Reasons for the transaction

The Directors consider that the provision of products and services to Ping An and/or its associates would benefit the Company for the following reasons:

  • since the core business of the Company and Ping An Group's insurance business are inextricably linked together in multiple aspects, the Company's businesses and those of Ping An Group are highly complementary and beneficial to each other. In particular, the Company's provision of healthcare services and products and the nature of the Company's principal business is closely associated with the life insurance industry, in which Ping An Group has a leading industry position;
  • in light of the leading position that Ping An enjoys in the PRC insurance industry, it is commercially reasonable and in the best interests of the Company to cooperate with Ping An. In addition, given Ping An has accumulated a relatively large user base during its years of operation in the insurance industry, the Company could further increase its user base through provision of products and services to Ping An and/or its associates, which may further refer the Group's products and services to their clients;
  • as both parties enjoy respective advantages in different business fields, the collaboration may bring synergy between online and offline medical services portals, together with different insurance services and products into full play and share development achievements. For instance, the Company's online medical services and Private Doctor Membership will be able to complement the premium life and health insurance products offered by Ping An such that Ping An would be able to customize such products to meet the differentiating needs of its insurance customers, generating additional revenue for the Company and increasing customer reach of the Group. The Group will then be able to leverage on such online reach to customers and advertise its offline medical service and create synergy between its online and offline medical services portals; and
  • the transactions, which will be conducted based on the commercial terms and pricing basis determined based on market rates, could enable the Company to access stable and reliable sales channels and promote the Company's financial performance.

Pricing policies

  • With respect to the online medical services provided to Ping An and/or its associates, the service fee shall be determined on a cost-plus basis taking into consideration various commercial factors such as the historical profit margin of such services, the nature, market competitiveness and profitability of the services, substitutability of the services in the market, the frequency for the Group to provide such services, the estimated transaction amount and the commercial potential for such services, and shall not be lower than the prices at which the Group provides similar services to Independent Third Parties. For the two years ended 31 December 2019 and the six months ended 30 June 2020, the gross margin of the Group's online medical services provided to Ping An and/ or its associates was 40.1%, 44.2% and 54.6%, respectively;
  • With respect to the prepaid cards provided to Ping An and/or its associates, the price shall be the par value of the relevant cards with the purchase volume taken into consideration;

3

  • With respect to the products in the health mall provided to Ping An and/or its associates, the price shall be based on the Group's purchasing expense taking into consideration the Group's expected rate of return; and
  • With respect to the advertising services provided to Ping An and/or its associates, the service fee shall be based on, among others, the position of the advertisement with the purchase volume taken into consideration.

The products and services fees the Group charged to Ping An and/or its associates were determined on the basis of arm's length negotiations between the relevant parties, which are in line with market rates and are in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
