INFORMATION ON THE PARTIES

The Company

The Company is dedicated to exploring best solutions to the prevention of infectious diseases through engaging in research & development, manufacturing and commercialization of high quality vaccine products for human use worldwide.

SPD Bank

SPD Bank is a licensed bank in the PRC and a joint stock company established under the laws of the PRC, which provides corporate and personal banking business, treasury business, finance leasing, asset management and other financial services in the PRC. Its shares are listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (stock code: 600000). To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, SPD Bank and its ultimate beneficial owners are parties independent of the Company and its connected persons as of the date of this announcement.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE PURCHASE OF STRUCTURED DEPOSITS

The Company is of the view that the reasonable and efficient use of temporary idle funds will enhance the overall capital gain of the Company, which is consistent with the core objectives of the Company to ensure capital safety and liquidity. The impact of risk factors on the expected rates of return of the Structured Deposit Agreements is low, but the Group could get a higher return as compared with fixed term deposit in commercial banks in the PRC.

The Directors consider that the terms of the Structured Deposit Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms or better and in the ordinary course of business of the Group, and are in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As all of the applicable percentage ratios (as calculated under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the transaction under the Structured Deposit Agreement I were below 5%, the purchase of structured deposit thereunder does not constitute a discloseable transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules on a standalone basis.

As the highest applicable percentage ratio in respect of the transaction under the Structured Deposit Agreement II exceeds 5% but all of the applicable percentage ratios are less than 25%, the purchase of structured deposit under the Structured Deposit Agreement II constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules on a standalone basis. As the Structured Deposit Agreement II was entered into with the same bank and the transaction thereunder is of a similar nature as the transaction under the Structured Deposit Agreement I, the transactions contemplated under the Structured Deposit Agreements shall be aggregated pursuant to Rule 14.22 of the Listing Rules.

As the highest applicable percentage ratio in respect of the purchase of structure deposits under the Structured Deposit Agreements, on an aggregate basis, exceeds 5% but all of the applicable percentage ratios are less than 25%, the purchase of structured deposits under the Structured Deposit Agreements constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is subject to the notification and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
