THE CAPITAL INCREASE AGREEMENT
On February 27, 2017 (after trading hours), the Subscriber, Tianxinfu, Health Access and PW Medtech (Beijing) entered into the Capital Increase Agreement in relation to the increase in the registered capital of Tianxinfu from RMB45 million to RMB56.25 million by issuing an aggregate of 11,250,000 new shares of Tianxinfu to the Subscriber at a total consideration of RMB500 million.

Upon completion of the Capital Increase, the shareholding percentage of the Company (through its subsidiaries) in Tianxinfu will decrease from 100% to 80% and Tianxinfu will remain as a subsidiary of the Company.
LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
As the highest applicable percentage ratio (as defined in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the Deemed Disposal, is more than 5% but less than 25%, the Deemed Disposal constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules, which is subject to the notification and announcement requirements under the Listing Rules.

| Profit before taxation | 120,240 | 154,211 |
| Profit after taxation | 102,660 | 131,606 |

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE CAPITAL INCREASE AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Upon completion of the Capital Increase, the Company’s interest in Tianxinfu will be diluted from 100% to 80%, resulting in a deemed disposal of 20% equity interest in Tianxinfu by the Company. Upon completion of the Capital Increase, Tianxinfu will remain a subsidiary of the Company, and its results, assets and liabilities will continue to be consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Company. Given the Deemed Disposal does not result in a change of control, it will not recognize any gain or loss in the Company’s income statement. After taking into account the unaudited consolidated net asset value of Tianxinfu Group as at December 31, 2016, including the Group’s goodwill attributed to the acquisition of Tianxinfu which amounted to approximately RMB373.2 million, and subject to changes, events and the provisions to be made, if any, subsequent to December 31, 2016, the Deemed Disposal as a result of the Capital Increase is estimated to have a surplus of
– 5 –
approximately RMB259.3 million to be recognized in equity and attributed to the owners of the Company in the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared under HKFRS for the corresponding financial period.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Capital Increase for (i) general corporate fund purposes, including but not limited to working capital, and (ii) future potential investment opportunities.
LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
As the highest applicable percentage ratio (as defined in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the Deemed Disposal, is more than 5% but less than 25%, the Deemed Disposal constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules, which is subject to the notification and announcement requirements under the Listing Rules.
