INTRODUCTION

This Amendment No.5 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.
