CONNECTED TRANSACTION

FORMATION OF THE JV COMPANY

FORMATION OF THE JV COMPANY

The Board announced that, on 4 February 2021, Tianjin Qianda, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Shareholders Agreement with Fosun Trade in relation to the Formation of JV, pursuant to which the registered capital of the JV Company is RMB50 million, of which Tianjin Qianda proposed to make cash contribution in the amount of RMB25.5 million, representing 51% of the equity interest in the JV Company, and Fosun Trade proposed to make cash contribution in the amount of RMB24.5 million, representing 49% of the equity interest in the JV Company. After the establishment of the JV Company, it will become a subsidiary of the Company.

IMPLICATIONS OF THE HONG KONG LISTING RULES

As Fosun Trade is a subsidiary of Fosun High Tech, Fosun Trade constitutes an associate of Fosun High Tech, hence a connected person of the Company under Rule 14A.07 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules. Therefore, the Formation of JV constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Hong Kong Listing Rules. Given that the party to the Shareholders Agreement is the same connected person as the relevant parties to Previous Connected Transactions, the Formation of JV and the Previous Connected Transactions shall be aggregated pursuant to Rule 14A.81 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules. As the percentage ratio applicable to the sum of the Formation of JV and the Previous Connected Transactions is more than 0.1% but less than 5%, the Formation of JV is subject to reporting and announcement requirements but is exempted from the independent shareholders' approval requirement under Chapter 14A of the Hong Kong Listing Rules.
