DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) relates to the registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-248096) (the “Registration Statement”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 17, 2020 by New Frontier Health Corporation, a company established under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”). Under the Registration Statement, a total of 13,850,087 ordinary shares, par value US$0.0001 per share, of the Company, were registered for issuance under the Company’s 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). This Post-Effective Amendment is being filed for the sole purpose of deregistering any unissued shares previously registered under the Registration Statement and issuable under the Plan.

On January 26, 2022, pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger dated August 4, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”) among the Company, Unicorn II Holdings Limited, Unicorn II Parent Limited (“Parent”) and Unicorn II Merger Sub Limited (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub was merged with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving company resulting from the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). Upon completion of the Merger, the Company became a privately-held company.

As a result of the Merger, the Company has terminated all the offerings of its securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. The Company hereby removes from registration, by means of this Post-Effective Amendment, any and all of the securities registered under the Registration Statement which remain unsold as of the date of this Post-Effective Amendment.
