Item 8.01.
Other Events.
Emerson Radio Corp. (the Company) previously disclosed that on May 31,
2011, the High Court of Hong Kong appointed Fok Hei Yu (who is also known by the anglicized name Vincent Fok), formerly a director and Chairman of the Board of the Company, and Roderick John Sutton, both of FTI Consulting (Hong Kong) Limited
(FTI), as Joint and Several Provisional Liquidators (the Provisional Liquidators) over Grande Holdings Limited (In Liquidation) (Grande), which, based on its latest 13D/A filed on July 9, 2014, indirectly has
the power to vote and direct the disposition of 15,243,283 shares, or approximately 56.2%, of the outstanding common stock of Emerson. Accordingly, as of May 31, 2011, the directors of Grande no longer had the ability to exercise control over
Grande or the power to direct the voting and disposition of the 15,243,283 shares beneficially owned by Grande. Instead, Mr. Fok and Mr. Sutton, as Provisional Liquidators over Grande, had such power.
Based on public announcements by Grande dated May 26, 2016 (the Grande Announcements), the Company understands that on May 26, 2016, the
Provisional Liquidators over Grande were released and discharged by the Hong Kong Court, the winding up of Grande was permanently stayed, Grande has fulfilled all of the resumption conditions imposed on Grande by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong
Limited (HKEX) and Grande has made application to the HKEX for the resumption of trading in its shares on the HKEX with effect from May 30, 2016 (the Grande Resumption). The resumption of trading of Grandes shares
on HKEX occurred on May 30, 2016.
Furthermore, based on the Grande Announcements and information received from a company associated with Grande, the
Company also understands that upon the completion of the Grande Resumption, certain companies associated with Mr. Christopher Ho, who served as the Companys Chairman of the Board until November 2013, will hold, in the aggregate, a 72.26%
shareholding in Grande and will therefore beneficially control the voting and disposition of the 15,243,283 shares of the Company beneficially owned by Grande through certain of Grandes subsidiaries.
Also, based on the Grande Announcements, the Company understands that, effective May 30, 2016, the Companys Chief Executive Officer,
Mr. Duncan Hon, was appointed Chief Executive Officer of Grande and an executive director of Grande.
On May 29, 2016, John Batchelor, a Senior
Managing Director in the Corporate Finance and Restructuring practice of FTI, resigned as Chairman of the Board and a director of the Company with immediate effect. In addition, on May 31, 2016, Mark Manski resigned as Chairman of the Special
Committee and a director of the Company effective close of business May 31, 2016. The Company intends to ensure that its Board of Directors remains properly constituted according to all regulatory and listing requirements, consistent with its
status as a controlled company under NYSE MKT rules.
