Key Financial Metrics and Transaction Terms

- Consideration Structure: Payment is made via the issuance of 4,967,809 newly issued Class A Ordinary Shares ("Youlife Exchange Shares").
- Valuation Basis: The share count is calculated using an exchange rate of USD/RMB 7.0051 and a fixed share price of USD 2.00.

Material Changes and Unusual Items
The primary material change is the proposed acquisition of YouheHR. The filing notes a price protection clause: if the per-share price of Youlife Exchange Shares upon issuance is less than USD 2.00, Youlife must compensate the Seller in cash for the difference. The filing does not provide historical revenue, profit, or cash flow data for Youlife Group Inc. for the current or prior periods, as this is a transaction disclosure rather than a financial results report.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Closing Conditions: The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including internal corporate approvals. Closing is anticipated within two business days after conditions are satisfied.
- Regulatory Status: The issuance of shares relies on exemptions under Regulation S and/or Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933. The securities are unregistered and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption.
- Performance Risk: The transaction includes a significant earn-out/penalty structure contingent on YouheHR's future profitability and cash flow over three years.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the final closing date and confirmation that all internal corporate approvals have been obtained.
- Confirm the actual exchange rate and share price at the time of issuance to determine if the cash compensation clause (for prices below USD 2.00) is triggered.
- Review the audited financial statements of YouheHR for the years 2026, 2027, and 2028 to assess the likelihood of meeting the RMB 12.0 million net profit and cash flow targets.
