REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE 2020 PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

The Group is principally engaged in the provision of software products and Cloud services for corporations, government organizations and other users worldwide.

The Group has always adopted the distribution model to sell the Group's products in its usual course of business so as to expand its sales channels, and hence authorising Kingdee Medical as one of its sales partners is consistent with its ordinary course of business. The Company believes that entering into the 2020 Partnership Agreement with Kingdee Medical will enable the Group to obtain more business opportunities through Kingdee Medical's channels and resources, especially in the sectors of the hospital and medical industry, to offer the products of the Group to more customers, and to promote the business development and brand building of the Group's EAS and Cloud products in the medical technology

enterprise market. Therefore, the Board believes that the cooperation with Kingdee Medical helps the Company to expand the scope of supply for corporate customer products, and at the same time enjoys complementary advantages with Kingdee Medical, thereby further increasing the scale of the revenue generated from the Company's business.

Based on the above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the 2020 Partnership Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, on normal commercial terms and are entered into on an arm's length basis, and the terms thereof and the annual cap are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

INTERNAL CONTROL MEASURES

Regarding the 2020 Partnership Agreement, the Directors are of the view that the Company has implemented adequate internal control procedures and steps when carrying out the continuing connected transactions contemplated under the agreement.

To protect the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, the Company has adopted and will continue to carry out the following internal control measures:

  1. the Company ensures that the terms of the 2020 Partnership Agreement are determined after arm's length negotiation. The transactions contemplated under the 2020 Partnership Agreement must be priced strictly with reference to the market prices provided by the Company to independent third parties to ensure that the prices are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole;
  2. the Company will continuously monitor the continuing connected transactions on a monthly basis to ensure that the total transaction amount will not exceed the annual cap. If the accumulated transaction amount is close to the annual cap, the management of the Company will renew the annual cap or terminate the transaction;
  3. the Company's external auditors will conduct an annual review of the transactions contemplated under the 2020 Partnership Agreement to ensure that the transaction amounts fall within the annual cap and that such transactions are conducted in accordance with the terms set out in the agreement; and
  4. the independent non-executive Directors will conduct a semi-annual and annual review of the status of the transactions contemplated under the 2020 Partnership Agreement to ensure that the Company has complied with the internal approval procedures, the terms of the 2020 Partnership Agreement and the relevant requirements under the Listing Rules.
