The Company intends to apply the net proceeds from the Primary Placing to support its development of vaccines and microbial based products as well as continuous global capacity expansion including, but not limited to, its facilities in the United States, Europe and the PRC, to satisfy the increasing demand from the customers of the Group.

The Primary Placing Agreement or the Secondary Placing Agreement may be terminated pursuant to the respective termination provisions contained therein.

As the Primary Placing and/or the Secondary Placing may or may not proceed, Shareholders and potential investors are reminded to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares and other securities of the Company.

In the event that the Placing Agent terminates the Primary Placing Agreement, all obligations of each of the parties under the Primary Placing Agreement shall cease and determine and no party shall have any claim against any other party in respect of any matter arising out of or in connection with the Primary Placing Agreement except for, among other things, any antecedent breach of any obligations under the Primary Placing Agreement.

Condition of the Primary Placing

Completion of the Primary Placing

Completion of the Primary Placing will take place on the Business Day following the day on which the condition referred to above is fulfilled but in any event no later than November 8, 2019, or such other date as the parties may agree in writing. For the avoidance of doubt, completion of the Primary Placing is not conditional upon completion of the Secondary Placing.

Application for Listing

An application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the new Shares to be issued pursuant to the Primary Placing.

- 6 -

General Mandate to Issue the Primary Placing Shares

The Primary Placing Shares are to be issued pursuant to the General Mandate. Under the General Mandate, the Company is authorized to issue up to 247,678,163 Shares. As at the date of this announcement, the Company has not issued any Shares pursuant to the General Mandate and therefore the Company is permitted to issue up to 247,678,163 Shares under the General Mandate. Accordingly, the issue of the Primary Placing Shares is not subject to the approval of the Shareholders.

Lock-up Undertaking by the Company

The Company has undertaken to the Placing Agent that, for a period from the date of the Primary Placing Agreement up to three months after the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any person acting on its behalf will (i) sell, transfer, dispose, allot or issue or offer to sell, transfer, dispose, allot or issue or grant any option, right or warrant to subscribe (either conditionally or unconditionally, or directly or indirectly, or otherwise) any Shares or any interests in Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for or substantially similar to any Shares or interest in Shares or (ii) agree (conditionally or unconditionally) to enter into or effect any such transaction with the same economic effect as any of the transactions described in (i) above or (iii) announce any intention to enter into or effect any such transaction described in (i) or (ii) above without first having obtained the written consent of the Placing Agent.

REASONS FOR THE PRIMARY PLACING AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Assuming the Primary Placing Shares are fully placed, the gross proceeds from the Primary Placing are expected to be HK$3,952.50 million (equivalent to approximately US$506.73 million), the net proceeds (after deducting all applicable costs and expenses, including commission and levies) will be approximately HK$3,928.76 million (equivalent to approximately US$503.69 million), and the net price per Primary Placing Share will be approximately HK$84.80. The Company intends to apply the net proceeds from the Primary Placing to support its development of vaccines and microbial based products as well as continuous global capacity expansion including, but not limited to its facilities in the United States, Europe and the PRC, to satisfy the increasing demand from the customers of the Group.

- 7 -

As disclosed in the Prospectus and the interim report of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company proposed to use approximately RMB1,739.7 million of the proceeds from its Global Offering (including the exercise of the over-allotment option) towards the construction of its new facilities and existing facility improvement and maintenance, and as of June 30, 2019, the unutilized net proceeds available for such use amounted to approximately RMB149.7 million. The Company has been undertaking such expansion and improvement work for its facilities as set out in the Prospectus. Based on the Group's ongoing integrated projects, it is estimated that the current commercial manufacturing capacity of the Group may not be able to satisfy its projects' demand in the near future.

Further, the revenue of the Group recorded an increase of 52.4% from approximately RMB1,054.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to approximately RMB1,607.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. In order to maintain a strong revenue growth, the Group has expanded its business into two new areas, namely, vaccines and microbial-based products, while at the same time continuing to increase its global capacity. The Group believes that the continuous capability and capacity expansion as well as cooperation with and commitment to its customers will further enhance its value chain and allow it to continue to capture future opportunities in this growing market.

In light of the above and the strong performance of the price of the Shares since the Global Offering, the Directors (including independent non-executive Directors) consider that the Primary Placing represents a good opportunity for the Company to raise further capital to fund its future expansion. The Directors (including independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the Primary Placing, the Primary Placing Price and the Primary Placing Agreement are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS

The Company has not conducted any fund raising activities involving the issue of equity securities within the 12 months immediately prior to the date of this announcement.

2. P L A C I N G O F E X I S T I N G S H A R E S B Y C O N T R O L L I N G SHAREHOLDER

On October 31, 2019, the Board has been informed by one of the controlling shareholders of the Company, Biologics Holdings, that it has entered into the Secondary Placing Agreement with the Placing Agent pursuant to which the Placing Agent has agreed to place 46,500,000 Secondary Placing Shares (representing approximately 3.73% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement) held by Biologics Holdings to Independent Third Parties at a price of HK$85.00 each.

Completion of the Secondary Placing

Completion of the Secondary Placing is expected to take place on or around November 5, 2019. For the avoidance of doubt, completion of the Secondary Placing is not conditional upon completion of the Primary Placing.

Lock-up Undertakings by Biologics Holdings

Biologics Holdings has undertaken to the Placing Agent that it shall not, without the prior written consent of the Placing Agent, (i) offer, sell, lend, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option over or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise) by Biologics Holdings, directly or indirectly), any equity securities of the Company or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, equity securities of the Company, (ii) enter into any swap or similar agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic risk of ownership of such shares, whether any such transaction described in (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of shares of the Company or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly announce an intention to effect any such transaction, for a period beginning on the date of the Secondary Placing Agreement and ending on the date which is three months after the closing date of the Secondary Placing. The foregoing shall not apply to (a) the Secondary Placing; and (b) the proposed transfer of up to a total of 2,000,489 Shares, representing approximately 0.16% of the issued share capital of the Company, by Biologics Holdings to G&C VI Limited, an entity indirectly and wholly-owned by Dr. Li, for charitable donation purpose.

THE WAIVER AND WRITTEN CONSENT

Pursuant to the Block Trade Agreement dated June 18, 2019, Biologics Holdings undertook to the Placing Agent that it shall not, among other things, offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of the Company for a period of six months after June 21, 2019 without the prior written consent of the Placing Agent. In light of the proposed transactions under the Secondary Placing Agreement, the Placing Agent has given its written consent pursuant to the Block Trade Agreement in respect of the Secondary Placing and the Proposed Transfer.
