This filing constitutes an “exit filing” for the Reporting Person.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
  Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
   
  On June 24, 2020, GIC, Casdin Capital, TF Capital, Mr. Liu, Ms. Zhang, Mr. Yao, Mr. Dai, Dangdai, Mission Right, Wealth Map, Earls Mill, Mr. Pan, Mr. Zhou, OPEA ("Continuing Consortium Members") and Hillhouse Bio entered into a termination agreement (“Termination Agreement”), pursuant to which Hillhouse Bio withdrew from the Buyer Consortium. Accordingly, the Consortium Agreement has terminated with respect to Hillhouse Bio.
   
  References to the Termination Agreement in this Amendment No. 4 are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Termination Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 7 and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
   
  Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
   
(a) See rows (11) and (13) of the cover pages to this Amendment No. 4 for the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock and percentages of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person. The percentage used in this Amendment No. 4 is calculated based upon an aggregate of 19,391,343 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 4, 2020 as disclosed in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 6, 2020.

See rows (7) through (10) of the cover pages to this Amendment No. 4 for the number of shares of Common Stock as to which the Reporting Person has the sole or shared power to vote or direct the vote and sole or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition. 

   
  Due to the termination of the Consortium Agreement with respect to Hillhouse Bio, Hillhouse may no longer be deemed to have formed a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act with the other members of the Buyer Consortium that beneficially own shares of Common Stock.
   
(c) The Reporting Person has not transacted in any shares of Common Stock in the last 60 days.
   
(d) No person other than the Reporting Person is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock reported herein.
   
(e) As As of June 24, 2020, pursuant to the Termination Agreement, the Reporting Person may no longer be deemed to be a member of a group beneficially owning more than five percent of the Common Stock of the Issuer. Accordingly, this filing constitutes an "exit filing" for the Reporting Person.

WHEREAS, Hillhouse desires to terminate its involvement and participation in the Transaction and withdraw from the Original Consortium, and the Continuing Consortium Members desire to terminate the Original Consortium Agreement solely with respect to Hillhouse and enter into an Amended and Restated Consortium Agreement among the Continuing Consortium Members (and such additional parties as they may decide) (such agreement, as the “A&R Consortium Agreement”) to amend and restate the Original Consortium Agreement in its entirety, in each case effective as of the Agreement Date.

WHEREAS, in connection with the execution of this Agreement and the A&R Consortium Agreement, Hillhouse may be required to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission an amendment to its ownership report on Schedule 13D to disclose its entry into this Agreement and certain additional information.

  6 

8.       Amendments; Waivers. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended or otherwise modified other than by an instrument in writing signed by each of the Parties. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, discharged or terminated other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Party against whom the enforcement of such waiver, discharge or termination is sought. No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

9.       Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any previous oral or written agreements or arrangements among them or between any of them relating to its subject matter.

10.       Further Assurances. Each Party shall use all reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

11.       Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, it shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, in order to achieve the intent of the Parties to the maximum extent possible. In any event, the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, including that provision, in any other jurisdiction.

12.       Assignment. No Third Party Beneficiaries. The rights and obligations of each Party shall not be assigned without the prior consent of the other Parties. This Agreement shall be binding upon the respective heirs, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns of the Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as giving any Person, other than the Parties and their heirs, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns any right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

13.       No Partnership or Agency. The Parties are independent and nothing in this Agreement constitutes a Party as the trustee, fiduciary, agent, employee, partner or joint venture of the other Party.

14.       Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and all counterparts taken together shall constitute one document. The Parties irrevocably and unreservedly agree that this Agreement may be executed by way of electronic signatures and the Parties agree that this Agreement, or any part thereof, shall not be challenged or denied any legal effect, validity and/or enforceability solely on the ground that it is in the form of an electronic record.

15.       Governing Law and Venue.

(a)       This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed by and in accordance with the Laws of New York without regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof.

(b)       Any Actions arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement shall be submitted to the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) and resolved in accordance with the rules of the ICC (the “Rules”). The place of arbitration shall be New York City, New York. The official language of the arbitration shall be English and the tribunal shall consist of three (3) arbitrators (each, an “Arbitrator”).

  7 

nominate jointly one (1) Arbitrator; the respondent(s), irrespective of number, shall nominate jointly one (1) Arbitrator; and a third (3rd) Arbitrator will be nominated jointly by the first two (2) Arbitrators and shall serve as chairman of the arbitration tribunal. In the event the claimant(s) or respondent(s) or the first two (2) Arbitrators shall fail to nominate or agree the joint nomination of an Arbitrator or the third (3rd) Arbitrator within the time limits specified by the Rules, such Arbitrator shall be appointed promptly by the ICC International Court of Arbitration. The arbitration tribunal shall have no authority to award punitive or other punitive-type damages. The award of the arbitration tribunal shall be final and binding upon the disputing parties. Any party to an award may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of such award and, for purposes of the enforcement of such award, the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction and waive any defenses to such enforcement based on lack of personal jurisdiction or inconvenient forum.

(c)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties hereby consent to and agree that in addition to any recourse to arbitration as set out in Section 15(b), any Party may, to the extent permitted under the rules and procedures of the ICC, seek an interim injunction or other form of relief from the ICC as provided for in its Rules. Such application shall also be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of New York.

16.       Limitation on Liability. The obligations of each Party under this Agreement are several (and not joint or joint and several).
