Wei-Wu He, Huiying Memorial Foundation, WEALTH FAITH INVESTMENT LTD., Qijing Li, Xiao Fan Wang, Jing Zhu, Kensington Trust Singapore Limited ato IS&P (First Names Singapore) Retirement Fund — FN45, Kevin Ying Hong and EVER PRECISE INVESTMENTS LIMITED (collectively, the “Other Rollover Shareholders”) are collectively referred to herein as the “Rollover Shareholders,” ​(c) Dr. Yan, Dr. Jiao, Mr. Xu, Dr. Hu and Ms. Zhang are collectively referred to herein as the “Management Filing Persons,” and (d) FHP Holdings, Super Sail, Genetron Discovery, Genetron Alliance and Eugene Health are collectively referred to herein as the “Management Holding Entities.” The Buyer Group, WSG Entities, Management Filing Persons and Management Holding Entities are collectively referred to herein as the “Participants.”
On October 11, 2023, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company after the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), (i) each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and cease to exist, in consideration and exchange for the right to receive US$0.272 in cash per Share without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”), (ii) each ADS issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than ADSs representing the Excluded Shares, if any, will represent the right to receive US$4.08 in cash per ADS, without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes (already adjusted to reflect the change to the ADS ratio, the “Per ADS Merger Consideration”), except for (x) (a) 277,149,985 Shares (including Share represented by ADSs) held by the Rollover Shareholders as of October 11, 2023 (collectively, the “Rollover Shares”), which will be cancelled and cease to exist without payment of consideration as contemplated by and in accordance with the rollover and support agreement entered into between Parent and each of the Rollover Shareholders (the “Support Agreement”), (b) Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs) held by Parent, Merger Sub and any of their respective affiliates, (c) Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs) held by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or held in the Company’s treasury, and (d) 9,912,500 Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs) recorded under the name of the Bank of New York Mellon as a member in the register of members of the Company and reserved for issuance and allocation pursuant to 2019 Genetron Health Share Incentive Plan and 2019 Genetron Health Share Incentive Scheme (collectively, the “Company Share Plans”), in each case for (b), (c) and (d), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, which will be cancelled and cease to exist at the Effective Time without payment of any consideration or distribution therefor; and (y) Shares (the “Dissenting Shares”) that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by shareholders who have validly exercised and have not effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to dissent from the Merger, or dissenter rights, pursuant to Section 238 of the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands (the “Cayman Islands Companies Act”), which will be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange for the right to receive the payment of fair value of such Shares in accordance with Section 238 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act. The ADS holders will pay any applicable taxes, stamp duty and other government charges due to or incurred by The Bank of New York Mellon, (the “ADS Depositary”), in connection with the distribution of the Per ADS Merger Consideration and the cancellation of the ADSs surrendered, including the Depositary’s ADS cancellation fee of US$0.05 per ADS pursuant to the terms of the deposit agreement dated as of June 18, 2020 by and among the Company, the ADS Depositary, and the holders and beneficial owners of ADSs issued thereunder.
In addition to the foregoing, (i) each holder of an option (each, a “Company Option”) to purchase Shares granted under the Company Share Plans that remains outstanding at the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested), will be assumed by Parent and converted into an employee incentive award of Parent, on terms and conditions reasonably determined by Parent that comply with the Company Share Plans and the award agreement(s) with respect to such Company Option; (ii) each holder of a Company restricted share unit (each, a “Company RSU”) granted under the Company Share Plans that remains outstanding at the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested), will be assumed by Parent and converted into an employee incentive award of Parent, on terms and conditions reasonably determined by Parent that comply with the Company Share Plans and the award agreement(s) with respect to such Company RSU; and (iii) each holder of a Company restricted share (each, a “Company Restricted Share”) granted under the Company Share Plans that remains outstanding at the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested), will be assumed by Parent and converted into
 
2

 
an employee incentive award of Parent, on terms and conditions reasonably determined by Parent that comply with the Company Share Plans and the award agreement(s) with respect to such Company Restricted Share.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each independent director of the Company that holds Company Options and/or Company Restricted Shares, whether vested or unvested, that are cancelled at the Effective Time will, in exchange therefor, be paid by the surviving company or one of its subsidiaries, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time pursuant to the Company’s ordinary payroll practices (but in any event no later than thirty days after the Effective Time), a cash amount (without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes) determined as follows: (a) in the case of Company Options, an amount of cash equal to (i) the excess, if any, of (x) the Per Share Merger Consideration over (y) the applicable exercise price, multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares underlying such Company Options, and (b) in the case of Company Restricted Shares, an amount of cash equal to (i) the excess, if any, of (a) the Per Share Merger Consideration over (b) the applicable exercise price, multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares underlying such Company Restricted Shares.
The Merger remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including obtaining the requisite approval of the shareholders of the Company. The Merger Agreement, the plan of merger required to be filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands in connection with the Merger (the “Plan of Merger”) and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Plan of Merger, including the Merger (collectively, the “Transactions”), must be authorized and approved by a special resolution (as defined in the Cayman Islands Companies Act) of the Company passed by an affirmative vote of holders of Shares representing at least two-thirds of the votes cast by such holders as, being entitled to do so, present and voting in person or by proxy as a single class at the extraordinary general meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Pursuant to the Support Agreement, the Rollover Shareholders have agreed to vote all of the Rollover Shares and any other Shares or equity securities of the Company acquired, whether beneficially or of record, by such Rollover Shareholders after the date thereof and prior to the Effective Time in favor of the authorization and approval of the Merger Agreement, the Plan of Merger and the Transactions, which, as of the date hereof, collectively represent approximately 59.7% of the voting power of the total issued and outstanding Shares (excluding for the purpose of this calculation, the Shares they may acquire through the exercise of Company share incentive awards within 60 days of the date hereof). Accordingly, based on 464,453,220 Shares (excluding 9,912,500 Shares recorded under the name of the Bank of New York Mellon) expected to be issued and outstanding on February 9, 2024, the record date for voting Shares at the extraordinary general meeting (the “Share Record Date”), 32,485,495 Shares owned by the shareholders (including ADS holders) of the Company other than the Rollover Shares as of the Share Record Date must be voted in favor of the execution of the Merger Agreement and the Plan of Merger, and the consummation of the Transactions in order to satisfy the requirement of the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes cast by such holders as, being entitled to do so, present and voting in person or by proxy as a single class at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company’s shareholders in accordance with Section 233(6) of the Cayman Islands Companies Act and the memorandum and articles of association of the Company, assuming all shareholders of the Company will be present and voting in person or by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting and the Rollover Shareholders will vote all Rollover Shares and newly acquired Shares in favor of such special resolutions. To the knowledge of the Company, the Rollover Shareholders and certain other shareholders of the Company affiliated to the Rollover Shareholders own more than 32,485,495 Shares that are not Rollover Shares, and they may vote those Shares in favor of the execution of the Merger Agreement and the Plan of Merger, and the consummation of the Transactions. Therefore, there is a high likelihood that the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Plan of Merger and the consummation of the Transactions will be approved in the EGM.
The Company will make available to its shareholders a proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement,” a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)-(1) to this Transaction Statement), relating to the extraordinary general meeting of the Company’s shareholders, at which the Company’s shareholders will consider and vote upon, among other proposals, a proposal to authorize and approve the Merger Agreement, the Plan of Merger and the Transactions. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Transaction Statement shall have the meanings given to them in the Proxy Statement.
