Explanatory Note: This Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”), which amends the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 23, 2023 (the “Original Schedule 13D”) filed on behalf of Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. (“ARE”) and Alexandria Venture Investments, LLC (“AVI” and together with ARE the “Reporting Persons”), relates to the Ordinary shares, par value US$0.00002 per share (“Ordinary Shares”) of Genetron Holdings Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the Laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Issuer”). Information reported in the Original Schedule 13D remains in effect except to the extent that it is amended, restated or superseded by information contained in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment have the respective meanings set forth in the Original Schedule 13D. All references in the Original Schedule 13D and this Amendment shall be deemed to refer to the Original Schedule 13D as amended and supplemented by this Amendment.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end of Item 4:

On March 28, 2024, Merger Sub and Parent completed the Merger with and into the Issuer, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, dated as of October 11, 2023, by and among Parent, Merger Sub and the Issuer. In connection with the completion of the Merger, AVI contributed all of the Rollover Shares held by AVI to Parent and, in return, received equity securities of Parent. At the effective time of the Merger, each of the Rollover Shares was canceled and ceased to exist and no consideration was paid in the Merger in respect of such Rollover Shares.

As a result of the Merger, the American depositary shares (each representing fifteen (15) Ordinary Shares) ceased to trade on the NASDAQ Global Market prior to the opening of trading on March 28, 2024 and became eligible for delisting from the NASDAQ Global Market, and the Ordinary Shares became eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Rules 12g-4(a)(1) and 12h-3(b)(1)(i) of the Act.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a)-(b)

As a result of the closing of the Merger as described in Item 4, the Reporting Persons ceased to beneficially own any Ordinary Shares or to have voting or dispositive power with respect to any Ordinary Shares. To the extent that a “group,” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act, was formed by virtue of the Reporting Persons’ actions with respect to the Support Agreements, such group ceased to exist upon the closing of the Merger. The information disclosed under Item 4 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5.

(c)

Except as set forth in this Amendment, the Reporting Persons have not engaged in any transactions in the Issuer’s securities during the past 60 days prior to the obligation to file this Schedule 13D.

(d)

No other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or any proceeds from the sale of, the Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

(e)

The Reporting Persons ceased to be, collectively with the other members of the purported “group” described in Item (5)(a)-(b), the beneficial owners of more than five percent of the Ordinary Shares on March 28, 2024.

SIGNATURE

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
