Item 8.01 Other Events.
On June 13, 2016, TAL International Group, Inc. (“TAL”) issued a press release announcing that it intends to convene and immediately adjourn the special meeting of TAL stockholders for approval of the proposed combination with Triton Container International Limited (“Triton”) to be held on June 14, 2016. The special meeting will be adjourned until the special meeting is reconvened at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on July 12, 2016 at the Crowne Plaza White Plains, 66 Hale Avenue, White Plains, New York 10601. The record date for the special meeting will remain April 25, 2016.
The press release also announces that the Board of Directors of TAL has determined to waive the contingency relating to the payment of the previously announced $0.54 per share special dividend, declared by TAL on May 26, 2016, so that such dividend is no longer contingent upon TAL stockholder approval of the combination with Triton. As a result, the $0.54 per share special dividend will be paid on June 15, 2016 to holders of TAL common stock as of the close of business on June 8, 2016. TAL has been informed by the New York Stock Exchange that TAL’s common stock will trade ex-dividend commencing on June 15, 2016.
A copy of TAL’s press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
