Use of proceeds from the Global Offering

In respect of drug early development service platform construction project (including model animal base in China and model animal-based drug early development service platform project), which is allocated with around 32% of the proceeds from the proposed Issue of A Shares, it is of a nature different from the use of proceeds from the Global Offering.

– 12 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In respect of antibody development and evaluation project (which accounts for around 21% of the proceeds from the proposed Issue of A Shares), while approximately HK$80.55 million of the proceeds from the Global Offering was allocated to the antibody drug discovery and development (Project Integrum), a significant portion of the proceeds from the Global Offering have already been utilized by the Company. As of February 28, 2023, HK$68.05 million (representing approximately 84% of the proceeds from the Global Offering allocated for such purpose) has already been utilized, mainly to cover expenses incurred by the Company so far on the project. Taking into account of factors including development and capacity expansion of the project, the actual usage of the proceeds from the Global Offering, the Company considered that the intended allocation of proceeds from the proposed Issue of A Shares to the project is well-founded and is in line with the Company’s plan of future development.

In respect of the proceeds from the Issue of A Shares allocated for preclinical and clinical development, these proceeds are expected to be primarily used to fund trials of several pre-clinical projects, and pre-clinical CMC research and toxicology and pharmacology research. The intended use of such proceeds is distinct from the primary use of proceeds from the Global Offering, such as funding clinical research and development of Core Products of the Company (YH003 and YH001) and other clinical stage candidates of the Company (YH002 and YH004). 5% of the net proceeds from the Global Offering (i.e. HK$26.85 million) was allocated for funding pre-clinical trials for six other candidates including YH008, YH009, YH006, YH010, YTH012 and YH013.

3. Proposed Guarantee for Bank Credit Facilities for a Wholly Owned Subsidiary

To meet the construction needs of the model animal application and industrialization base project of Biocytogen (Beijing) Biological Engineering Co., Ltd. (百奧賽圖(北京)生物工程有 限公司) (“ Biocytogen Daxing ”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Biocytogen Daxing delegated Nantong Shihua Construction Engineering Co., Ltd (南通仕華建設工程有限 公司) (“ Nantong Shihua ”) to carry out the construction work on behalf of the project in 2008, and Nantong Shihua will provide funds for the project in advance during the construction period. Biocytogen Daxing shall pay Nantong Shihua an annual installment of RMB8 million upon completion of the project and 8% of the outstanding management fee for the construction work on its behalf.

In view of the recent significant reduction in domestic loan interest rates, Biocytogen Daxing intends to apply for a comprehensive credit line of RMB150 million from commercial banks for early repayment of Nantong Shihua’s construction project and other expenses, and this adjustment will help Biocytogen Daxing save significantly on interest expenses.

Biocytogen Daxing uses its land use rights and houses located in Building 1, Building 2 and Building 3 of No. 12, Baoshen South Street, Daxing District, Beijing (Real Estate Right Certificate No. 0010971, No. 0010970 and No. 0010969) to guarantee the loan within the above credit line, and the Company agrees to provide joint liability guarantee for the loan incurred by Biocytogen Daxing within the above credit line.

The Board has authorised the chairman of the Board to carry out issues, including signing legal documents, related to guarantee related issue within the scope of the above credit line. An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the EGM to consider and approve the guarantee.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • III. OTHER INFORMATION IN RELATION TO THE PROPOSED ISSUE OF A SHARES

1. Reasons for the Issue of A Shares and listing on the Sci-Tech Board

In order to further accelerate the Company’s development and improve its comprehensive competitiveness, the Company considers that the proposed listing on the Sci-Tech Board meets the needs of the Company and would be beneficial to the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

Subsequent to the Global Offering, the Company has identified new project opportunities which suit the Company’s future development and business needs. These are new business opportunities that were not available to the Company as at the time of the Global Offering. For instance, the drug early development service platform construction project is an example of such opportunities. The proposed Issue of A Shares will allow the Company to have sufficient funds to capture these new business opportunities which are crucial to the Company’s future development.

In particular, in respect of the drug early development service platform construction project and antibody development and evaluation project, the drug early development service platform construction project will enable the Company to continue to expand its preclinical CRO services and launch innovative model animal models to ensure the continued expansion of its business and maintain a high level of profitability.

The proceeds from the Issue of A Shares for antibody development and evaluation project will greatly facilitate the development of the Company’s antibody discovery platform for more than 1,000 potential drug discovery targets, which will continue to generate significant upfront and milestone payments and royalties for the Company. The antibody discovery business will also be a strong source of continued revenue growth for the Company.

Benefits of becoming a dual listed company

The Issue of A Shares and listing on the Sci-Tech Board would enhance the reputation and influence of the Company by achieving listing statuses in both the PRC and Hong Kong stock markets. The Company would also have access to an established platform in the PRC capital market and broaden its capital base and financing channels. In addition to the compliance with the Listing Rules, the Company and its internal control framework also have to meet the requirements under the “Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Science and Technology Innovation Board of the Shanghai Stock Exchange” (《上海證券交易所科創板股票上市規則》) and other laws and regulations related to a domestically listed company following the Issue of A Shares and listing on the Sci-Tech Board. Therefore, the Company would be able to maintain and optimize its corporate governance in its management structures and internal governance policies and continue to ensure effective accountability.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Enabling the Company to pursue further R&D and commercialization of its pipeline products

The Company is a biopharmaceutical and revenue-generating pre-clinical research services company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

At the time of the listing of the H Shares on the Stock Exchange, the Stock Exchange has granted the Company a waiver from strict compliance with the requirements of Rule 8.08(1)(a) of the Listing Rules, pursuant to which the Company is required to maintain a minimum public float (as defined under the Listing Rules) at the higher of: (a) 16.42%; (b) such percentage of H Shares to be held by the public immediately after completion of the Global Offering and before the Over-allotment Option is exercised; and (c) such percentage of H Shares to be held by the public upon any exercise of the Over-allotment Option, of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company. Details of the waiver in relation to public float is set out in “Waiver in respect of the Public Float Requirement” in the Prospectus.

Following the Global Offering (including the partial exercise of the Over-allotment Option), to the best of knowledge of the Company having made all reasonable enquiries, as of the Latest Practicable Date, the Company maintained a minimum public float of H Shares of approximately 16.31%.

As it is expected that no Issue of A Shares will be made to connected persons of the Company, (i) assuming that a maximum of 99,849,605 A Shares shall be issued for the A Share Offering, it is expected that at least a total of 164,978,745 Shares, representing approximately 33.05% of the total issued share capital of the Company (as enlarged by the issue of the A Shares under the proposed Issue of A Shares); and (ii) assuming that a minimum of 44,377,603 A Shares shall be issued for the A Share Offering, it is expected that at least a total of 112,216,743 Shares, representing approximately 25.29% of the total issued share capital of the Company (as enlarged by the issue of the A Shares under the proposed Issue of A Shares) will be held by the public (including H Shares and A Shares held by the public but excluding any H Shares and A Shares held by the substantial shareholders, Directors, Supervisors, chief executive of the Company and their respective close associate(s)) following the completion of the proposed Issue of A Shares. As such, the Company would still be able to meet the minimum requirement in respect of the public float percentage under the Listing Rules as imposed by the Stock Exchange at the time of the Global Offering.

The Company endeavors to closely monitor its public float percentage (including H Shares and A Shares held by the public) to maintain the percentage of listed securities held by the public above the minimum level prescribed by Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules at all times, including during the stabilization period for the newly issued A shares. The Company will also ensure its compliance with relevant requirements on public float as stipulated under the Listing Rules and will promptly notify the Stock Exchange of any changes in the Company’s public float.

3. Fund raising activities in the past twelve months

On August 31, 2022, the Company issued 21,758,500 new H Shares at HK$25.22 per H Share for total net proceeds of approximately HK$471.1 million by way of initial public offering of the Company on the Stock Exchange.

On September 23, 2022, as part of the Global Offering, the over-allotment option was partially exercised and the Company issued an aggregate of 2,710,000 H Shares at HK$25.22 per H Share for total net proceeds of approximately HK$65.9 million.

APPENDIX II PROPOSED FORMULATION OF THE INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING AND THE SHAREHOLDER RETURN PLANNING OF RMB ORDINARY SHARES (A SHARES) DUE WITHIN THREE YEARS (INCLUDING THE YEAR OF LISTING) AFTER THE LISTING ON THE SSE STAR MARKET

III. MAIN COMPONENTS OF THE PLAN

3.1 Cash Dividends

In all of the following conditions, the Company shall make cash distributions and the annual profit distributed in cash (including cash dividends already distributed in the interim period) shall not be less than 10% of the distributable profit realized in the current year, or the cumulative profits distributed in cash for three consecutive years shall not be less than 30% of the average annual distributable profit realized during the same period; if any of the following conditions are not met, the Company may determine whether to make cash distributions based on the actual situation:

  • 1 The distributable profit realized by the Company in the current year (i.e., the after-tax profit remaining after making up for losses and extracting reserves) is positive;

  • 2 The audit institution issues a standard unqualified audit report on the Company’s financial statements for the current year;

  • 3 The Company has no major investment plans or major cash expenditures (except fund raising projects).

  • 3 If the Company has developed into its growth stage and has major capital expenditure arrangement(s), the minimum proportion of cash dividend in the profit distribution shall reach 20%.

Where it is difficult to distinguish its development stage but there are major capital expenditure arrangements, the profit distribution shall be subject to the preceding paragraph.

PROPOSED FORMULATION OF IMPACT ANALYSIS OF DILUTED IMMEDIATE RETURN ON THE IPO OF RMB ORDINARY SHARES (A SHARES) AND MEASURES TO MAKE UP THE GAP

APPENDIX III

BIOCYTOGEN PHARMACEUTICALS (BEIJING) CO., LTD.

IMPACT ANALYSIS OF DILUTED IMMEDIATE RETURN ON THE IPO OF RMB ORDINARY SHARES (A SHARES) AND MEASURES TO MAKE UP THE GAP

In accordance with the relevant requirements of the Certain Opinions of the State Council on Further Strengthening the Protection of the Legitimate Rights and Interests of Minority Investors in the Capital Market (Issuance No. 110 [2013] of the General Office of the State Council) and the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC)’s Guidance Opinions on Matters Related to Initial Public Offerings and Refinancing and Diluted Immediate Return on Material Assets Reorganization (Announcement No. 31 [2015] of the CSRC), Biocytogen Pharmaceuticals (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) has analyzed the possible impacts of this public offering and listing on SSE STAR Market on shareholders’ equity and immediate return, and has proposed the measures to make up the gap based on the actual situation and made commitments to effectively implement these measures. The details are as follows:

1 IMPACTS OF THIS OFFERING ON THE COMPANY’S MAIN FINANCIAL INDICATORS

After the consummation of this offering, the Company may be subject to a decrease in basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share, but the proceeds from this offering will significantly increase the Company’s total net assets and net asset size per share, enhancing its asset scale and financial strength. Due to the fact that the proceeds from this offering require some time to generate benefits since its investment into the projects, it is difficult to release the expected operating performance in a short period of time. If the Company has no significant growth in profits during this period, the expansion of equity scale and net asset size may render the Company at risk of dilution of earnings per share and return on equity (ROE).

2 NECESSITY AND REASONABILITY OF THIS OFFERING

The Company intends to invest the proceeds from this public offering in the construction project of a Chinese model animal base, the construction project of an antibody-drug R&D and evaluation center, and its preclinical and clinical R&D projects. The above projects center around the Company’s main business and core technology, and meet the needs of the Company’s future business development. In the short term, the Company’s annual increase in depreciation and amortization will reduce the Company’s net profits to some extent as the investment of proceeds from this offering will not generate immediate economic benefits. In the long run, with the gradual implementation of these projects, the benefits will be gradually reflected and continuously transformed into the Company’s performance, which will help improve the Company’s sustainable profitability and constantly enhance its market competitiveness.

– III-1 –

PROPOSED FORMULATION OF IMPACT ANALYSIS OF DILUTED IMMEDIATE RETURN ON THE IPO OF RMB ORDINARY SHARES (A SHARES) AND MEASURES TO MAKE UP THE GAP

APPENDIX III

Upon the proceeds from this offering are in place, the Company shall have its share capital, net assets, and net assets per share significantly increased, and its overall strength further enhanced. As the proportion of net assets increases significantly, the Company’s asset-liability ratio will decrease, its financial structure will be further optimized, its indirect financing ability enhanced, and its ability to resist risks greatly improved. At the same time, this offering will increase the Company’s capital reserve, making its capital structure more stable. The Company’s net assets and net assets per share will be significantly increased, and its ability to expand the share capital will be further enhanced, creating good conditions for its further development.

3 SPECIFIC MEASURES TO MAKE UP FOR THE DILUTED IMMEDIATE RETURN

3.1 Enhancing the Competitiveness of Existing Business Sectors and Further Improving the Profitability of the Company

The Company will further actively explore production management and sales mode conducive to its sustainable development, and further expand domestic and foreign customers to increase business revenues, reduce costs and promote profits; design more reasonable capital utilization plans, control the cost of capital, and save the Company’s financial expenses; strengthen the Company’s internal control, further enhance the budget management and budget implementation supervision, and comprehensively and effectively control the Company’s operation and management risks.

3.2 Accelerating the Progress of Project Construction and Striving to Achieve the Expected Benefits As Soon As Possible

Upon the proceeds from this offering are in place, the Company will accelerate the construction of the investment projects to realize the expected benefits as soon as possible. At the same time, the Company will strictly manage the use of the proceeds in accordance with relevant laws and regulations and the requirements of the Company’s management system of proceeds to ensure its full and effective use under its intended purposes.

3.3 Improving the Management and Use Efficiency of Raised Funds

In accordance with laws and regulations, normative documents, and the Articles of Association , the Company has formulated the Administrative Measures for the Use of Raised Funds , which clearly stipulates the storage, use, change of purpose, management, and supervision of the special accounts for such proceeds. Upon the proceeds from this offering are in place, the Board of Directors of the Company, with the purpose of ensuring the Company’s standard and effective use of proceeds, will continue to supervise the Company’s special storage and dedicated use of proceeds, cooperate with regulatory banks and sponsor agencies on the inspection and supervision of the use of proceeds to ensure the proceeds are used in a reasonable and standardized manner and reasonably prevent the risks during its use.

3.4 Establishing a Sound and Sustainable Profit Distribution Policy and Enhancing the Investor Return Mechanism

Under the requirements of the Notice on Further Implementing Matters Related to Cash Dividends of Listed Companies (Issuance No. 37 [2012] of the CSRC) and No. 3 Guidelines on the Bylaws of Listed Companies – Cash Dividends for Listed Companies (Announcement No. 3 [2022] of the CSRC) issued by the CSRC and other documents, the Company has, upon fully considering the actual situation of its business development and shareholder return, further refined the provisions of the dividend distribution principles in the Articles of Association to enhance transparency and operability of dividend distribution decisions. It has also formulated the Initial Public Offering and the Shareholder Return Planning of RMB Ordinary Shares (A Shares) Due within Three Years (including the Year of Listing) After the Listing on the SSE STAR Market . Both measures intend to clarify the returns and dividends on equity to the Company’s shareholders. In the future, the Company will strictly implement the profit distribution policy and actively make profit distributions to shareholders, and optimize the investment return mechanism when the distribution conditions are met.

3.5 Further Improving Corporate Governance to Provide Governance Structure and Institutional Guarantee for the Company’s Sustainable and Stable Development
