Taibang Biological Group Acquisition
Taibang Biological Group was acquired by Centurium Capital, CITIC Capital Holdings, Temasek and Hillhouse Investment for $4.8B on 19 November 2020.
The acquisition price implies a 9.1x revenue and 20.7x EBITDA multiple on $524M of revenue.
Before the acquisition Taibang Biological Group had raised $890M across 2 funding rounds.
A consortium led by Centurium Capital agreed to take Taibang Biologic Group, then listed on Nasdaq as China Biologic Products Holdings, private in a merger agreement signed on 19 November 2020. Each ordinary share was to be cancelled for US$120.00 in cash, a transaction the company said implied an equity value of about US$4.76 billion and a 16.8% premium to the closing price on 17 September 2019, the last trading day before it announced the going-private proposal. The buyer group comprised Centurium Capital, CITIC Capital, Hillhouse Capital, Temasek through its subsidiary V-Sciences Investments, and company chairman and chief executive Joseph Chow with other management holders, who rolled over their existing shares. The investors financed the privatization through a combination of equity and debt, with Ping An Bank and Shanghai Pudong Development Bank providing bank financing. The merger was completed in April 2021 and the shares were delisted from Nasdaq. Taibang is a Beijing-based plasma-derived biopharmaceutical company founded in 2002 that develops, manufactures and sells human albumin, immunoglobulin and coagulation factor products, and it also has a non-plasma segment that includes regenerative medical biomaterials.

| Date | Stage | Investors | Raised | Deal Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aug 2022 | Undisclosed stage | Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (lead); GIC (lead); China Life Private Equity Investment; Cinda Securities | $300M | Taibang Biologic Group, formerly listed on Nasdaq as China Biologic Products Holdings, entered into definitive documents on 2 August 2022 for a US$300 million equity raising from investors led by Platinum Orchid, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, and GIC. China Life Private Equity Investment and Cinda Kunpeng took part as co-investors. It was the group's first equity financing since the completion of its privatization by a consortium led by Centurium Capital in April 2021. The company said the proceeds would optimize its capital structure and support the expansion of plasma collection stations and the research and development of new products. Taibang, founded in 2002 and based in Beijing, researches, develops, manufactures and sells human plasma-derived products in China, with 10 approved plasma products in more than 20 dosage forms across human albumin, human immunoglobulin and human coagulation factors. It also runs a non-plasma segment. The company remains privately held after the financing. |
| Aug 2018 | Undisclosed stage | PW Medtech Group; Hillhouse Investment; Centurium Capital; CITIC Capital Holdings | $590M | China Biologic Products Holdings, now Taibang Biologic Group, agreed on 24 August 2018 to issue 5,850,000 ordinary shares in a private placement for about US$590 million, and the placement was completed on 21 September 2018. The investors were affiliates of Centurium Capital, namely Beachhead Holdings and Double Double Holdings, then affiliated with directors David Hui Li and Joseph Chow, together with PW Medtech Group and two third-party investors that AVCJ identifies as CITIC Capital and Hillhouse. The company signed investor rights agreements that imposed a two-year lock-up on the shares, restrictions on transfers to competitors and a voting agreement in line with board recommendations, and it granted shelf and piggyback registration rights. Former chairman and chief executive David Gao started a proceeding in the Cayman Islands court on 27 August 2018 seeking to void the placement, and the company applied to have it dismissed. The company, a plasma-derived biopharmaceutical group based in China and founded in 2002, was then listed on Nasdaq. Centurium put about US$500 million into the company in total and later led its 2021 privatization. |
| Nov 2010 | Secondary | Warburg Pincus | - | Warburg Pincus bought shares of China Biologic Products, now Taibang Biological Group, from existing shareholders in a series of private purchases in 2010.

Warburg Pincus Private Equity X and Warburg Pincus X Partners together held 1,670,000 shares, about 6.9 percent of the Nasdaq-listed company, after the last closing. A separate May 2010 agreement with director Siu Ling Chan for 1,500,000 shares carried a right for Warburg Pincus to have a nominee elected to the board. China Biologic, based in Beijing, produced human plasma products through Shandong Taibang and Guizhou Taibang and later was taken private by a consortium led by Centurium Capital in 2020. Warburg Pincus held the investment for nearly seven years. |
