瑛泰醫療器械有限公司), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The construction is expected to take not more than RMB300 million and will be financed by the re-allocated portion of the Unutilized Net Proceeds and internal resources of the Company.
The Board considers the Shandong INT Innovative Medical Instruments Industrial Park beneficial in strengthening the Group's in-house R&D and manufacturing capacity, and the re-allocation of the Unutilized Net Proceeds would not impede or otherwise adversely affect the Group's product portfolio or business operation. The Board confirms that there is no material change in the business nature of the Group as set out in the Prospectus and considered that the proposed change in the use of the Unutilized Net Proceeds will not have any material adverse impact on the operations of the Group and is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.
