Biography of Ms. Liu

Ms. LIU Yanli , aged 35, is currently the director of legal and operation management of the Company and Shenyang Sunshine Pharmaceutical Company Limited ( 瀋陽三生製藥有限責任 公司 , “ Shenyang Sunshine ”). She is responsible for overseeing general operational matters of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “ Group ”). Ms. Liu has served as a director of Hongkong Sansheng Medical Limited ( 香港三生醫藥有限公司 ) since November 2014 and a director of Sirton Pharmaceuticals S.p.A. since January 2015. She has also served as the supervisor of Shenzhen Baishitong Technology Development Company Limited ( 深圳市百士通科技開發 有限公司 ), Shenzhen Sciprogen Bio-pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. ( 深圳賽保爾生物藥業有限公 司 ) and Guangdong Sciprogen Bio-pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd. ( 廣東賽保爾生物醫 藥技術有限公司 ) since December 2014. Ms. Liu joined Shenyang Sunshine as an international sales representative in January 2007. Ms. Liu served as an assistant to the chief executive officer and project manager of foreign drug registration of Shenyang Sunshine from 2008 to 2011.

Waiver from strict compliance with Rules 3.28 and 8.17 of the Listing Rules

Pursuant to Rule 3.28 and Rule 8.17 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities (the “ Listing Rules ”) on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “ Stock Exchange ”), a listed issuer must appoint a company secretary who, by virtue of his/her academic or professional qualifications or relevant experience, is, in the opinion of the Stock Exchange, capable of discharging the functions of company secretary.

Ms. Liu currently does not possess the qualifications of company secretary as required under Rule 3.28 of the Listing Rules.

Both the Company and Ms. Liu appreciate that the company secretary will play an important role in the corporate governance of the Company, particularly in assisting the Company and its directors (the “ Directors ”) in complying with the Listing Rules and other applicable company and securities laws and regulations.

The Company further understands that since its Directors and senior management do not reside in Hong Kong, it is particularly important that its company secretary possesses sufficient knowledge and experience in discharging his/her function as a joint company secretary.

The Company believes that Ms. Liu, by virtue of her knowledge and experience in handling legal, corporate and administrative matters as described above, is capable of discharging her functions as a joint company secretary. Further, the Company believes that it would be in the best interests of the Company and the corporate governance of the Group to have as its joint company secretary a person such as Ms. Liu who possesses the relevant experience of the Group’s legal, corporate and administrative matters.

In this regard, the Company proposes to make the following arrangements:

• (1) Ms. Lai, as the other joint company secretary, will work closely with, and provide assistance to, Ms. Liu in the discharge of her duties as a joint company secretary for an initial three years from the date of her appointment;

• (2) Ms. Liu will comply with the annual professional training requirement under Rule 3.29 of the Listing Rules and will enhance her knowledge of the Listing Rules during the three-year period from her appointment;

• (3) The Company will further ensure that Ms. Liu has access to the relevant training and support that would enhance her understanding of the Listing Rules and the duties of a company secretary of an issuer listed on the Stock Exchange;

• (4) At the end of the three-year period, the Company will further evaluate the qualifications and experience of Ms. Liu and the need for on-going assistance of Ms. Lai; and

• (5) The Company will liaise with the Stock Exchange to enable it to assess whether Ms. Liu, having had the benefit of Ms. Lai’s assistance for three years, will have acquired the relevant experience within the meaning of Rule 3.28 of the Listing Rules so that a further waiver will not be necessary.

The Company has applied for, and the Stock Exchange has granted to the Company, a waiver from strict compliance with Rules 3.28 and 8.17 of the Listing Rules (the “ Waiver ”) with respect to the appointment of Ms. Liu as a joint company secretary of the Company for a period of three years commencing from the date of her appointment (the “ Waiver Period ”) on the conditions that: (1) Ms. Liu will be assisted by Ms. Lai in discharging her duties as a joint company secretary of the Company during the Waiver Period; (2) the Company notifies the Stock Exchange at the end of the Waiver Period for the Stock Exchange to re-visit the situation; and (3) the Company will disclose the details of the Waiver, including reasons for the Waiver and the Waiver conditions, by way of an announcement. The Waiver will be revoked immediately when Ms. Lai ceases to provide assistance to Ms. Liu. The Stock Exchange may withdraw or change the Waiver if the Company’s situation changes.
