INTRODUCTION

This amendment No. 2 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) Newater Technology, Inc., a company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (the “Company”), the issuer of the registered common shares, par value of US$$0.001 per share (each, a “Share” and collectively, the “Shares”); (b) Crouching Tiger Holding Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Parent”); (c) Green Forest Holding Limited, a company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, all of the issued and outstanding shares of which are owned by the Parent (the “Merger Sub”); (d) Mr. Yuebiao Li, the Company’s chairman of the board of directors, and chief executive officer (“Mr. Li”); (e) Tigerwind Group Limited, a company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and an investment holding company wholly owned and controlled by Mr. Li; (f) Pure Blue Holding Limited, a company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and an investment holding company wholly owned and controlled by Mr. Li; (g) Ms. Zhuo Zhang, the Company’s Vice Chairman of the board of directors, and chief financial officer (“Ms. Zhang”); (h) Gooden Sunrise Holding Limited, a company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and an investment holding company wholly owned and controlled by Ms. Zhang; (i) Mr. Xiangqian Sui (“Mr. Sui”); (j) Forwater Holdings Limited, a company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and an investment holding company wholly owned and controlled by Mr. Sui; and (k) Yancoal International (Holding) Co., Limited, a private company limited by shares organized under the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administration Region (“Yancoal”).

On September 29, 2020, the Parent, the Merger Sub, and the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) providing for the merger of the Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving company after the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each of the Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive US$3.65 per Share surrendered for cancellation, in each case, in cash, without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes, except for the following excluded Shares (the “Excluded Shares”): (i) Shares beneficially owned by Mr. Li (through Tigerwind Group Limited), Ms. Zhang, and Mr. Sui (through Forwater Holding Limited) (collectively, the “Rollover Shareholders”), and (ii) Shares owned by holders of Shares who have validly exercised and not effectively withdrawn or lost their appraisal rights (the “Dissenting Shares”) pursuant to Section 179 of the BVI Business Companies Act, as amended (the “BVI Companies Act”), and (iii) Shares (if any) owned by the Company or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (or held in the Company’s treasury). Each Excluded Share (other than the Dissenting Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, will be cancelled and will cease to exist, and no merger consideration will be delivered with respect thereto. Each Dissenting Shareholder will be entitled to receive only the payment resulting from the procedure in Section 179 of the BVI Companies Act with respect to Shares owned by such Dissenting Shareholder.

The Merger remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including the authorization and approval by an affirmative vote of holders of Shares representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding Shares of the Company, present and voting in person or by proxy as a single class at an extraordinary general meeting of the Company’s shareholders which will be convened to consider the authorization and approval of the Merger Agreement, the plan of merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger.

The Company will make available to its shareholders a proxy statement (the “proxy statement”, a 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.
