EXECUTION VERSION
STOCK PURCHASE
AGREEMENT
STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this
“Agreement”) made as of this 22
nd day of June, 2009 between and among Pantheon
China Acquisition Corp. (“Buyer” or
“Pantheon”) and the signatories on the execution page
hereof (each a “Seller” and collectively the
“Sellers”).
WHEREAS, Pantheon was organized for the purpose
of acquiring, through a stock exchange, asset acquisition or other
similar business combination, or control, through contractual
arrangements, an operating business that has its principal
operations located in the People’s Republic of
China (“Business Combination”).
WHEREAS, Pantheon consummated an initial public
offering in December 2006 (“IPO”) in connection with
which it raised net proceeds of approximately $32.7 million that
were placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”)
maintained by Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company
(“Continental”) pending the consummation of a Business
Combination, or the dissolution and liquidation of Pantheon, in the
event it is unable to consummate a Business Combination by December
14, 2008.
WHEREAS, Pantheon, following approval by its
stockholders, amended its certificate of incorporation (the
“Extension Amendment”), to extend the time in which it
must complete a Business Combination before it is required to be
liquidated and grant conversion rights to holders of its public
common stock in connection with such vote to approve the Extension
Amendment.
WHEREAS, in connection with the Extension
Amendment, Pantheon entered into a certain Put and Call Option
Agreement with Modern Develop Limited (“Modern”), Mark
D. Chen and the Sellers, pursuant to which Modern has the right to
purchase from the Sellers certain shares of common stock of
Pantheon sold in the initial public offering owned by it and the
Sellers has the right to sell such shares to Modern (the “Put
and Call Agreement”).
WHEREAS, Pantheon, through its wholly owned
subsidiary, Pantheon Arizona Corp. (“Pantheon
Arizona”), has agreed to acquire (the
“Acquisition”) substantially all (93.94%) of the
outstanding ordinary shares of China Cord Blood Services
Corporation pursuant to certain agreements (the “Transaction
Agreements”).
WHEREAS, the approval of the Acquisition is
contingent upon, among other things, the affirmative vote of
holders of majority of Pantheon’s outstanding shares of
common stock which are present and entitled to vote at the
meeting.
WHEREAS, pursuant to certain provisions in
Pantheon’s certificate of incorporation, a holder of shares
of common stock of Pantheon issued in the IPO may, if s/he/it votes
against the Acquisition, demand that Pantheon convert such shares
into cash (“Conversion Rights”).
WHEREAS, the Acquisition is subject to the
exercise of Conversion Rights by holders of less than 20% of the
Pantheon shares of common stock issued in the IPO.
WHEREAS, the Sellers have agreed to sell to
Buyer and Buyer has agreed to purchase from the Sellers the shares
of common stock set forth on the execution page of this Agreement
(“Shares”) for the purchase price per share set forth
thereon (which is equal to the per Share value of the Trust
Account) (“Purchase Price Per Share”) and for the
aggregate purchase price set forth thereon (“Aggregate
Purchase Price”).
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the
premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the
parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:
1.
Purchase . The Sellers hereby sell to Buyer and Buyer hereby
purchases from the Sellers at the Closing (as defined in Section
2.1) the Shares at the Purchase Price per Share, for the Aggregate
Purchase Price.
2.
Agreement not to Convert; Appointment of Attorney in Fact
. In further consideration of the Aggregate Purchase
Price, provided that the representations and warranties made by
Buyer in Section 4.1 hereof are true and correct on the date of the
stockholder meeting in connection with the approval of the
Acquisition with the same effect as though made on such date and
Buyer has complied in all material respects with its obligations
set forth in this Agreement through such date, each Seller hereby
agrees it has not and will not exercise its Conversion
Rights. Because the record date to vote on the proposals
set forth in the proxy statement included in the Registration
Statement on Form S-4 filed by Pantheon Arizona with the U.S.
Securities Exchange Commission (the “Proxy Statement”)
has passed, Buyer would not be entitled to vote the Shares at the
shareholders meeting contemplated by the Proxy
Statement. Accordingly, solely with respect to the vote
for the Acquisition and related proposals as set forth in the Proxy
Statement, each Seller hereby irrevocably appoints Mark D. Chen,
with full power of substitution, to the full extent of such
Seller’s rights with respect to the Shares (and any and all
other Shares or securities or rights issued or issuable in respect
thereof) to vote in such manner as each such attorney and proxy or
his substitute shall in his sole discretion deem proper, and
otherwise act (including without limitation pursuant to written
consent) with respect to all the Shares sold hereunder which such
Seller is entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders (whether
annual or special and whether or not an adjourned meeting) of
Pantheon held on or prior to June 30, 2009. This
proxy is coupled with an interest in the Shares and is
irrevocable. The execution of this Agreement shall
revoke, without further action, all prior proxies granted by the
Sellers at any time with respect to such Shares (and any such other
Shares or other securities) and no subsequent proxies will be given
(and if given will be deemed not to be effective) with respect
thereto by the Sellers.
2.1
Closing . The closing of the purchase of the Shares
(“Closing”) by Buyer will occur on or before June 30,
2009, but in no event may the Closing be later than the date the
Buyer’s Trust Account is liquidated in connection with the
consummation of the Acquisition (the “Closing
Date”). The Closing shall be effected delivery
versus payment via the Depository Trust Company. It
shall be a condition to the obligation of Buyer on the one hand and
the Sellers on the other hand, to consummate the transfer of the
Shares contemplated hereunder that the other party’s
representations and warranties are true and correct on the Closing
Date with the same effect as though made on such date, unless
waived in writing by the party to whom such representations and
warranties are made.
2.2 At
or before the Closing, the Sellers shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to Buyer appropriate instructions for book entry transfer
of ownership of the Shares from the Sellers to Buyer. In
addition, within two business days of the date of this Agreement,
the Sellers shall provide the Buyer with a true and correct copy of
the voting information form with respect to the Shares held by the
Sellers indicating the financial institution through which such
shares are held and the control number provided by Broadridge
Financial Solutions regarding the voting of such Shares or written
confirmation of such information as would appear on the voting
information form.
2.3 At
or before the Closing, Buyer shall deliver or cause to be delivered
to the Sellers payment by wire transfer of immediately available
funds the Aggregate Purchase Price in accordance with Section 1 of
this Agreement.
2.4 In
the event payment of the Aggregate Purchase Price has not been
received on July 2, 2009, then commencing on July 3, 2009 Buyer
shall pay to the Sellers in immediately available funds an amount
equal to the lesser of (i) 3.0% of the Aggregate Purchase Price per
month (pro-rated on a daily basis based on the date when payment is
required and the date such payment is made) or (ii) the highest
lawful rate, for each Share held by the Sellers from the date such
payment was required to be made through the date such payment is
actually made.
3.
Representations and Warranties of the Sellers .
3.1 Each
Seller hereby represents and warrants to Buyer on the date hereof
and on the date of the Closing that:
(a)
Sophisticated Seller . The Seller is
sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the
risks and benefits attendant to the sale of Shares to
Buyer.
(b)
Independent Investigation . The Seller, in making the
decision to sell the Shares to Buyer, has not relied upon any oral
or written representations or assurances from Pantheon, Pantheon
Arizona, or any of their officers, directors or employees or any
other representatives or agents of Buyer or Pantheon Arizona,
except as are contained in this Agreement. The Seller
