This announcement is for information purposes only and does not constitute an offer or an invitation to induce an offer by any person to acquire, purchase or subscribe for securities. This announcement is not a prospectus. Potential investors should read the Prospectus for detailed information about the Company and the Global Offering described below before deciding whether or not to invest in the Offer Shares.

This announcement is not for release, publication, distribution, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States (and its territories, possessions and all areas subject to its jurisdiction) or any other jurisdiction where such distribution is prohibited by law. This announcement does not constitute and is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of any offer to buy securities in Hong Kong, the United States or elsewhere. The securities referred to in this announcement have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to time (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any state securities laws of the United States and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under the U.S. Securities Act or except pursuant to an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act. There will be no public offering of securities of the Company in the United States.

In connection with the Global Offering, China International Capital Corporation Hong Kong Securities Limited, as stabilising manager (the "Stabilising Manager"), its affiliates or any person acting for it, on behalf of the Underwriters, may effect transactions with a view to stabilising or supporting the market price of the H Shares at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail for a limited period after the Listing Date. However, there is no obligation on the Stabilising Manager, its affiliates or any person acting for it, to conduct any such stabilising action, which, if taken, will be done at the sole and absolute discretion of the Stabilising Manager, its affiliates or any person acting for it, and may be discontinued at any time. Any such stabilising activity is required to be brought to an end on the 30th day after the last day for the lodging of applications under the Hong Kong Public Offering. Such stabilising action, if taken, may be effected in all jurisdictions where it is permissible to do so, in each case in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulatory requirements, including the Securities and Futures (Price Stabilising) Rules, as amended, made under the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

Potential investors should be aware that stabilising action cannot be taken to support the price of the H Shares for longer than the stabilisation period which begins on the Listing Date and is expected to expire on 17 October 2019, being the 30th day after the last day for the lodging of applications under the Hong Kong Public Offering. After this date, no further stabilising action may be taken, demand for the H Shares, and therefore the price of the H Shares, could fall.

The Company is initially offering 64,695,400 H Shares (subject to the Over-allotment Option) under the Global Offering, which consists of 6,469,600 Hong Kong Offer Shares (subject to reallocation) and 58,225,800 International Offer Shares (subject to reallocation and the Over-allotment Option), representing approximately 10% and 90% of the total number of Offer Shares initially available under the Global Offering, respectively. Of the 58,225,800 Offer Shares initially being offered under the International Offering, 8,372,000 Offer Shares (representing approximately 14.38% and 12.94% of the Offer Shares initially being offered under the International Offering and the Global Offering, respectively) will be offered to the Qualifying Fosun International Shareholders and the Qualifying Fosun Pharma H Shareholders as an Assured Entitlement by way of the Preferential Offering. The allocation of the Offer Shares between the International Offering and the Hong Kong Public Offering, in each case, will be subject to reallocation on the basis as described in the section headed "Structure of the Global Offering" in the Prospectus. The Reserved Shares are not subject to such reallocation. In accordance with Guidance Letter HKEx-GL91-18 issued by the Stock Exchange, if such reallocation is done other than pursuant to Practice Note 18 of the Listing Rules, the maximum total number of Offer Shares that may be allocated to the Hong Kong Public Offering following such reallocation shall be not more than two times the number of Hong Kong Offer Shares initially available under the Hong Kong Public Offering (i.e. 12,939,200 Offer Shares).

In connection with the Global Offering, the Company is expected to grant the Over-allotment Option to the International Underwriters, which will be exercisable by the Joint Representatives (for themselves and on behalf of the International Underwriters) at any time from the Listing Date to the 30th day after the last day for the lodging of applications under the Hong Kong Public Offering (being Thursday, 17 October 2019). Pursuant to the Over-allotment Option, the Company may be required to allot and issue up to 9,704,300 additional Offer Shares, representing approximately 15% of the Offer Shares initially available under the Global Offering, at the Offer Price, to cover over-allocations in the International Offering, if any. In the event the Over-allotment Option is exercised, the number of Reserved Shares will not change.

Subject to the granting of the approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the H Shares on the Stock Exchange and compliance with the stock admission requirements of HKSCC, the H Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the date of commencement of dealings in the H Shares on the Stock Exchange, or such other date as may be determined by HKSCC. Settlement of transactions between participants of the Stock Exchange is required to take place in CCASS on the second business day after any trading day. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and the CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time. All necessary arrangements have been made to enable the H Shares to be admitted into CCASS. Investors should seek the advice of their stockbrokers or other professional advisers for details of the settlement arrangement as such arrangements may affect their rights and interests.
