ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

This Amendment amends and restates Item 3 of the Original Schedule 13D in its entirety as follows:


CUSIP No. 816645105   Page 8 of 12 Pages

 

“Simplot Company and the Issuer entered into a Convertible Unsecured Promissory Note on November 25, 2019 (as amended from time to time, the “Note”), having an original principal amount of $1,500,000, and which was convertible into Common Stock at any time at a conversion price of $1.31 per share of Common Stock. The Note was purchased with funds of Simplot Company held for investment purposes. On February 20, 2020, Simplot Company assigned the Note to Simplot Taiwan for no consideration. On May 26, 2020, Simplot Taiwan converted $300,000 of the principal amount of the Note into 100,000 shares of Common Stock. On January 8, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), Simplot Taiwan converted (i) $1,200,000 of the principal amount of the Note and (ii) $175,529 of accrued interest under the Note into an aggregate of 1,050,022 shares of Common Stock. As of the Effective Date, all amounts due and payable under the Note have been satisfied.

On the Effective Date, Simplot Taiwan received an additional 305,343 shares of Common Stock as a payment of interest pursuant to a Loan Agreement between the Issuer and Simplot Company dated January 8, 2019, as amended on January 16, 2021, January 14, 2022, January 13, 2023 and January 7, 2024 (the “Loan Agreement”).

Previously, Simplot Taiwan and JRS Properties (together, the “Simplot Stockholders”) received shares of Common Stock via conversion of their shares of Preferred Stock in the Issuer upon the effectiveness of the Issuer’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on December 8, 2010. Such shares of Preferred Stock were purchased with funds of Simplot Taiwan and JRS Properties held for investment purposes.

The aggregate of 2,445,299 shares of Common Stock held by Simplot Taiwan and 31,036 shares of Common Stock held by JRS Properties are collectively referred to in this Schedule 13D as the “Simplot Shares.”

This Schedule 13D also reflects in response to various Items of this Schedule 13D and in rows 8 and 13 to each of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D an aggregate of 1,148,858 shares of Common Stock held of record by Trung Tri Doan (“Doan”) and 127,141 shares of Common Stock held of record by The Trung Tri Doan 2010 GRAT (the “Doan GRAT”), of which Doan is the sole trustee (Doan and the Doan GRAT, collectively, the “Doan Stockholders” and the shares held by the Doan Stockholders, the “Doan Shares”), pursuant to the entry into a Voting Agreement dated June 3, 2024 (the “Voting Agreement”), by and among Simplot Taiwan, JRS Properties, Trung Tri Doan and the Doan GRAT.

None of the Reporting Persons or Mr. Beebe has any pecuniary interest in the Doan Shares.

This Item 3 is not applicable to Mr. Beebe.”

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

This Amendment amends and restates Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D in its entirety as follows:

“Simplot Company purchased the Note for investment purposes. Simplot Taiwan accepted receipt of the Note as assignee from Simplot Company for investment purposes, and subsequently converted the Note for investment purposes. The Simplot Stockholders entered into the Voting Agreement with the Doan Stockholders for the purpose of acting together to vote the Simplot Shares and the Doan Shares in accordance with the terms of the Voting Agreement, with the effect that (i) the Company would be considered a “controlled company” as defined by Rule 5615(c)(1) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC Rules (the “Nasdaq Rules”) as of the date of the Voting Agreement, and (ii) such parties are deemed to have formed a “group” as defined by Section 13(d)(3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 13d-5(b) promulgated thereunder,

As of the date hereof, none of the Reporting Persons or Mr. Beebe has any current plans or proposals which relate to, or would result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D, except as Mr. Simplot may be expected to consider in the course of his service on the Board of Directors of the Issuer and as the Reporting Persons may consider in their capacities as stockholders of the Issuer, together with the Doan Stockholders pursuant to the terms of the Voting Agreement, when a matter is presented by the Issuer to such Reporting Persons for a stockholder vote.


CUSIP No. 816645105   Page 9 of 12 Pages

 

The Reporting Persons reserve the right to change their plans and intentions with respect to the Issuer and may, from time to time, formulate other purposes, plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or any other actions that could involve one or more of the types of transactions or have one or more of the results described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Any action taken by the Reporting Persons may be effected at any time or from time to time, subject to any applicable limitations imposed thereon by any applicable laws and the terms of the agreements referenced herein.”

Each Simplot Shareholder and Doan Shareholder may be referred to in this Agreement individually as a “Shareholder” and collectively as the “Shareholders.”

RECITALS

A. Each Shareholder is the record owner of the shares of Common Stock of SemiLEDs Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), set forth opposite such Shareholder’s name on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Shares”).

B. The Shareholders desire to enter into this Agreement to set forth their agreements and understandings with respect to how the Shares will be voted in connection with matters presented by the Company that may come before the Shareholders.

C. By entering into this Agreement, the Shareholders acknowledge that they are forming a “group” as defined by Section 13(d)(3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 13d-5(b) promulgated thereunder, for the purpose of acting together to vote their Shares, with the effect that the Company will, as of the date of this Agreement, be considered a “Controlled Company” as defined by Rule 5615(c)(1) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC Rules (the “Nasdaq Rules”).

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Voting Provisions.

(a) The Shareholders agree that, during the term of this Agreement, the Shareholders shall act unanimously in voting their Shares and any other securities of the Company that they may hereafter acquire (“Subsequent Shares”) on the following Company matters presented by the Company to its shareholders for a vote thereon:

(i) Any amendment, alteration, or repeal of any provision of the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws;

(ii) The election of any and all directors to the Company’s Board of Directors and the removal of any director therefrom, whether with or without cause;

(iii) The approval of any merger, consolidation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets;

(iv) The decision to dissolve the Company or to wind up its affairs;

(viii) The adoption, amendment, or termination of any stock option plans or other equity incentive plans;

(ix) Any significant change in the Company’s purpose or line of business as stated in its Certificate of Incorporation which requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the Shareholders; and

(b) In the event that the Shareholders are unable to reach a unanimous decision on a matter requiring a vote in accordance with Section 1(a) above, Simplot shall possess the sole and absolute tiebreaking authority to decide such matter.

2. Manner of Voting. The voting of the Shares and Subsequent Shares pursuant to this Agreement may be effected in person, by proxy, by written consent or in any other manner permitted by applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, voting of the Shares and Subsequent Shares pursuant to the Agreement need not make explicit reference to the terms of this Agreement, except as required under applicable law.

3. Representations and Warranties. Each Shareholder hereby represents and warrants to the other Shareholders as follows:

(a) Authority and Binding Obligation.

(b) Ownership of Shares. Each Shareholder represents and warrants that such Shareholder is the legal and beneficial owner of the number of Shares of the Company set forth opposite such Shareholder’s name on Exhibit A hereto. Each Shareholder has the sole right to vote or direct the voting of such Shareholder’s respective Shares and has not entered into any voting agreement or voting trust with respect to such Shareholder’s Shares that conflicts with the obligations of such Shareholder hereunder.

(c) No Conflict. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement by each Shareholder does not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, or decree applicable to such Shareholder, or (ii) result in any breach of or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment or cancellation of, any agreement, lease, debt instrument, or other instrument to which such Shareholder is a party.

(b) to notify the other Shareholders within 24 hours of the occurrence of any material change in the facts set forth on such Shareholder’s (or such Shareholder’s Reporting Person’s) Schedule 13D (or, if amended, the most recent amendment thereto) on file with the SEC; and

(c) to otherwise comply with all applicable rules and regulations related to ownership of the Shares and Subsequent Shares, any disposition or attempted disposition of the Shares or Subsequent Shares and any acquisition or attempted acquisition of any Subsequent Shares, as set forth in the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the rules promulgated thereunder and the Nasdaq Rules.
