This Amendment No. 7 (the Amendment) hereby amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D, originally filed on December 11, 2000 (as heretofore amended and supplemented, the Schedule 13D).
All defined terms shall have the same meaning as previously ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D, unless otherwise noted. In this Amendment, the determination of beneficial ownership, beneficial interest, beneficially held, beneficially owned, and other similar terms are based on Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act and related rules and regulations promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The filing of this amended Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that the Reporting Persons (defined below) are, for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Exchange Act and other purposes, the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this statement.
Item 1. Security and Issuer
Item 1 to the Schedule 13D remains unchanged.
Item 2. Identity and Background
Item 2 to the Schedule 13D remains unchanged, except for the following changes to information set forth in Schedule 1 to Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D, filed on April 4, 2005 (Amendment No. 6):
Mr. Li Tzar Kai, Richard beneficially owns 199,242,824 Shares.
Mr. Yuen Tin Fan, Francis resigned as a director of each of PCIL, PCGCI and Anglang, and as Deputy Chairman of PCCW Limited, effective June 5, 2006.
Mr. Simon Murray resigned as a director of PCRD effective April 26, 2005.
Ms. Yang Mun Tak Marjorie resigned as a director of PCRD effective April 26, 2005.
Mr. Alexander Anthony Arena retired as a director of PCIHL effective April 21, 2006.
Mr. Alexander Anthony Arena was appointed as a director of PCIL effective May 25, 2006.
Item 3: Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
Item 3 to the Schedule 13D remains unchanged.
Item 4: Purpose of Transactions
Item 4 to the Schedule 13D remains unchanged.
Item 5: Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Item 5 to the Schedule 13D is supplemented by adding the following paragraphs after the last paragraph of Item 5.
Since the date of Amendment No. 6, the Issuer has allotted and issued new Shares from time to time in connection with the exercise of share options under the Issuers share option schemes. The approximate aggregate percentage of the Shares reported beneficially owned by each Reporting Person herein is therefore based on 6,739,776,817 Shares outstanding, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as of July 17, 2006 according to information provided by the Issuer.
The 3.5% guaranteed convertible bonds due 2005 issued by PCCW Capital Limited (the Convertible Bonds) matured and were repaid in full in December, 2005. As a result, following the maturity and repayment of the Convertible Bonds (i) PCGH, OSHL, OSIML, OSML, the Ocean Unit Trust and the Starlite Unit Trust are each no longer deemed under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act to beneficially own the 803,148 Shares (constituting approximately 0.01% of the Shares outstanding) into which the Convertible Bonds held by PCGH were
15
convertible, or the 2,007,870 Shares (constituting approximately 0.03% of the Shares outstanding) into which the Convertible Bonds held by PCI were convertible; and (ii) PCRD, PCIHL, PCIL, PCGCI, Anglang, PCI and BVIL are each no longer deemed under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act to beneficially own the 2,007,870 Shares (constituting approximately 0.03% of the Shares outstanding) into which the Convertible Bonds held by PCI were convertible.
Following the maturity and repayment of the Convertible Bonds, PCIHL, PCI and BVIL are no longer deemed under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act to beneficially own any Shares, and this Amendment No. 7 constitutes the final amendment to Schedule 13D with respect to each of them.
In addition, as a result of the maturity and repayment of the Convertible Bonds, the number of Shares that certain of the Reporting Persons are deemed to beneficially own under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act is revised as follows: (i) PCGH, OSHL, OSIML, OSML, the Ocean Unit Trust and the Starlite Unit Trust are each deemed under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act to beneficially own a total of 1,547,127,587 Shares (constituting approximately 23.0% of the Shares outstanding); and (ii) PCRD, PCIL, PCGCI and Anglang are each deemed under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act to beneficially own a total of 1,526,773,301 Shares (constituting approximately 22.7% of the Shares outstanding).
Item 6: Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
Item 6 to the Schedule 13D is supplemented by adding the following paragraphs after the last paragraph of Item 6.
PCRD entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement (the Agreement) on July 9, 2006 with Mr. Francis P.T. Leung and Fiorlatte Limited (the Purchaser), pursuant to which PCRD has agreed to sell and Fiorlatte Limited has agreed to purchase up to 1,526,773,301 ordinary share(s) of HK$0.25 each in the capital of the Company (the Shares) (each, a Sale Share), representing approximately 22.65% of the issued share capital of PCCW Limited (the Company) as of July 17, 2006. The consideration payable under the Agreement is HK$6.00 per Sale Share, being an aggregate amount of HK$9,160,639,806 payable if all of the Sale Shares are purchased by the Purchaser under the Agreement.
PCD intends to make a special payment by way of voluntary conditional payment (the Special PCD Payment) to the holders of the Public Shares (as defined below), in an amount equal to 75.33% (representing the approximate aggregate interest of PCGH in PCRD) of the difference (the Premium) between (1) the aggregate value of the total number of Sale Shares, calculated on the basis of the Sale price of HK$6.00 per Sale Share; and (2) the aggregate value of the total number of Sale Shares, calculated on the basis of a price of HK$4.80 per Sale Share. The price of HK$4.80 was the closing price per Share on June 16, 2006, which was the last trading day prior to the Companys announcement of June 19, 2006, being the first announcement concerning a potential sale of substantially all of the telecommunications and media-related assets of the Company.
It is expected that the Premium derived will result in a Special PCD Payment in the range of HK$0.33 to HK$0.38 per Public Share. The Public Shares for this purpose do not include (i) the Shares held or beneficially owned by China Netcom (as defined below) and/or its affiliates as of July 10, 2006, (ii) the Sale Shares or (iii) Shares held at the record date for the Special PCD Payment by PCGH, Mr. Li Tzar Kai, Richard and/or Pacific Century Group entities. The amount of the Special PCD Payment per Public Share would be correspondingly reduced by the issue of any new Shares by the Company between the Latest Practicable Date (as defined below) and the record date for payment of the Special PCD Payment.
The Special PCD Payment is conditional on the First Payment (as defined below) being made under the Agreement and on China Netcom formally agreeing that the Shares held by China Netcom do not qualify for payment of the Special PCD Payment.
Subject to the conditions for payment of the Special PCD Payment having been satisfied, the Special PCD Payment will be paid by PCD shortly after the First Payment has been made to PCRD under the Agreement. The First Payment is required to be made to PCRD under the Agreement on the tenth business day following the day on which the last in time of the Conditions (as defined below) is satisfied or waived in accordance with the Agreement or such other date as the parties to the Agreement may agree (the First Payment Date).
