Introductory Note

 

This Schedule 13D is being filed by Puyi Inc. (“Puyi” or the “Reporting Person”), a company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k) promulgated by the SEC under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

 

Item 1. Security and Issuer

 

This statement on Schedule 13D relates to the ordinary share, par value $0.001 per share (“Ordinary Shares”), including Ordinary Shares represented by American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”, each representing 20 Ordinary Shares) of FANHUA Inc. (the “Issuer” or the “Company”). The Issuer’s ADSs are listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “FANH.” The Issuer’s principal executive office is located at 60/F, Pearl River Tower, No. 15 West Zhujiang Road, Guangzhou, Guangdong 510623, People’s Republic of China.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background

 

The principal business and office address of the Reporting Person is 61F, Pearl River Tower, No. 15 Zhujiang West Road, Zhujiang New Town, Tianhe, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, People’s Republic of China.

 

Puyi Inc. is a holding company whose ordinary shares, represented by ADSs, are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market. Through its various subsidiaries and affiliated entities, Puyi operates as a leading third party wealth management service provider in China.

 

During the last five years, to the knowledge of Puyi, none of (a) any executive officer or director of the Reporting Person; (b) any person controlling the Reporting Person; or (c) any executive or director of any corporation or other person ultimately in control of the Reporting Person, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and, as a result of such proceeding, is or was subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

The information set forth in Items 2, Item 4 and Item 6 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

On December 27, 2023, the Reporting Person entered into share exchange agreements (the “Agreements”) with certain of FANHUA’s shareholders (collectively “FANHUA Participating Shareholders”), following separate negotiation with each of the FANHUA Participating Shareholders. Pursuant to the Agreements, the Reporting Person issued a total of 284,113,314 ordinary shares of the Reporting Person, par value US$0.001 per share, to FANHUA Participating Shareholders, in exchange for 568,226,628 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer beneficially owned by them (“Exchange Shares”) (the “Transaction”). The exchange ratio is 2 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer per ordinary share of the Reporting Person. Upon closing of the Transaction on December 29, 2023, the Reporting Person acquires 50.1% of the equity interests of the Issuer and FANHUA Participating Shareholders in turn collectively own 76.7% of the equity interests of the Reporting Person.

 

The Reporting Person acquired the Exchange Shares from FANHUA Participating Shareholders for the purpose of long-term investment. The Reporting Person expects to evaluate, on an ongoing basis, the Issuer’s financial condition and prospects and its interests in, and intentions with respect to, the Issuer and the investment in the securities of the Issuer, which review may be based on various factors, including but not limited to the Issuer’s business and financial condition, results of operation and prospects, general economic and industry conditions, the securities markets in general. Accordingly, the Reporting Person reserves the right to change its intentions, as it deems appropriate, at any time. In particular, the Reporting Person may, from time to time, in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, increase its holdings in the Issuer or dispose of all or a portion of the securities of the Issuer that the Reporting Person now owns or may hereafter acquire. The Reporting Person may be in contact with members of the Issuer’s management, the members of the Issuer’s board of directors, other significant shareholders of the Issuer and others regarding matters relating to its investment.

 

Other than as expressly set forth in this Item 4 or below, the Reporting Person has no plans or proposals as of the date of this filing which relate to, or would result in, any of the actions enumerated in Item 4 of the instructions to this Statement. The Reporting Person may, however, adopt in the future such plans or proposals subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.

 

The foregoing description of the Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of a form of the Agreements, which is filed as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and which is incorporated herein by reference.
