SINGAPORE, 28 August 2021 - Asia's integrated healthcare company, Clearbridge Health

Limited ("Clearbridge" or the "Company" and together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") ("明策集团"), is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Clearbridge Medical Group Pte. Ltd. ("CBMG"), has received the first batch of SARS-CoV-2Vaccine (Vero Cell), Inactivated or COVID-19Vaccine (Vero Cell), Inactivated, also known as COVID-19Vaccine BIBP (the "Sinopharm COVID-19Vaccine") in Singapore.

On 9 August 2021, Clearbridge announced that CBMG has entered into a purchase contract with, among others, China National Biotec Group Company Limited (中国生物技术股份有限 公司) ("CNBG") and Beijing Institute of Biological Product Co., Ltd. (北京生物制品研究所有 限责任公司), a subsidiary of CNBG, to purchase the Sinopharm COVID-19 Vaccine for use in Singapore.

Based on a World Health Organization ("WHO") COVID-19 Vaccine - Explainer Document1 dated 24 May 2021 (the "WHO Explainer"), the Sinopharm COVID-19 Vaccine is a form of vaccine categorised as "inactivated vaccines" which is reported to stimulate the body's immune system without risk of causing disease. Once inactivated viruses are presented to the body's immune system, they stimulate the production of antibodies, which prepares the body to respond to future live SARS-CoV-2 infections. In addition, the WHO Explainer had also cited a result of a large multi-country phase 3 trial which has shown that two doses administered at an interval of 21 days had the efficacy of 79% against symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection 14 days or more after the second dose. The Sinopharm COVID-19 Vaccine does not guarantee full immunity against COVID-19.

The Sinopharm COVID-19 Vaccine has been authorised for conditional or emergency use in several countries including the People's Republic of China, the United Arab Emirates, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia. It has also been listed by the WHO for emergency use.

Medic Surgical Private Limited, a subsidiary of the Company which operates Medic Surgical & Laser Clinic, has been granted approval under the Health Sciences Authority of Singapore's Special Access Route ("SAR") scheme to import and supply the Sinopharm COVID-19 Vaccine in Singapore (the "SAR Approval").
