The above general mandates will continue in force until whichever of the following first occurs: (i) the conclusion of the AGM; or (ii) the date by which the AGM is required by the Articles or any applicable law(s); or (iii) the revocation or variation by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting. It is therefore proposed to seek your approval by way of ordinary resolutions to be proposed at the AGM to approve the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate. The Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plan to issue any Shares or repurchase any Shares pursuant thereto. Please refer to resolutions numbered 4 to 6 set out in the notice of AGM on pages 18 to 22 of this circular for details of the proposed Issue Mandate and Repurchase Mandate.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of issued Shares was 771,462,180 Shares. Assuming no further Shares are to be issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Issue Mandate will grant the Directors an authority to issue up to 154,292,436 Shares.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

An explanatory statement containing all relevant information relating to the proposed Repurchase Mandate is set out in the Appendix I to this circular. The explanatory statement is to provide you with information reasonably necessary to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution to grant to the Directors the Repurchase Mandate at the AGM.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide the Shareholders with all the information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to approve the Repurchase Mandate.

1. LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their Shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarized below:

  1. the shares to be repurchased by a company must be fully paid-up;
  2. the company has previously sent to its shareholders an explanatory statement complying with the Listing Rules; and
  3. all on market repurchase of shares by a company with its primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by way of a specific approval in relation to specific transactions or by a general mandate to the directors of the company to make such repurchase, and a copy of such resolution together with the necessary documentation have been delivered to the Stock Exchange in accordance with the Listing Rules.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 771,462,180 Shares. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution for repurchase of Shares and on the basis that no further new Shares are issued or repurchased up to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 77,146,218 Shares, representing 10% of the aggregate nominal value of the total issued Shares as at the date of the passing of the ordinary resolution for repurchase of Shares during the period ending on the earlier of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by any applicable laws or the Articles of Association to be held; or

  1. the revocation or variation of the authority given under the resolution by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting.

3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Such repurchase may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets of the Company and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

- 8 -

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE OF SHARES

Any repurchase of the Shares would be funded entirely from the cash flow or working capital facilities available to the Company, and will, in any event be made out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Articles and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Listing Rules. Such funds include, but are not limited to, profits available for distribution. Purchases may only be effected out of the profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose, or, if so authorized by its Articles and subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, out of capital. Any premium payable on a purchase over the par value of the Shares to be purchased must be provided for out of profits of the Company or out of the Company's share premium account, or, if so authorized by the Articles and subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, out of capital.

The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares and they would only exercise the power to repurchase in circumstances where they consider that the repurchase would be in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The Directors consider that if the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full, it might not have a material adverse impact on the working capital or the gearing position of the Company, as compared with the positions disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as at December 31, 2020, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Company were made up. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or on the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

5. GENERAL

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position as compared with the position disclosed in the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2020 in the event that the Repurchase Mandate were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period.

However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

7. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company under the Repurchase Mandate if the same is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate pursuant to the proposed resolution in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Cayman Islands.

8. DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND THE COMPANY'S CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) has any present intention, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by Shareholders, to sell Shares to the Company. No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has any present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

- 10 -

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE

9. TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC SHAREHOLDING

If on exercise of the powers of repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

If the Repurchase Mandate is fully exercised, then, the total number of Shares which will be repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate shall be 77,146,218 Shares (being 10% of the issued share capital of the Company based on the aforesaid assumptions). To the best knowledge of the Company, as at the Latest Practicable Date, Dr. Yinxiang WANG, Dr. Shaojing HU, Ms. Xiaojie WANG, Ms. Yunyan HU, Yakovpharma Ltd, Johwpharma Ltd, Emmanuelhupharma Ltd, Risepharma Ltd, Hmed Ltd, Willgenpharma Ltd, Gloryviewpharma Ltd, Honourpharma Ltd and Blesspharma Ltd, as parties acting in concert, were together interested in 277,098,975 Shares, representing approximately 35.92% of the total number of issued Shares of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise the Repurchase Mandate in full, the interest of the Concert Parties will be increased to approximately 39.90% of the total number of issued Shares of the Company. In the opinion of the Directors, such increase would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate. The Directors do not intend to exercise the power to repurchase Shares to such extent that would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

The Listing Rules prohibit a company from making repurchase on the Stock Exchange if the result of the repurchase would be that less than 25 per cent (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the issued share capital of the Company would be in public hands. The Directors do not have intention to repurchase Shares which would result in less than the prescribed minimum percentage of Shares in public hands.

10. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company has not repurchased any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the period from the Listing Date and up to the Latest Practicable Date.
