This Amendment No. 8 is being filed jointly by Golden Meditech Stem Cells (BVI) Company Limited (“GM Stem Cells”), Golden Meditech Holdings Limited (“Golden Meditech”), Bio Garden Inc. (“Bio Garden”) and Yuen Kam (“Mr. Kam”, together with GM Stem Cells, Golden Meditech and Bio Garden, the “Reporting Persons”). The Reporting Persons have entered into a joint filing agreement, dated as of April 27, 2015, a copy of which is attached here to as Exhibit 11.

 

This Amendment No. 8 amends and supplements (i) the statement on Schedule 13D jointly filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 9, 2009 by GM Stem Cells and Golden Meditech, as previously amended and supplemented by amendments to Schedule 13D filed on June 23, 2011, September 30, 2011, April 12, 2012, May 2, 2012, October 4, 2012, July 11, 2013 and August 25, 2014 (as so amended, the “Original Schedule 13D”), and (ii) the information concerning Mr. Kam and his beneficial ownership in the Company contained in the statement on Schedule 13D jointly filed with the SEC on August 25, 2014 by Cordlife Group Limited (“Cordlife”), Magnum Opus International Holdings Limited (“Magnum”) and Mr. Kam, as previously amended and supplemented by amendments to Schedule 13D filed on October 17, 2014 and November 10, 2014 (as so amended, the “Original Kam Schedule 13D”).

 

Item 1.                   Security and Issuer.

 

Item 1 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

This Schedule 13D relates to the ordinary shares, par value US$0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), of China Cord Blood Corporation (the “Company” or “Issuer”). The Issuer’s principal executive office is located at 48th Floor, Bank of China Tower, 1 Garden Road, Central, Hong Kong S.A.R.

 

Item 2.                   Identity and Background.

 

Item 2 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

(a) – (c) and (f)

 

Golden Meditech, a Cayman Islands company, is an integrated healthcare enterprise in China. Golden Meditech currently holds 100% of the total equity interest in GM Stem Cells, a British Virgin Islands company. The address of the principal business and principal office of each of GM Stem Cells and Golden Meditech is 48th Floor, Bank of China Tower, 1 Garden Road, Central, Hong Kong S.A.R.

 

Bio Garden is a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Mr. Kam is the founder of certain discretionary trusts which own the entire issued share capital of Bio Garden. The registered office of Bio Garden is Portcullis TrustNet Chambers, PO Box 3444, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands.

 

The name, business address, present principal occupation and citizenship of each of the executive officers and directors of each of GM Stem Cells, Golden Meditech and Bio Garden, including Mr. Kam, are set forth in Schedule A hereto.

 

(d) – (e)

 

During the past five years, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best knowledge of each of the Reporting Persons, any of the persons listed on Schedule A hereto has (i) been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is 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.

 

Item 3 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end thereof:

 

It is currently anticipated that, at the price per Ordinary Share set forth in the Proposal (as defined in Item 4 below), approximately US$316 million will be expended in acquiring all of the outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Company not already owned by Golden Meditech. This amount excludes (i) the funds which may be required to acquire all of the 7% senior convertible notes of the Company, (ii) the funds which may be required to pay for certain outstanding restricted share units issued by the Company, and (iii) the costs and expenses associated with the Transaction (as defined below). It is anticipated that the Transaction will be financed with a combination of available cash resources and debt and equity capital.

 

In order to fund the Transaction, Golden Meditech proposes to conduct a conditional open offer on a fully-underwritten basis (the “Open Offer”), on the basis of one new ordinary share of Golden Meditech (the “Offer Share”) for every two existing ordinary shares of Golden Meditech to eligible shareholders of Golden Meditech with excess application at a proposed subscription price of approximately HK$1.40 per Offer Share.

 

On April 27, 2015, Golden Meditech and Bio Garden entered into a term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) relating to the Open Offer. Pursuant to the Term Sheet, subject to Bio Garden having obtained, on or before May 31, 2015, a credit facility from a financial institution in Hong Kong for the purposes of fully underwriting all of the Offer Shares to be issued under the Open Offer, the parties will enter into a legally binding conditional underwriting agreement setting out the terms and conditions of the underwriting arrangement described above. Such underwriting agreement must provide that Bio Garden’s obligation to underwrite the Open Offer is conditional upon, inter alia, Bio Garden having applied for, and obtained, a whitewash waiver under the Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers from the Executive Director of The Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong from the obligation to make a mandatory general offer for the securities of Golden Meditech not already owned or agreed to be acquired by itself or parties acting in concert with it.

 

The description of the Term Sheet in this Item 3 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Term Sheet, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 13 and is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 3.

 

Item 4.                   Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end thereof:

 

On April 27, 2015, Golden Meditech submitted a preliminary, non-binding proposal letter (the “Proposal”) to the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) in connection with the acquisition of all of the outstanding Ordinary Shares that are not already directly or indirectly owned by Golden Meditech (the “Transaction”). In the Proposal, Golden Meditech, among other things, indicated that (i) it is interested only in pursuing the Transaction and is not interested in selling its Ordinary Shares in any other transaction involving the Company, and (ii) it intends to acquire all of the 7% senior convertible notes of the Company.

 

The description of the Proposal in this Item 4 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Proposal, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 12 and is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 4.

 

6



 

If the Transaction is carried out and consummated, the Ordinary Shares will no longer be traded on the New York Stock Exchange and the Company’s obligation to file periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) would be terminated. In addition, consummation of the Transaction could result in one or more of the actions specified in clauses (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, including the acquisition or disposition of securities of the Company, a merger or other extraordinary transaction involving the Company, a change to the Board (as the surviving company in the merger), and a change in the Company’s memorandum and articles of association to reflect that the Company would become a privately held company. No assurance can be given that any proposal, any definitive agreement or any transaction relating to the Transaction will be entered into or be consummated. The Proposal provides that no binding obligation on the part of the Company or Golden Meditech shall arise with respect to the Transaction unless and until definitive agreements have been executed.

 

The Reporting Persons reserve their right to change their plans and intentions in connection with any of the actions discussed in this Item 4 including among others, the purchase price for the Transaction and the debt and/or equity financing arrangements. Any action taken by the Reporting Persons may be effected at any time or from time to time, subject to any applicable limitations imposed thereon by any applicable laws.

 

Except as set forth in this Item 4, none of the Reporting Persons or, to the best knowledge of each of the Reporting Persons, any of the persons listed on Schedule A hereto, has any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, formulate other purposes, plans or proposals regarding the Company, or any other actions that could involve one or more of the types of transactions or have one or more of the results described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 

Item 5.                   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

(a) - (b) The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of Ordinary Shares of the Company for each of the Reporting Persons as of the date of this Amendment No. 8.
