THIS DOCUMENT IS IMPORTANT AND REQUIRES YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION

NOTICE TO US INVESTORS

The Proposal is being made to cancel the securities of a Cayman Islands company by means of a scheme of arrangement provided for under the Companies Law. The financial information included in this Scheme Document (if any) has been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards and thus may not be comparable to financial information of US companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

A transaction effected by means of a scheme of arrangement is not subject to the tender offer rules of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, the Proposal is subject to the disclosure requirements and practices applicable in the Cayman Islands and Hong Kong to schemes of arrangement which differ from the disclosure and procedural requirements of the US tender offer rules.

The receipt of cash pursuant to the Proposal by a US holder of Disinterested Scheme Shares as consideration for the cancellation of its Disinterested Scheme Shares pursuant to the Scheme may be a taxable transaction for US federal income tax purposes and under applicable US state and local, as well as foreign and other tax laws. Each holder of Disinterested Scheme Shares is urged to consult his independent professional adviser immediately regarding the tax consequences of the Proposal applicable to him.

It may be difficult for US holders of Disinterested Scheme Shares to enforce their rights and claims arising out of the US federal securities laws, since the Offeror and the Company are located in a country other than the United States, and some or all of their officers and directors may be residents of a country other than the United States. US holders of Disinterested Scheme Shares may not be able to sue a non-US company or its officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of the US securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-US company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a US court's judgement.

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN BY SHAREHOLDERS

For the purposes of determining the entitlements of holders of the Disinterested Scheme Shares to attend and vote at the Court Meeting and Shareholders to attend and vote at the General Meeting, the register of members of the Company will be closed from Monday, 14 September 2020 to Wednesday, 16 September 2020 (both days inclusive) and during such period, no transfer of Shares will be effected. In order to qualify to vote at the Court Meeting and the General Meeting, all transfers accompanied by the relevant share certificates must be lodged with the Share Registrar at Shops 1712-1716, 17/F, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong before 4 : 30 p.m. (Hong Kong time) on Friday, 11 September 2020.

A pink form of proxy for use at the Court Meeting and a white form of proxy for use at the General Meeting are enclosed with copies of this Scheme Document sent to Registered Owners. Subsequent purchasers of the Disinterested Scheme Shares will need to obtain the proxy forms from the transferor if he or she wishes to attend or vote at the Court Meeting and/or the General Meeting.

The register of members of the Company will be closed during such period for the purpose of determining the entitlements of the holders of Disinterested Scheme Shares to attend and vote at the Court Meeting and of the Shareholders to attend and vote at the General Meeting. This book closure period is not for determining entitlements under the Scheme.

Whether or not you are able to attend the Court Meeting and/or the General Meeting, if you are a holder of the Disinterested Scheme Shares, we strongly urge you to complete and sign the enclosed pink form of proxy in respect of the Court Meeting, and if you are a Shareholder, we strongly urge you to complete and sign the enclosed white form of proxy in respect of the General Meeting, in accordance with the instructions printed thereon, and to lodge them at the office of the Share Registrar at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong. In order to be valid, the pink form of proxy for use at the Court Meeting must be lodged not later than 2 : 00 p.m. (Hong Kong time) on Monday, 14 September 2020 or be handed to the Chairman of the Court Meeting at the Court Meeting (who shall have absolute discretion as to whether or not to accept it), and the white form of proxy for use at the General Meeting must be lodged not later than 2 : 30 p.m. (Hong Kong time) on Monday, 14 September 2020. The completion and return of a form of proxy for the Court Meeting and/or the General Meeting will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the relevant meeting. In such event, the returned form of proxy will be deemed to have been revoked.

If you do not appoint a proxy and you do not attend and vote at the Court Meeting and/or the General Meeting, you will still be bound by the outcome of the Court Meeting and the General Meeting if, among other things, the resolutions are passed by the requisite majorities of the holders of the Disinterested Scheme Shares or the holders of the Shares (as the case may be). We therefore strongly urge you to attend and vote at the Court Meeting and/or the General Meeting in person or by proxy.

Voting at the Court Meeting and the General Meeting will be taken by poll.

- 7 -

PART II.

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN

The Company and the Offeror will make an announcement in relation to the results of the Court Meeting and the General Meeting no later than 7 : 00 p.m. on Wednesday, 16 September 2020. If all the resolutions are passed at those meetings, the Company will make further announcement(s) of the results of the hearing of the petitions to, among other things, sanction the Scheme by the Grand Court and, if the Scheme is sanctioned, the Record Date, the Effective Date and the date of withdrawal of the listing of the Shares on the Stock Exchange.

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN BY HOLDERS THROUGH TRUST OR CCASS

The Company will not recognise any person as holding any Shares through any trust. If you are a Beneficial Owner whose Shares are held upon trust by, and registered in the name of, a Registered Owner (other than HKSCC Nominees Limited), you should contact the Registered Owner and provide the Registered Owner with instructions or make arrangements with the Registered Owner in relation to the manner in which your Shares should be voted at the Court Meeting and/or the General Meeting. Such instructions and/or arrangements should be given or made in advance of the deadline in respect of the Court Meeting and the General Meeting set by the Registered Owner in order to provide the Registered Owner with sufficient time to accurately complete his, her or its proxy and to submit it by the latest time for the lodgement of forms of proxy in respect of the Court Meeting and the General Meeting. To the extent that any Registered Owner requires instructions from or arrangements to be made with any Beneficial Owner at a particular date or time in advance of the latest time for the lodgment of forms of proxy in respect of the Court Meeting and the General Meeting, then any such Beneficial Owner should comply with the requirements of the Registered Owner.

If you are a Beneficial Owner whose Shares are deposited in CCASS and registered under the name of HKSCC Nominees Limited, you must, unless you are an Investor Participant, contact your broker, custodian, nominee or other relevant person who is, or has, in turn, deposited such Shares with, another CCASS Participant regarding voting instructions to be given to such persons if you wish to vote at the Court Meeting and/or at the General Meeting. You should contact your broker, custodian, nominee or other relevant person in advance of the deadline in respect of the Court Meeting and the General Meeting set by them, in order to provide such broker, custodian, nominee or other relevant person with sufficient time to provide HKSCC Nominees Limited with instructions or make arrangements with HKSCC Nominees Limited in relation to the manner in which the Shares of the Beneficial Owner should be voted at the Court Meeting and/or the General Meeting. The procedure for voting in respect of the Scheme by HKSCC Nominees Limited with respect to the Shares registered under the name of HKSCC Nominees Limited shall be in accordance with the ''General Rules of CCASS'' and the ''CCASS Operational Procedures'' in effect from time to time. In accordance with the directions from the Grand Court, HKSCC Nominees Limited is permitted to vote once for and once against the Scheme in accordance with the instructions from the CCASS Participants for the purposes of ascertaining whether or not the requirement that a majority in number of the Scheme Shareholders approve the Scheme under section 86(2) of the Companies Law has been satisfied. The number of votes cast in favour of the Scheme and the number of CCASS Participants on whose instructions they are cast and the number of votes cast against the Scheme and the number of CCASS

- 8 -

PART II.

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN

Participants on whose instructions they are cast will be disclosed to the Grand Court and may be taken into account by the Grand Court in deciding whether or not it should exercise its discretion to sanction the Scheme.

If you are a Beneficial Owner whose Shares are deposited in CCASS, you may also elect to become a Shareholder of record, and thereby have the right to attend and vote at the Court Meeting (if you are a holder of the Disinterested Scheme Shares) and the General Meeting (as a Shareholder). You can become a Shareholder of record by withdrawing all or any of your Shares from CCASS and becoming a Registered Owner of such Shares. For withdrawal of Shares from CCASS and registration thereof, you will be required to pay to CCASS a withdrawal fee per board lot withdrawn, a registration fee for each share certificate issued, stamp duty on each transfer instrument and, if your Shares are held through a financial intermediary, any other relevant fees charged by your financial intermediary. You should contact your broker, custodian, nominee or other relevant person in advance of the latest time for lodging transfers of the Shares into your name so as to qualify to attend and vote at the Court Meeting and the General Meeting, in order to provide such broker, custodian, nominee or other relevant person with sufficient time to withdraw the Shares from CCASS and register them in your name.

The Scheme will lapse if any of the Conditions has not been fulfilled or waived, as applicable, on or before the Long Stop Date. The listing of the Shares on the Stock Exchange will not be withdrawn if the Scheme does not become effective or the Proposal otherwise lapses.

If the Scheme is not approved or the Proposal otherwise lapses, there are restrictions under the Takeovers Code on making subsequent offers, to the effect that neither the Offeror nor any person who acted in concert with it in the course of the Proposal (nor any person who is subsequently acting in concert it) may within 12 months from the date on which the Scheme is not approved or the Proposal otherwise lapses announce an offer or possible offer for the Company, except with the consent of the Executive.

If the Independent Board Committee or the Independent Financial Adviser does not recommend the Proposal, and the Scheme is not approved, all expenses incurred by the Company in connection therewith shall be borne by the Offeror in accordance with Rule 2.3 of the Takeovers Code.

Shareholders and potential investors should exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company. Persons who are in doubt as to the action they should take should consult their stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor or other professional advisers.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Set out below is the letter of advice from Somerley Capital Limited, the Independent Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee regarding the Proposal and the Scheme and the Undertaking prepared for the purpose of incorporation in this Scheme Document.

SOMERLEY CAPITAL LIMITED

20th Floor China Building

29 Queen's Road Central

Hong Kong

21 August 2020

To: the Independent Board Committee

Dear Sirs,

  1. PROPOSAL FOR THE PRIVATISATION OF GOLDEN MEDITECH HOLDINGS LIMITED BY THE OFFEROR

BY WAY OF A SCHEME OF ARRANGEMENT

(UNDER SECTION 86 OF THE COMPANIES LAW)

  1. PROPOSED WITHDRAWAL OF LISTING

AND

(3) SPECIAL DEAL RELATING TO THE UNDERTAKING

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our appointment to advise the Independent Board Committee in connection with the Proposal and the Scheme. Details of the Proposal and the Scheme are set out in the Scheme Document dated 21 August 2020, of which this letter forms part. Terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Scheme Document unless the context otherwise requires.

On 17 June 2020, the Company and the Offeror jointly announced that on 9 June 2020, the Offeror requested the Board to put forward a proposal to the Scheme Shareholders for the privatisation of the Company by way of a scheme of arrangement under Section 86 of the Companies Law involving the cancellation of the Disinterested Scheme Shares and, in consideration thereof, the payment to the Scheme Shareholders of the Cancellation Price of HK$0.88 in cash for each Scheme Share so cancelled, and the withdrawal of the listing of the Shares on the Stock Exchange.

On 17 June 2020, the Offeror and the Company received the Undertaking from Atlantis, pursuant to which Atlantis has irrevocably and unconditionally undertaken that, amongst other things, Atlantis will not participate in the Proposal and the Scheme in respect of any of the Atlantis Shares and none of the Atlantis Shares shall constitute the Disinterested Scheme Shares, and that Atlantis will not sell or otherwise dispose of any of

- 31 -

PART VI.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

the Atlantis Shares or acquire any additional interest in any of the Shares. Detailed terms of the Undertaking are set out in the section headed ''Principal terms of the Proposal and the Scheme - The Undertaking'' below.

As a result of the Undertaking, Atlantis is a party acting in concert with the Offeror as Atlantis will remain as a Shareholder after the completion of the Proposal and the Scheme. The Undertaking constitutes a special deal and is therefore conditional on (i) the Disinterested Shareholders' approval at the General Meeting; and (ii) the consent from the Executive pursuant to Rule 25 of the Takeovers Code.

The Independent Board Committee comprising the following independent non- executive Directors, namely Mr. Gao Yue, Mr. Poon Tsz Hang and Mr. Daniel Foa, has been established to make a recommendation to the Disinterested Shareholders as to (i) whether the terms of the Proposal and the Scheme and the Undertaking are, or are not, fair and reasonable; and (ii) whether to vote in favour of the relevant resolution(s) to be proposed at the Court Meeting and the General Meeting to approve and implement the Proposal and the Undertaking. The Independent Board Committee has approved our appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee in these regards.

We are not associated with the Company, the Offeror, Atlantis, or any party acting, or presumed to be acting, in concert with any of them and, accordingly, are considered eligible to give independent advice on the Proposal and the Scheme and the Undertaking. Apart from normal professional fees paid or payable to us in connection with this appointment, no arrangement exists whereby we will receive any fees or benefits from the Company, the Offeror or any party acting, or presumed to be acting, in concert with any of them.

In formulating our opinion, we have relied on the information and facts supplied, and the opinions expressed, by the Directors and management of the Group, which we have assumed to be true, accurate and complete. We have reviewed, among other things, the annual reports of the Company for each of the three years ended 31 March 2020, the property valuation report prepared by Roma Appraisals Limited (the ''Valuer''), the trading performance of the Shares on the Stock Exchange, and information set out in the Scheme Document. We have sought and received confirmation from the Directors that no material facts have been omitted from the information supplied and opinions expressed to us. We consider that the information we have received is sufficient for us to reach our opinion and give the advice and recommendation set out in this letter. We have no reason to believe that any material information has been omitted or withheld, or to doubt the truth or accuracy of the information provided. We have, however, not conducted any independent investigation into the business and affairs of the Group, the Offeror or any of their respective associates or any party acting, or presumed to be acting, in concert with any of them, nor have we carried out any independent verification of the information supplied. We have also assumed that all representations contained or referred to in the Scheme Document were true at the time they were made and at the date of the Scheme Document and will continue to be true up to the time of the Court Meeting and the General Meeting, and Disinterested Shareholders will be informed of any material change as soon as possible according to the requirements of Rule 9.1 of the Takeovers Code.

- 32 -

PART VI.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

We have not considered the tax and regulatory implications on the Disinterested Shareholders of acceptance or non-acceptance of the Proposal, as the case may be, since these are particular to their individual circumstances. In particular, the Disinterested Shareholders who are overseas residents or subject to overseas taxation or Hong Kong taxation on securities dealings should consider their own tax position and, if in any doubt, should consult their own professional advisers.

PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE PROPOSAL AND THE SCHEME

The Proposal and the Scheme and the Cancellation Price

On 9 June 2020, the Offeror requested the Board to put forward the Proposal to the Scheme Shareholders for the privatisation of the Company by way of a scheme of arrangement under Section 86 of the Companies Law involving the cancellation of the Disinterested Scheme Shares and, in consideration thereof, the payment to the Scheme Shareholders of the Cancellation Price in cash for each Disinterested Scheme Share, and the withdrawal of the listing of the Shares on the Stock Exchange.

If the Proposal is approved and implemented, under the Scheme, the issued share capital of the Company will, on the Effective Date of the Scheme, be reduced by the cancellation of the Disinterested Scheme Shares. Upon such reduction, the issued share capital of the Company will be increased to its former amount by the issuance at par to the Offeror, credited as fully paid, of the aggregate number of Shares as is equal to the number of Disinterested Scheme Shares cancelled. The credit arising in the Company's books of account as a result of the issued capital reduction will be applied in paying up in full at par the new Shares so issued, credited as fully paid, to the Offeror.

Cancellation Price

Under the Scheme, the Scheme Shareholders will receive from the Offeror the Cancellation Price of HK$0.88 in cash for each Disinterested Scheme Share as consideration for the cancellation of the Disinterested Scheme Shares held as at the Effective Date.

As disclosed in the Explanatory Memorandum of the Scheme Document, the Company did not declare any dividend for the six months ended 30 September 2019 and the financial year ended 31 March 2020, and as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had no intention to make, declare or pay any future dividends/distribution until after completion of the Proposal and the Scheme.

As disclosed in the Explanatory Memorandum of the Scheme Document, the Cancellation Price will not be increased, and the Offeror does not reserve the right to do so.

The Cancellation Price has been determined on a commercial basis after taking into account, among others, the prices of the Shares traded on the Stock Exchange.

During the six-month period preceding and including the 17 June 2020, the highest closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange was HK$0.85 on 19, 23 and 31 December 2019 and the lowest closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange was HK$0.48 on 22 May 2020.

PART VI.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Total consideration and financial resources

On the assumption that no further Shares are to be issued before the Record Date, the Disinterested Scheme Shares comprise 482,754,049 Shares which represent approximately 16.55% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date and the amount of cash required for cancelling the Disinterested Scheme Shares under the Proposal is approximately HK$424,824,000 based on the Cancellation Price.

The cash required for the Proposal is financed by the cash proceeds received from the subscriptions pursuant to the Subscription Agreement. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, each of the Subscribers has agreed to subscribe for and the Offeror has agreed to allot and issue (i) an aggregate of 54 new shares of the Offeror with an aggregate cash consideration of HK$54 (i.e. 1st Tranche Subscription); and (ii) an aggregate of 9,945 new shares of the Offeror with an aggregate cash consideration of US$55,000,000 (i.e. 2nd Tranche Subscription). Upon completion of the 1st Tranche Subscription, each of the Subscribers will become a shareholder of the Offeror.

As stated in the Explanatory Memorandum in the Scheme Document, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Offeror Bank Account had been established. The aggregate cash consideration of HK$54 (being the 1st Tranche Subscription Consideration) has already been deposited into the Offeror Bank Account. The 1st Tranche Subscription is expected to be completed on 20 August 2020, as time is required to go through the administrative procedure for issuing new shares of the Offeror, pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement. The aggregate cash consideration of approximately US$55,000,000 (being the 2nd Tranche Subscription Consideration) has already been made available and deposited in the respective accounts of each of the Subscribers and earmarked for the sole purpose of the payment of Cancellation Price. Pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement, the 2nd Tranche Subscription shall take place on the 2nd Tranche Completion Date, being effectively the second (2nd) Business Day following the date of the General Meeting.

Details of the Subscription Agreement are set out in the section headed ''4. The Subscription Agreement'' in ''Part VII. - Explanatory Memorandum'' of the Scheme Document. Amasse Capital, the financial adviser to the Offeror, is satisfied that sufficient financial resources are available to the Offeror for discharging its obligations in respect of the full implementation of the Proposal.

Conditions of the Proposal and the Scheme

The implementation of the Proposal is, and the Scheme will become effective and binding on the Company and all Scheme Shareholders subject to the fulfilment or waiver (as applicable) of the following Conditions:

  1. the approval of the Scheme (by way of poll) by a majority in number of the Scheme Shareholders holding not less than 75% of the votes attaching to the Disinterested Scheme Shares held by the Scheme Shareholders present and voting either in person or by proxy at the Court Meeting;

  2.

  3. in relation to the Undertaking, (i) the receipt of an opinion from the Independent Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee, confirming that the Undertaking is fair and reasonable; (ii) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Disinterested Shareholders at the General Meeting to approve the Undertaking; and (iii) the consent of the Executive for the Undertaking obtained pursuant to Rule 25 of the Takeovers Code;

- 35 -

PART VI.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

  1. all necessary consents which may be required for the implementation of the Proposal and the Scheme under any existing contractual obligations of the Company being obtained or waived by the relevant party(ies), where any failure to obtain such consent or waiver would have a material adverse effect on the business of the Group;
  2. no government, governmental, quasi-governmental, statutory or regulatory body, court or agency in any jurisdiction having taken or instituted any action, proceeding, suit, investigation or enquiry or enacted, made or proposed, and there not continuing to be outstanding, any statute, regulation, demand or order that would make the Proposal or the Scheme or its implementation in accordance with its terms void, unenforceable, illegal or impracticable (or which would impose any material and adverse conditions or obligations with respect to the Proposal or the Scheme or its implementation in accordance with its terms), other than such actions, proceedings, suits, investigations or enquiries as would not have a material adverse effect on the legal ability of the Offeror to proceed with the Proposal or the Scheme; and
  3. since the date of the Announcement, there having been no adverse change in the business, assets, financial or trading position, profits or prospects of the Group (to an extent which is material in the context of the Group taken as a whole or in the context of the Proposal or the Scheme).

The Offeror reserves the right to waive Conditions (h) to (j) either in whole or in part, either generally or in respect of any particular matter. Conditions (a) to (g) cannot be waived in any event. The Company has no right to waive any of the Conditions.

In respect of Conditions (g) and (h) above, the Company and/or the Offeror were not aware of any such statutory or regulatory obligations, requirements or consents required as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Pursuant to Note 2 to Rule 30.1 of the Takeovers Code, the Offeror may only invoke any or all of the Conditions as a basis for not proceeding with the Scheme if the circumstances which give rise to the right to invoke any such Condition are of material significance to the Offeror in the context of the Proposal. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Offeror was not aware of any such circumstances. All of the above Conditions will have to be fulfilled or waived, as applicable, on or before the Long Stop Date, failing which the Proposal and the Scheme will lapse.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the Conditions have been fulfilled or waived.

Assuming that the above Conditions are fulfilled (or, as applicable, waived in whole or in part), it is expected that the Scheme will become effective on or about Wednesday, 14 October 2020 (Cayman Islands time). Further announcements will be made including in particular in relation to (i) the results of the Court Meeting and the General Meeting and, if all the resolutions are passed at those meetings, (ii) the result of the Grand Court hearing of the petitions to sanction the Scheme and to confirm the capital reduction, (iii) the Record

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Date, (iv) the Effective Date and (v) the date of withdrawal of the listing of the Shares on the Stock Exchange as further set out in ''Part III. - Expected Timetable'' of the Scheme Document.

If the Scheme is not approved or the Proposal otherwise lapses, an announcement will be made by the Offeror and the Company.

The Undertaking

On 17 June 2020, the Offeror and the Company received the Undertaking from Atlantis, pursuant to which Atlantis has irrevocably and unconditionally undertaken that:

1. from (and including) the date of the Undertaking to (and including) the earlier of

  1. the date on which the Proposal and the Scheme become effective; or (ii) the lapse or withdrawal of the Proposal and the Scheme (as the case may be):
  1. Atlantis will not participate in the Proposal and the Scheme in respect of any of the Atlantis Shares, and none of the Atlantis Shares shall constitute the Disinterested Scheme Shares, and therefore the Atlantis Shares will not be cancelled if the Scheme becomes effective, and Atlantis will not receive any consideration under the Scheme; and
  2. Atlantis will not (i) sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Atlantis Shares; or
    1. exercise any warrants, options or any other rights in whatever form to acquire any additional interest in any of the Shares; and

2. immediately after the Scheme becomes effective, the Atlantis Shares registered under its name and/or in the name of its nominee(s) will remain so registered.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Atlantis holds the Atlantis Shares, being 317,166,529 Shares, representing approximately 10.87% of the issued share capital of the Company. As a result of the Undertaking, Atlantis is a party acting in concert with the Offeror as Atlantis will remain as a Shareholder after the completion of the Proposal and the Scheme. The Undertaking constitutes a special deal and is therefore conditional on (i) the Disinterested Shareholders' approval at the General Meeting; and (ii) the consent from the Executive pursuant to Rule 25 of the Takeovers Code. No consideration, compensation or benefit in whatever form is or will be provided by the Offeror or the Offeror Concert Parties (other than Atlantis) to Atlantis or parties acting in concert with it in connection with the Undertaking.

Scheme of Arrangement under Section 86 of the Companies Law and the Court Meeting

Pursuant to Section 86 of the Companies Law, where a compromise or an arrangement is proposed between a company and its members or any class of them, the Grand Court may, on the application of the company or any member of the company, order a meeting of the members of the company or class of members, as the case may be, to be summoned in such manner as the Grand Court directs.

- 37 -

PART VI.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

It is expressly provided in Section 86 of the Companies Law that if a majority in number representing 75% in value of the members or class of members, as the case may be, present and voting either in person or by proxy at the meeting held as directed by the Grand Court as aforesaid, agree to any compromise or arrangement, the compromise or arrangement shall, if sanctioned by the Grand Court, be binding on all members or class of members, as the case may be, and also on the company. Upon the Scheme becoming effective it will be binding on the Company and all Scheme Shareholders, regardless of how they voted (or whether they voted) at the Court Meeting and the General Meeting.

Following the Effective Date and the withdrawal of listing of the Shares on the Stock Exchange, the Offeror and the Offeror Concert Parties will hold 100% of the issued share capital of the Company, on the assumption that there is no other change in shareholding in the Company before completion of the Proposal.

Warnings:

Shareholders and potential investors should be aware that the implementation of the Proposal and the Scheme are subject to Conditions being fulfilled or waived, as applicable, and thus the Proposal may or may not be implemented, the Scheme may or may not become effective. Shareholders and potential investors should therefore exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company. Persons who are in doubt as to the action they should take should consult their stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor or other professional advisers.

Revenue

Revenue from continuing operations of the Group increased by around 25.9% from approximately HK$250.7 million in FY2018 to approximately HK$315.7 million in FY2019 and remained relatively steady with a slight drop of around 2.7% to approximately HK$307.1 million in FY2020. We note that the increase in revenue in FY2019 was mainly driven by the increase in revenue contributed by the Hospital Business and the cells and tissues storage and genetic testing services segment. In January 2018, the Group completed the disposal of its subsidiary namely Global Cord Blood Corporation and since then, the Group had ceased to conduct cord blood storage business. Since FY2019, the largest contributors to total revenue have been the Medical Devices Business and the Hospital Business, each of which represented over 40% of the total revenue of each of FY2018, FY2019 and FY2020.

Revenue generated from the Medical Devices Business increased by around 8.1% in FY2019 mainly due to the improved sales volume resulting from the continuing reinforcement of the Group's marketing efforts. Revenue from the Hospital Business increased by around 37.2% in FY2019 mainly because of the organic growth at existing obstetrics and gynecology department of Beijing Sunbow Obstetrics & Gynecology Hospital and growth in rental income from Beijing Qinghe Hospital. Revenue generated from the medical insurance administration service increased by around 28.4% in FY2019 mainly due to expansion of customer base. During FY2019, the revenue from sale of Chinese herbal medicines remained steady with a slight increment of around 1.5%. The cells and tissues storage and genetic testing services segment has achieved a dynamic growth of around 1,350.4% in FY2019 mainly because of the first-mover advantage enjoyed by the Group from its early involvement in the pioneering cells and tissues storage and genetic testing services businesses.

Revenue generated from the Medical Devices Business increased slightly by around 3.2% in FY2020 mainly due to increased sales volume as a result of the downward adjustment to the prices of the medical devices by the Group, and the increased selling prices of the third parties medical device and consumables. However, revenue from the Hospital Business dropped slightly by around 1.3% in FY2020 mainly because of the decline in rental income from Beijing Qinghe Hospital owing to the drop of its utility income and the relocation of Shanghai East International Medical Center Limited after the completion of expansion work in the second half of 2019. Revenue generated from the medical insurance administration service declined by around 28.5% in FY2020 mainly due to the general decline in contracts from its existing customers. During FY2020, revenue from sale of Chinese herbal medicines increased by around 56.5% mainly attributable to the improved sales volume in certain regions. The revenue of cells and tissues storage and genetic testing services segment has dropped significantly of around 88.9% in FY2020 as a result of laboratory modification work which had an impact on the testing services provided during the year.

Gross profit

Gross profit from continuing operations increased by approximately 22.3% in FY2019 from approximately HK$109.9 million in FY2018 to approximately HK$134.4 million in FY2019 which was in line with the improvements in revenue despite the higher costs associated with the cost of sales of medical device consumables which had partly netted off the increased revenue. Whereas for FY2020, the Group's gross profit from continuing operations had reported a drop of approximately 11.8% and this was mainly due to the increased operational costs incurred by Beijing Qinghe Hospital and increased production cost of medical device consumables for the year.

Net loss/profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Company

The Group reported total net loss attributable to equity shareholders of the Company of approximately HK$675.4 million in FY2019 as compared to net profit from both continuing and discontinued operations attributable to equity shareholders of the Company of approximately HK$3,399.1 million in FY2018 mainly as a result of, among other things, the gain on disposal of Global Cord Blood Corporation of approximately HK$3,789.7 million (net of tax) recorded in January 2018.

Net loss from continuing operations attributable to equity shareholders of the Company narrowed from approximately HK$675.4 million in FY2019 to approximately HK$261.4 million in FY2020. Such drop was mainly attributable to (i) the decrease in impairment loss on other receivables to approximately HK$18.6 million resulting from less impairment provision made on the other receivables due from Sanpower Group Limited in FY2020; along with (ii) a further drop in finance costs of around 30.5% to approximately HK$51.7 million in FY2020 due to lower level of leverage of the Group and lower interest rates on new interest-bearing borrowings; netted off by (iii) the enlarged loss in fair value of financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss of around 165.2% to approximately HK$37.1 million in FY2020 mainly attributable to the unfavourable fair value changes of the fund investments held by the Group.

Note 1 : The Group has initially applied HKFRS 16 at 1 April 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. Under this approach, the comparative information is not restated. As confirmed by the Company and as reflected in the note 2(c) of the 2020 Annual Report, the financial effect regarding the non-restated figures are immaterial and therefore, no material impact on the comparability of figures for FY2018 and FY2019.

Non-current assets of the Group as at 31 March 2019 and 31 March 2020 mainly comprised of, among others, property plant and equipment and interests in leasehold land held for own use (which was reclassified to under property, plant and equipment in FY2020 due to the change in accounting standard). Balance of total non-current assets slightly dropped by around 4.0% from approximately HK$3,437.1 million as at 31 March 2019 to approximately HK$3,299.2 million as at 31 March 2020, which was mainly due to the decrease of around 5.1% in property, plant and equipment and interest in leasehold land held for own use in aggregate from approximately HK$2,591.4 million as at 31 March 2019 to approximately HK$2,459.2 million as at 31 March 2020 as a result of the depreciation charges during FY2020.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As at 31 March 2019 and 31 March 2020 respectively, current assets of the Group comprised of mainly trade and other receivables, pledged and time deposits and cash and cash equivalents. Balance for total current assets slightly dropped by around 3.3% mainly due to the significant drop of cash and cash equivalents of around 94.8% from approximately HK$3,068.5 million as at 31 March 2019 to approximately HK$160.8 million as at 31 March 2020, which was partially netted off by the increment of around 1,570.9% of trade and other receivables to approximately HK$2,645.8 million as at 31 March 2020 resulting from the offshore remittance procedures in accordance with relevant clauses of the disposal agreement of Global Cord Blood Corporation.

Current liabilities of the Group as at 31 March 2019 and 31 March 2020 mainly comprised of, among other things, trade and other payables and interest- bearing borrowings (current portion). The balance of current liabilities decreased by around 8.7% from approximately HK$2,774.3 million as at 31 March 2019 to approximately HK$2,533.4 million as at 31 March 2020, such decrease was mainly a result of a drop in interest-bearing borrowings (current portion) by around 63.3% from approximately HK$894.9 million as at 31 March 2019 to approximately HK$328.1 million as at 31 March 2020 due to the extension of majority of borrowings repayable from within one year to after one year, netted off by the increase in trade and other payables of around 16.7% from approximately HK$1,792.0 million as at 31 March 2019 to approximately HK$2,090.4 million as at 31 March 2020, resulting from the increase in investment deposits received from a third party for participating in potential acquisitions.

Non-current liabilities of the Group as at 31 March 2020 and 31 March 2019 mainly comprised of interest-bearing borrowings (non-current portion) and deferred tax liabilities. The balance for total non-current liabilities of the Group as at 31 March 2020 increased from approximately HK$153.5 million as at 31 March 2019 to approximately HK$683.7 million as at 31 March 2020, mainly as a result of the increase in the non-currentinterest-bearing borrowings due to the extension of majority of borrowings repayable from within one year to after one year.

As disclosed in the 2020 Annual Report and as advised by the Company, the debt ratio (as represented by total interest-bearing borrowings (including total lease liabilities) divided by total equity) was approximately 23.5% as at 31 March 2020, as compared to 20.7% as at 31 March 2019. Such increase was mainly due to the drop in total equity of around 12.6% from approximately HK$4,432.5 million as at 31 March 2019 to approximately HK$3,875.9 million as at 31 March 2020.

Total equity attributable to equity shareholders of the Company (''NAV'') decreased by approximately 12.3% from approximately HK$4,381.5 million as at 31 March 2019 to approximately HK$3,844.7 million as at 31 March 2020. NAV per Share, based on the total number of issued Shares of 2,916,932,138 as at the Latest Practicable Date, was approximately HK$1.318 as at 31 March 2020.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Except for the special dividend of HK$0.30 per Share paid to Shareholders in March 2018, no other interim or final dividend has been declared and paid by the Company to its Shareholders during the entire Period.

1.3. Valuation on property interests of the Group

The property interests of the Group (including the property interests held by the Company and its subsidiaries, collectively, the ''Properties'') have been valued by the Valuer. The full text of the valuation report and certificate of the Properties for their respective market value in existing state as at 31 May 2020 (the ''Valuation Report'') is set out in Appendix II to the Scheme Document. According to the Valuation Report, the market values in existing state of the Properties in Beijing and Shanghai are approximately RMB2,611.6 million as at 31 May 2020. Pursuant to the Valuation Report and as stated in the section headed ''4. Property interests and adjusted NAV of the Group'' in Appendix I to the Scheme Document, the total market value of the Properties in existing state attributable to the Shareholders as at 31 May 2020 was approximately RMB2,366.6 million (equivalent to approximately HK$2,588.2 million) (the ''Valuation''). We understand from the Management that all of the Properties since their acquisition have been and are currently occupied by the Group as its own production and operation bases as well as office uses.

We have reviewed the Valuation Report and discussed with the Valuer the methodology of and bases and assumptions adopted for the valuations and the adjustments made to arrive at the valuation. We noted that the Valuer has valued the Properties in Beijing, being the two properties referred to as Nos. 1 and 2 as set out under the Valuation Report, using the depreciated replacement costs approach (the ''DRC Method'') which is due to the specific purpose for which most of the buildings and structures of the properties have been constructed with no readily identifiable market comparable as disclosed in the Valuation Report. As further disclosed in the Valuation Report, such approach is based on an estimate of the market value for the existing use of the land by referencing with the available land sale transactions in the locality, plus the current cost of replacement of the existing structures less deductions for physical deterioration and all relevant forms of obsolescence and optimisation.

For the remaining Properties in Shanghai referred to as No. 3 as set out under the Valuation Report, we noted that the Valuer adopted the direct comparison approach, and such approach involves the analysis of recent market evidence of similar properties to compare with the subject under valuation with the assumption that the Shanghai property will be redeveloped and completed in accordance with the latest planning policy and relevant regulations of development proposal. Such approach has also taken into account the expended development costs and the costs including estimated land premium that will be expended to complete the development.

The above valuation methodologies are, in our opinion, commonly used and reasonable approaches in establishing the market values of the Properties. Furthermore, we have performed works as required under note (1)(d) to Rule 13.80 of the Listing Rules in relation to the Valuer and its work as regards the valuation.

1.4. Adjusted NAV

In evaluating the Proposal and the Scheme, we have taken into account the adjusted consolidated net assets attributable to the Shareholders (the ''Adjusted NAV''), which is provided by the Company and calculated based on the audited consolidated net assets attributable to the Shareholders as at 31 March 2020, adjusted with reference to the Valuation as at 31 May 2020. Details of the adjustment are set out in the table below.

Notes:

  1. This represents a revaluation surplus calculated by reference to the Valuation as at 31 May 2020 of approximately RMB2,366.6 million (equivalent to approximately HK$2,588.2 million, net of the book value of such property interests as of 31 March 2020 of approximately HK$1,920.0 million and relevant deferred tax associated in the respective jurisdictions of approximately HK$182.6 million.
  2. Based on 2,916,932,138 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

As set out in the above table, the Cancellation Price of HK$0.88 per Share represents a discount of approximately 40.7% to the Adjusted NAV per Share of approximately HK$1.485.

The appreciation in value of the Properties of approximately HK$668.2 million (before deferred tax adjustment) represented by the Valuation was mainly attributable to the fact that most of the Properties have been stated at cost in the consolidated financial statements of the Group since their construction or acquisition in accordance with the accounting policy adopted by the Group. We also note that all of the Properties since the completion of their constructions or acquisitions have been and are currently occupied by the Group as its bases for its own operations, as hospital, industrial and office buildings. According to the Directors, the Group has no intention to dispose of or transfer its interests in the Properties. In particular, as regard the

- 47 -

PART VI.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

redevelopment potential of the Property No. 3, each of the Offeror and the Company has confirmed that they have no current intention to peruse any redevelopment plan of such property in the near future. Accordingly, such appreciation amount is unlikely to be realised. As also set out in the Explanatory Memorandum in the Scheme Document, it is the intention of the Offeror for the Group to maintain its existing business, which principally comprises (i) the Medical Devices Business; (ii) the Hospital Business; (iii) the provision of medical insurance administration service; (iv) the research and development, manufacture and sale of Chinese herbal medicines; and (v) the provision of cells and tissues storage and genetic testing services, and the Offeror has no plan to introduce any material changes to the business and/or assets of the Group, to redeploy its major fixed assets or to discontinue the employment of employees of the Group as a result of the Proposal. Having considered the aforesaid, we consider that the appreciation in value of the Properties is not of material relevance in considering the underlying value of the Group and accordingly, we have assigned less weight to the Adjusted NAV in our overall analyses.

2. Prospects of the Group

As discussed in detail in section headed ''1.2 Financial information of the Group'' above, the Group is principally engaged in five main operating segments from continuing operations including (i) the Medical Devices Business; (ii) the Hospital Business; (iii) the provision of medical insurance administration service; (iv) the research and development, manufacture and sale of Chinese herbal medicines; and (v) the provision of cells and tissues storage and genetic testing services. Based on the revenue breakdown outlined under the same section, we noted that the key revenue contributors of the Group are the Medical Devices Business and the Hospital Business. The aggregated revenue from the two segments accounted for 95.3%, 91.7% and 95.1% of total revenue from continuing operations for each of the FY2018, FY2019 and FY2020 respectively.

Based on the national data published by the National Bureau of Statistics of China, growth rate of per capita expenditure nationwide spent on healthcare and medical services in the PRC remained steady at between approximately 11% and 16% between 2014 and 2019. We further noted from the 2020 Annual Report, the National Health Commission of the PRC has also published the Opinions on Promoting the Sustainable and Regulated Development of Private Medical Institutions ( 關於促進社會辦醫持續健康規範發展的意 見》) which welcomed a new round of policies including the proposal to increase support for private healthcare enterprises and encouraged the establishment and operation of high quality general practice clinics by private capital. With the introduction of such policies, additional competition in the industry is likely to be encountered. We note from the national data published by the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the number of hospitals in the PRC has grown from approximately 20,918 in 2010 to as much as 34,354 in 2019, representing a compounded annual growth rate of approximately 5.7%. In addition to competition, the General Office of the State Council published the Notices on Key Objectives of Strengthening the Reform of the Medical and Healthcare System 2017* 《深 化醫藥衛生體制(改革2017年重點工作任務的通知)》 which provided the measures in the reform of healthcare system in the PRC including, among other things, limitations on the markup selling price of pharmaceutical drugs by public hospitals in the PRC.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

2018, the Joint Procurement Office led by the State Administration for Medical Insurance published the Papers on Centralised Drug Procurement in ''4+7'' Cities (the ''Procurement Guidelines''), which launched the national pilot scheme for tendering with minimum procurement quantities. The Procurement Guidelines listed 31 drugs for this pilot scheme together with an intended quantity commitment for each drug. The manufacturers and importers of the drugs are invited to bid to supply the drugs to public medical institutions in the ''4+7'' Cities. This move is aimed at reducing drug prices and may potentially impact how generic drugs are priced and procured in China. In this respect, and in view of the above recent regulatory changes, the Group's key revenue contributors, namely the Medical Devices Business and the Hospital Business may face pressure.

We further noted from the national data published by the National Bureau of Statistics of China, gross domestic product (''GDP'') of China have recorded a drop of around 6.8% in the first quarter of 2020 as compared to the corresponding period last year. On 22 May 2020, China government further announced in 中國第十三屆全國人民代表大會第三次會議 中國總理李克強作政府工作報告 that no GDP target will be set for the year 2020, which is the first time since 1990.

We further noted from the 2020 Annual Report that the Group's annual results for FY2020 reported a decrease in revenue on a year-on-year basis because the impact from the 2019 novel coronavirus (''Covid-19'') has only started to show in early 2020. We have discussed and understand from the Management that Covid-19 is likely to cause uncertainties to the overall prospect of the Group due to lock-down and/or other cautionary actions from time to time taken by local governments in the PRC, patient visits to the Group's hospitals has been impacted and as disclosed in the 2020 Annual Report, the Group's Hospital Business, in particular, Shanghai East International Medical Center, has to offer medical consultation services via WeChat to certain patients to allow them to continue to receive medical attention without having to leave their homes. Further, the Medical Devices Business has also experienced uncertainties as a result of Covid-19 due to the decrease in demand from the customers (which are mainly hospitals and health institutions) and lesser marketing activities as a result of various lock-down measures taken by the governments. To ascertain the trend in health-related industry, in particular, during the first quarter of 2020, we have reviewed and noted from the national data published by the National Bureau of Statistics of China, per capita health care expenditure nationwide (accumulated in Yuan) for the first quarter ended 31 March 2020 declined by approximately 14.6% as compared to the fourth quarter ended 31 December 2019.

In light of the above facts, we consider that whether the Group will be able to maintain its business performance and further its product development, and/or react and adapt in a timely manner in response to the ever-changing global economy, would be uncertain. Given the above circumstances and the historical net loss from continuing operations attributable to Shareholders recorded during the Period, business prospects of the Company could be subject to challenges and there is no guarantee that financial performance of the Group would be able to turnaround in the near future.

The closing prices of the Share ranged from HK$0.48 to HK$1.36 during the period between 2 January 2018 and the Last Trading Day (both dates inclusive, the ''Pre-announcement Period''), with an average closing price of around HK$0.84.

The Company's Share closing price increased remarkably in January 2018 from approximately HK$1.09 on 2 January 2018 to its peak in the Pre-announcement Period of HK$1.36 on 31 January, 1 and 2 February 2018. Trading in the Shares then fluctuated and closed between just under HK$1.20 and approximately HK$1.35 between February 2018 until 6 March 2018 before declining to a then low of HK$0.95 per Share on 7 March 2018. Subsequent to the decline in March 2018, trading in the Shares then fluctuated within a range of approximately $0.83 and approximately HK$0.96 between 8 March 2018 and 25 June 2018. The Share closing price remained around the same at approximately HK$0.89 on 26 June 2018 after the publication of the Company's positive profit alert of the FY2018 annual results on 25 June 2018 after trading hours. Following the positive profit alert announcement, the Share closing price demonstrated a gradual decline from approximately HK$0.9 on 27 June 2018 to approximately HK$0.87 on 26 November 2018. Upon the announcement of the interim results for the six months period ended 30 September 2018 after the trading hours on 26 November 2018, the Share closing price further dropped by around 5.8% to

PART VI.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

approximately HK$0.82 on 27 November 2018. After that, the Share closing price fluctuated within a range between approximately HK$0.79 and approximately HK$0.88 and closed at approximately HK$0.8 on 31 December 2018.

The Share closing price fluctuated within a tight range between 2 January 2019 and 20 May 2019 of approximately HK$0.78 and approximately HK$0.84 before losing approximately 12.1% from approximately HK$0.83 on 20 May 2019 to approximately HK$0.73 on 27 May 2019. The Share closing price on 4 June 2019 remained steady at approximately HK$0.85 on 4 June 2019 following the Company's profit warning announcement for the FY2019 on 3 June 2019 after trading hours. Since then, the Share closing price traded in a significant uptrend, increasing from approximately HK$0.87 each on 5 June 2019 to a then high of approximately HK$1.1 each on 17 June 2019. The Share closing price then showed a gradual downward trend in the second half of 2019 up to and including March 2020, hitting a then low of approximately HK$0.49 each on 23 March 2020. We are advised by the Company that the Company is not aware of any reasons for the significant decrease in Share price and liquidity during the period. Trading in the Shares recovered to approximately HK$0.59 each on 1 April 2020 before resuming its downward trend, hitting the all-time low during the Pre-announcement Period of approximately HK$0.48 each on 22 May 2020. Since then the Share closing price increased from approximately HK$0.5 on 25 May 2020 to approximately HK$0.62 on 8 June 2020, being the Last Trading Date before the suspension of trading in the Shares on 9 June 2020 pending the publication of the Announcement.

Following the publication of the Announcement in relation to the Proposal after trading hours on 17 June 2020 and the resumption of trading on 18 June 2020, the Share closing price increased by around 11.1% to HK$0.81 each on 18 June 2020. Since then the Share closing price fluctuated in a narrow range between HK$0.78 and HK$0.83 each, and the Share closing price as at Latest Practicable Date was HK$0.80.

In summary, the Cancellation Price of HK$0.88 per Disinterested Scheme Share represents:

  1. a premium of approximately 41.94% over the closing price of HK$0.62 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;
  2. a premium of approximately 54.39% over the average closing price of approximately HK$0.57 per Share based on the daily closing prices as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 10 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
  3. a premium of approximately 60.00% over the average closing price of approximately HK$0.55 per Share based on the daily closing prices as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 30 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;

- 51 -

PART VI.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

  1. a premium of approximately 54.39% over the average closing price of approximately HK$0.57 per Share based on the daily closing prices as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 60 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
  2. a premium of approximately 39.68% over the average closing price of approximately HK$0.63 per Share based on the daily closing prices as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 90 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
  3. a premium of approximately 29.41% over the average closing price of approximately HK$0.68 per Share based on the daily closing prices as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 120 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
  4. a premium of approximately 22.22% over the average closing price of approximately HK$0.72 per Share based on the daily closing prices as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 180 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day; and
  5. a premium of approximately 10.00% over the closing price of HK$0.80 per Share as at the Latest Practicable Date.

The Share price movement following the publication of the Announcement are likely to be driven by the Proposal and the Scheme. As such, we consider that there are no assurance that the Share price will remain at the current levels if the Proposal and the Scheme do not take place.

Notes:

  1. The calculation is based on the average daily trading volumes of the Shares divided by the total issued share capital at the end of each month or as at the Latest Practicable Date, as applicable.
  2. The total number of Shares held by the public is calculated based on the total number of issued Shares excluding those held by the Offeror and the Offeror Concert Parties, at the end of each month or as at the Latest Practicable Date, as applicable.
  3. 18 June 2020 being the first trade date immediately following the publication of the Announcement.

From the table above, which outlines the average daily trading volume as a percentage of the total issued Share capital and as a percentage of the public float respectively, save for the relatively higher liquidity in first 3 months of 2018 and June 2019, we note that the average daily trading volume of the Shares has been generally thin. The average daily trading volume of the Shares during the Pre-announcement Period was 1,393,332 Shares, representing around 0.05% of the total issued share capital of the Company and around 0.29% of the public float. The publication of the Announcement heightened the trading activity, with the average daily trading volume

- 54 -

PART VI.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

of the Shares increasing to approximately 2,384,088 Shares (representing around 0.08% and 0.49% of the total issued Share capital and of the Shares held by the public respectively) in the period from 18 June 2020, being the first trade date immediately following the publication of the Announcement, to the Latest Practicable Date. The increased trading volume of the Shares was still relatively thin. Disinterested Shareholders should note that the improvement in liquidity of the Shares subsequent to the publication of the Announcement may not be sustainable if the Proposal and the Scheme do not take place or lapse.

Given the historical thin trading volume of the Shares, it is uncertain whether there would be sufficient liquidity in the Shares for the Disinterested Shareholders to dispose of a significant number of Shares in the open market without causing an adverse impact on the market price of the Shares. The Proposal and the Scheme, therefore, represent an opportunity for the Disinterested Shareholders, particularly for those who hold a large volume of Shares, to dispose of their entire holdings at the Cancellation Price if they so wish.

4. Historical discount of market price of the Shares to NAV per Share

In assessing the reasonableness of the discount to NAV as at 31 March 2020 as represented by the Cancellation Price, we have reviewed the performance of the Share price against the NAV per Share since 28 June 2018 (being the first trading day immediately after the Group released its annual results for the financial year ended 31 March 2018).

- 55 -

PART VI.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Based on the analysis set out above, we note that, recent closing price of the Shares has always been at a discount to the Group's respective NAVs since 28 June 2018, being the immediate trading date after the Company published its annual results announcement for FY2018 up to 30 June 2020. As shown above, the Average Discounts ranged from approximately 43.33% to approximately 54.26%, with an average of approximately 49.33%.

In this respect, the Cancellation Price of HK$0.88 represents a discount of approximately 33.23% to the audited NAV per Share of approximately HK$1.318 as at 31 March 2020, and such discount is below the average and even lower than the entire range of the Average Discounts as shown above. Furthermore, in view of the Group having been reporting continuous net losses from continuing operations attributable to owners of the equity shareholders of the Company over the past few years as discussed under the section headed ''1.2 Financial information of the Group'' and the uncertainties associated with the prospect of the Group as discussed under the section headed ''2. Prospects of the Group'' above, business prospects of the Company could be subject to challenges and there is no guarantee that financial performance and/or financial position of the Group would be able to improve in the near future. Meanwhile, as also discussed under the section headed ''3.1 Historical price performance of the Shares'' above, the recent upsurge of Share price following the publication of the Announcement are likely to be driven by the Proposal and the Scheme and therefore, whether the Share price will remain at the current levels is also uncertain if the Proposal and the Scheme eventually do not go ahead. Based on all the above, there is no imminent sign of improvement on the aforesaid trend of discounts represented by Share price over NAV as at 31 March 2020 and therefore, on balance, we consider the discount represented by the Cancellation Price as compared to NAV as at 31 March 2020 not unacceptable to the Scheme Shareholders given the fact that the Proposal and the Scheme, if approved, represent a guaranteed exit for the Scheme Shareholders to realise their investment value at a premium to recent Share price.

5. Peer companies

As discussed under the section ''1.1. Background information of the Group'' above, in FY2020, around 95.2% of the total revenue of the Group were contributed by its Medical Devices Business as to around 47.9% and the Hospital Business as to around 47.2%. In conducting our analysis, we have conducted a comparable analysis identifying companies listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange which are principally engaged in both the manufacturing and sale of medical devices and hospital operation/management business with total revenue in their respective latest financial year contributed by the aforesaid businesses. In this respect, we have identified two comparable entities, namely Harmonicare Medical Holdings Limited (stock code: 1509) (''Harmonicare'') and China Resources Medical Holdings Company Limited (stock code: 1515) (''CR Medical''), with criteria as stated above. As disclosed in the website of the Stock Exchange, Harmonicare is principally engaged in the provision of specialised hospital service in obstetrics and gynecology and the supply of pharmaceutical and medical devices. However, trading in shares of Harmonicare on the Stock Exchange has been suspended since 1 April 2019 and remained suspended as of the Latest Practicable Date. As such, we have excluded Harmonicare in our analysis.

PART VI.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

CR Medical principally engaged in, among others, the provision of general hospital services, hospital management services and the group purchasing organisation business which involves the sales of pharmaceuticals, medical devices and medical consumables to its hospitals and external customers, in the PRC.

Given the net loss from continuing operations attributable to Shareholders and negative earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (''EBITDA'') recorded by the Group for FY2020, comparison based on price to earnings ratio and enterprise value to EBITDA ratio are not applicable. Against such backdrop, we compared the price to sales ratio (''PSR'') and price to book ratio (''PBR'') implied by the Cancellation Price for the Group with those of CR Medical based on its publicly available latest financial results/ reports and its latest market capitalisation as at the Latest Practicable Date, which we consider meaningful comparisons given both CR Medical and the Company carries on similar revenue generating businesses. Nevertheless, having stated the above, given that only one comparable is available, we have placed less weight on this factor in our overall analysis.

Notes:

  1. The market capitalisation of CR Medical is calculated based on its closing price per share and number of issued shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.
  2. P/S Ratio of CR Medical is calculated based on the revenue of CR Medical as published in its annual report for the financial year ended 31 December 2019 and its market capitalisation as at the Latest Practicable Date.
  3. P/B Ratio of CR Medical is calculated based on the net asset value attributable to owners of CR Medical as published in its annual report for the financial year ended 31 December 2019 and its market capitalisation as at the Latest Practicable Date.

With reference to the table above, the PSR of the Company of around 8.36 times is higher than that of CR Medical of around 3.25 times, which is considered favourable. However, the PBR of the Company implied by the Cancellation Price of around 0.67 times

- 57 -

PART VI.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

is lower than the PBR of CR Medical of around 1.16 times. We note that CR Medical has been profit-making for each of the past three financial years whilst the Group has recorded continuous net loss for the recent years, which may have possibly contributed to the relatively lower PBR of the Group as compared to that of CR Medical.

6. Privatisation precedents

We have compared the Proposal and the Scheme to privatisation proposals of other companies listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange announced since 1 January 2019, approximately eighteen months before the date of the Announcement, and up to the Latest Practicable Date, excluding privatisation proposals which were not/yet to be approved (the ''Privatisation Precedents''), which represents an exhaustive list of privatisation proposals we were able to identify from the Stock Exchange's website satisfying the above selection criteria.

Despite the subject companies constituting the Privatisation Precedents may have different principal activities, market capitalisation, profitability and financial position as compared with those of the Company, and different reasons for their respective privatisation decisions and choice of privatisation proposals (i.e. by way of general offer or scheme of arrangement) and different reasons in coming up with their respective cancellation prices, we would still consider, in light of our selection criteria, capturing recent privatisation exercises of Main Board listed companies can provide us with a general reference on the recent market trend of this type of transaction in Hong Kong equity capital market. Based on the aforesaid, we regard the Privatisation Precedents meaningful and significant to our analysis for assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Cancellation Price considering the precedents reflect the latest position of the market.

PART VI.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Note 1 : The cancellation price of $1.92 represents the scheme cash consideration of $0.42 per scheme share and the scheme cash dividend of HK$1.50 per ordinary share of the company.

Note 2 : The cancellation price of $71.90 represents the scheme cash consideration of $12.00 per scheme share and the value (based on their closing prices on the last trading day) of the Wharf Real Estate Investment Company Limited (1997.HK) share and The Wharf (Holdings) Limited (4.HK) share to be distributed per scheme share.

Note 3 : The effect of the distribution (a special dividend by way of a distribution in-specie to shareholders of one Wharf Real Estate Investment Company Limited share and one The Wharf (Holdings) Limited share in respect of each share of Wheelock and Company Limited held at the record date) was not reflected in the calculation of the discount to the net asset attributable to the owners of the company per share to its cancellation price.

Note 4 : Calculation is independently made based on the unaudited consolidated total equity attributable to owners of the company as at 30 June 2019 as the disclosure on the composite document has shown the calculation based on the total equity as at 30 June 2019.

Note 5 : Calculation is based on the assumption that all the perpetual subordinated convertible securities of the company are fully converted into domestic shares of the company at the initial conversion price of RMB3.47.

Note 6 : The cancellation price of $3.86 represents the cash consideration for scheme share listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. The scheme shareholder who holds scheme shares listed on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited is entitled to the equivalent of HK$3.86 in Singapore dollar.

Note 7 : The cash alternative of HK$5.45 for each scheme share had been used for the purpose of this comparison. Whereas the share alternative represents 6 new shares in the capital of the offeror China Power New Energy Limited, being a non-listed company, for each scheme share.

Note 8 : The net asset attributable to the owners of the companies per share are calculated based on the latest available net asset attributable to the owners of the companies as disclosed based on the respective privatisation documents. For the avoidance of doubt, the respective NAV per share did not take into account the potential adjustment from the revaluation of properties, if any, held by the respective companies.

Note 9 : Premiums/(discounts) shown above for certain trading periods were independently calculated as they were not published in the respective scheme/composite documents. The premiums/ (discounts) (rounded to the nearest two decimal places) were derived by comparing the average closing share price (rounded to two decimal places) and the respective cancellation price.

Based on the table above, the average premiums of the Privatisation Precedents over the last trading day share price, 10 days, 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, 120 days and 180 days share price averages were approximately 44.05%, 49.30%, 52.54%, 54.17%, 55.52%, 56.63% and 55.24% respectively. The respective premiums represented by the Cancellation Price over the respective average closing prices of the Shares are all within the range of the premiums under the Privatisation Precedents for the respective periods. It is observed that the premiums represented by the Cancellation Price over the average closing prices of the Shares for a longer time such as periods for the last 120 days and 180 days were close to the low end of the corresponding range of premiums of the Privatisation Precedents. However, we note that the premiums represented by the Cancellation Price over the Share prices

- 61 -

PART VI.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

during the more recent periods including that on the last trading day and for the last 10 days, 30 days and 60 days, were considered above or close to the median premiums of the Privatisation Precedents and therefore, is considered in line with the market.

The Cancellation Price represents a discount of approximately 33.23% to the NAV as at 31 March 2020. With reference to the table above, we observed a wide range of premiums/discounts as represented by the cancellation price as compared to the respective net asset value attributable to owners under the respective Privatisation Precedents. The premiums/discounts as derived by the Privatisation Precedents ranged from a discount of around 66.30% to a premium of around 98.86% with an average premium of around 1.90%. The discount represented by the Cancellation Price to the NAV is within the aforesaid range of premiums/discounts under the Privatisation Precedents. Out of the Privatisation Precedents, we noted 9 precedents represented premiums ranging from around 3.07% to 98.86% over the respective net asset value attributable to owners per share and 8 precedents represented discounts ranging from around 1.86% to around 66.30% over the respective net asset value attributable to owners per share. The significant variation of premiums over and discounts to the net asset value attributable to owners per share as represented by the cancellation consideration in the Privatisation Precedents, in our view, tends to suggest that no concrete conclusion can be drawn from such comparison. Furthermore, none of the Privatisation Precedents engaged in the same business as those of the Group. Thus, the comparison of cancellation consideration to the NAV in the Privatisation Precedents may not be of immediate relevance to our analysis.

SPECIAL DEAL RELATING TO THE UNDERTAKING

As at the date of the Announcement and the Latest Practicable Date, Atlantis holds the Atlantis Shares, being 317,166,529 Shares, representing approximately 10.87% of the issued share capital of the Company. Atlantis has become a Shareholder since November 2008. As disclosed in the Explanatory Memorandum in the Scheme Document, prior to entering into the Undertaking, Atlantis did not have any relationship with the Offeror and was not a party acting in concert with the Offeror. It is further disclosed that as a result of the Undertaking, Atlantis is a party acting in concert with the Offeror as Atlantis will remain as a Shareholder after the completion of the Proposal and the Scheme. The favourable term available to Atlantis that is otherwise not offered to the Disinterested Shareholders is the opportunity to stay on as a Shareholder after the completion of the Proposal and the Scheme and such Undertaking would therefore constitute a special deal pursuant to Rule 25 of the Takeovers Code.

In order to ascertain our understanding of the Undertaking for the purpose of satisfying the requirements set out under Rule 25 of the Takeovers Code, we have discussed with the Directors and obtained confirmation from the Company and Offeror that no consideration, compensation or benefit in whatever form is or will be provided by the Offeror or the Offeror Concert Parties (other than Atlantis) to Atlantis or parties acting in concert with it in connection with the Undertaking.

- 62 -

PART VI.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Disinterested Shareholders should note that, upon the Proposal becoming effective, the Company would become an unlisted company with less than 50 members (based on the information on the shareholding structure of the Company as disclosed in the Scheme Document) and accordingly, would not be governed by the Listing Rules and the Takeovers Code and there would be no liquid market for its Shares. The Company would not be subject to the same degree of, including but not limited to, corporate governance and minority protection requirements as set out in the Listing Rules or market misconduct provisions under the SFO. As such, interests of minority Shareholder(s) could be safeguarded to a lesser extent following the Company becoming an unlisted private company after Scheme becoming effective, though they will remain protected by the constitutional documents of the Company and various provisions regarding minority shareholders' interest protection under the Companies Law.

In addition, the Proposal is conditional on, among other things, the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Disinterested Shareholders at the General Meeting to approve the Undertaking, and such condition is non-waivable. Hence, if the Undertaking is not approved, the Proposal and the Scheme will not proceed.

Having considered all the above, in particular, (i) the Undertaking imposes restrictions on dealings in the Shares by Atlantis before the Scheme becoming effective or lapse, and more importantly, it is confirmed by the Offeror that no consideration, compensation or benefit in whatever form is or will be provided by the Offeror or the Offeror Concert Parties (other than Atlantis) to Atlantis or parties acting in concert with it in connection with the Undertaking; (ii) to stay on as minority Shareholders following the Scheme becoming effective could be subject to risks in view of, among others, the illiquidity of the Shares and less safeguard and protection available following the Company becoming an unlisted private company after Scheme becoming effective, as discussed in details above; and (iii) the terms of the Proposal, including the Cancellation Price, is considered fair and reasonable based on factors discussed in various sections above and the passing of the resolution by the Disinterested Shareholders at the General Meeting to approve the Undertaking is one of the non-waivable conditions to the Proposal, we consider the terms of the Undertaking is fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Disinterested Shareholders are concerned.

DISCUSSION OF PRINCIPAL REASONS AND FACTORS

We consider the terms of the Proposal and the Scheme, including the Cancellation Price and the Undertaking, to be fair and reasonable so far as the Disinterested Shareholders are concerned after taking into account all of the above principal factors and reasons, in particular:

  1. the Group has been reporting continuous net losses from continuing operations attributable to owners of the Company over the past few years. With the impacts of the introduction of new regulatory measures by the PRC government on the medical and healthcare industry and the uncertainties as a result of the Covid-19, which may in turn impact the Group's two key business segments, namely the Medical Devices Business and the Hospital Business, the business prospects of the

- 63 -

PART VI.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Company is subject to challenges as discussed in detail in the section headed ''2. Prospects of the Group'' above and there is no guarantee that the financial performance of the Group could turnaround;

  1. the Cancellation Price represents premiums over the prevailing market prices of the Shares and in particular, is also higher than the average Share closing price of around HK$0.84 during the Pre-announcement Period;
  2. given the generally thin trading volume of the Shares as discussed in the section headed ''3.2 Trading liquidity of the Shares'' above, it is uncertain as to whether there would be sufficient liquidity in the Shares for the Disinterested Shareholders to dispose of a significant number of Shares in the open market without causing an adverse impact on the market price of the Shares and accordingly, the market trading price of the Shares may not necessarily reflect the proceeds that the Disinterested Shareholders can receive by the disposal of their Shares in the open market. The Proposal and the Scheme, therefore, represent an opportunity and a viable alternative exit for the Disinterested Shareholders, particularly, for those who held a large quantity of Shares, to dispose of their entire holdings at a price that represents a premium over the prevailing market prices of the Shares, if they so wish;
  3. Disinterested Shareholders should note that, as illustrated in the section headed ''4. Historical discount of market price of the Shares to NAV per Share'' above, closing prices of the Shares have always been at a discount to the Group's then NAVs since 28 June 2018, and the discount of approximately 33.23% represented by the Cancellation Price to the audited NAV per Share of approximately HK$1.318 as at 31 March 2020 is below the average and even lower than the entire range of the Average Discounts. Meanwhile, attention is also drawn to the facts that (i) the Group having been reporting continuous net losses from continuing operations attributable to owners of the equity shareholders of the Company over the past few years as discussed under the section headed ''1.2 Financial information of the Group'' and the uncertainties associated with the prospect of the Group as discussed under the section headed ''2. Prospects of the Group'' above, business prospects of the Company could be subject to challenges and there is no guarantee that financial performance and/or financial position of the Group would be able to improve in the near future; and (ii) as also discussed under the section headed ''3.1 Historical price performance of the Shares'' above, the recent upsurge of Share price following the publication of the Announcement are likely to be driven by the Proposal and the Scheme and therefore, whether the Share price will remain at the current levels is also uncertain if the Proposal and the Scheme eventually do not go ahead. As such, there is no imminent sign of improvement on the aforesaid trend of discounts represented by Share price over the NAV and therefore, on balance, we consider the discount represented by the Cancellation Price to NAV as at 31 March 2020 not unacceptable to the Disinterested Shareholders given the fact that the Proposal and the Scheme, if approved, represent a guaranteed exit for the Disinterested Shareholders to realise their investment value at a premium to recent Share price;

- 64 -

PART VI.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

  1. as discussed in the section headed ''6. Privatisation precedents'' above, the premiums represented by the Cancellation Price under the Proposal and the Scheme is within the range of the premiums offered under the Privatisation Precedents for all the respective reference periods and above or close to the median premiums for the recent periods under the Privatisation Precedents, which are considered in line with the market; and
  2. as discussed in details in section headed ''Special deal relating to the Undertaking'' above, amongst other factors, the risks for staying on as minority Shareholders following the Scheme becoming effective in view of, among others, the illiquidity of the Shares and less safeguard and protection available following the Company becoming an unlisted private company after Scheme becoming effective and that the passing of the resolution by the Disinterested Shareholders at the General Meeting to approve the Undertaking is one of the non-waivable conditions to the Proposal.

OPINION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on the above principal factors and reasons, we consider the terms of the Proposal and the Scheme, including the Cancellation Price and the Undertaking, are fair and reasonable so far as the Disinterested Shareholders are concerned. Accordingly, we advise the Independent Board Committee to recommend the Disinterested Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant resolutions to be proposed at the Court Meeting and the General Meeting to approve and implement the Proposal and the Scheme and the Undertaking.

The Shares have traded in the market below the Cancellation Price since 18 June 2020 (being the first trade date immediately following the publication of the Announcement) up to the Latest Practicable Date on which they closed at HK$0.80 per Share. However, there is still a possibility that the Share price may exceed the Cancellation Price in the period up to 23 September 2020, being the expected last day for trading in the Shares on the Stock Exchange. Accordingly, Disinterested Shareholders are reminded to monitor the trading price and liquidity of the Shares during this period and, having regard to their own circumstances, consider selling their Shares in the open market, if the net proceeds obtained from such disposal of the Shares (after deducting all transaction costs) would be higher than HK$0.88 per Share. Scheme Shareholders should also keep in mind that, if applicable, dealings in the Shares will be suspended from 24 September 2020, being the day immediately following the expected last day for dealing in the Shares on the Stock Exchange, and up to the withdrawal of listing of the Shares from the Stock Exchange.

Yours faithfully,

This Explanatory Memorandum constitutes the statement required under Order 102, rule 20(4)(e) of the Rules of the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands 1995 (revised).

SCHEME OF ARRANGEMENT

TO CANCEL ALL THE DISINTERESTED SCHEME SHARES IN EXCHANGE FOR THE CANCELLATION PRICE FOR EACH DISINTERESTED SCHEME SHARE

1. INTRODUCTION

On 17 June 2020, the Offeror and the Company jointly announced that on 9 June 2020, the Offeror had requested the Board to put forward the Proposal to the Scheme Shareholders for the privatisation of the Company by way of a scheme of arrangement under Section 86 of the Companies Law involving the cancellation of the Disinterested Scheme Shares and, in consideration thereof, the payment to the Scheme Shareholders of the Cancellation Price in cash for each Disinterested Scheme Share, and the withdrawal of the listing of the Shares on the Stock Exchange.

If the Proposal is approved and implemented, under the Scheme, the issued share capital of the Company will, on the Effective Date of the Scheme, be reduced by the cancellation of the Disinterested Scheme Shares. Upon such reduction, the issued share capital of the Company will be increased to its former amount by the issuance at par to the Offeror, credited as fully paid, of the aggregate number of Shares as is equal to the number of Disinterested Scheme Shares cancelled. The credit arising in the Company's books of account as a result of the issued capital reduction will be applied in paying up in full at par the new Shares so issued, credited as fully paid, to the Offeror.

The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to explain the terms and effects of the Proposal, which is to be implemented by the Scheme, and to provide the Scheme Shareholders with other relevant information in relation to the Scheme, in particular, to provide the intention of the Offeror with regard to the Group and the shareholding structure of the Company before and after the Scheme and the Proposal.

- 69 -

PART VII.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

In respect of Conditions (g) and (h) above, the Company and/or the Offeror were not aware of any such statutory or regulatory obligations, requirements or consents required as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Pursuant to Note 2 to Rule 30.1 of the Takeovers Code, the Offeror may only invoke any or all of the Conditions as a basis for not proceeding with the Scheme if the circumstances which give rise to the right to invoke any such Condition are of material significance to the Offeror in the context of the Proposal. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Offeror was not aware of any such circumstances. All of the above Conditions will have to be fulfilled or waived, as applicable, on or before the Long Stop Date, failing which the Proposal and the Scheme will lapse.

Assuming that the above Conditions are fulfilled (or, as applicable, waived in whole or in part), it is expected that the Scheme will become effective on or about Wednesday, 14 October 2020 (Cayman Islands time).

Shareholders and potential investors should therefore exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company. Persons who are in doubt as to the action they should take should consult their stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor or other professional advisers.

- 79 -

PART VII.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

12. REASONS FOR, AND BENEFITS OF, THE PROPOSAL

  1. The Proposal will allow the Company more freedom for implementing its long-term growth strategies

The Offeror may implement a series of long-term transformation and growth strategies. However, such transformation strategies may affect the Company's short- term growth profile and result in the divergence between the Offeror's and the Company's view on the Company's long-term value on one hand, and investors' views on the Company's share price on the other hand. Following the implementation of the Proposal, the Offeror and the Company can make strategic decisions focused on long- term benefits, free from the regulatory constraints and pressure of market expectations on share price associated with being a publicly listed company.

  1. Low liquidity of Shares may continue to cause abnormal share price fluctuation and difficulty for the Company to raise funds

The average daily trading volume of the Shares for the 24 months up to and including the Last Trading Day was approximately 794,000 Shares per day, representing only approximately 0.03% of the issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

The low trading liquidity of the Shares could make it difficult for Shareholders to execute substantial on-market disposals without adversely affecting the price of the Shares and also make it difficult for Shareholders to dispose of a large number of Shares when any event that has an adverse impact on the Company's share price occurs.

Due to the relatively low liquidity in the trading of the Shares, the Offeror considers that the Company's current listing platform may no longer be able to serve as an effective fund-raising platform for the Company's business and future growth.

  1. Non-complianceof public float requirement as prescribed by Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules

Reference is made to the announcements of the Company dated 29 June 2018 and 15 November 2018 in relation to the public float of the Company. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Offeror Concert Parties held in aggregate 2,434,178,089 Shares, representing approximately 83.45% of the issued share capital of the Company. As such, the public float of the Company was approximately 16.55% as at the Latest Practicable Date, which remained below 25% of the issued share capital of the Company held by the public as prescribed by Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules.

If the Company continues to fail to comply with the public float requirement under Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules, the Stock Exchange may suspend trading in the Shares until appropriate steps have been taken to restore the minimum percentage of securities in public hands. In view of the foregoing, the Offeror considers that the continuous listing of the Company is subject to uncertainties.

- 80 -

PART VII.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

  1. A good opportunity for the Scheme Shareholders to realise their investment for a premium

During the one-year period ended on and including the Last Trading Day, the lowest and highest closing prices per Share on the Stock Exchange were HK$0.48 and HK$1.10, respectively, with a simple average closing price of approximately HK$0.78. The Offeror believes that the Cancellation Price of HK$0.88 per Share represents a premium to the prices at which the market had valued the Company, and therefore, the Proposal provides the Scheme Shareholders an attractive exit premium and opportunity to realise their investment in return for cash, and redeploy into other investment opportunities that they may consider more attractive.

  1. Cost reduction from the saving of cost of listing and cost of investor relations

The delisting of the Company would reduce the costs and management resources associated with the maintenance of the Company's listing status on the Stock Exchange, therefore the delisting of the Company is expected to result in a more efficient and cost-effective group structure and create more flexibility for the Group to manage its business in an efficient and sustainable manner.

13. INTENTION OF THE OFFEROR REGARDING THE GROUP

The Offeror has no plan to introduce any material changes to the business and/or assets of the Group, or to redeploy its major fixed assets or discontinue the employment of employees of the Group as a result of the Proposal. After successful privatisation of the Company, the Offeror will review the businesses of the Group, including among others, the Group's relationships with its distributors and suppliers, portfolio of products, assets, corporate and organisational structure, capitalisation, operations, policies, management and personnel to consider and determine what changes, if any, would be necessary, appropriate or desirable, long term and short term, in order to best organise and optimise the businesses and operations of the Group.

14. INFORMATION OF THE GROUP, THE OFFEROR AND THE SUBSCRIBERS Information on the Group

The Company is an investment holding company and the Group is principally engaged in (i) the manufacture and sale of medical devices and related medical device accessories; (ii) the provision of hospital management service and hospital operation;

  1. the provision of medical insurance administration service; (iv) the research and development, manufacture and sale of Chinese herbal medicines; and (v) the provision of cells and tissues storage and genetic testing services.

The procedure for voting in respect of the Scheme by HKSCC Nominees Limited with respect to the Shares registered under the name of HKSCC Nominees Limited shall be in accordance with the ''General Rules of CCASS'' and the ''CCASS Operational Procedures'' in effect from time to time. In accordance with the directions from the Grand Court, HKSCC Nominees Limited is permitted to vote once for and once against the Scheme in accordance with the instructions from the CCASS Participants for the purposes of ascertaining whether or not the requirement that a majority in number of the Scheme Shareholders approve the Scheme under section 86(2) of the Companies Law has been satisfied. The number of votes cast in favour of the Scheme and the number of CCASS Participants on whose instructions they are cast and the number of votes cast against the Scheme and the number of CCASS Participants on whose instructions they are cast will be disclosed to the Grand Court and may be taken into account by the Grand Court in deciding whether or not it should exercise its discretion to sanction the Scheme.

If you are a Beneficial Owner whose Shares are deposited in CCASS, you may also elect to become a Shareholder of record, and thereby have the right to attend and vote at the Court Meeting (if you are a holder of the Disinterested Scheme Shares) and the General Meeting (as a Shareholder).

Golden Meditech Holdings Limited

48/F, Bank of China Tower,

1 Garden Road,

Central,

Hong Kong

Dear Sir/Madam,

Re: Property Valuations of all Properties held by the Group located in the People's Republic of China

In accordance with your instructions for us to value the properties held and occupied by Golden Meditech Holdings Limited (the ''Company'') and/or its subsidiaries (together with the Company referred to as the ''Group'') in the People's Republic of China (the ''PRC''), we confirm that we made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market value of all properties as at 31 May 2020 (the ''Date of Valuation'') for the purpose of incorporation in the composite scheme document of the Company and Meditech Global Group Limited dated 21 August 2020.

1. BASIS OF VALUATION

Our valuations of the properties are our opinion of the market values of the concerned properties which we would define as intended to mean ''the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's-length transaction, after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion''.

Market value is understood as the value of an asset or liability estimated without regard to costs of sale or purchase (or transaction) and without offset for any associated taxes or potential taxes.

- II-1 -

APPENDIX II.

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

2. VALUATION METHODOLOGY

For the property Nos. 1 and 2, which are held by the Group for owner occupation in the PRC, due to the specific purpose for which most of the buildings and structures of the properties have been constructed, there are no readily identifiable market comparables. Thus the buildings and structures have been valued on the basis of their depreciated replacement costs instead of direct comparison method. The depreciated replacement cost approach (the ''DRC'') is based on an estimate of the market value for the existing use of the land, plus the current cost of replacement of the existing structures less deductions for physical deterioration and all relevant forms of obsolescence and optimization. In practice, the DRC approach may be used as a substitute for the market value of specialized property, due to the lack of market comparables available. Our valuation does not necessarily represent the amount that might be realized from the disposition of the property and the DRC is subject to adequate profitability of the concerned business.

For the property No. 3 which has redevelopment potential, we have assumed that it will be redeveloped and completed in accordance with the latest planning policy and relevant regulations of development proposal provided to us. In arriving at our opinion of value, we have adopted the direct comparison approach by making reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the relevant market and have taken into account the expended development costs and the costs including estimated land premium that will be expended to complete the development.

3. TITLE INVESTIGATION

For the properties in the PRC, we have been provided with copies of extracts of title documents relating to the properties in the PRC. However, we have not searched the original documents to ascertain the existence of any amendments which do not appear on the copies handed to us. We have relied to a very considerable extent on information given by the Group and the Group's PRC legal advisor, GuangDong Shiwen Law Firm, regarding the titles of the properties in the PRC. All documents have been used for reference only.

We have relied on the advice given by the Group and its PRC legal advisor that the Group has valid and enforceable titles to the properties which are freely transferable, and has free and uninterrupted right to use the same, for the whole of the unexpired term granted subject to the payment of annual government rent/land use fees and all requisite land premium/purchase consideration payable have been fully settled.

- II-2 -

APPENDIX II.

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

4. VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS

Our valuations have been made on the assumption that the owners sell the properties in the market in their existing states without the benefit of deferred term contracts, leasebacks, joint ventures, management agreements or any similar arrangements which would serve to affect the values of such properties. In addition, no account has been taken of any option or right of pre-emption concerning or affecting the sale of the properties and no allowance has been made for the properties to be sold in one lot or to a single purchaser.

5. SOURCE OF INFORMATION

In the course of our valuations, we have relied to a very considerable extent on the information provided by the Group and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, tenure, identification of properties, particulars of occupation, site/floor areas, ages of buildings and all other relevant matters which can affect the values of the properties. All documents have been used for reference only.

We have no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us. We have also been advised that no material facts have been omitted from the information supplied. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view, and have no reason to suspect that any material information has been withheld.

6. VALUATION CONSIDERATION

As agreed prior to the commencement of our valuation, we are not able to conduct inspection of the property due to the prevailing Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in China and the relevant provisions of the Frontier Health and Quarantine Law of the People's Republic of China ( 中華人民共和國國境衛生檢疫法》), Emergency Response Law of the People's Republic of China ( 中華人民共和國突發事件應對法》). No structural survey has been made in respect of the property. We are not, however, able to report that the property is free from rot, infestation or any other structural defects. No tests were carried out on any of the building services.

We have not carried out on-site measurement to verify the site/floor areas of the property under consideration but we have assumed that the site/floor areas shown on the documents handed to us are correct. Except as otherwise stated, all dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificates are based on information contained in the documents provided to us by the Group and are therefore approximations. No allowance has been made in our valuations for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the properties nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the properties are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect their values.

- II-3 -

APPENDIX II.

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

The outbreak of the COVID-19, declared by the World Health Organisation as a ''Global Pandemic'' on 11 March 2020, has impacted global financial markets. Travel restrictions have been implemented by many countries. Market activity is being impacted in many sectors. As at the valuation date, we consider that we can attach less weight to previous market evidence for comparison purposes, to inform opinions of value. Indeed, the current response to COVID-19 means that we are faced with an unprecedented set of circumstances on which to base a judgement. Our valuation is therefore reported on the basis of 'material valuation uncertainty' as per VPS 3 and VPGA 10 of the RICS Red Book Global. Consequently, less certainty - and a higher degree of caution - should be attached to our valuation than would normally be the case.

Our valuations are prepared in compliance with the requirements set out in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, Rule 11 on Asset Valuations of the Code on Takeovers and Mergers issued by the Securities and Futures Commission Hong Kong and in accordance with the RICS Valuation - Global Standards published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, the HKIS Valuation Standards (2017 Edition) published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors and the International Valuation Standards published by the International Valuation Standards Council.

For the purpose of compliance with Rule 11.3 of the Code on Takeovers and Mergers and advised by the Group, the potential tax liabilities which would arise on the disposal of the property interests held by the Group in the PRC, for the amount of market value minus the cost of purchase, comprise PRC business tax (equivalent to 5% of sales revenue), Chinese land appreciation tax (ranging from 30% to 60% of the appreciated amount), Chinese corporate income tax and Chinese stamp duty (0.05% of the consideration stated in sales contract). The exact amount of the tax payable upon realization of the relevant properties will be subject to the formal tax advice issued by the relevant tax authorities at the time of disposal by presenting the relevant transaction documents. Further, as advised by the Company, the likelihood of the potential tax liability being crystallized is remote as the Company has no intention to dispose of them.

Our valuation opinion as stated in this report only based on the information as available as at the Date of Valuation and the Latest Practicable Date such as economic and market environment or any other matters which might affect our valuation opinion.

Yes

  1. In the valuation of this property, we have attributed no commercial value to the building with a gross floor area of approximately 14 sq.m. which has not obtained any proper title certificate.

No. 5. In case the development plan is changed, the potential impact of the estimated land premium has to be re-estimated accordingly.

Although the pump room building with approximately 14 sq.m. does not have the title certificate, in our opinion, there is no legal impediment to process the post-registration of the title certificate because it was designed and constructed as ancillary facilities to the main buildings. The building will not ordered to demolish or a risk of being fined is remote due to absence of the title certificate;

NOTICE OF COURT MEETING

In the case of joint holders of a share, any one of such persons may vote at the Court Meeting, either personally or by proxy, in respect of such share as if he were solely entitled thereto.
