POSITIVE PROFIT ALERT

This announcement is made by the Company pursuant to Rule 13.09 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “ Listing Rules ”) and Inside Information Provisions under Part XIVA of the Securities and Future Ordinance.

The board of directors (the “ Board ”) of Genscript Biotech Corporation (the “ Company ”, together with its subsidiaries, collectively, the “ Group ”) wishes to inform the shareholders of the Company and potential investors that, based on the latest review of the unaudited management accounts of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2016 (the “ Management Accounts ”) and the information currently available to the Group, the Group is expected to record a significant increase in the net profit for the year ended December 31, 2016, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2015, mainly due to the increase of sales. The orders of life sciences research services and preclinical drug development services rose significantly, primarily benefiting from our continuous research and development activities which resulted in the launch of advanced and/or improved services and products and improvement in our production efficiency. Since the Company completed the acquisition of Jinan Nornoon Biological Engineering Co., Ltd* (濟南諾能生物工程有限公司) in June 2016, both the number of customers and their purchase volume of industrial synthetic biology products increased, primarily due to the diversified product lines and enhanced marketing activities.
