Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Youlife Group Inc. has signed a share exchange agreement to acquire 100% of YouheHR Group Inc., making YouheHR a wholly owned subsidiary. As consideration, Youlife will issue 4,967,809 newly issued Class A ordinary shares, calculated from a purchase price of RMB69.6 million using an exchange rate of USD/RMB7.0051 and a reference share price of USD2.0. These new shares will account for about 7.1% of Youlife’s total issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares and about 1.7% of its total voting power after completion.

The deal includes a price-protection feature: if the issuance share price is below USD2.0, Youlife must pay the seller cash equal to the share count multiplied by the shortfall. It also has a performance make-good: for each of 2026, 2027 and 2028, YouheHR must achieve audited net profit and audited operating cash inflows of at least RMB12.0 million, or the seller and a named manager must compensate Youlife at five times the net profit shortfall. The shares are being issued in an unregistered offering relying on Regulation S and/or Regulation D, and Youlife has agreed to provide registration rights for these shares later.

Insights

Youlife is using stock to buy YouheHR with performance safeguards and moderate dilution.

The agreement has Youlife acquiring all of YouheHR through a share exchange valued at RMB69.6 million, paid in 4,967,809 new Class A shares derived from a USD2.0 reference price and a specified RMB/USD rate. This structures the deal as an equity-financed acquisition, avoiding immediate cash outflow while expanding the group with a new operating subsidiary.

Investor impact hinges on dilution and earn-out design. The new shares will represent about 7.1% of issued Class A shares and about 1.7% of total voting power post-closing, which is meaningful but not dominating. A make-good mechanism requires compensation equal to five times any shortfall versus RMB12.0 million audited net profit in each of the 2026–2028 evaluation periods, and also sets matching operating cash inflow targets, aligning economics with future performance.

The structure also includes downside protection on pricing: if the effective issuance price per share is below USD2.0, Youlife must pay the seller cash to bridge the gap. The shares are issued in reliance on Regulation S and/or Regulation D and accompanied by future registration rights, which may later facilitate liquidity for the seller. Execution details, such as meeting performance targets in the 2026–2028 periods and satisfying closing conditions, will determine how accretive the transaction becomes.

ENTRY INTO MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENTS

 

On January 22, 2025, Youlife Group Inc., a company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Youlife” or the “Purchaser”), YouheHR Group Inc., a company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“YouheHR”), and Lightred Investment Co., Ltd., a company organized under the laws of British Virgin Islands (the “Seller”) entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Agreement”). Upon closing, YouheHR will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Youlife.

 

Pursuant to the Agreement, Youlife has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of YouheHR from the Seller, in exchange for certain newly issued Class A Ordinary Shares of Youlife (“Youlife Exchange Shares”). Youlife shall issue the Youlife Exchange Shares to be registered in the name of the Seller or the Seller’s designee within a reasonable period of time after the Closing. The exact number of Youlife Exchange Shares to be issued, which is 4,967,809, is be calculated by dividing RMB69.6 million by (1) the exchange rate (RMB central parity rate against the US dollar published by the China Foreign Exchange Trade System (CFETS) under the authorization of the People’s Bank of China on January 19, 2026, which, for the avoidance of doubt, is USD/RMB7.0051) and (2) USD2.0. If the per share price for the Youlife Exchange Shares upon issuance is less than USD2.0, Youlife shall be required to compensate the Seller in cash in an amount equal to the number of Youlife Exchange Shares multiplied by the difference between USD2.0 and the per share price for the Youlife Exchange Shares.

 

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Seller and the member of the management team identified in the Agreement shall be required to compensate Youlife if YouheHR fails to achieve the performance target during a performance evaluation period. The Agreement stipulates three performance evaluation periods, namely the full calendar year of 2026, 2027 and 2028, and the performance target in respect of each performance evaluation period is both the audited net profit of YouheHR and the audited operating cash inflows of YouheHR of not less than RMB12.0 million. The amount of compensation payable during each performance evaluation period shall be determined by five times of the shortfall of the audited net profit during that performance evaluation period against RMB12.0 million.

 

The Youlife Exchange Shares to be issued to the Seller will represent approximately 7.1% of the Company’s total issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares and approximately 1.7% of total voting power of the Company immediately following completion of the transaction contemplated under the Agreement.

 

The closing of the transactions is subject to customary closing conditions, including internal corporate approvals of the parties, and is anticipated to occur on such date which shall be no later than two (2) business days after all of the conditions set forth in the Agreement have been satisfied or waived, or on such other date as YouheHR, the Seller and the Purchaser may unanimously agree.

 

The foregoing summary of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

 

Based in part upon the representations of Youlife in the Agreement, the issuance and sale of the Youlife Exchange Shares to the Seller was made in transactions not required for registration in reliance on the exclusion or exemption afforded by Regulation S and/or Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and corresponding provisions of state securities or “blue sky” laws.

 

None of the securities have been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the SEC or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. Neither this Report on Form 6-K nor any exhibit attached hereto is an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy Class A Ordinary Shares or other securities of the Company.

Representations and warranties of the Company and the Seller

 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF the COMPANY

 

As an inducement to, and to obtain the reliance of the Purchaser, the Company and the Seller, jointly and severally (with respect to the representations and warranties of the Company) hereby represent and warrant to the Purchaser as follows as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date:

The Company does not have any knowledge of any material default on its part with respect to any judgment, order, injunction, decree, award, rule, or regulation of any court, arbitrator, or governmental agency or instrumentality or of any circumstances which, after reasonable investigation, would result in the discovery of such a default.

The Company has complied with all applicable foreign and domestic statutes and regulations of any federal, state, provincial or other governmental entity or agency thereof, except to the extent that noncompliance would not materially and adversely affect the business, operations, properties, assets, or condition of the Company or except to the extent that noncompliance would not result in the occurrence of any material liability for the Company. There is no pending legal, administrative, regulatory, arbitration or other formal action, claim, suit, or investigation (a “Proceeding”) that has been commenced against the Company and that challenges, or may have the effect of preventing, delaying, making illegal, or otherwise interfering with, the Transaction contemplated in this Agreement. To the Company’s best knowledge, no such Proceeding has been threatened.

 

1.9 Approval of Agreement

 

The shareholder and board of directors of the Company have unanimously authorized the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and have approved this Agreement and the Transaction contemplated hereby. No other corporate proceedings, other than as set forth elsewhere in the Agreement or any Transaction Document, on the part of the Company is necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement or to consummate the Transaction contemplated hereby.

 

1.10 Governmental approvals

 

No consent, approval or permission of, registration or filing with any governmental authority (collectively, “Consent”) or any other person on the part of the Company is required to be obtained or made in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of this Agreement or the consummation by the Company of the Transaction contemplated hereby or thereby other than such filings or approvals as expressly contemplated by this Agreement except, in the case of any Consent that may be required from any person which is not a governmental authority, where failure to obtain such Consent would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. As used in this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means any event, occurrence, condition, change, development, or effect that, individually or in the aggregate, has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse effect on (a) the business, assets, liabilities, financial condition, operations, or results of operations of the Company, taken as a whole, or (b) the ability of the Company or the Seller to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the Transaction contemplated hereby; provided, however, that none of the following shall be deemed, in and of themselves, to constitute, or be taken into account in determining whether there has been or would reasonably be expected to be, a Material Adverse Effect: (i) changes in general economic, financial, credit, political, or securities market conditions, (ii) changes or conditions generally affecting the industries in which the Company operates, (iii) acts of war, terrorism, natural disasters, pandemics, or other force majeure events, (iv) changes in applicable law or accounting principles, or (v) any failure by the Company to meet internal projections, forecasts, or revenue or earnings predictions (provided, that the underlying cause of any such failure may be considered in determining whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred), (vi) any action required or permitted by this Agreement or any action taken (or omitted to be taken) with the consent of or at the request of the Purchaser; except, in the case of clauses (i) through (iv), to the extent such changes have a disproportionate adverse effect on the Company relative to other similarly situated businesses in the same industry.
