REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE MASTER AGREEMENTS

The principal business activities of the Group are the manufacture and sale of TCM and pharmaceutical products in the PRC with a focus on concentrated TCM granules, TCM finished drugs and TCM decoction pieces.

The Master Agreements were entered into for the purpose of enabling the Group to continue the business relationship with the CNPGC Group in compliance with the Listing Rules as well as to capture the business opportunities that may be brought about by the CNPGC Group to the Group. CNPGC is a large state-owned pharmaceutical and healthcare group administered directly by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council. Its core businesses are pharmaceutical distribution, pharmaceutical scientific research and manufacture of medical and biotech products. Members of the CNPGC Group have been the suppliers of the Materials and customers of the Products since 1998. The CNPGC Group is a reliable business partner of the Group which has a strong supply capacity and a well-established distribution network. The New Master Purchase Agreement enables the Group to source stable and quality supply of the Materials and the equipment for self use, while the New Master Supply Agreement enables the Group to tap into a larger market and approach a much wider clientele base with the support of the extensive sales and distribution network of the CNPGC Group in the PRC. As CNPGC is one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the PRC and has a long-term relationship with the Group, the Directors considered that the partnership with the CNPGC Group can secure the distribution of the Products to hospitals and retail pharmacies in the PRC via the CNPGC Group as the Group's distributor.

Based on the above, the Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors who will express their view after having considered the advice from Gram Capital) are of the view that the terms of the Master Agreements are fair and reasonable and the entering into of the Master Agreements is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

THE FINANCIAL SERVICES FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT

Date:

20 November 2019

Parties:

(i)

The Company; and

(ii)

Sinopharm Group Finance.

7

Sinopharm Group Finance is a non-bank financial institution regulated by the PBOC and the CBRC. It is owned as to 80% by CNPGC and as to 20% by Sinopharm Group Co., Ltd. (a subsidiary of CNPGC) and is therefore a connected person of the Company. Sinopharm Group Finance is principally engaged in the provision of financial services to the members of the CNPGC Group, including deposit taking, provision of loans, bills acceptance and discounting, finance lease, entrustment loans, settlement services as well as other financial services such as provision of credit certification, financial advisory and other advisory agency services, guarantee services and other services as may be approved by the CBRC.

Subject matter

Pursuant to the Financial Services Framework Agreement, Sinopharm Group Finance agreed to provide the Financial Services to the Group for a period of three years from the date of the Financial Services Framework Agreement. The Group may utilise the Financial Services on a non-compulsory basis. The terms of the Financial Services shall adhere to the following principles:

  1. the terms of the Financial Services shall be no less favorable to the Group than those available to the Group from other independent financial institutions;
  2. for deposit services, the interest rates offered by Sinopharm Group Finance to the Group shall not be lower than (a) the interest rates floor set by the PBOC from time to time for the same category of deposits; and (b) the interest rates offered to the Group by independent commercial banks for the same category of deposits;
  3. for loan services (including discounting, finance lease and other credit related services), the interest rates charged to the Group shall not be higher than (a) the interest rates cap set by the PBOC from time to time for the same category of loans; and (b) the interest rates charged to the Group by independent commercial banks for the same category of loans; and
  4. for Other Financial Services, the fees charged to the Group shall (a) comply with the standard rates promulgated by the PBOC or the CBRC from time to time (if applicable) for such kind of services; and (b) not be higher than the service fees charged to the Group by independent commercial banks for the same kind of services.

Annual Caps

Pursuant to the Financial Services Framework Agreement, the Annual Caps for the deposit services and the loan services (i.e. the maximum daily deposit balance and general credit limit) during the effective period of the Financial Services Framework Agreement (i.e. from 20 November 2019 to 19 November

2022) are as follows:

RMB

Maximum daily deposit balance

600,000,000

General credit limit

1,200,000,000

8

The Annual Caps for the Financial Services were determined based on the potential need of the Financial Services of the Group in the coming years. The Group expects the service fees payable to Sinopharm Group Finance for the Other Financial Services will not exceed HK$3 million for each of the three years ending 19 November 2020, 2021 and 2022.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE FINANCIAL SERVICES

FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT

The Board considers that the entering into of the Financial Services Framework Agreement is in the interest of the Group as it will provide more options to the Group in procuring financial services for its treasury management and the Group will have sole discretion to choose the most suitable service provider. In addition, it is expected that the application procedures for financial services from Sinopharm Group Finance are more efficient, convenient and flexible than the independent commercial banks given the Group's close relationship with the CNPGC Group, and the terms offered by Sinopharm Group Finance will be no less favourable than those offered by the independent commercial banks to the Group according to the Financial Services Framework Agreement. Having considered the above, the Board is of the view that the terms of the Financial Services Framework Agreement (including the Annual Caps for deposit, loan services and Other Financial Services) are fair and reasonable and the entering into of the Financial Services Framework Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

INTERNAL CONTROLS

Internal controls for the Purchases

In accordance with the Group's procurement policy (applicable to purchases from the CNPGC Group and independent third parties), the purchase department shall obtain quotations from at least three suppliers which are in the approved suppliers list. In order to be qualified as an approved supplier, supplier will be evaluated by the purchase department on various aspects of the suppliers, including but not limited to production capacity, financial strengths, qualifications and quality assurance. Currently, there are more than 400 suppliers in the approved suppliers list. To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief, save for the CNPGC Group, all the suppliers in the approved suppliers list are independent of the Company and its connected persons. Quotations received shall then be assessed by the purchase department based on a number of factors, such as price, quality, payment terms, delivery terms and length of business relationship and the supplier with the best overall offer will be selected. After the purchase department approves the Purchases, the general manager of the relevant operating entity will review the terms of the Purchases to ensure that the Purchases are not made in less favourable terms to the Group than those offered by other suppliers. For those Materials or equipment that are exclusively supplied by the CNPGC Group, the Group will confirm with the CNPGC Group that the prices of the Materials or equipment offered by the CNPGC Group to the Group shall be no less favourable than those offered to its other customers.

9

The Board considers that the number of quotations to be obtained (i.e. no less than three) is sufficient for evaluation and the above policy will ensure that the terms offered by the selected supplier are no less favourable than those made available to the Group from other suppliers for similar materials or equipment. Accordingly, the Board is of the view that (i) the Purchases will be conducted on normal commercial terms and will not be prejudicial to the interests of the Company and the Shareholders; and

  1. the above internal control procedures are adequate to safeguard the interest of the Company and the Independent Shareholders in the transactions contemplated under the New Master Purchase Agreement.

Internal controls for the Sales

The Group has an internal price list for the Products which are applicable to all customers (including the CNPGC Group and independent customers). The internal price list is reviewed by the sales and marketing department and finance department annually or more frequently if market condition changes materially. Based on the internal price list, the sales department may offer discounts to customers. The discounts shall be determined based on the sales amount, payment terms, distance of delivery and length of business relationship with the customer according to the pricing policy of the Group. After the sales department approves the Sales, the general manager of the relevant operating entity will review the terms of the Sales to ensure that the discounts are offered in accordance with the Group's pricing policy.

Given that the Group's pricing policy is applicable to all customers (including the CNPGC Group and other independent customers), the Directors consider that the above internal control procedures can ensure that the terms offered to the CNPGC Group are no more favourable than terms offered to other independent customers. Accordingly, the Board is of the view that (i) the Sales will be conducted on normal commercial terms and will not be prejudicial to the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole; and (ii) the above internal control procedures are adequate to safeguard the interest of the Company and the Independent Shareholders in the transactions contemplated under the New Master Supply Agreement.

Internal controls for the Financial Services

In accordance with the Group's internal control policy applicable to procurement of the Financial Services with any financial institutions, the finance department shall obtain quotations from at least three service providers (including Sinopharm Group Finance and other financial institutions). When making decision on choosing the service provider, the terms of service, the interest rate, and other applicable service details of difference service providers are presented and compared. After the finance department has selected the service provider, the chief financial officer will review and approve the terms of the Financial Services to ensure that the service provider which offers terms most suited to the Group's needs is chosen. If Sinopharm Group Finance is selected as the service provider, the chief financial officer will ensure that the terms of the Financial Services strictly adhere to the principles of the Financial Services Framework Agreement set out in the paragraph headed "Subject matter" under "The Financial Services Framework Agreement" above.

10

The Directors consider that the above methods and procedures can ensure the continuing connected transactions contemplated under the Financial Services Framework Agreement will be conducted on normal commercial terms, are fair and reasonable, and are carried out pursuant to the terms of such agreement.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

Sinopharm Hongkong is the controlling Shareholder holding 1,634,705,642 Shares, representing approximately 32.46% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of this announcement. CNPGC is the parent company of Sinopharm Hongkong and Sinopharm Group Finance. As such, both CNPGC and Sinopharm Group Finance are connected persons of the Company and the Purchases, the Sales and the provision of the Financial Services constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company pursuant to Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the Annual Caps for the Purchases and the Sales under the New Master Purchase Agreement and the New Master Supply Agreement, when aggregated, exceed 5%, the entering into of the Master Agreements is subject to the reporting, announcement, annual review and the Independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the Annual Cap for the deposit services under the Financial Services Framework Agreement exceed 0.1% but are all less than 5%, the entering into of the Financial Services Framework Agreement is only subject to the reporting, announcement and annual review requirements, but is exempt from the Independent Shareholders' approval requirement under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

The loan to be provided by Sinopharm Group Finance to the Group under the Financial Services Framework Agreement will constitute financial assistance by a connected person for the benefit of the Group. As the loans will be provided on terms which are no less favourable than those offered by independent third parties and the Company does not intend to offer any assets of the Group as security of the loans, the loan transactions under the Financial Services Framework Agreement will be fully exempt under Rule 14A.90 of the Listing Rules.

Each of them had abstained from voting at the Board meeting on the relevant resolutions for approving the Master Agreements and the Financial Services Framework Agreement (including the respective Annual Caps).

The EGM will be convened by the Company at which resolutions will be proposed to seek approval from the Independent Shareholders for the Master Agreements (including the Annual Caps for the Purchases and the Sales) by way of poll. CNPGC and its associates, which are interested in 1,634,705,642 Shares as at the date of this announcement (representing approximately 32.46% of the total number of issued Shares), will abstain from voting on the relevant resolutions at the EGM.
