentive Plan for the purchase of 500,000 ordinary shares of CN Holdings,
subject to certain adjustments, 50,000 of which shall vest immediately
upon issuance of the option. The balance of the entitlement
under the option shall vest over a 36-month
period.
|
|
·
|
Under
the Share Incentive Plan, as proposed, directors of CN Holdings’ Board of
Directors may be granted options to purchase shares of CN
Holdings. Under the Merger Agreement, Alyst is entitled to
appoint three directors to the post-merger CN Holdings’ Board of
Directors, who will be entitled to receive shares or option grants under
the Plan.

Alyst’s
financial, legal and other advisors have rendered services for which they
have not waived their right to payment and may not be paid if the Business
Combination is not approved, and certain of them may have the opportunity
to provide additional services to Alyst in the future. Alyst considers,
however, that as of April 30, 2009 it has sufficient working capital
outside of the trust to pay accrued expenses to such advisors, and expects
to have sufficient working capital for additional amounts incurred in the
event the Business Combination is not consummated. As any recovery of such
fees and expenses by these advisors may be difficult in the event the
Business Combination is not approved, these advisors may be viewed as
having an interest in the outcome of such vote, despite the fact that such
recovery is not contingent on the outcome of the Alyst shareholder
vote.

The
following table lists the securities owned by the members of Alyst’s
current management team and Board of Directors and the amount of potential
gain that each of them would realize if the Business Combination is
consummated, based on the closing price of Alyst’s common stock on
the NYSE Amex on May 26, 2009 of $7.80. Except as noted below,
if a Business Combination is not consummated, the securities held by these
individuals would be valueless since they would not be entitled to
participate in distributions from the trust
account.

Agreements
between Alyst and certain holders of publicly-held common stock
pursuant to which Alyst would agree to purchase such common stock from
such holders immediately after the closing of the Business Combination for
the price and fees specified in the arrangements. The effect of any such
agreements on Alyst’s financial statements would be to decrease cash and
reduce stockholders’ equity as a result of an increase in treasury
stock.
|
|
(ii)
|
Agreements
with third parties to be identified pursuant to which the third parties
would purchase publicly-held common stock during the period beginning on
the date that the registration statement, of which this proxy
statement/prospectus is a part, is declared effective. Such arrangements
would also provide for Alyst, immediately after the closing of the
Business Combination, to purchase from the third parties all of the common
stock purchased by them for the price and fees specified in the
arrangements. The effect of any agreements on Alyst’s financial statements
pursuant to these arrangements, to the extent that Alyst makes purchases
of its common stock from these third parties, would also be to decrease
cash and reduce stockholders’ equity as a result of an increase in
treasury stock.
|
|
(iii)
|
Agreements
with third parties pursuant to which Alyst would borrow funds to make
purchases of publicly-held common stock for its own account. Alyst would
repay such borrowings with funds transferred to it from Alyst’s
trust account upon closing of the Business Combination. The effect of
these forms of agreements would be to incur a preclosing liability for the
borrowings from these third parties and to reduce stockholders’ equity by
the purchase of treasury stock. Upon the closing, and repayment of these
borrowings, the indebtedness would be eliminated and cash would be reduced
by an equal amount, plus any associated transaction
costs.

According
to the PRC National Statistics Bureau, household consumption grew by a
5-year CAGR of 10.2%, reaching RMB 8.0 trillion in 2006. This underlying
dramatic expansion in consumption is expected to continue to drive growth
in the advertising industry.
|
|
·
|
Notwithstanding
this rapid recent growth, advertising spending per capita and spending as
percentage of gross domestic product in China are still much lower than
other countries, representing significant opportunity for further growth.

customers, and such percentage is expected to increase gradually in the
future. Advertising customers typically pay a deposit before

Share
Certificates
|
1.1
|
Every
person whose name is entered as a member in the share register, being the
holder of registered shares, shall without payment be entitled to a share
certificate in the following
circumstances:
|
(a)
|
on
the issuance of such shares to such
member;
|
(b)
|
on
the transfer of such shares to such
member;
|
(c)
|
on
a re-designation or conversion of such shares with the effect that the
certificate previously issued no longer properly describes such shares;
and
|
(d)
|
at
the discretion of the directors (who may levy a reasonable charge), on
notice to the Company of a change of name of the
member.
|
1.2
|
Such
certificate shall be signed by a director or under the common seal of the
Company (which the registered agent of the Company is authorised to affix
to such certificate) with or without the signature of any director or
officer of the Company specifying the share or shares held and the par
value thereof (if the Company is authorised at the relevant time to issue
shares with a par value), provided that in respect of shares held jointly
by several persons, the Company shall not be bound to issue more than one
certificate and delivery of a certificate for a share to one of several
joint holders shall be sufficient delivery to
all
|
1.3
|
If
a certificate is worn out or lost it may, subject to the prior written
consent of any mortgagee or chargee whose interest has been noted on the
register of members, be renewed on production of the worn out certificate,
or on satisfactory proof of its loss together with such indemnity as the
directors may reasonably require. Any member receiving a share
certificate shall indemnify and hold the Company and its officers harmless
from any loss or liability which it or they may incur by reason of
wrongful or fraudulent use or representation made by any person by virtue
of the possession of such a
certificate.
|

|
Issue of Shares
|
2.1
|
Subject to the provisions of these Articles, the
unissued shares of the Company (whether forming part of the original or
any increased authorised shares) shall be at the disposal of the
directors who may offer, allot, grant options over or
otherwise dispose of them to such persons at such times and for such
consideration, being not less than the par value (if any) of the shares
being disposed of, and upon such terms and conditions as the directors may
determine. Such
consideration may take any form acceptable to the directors, including
money, a promissory note, or other written obligation to contribute money
or property, real property, personal
property (including goodwill and know-how), services rendered or a
contract for future services. Before issuing shares for a consideration
other than money, the directors shall pass a Resolution of Directors
stating:
|
(a)
|
the
amount to be credited for the issue of the
shares;
|
(b)
|
their
determination of the reasonable present cash value of the non-money
consideration for the issue; and
|
(c)
|
that,
in their opinion, the present cash value of the non-money consideration
for the issue is not less than the amount to be credited for the issue of
the shares.
|
2.2
|
Subject to the provisions of the Act in this
regard, shares may be issued on the terms that they are redeemable, or at
the option of the Company be liable to be redeemed on such terms and in
such manner as the directors before or at the time of the issue of such
shares may determine. At any
time after the consummation of a Business Combination (as defined in these
Articles), the directors may issue options, warrants or convertible
securities or securities of similar nature conferring the right upon the
holders thereof to subscribe for, purchase or receive any class of shares
or securities in the Company on such terms as it may from time to time
determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the directors may
issue options, warrants or convertible securities in connection with the
Company’s initial public offering.
|
2.3
|
The
Company may issue bonus shares, partly paid shares and nil paid
shares.
|
2.4
|
The directors may redeem any share issued by the
Company at a premium.
|
2.5
|
Except
as otherwise expressly provided in the resolution or resolutions providing
for the establishment of any class or series of preferred shares, no vote
of the holders of preferred shares or of the holders of ordinary shares
shall be a prerequisite to the issuance of any shares of any class or
series of the preferred shares authorized by and complying with the
conditions in the Memorandum or these
Articles.
|
2.6
|
Except as required by the Act, and
notwithstanding that a share certificate may refer to a member holding
shares "as trustee" or similar expression,
no person shall be recognised by the Company as holding any share upon any
trust, and the Company shall not be bound by or be compelled in any way to
recognise (even when having notice thereof) any equitable, contingent,
future or partial interest in any share or any interest in any fractional
part of a share or (except as provided by these Articles or by the Act)
any other rights in respect of any share except any absolute right to
the entirety thereof by the registered
holder.
|

|
Forfeiture
of Shares
|
3.1
|
The
Company may, at any time after the due date for payment, serve on a member
who has not paid in full for shares registered in the name of that member,
a written notice of call ("Notice of Call")
specifying a date for payment to be made. The Notice of Call
shall name a further date not earlier than the expiration of 14 days from
the date of service of the Notice of Call on or before which the payment
required by the Notice of Call is to be made and shall contain a statement
that in the event of non-payment at or before the time named in the Notice
of Call the shares, or any of them, in respect of which payment is not
made will be liable to be
forfeited.
|
3.2
|
Where
a written Notice of Call has been issued under the foregoing Article and
the requirements of the Notice of Call have not been complied with, the
directors may, at any time before tender of payment, forfeit and cancel
the shares to which the Notice of Call relates. The Company is
under no obligation to refund any moneys to the member whose shares have
been cancelled pursuant to this Article and that member shall be
discharged from any further obligation to the
Company.
|
4
|
Transfer
of Shares
|
4.1
|
Shares
in the Company shall be transferred by a written instrument of transfer
signed by the transferor and containing the name and address of the
transferee. The instrument of transfer shall also be signed by
the transferee if registration as a holder of the shares imposes a
liability to the Company on the transferee. The instrument of
transfer of a registered share shall be sent to the Company for
registration.
|
4.2
|
Subject
to the Memorandum of Association, these Articles and to Section 54(5) of
the Act, the Company shall, on receipt of an instrument of transfer, enter
the name of the transferee of the share in the register of members unless
the directors resolve to refuse or delay the registration of the transfer
for reasons that shall be specified in the resolution. Where
the directors pass such a resolution, the Company shall send to the
transferor and the transferee a notice of the refusal or
delay. Notwithstanding anything contained in the
Memorandum or Articles, the directors shall not decline to register any
transfer of shares, nor may they suspend registration thereof where such
transfer is:
|
(a)
|
to
any mortgagee or chargee whose interest has been noted on the register of
members;
|
(b)
|
by
any such mortgagee or chargee, pursuant to the power of sale under its
security; or
|
(c)
|
by
any such mortgagee or chargee in accordance with the terms of the relevant
security document.
|
4.3
|
The
transfer of a registered share is effective when the name of the
transferee is entered in the register of
members.
|
5
|
Mortgages
of Shares and Charges over Shares
|
5.1
|
Members
may mortgage or create a charge or other form of security over their
shares.
|
5.2
|
The
directors shall, at the written request of a member who has mortgaged or
created a charge over his shares, enter in the register of members of the
Company:
|
(a)
|
a
statement that such shares are mortgaged or
charged;
|
(b)
|
the
name of the mortgagee or chargee (where such information has been stated
by the member); and
|
(c)
|
the
date on which the statement and name are entered in the register of
members.
|
6
|
Transmission
of Shares
|
6.1
|
Subject
to Sections 52(2) and 53 of the Act, the executor or administrator of a
deceased member, the guardian of an incompetent member or the trustee of a
bankrupt member shall be the only person recognised by the Company as
having any title to his share, save that and only in the event of death,
incompetence or bankruptcy of any member or members of the Company as a
consequence of which the Company no longer has any directors or members,
then upon the production of any documentation which is reasonable evidence
of the applicant being entitled to:
|
(a)
|
a
grant of probate of the deceased's will, or grant of letters of
administration of the deceased's estate, or confirmation of the
appointment as executor or administrator (as the case may be, or analogous
position in the relevant jurisdiction), of a deceased member's
estate;
|
(b)
|
the
appointment of a guardian (or analogous position in the relevant
jurisdiction) of an incompetent
member;
|
(c)
|
the
appointment as trustee (or analogous position in the relevant
jurisdiction) of a bankrupt member;
or
|
(d)
|
upon
production of any other reasonable evidence of the applicant's beneficial
ownership of, or entitlement to the
shares,
|
to
the Company's registered agent in the British Virgin Islands together with
(if so requested by the registered agent) a notarised copy of the share
certificate(s) of the deceased, incompetent or bankrupt member, an
indemnity in favour of the registered agent and/or appropriate legal
advice in respect of any document issued by a foreign court, then the
administrator, executor, guardian or trustee in bankruptcy (as the case
may be) notwithstanding that their name has not been entered in the share
register of the Company, may by written resolution of the applicant,
endorsed with written approval by the registered agent, be appointed a
director of the Company and/or entered in the share register as the legal
and/or beneficial owner of the
shares.
|
6.2
|
Without
limiting the foregoing, the production to the Company of any document
which is reasonable evidence of:
|
(a)
|
a
grant of probate of the will, or grant of letters of administration of the
estate, or confirmation of the appointment as executor (or analogous
position in the relevant jurisdiction), of a deceased
member;
|
(b)
|
the
appointment of a guardian (or analogous position in the relevant
jurisdiction) of an incompetent
member;
|
(c)
|
the
trustee (or analogous position in the relevant jurisdiction) of a bankrupt
member; or
|
(d)
|
the
applicant's legal and/or beneficial ownership of the
shares,
|
|
shall
be accepted by the Company even if the deceased, incompetent member or
bankrupt member is resident and/or domiciled outside the British Virgin
Islands if the document is issued by a foreign court which had competent
jurisdiction in the matter. For the purposes of establishing
whether or not a foreign court had competent jurisdiction in such a matter
the directors may obtain appropriate legal advice. The
directors may also require an indemnity to be given by the executor,
administrator, guardian, trustee in bankruptcy or the
applicant.
|
6.3
|
Any
person becoming entitled by operation of law or otherwise to a share or
shares in consequence of the death, incompetence or bankruptcy of any
member may be registered as a member upon such evidence being produced as
may reasonably be required by the directors. An application by
any such person to be registered as a member shall for all purposes be
deemed to be a transfer of shares of the deceased, incompetent or bankrupt
member and the directors shall treat it as
such.
|
6.4
|
Any
person who has become entitled to a share or shares in consequence of the
death, incompetence or bankruptcy of any member may, instead of being
registered himself, request in writing that some person to be named by him
be registered as the transferee of such share or shares and such request
shall likewise be treated as if it were a
transfer.
|
6.5
|
What
amounts to incompetence on the part of a person is a matter to be
determined by the court having regard to all the relevant evidence and the
circumstances of the case.
|
7
|

of Own Shares
|
7.1
|
Subject
to Article 27 of these Articles, the directors may, on behalf of the

cancel or hold such shares as treasury shares. Shares may be
purchased or otherwise acquired in exchange for newly issued shares in the
Company.
|
7.2
|
The
directors shall not, unless permitted pursuant to the Act, purchase,
redeem or otherwise acquire any of the Company's own shares unless
immediately after such purchase, redemption or other
acquisition:
|

|
the
value of the Company's assets exceeds it liabilities;
and
|
(b)
|
the
Company is able to pay its debts as they fall

|
The
directors may dispose of any shares held as treasury shares on such terms
and conditions as they may from time to time

Notice
of Meetings of Members
|
9.1
|
The
directors may convene meetings of the members of the Company at such times
and in such manner and places (within or outside the British Virgin
Islands) as the directors consider necessary or desirable, and they shall
convene such a meeting upon the written request of members entitled to
exercise at least thirty (30) percent of the voting rights in respect of
the matter for which the meeting is requested. Meetings of members shall
take place at least annually (the “Annual
Meeting”).
|
9.2
|
Not
less than seven (7) days' notice specifying at least the place, the day
and the hour of the meeting and general nature of the business to be
conducted shall be given in the manner hereinafter mentioned to such
persons whose names on the date the notice is given appear as members in
the share register of the Company and are entitled to vote at the
meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a meeting of members
held in contravention of the requirement to give notice is valid if
members holding a ninety (90) percent majority
of:
|
(a)
|
the
total voting rights on all the matters to be considered at the meeting;
or
|
(b)
|
the
votes of each class or series of shares where members are entitled to vote
thereon as a class or series together with an absolute majority of the
remaining votes,
|
9.3
|
The
inadvertent failure of the directors to give notice of a meeting to a
member or the fact that a member has not received a notice that has been
properly given, shall not invalidate the
meeting.
|
10
|
Proceedings
at Meetings of Members
|
10.1
|
No
business shall be transacted at any meeting of members unless a quorum of
members is present at the time when the meeting proceeds to
business. A quorum shall consist of the holder or holders
present in person or by proxy entitled to exercise at least fifty (50)
percent of the voting rights of the shares of each class or series of
shares entitled to vote as a class or series thereon and the same
proportion of the votes of the remaining shares entitled to vote
thereon.
|
10.2
|
A
member of the Company shall be deemed to be present at a meeting of
members if:
|
(a)
|
he
or his proxy participates by telephone or other electronic means;
and
|
(b)
|
all
members and proxies participating in the meeting are able to hear each
other.
|
10.3
|
If,
within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting, a quorum is
not present, the meeting shall be
dissolved.
|
10.4
|
A
member may attend a meeting of members personally or be represented by a
proxy who may speak and vote on behalf of the
member.
|
10.5
|
The
instrument appointing a proxy shall be produced at the place appointed for
the meeting before the time for holding the meeting at which the person
named in such instrument proposes to vote. An instrument
appointing a proxy shall be in such form as the Chairman of the meeting
shall accept as properly evidencing the wishes of the member appointing
the proxy, but must be in writing under the hand of the appointer unless
the appointer is a corporation or other form of legal entity (other than
one or more individuals holding as joint owner) in which case the
instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing under the hand of an
individual duly authorised by such corporation or legal entity to execute
the same.
|
10.6
|
At
every meeting the members present shall choose someone of their number to
be the chairman (the "Chairman"). If
the members are unable to choose a Chairman for any reason, then the
person representing the greatest number of voting shares present at the
meeting shall preside as Chairman.
|
10.7
|
The
Chairman may, with the consent of the meeting, adjourn any meeting from
time to time, and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted
at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the
meeting from which the adjournment took
place.
|
10.8
|
At
any meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided
on a show of hands by a simple majority of those members (or their duly
appointed proxies) entitled to vote and voting on the resolution, unless a
poll is (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands)
demanded:
|
(a)
|
by
the Chairman; or
|
(b)
|
by
any member present in person or by proxy and holding not less than one
tenth of the total voting shares issued by the Company and having the
right to vote on such resolution.
|
10.9
|
Unless
a poll be so demanded, a declaration by the Chairman that a resolution
has, on a show of hands been carried, and an entry to that effect in the
book containing the minutes of the proceedings
of the Company, shall be sufficient evidence of the fact, without proof of
the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against
such resolution.
|
10.10
|
If
a poll is duly demanded it shall be taken in such manner as the Chairman
directs, and the result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution
of the meeting at which the poll
was demanded. The demand for a poll may be withdrawn, at the
discretion of the Chairman.
|
10.11
|
On
a poll, every holder of a voting share present in person or by proxy shall
have one vote for every voting share of which he is the holder which
confers the right to a vote on the
resolution.
|
10.12
|
In
the case of an equality of votes, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, the
Chairman of
the meeting at which the show of hands takes place, or at which the poll
is demanded, shall be entitled to a second or casting
vote.
|
10.13
|
Subject
to the Memorandum or these Articles, an action that may be taken by
members of the Company at a meeting of members may also be taken by
Written Resolution.
|
10.14
|
If
a committee is appointed for any member who is of unsound mind, that
member may vote by such committee.
|
11
|

Held Shares
|
11.1
|
Where
shares are registered in the names of joint
owners:
|
(a)
|
each
registered owner may be present in person or by proxy at a meeting of
members and may speak as a member;
|
(b)
|
if
only one of them is present in person or by proxy, he may vote on behalf
of all of them; and
|
(c)
|
if
two or more are present in person or by proxy, they must vote as
one. If more than one joint owner votes in person or by proxy
at any meeting of members or by Written Resolution, the vote of the joint
owner whose name appears first among such voting joint holders in the
share register shall alone be
counted.
|
12
|
Corporations
Acting by Representatives at
Meetings
|
|
Any
corporation or other form of corporate legal entity which is a member of
the Company may by resolution of its directors or other governing body
authorise such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any
meeting of the members or any class of members of the Company, and the
person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on
behalf of the corporation which he represents as that corporation could
exercise if it were an individual member of the
Company.
|
13
|
Appointment
and Removal of Directors

13.1
|
The
first director or directors shall be appointed by the registered agent of
the Company. Thereafter, the directors shall be appointed as
follows:
|
(a)
|
subject
to the provisions of Article 27, any existing director(s) shall be
designated as a Class C Director for a term expiring at the Company's

additional Class A, Class B and Class C directors, as necessary. The
directors in Class A shall be elected for a term expiring at the first
Annual Meeting of Members, the directors in Class B shall be elected for a
term expiring at the second Annual Meeting of Members and the directors in
Class C shall be elected for a term expiring at the third Annual Meeting
of Members. Commencing at the first Annual Meeting of Members, and at each
annual meeting thereafter, directors elected to succeed those directors
whose terms expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the
third succeeding annual meeting of members after their election. Except as
the Act may otherwise require, in the interim between annual meetings of
members or special meetings of members called for the election of
directors and/or the removal of one or more directors and the filling of
any vacancy in that connection, newly created directorships and any
vacancies in the Board of Directors, including unfilled vacancies
resulting from the removal of directors for cause, may be filled by the
vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, although
less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining
director;
|
(b)

Notwithstanding
the foregoing Article, if the Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary, a
director of the Company may, when exercising powers or performing duties

director shall be given not less than three (3) business days' (being full
business days in the place of the director's residence) notice of a
meeting of the directors, save that a meeting of directors held on less
notice is valid if a majority of the directors entitled to vote at the
meeting have waived the notice of the meeting; and, for this purpose, the
presence of a director at the meeting shall be deemed to constitute waiver
on his part (unless he objects in writing before or at the
meeting).
|
18.3
|
The
inadvertent failure to give notice of a meeting to a director, or the fact
that a director has not received the notice shall not invalidate the
meeting.
|
18.4
|
Any
director who is a body corporate may appoint any person its duly
authorised representative for the purpose of representing it at meetings
of the directors and of transacting any of the business of the
directors.
|
18.5
|
A
meeting of the directors is duly constituted for all purposes if at the
commencement of the meeting there are present in person or by alternate
not less than one-third of the total number of directors with a minimum of
two (2).
|
18.6
|
If
within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is
not present, the meeting shall be
dissolved.
|
18.7
|
A
director of the Company shall be deemed to be present at a meeting of the
board if:
|
(a)
|
he
or his alternate participates by telephone or other electronic means;
and
|
(b)
|
all
directors and alternates participating in the meeting are able to hear
each other.
|
18.8
|
The
directors may elect a chairman (the "Chairman of the Board")
of their meeting and determine the period for which he is to hold
office. If no such Chairman of the Board is elected, or if at
any meeting the Chairman of the Board is not present at the time appointed
for holding the meeting, the directors present may choose one of their
number to be Chairman of the Board for the meeting. If the
directors are unable to choose a Chairman of the Board, for any reason,
then the longest serving director present at the meeting shall preside as
the Chairman of the Board.

Questions
arising at any meeting of directors shall be decided by a majority of
votes. In case of an equality in votes the Chairman of the
Board shall have a second or casting
vote.
|
18.10
|
A
resolution approved by a majority of the directors for the time being
entitled to receive notice of a meeting of the directors or of a committee
of the directors and taking the form of a Written Resolution shall be as

memorandum of all matters requiring a resolution of the
directors. Such note or memorandum shall constitute sufficient
evidence of such resolution for all
purposes.

Indemnification
and Insurance
|
19.1
|
Subject
to the provisions of the Act and the subsequent provisions of this
Article, the Company may indemnify against all expenses, including legal
fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and
reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or
investigative proceedings any person
who:
|
(a)
|
is
or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a
director of the
Company; or
|
(b)
|
is
or was, at the request of the Company, serving as a director of, or in any
other capacity is or was acting for, another company or a partnership,
joint venture, trust or other
enterprise.
|
19.2
|
This
Article applies only to a person who has acted honestly and in good faith
and in what he believed to be the best interests of the Company and, in
the case of criminal proceedings, the person had no reasonable cause to
believe that his conduct was unlawful. The Company shall not indemnify a
person who has not so acted, and any indemnity given to such a person is
void and of no effect. A director acts in the best interests of the
Company if he acts in the best interests
of:
|
(a)
|
the
Company’s holding company; or
|
(b)
|
a
shareholder or shareholders of the
Company;
|
19.3
|
The
termination of any proceedings by any judgement, order, settlement,
conviction or the entering of a nolle prosequi does
not, by itself, create a presumption that the person did not act honestly
and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Company or
that the person had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful.
|
19.4
|
Expenses,
including legal fees, incurred by a director in defending any legal,
administrative or investigative proceedings may be paid by the Company in
advance of the final disposition of such proceedings upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of the director to repay the amount if it
shall ultimately be determined that the director is not entitled to be
indemnified by the Company in accordance with this
Article.
|
19.5
|
Expenses,
including legal fees, incurred by a former director in defending any
legal, administrative or investigative proceedings may be paid by the
Company in advance of the final disposition of such proceedings upon
receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the former director to repay
the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the former director
is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company in accordance with this
Article and upon such other terms and conditions, if any, as the Company
deems appropriate.
|
19.6
|
The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted
pursuant to, this Article is not exclusive of any other rights to which
the person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be
entitled under any agreement, resolution of members, resolution of
disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to acting in the person’s
official capacity and as to acting in another capacity while serving as a
director of the Company.
|
19.7
|
The
Company may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any person who
is or was a director of the Company, or who at the request of the Company
is or was serving as a director of, or in any other capacity is or was
acting for, another body corporate or a partnership, joint venture, trust
or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against the person and
incurred by the person in that capacity, whether or not the Company has or
would have had the power to indemnify the person against the liability
under the foregoing Article.

directors.

|
A
contract may be entered into by the Company as
follows:

to be in writing and under seal, may be entered into by or on behalf of

by or on behalf of the Company by a director or an authorised agent of the
Company, and may be varied or discharged in the same
manner;
|
(b)
|
a
contract that, if entered into by an individual, would be required by law
to be in writing and signed, may be entered into by or on behalf of the
Company in writing and signed by a person acting under the express or
implied authority of the company, and may be varied or discharged in the
same manner; and
|
(c)
|
a
contract that, if entered into by an individual, would be valid although
entered into orally, and not reduced to writing, may be entered into
orally by or on behalf of the Company by a person acting under the express
or implied authority of the Company, and may be varied or discharged in
the same manner.
|
20.3
|
Notwithstanding
the foregoing Article, an instrument is validly executed by the Company as
a deed, or an instrument under seal, if it is
either:
|
(a)
|

Company and/or such other person who is authorised by the Memorandum or
Articles to witness the application of the Company’s seal;

|
Subject
to the provisions of the Act, the directors of a Company may, by
Resolution of Directors, authorise a distribution by the Company at a
time, and of an amount, and to any members they think fit if they are
satisfied, on reasonable grounds that, immediately after the distribution,
the value of the Company's assets will exceed the Company's liabilities
and the Company is able to pay its debts as they fall
due.
|
21.2
|
No
distribution shall be paid on those shares which are held by the Company
as treasury shares at the date of declaration of the
distribution.
|
21.3
|
The
directors may, before recommending any distribution, set aside out of the
profits of the Company such sums as they think proper as a reserve or
reserves which shall, at their discretion, either be employed in the
business of the Company or be invested in such investments as the
directors may from time to time think
fit.
|
21.4
|
If
several persons are registered as joint holders of any share, any of them
may give effectual receipt for any distribution or other monies payable on
or in respect of the share.

|
27
|
Business
Combination
|
27.1
|
The
following provisions 27.2 through 27.5 and Article 13.1(a) and (b) shall
terminate upon the consummation of any "Business Combination," and may not
be amended during the "Target Business Acquisition Period." A
"Business Combination" shall mean the acquisition by the Company, whether
by merger, share capital exchange, asset or share acquisition or other
similar type of transaction, of an operating business ("Target Business").
The "Target Business Acquisition Period" shall mean the period commencing
from the effectiveness of the registration statement filed in connection
with the initial public offering ("IPO") of the Company’s parent
corporation, Alyst Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation
(“Alyst”) up to and including the first to occur of (a) a Business
Combination; or (b) the Termination Date (defined
below).
|
27.2
|
Prior
to the consummation of any Business Combination, the Company shall submit
such Business Combination to its shareholders for approval regardless of
whether the Business Combination is of a type which normally would require
such shareholder approval under the Act. In the event that a majority of
the IPO Shares (defined below) cast at the meeting to approve the Business
Combination are voted for the approval of such Business Combination, the
Company shall be authorized to consummate the Business Combination;
provided that the Company shall not consummate any Business Combination if
the holders of 30% or more of the IPO Shares exercise their redemption
rights described in Article 27.3
below.
|
27.3
|
In
the event that a Business Combination is approved in accordance with the
above Article 27.2 and is consummated by the Company, any shareholder of
the Company holding Ordinary Shares in the IPO ("IPO Shares") who voted
against the Business Combination may, contemporaneously with such vote,
demand that the Company redeem his IPO Shares into cash. If so demanded,
the Company shall, promptly after consummation of the Business
Combination, redeem such shares into cash at a per share redemption price
equal to the quotient determined by dividing (i) the amount in the Trust
Fund (as defined below), inclusive of any interest thereon, calculated as
of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business
Combination, by (ii) the total number of IPO Shares. "Trust Fund" shall
mean the trust account established by Alyst at the consummation of Alyst's
IPO and into which a certain amount of the net proceeds of the IPO are
deposited.
|
27.4
|
In
the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination by
29 June 2009 (the "Termination Date"), the officers of the Company shall
take all such action necessary to liquidate and dissolve the Company as
soon as reasonably practicable. In the event that the Company is so
wound-up and subsequently liquidated, only the holders of IPO Shares shall
be entitled to receive pro rata liquidating distributions and the Company
shall pay no liquidating distributions with respect to any other shares of
the Company.
|
27.5
|
A
holder of IPO Shares shall be entitled to receive distributions from the
Trust Fund only in the event of a liquidation of the Company or in the
event he demands redemption of his shares in accordance with Article 27.3
above. In no other circumstances shall a holder of IPO Shares have any
right or interest of any kind in or to the Trust
Fund.
