This announcement is made by CStone Pharmaceuticals (the "Company," together with its subsidiaries, collectively referred to as the "Group" or "CStone") on a voluntary basis.
Joint Share Purchase Plan Initiated by the Directors and Senior Management
Based on the confidence in the future development prospects of the Company and the recognition of the long-term investment value of the Company, Dr. Jianxin Yang ("Dr. Yang"), the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), President of R&D and Executive Director of the Company, together with other members of the board (the "Board") of directors (the "Directors") of the Company, and certain members of the senior management of the Company (the "Senior Management"), subject to compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and other applicable laws and regulations, initiate the plan for purchase of additional shares of the Company in the open market using their personal funds (the "Joint Share Purchase Plan").
