This Amendment No. 3 ("Amendment No. 3") amends the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on November 13, 2019 (the "Original Schedule 13D"), Amendment No.1 filed with the SEC on January 30, 2020 ("Amendment No. 1") and Amendment No. 2 filed with the SEC on February 21, 2020 ("Amendment No. 2," and together with the Original Schedule 13D, Amendment No.1 and this Amendment No. 3, the "Schedule 13D") with respect to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock") of Cellular Biomedicine Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 3 have the meanings set forth in the Original Schedule 13D, Amendment No. 1 or Amendment No. 2. This Amendment No. 3 amends Items 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 as set forth below. As described in Item 4 below, Maplebrook is no longer a member the Buyer Consortium and is accordingly no longer a Reporting Person on this Schedule 13D.
Item 3. | Source and Amounts of Funds or Other Consideration |
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended with the removal of the following: | |
Maplebrook used a total of approximately $11,540,799 in the aggregate, excluding brokerage commissions, to acquire the 1,104,933 shares of Common Stock reported in row (11) of this Schedule 13D as beneficially owned by Maplebrook. |
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows: | |
On March 30, 2020, the Consortium Agreement was amended (the "Consortium Agreement Amendment No. 1") to add Velvet Investment Pte. Ltd. ("GIC") and Casdin Partners Master Fund, L.P. ("Casdin Capital" and together with GIC, the "New Members") to the Buyer Consortium and to remove Maplebrook from the Buyer Consortium by terminating the Consortium Agreement with respect to Maplebrook. | |
The Consortium Agreement Amendment No. 1 was entered into by and among Dangdai, Mission Right, Mr. Pan, OPEA, Mr. Zhou, Wealth Map, Earls Mill and the New Members (all of the foregoing collectively, the "Additional Consortium Members"), Maplebrook and the Initial Consortium Members. | |
For the purposes of the Schedule 13D, and where the context so provides, all references to the "Buyer Consortium" shall be deemed to include the New Members and shall no longer include Maplebrook. | |
References to Consortium Agreement Amendment No. 1 in this Amendment No. 3 are qualified in their entirety by reference to Consortium Agreement Amendment No. 1 attached hereto as Exhibit 8 and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. | |
Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: | |
(a) | See rows (11) and (13) of the cover pages to this Amendment No. 3 for the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock and percentages of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons. The percentage used in this Amendment No. 3 is calculated based upon an aggregate of 19,355,292 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of February 24, 2020 as disclosed in the Issuer's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2020. |
(b) | See rows (7) through (10) of the cover pages to this Amendment No. 3 for the number of shares of Common Stock as to which the Reporting Persons have the sole or shared power to vote or direct the vote and sole or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition. |
Because of the arrangements in the Consortium Agreement (as amended by the Consortium Agreement Amendment No. 1 and as may be further amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time) and the Adherence Agreements, the Reporting Persons and the other members of the Buyer Consortium that beneficially own Common Stock may be deemed to have formed a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act. Collectively, the "group" may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 8,167,957 shares of outstanding Common Stock (including an aggregate of 811,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of options, 47,679 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock units and 358,974 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible notes held by members of the Buyer Consortium), which represents approximately 39.7% of the total shares of outstanding Common Stock (accounting for all Common Stock that would be outstanding upon exercise of all of the foregoing options, vesting of the foregoing restricted stock units and conversion of the foregoing convertible notes). Neither the filing of the Schedule 13D nor any of its contents, however, shall be deemed to constitute an admission by the Reporting Persons that they are the beneficial owners of any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by any other member of the Buyer Consortium and any of his, her or their respective affiliates for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed. | |
(c) | The Reporting Persons have not transacted in any shares of Common Stock in the last 60 days. |
(d) | No person other than each of the respective Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock reported herein. |
(e) | Not applicable. |
Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer |
Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows: | |
The Reporting Persons' response to Item 4 is incorporated by reference into this Item 6. | |
Item 7. | Material to be Filed as Exhibits |
Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows: | |
Exhibit 8: | Amendment No. 1 to the Consortium Agreement, dated March 30, 2020 by and among the Initial Consortium Members, Maplebrook and the Additional Consortium Members. |

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, the undersigned certifies that the information set forth in this Amendment No. 3 is true, complete and correct.
