Amendment No. 6 to Form F-4 filed June 5, 2025
The Business Combination
CIAA Breast Cancer License Valuation, page 113
1. With respect to the Breast Cancer License Valuation, under the
"Conclusion" heading
on page 113 you state: "As of June 30, 2024, the investment value of the
Subject
Asset was between $747.8 million to $769.6 million," which considers
both the
Market Approach and Income Approach valuations. We also note your
statement on
page 125, which appears to cite a different valuation range as CIAA's
conclusion:
"The income method . . . conclude[s] that the value range of Biopharma
s exclusive
breast cancer license is between US$620,082,000 and US$777,266,000; the
Market
Approach estimates that the value range of Biopharma s exclusive
breast cancer
license is between US$747,847,000 and US$884,952,000 . . . The two
overlapping
value ranges are between US$747,847,000 and US$769,609,000. The value
range
determined is not an overlapping value range. Instead, it is recommended
that the
value range is between US$620,082,000 and US$747,847,000. This
evaluation uses
this value range as the conclusion of YD Biopharma s exclusive breast
cancer
license." Please reconcile these statements or advise.
2. We note your revised disclosure in response to prior comment 5, which we
reissue in
part. With respect to the Breast Cancer License Valuation, when only
considering
Grail's valuation under the Market Approach the Company's global market
valuation
range was $747 million to $884 million, as stated on page 113 and shown
in the table
on page 114. On page 116, in connection with your discussion of the
Market
Approach, you state: "CIAA selected GRAIL Inc. as a comparable company
and,
utilizing the share prices as well as the financial and operational data
of relevant
publicly traded peer companies, calculated the appropriate valuation
multiples . . .
these multiples were then used in conjunction with YD Biopharma s
financial and
operational figures as of December 31, 2024, to derive an estimate of
the company s
enterprise value as of that date." Please revise to provide the
Company's "enterprise
valuation" calculated by CIAA as part of the Breast Cancer License
Valuation as of
December 31, 2024, which appears to be based on Grail's data as well as
the data of
the companies in the table on page 116. Please also reconcile this with
the following
statement on page 125, which appears to indicate that CIAA only
considered Grail's
valuation in determining the Market Approach valuation, and did not
consider any
other companies: "the Market Approach estimates that the value range of
Biopharma s
exclusive breast cancer license is between US$747,847,000 and
US$884,952,000."

3. We note your analysis in response to prior comment 9. Please revise your
disclosure
relating to Grail in this section to briefly describe your consideration
of Grail's current
stock market valuation and capitalization and why more recent data was
considered
not suitable for this analysis.
4. We note your statement: "[t]hese newly licensed technologies represent
cutting-edge
innovations in their respective fields, with intrinsic value likely
materially exceeding
June 18, 2025

the estimates generated by the Guideline Public Company Method." Please
revise to
state this as management's belief or note that these tests have not been
commercialized
and therefore their ultimate value may differ from expectations.

5. We note your response to prior comment 11. Please revise to clarify
throughout your
registration statement whether you intend to market your cancer
diagnostic tests that
are LDTs directly to consumers or just to healthcare providers.
Additionally, revise to
further clarify the basis for this regulatory distinction between LDTs
sold directly to
consumers and those performed at the request of a healthcare provider.
Please contact Christie Wong at 202-551-3684 or Michael Fay at
202-551-3812 if you
have questions regarding comments on the financial statements and related
matters. Please
contact Jane Park at 202-551-7439 or Margaret Sawicki at 202-551-7153 with any
other
questions.
