LETTER FROM THE BOARD

10. RECOMMENDATION

The Directors consider that the proposed grant of the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate, the extension of the Issue Mandate, the proposed re-election of retiring Directors and the proposed appointments of Directors to be considered at the Annual General Meeting are in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders. The Directors believe that an exercise of the Issue Mandate will enable the Company to take advantage of market conditions to raise additional capital for the Company. The Repurchase Mandate may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be exercised when the Directors believe that such repurchase of Shares will benefit the Company and the Shareholders. An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full may have a material adverse impact on the working capital and/or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the Company's published audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020. The Directors do not, however, intend to make any repurchase in circumstances that would have a material adverse impact on the working capital requirements or the gearing levels of the Company. Accordingly, the Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of all the resolutions set out in the Notice to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.

11. GENERAL INFORMATION

Your attention is drawn to the additional information set out in the appendices to this circular.

12. LANGUAGE

The English text of this circular shall prevail over the Chinese text for the purpose of interpretation.

Yours faithfully,

By order of the Board of

China Grand Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Holdings Limited

Chairman

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The following is the explanatory statement which is required to be sent to the Shareholders under the Share Buy Back Rules in connection with the Repurchase Mandate.

1. LISTING RULES

The Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to purchase their securities subject to certain restrictions.

The Listing Rules provide that all proposed repurchases of shares by a company with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved by shareholders in advance by an ordinary resolution in a general meeting, either by way of a general mandate or by a specific approval of a particular transaction and that the shares to be repurchased must be fully paid up.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders for the Directors to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase Shares in the market. Such repurchase may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangement at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

3. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 3,549,571,148 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the Repurchase Mandate, the Company would be allowed to repurchase Shares up to a maximum of 354,957,114 Shares on the basis that no further Shares will be issued or otherwise repurchased and cancelled prior to the date of the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Bye-laws, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Bermuda.

It is presently proposed that any purchase of the Shares would be made out of internal resources of the Company provided that on the day immediately following the date of repurchase the Company is able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.

Taking into account the current financial position of the Company, the Directors consider the repurchase of Shares in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period may have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company as

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

compared with the position disclosed in the published audited financial statements as at 31 December 2020, but the Directors will only exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that would be benefit to the Company and Shareholders.

6. TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC FLOAT

If as a result of a repurchase of Shares, a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of the Shareholders' interest, may obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Outwit, the controlling Shareholder, held 1,671,671,149 Shares representing approximately 47.09% of the issued share capital of the Company. If the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full and the Shares being repurchased are cancelled, the percentage shareholding of Outwit will increase to approximately 52.33%. Such increase in shareholding would give rise to an obligation for Outwit to make a mandatory offer under Rule

- 10 -

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

26 of the Takeovers Code. However, the Directors currently have no intention of exercising the proposed Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would result in takeover obligations for the Outwit.

Save as aforesaid and as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors were not aware of any consequence which the exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate under the Takeovers Code.

7. SHARE REPURCHASES BY THE COMPANY

The Company had not purchased any Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
