HISTORY, REORGANIZATION AND CORPORATE STRUCTURE MAJOR SHAREHOLDING CHANGES OF OUR COMPANY Our Company was incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability in the BVI on January 8, 2004, with an authorized share capital of US$50,000 divided into 50,000 shares with a par value of US$1.00 each, and later registered by way of continuation in the Cayman Islands on January 20, 2006. For subsequent shareholding changes, please refer to the section headed “Statutory and General Information – A. Further Information about Our Group – 2. Changes in the Share Capital of Our Company” in this Document. MAJOR ACQUISITION We have conducted a major acquisition during the Track Record Period, namely We Doctor HK obtained majority voting in Genea in January 2020 and subsequently increased the equity interest in Genea to 89.5% in June 2020. For other transactions we have conducted, including minority investments, none of which we consider to be material, please see note 34 to the Accountant’s Report as set out in Appendix I to this Document. In September 2018, We Doctor HK formed a consortium with Wealth Infinity Global Limited (“Wealth Infinity”) and Aldworth Equity Fund SPC on account of Aldworth Equity 1 SP and Aldworth Opportunities Fund SP (collectively, the “Aldworth Entities”) and incorporated TT Holdings Limited (“TT Holdings”) in the Cayman Islands. We Doctor HK made a capital contribution of US$5 million to TT Holdings in exchange for 7.86% of the issued share capital of TT Holdings, and the remaining share capital of TT Holdings was held by Wealth Infinity and the Aldworth Entities. Around the same time, We Doctor HK subscribed for a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) issued by TT Holdings for US$6 million and granted a loan facility (the “Loan Facility”) of US$29 million to MW Fertility Pte. Ltd. (“MW Fertility”), a non-wholly owned subsidiary of TT Holdings. MW Fertility in turn acquired approximately 89.5% of the issued share capital of Genea. In June 2020, we completed an upstream reorganization of Genea, whereby We Doctor HK converted the Promissory Note and the Loan Facility into shares of TT Holdings, and acquired the interest held by Wealth Infinity and the Aldworth Entities in TT Holdings and the interest held by other independent shareholders in MW Fertility in exchange for common shares issued by our Company. In connection with the upstream reorganization, we also issued to one shareholder of TT Holdings a promissory note of US$11.5 million. The total consideration for the acquisition equals to 21,793,028 common shares allotted and issued by our Company and US$14.8 million in cash. Upon completion of the upstream reorganization of Genea, We Doctor HK directly holds the entire issued share capital of TT Holdings and MW Fertility and indirectly holds approximately 89.5% of the entire issued share capital of Genea. The acquisition of Genea was undertaken in order to introduce advanced fertility treatment technologies to enter into and better serve China’s growing fertility treatment market and to further expand our service offerings and service capabilities to users. The consideration for the acquisition was determined based on arm’s length negotiation among the parties with reference to the profitability of Genea. The Directors confirm that the acquisition of Genea was properly and legally completed (except for the cash consideration of US$11.5 million to be settled before the [REDACTED]). – 190 – THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED “WARNING” ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.

Using novel data on 57 large private equity deals in the insurance industry, we show that buyouts create value by decreasing insurers' tax liabilities; and by reaching-for-yield: PE firms tilt their subsidiaries' bond portfolios toward junk bonds while avoiding corresponding capital charges.

Swensen convenes his staff — including his cadre of apprentices — for a morning-long meeting among the Gothic revival flourishes and crenelations of the Yale University campus to debate investment ideas. Mr. Swensen, 62, runs the school’s $25.4 billion endowment, one of the largest in the country. Usually he is joined by his intellectual sparring partner, Dean Takahashi, his senior director. It amounts to an internship in the world of managing a university’s billions — and the young analysts have a front-row seat. “It was like watching a 70-year-old married couple go at it in full force,” recalled Andrew Golden, who was one of those Swensen acolytes in the 1980s. But forget what you think about internships and fetching doughnuts for the bosses. The meetings are supposed to be a crucible of ideas, and the analysts — some of whom stay in the positions for years — recalled bringing their own proposals in the early days, and having to defend them or face the music. “It could be jarring to have your own view shredded by them,” Mr. Golden said. As for Mr. Swensen, it’s an environment that brings together two things he loves: 1 of 9 11/30/16, 3:19 PM The Money Management Gospel of Yale’s Endowment Guru - T..
