JOINT ANNOUNCEMENT

PARTIAL OFFERS

IRREVOCABLE UNDERTAKING FROM KINGSTON SECURITIES

AND

UPDATE ON PRE-CONDITIONS

Financial Adviser to the Offeror

References are made to (i) the joint announcement issued by Goal Success Investments Limited (the "Offeror"), Wai Yuen Tong Medicine Holdings Limited ("WYT"), Wang On Group Limited ("WOG"), Easy One Financial Group Limited ("EOG") and China Agri-Products Exchange Limited ("CAP") dated 26 September 2019 (the "Joint Announcement") in relation to, among other things, the Partial Offers (as defined in the Joint Announcement); (ii) the joint announcement issued by the Offeror, WYT, WOG, EOG and CAP dated 16 October 2019 in relation to, among other things, the satisfaction of a Pre-Condition (as defined in the Joint Announcement); and (iii) the joint announcement for a monthly update issued by the Offeror, WYT, WOG, EOG and CAP dated 15 November 2019 (the "November Announcement"). Unless otherwise defined, capitalised terms used herein shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Joint Announcement.

IRREVOCABLE UNDERTAKING BY KINGSTON SECURITIES

On 26 November 2019, Kingston Securities, which is the agent making the Partial Offers on behalf of the Offeror and a party presumed to be acting in concert with the Offeror, and the holder of 793,254,588 CAP Shares (the "Relevant CAP Shares"), representing approximately 7.97% of the CAP Shares in issue, gave an irrevocable undertaking (the "Kingston Irrevocable Undertaking") to the Offeror that, among other things:-

  1. it will accept the Partial Share Offer in respect of all of the Relevant CAP Shares;
  2. it will take such step(s) to effect such acceptance of the Partial Share Offer and transfer to the Offeror of the Relevant CAP Shares (or the relevant portion thereof after scaling down in accordance with the terms of the Partial Share Offer);

- 2 -

  1. it will not withdraw its acceptance of the Partial Share Offer; and
  2. it will not sell, transfer, encumber, grant any option over or otherwise dispose of any of the Relevant CAP Shares or any interest in the Relevant CAP Shares except pursuant to the Partial Share Offer.

As at the date of this joint announcement, apart from the EOG Irrevocable Undertaking and the Kingston Irrevocable Undertaking, the Offeror and parties acting in concert with it have not received any indication or irrevocable commitment from any CAP Shareholder and Convertible Noteholder to accept or reject the Partial Offers.

UPDATE ON PRE-CONDITIONS

References are also made to (i) the circulars issued by each of WOG and WYT dated 11 November 2019 (the "Circulars") in relation to, among other things, the Partial Offers and the Loan; (ii) the notice of each of the WYT SGM and the WOG SGM to be held on 27 November 2019 (the "SGMs"), which contains the text of two respective resolutions in respect of the Partial Offers (the "Partial Offers Resolution") and the Loan (the "Loan Resolution"); and (iii) the proxy form for each of the WYT SGM and the WOG SGM.

In connection with the Pre-Conditions regarding approval by the WYT Shareholders at the WYT SGM, and approval by the WOG Shareholders at the WOG SGM, the Offeror wishes to give an update since the November Announcement that as further information may be provided in relation to the Partial Offers, in order to allow sufficient time for the WYT Shareholders and the WOG Shareholders to consider such further information, it is proposed that the chairman of each of the WYT SGM and the WOG SGM will, with the consent of the respective WYT SGM and the WOG SGM, adjourn the voting on the Partial Offers Resolution to a date to be determined pending further announcement(s).

For the avoidance of doubt, the Loan Resolution will still be put forward at the respective SGMs for the WYT Independent Shareholders and the WOG Independent Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the same.

Further announcement(s) will be made in accordance with the Listing Rules and the Takeovers Code (as the case may be) on the status and progress in connection with the satisfaction of the Pre-Conditions and the Partial Offers as and when appropriate.

- 3 -

As the making of the Partial Offers is subject to the satisfaction of the Pre-Conditions, the Partial Offers may or may not be made. Further, completion of the Partial Offers is subject to the Conditions being fulfilled. Accordingly, CAP Shareholders, Convertible Noteholders, WYT Shareholders, WOG Shareholders and prospective investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of CAP, WYT or WOG. Persons who are in doubt as to the action they should take should consult their stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor or other professional advisers.
