2022-08-02

Taibang Biologic Group (previously listed as China Biologic Products Holdings, Inc. on the Nasdaq under the trading symbol “CBPO”) (the “Group”) entered into definitive transaction documents for equity raising of US$300 million with a group of investors led by Platinum Orchid, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA), and GIC. China Life and Cinda Kunpeng are participating in this financing round as co-investors.

This is Taibang Biologic Group’s first equity financing transaction since the completion of its privatization in April 2021 by a consortium led by Centurium Capital. The Group has received strong interests from top-tier international and domestic investors, which reflects the capital markets’ high recognition of the Group's ability to deliver clinical benefits to patients and create value for shareholders.

This round of financing will further optimize the Group’s capital structure, which will help solidify its leading position in the domestic market and attract more stable and extensive resources to support the expansion of plasma stations and the research and development of new products, thereby allowing the Group to achieve more rapid and sustainable growth in the China market.

Founded in 2002, the Group is a leading Chinese biopharmaceutical company that provides a comprehensive range of plasma products, principally engaged in the research, development, manufacturing and sales of human plasma-based biopharmaceutical products, or plasma products, in China. The Group possesses plasma manufacturing sites with leading technology standards and world-class R&D capabilities and plasma product laboratories. The Group has a strong product portfolio covering 10 approved plasma products with over 20 different dosage forms across 3 main categories: human albumin, human immunoglobulin, and human coagulation factors. In addition, the Group also operates a non-plasma products business segment with a number of products such as placental polypeptides, artificial dura mater, artificial nerve sheath, and aponeurosis, as well as a full line of products in the field of neurosurgery under the German brand named Zeppelin. The Group’s products are sold in the vast majority of the provincial medical markets in mainland China. For more information on the Group, please visit: https://www.chinabiologic.com/
