VOLUNTARY ANNOUNCEMENT

PROGRESS UPDATE ON THE LICENSE AGREEMENT ENTERED

INTO BY A SUBSIDIARY

This announcement is made by Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical (Group) Co., Ltd.* (the "Company") on a voluntary basis.

References are made to the overseas regulatory announcements of the Company dated 15 March 2020 and 12 November 2020, the announcements of the Company dated 10 November 2020, 16 December 2020 and 25 January 2021 (the "Announcements") in relation to, among others, the entering in to the License Agreement and the Amendment No.1 between Fosun Pharmaceutical Industrial and BioNTech, pursuant to which BioNTech granted Fosun Pharmaceutical Industrial a license to exclusively develop and commercialise its COVID-19 Vaccine developed based on BioNTech's proprietary mRNA technology platform targeting COVID-19 in the Territory. Unless the context otherwise specified, capitalised terms used herein shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Announcements.

The government of the Macau Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China ("Macau") proposed to purchase a total of 400,000 doses of the COVID-19 Vaccine, namely BNT162b2 (the "Vaccine") for the local COVID-19 vaccination programme. The Board is pleased to announce that, on 23 February 2021, the Health Bureau of Macau granted the special import authorisation of the Vaccine for the use of the local COVID-19 vaccination programme by Health Bureau of Macau, of which the amount of the Vaccine is no more than 105,000 doses (the "Import Authorisation").

The Company wishes to remind shareholders and potential investors of the Company that, further import of the Vaccine in addition to the Import Authorisation for the Macau government's vaccination programme must be approved by new application for authorisation according to the implementation requirements of the Macau government's COVID-19 vaccination programme. The sale of the Vaccine in Macau in addition to applicable circumstances of the Import Authorisation is subject to approval from the local authorities. The supply of the Vaccine in Macau underthe Import Authorisation is still subject to, among others, the development of the epidemic, the progress of the government's vaccination programme and production and/or supply chain capabilities. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should therefore exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company.

By order of the Board
