The Board announces that the Land Reserve Centre and Shijiazhuang No.4 Pharma (an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) entered into the Land Repurchase Agreement on 2 December 2019 in accordance with relevant PRC laws and regulations, pursuant to which the Land Reserve Centre has agreed to repurchase and Shijiazhuang No.4 Pharma has agreed to sell the Land Use Right.

THE LAND REPURCHASE AGREEMENT

Date

2 December 2019

Parties

  1. Shijiazhuang City Land Reserve Centre*(石家莊市土地儲備中心)
  2. Shijiazhuang No.4 Pharma

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiry, the Land Reserve Centre and its ultimate beneficial owner is a third party independent of the Company and its connected persons.

- 1 -

Compensation Amount

The parties agreed that Shijiazhuang No.4 Pharma shall, generally and subject to adjustments, be paid 60% of the Public Tendering Price as Compensation for the repurchase of the Land Parcel.

Payment Terms

The Land Reserve Centre shall pay the Compensation to Shijiazhuang No.4 Pharma within 10 working days upon the handover of the Land Parcel to the successful bidder of the Public Tendering.

Financial Effects

The Group expects to have a gain of approximately RMB118 million before tax if and upon successful completion of the Public Tendering. The actual amount of gain is subject to audit and will take into account any costs and expenses incurred relating to the Land Parcel, and accordingly it may be different from the amount above.

FURTHER INFORMATION

In connection with the Land Repurchase Agreement, Shijiazhuang No.4 Pharma has previously engaged the Property Developer to arrange for the possible repurchase of the Land Parcel and development of the Project, and as consideration, Shijiazhuang No.4 Pharma shall be entitled to the Fixed Income. The Property Developer intends to acquire the Land Parcel through Pubic Tendering and has prepaid the Fixed Income of RMB155 million to Shijiazhuang No.4 Pharma. If the Property Developer obtains the Land Parcel at the Public Tendering and upon the receipt of the Compensation by Shijiazhuang No.4 Pharma, Shijiazhuang No.4 Pharma shall pay the Compensation to the Property Developer.

If the Property Developer is unable to obtain the Land Parcel at the Public Tendering, Shijiazhuang No.4 Pharma shall refund the Fixed Income and all other payments made by the Property Developer (without interest) to the Property Developer within 7 working days from the Public Tendering. Shijiazhuang No.4 Pharma shall then be entitled to retain the Compensation received under the Land Repurchase Agreement.

If the Property Developer does not participate in the Public Tendering of the Land Parcel, Shijiazhuang No.4 Pharma shall have the right to retain the Fixed Income.

Save for the Fixed Income, Shijiazhuang No.4 Pharma shall not participate in the sharing of income or profits from the Project, nor shall it be responsible for the operational losses arising from the Project.

The Property Developer shall be responsible for all the development works of the Project, including but not limited to project development and construction, operational management and sales and marketing. The Property Developer shall be responsible for all the funding and investments into the Project. Upon obtaining the Land Parcel, the Property Developer shall also be solely responsible for the development and operations of the Project.

- 2 -

As all of the applicable percentage ratios calculated in accordance with the Listing Rules in respect of the disposal of the Land Parcel are less than 5%, the disposal does not constitute a notifiable transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

REASONS FOR ENTERING INTO THE LAND REPURCHAE AGREEMENT

The Land Parcel is largely vacant land near the central region of Shijiazhuang where Shijiazhuang No.4 Pharma's factory was previously located. The Directors believe that the disposal will realise the value of the Land Parcel and will enable the Group to free up capital for its business operations. The Directors consider that the terms of the Land Repurchase Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The cash proceeds from the disposal will be used as general working capital of the Group. Further development regarding the Land Repurchase Agreement will be announced by the Company as and when appropriate in accordance with the Listing Rules.

The receipt of Compensation by Shijiazhuang No.4 Pharma pursuant to the Land Repurchase Agreement may or may not materialise. Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the shares of the Company.
