  • (b) a premium of approximately 7.77% to the closing price of HK$5.28 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day; and

  • (b) a premium of approximately 7.77% to the closing price of HK$5.28 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day; and

  • (c) a premium of approximately 11.74% to the average closing price of approximately HK$5.092 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five consecutive trading days up to the date immediately preceding the Last Trading Day.

The initial GAW Conversion Price of HK$5.21 represents:

  • (a) a 10% premium over the prior 30 Trading Days’ volume-weighted average price upon the signing of the GAW Subscription Agreement;

  • (b) a discount of approximately 1.33% to the closing price of HK$5.28 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day; and

  • (c) a premium of approximately 2.32% to the average closing price of approximately HK$5.09 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five consecutive trading days up to the date immediately preceding the Last Trading Day.

The initial Warrant Subscription Price of HK$6.17 represents:

  • (a) a 30% premium over the prior 30 Trading Days’ volume-weighted average price upon the signing of the GS Subscription Agreement and the OrbiMed Subscription Agreement respectively;

  • (b) a premium of approximately 16.86% to the closing price of HK$5.28 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day; and

The Company has engaged a valuer to assess the fair value of the Warrants by using binomial option pricing model based on (i) the terms of the Warrants, in particular, the Warrant Subscription Price and 5-year exercise period, (ii) the historical stock price volatility of the Company of approximately 39.287%, (iii) the risk free rate of 0.284% and (iv) the dividend yield of 4.19%.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Further, the monetary value of the Warrants was not the sole factor considered by the Board. Each of the initial GS Conversion Price, the initial OrbiMed Conversion Price, the initial GAW Conversion Price, the issue price of the Warrants (which is nil) and the initial Warrant Subscription Price above were determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and each of the Subscribers with reference to the prevailing market price of the Shares, current market sentiment, the Group’s financial position, the historical Share price, liquidity of the Shares in the market and the market conditions. The following factors have also been taken into account:

  1. the issue of the Convertible Bonds and the Warrants is a packaged deal and therefore the Conversion Price, the Warrant Subscription Price and the issue price of the Warrants (which is nil) cannot be considered on a standalone basis;

  2. the benefits of introducing GS and GAW, both being reputable institutional investors, as strategic investors of the Company and strengthening the investor portfolio of the Company, which may in turn bring a positive image to the Group and confidence of the public in the long run;

  3. the introduction of GS and GAW as strategic investors shall empower the Group’s access to global resources in business development and financing. The Group may, depending on the market circumstances, consider exploring with GS on the formation of a joint venture in the future and increase the market competitiveness of the Group by leveraging on the capital and resources of GS;

  4. the increased investment from OrbiMed will further strengthen the relationships between the Group and the renowned investment fund with focus on healthcare industry and would be an appropriate means of fund raising for the Company;

  5. the immediate availability of financial resources for the Group resulting from the issue of the Convertible Bonds to proceed with the expansion of clinic network of the Company and acquisitions and mergers;

  6. the willingness of the Subscribers to subscribe for the Convertible Bonds and the Warrants despite the current challenging market conditions;

  7. although no proceed will be raised from the initial subscription of the Warrants, the Company will receive a large sum of money in the future if the Subscription Rights are exercised in full, which can strengthen the capital base of the Company and strengthen the Company’s financial position to better equip the Group with financial flexibility and enable the Group to further develop its business;

  8. the Warrants is not expected to have liquid market as they are unlisted Warrants; and

  9. the issue of the Convertible Bonds and the Warrants do not have any immediate dilution effect on the shareholdings of the existing Shareholders.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, OrbiMed Asia Partners III, L.P., through OrbiMed, holds 6.02% of the total issued share capital of the Company.

GAW is a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and invests primarily in medical related businesses. GAW is owned by Gaw Capital Partners, a private equity fund management company focusing on global real estate markets, and its affiliates.

The gross proceeds and the net proceeds (after deducting all costs and expenses incurred) from the Subscription are expected to be approximately HK$613.6 million and approximately HK$611.7 million, respectively. The net Conversion Prices and Warrant Subscription Prices, after deducting such fees, costs and expenses, will be approximately HK$5.61 per Conversion Share and HK$6.15 per Warrant Share, respectively.

– 25 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

It is intended that the net proceeds received by the Company from the issue of the Convertible Bonds will be utilised as follows:

  • (i) approximately 40% of the net proceeds in the sum of HK$121.3 million raised from the Convertible Bonds will be used to expand the clinic network of the Company in Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area in the PRC;

  • (ii) approximately 45% of the net proceeds in the sum of HK$136.4 million raised from the Convertible Bonds will be used on mergers and acquisitions; and

  • (iii) approximately 15% of the net proceeds in the sum of HK$45.5 million raised from the Convertible Bonds will be used as the general working capital of the Company.

It is intended that the net proceeds to be received by the Company from the issue of the Warrants will be utilized in the same proportion as above. Therefore, if the Warrants are exercised in full:

  • (i) approximately 40% of the net proceeds in the sum of HK$123.4 million will be used to expand the clinic network of the Company in Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area in the PRC;

  • (ii) approximately 45% of the net proceeds in the sum of HK$138.8 million will be used on mergers and acquisitions; and

  • (iii) approximately 15% of the net proceeds in the sum of HK$46.3 million will be used as the general working capital of the Company.

The Directors believe the introduction of each of GS and GAW as a strategic investor to the Group shall empower the Group’s access to global resources in business development and financing; and the increased investment from OrbiMed as an existing shareholder to the Group would be an appropriate means of fund raising for the Company.

The Directors further consider that the issue of the Convertible Bonds and the Warrants will not impose immediate dilution on the shareholding of existing Shareholders. If the Conversion Rights in respect of the Convertible Bonds are exercised, the Company’s capital base will be enlarged and strengthened. If the Subscription Rights in respect of the Warrants are exercised, that will result in additional proceeds for the Company.

In view of the above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the terms of each of the Subscription Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
