Item 2.Identity and Background.

 

(a)      ZHOU Pengwu, Seefar Global Holdings Limited (“Seefar”), Pengai Hospital Management Corporation (“Pengai”), and Shengli Family Limited (“Shengli”) are collectively referred to herein as “Reporting Persons”, and each, a “Reporting Person”. This Schedule 13D is being filed jointly on behalf of the Reporting Persons. A Joint Filing Agreement between the Reporting Persons is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

 

Dr. Zhou Pengwu and Ms. Ding Wenting are spouses. Pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), and the rules promulgated thereunder, Dr. Zhou Pengwu and Ms. Ding Wenting may be deemed to be a group, and each member of such group may be deemed to beneficially own all of the Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the other member constituting such group. However, each of Dr. Zhou Pengwu and Ms. Ding Wenting expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of any Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the other.

 

References are made to the Form 6-K filed by the Issuer on July 20, 2022.

On July 20, 2022, Jiechuang, Wanda, ADV, Seefar and Jubilee entered into a co-sale agreement, pursuant to which ADV, Seefar and Jubilee hold the right to co-sale with Jiechuang and Wanda should any of Jiechuang or Wanda proposes to transfer any shares in the Issuer.

 

Based on the transactions described above and in the Form 6-K filed by the Issuer on July 20, 2022, the Reporting Persons, Ms. Ding Wenting, Jubilee, Wanda, Jiechuang and ADV may be deemed to constitute a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act and the rules promulgated thereunder. As a member of a group, each Reporting Person may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with respect to, and therefore beneficially own, the shares beneficially owned by members of the group as a whole. However, each of the Reporting Persons expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of any Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by Ms. Ding Wenting, Jubilee, Wanda, Jiechuang or ADV.

Item 3.Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

The Issuer was incorporated by Dr. Zhou Pengwu and Ms. Ding Wenting on May 27, 2011 and Seefar was incorporated by Dr. Zhou Pengwu solely in British Virgin Islands on April 16, 2014. Dr. Zhou Pengwu transferred 19,466,700 shares of the Issuer to Seefar on May 20, 2014 with a consideration of US$1.00 per share. Pengai was incorporated by Dr. Zhou Pengwu and Ms. Ding Wenting in British Virgin Islands on May 30, 2011. Dr. Zhou Pengwu and Ms. Ding Wentign hold 51% and 49% of shares respectively from its inception to present. Dr. Zhou Pengwu transferred 1,443,300 shares of the Issuer to Pengai on May 20, 2014 with a consideration of US$1.00 per share. The Issuer allotted 5,940,452 shares with zero consideration to Shengli on June 1, 2019.

 

On December 8, 2016, Pengai, Seefar and Jubilee, issued exchangeable notes at principal amounts of approximately US$1.3 million, US$6.4 million and US$6.2 million, respectively, or an aggregate of approximately US$13.9 million, to ADV. As a result of the automatic conversion of the exchangeable notes to the Issuer’s series B preferred shares and the re-designation as ordinary shares immediately prior to the completion of the Issuer’s initial public offering, (i) the number of ordinary shares beneficially owned by Seefar decreased to 16,122,965 on September 30, 2019; and (ii) the number of ordinary shares beneficially owned by Pengai decreased to 3,220,717 on September 30, 2019.

 

The Issuer established Pengai Employees Trust pursuant to a declaration of trust dated June 17, 2019 among the Issuer, as the settlor, Zebra Trust Company (Cayman) Limited, as the trustee of the purpose trust, and Dr. Zhou Pengwu, as the other initial enforcer, to enable Shengli to operate and administer the Issuer’s employee share scheme. Upon the satisfaction of the vesting conditions and request by the relevant grantees, Shengli will transfer the Ordinary Shares underlying the exercised share options to the relevant grantees.

 

Dr. Zhou Pengwu used his personal funds and others to complete the transactions for the subscription of the shares of the Company. Each of Seefar and Pengai used its own working capital to complete the transactions for the subscription of the shares of the Company.
