APPENDIX I

SUMMARY OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

SUMMARY OF THE 2019 SHARE OPTION SCHEME

1. BACKGROUND AND CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE PROPOSED ADOPTION OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

1.1 Historical Background

We refer to the announcements of the Company dated 11 April 2019 and 10 May 2019, the circular of the Company dated 21 May 2019, and the poll results announcement of the Company dated 28 June 2019 (the "Previous Disclosures"). As disclosed in the Previous Disclosures, the Company had convened its 2018 annual general meeting, 2019 first H share class meeting and 2019 first A share class meeting on 27 June 2019 for its shareholders to consider and approve the relevant resolutions in relation to the then proposed A Shares option scheme (the "Previous Share Option Scheme"). The relevant resolutions were passed in the 2018 annual general meeting and the 2019 first A share class meeting of the Company but were not approved in the 2019 first H share class meeting of the Company (the "Previous General Meeting Results").

According to the Previous General Meeting Results, it came to the Company's notice that certain H Shareholders had certain misunderstandings on the avoidance of conflict of interest mechanism of the Previous Share Option Scheme. Therefore, the Company has conducted explanatory works on the corporate governance practices of the Company and the relevant Hong Kong Listing Rules requirements in relation to avoidance of conflict of interest through roadshows, telephone conference and other means in compliance with the applicable laws and rules and the common market practice in the H share market.

The Company has been consistently endeavoring to improve its governance structure and rules of operation, and continues to enhance the effectiveness of its corporate governance. The Company understands that the avoidance of conflicts of interest in the decision making process is a fundamental requirement under relevant laws, rules and regulations, which include but not limited to the PRC laws and regulations, applicable listing rules in which the securities of the Company are listed, and the Articles of Association.

Based on the proper communications work done in the H share market, the Company has amended and improved the content and provisions of the Previous Share Option Scheme and prepared the Share Option Scheme with certain clarification provisions included (the "Amendments"). In particular, the Amendments clearly set out that (a) Participants of the Share Option Scheme should abstain from the review, administration and any other matters in relation to the Share Option Scheme, and (b) the Remuneration and Assessment Committee, members of which are not eligible for the Share Option Scheme, is responsible to formulate the Assessment Measures, lead and organize the assessment work of the Participants, and examine and confirm whether the Participants are qualified to exercise and whether the Participants fulfil the Exercise Conditions. On one hand, the Amendments are consistent with the Previous Share Option Scheme in principle, and on the other hand, they also clearly demonstrate the Company's continuing efforts to clearly address certain H Shareholders' concern on the avoidance of conflict of interest mechanism under the Previous Share Option Scheme with the hope of obtaining further understanding and supports to the optimisation and development of the corporate governance system of the Company from its Shareholders.

APPENDIX I

SUMMARY OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

In addition, the Company also (a) updated the performance assessment requirements for the Company and the Participants, in order to establish a sound incentive and restraint mechanism, fully mobilize the enthusiasm and creativity of the Participants, raise the standard of performance targets of the Company under the Share Option Scheme to further demonstrate the Company's confidence in its strategic goals and market position in the future; and (b) revised the scope of the Participants, the allocation of the Share Options between the stages of the initial grant and the reserved grant, the Exercise Price, and the effects of the costs of Share Options on each accounting period, after considering the changes of employees of the Company in the second half of 2019 and the fluctuation of the price of its Shares in the market which is also in line with the CSRC's requirements that the exercise price of share options of a listed company in the A share market shall be re-determined with the reference date being the actual announcement date of the approval by the Board.

1.2 Reasons for and Benefits of Adopting the Proposed Share Option Scheme

Based on the aforementioned background and the factors considered for the Previous Share Option Scheme, and the following reasons that necessitate implementation of the Share Option Scheme, the Company considers that the Share Option Scheme is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

  1. Normalization of equity incentives in the pharmaceutical industry market

Under the encouragement and guidance of the reform policy of the state-owned enterprises, Shanghai Pharmaceuticals, as a key pharmaceutical enterprise under the supervision of Shanghai SASAC, will further improve its corporate governance and increase the incentive and restraint of personnel selection through the implementation of the Share Option Scheme. With references to market practices that various A-share listed pharmaceutical enterprises and those listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange have implemented equity incentive schemes, there is practical significance for Shanghai Pharmaceuticals, the first "A+H share listed" pharmaceutical enterprise in mainland China, in launching the Share Option Scheme to optimize salary structure and improve salary competitiveness.

  1. Fierce competition for talent in the pharmaceutical industry

Shanghai Pharmaceuticals is part of a highly competitive industry, and the flow of talent that is good in pharmaceutical R&D, sales and operation and management decision-making is highly market-oriented. In a fiercely competitive environment for talent in the industry, whereas the main industrial competitors of the Company have successfully implemented incentive schemes, the Company has encountered great challenges in attracting and retaining core personnel. Currently, establishing a comprehensive and complete incentive mechanism and improving the competitiveness of salaries will firmly strengthen the competitiveness of the Company, so that the Company will maintain the position of the benchmark brand in the market competition.

APPENDIX I

SUMMARY OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

  1. Urgent need to establish an incentive mechanism to drive achievement

Through years of management practice, Shanghai Pharmaceuticals has deeply realized the significance of the subjective initiative and creativity of the core employees to the development of enterprises. Fully stimulating the subjective initiative of the core employees can enable the Company to seize more market opportunities and as such more innovative management initiatives will emerge. Therefore, the level of core employees' involvement in the work will have a great impact on the Company's performance. Through the Scheme, Shanghai Pharmaceuticals hopes to closely bond the personal interests of the core employees with the development of enterprise performance to fully stimulate the subjective initiative of core employees.

  1. Focusing on the long-term goal of strategic development of the Company and guiding the management team to pay more attention to the long-term practice of the Company

Considering that the pharmaceutical industry is a market-oriented industry, changes in the market are fast and complex, which can easily lead to short-term individual profit-seeking behavior, affect the interests of the Shareholders and the healthy long-term development of the Company. On the one hand, the Scheme will better serve the formation of a united community between the management team and the Shareholders of the Company, promote the team to focus on the long-term goals of the strategic development of the Company and operate the Company from the perspective of the Shareholders to increase the interests thereof. On the other hand, the development of the Company is not only the responsibility of the Shareholders, but also an effective way to realize the self-interest of core employees of the Company.

The following summarises all principal terms of the Share Option Scheme:

2. PROPOSED ADOPTION OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

2.1 Purpose of the Share Option Scheme

To further optimize the corporate governance structure of the Company, create long-term incentive and restrictions on the senior management, mid-level management and key technical and business staff of the Company, fully encourage their initiative and creativity, effectively align their interests with the Company's long term development, prevent the loss of talents, and achieve sustainable development of the Company, as proposed by the Remuneration and Assessment Committee, Shanghai Pharmaceuticals formulated the Share Option Scheme in accordance with the relevant laws, regulations and regulatory documents, and the Articles of Association.

APPENDIX I

SUMMARY OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

  1. Estimated Impacts on the Operating Performance of Each of the Period due to Implementation of the Share Options

The fair value of the Share Options on the Grant Date which is determined in accordance with the relevant valuation method, and the costs of payment of Shares under the Scheme which is determined finally, will be amortized in accordance with the percentage of Share Options exercised during the implementation of the Scheme. The incentive costs incurred from the Scheme will be charged to the recurring profit and loss.

According to the accounting standards of the PRC, the effects of the costs of Share Options under the initial grant of the Scheme on each accounting period are as follows:

Year

2019

2020

2021

2022

2023

Total

Costs to be amortized

8.64

3,152.93

3,148.95

1,695.08

725.61

Taking into consideration the positive impact of the Scheme on the development of the Company, such as motivating the management team, increasing the operational efficiency, and reducing agent costs, the benefits generated from the improvement in the Company's results due to the Scheme shall far exceed the increase in expenses.

The accounting treatment of the reserved Share Options are the same as the accounting treatment of the Share Options under the initial grant of the Scheme.

Note: This incentive cost is calculated based on the price determined with the date of the Announcement in relation to the Share Option Scheme, i.e. 30 September 2019. The actual share and cost will be adjusted according to the relevant rules based on the Announcement in relation to the Share Option Scheme.
