UPDATE ON RECENT DEVELOPMENT OF SUSPENSION

This periodic announcement is made by New Ray Medicine International Holding Limited ("Company", together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") pursuant to Rule 13.24A of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited ("Stock Exchange") ("Listing Rules").

Reference is made to the announcements of the Company dated 6 October 2017 and 12 January 2018 in relation to the suspension of trading ("Suspension") in the shares of the Company ("Shares") and the announcements of the Company dated 25 May 2018, 4 June 2018, 1 August 2018, 1 November 2018, 1 February 2019, 2 May 2019 and 2 August 2019 in relation to the periodic update on the Suspension (collectively, "Announcements"). Capitalised terms used herein shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Announcements unless defined otherwise.

RECENT DEVELOPMENT OF RESUMPTION

As mentioned in the Announcements, the IBC has been established for the purpose of, among other things, conducting an independent investigation into the issues relating to the Acquisitions. Grant Thornton Advisory Services Limited ("Independent Investigator") has been appointed as the independent investigator to the IBC to assist in the investigation. The Independent Investigator is in the progress of preparing its independent investigation report.

The Company has also engaged PKF Hong Kong Limited ("PKF") as its internal control adviser to review the effectiveness of the Group's internal control systems in relation to investment procedure (including mergers and acquisitions and new projects). PKF is in the progress of preparing its report on the Group's internal control systems.

Up to the date of this announcement, the IBC's investigation into the affairs of the Acquisitions is still under progress. The Company is also seeking legal advice to address and resolve the SFC's concerns with the aim of resuming trading in the Shares. However, the Company is not in a position to disclose the details due to its statutory secrecy obligations under the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571, the Laws of Hong Kong). In view of the circumstances, the Company is not in a position to formulate any practicable resumption plan with a clear timeframe at this stage. The Company will continue to seek legal advice with a view to resuming trading of the Shares as soon as practicable.

BUSINESS UPDATE

The Directors wish to point out that notwithstanding the Suspension, the Group has been carrying on its businesses as usual and continues to focus on the distribution and trading of pharmaceutical products and the provision of marketing and promotion services in the PRC.

The Board is pleased to inform the Shareholders and potential investors that the manufacturer of the Product has recently notified the Group that a thorough examination and review of the manufacturing process of the Product (1.0g) has been completed and the production and sales of the Product (1.0g) has resumed since September 2019. As at the date of this announcement, the production and sales of the Product (0.5g) remain suspended. The Group expects that the incident of the temporary suspension of the production and sales of the Product (both 1.0g and 0.5g) in the past three quarters will cause a negative impact on the Group's revenue this year. For details of the suspension of production and sales of the Product, please refer to the section headed "Management Discussion and Analysis" in the 2019 interim report of the Company.

CONTINUED SUSPENSION OF TRADING

Trading in the Shares has been suspended with effect from 9:00 a.m. on 6 October 2017 by the Stock Exchange as directed by the SFC in accordance with Rule 8(1) Direction. Trading in the Shares will remain suspended until further notice.

The Company reminds the Shareholders and potential investors that they should refer to the announcements published on the respective websites of the Stock Exchange and the Company for any information relating to the Group.

The Company will keep the Shareholders and potential investors informed of any material development in connection with the above matters by way of periodic announcements and/or further announcement(s) as and when appropriate. Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company.
