PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

In view of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Company will implement necessary preventive measures at the AGM to protect attending Shareholders, proxy and other attendees from the risk of infection, including without limitation:

  1. compulsory body temperature check will be conducted on every attendee at the entrance of the AGM venue. Any person with a body temperature of over 37.2 degrees Celsius may be denied entry into the AGM venue or be required to leave the AGM venue;
  2. each attendee is required to prepare his/her own surgical face mask and wear the same inside the AGM venue at all times, and to maintain a safe distance between seats; and
  3. no corporate gifts will be distributed and no refreshments will be served.

To the extent permitted under applicable laws, the Company reserves the right to deny entry into the AGM venue or require any person to leave the AGM venue in order to ensure the safety of the attendees at the AGM. Subject to the development of COVID-19, the Company may implement further changes and precautionary measures and may issue further announcement on such measures as appropriate.

In the interest of all attendees' health and safety, the Company wishes to advise all Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the AGM is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights.

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The following is an explanatory statement required by Rule 10.06(b) of the Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with requisite information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the AGM in relation to the granting of the Repurchase Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 252,734,273 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 6 of the notice of AGM in respect of the granting of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased before the AGM, i.e. being 252,734,273 Shares, the Directors would be authorized under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Repurchase Mandate remains in force, a total of 25,273,472 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the AGM.

2. REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Repurchases of the Shares may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

3. FUNDING OF SHARE REPURCHASE

In repurchasing Shares, the company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association, the laws of the Cayman Islands and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.

4. IMPACT OF SHARE REPURCHASE

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2020) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the

- 17 -

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

5. MARKET PRICES OF SHARES

The highest and lowest prices per Share at which Shares have been traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange during each of the previous twelve months up to and including the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

6. GENERAL

To the best of their knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

- 18 -

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

7. TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholder's interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

To the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, the Substantial Shareholders, namely Dr. Yang, Dr. Wang, Dr. Zhai, Dr. Guo, Ascentage Limited and HealthQuest Pharma Limited are parties acting in concert pursuant to the Concert Party Confirmation Deed. As at the Latest Practicable Date, each of the Substantial Shareholders was taken to have an interest under the SFO in the same block of 67,204,967 Shares, representing 26.59% of the total issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise the proposed Repurchase Mandate in full, the shareholding of each of the Substantial Shareholders would be increased to approximately 29.55% of the total issued share capital of the Company.

The Directors are aware of any consequences which may give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as may result in the public shareholding falling below the minimum public float requirement and will ensure that the Company shall comply with the requirements of the Listing Rules, including the minimum percentage of Shares being held in public hands.

8. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

During the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had not repurchased any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).
