INTRODUCTION
This Amendment
No. 3 to Rule 13e-3 transaction statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with the exhibits hereto (this “Transaction
Statement”), is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Section 13(e)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), jointly by the following persons (each, a
“Filing Person,” and collectively, the “Filing Persons”): (a) Actions Semiconductor Co., Ltd, an
exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), the issuer
of the ordinary shares, par value $0.000001 per share (each, a “Share” and collectively, the “Shares”),
including the Shares represented by the American depositary shares, each representing six Shares (“ADSs”), that is
subject to the transaction pursuant to Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act; (b) Supernova Investment Ltd., an exempted
company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Mauritius (“Parent”); (c) Starman
Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and wholly-owned by Parent
(“Merger Sub”); (d) Surrey Glory Investments Inc., (e) Tongtong Investment Holding Co., Ltd., (f) Perfectech
Int'l Ltd., (g) Allpremier Investment Limited, (h) Octovest International Holding Co., Ltd., (i) Ventus Corporation, (j) Middlesex
Holdings Corporation Inc, (k) Rich Dragon Consultants Limited, (l) Nutronics Technology Corporation, (m) Uniglobe Securities Limited,
(n) New Essential Holdings Limited, (o) Embona Holdings (Malaysia) Limited (p) Suffolk Dragon Ventures Ltd, and (q) Top Best Development
Limited. Filing Persons (b) and (d) through (q) are collectively referred to herein as the “Buyer Group.”
On September 12, 2016,
Parent, Merger Sub and the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “merger agreement”) which included
a plan of merger required to be filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands, substantially in the form attached
as Annex C to the merger agreement (the “plan of merger”). If the merger agreement and the plan of merger are
approved and authorized by the Company’s shareholders and the other conditions to the closing of the merger (as described
below) are met, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “merger”), with the Company continuing as the
surviving company after the merger.
Under the terms of
the merger agreement, at the effective time of the merger, each outstanding Share (including Shares represented by ADSs) will be
cancelled in exchange for the right to receive $0.366 in cash without interest (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”),
and each outstanding ADS (other than any ADS that represents Excluded Shares, as defined below) will represent the right to receive
$2.20 in cash per ADS without interest (the “Per ADS Merger Consideration”), in each case, net of any applicable withholding
taxes, other than the following Shares: (a) Shares beneficially owned by the Buyer Group or any person controlled by any of them
prior to the effective time of the merger (the “Rollover Shares”); (b) Shares owned by the Company or its subsidiaries,
if any, (c) Shares owned by holders of Shares who have validly exercised and not effectively withdrawn or lost their dissenter
rights under the Companies Law (as amended) of the Cayman Islands (the “Cayman Islands Companies Law”) (the “Dissenting
Shares”), and (d) Shares reserved (but not yet issued and allocated) by the Company, immediately prior to the effective time
of the merger (including Shares held by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. in its capacity as ADS depositary (the “ADS Depositary”)),
for issuance and allocation upon the exercise of any option to purchase Shares (a “Company Option”) or restricted share
unit (a “Company RSU”) issued under the Company’s 2007 Equity Performance and Incentive Plan. Shares described
under (b) through (d) above are collectively referred to herein as the “Excluded Shares”. The ADS holders will pay
any applicable fees, charges and expenses of the ADS depositary and government charges (other than withholding taxes, if any) due
to or incurred by the ADS depositary in connection with distribution of the Per ADS Merger Consideration to holders of ADS and
the cancellation of ADSs (including any ADS cancellation or termination fees payable in accordance with the deposit agreement in
connection with the merger).
The Excluded Shares
(other than Dissenting Shares), including Excluded Shares represented by ADSs, will be cancelled and cease to exist at the effective
time of the merger, and no consideration or distribution shall be delivered with respect thereto. Dissenting Shares will be cancelled
and each holder thereof will be entitled to receive only the payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares held by them in
accordance with the provisions of the Cayman Islands Companies Law. The Rollover Shares shall remain outstanding, shall continue
to exist, and shall become validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable ordinary shares, par value of $0.000001 each, in the
surviving company.
The merger remains
subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the merger agreement, including obtaining the requisite authorization
and approval of the shareholders of the Company. In order for the merger to be completed, the merger agreement, the plan of merger
and the merger must be authorized and approved by a special resolution of the Company passed by an affirmative vote of such shareholders
representing two-thirds or more of the Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs) present and voting in person or by proxy as
a single class at the extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the Company.
The Company will make
available to its shareholders a proxy statement (the “proxy statement,” a preliminary copy of which is attached as
Exhibit (a)-(1) to this Transaction Statement), relating to the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the Company,
at which the shareholders of the Company will consider and vote upon, among other proposals, a proposal to authorize and approve
the merger agreement, the plan of merger and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger. A copy
of the merger agreement is attached to the proxy statement as Annex A and is incorporated herein by reference. As of the date
hereof, the proxy statement is in preliminary form and is subject to completion.
The cross-references
below are being supplied pursuant to General Instruction G to Schedule 13E-3 and show the location in the proxy statement
of the information required to be included in response to the items of Schedule 13E-3. Pursuant to General Instruction F
to Schedule 13E-3, the information contained in the proxy statement, including all annexes thereto, is incorporated in its
entirety herein by this reference, and the responses to each item in this Schedule 13E-3 are qualified in their entirety by
