LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The above targets were set as a basis for performance targets for the vesting of the Options only and do not represent the Board’s projection or forecast of the Group’s performance in the two years ending 31 December 2022. The Board makes no representation on whether any of these targets can or may be achieved by the Group.
If any Option(s) is/are not exercised within the relevant exercise periods set out above, such Option(s) lapse upon the expiry of the relevant exercise period.
Reasons for the Grant of the Options
The purpose of the Scheme is to reward the participants of the Scheme who have contributed or will contribute to the Group and to encourage the participants of the Scheme to work towards enhancing the value of the Company and its Shares for the benefit of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
As disclosed in the annual reports of the Company, the remuneration policy of the Group is generally based on the references of market salary index and individual qualifications. The Group provides its employees with other fringe benefits, including defined contribution retirement schemes, share option scheme and medical coverage. Set out below are details of Mr. Chen’s other fringe benefits, including defined contribution retirement scheme:
| For the financial | year ended 31 December | year ended 31 December | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | ||
| (RMB) | (RMB) | (RMB) | ||
| Salaries, | allowances and benefits in kind | 1,414,000 | 1,559,000 | 1,519,000 |
| Bonus | 3,757,000 | 4,680,000 | 2,462,000 | |
| Pension | scheme contributions | 5,000 | 16,000 | 26,000 |
Note: Mr. Chen was appointed as an executive Director with effect from 8 January 2018. He has been the chief executive officer of the Company since April 2016.
Mr. Chen’s bonus for each year was determined after reviewing the financial performance (in particular net profits after tax) of the Group of the relevant year. While there was an increase in revenue and profit in 2018 compared to 2017, the bonus to Mr. Chen was significantly reduced, as the Remuneration Committee considered that the structure of Mr. Chen’s remuneration package should be adjusted, with a decrease in cash portion coupled with the grant of share options to Mr. Chen in order to align his interest with the Group as a stakeholder to provide incentive to strive for future growth of the Group.
Mr. Chen joined the sales and marketing department of Suzhou Dawnrays Pharmaceutical Company Limited, a subsidiary of the Company, in August 2002 as area manager and was responsible for developing area market of the Group’s new specific medicines and managing

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
sales business. Mr. Chen has extensive experience in sales promotion, network building, branding upgrade, planning and managing of business development in China pharmaceutical market.
Mr. Chen was appointed as the chief executive officer of the Company in April 2016 and was appointed as the executive Director in January 2018. As the chief executive officer of the Company, Mr. Chen is responsible for the Group’s daily business operations and management. Despite various reforms introduced by the PRC government over the past years which brought downward pressure on sales of the Group’s products and profit margins, Mr. Chen has implemented measures (including but not limited to the expansion of overseas markets, streamlining of the sales team for efficiency and cost control, focus sales efforts on selected products, expansion the sales network to chain pharmacies) to maintain the revenue and profit of the Group amid the challenges. The financial performance of the Group between 2016 and 2018 have gradually increased in terms of its revenue, gross profit and profit (before and after tax) and continued to be in a position to distribute dividends to its Shareholders between 2016 and 2018. In view of the above, the grant of 32,000,000 unconditional Options is commensurate with his past contribution to the Group.
Subsequent to the completion of the acquisition of Top Field Limited in May 2019 (which was the subject of the Company’s announcement dated 27 February 2019), the major product developed by the subsidiary(ies) of Top Field Limited, Atorvastatin calcium tablet (阿托伐他 汀鈣片) (indicated for the treatment of high blood lipid to prevent cardiovascular diseases) has been added to the Group’s product portfolio. In order to encourage Mr. Chen to further engage in the development and management of the newly acquired companies and product, and to maintain the profitability of the Group’s existing products, the Board has decided to further grant Mr. Chen 32,000,000 Options with performance targets in 2021 to 2022 as incentive and motivation to commit to the long-term business growth of the Company. The Board is of the view that the grant of such 32,000,000 conditional Options is commensurate with his possible future contribution to the Group given that measures for medical reform are introduced constantly and the Group must adapt to the new environment by adjusting its business model from time to time accordingly. Mr. Chen with his extensive experience and knowledge in the industry could lead the Group to develop new products and introduce new measures to cope with such changes in the industry. Granting such 32,000,000 conditional Options to Mr. Chen could provide incentive for him to achieve the 2021 Performance Targets and the 2022 Performance Targets.
The Board (including members of the remuneration committee of the Company) determined the number of Options to be granted to Mr. Chen (being 64,000,000 Options, representing approximately 4.09% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date) offers Mr. Chen the opportunity of becoming a substantial shareholder (as defined under Part XV of the Securities and Futures Ordinance) (assuming exercise in full of (i) 16,000,000 share options held by him as at the Latest Practicable Date (see below); and (ii) 64,000,000 Options), with the aim to encourage Mr. Chen to continue working with the Company to strive for better returns for all Shareholders.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
In view of the above, the Directors considered that the grant of the 64,000,000 Options in aggregate to Mr. Chen is fair and reasonable and therefore is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Listing Rules Implications
The grant of the Options to Mr. Chen has been approved by the independent nonexecutive Directors in accordance with Rule 17.04(1) of the Listing Rules.
As the total number of Shares to be issued upon full exercise of the Options granted to Mr. Chen represents over 1% of the Shares in issue as at the date of grant, pursuant to the note to Rule 17.03(4) of the Listing Rules, the grant of the Options to Mr. Chen will be subject to approval by the Shareholders in EGM with Mr. Chen and his associates abstaining from voting. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Chen beneficially owned 8,377,000 Shares (representing approximately 0.54% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date) and held 16,000,000 share options granted by the Company.
