Likely to be Robust Plan which bought. Their stake would now be about 19%.
Robust Plan may sell all its Cordlife Shares to a special purpose vehicle which has not yet been incorporated ("SPV4").
If and when incorporated, SPV4 is intended to be wholly-owned by another special purpose vehicle ("SPV3") which, if and when incorporated, will be wholly-owned by Jiaxing Huiling No. 3 Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership) ("Huiling"). In June 2015, Huiling entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Zhongyuan Union Cell & Gene Engineering Corporation Ltd. ("Zhongyuan"), a company listed on the

No, it wasn't Robust Plan that bought the 33 m at crazy price of $1.70. It was another China investor, Kunlum. Now Kunlum has expressly said it is does not intend to do a GO. This is most unusual declaration from a shareholder which holds only 12.77%, still very far from the trigger point of 30%. Is it because it wants to douse the enthusiasm of the market?
"Based on the Form 3 received by the Company, Kunlum has a shareholding interest in 33,118,300 ordinary shares of the Company, which amounts to approximately 12.77% of the issued share capital of the Company. The Company has also been informed that Kunlum does not currently have any intention to make a general offer for all the shares of the Company."
