Item 1.	Security and Issuer
	This Schedule 13D relates to the Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Ordinary Shares") of BeiGene, Ltd., an exempted Cayman Islands company (the "Issuer"), the principal executive offices of which are located at c/o Mourant Ozannes Corporate Services (Cayman) Limited, 94 Solaris Avenue, Camana Bay, Grand Cayman KY1-1108, Cayman Islands.

 

Item 2.	Identity and Background
	This Schedule 13D is filed by Hillhouse Capital Management, Ltd., an exempted Cayman Islands company ("HCM" or the "Reporting Person"). HCM acts as the sole management company of Hillhouse Fund II, L.P. ("Fund II").  Fund II owns BGN Holdings Limited ("BGN"). HCM is hereby deemed to be the sole beneficial owner of, and to control the voting power of, the Ordinary Shares represented by American Depositary Shares held by BGN.
	This Schedule 13D/A reflects an internal reorganization of the Reporting Person and certain of its affiliates effective as of January 1, 2019.  Hillhouse Capital Advisors, Ltd., an affiliate of the Reporting Person, is separately filing a Schedule 13D/A with respect to the Ordinary Shares held by (and represented by American Depositary Shares held by) certain of their affiliates.
	The principal business of HCM is investment management and its business address is Suite 2202, 22nd Floor, Two International Finance Centre, 8 Finance Street, Central Hong Kong. The directors of HCM are Jun Shen and Colm O'Connell. Mr. Shen and Mr. O'Connell are employees of HCM and Mr. Lei Zhang ("Mr. Zhang") is the President and Chief Investment Officer of HCM.
	During the past five years neither the Reporting Person nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Person, any of its directors or executive officers has been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) 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 United States federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
	The filing of this statement should not be construed as an admission that the Reporting Person is, for the purposes of Section 13 of the Act, the beneficial owner of the Ordinary Shares reported herein.

 

Item 3.	Source and Amounts of Funds or Other Consideration
	BGN used internally generated funds to purchase securities of the Issuer. BGN used a total of approximately $15,731,794 in the aggregate, excluding brokerage commissions, to acquire the Ordinary Shares represented by American Depositary Shares reported in this Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4.	Purpose of Transaction
	The Reporting Person acquired the Ordinary Shares represented by American Depositary Shares to which this Schedule 13D relates for investment purposes in the ordinary course of business, and not with the purpose nor with the effect of changing or influencing the control or management of the Issuer.  An employee of the Reporting Person, Yi Qingqing, serves as a director on the board of directors of the Issuer.
	Except as disclosed in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Person currently has no plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any transaction, event or action enumerated in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Person and its representatives may from time to time engage in discussions with members of management, and the Board, other current or prospective shareholders, industry analysts, existing or potential strategic partners or competitors, investment and financing professionals and other third parties regarding a variety of matters relating to the Issuer, which may include, among other things, the Issuer’s business, management, capital structure and allocation, corporate governance, Board composition and strategic alternatives and direction, as well as pursue other plans or proposals that relate to or could result in any of the matters set forth in clauses (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
	The Reporting Person intends to review its investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the outcome of any discussions referenced above, the Issuer's financial position, results and strategic direction, actions taken by the Issuer's management and the Board, price levels of the Securities (as defined below), other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Person, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Person may in the future take such actions with respect to its investment in the Issuer as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, exchanging information with the Issuer or other third parties pursuant to appropriate confidentiality or similar agreements; proposing changes in the Issuer's operations, management, Board, governance or capitalization; acquiring additional equity, debt, notes, instruments or other securities of the Issuer (collectively, "Securities") or disposing of some or all of the Securities beneficially owned by it, in public market or privately negotiated transactions; entering into financial instruments or other agreements that increase or decrease the economic exposure of BGN with respect to its investment in the Issuer and/or otherwise changing the Reporting Person's intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
