This Amendment No. 4 (“Amendment No. 4”) 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”), Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) filed with the SEC on February 21, 2020 and Amendment No. 3 filed with the SEC on April 1, 2020 (“Amendment No. 3,” and together with the Original Schedule 13D, Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2 and this Amendment No. 4, this “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”).
This Schedule 13D shall be deemed to amend and incorporate herein the Schedule 13D filed by Sailing Capital Overseas Investments Fund, L.P. with the SEC on February 14, 2018 (the "Sailing Capital Original Schedule 13D"), as amended on February 21, 2020 (the Sailing Capital Amendment No. 1) and April 1, 2020 (the “Sailing Capital Amendment No. 2” and together with the Sailing Capital Original Schedule 13D and the Sailing Amendment No. 1, the “Sailing Capital Schedule 13D”).
This Schedule 13D shall be deemed to amend and incorporate herein the Schedule 13D filed by Winsor Capital Limited with the SEC on February 3, 2020 (the " Winsor Capital Original Schedule 13D"), as amended on February 21, 2020 (the Winsor Capital Amendment No. 1) and April 1, 2020 (the “Winsor Capital Amendment No. 2” and together with the Winsor Capital Original Schedule 13D and the Winsor Capital Amendment No. 1, the “Winsor Capital Schedule 13D”).
The Reporting Person(s), as such terms are defined, in each of the Sailing Capital Schedule 13D and Winsor Capital Schedule 13D, respectively (collectively, the “Sailing Capital and Winsor Capital Reporting Persons”) and all information relating to such Sailing Capital and Winsor Capital Reporting Persons disclosed, in each of the Sailing Capital Schedule 13D and Winsor Capital Schedule 13D, respectively, and all other information reported therein is hereby incorporated into this Schedule 13D.
All references to “Reporting Persons” in this Schedule 13D shall be deemed to include the Sailing Capital and Winsor Capital Reporting Persons.
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 4 have the meanings set forth in the Original Schedule 13D, Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2 or Amendment No. 3. This Amendment No. 4 amends Items 4, 5, 6 and 7 as set forth below.
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows: | |
On June 24, 2020, GIC, Casdin Capital, TF Capital, Mr. Liu, Ms. Zhang, Mr. Yao, Mr. Dai, Dangdai, Mission Right, Wealth Map, Earls Mill, Mr. Pan, Mr. Zhou, OPEA (all of the foregoing collectively, the “Continuing Consortium Members”) and Hillhouse Bio entered into a termination agreement (“Termination Agreement”), pursuant to which Hillhouse Bio has terminated its involvement and participation in the Transaction and withdrawn from the Consortium Agreement as of the date of the Termination Agreement. | |
On June 24, 2020, Yunfeng Fund III, L.P. (“Yunfeng Capital”) and the Continuing Consortium Members entered into an amended and restated consortium agreement (the “A&R Consortium Agreement”) which superseded the Consortium Agreement in its entirety on substantially the same terms as the Consortium Agreement to provide for, among other things, the inclusion of Yunfeng Capital (the “New Consortium Member”) as a new member of the Buyer Consortium. | |
For the purpose of the Schedule 13D, and where the context so provides, all references to the “Buyer Consortium” after June 24, 2020 shall be deemed to include the New Consortium Member and shall no longer include Hillhouse Bio. | |
References to the A&R Consortium Agreement in this Amendment No. 4 are qualified in their entirety by reference to the A&R Consortium Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 9 and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. | |
References to the Termination Agreement in this Amendment No. 4 are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Termination Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10 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. 4 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. 4 is calculated based upon an aggregate of 19,391,343 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 4, 2020 as disclosed in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 6, 2020. |
(b) | See rows (7) through (10) of the cover pages to this Amendment No. 4 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 A&R Consortium Agreement, 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 7,932,743 shares of outstanding Common Stock (including an aggregate of 811,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of options, 39,013 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 38.5% 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 9:
| A&R Consortium Agreement, dated June 24, 2020 by and among the New Consortium Member and the Continuing Consortium Members. |
Exhibit 10: | Termination Agreement, dated June 24, 2020 by and among Hillhouse Bio and the Continuing Consortium Members. |
Exhibit 11: | Joint Filing Agreement. |

Section 10.9 Governing Law and Venue.
(a) This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed by and in accordance with the Laws of New York without regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof.
(b) Any Actions arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement shall be submitted to the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) and resolved in accordance with the rules of the ICC (the “Rules”). The place of arbitration shall be New York City, New York. The official language of the arbitration shall be English and the tribunal shall consist of three (3) arbitrators (each, an “Arbitrator”). The claimant(s), irrespective of number, shall nominate jointly one (1) Arbitrator; the respondent(s), irrespective of number, shall nominate jointly one (1) Arbitrator; and a third (3rd) Arbitrator will be nominated jointly by the first two (2) Arbitrators and shall serve as chairman of the arbitration tribunal. In the event the claimant(s) or respondent(s) or the first two (2) Arbitrators shall fail to nominate or agree the joint nomination of an Arbitrator or the third (3rd) Arbitrator within the time limits specified by the Rules, such Arbitrator shall be appointed promptly by the ICC International Court of Arbitration. The arbitration tribunal shall have no authority to award punitive or other punitive-type damages. The award of the arbitration tribunal shall be final and binding upon the disputing parties. Any party to an award may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of such award and, for purposes of the enforcement of such award, the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction and waive any defenses to such enforcement based on lack of personal jurisdiction or inconvenient forum.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties hereby consent to and agree that in addition to any recourse to arbitration as set out in Section 10.9(b), any Party may, to the extent permitted under the rules and procedures of the ICC, seek an interim injunction or other form of relief from the ICC as provided for in its Rules. Such application shall also be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of New York.
Section 10.10 Specific Performance. The Parties hereto agree that the obligations imposed on them in this Agreement are special, unique and of an extraordinary character and irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.

Each Party hereto agrees that such Party will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that (i) any other Party has an adequate remedy at law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.
Section 10.11 Limitation on Liability. The obligations of each Party under this Agreement are several (and not joint or joint and several).
Section 10.12 Termination with respect to Hillhouse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of the Parties agrees that effective as of the Agreement Date, Hillhouse has terminated its participation in the Transaction, is not a member of the Consortium and shall not have any rights or obligations under this Agreement as a Consortium Member, whether accruing prior to or after the Agreement Date, other than as expressly set forth in the Termination Agreement.

No provision of this Agreement may be waived, discharged or terminated other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Party against whom the enforcement of such waiver, discharge or termination is sought.

12. Assignment. No Third Party Beneficiaries. The rights and obligations of each Party shall not be assigned without the prior consent of the other Parties. This Agreement shall be binding upon the respective heirs, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns of the Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as giving any Person, other than the Parties and their heirs, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns any right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
13. No Partnership or Agency. The Parties are independent and nothing in this Agreement constitutes a Party as the trustee, fiduciary, agent, employee, partner or joint venture of the other Party.
14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and all counterparts taken together shall constitute one document. The Parties irrevocably and unreservedly agree that this Agreement may be executed by way of electronic signatures and the Parties agree that this Agreement, or any part thereof, shall not be challenged or denied any legal effect, validity and/or enforceability solely on the ground that it is in the form of an electronic record.
15. Governing Law and Venue.
(a) This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed by and in accordance with the Laws of New York without regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof.
(b) Any Actions arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement shall be submitted to the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) and resolved in accordance with the rules of the ICC (the “Rules”). The place of arbitration shall be New York City, New York. The official language of the arbitration shall be English and the tribunal shall consist of three (3) arbitrators (each, an “Arbitrator”). The claimant(s), irrespective of number, shall
nominate jointly one (1) Arbitrator; the respondent(s), irrespective of number, shall nominate jointly one (1) Arbitrator; and a third (3rd) Arbitrator will be nominated jointly by the first two (2) Arbitrators and shall serve as chairman of the arbitration tribunal. In the event the claimant(s) or respondent(s) or the first two (2) Arbitrators shall fail to nominate or agree the joint nomination of an Arbitrator or the third (3rd) Arbitrator within the time limits specified by the Rules, such Arbitrator shall be appointed promptly by the ICC International Court of Arbitration. The arbitration tribunal shall have no authority to award punitive or other punitive-type damages. The award of the arbitration tribunal shall be final and binding upon the disputing parties. Any party to an award may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of such award and, for purposes of the enforcement of such award, the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction and waive any defenses to such enforcement based on lack of personal jurisdiction or inconvenient forum.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties hereby consent to and agree that in addition to any recourse to arbitration as set out in Section 15(b), any Party may, to the extent permitted under the rules and procedures of the ICC, seek an interim injunction or other form of relief from the ICC as provided for in its Rules. Such application shall also be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of New York.
16. Limitation on Liability. The obligations of each Party under this Agreement are several (and not joint or joint and several).
17. Notices. Any notice, request, instruction or other document to be provided hereunder by any Party to another Party shall be in writing and delivered personally or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or by facsimile, overnight courier or electronic mail, to the address provided under such other Party’s signature page to the Original Consortium Agreement, or to such other address or facsimile number or electronic mail address as such Party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to the other Parties hereto. All such notices, requests and other communications shall be deemed received on the date of receipt by the recipient thereof if received prior to 5:00 p.m. on a Business Day in the place of receipt. Otherwise, any such notice, request or communication shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day in the place of receipt.
