INTRODUCTORY NOTE

 

This amendment No. 7 (this “Amendment No. 7”) relates to the common stock, par value $0.001 each (the “Common Stock”), issued by SciClone Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (the “Issuer”). This Amendment No. 7 is being filed jointly by GL Trade Investment Limited (“GL Trade”), GL China Opportunities Fund L.P. (“GL Fund”), GL Capital Management GP L.P. (“GL Capital”), GL Capital Management GP Limited (“GL Management”), GL Partners Capital Management Limited (“GL Partners”), and Mr. Zhenfu Li (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) pursuant to their Joint Filing Agreement dated as of November 19, 2012, filed with the Schedule 13D as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

This Amendment No. 7 amends and supplements the statement on the Schedule 13D filed on November 19, 2012, November 21, 2013, August 17, 2015, August 21, 2015, February 9, 2016, February 22, 2016 and November 14, 2016, respectively (the “Schedule 13D”), on behalf of the Reporting Persons with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as provided herein, this Amendment No. 7 does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Schedule 13D.

 

ITEM 4.PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:

 

On February 17, 2017, GL Management, on behalf of the Consortium, entered into a joinder agreement with Avengers Limited and Boying Investments Limited, pursuant to which each of Avengers Limited and Boying Investments Limited became a party to the Consortium Agreement as a member of the Consortium. References to “Consortium” after February 17, 2017 shall include Avengers Limited and Boying Investments Limited. As of the date of this Amendment No. 7, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, neither does Avengers Limited, Boying Investments Limited, nor any of their respective affiliates beneficially own any shares of Common Stock.

 

Avengers Limited, established in Cayman Islands, is wholly owned by CDH Fund V, L.P., which is one of the five USD-denominated funds that CDH Investments manages. Established in 2002, CDH Investments is one of the largest alternative asset management institutions today with over US$20 billion in assets under management. CDH’s private equity arm is one of the most influential private equity funds focused on China. Currently, it manages five USD-denominated funds and two RMB-denominated funds, with cumulative assets under management in excess of US$10.5 billion.

 

Boying Investments Limited, established in British Virgin Islands, is a wholly owned limited company of Mr. Weihang Zhu. Boying Investments Limited is the USD-denominated overseas investment platform of Mr. Weihang Zhu.

 

On February 17, 2017, each of ABG Management Limited and Jade Park Investments Limited delivered a termination notice to GL Management, pursuant to which each withdrew from the Consortium with immediate effect from such date. References to “Consortium” after February 17, 2017 shall not include ABG Management Limited and Jade Park Investments Limited. Upon such withdrawal, any “group” (as such term is used in Rule 13d-5(b)) that may have existed among any or all of the Reporting Persons, on the one hand, and either or both of ABG Management Limited or Jade Park Investments Limited, on the other hand, was terminated.

 

The Consortium intends to continue pursuing the Acquisition.
