In respect of the 2021 Platform Services Framework Agreement, the Company believes that by marketing and selling products or services on online sales platforms operated by the AGH Relevant Entities, it will be able to reach out to more customers and improve its understanding of their needs in order to facilitate product circulation along the healthcare retail chain to offer quality products and services at competitive prices.

In respect of the 2021 Advertising Services Framework Agreement, the Group has identified the need for coordinated marketing and advertising services for the promotion of the Group's and its clients' products on various e-commerce platforms. The Group believes that the advertising services and resources provided by Alibaba Group are effective marketing tools which will enable the Group to reach out to more customers and boost the sales of the Group's and its clients' products. In particular, the Group intends to offer quality products and services at competitive prices and enhance the turnover of its stock in the pharmaceutical and healthcare retail chains. Seeing the positive impact of Alibaba Group's advertising services on the Group's sales, the Group intends to allocate more resources to such advertising services provided by Alibaba Group going forward.

Accordingly, they abstained from voting on the resolutions in connection with the 2021 CCT Agreements, the transactions contemplated thereunder and the annual caps related thereto. Other than the aforesaid Directors, no other Directors have a material interest in the 2021 CCT Agreements or are required to abstain from voting on the resolutions of the Board approving the same.
