To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

PROPOSED SPIN-OFF AND SEPARATE LISTING OF TIANXINFU (BEIJING) MEDICAL APPLIANCE CO., LTD. ON THE A SHARE STOCK EXCHANGE AND DEEMED DISPOSAL AND MAJOR TRANSACTION

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated July 24, 2017 (the ‘‘Announcement’’) in relation to the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance.

The Company has submitted a proposal on the Proposed Spin-off to the Stock Exchange pursuant to PN15 and the Stock Exchange has confirmed that the Company may proceed with the Proposed Spin-off. The Stock Exchange has also granted the Company a waiver from strict compliance with the applicable requirements in relation to the assured entitlement under the Proposed Spin-off as required by paragraph 3(f) of PN15. As at the Latest Practicable Date, no formal application for the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance has been filed with the relevant regulatory authorities in the PRC.

– 4 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance constitute a deemed disposal of equity interest in a subsidiary of the Company under Rule 14.29 of the Listing Rules. As the highest applicable percentage ratio calculated pursuant to Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance is expected to be higher than 25% but less than 75%, the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance would constitute a major transaction under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. The Company therefore convenes the EGM to obtain the approval of Shareholders regarding the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance as required under paragraph 3(e)(1) of PN15 and Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, (i) information on the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance; (ii) the recommendation of the Independent Board Committee and the advice of the Independent Financial Advisor regarding the Proposed Spin-off as required under paragraph 3(e) of PN15; and (iii) a notice of the EGM.

THE PROPOSED SPIN-OFF AND THE PROPOSED A SHARES ISSUANCE

Subject to approvals by the Shareholders and the relevant PRC regulators including the CSRC, it is proposed that the Spin-off Company will issue a certain number of A shares on the A Share Stock Exchange by way of initial public offering to the public in the PRC, or other methods as requested or agreed by the CSRC. Immediately before the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance, the equity interest in the Spin-off Company is held as to 80% by the Company.

It is proposed that the Spin-off Company will offer not more than 63,529,412 new shares (the ‘‘Offer Shares’’), which should represent no less than 10% of the total issued share capital of the Spin-off Company immediately after the completion of the Proposed A Shares Issuance.

The number of the Offer Shares held by the public, in any event, will represent not more than 15% of the total issued share capital of the Spin-off Company as enlarged by the Proposed A Shares Issuance. The actual number of Offer Shares to be offered by the Company will be subject to the market conditions and the relevant rules and regulations of the CSRC as amended from time to time. It is expected that immediately after completion of the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance, the Company will have not less than 68% shareholding in the Spin-off Company and therefore the Spin-off Company will remain as a non-wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Spin-off Company had an aggregate of 360,000,000 issued shares, subject to capitalization, consolidation, subdivision or other capital reorganization before the Proposed A Shares Issuance. However, where there is any changes in the offering proposal or other circumstances, which may result in a higher applicable percentage ratio under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules, the Company will re-comply with the requirements for notifiable transaction in accordance with Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

No formal application for the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance has been filed yet. Despite the large amount of work involved in documentation and financial audit relating to the application for the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance, the management

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

of the Spin-off Company is striving to submit the application for the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance to the CSRC in or around 2018, the earliest. Taking into consideration the normal vetting process of the PRC regulators and the average number of new listing applications in the A shares market each year, the Directors expect that the shares of the Spin-off Company will be listed on the A Share Stock Exchange by the end of 2019, the earliest.

Proceeds to be raised from the Proposed A Shares Issuance

The Company estimates the gross proceeds to be raised from the Proposed A Shares Issuance will be no more than RMB682.9 million, which is determined with reference to the following factors:

  • (a) the number of the Offer Shares and the offer price per Offer Share. Based on the expected maximum proceeds of RMB682.9 million to be raised from the Proposed A Shares Issuance assuming the Spin-off Company will issue 15% of its total issued capital as enlarged by the Proposed A Shares Issuance and the maximum number of 63,529,412 A shares to be offered by the Spin-off Company, and having regard to the estimated performance of the Spin-off Company, the view of the sponsor acting for the Spin-off Company in relation to the Proposed A Shares Issuance, the expected issuing condition of the A share market, it is expected that the indicative offer price of the Spin-off Company will be approximately RMB10.75 per Offer Share. The offer price per Offer Share, however, will be subject to of the PRC domestic market conditions at the time of the Proposed A Shares Issuance and would be determined with reference to the price quoted by potential investors during the bookbuilding process. Investors should be aware that the indicative offer price per Offer Share quoted above is for illustrative purposes only and is based on a number of assumptions, which include, among others, the expected maximum amount of proceeds of RMB682.9 million to be raised from the Proposed A Shares Issuance and the maximum of 63,529,412 A Shares to be offered by the Spin-off Company. The above assumptions may be different at the time of the Proposed A Shares Issuance and therefore the actual offer price may be different from the indicative offer price.

  • (b) the capital needs of the projects of the Spin-off Company to be financed from the proceeds of initial public offering. It is expected that the proceeds to be raised from the Proposed A Shares Issuance will be used for the Spin-off Company’s future development in various areas of regenerative medical biomaterial business and other medical device business, and allow the Spin-off Company to expand the scale of its business. Pursuant to the regulations of the CSRC, the amount of proceeds to be raised from initial public offering shall not exceed the capital needs of the projects to be financed from the proceeds of initial public offering of the applicant. Therefore, it is expected that the proceeds to be raised from the Proposed A Shares Issuance will be not more than RMB682.9 million, which is the estimated aggregate amount of capital needs of the projects of the Spin-off Company to be financed from the proceeds of the Proposed A Shares Issuance.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The actual amount of proceeds to be raised from the Proposed A Shares Issuance is subject to the listing application documents to be submitted by the Spin-off Company to the CSRC.

Intended use of proceeds

The Spin-off Company intends to apply the proceeds (after deduction of the issue and related expenses) from the Proposed A Shares Issuance in the following manner:

Amount of
investment based
Approximate on the expected
percentage of the maximum proceeds
Name of project or proposed usage total proceeds of RMB682.9 million

center 26%–30% 206.5–238.2

There may be changes to the proposed use of proceeds after taking into account the business development of the Spin-off Company and the prevailing market conditions. The proposed use of proceeds is subject to the listing application documents to be submitted by the Spin-off Company to the CSRC.

Composition of the board of directors of the Spin-off Company

As of the date of this circular, the board of directors of the Spin-off Company comprises five directors, namely Ms. Yue’e Zhang, Mr. Jiang Liwei, Mr. Lin Junshan, Mr. He Zhibo and Mr. Sun Bingbing. To comply with relevant PRC laws and regulations for the A shares listing, the board of directors of the Spin-off Company is proposed to comprise seven directors including three independent directors.

There will be two common directors between the Spin-off Company and the Company, namely Mr. Jiang Liwei, an executive Director, and Mr. Lin Junshan, a nonexecutive Director upon completion of the Proposed Spin-off.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSED SPIN-OFF AND THE PROPOSED A SHARES ISSUANCE

The Directors consider that the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance will be beneficial to both the Group and the Spin-off Group for the following reasons:

  • (a) there is a great potential demand for regenerative medical biomaterial in the PRC market in terms of both market size and growth prospect. The Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance are expected to promote the reputation and profile of the Spin-off Company in the PRC market and enhance its capabilities to capture and benefit from such market growth;

– 11 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (b) the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance are also expected to allow the Spin-off Company to have a clear business focus, which would help further reinforce its leading position in the regenerative medical biomaterial industry with its own integrated capabilities in research and development, manufacturing, sales and services;

  • (c) the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance is expected to unlock value for the Shareholders and help identify and establish the fair value of the Company’s regenerative medical biomaterial business, in particular, the fair value represented by the Spin-off Company’s state of art technology and know-how in the area of regenerative medical biomaterial;

  • (d) the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance would enable the Spin-off Company to have direct access to the domestic capital market, broaden its financing channels and increase its financing capabilities;

  • (e) the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance would provide the market with great clarity on the business and financial position of the Spin-off Company and help enhance its own corporate governance;

  • (f) the proceeds from the Proposed A Shares Issuance would fund future development in various areas of regenerative medical biomaterial business of the Spin-off Company, and allow it to expand the scale of its business;

  • (g) the Proposed A Shares Issuance and the Proposed Spin-off would enable the Spin-off Company to face the investors directly, which would promote its brand awareness; and

  • (h) the Proposed A Shares Issuance and the Proposed Spin-off would bring market-oriented valuation to the Spin-off Company. It is expected that the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance would enhance the overall value of the Spin-off Company and the value of shares of the Spin-off Company held by the Company, which would in turn enhance the Company’s overall valuation and financing capabilities and create values for the Company and its Shareholders.

Having considered the above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance are fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

ASSURED ENTITLEMENT

As mentioned in the Announcement, the Stock Exchange granted the Company a waiver from strict compliance with the applicable requirements in relation to the assured entitlement under paragraph 3(f) of PN15 (the ‘‘Waiver’’) on the condition that the Company would include in an announcement: (i) the Board’s confirmation to the Company that the Proposed Spin-off and the Waiver are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole;

– 12 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(ii) the reasons for not providing its Shareholders with assured entitlements under the Proposed Spin-off; and (iii) the legal restriction under the PRC laws and regulations in providing the assured entitlement.

In accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules, the Board is required to give due regard to the interests of the existing Shareholders by providing the Shareholders with an assured entitlement to the Offer Shares, if the Proposed A Shares Issuance proceeds. After due and careful consideration of the Proposed A Shares Issuance and having taken into account the advice from the Spin-off Company’s PRC legal counsel, the Board has resolved not to provide assured entitlement to the Shareholders under the Proposed A Shares Issuance for the following reasons:

  • (a) if the Proposed A Shares Issuance is implemented, the Offer Shares will be offered in the domestic market in the PRC and be listed and traded on the A Share Stock Exchange;

  • (b) as advised by the PRC legal counsel of the Spin-off Company, the new shares publicly offered and listed on the A Share Stock Exchange may only be offered to domestic investors in the PRC and Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (the foreign strategic investors who have complied with the requirements). Accordingly, if any Shareholder does not fulfil the above conditions, they cannot be subscribers under the Proposed A Shares Issuance;

  • (c) according to the relevant laws of the PRC, during the issuance of shares by a joint stock company, each share of the same class shall rank pari passu and the issuance conditions including the issue price for shares of the same class issued at the same time shall be the same for each share; and

  • (d) pursuant to the relevant rules and subscription procedures under the Securities Law of the People’s Republic of China and the Administrative Measures on Initial Public Offering and Listing, a listing applicant making public offering is prohibited from making any preferential allocations of offer shares to any specific investor and should treat all investors equally. Therefore, it is impossible for the Spin-off Company to reserve and issue shares for Shareholders in Hong Kong for the purpose of providing assured entitlement pursuant to the existing laws of the PRC.

In addition, based on the information available from the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, none of the Shareholders are reasonably considered as qualified subscribers under the Proposed A Shares Issuance except for those who hold Shares through HKSCC Nominees Limited and it is unduly burdensome and practically difficult for the Company to verify their background information. Even if the Company acquires and verifies all the background information of the beneficial owners holding their Shares through HKSCC Nominees Limited, it is impossible to reserve and issue shares to such Shareholders solely by virtue of holding Shares through HKSCC Nominees Limited pursuant to the existing laws of the PRC.

– 13 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Having considered the above and the reasons for and benefits of the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance under the section headed ‘‘Reasons for and Benefits of the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance’’, the Board is of the view that the Proposed Spin-off, the Proposed A Shares Issuance and the Waiver are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The following is the letter of advice from Somerley Capital Limited, the Independent Financial Adviser, to the Independent Board Committee and the Shareholders, which has been prepared for the purpose of inclusion in this circular.

SOMERLEY CAPITAL LIMITED

20th Floor China Building 29 Queen’s Road Central Hong Kong

August 9, 2017

To: The Independent Board Committee and the Shareholders

Dear Sirs,

PROPOSED SPIN-OFF AND SEPARATE LISTING OF TIANXINFU (BEIJING) MEDICAL APPLIANCE CO., LTD. ON THE A SHARE STOCK EXCHANGE AND

DEEMED DISPOSAL AND MAJOR TRANSACTION

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our appointment as the independent financial adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Shareholders in relation to the Proposed Spin-off. Details of the Proposed Spin-off are set out in the ‘‘Letter from the Board’’ contained in the circular of the Company to the Shareholders dated August 9, 2017 (the ‘‘Circular’’), of which this letter forms part. Capitalised terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Circular unless otherwise defined herein.

Subject to approvals by the Shareholders and the relevant PRC regulators including the CSRC, it is proposed that the Spin-off Company will issue a certain number of A shares on the A Share Stock Exchange by way of initial public offering to the public in the PRC, or other methods as requested or agreed by the CSRC. Immediately before the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance, the equity interest in the Spin-off Company is held as to 80% by the Company. It is expected that immediately upon completion of the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance, the Company will have an interest of not less than 68% in the Spin-off Company and therefore the Spin-off Company will remain as non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

The Company has submitted a proposal on the Proposed Spin-off to the Stock Exchange pursuant to PN15 and the Stock Exchange has confirmed that the Company may proceed with the Proposed Spin-off. The Stock Exchange has also granted the Company a waiver from strict compliance with the applicable requirements in relation to the assured entitlement under the Proposed Spin-off as required by paragraph 3(f) of PN15. Further details regarding the background

– 17 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

to the waiver are set out in the section headed ‘‘Assured Entitlement’’ in the ‘‘Letter from the Board’’ contained in the Circular. As at the Latest Practicable Date, no formal application for the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance has been filed with the relevant regulatory authorities in the PRC yet and the management of the Spin-off Company is seeking for submitting the application for the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance to the CSRC in or around 2018, the earliest, and the executive Directors expect that the shares of the Spin-off Company will be listed on the A Share Stock Exchange by the end of 2019, the earliest.

The Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance constitute a deemed disposal of an equity interest in a subsidiary of the Company under Rule 14.29 of the Listing Rules. As the highest applicable percentage ratio calculated pursuant to Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance is expected to be higher than 25% but less than 75%, the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance would constitute a major transaction of the Company and would be subject to the announcement, circular and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules, and also subject to the approval of the Shareholders under PN15.

The Independent Board Committee, comprising all three independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Zhang Xingdong, Mr. Chen Geng and Mr. Wang Xiaogang, has been formed to make a recommendation to the Shareholders in respect of the terms of the Proposed Spin-off. We, Somerley Capital Limited, have been appointed to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Shareholders in this regard.

During the past two years, there have been no engagements between the Company and Somerley Capital Limited. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were no relationships or interests between Somerley Capital Limited and the Group that could reasonably be regarded as a hindrance to our independence as defined under Rule 13.84 of the Listing Rules to act as the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Shareholders in respect of the Proposed Spin-off as detailed in the Circular.

In formulating our opinion, we have relied on the information and facts supplied, and the opinions expressed, by the executive Directors and management of the Company and we have assumed that the information and facts provided and opinions expressed to us are true, accurate and complete in all material aspects and will remain so up to the time of the EGM. We have also sought and received confirmation from the executive Directors that no material facts have been omitted from the information supplied and opinions expressed to us. We have relied on such information and consider that the information we have received is sufficient for us to reach our advice and recommendation as set out in this letter and to justify our reliance on such information. We have no reason to believe that any material information has been omitted or withheld, or to doubt the truth or accuracy of the information provided. We have, however, not conducted any independent investigation into the business and affairs of the Group, nor have we carried out any independent verification of the information supplied.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinion with respect to the Proposed Spin-off, we have taken into account the principal factors and reasons set out below.

1. Background and financial information of the Group

The Group is principally engaged in the development, manufacturing and sale of regenerative medical biomaterial products and advanced infusion set products. Its regenerative medical biomaterial business mainly focuses on the manufacturing of artificial dura mater, and the Group’s products in this segment are widely used in craniotomy operations and neurosurgery in the PRC. The infusion set business segment of the Group focuses on producing advanced infusion sets such as precision filter infusion sets and non-PVC-based infusion sets. The Company has been listed on the Stock Exchange since November 8, 2013.

As set out in the Company’s 2016 annual report, the Group recorded revenue from continuing operations of approximately RMB566.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, representing an increase of approximately 9.9% as compared to the revenue (restated) in 2015. The Group’s regenerative medical biomaterial business segment and infusion set business segment accounted for approximately 42.6% and 56.4% of the Group’s revenue from continuing operations respectively for the year ended December 31, 2016. The Group’s recorded profit attributable to owners of the Company of approximately RMB194.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. As at December 31, 2016, the Group’s total assets and equity attributable to owners of the Company amounted to approximately RMB2,487.1 million and RMB2,334.3 million respectively.

As set out in the Company’s 2016 annual report and as advised by the executive Directors, to achieve the development goal of ‘‘Healthy China’’, the Chinese government has proposed to build a stronger biomedical and high-performance medical device industry. In addition, the development strategy of ‘‘Made in China 2025 (中國製造2025)’’ has designated the high-performance medical device industry as one of the key development industries, which, together with other supporting policies, creates a favourable development environment for domestic medical device manufacturers. In view of this, and also taking into account, among other things, the expansion of medical insurance coverage and the growth of aging population in the PRC, the executive Directors consider that the prospects of the medical device market in the PRC are encouraging in the long-term despite current challenges as set out in the Company’s 2016 report.

2. Background and financial information of the Spin-off Group

As out in the section headed ‘‘Information of the Spin-off Company’’ in the ‘‘Letter from the Board’’ contained in the Circular, the Spin-off Company is a joint stock company established in the PRC and is principally engaged in the regenerative medical biomaterial business, comprising research and development, manufacturing and sale of regenerative medical biomaterial products. Currently, its key products include artificial dura mater, artificial spinal tissue, artificial nerve sheath and anti-adhesion membrane for ligament and tendon, which are medical implants widely used in craniotomy operations and neurosurgery in the PRC.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Spin-off Company had an aggregate of 360,000,000 issued shares, subject to capitalization, consolidation, subdivision or other capital reorganisation before the Proposed A Shares Issuance. Immediately before the completion of the Proposed Spinoff and the Proposed A Shares Issuance, the equity interest in the Spin-off Company is held as to 80% by the Company. The remaining 20% is held by Xinyu Yongshuo Management and Consulting LLP (新餘永碩管理諮詢合夥企業(有限合夥)) (‘‘Xinyu Yongshuo’’), a limited partnership established in the PRC. As advised by the executive Directors, the principal activity of Xinyu Yongshuo is investment in domestic and international capital markets with a focus on medical device and medical sector.

Set out below is certain key financial information of the Spin-off Group as extracted from the financial statements for the two years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016 prepared under PRC Generally Accepted Accounting Principles:

For the year ended For the year ended
December 31,

(RMB’million) (RMB’million)
Total assets 126.7 135.3

We were advised by the executive Directors that for the year ended December 31, 2016, approximately 96.1% of the revenue of the Spin-off Group was generated from its regenerative medical biomaterial products, and the remaining revenue was generated from orthopaedic and other products. Profit after taxation increased by approximately 15.0% in 2016 as compared to 2015 which was generally in line with revenue growth. As at December 31, 2016, total assets of the Spin-off Group amounted to approximately RMB126.7 million and net assets (excluding minority interests) were approximately RMB73.8 million.

3. Reasons for and benefits of the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance

As set out in the section headed ‘‘Reasons for and benefits of the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance’’ in the ‘‘Letter from the Board’’ contained in the Circular, the executive Directors consider that the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance will be beneficial to both the Group and the Spin-off Group for the reasons as summarised below:

  • (i) to promote the reputation and profile of the Spin-off Company in the PRC market and enhance its capabilities to capture and benefit from the potential market growth, and to allow the Spin-off Company to create a clearly defined business focus;

  • (ii) to enable the Spin-off Company to have direct access to the domestic capital market, broaden its financing channels and increase its financing capabilities;

  • (iii) the proceeds from the Proposed A Shares Issuance will fund future development in various areas of regenerative medical biomaterial business of the Spin-off Company, and allow it to expand the scale of its business; and

  • (iv) to establish market-oriented valuation to the Spin-off Company, by which it is expected that the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance will unlock value for the Shareholders and enhance the overall value of the Spin-off Company and the value of shares of the Spin-off Company held by the Company. This will in turn be expected to enhance the Company’s overall valuation and financing ability and create value for the Company and its Shareholders.

Upon completion of the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance, the financial results of the Spin-off Group will continue to be consolidated into the Company’s accounts. As such, the Company and the Shareholders will continue to enjoy the benefits from the growth and development of the Spin-off Group. In view of this, and taking into account the reasons for and benefits of the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance summarised above, we concur with the executive Directors’ view that the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

4. Conditions of the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance

As set out in the section headed ‘‘Conditions’’ in the ‘‘Letter from the Board’’ contained in the Circular, the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance will be conditional upon, among other things, (i) the approval of the CSRC and the A Share Stock Exchange in relation to the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance; (ii) approval by the Shareholders of the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance at the EGM; and (iii) any other PRC regulatory approvals for the listing of and permission in relation to the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance.

– 21 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

If any of the above conditions is not fulfilled, the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance will not proceed. Further, the Company will proceed with the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance only if the Remaining Group meets the requirements under paragraph 3(c) of PN15 for the three financial years preceding the completion of the Proposed Spinoff and the Proposed A Shares Issuance.

5. Principal structure of the Proposed A share listing

(i) Structure of the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance

The Company currently intends to effect the Proposed Spin-off by way of the Proposed A Shares Issuance on the A Share Stock Exchange. Set out below is the simplified shareholding structure of the Spin-off Company as at the Latest Practicable Date:

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Set out below is the simplified shareholding structure of the Spin-off Company immediately following completion of the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance:

==> picture [349 x 215] intentionally omitted <==

Notes:

  • (a) The above shareholding in the Spin-off Company assumes 15% of the enlarged issued share capital of the Spin-off Company will be offered under the Proposed A Shares Issuance; and

  • (b) Based on the assumption set out in (a) above, the Company is expected to be interested in approximately 68% in aggregate of the enlarged issued share capital of the Spin-off Company immediately upon the Proposed A Shares Issuance.

As illustrated above, it is expected that immediately upon completion of the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance, the Company will have an indirect interest of approximately 68% (i.e. significantly more than 50%) in the Spin-off Company (assuming 15% of the enlarged issued share capital of the Spin-off Company will be offered under the Proposed A Shares Issuance) and therefore the Spin-off Company will remain an indirect nonwholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

(ii) Percentage of A shares to be issued

It is currently proposed that the Spin-off Company will offer not more than 63,529,412 new shares (representing 15% of the total issued share capital of the Spin-off Company as enlarged by the Proposed A Shares Issuance), but such new shares should represent no less than 10% of the total issued share capital of the Spin-off Company after the completion of the Proposed A Shares Issuance (the ‘‘Offer Shares’’). The number of the Offer Shares held by the public, in any event, will represent not more than 15% of the total issued share capital of the Spin-off Company as enlarged by the Proposed A Shares Issuance. The actual number of the offered shares will be subject to the market conditions and the relevant rules and

– 23 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

regulations of the CSRC as amended from time to time. It is expected that immediately after completion of the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance, the Company will have not less than 68% shareholding in the Spin-off Company compared to its 80% interest before such completion.

(iii) Offer price

As set out in the section headed ‘‘The Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance’’ in the ‘‘Letter from the Board’’ contained in the Circular, the management of the Spin-off Company is seeking for submitting the application for the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance to the CSRC in or around 2018, the earliest. As at the Latest Practicable Date, no formal application for the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance has yet been filed.

With reference to, among other things, (i) maximum proceeds of approximately RMB682.9 million are expected to be raised from the Proposed A Shares Issuance; and (ii) the maximum number of A Shares to be offered by the Spin-off Company is expected to be 63,529,412 (assuming 15% of the enlarged issued share capital of the Spin-off Company will be offered under the Proposed A Shares Issuance), it is estimated that the indicative offer price of the Spin-off Company will be approximately RMB10.75 per Offer Share. The actual offer price per Offer Share will be subject to the then issuing conditions of the A share market and would be determined with reference to, among other things, the price quoted by potential investors during the book building process. Shareholders are reminded that the abovementioned indicative price per Offer Share is derived based on a number of assumptions including, among other things, the expected issuing condition of the A share market, the expected maximum amount of proceeds of approximately RMB682.9 million to be raised from the Proposed A Shares Issuance and the maximum of 63,529,412 Offer Shares. The above assumptions may be different at the time of the Proposed A Shares Issuance and therefore the actual offer price may be different from the indicative offer price.

(iv) Intended use of proceeds

With reference to the proposed number of shares that the Spin-off Company intends to offer and the expected offer price as set out above, as well as the capital needs of the project of the Spin-off Company to be financed from the proceeds of the Proposed A Shares Issuance, the maximum gross proceeds to be raised from the Proposed A Shares Issuance is estimated to be approximately RMB682.9 million, which is intended to be used for the Spin-off Company’s future development in various areas of regenerative medical biomaterial business and other medical device business, and allow the Spin-off Company to expand the scale of its business. The actual amount of proceeds to be raised from the Proposed A Shares Issuance is subject to the actual number of shares offered and the conditions of the PRC domestic market at the time of the Proposed A Shares Issuance.

– 24 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As set out in the sub-section headed ‘‘Intended use of proceeds’’ in the ‘‘Letter from the Board’’ contained in the Circular, the Spin-off Company intends to apply the proceeds (after deduction of the issue and related expenses) from the Proposed A Shares Issuance in the following manner:

Amount of
investment based
on the expected
Approximate maximum proceeds
percentage of the of approximately
Name of project or proposed usage total proceeds RMB682.9 million
(HK$ million)
Upgrading and reconstruction of
production base for medical biomaterials 39%–45% 309.7–357.3
Establishment of sales network 28%–32% 222.3–254.1
Establishment of research and development
center 26%–30% 206.5–238.2

The additional funds available to the Spin-off Group through the Proposed A share listing will enhance financial support for the Spin-off Company and accelerate its business development including production, distribution as well as research and development of its products. On this basis, we consider the intended use of proceeds from the Proposed A Shares Issuance to be reasonable. There may be changes to the proposed use of proceeds after taking into account the business development of the Spin-off Company and the prevailing market conditions, and it is subject to the listing application documents to be submitted by the Spinoff Company to the CSRC. Shareholders are reminded that there is no assurance that the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance will proceed in a timely manner or proceed at all.

(v) Comparable companies

In order to provide the Shareholders with a general reference regarding the valuation of companies with key products of similar nature as those of the Spin-off Company listed in the PRC, we have searched on Bloomberg, on best effort basis, for companies (the ‘‘Comparable Companies’’) which are listed on the A Share Stock Exchange with regenerative medical biomaterial products accounting for over 50% of the sales of the respective Comparable Companies for the year ended December 31, 2016 as set out in their annual report.

– 25 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The following table below sets out the relevant ratios of the Comparable Companies for reference purpose:

Principal activities of the
Comparable Companies Comparable Companies Stock code P/E ratio

Guanhao Biotech Co.,Ltd. Guanhao Biotech develops, 300238.SZ 84.70

Company
(Note 3)

Notes:

  1. P/E ratio of the Comparable Companies are sourced from Bloomberg as at the Latest Practicable Date.

  2. The implied P/E ratio of the Company is calculated based on (i) the market capitalisation of the Company for approximately HK$2,608.4 million as at the Latest Practicable Date; and (ii) the profits attributable to owners of the Company of approximately RMB194.9 million (equivalent to approximately HK$226.6 million at the exchange rate of HK$1.00: RMB0.86) for the year ended December 31, 2016.

  3. The implied P/E ratio of the Spin-off Company is calculated based on (i) the estimated market capitalisation of the Spin-off Company with reference to the expected gross proceeds of approximately RMB682.9 million (assuming 15% of the enlarged issued share capital of the Spin-off Company will be offered under the Proposed A Shares Issuance); and (ii) the profit attributable to owners of the Spin-off Company of approximately RMB151.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.

  4. Principal activities of the Comparable Companies are sourced from their respective company website.

As shown in the above table, the Company’s implied P/E ratio is lower than those of the Comparable Companies and the Spin-off Company. Accordingly, we consider that the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance is likely to unlock the value of the Spin-off Company and create a higher market value in the PRC stock markets.

– 26 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Shareholders should note that the calculation of the implied P/E ratio of the Spin-off Company and the comparison above is for illustrative purpose only. The actual amount of gross proceeds to be raised from the Proposed A Shares Issuance and the actual P/E ratio of the Spin-off Company will be subject to the share market conditions in the PRC at the time of the Proposed A Shares Issuance and the financial performance of the Spin-off Company before its listing application.

6. Possible effects of the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance on the Group

Following completion of the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance, the Spinoff Company will remain as non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and its financial results will continue to be consolidated into the accounts of the Group.

(i) Effect on assets, liabilities and earnings

According to the Company’s 2016 annual report, the audited consolidated equity attributable to owners of the Company was approximately RMB2,334.3 million. The net proceeds from the Proposed A Shares Issuance will increase the cash recorded in the consolidated balance sheet of the Group and total assets will increase. The Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance will not affect the liabilities of the Group.

The attributable interest of the Group in the Spin-off Group will be reduced following completion of the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance. Accordingly, the Group’s share of the future profits of the Spin-off Group would be reduced. Such reduction would be offset to the extent that the Spin-off Group’s future profitability may benefit due to the introduction of new capital. The Remaining Group, which will still hold the majority interest in the Spin-off Group, will be able to benefit from any future growth of the Spin-off Group, and the benefits to be brought about by the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance as set out in the sub-section above headed ‘‘Reasons for and benefits of the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance’’. There will be no expected gain or loss on the deemed disposal to be recognised in the consolidated income statement of the Company upon completion of the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standard 10 whereby changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing control of the subsidiary are equity transactions.

(ii) Effect on working capital and gearing of the Group

As at December 31, 2016, since there was no borrowing, the Group’s gearing ratio is nil. As set out in the section headed ‘‘The Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance’’ in the ‘‘Letter from the Board’’ contained in the Circular, the expected gross proceeds to be raised from the Proposed A Shares Issuance will be no more than approximately RMB682.9 million. In view of the fact that fresh capital will be raised for the Spin-off Group from the Proposed A Shares Issuance and the Spin-off Company will remain as a subsidiary of the company after the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance, we consider that

– 27 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

the working capital position of the Group would improve as a result of the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance, providing the Group with more financial flexibility with regard to future investment opportunities.

Shareholders are reminded that the actual effect of the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance will be subject to the final structure of the Proposed A Shares Issuance and the financial position of the Group and the Spin-off Group at the time of listing, which may be different from the above.

(iii) Remaining businesses of the Group

As set out in the section headed ‘‘Information of the Remaining Group’’ in the ‘‘Letter from the Board’’ of the Circular, after the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance, besides the Group’s interest in the Spin-off Company, the Group will continue to engage mainly in the infusion set business, comprising the research, development, manufacturing and sale of advanced infusion sets products.

As advised by the executive Directors, it is expected that the Spin-off Company will have seven directors (comprising four directors and three independent directors) appointed. Out of the four directors, one is an executive Director and one is a non-executive Director of the Company. Further details are set out in the section headed ‘‘The Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance’’ in the ‘‘Letter from the Board’’ contained in the Circular. Given that the Spin-off Company will remain as a subsidiary of the Company following completion of the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance, we consider that the board composition of the Spin-off Company is appropriate in that it reflects the interests of the Company and yet allows the Spin-off Company to maintain a management team independent of the Company. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the senior management team for daily operation of the Spin-off Group is independent from the senior management of the Remaining Group.

(iv) Dilution of interest in the Spin-off Company

Assuming the number of shares initially available under the Proposed A Shares Issuance represents not more than 15% of the total number of shares of the Spin-off Company in issue upon listing, the effective interest of the Group in the Spin-off Company will be reduced from 80% (before the Proposed A Shares Issuance) to not less than 68% immediately after completion of the Proposed A Shares Issuance.

In our opinion, such dilution, albeit not immaterial, is acceptable to the Shareholders taking into consideration the benefits which may be derived from the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance and the possible effects on the Group as discussed in the subsection headed ‘‘Reasons for and benefits of the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance’’ of this letter and in this sub-section above.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

DISCUSSION

The Group is principally engaged in the development, manufacturing and sale of regenerative medical biomaterial products and advanced infusion set products. Pursuant to the Proposed Spinoff, the Spin-off Company, which is principally engaged in the regenerative medical biomaterial business, will be spun-off and separately listed in the PRC. Under the expected structure of the Proposed A Shares Issuance, the gross proceeds to be raised from the Proposed A Shares Issuance is estimated to be no more than approximately RMB682.9 million and will be used for the Spin-off Company’s future development in various areas of regenerative medical biomaterial business and other medical device business, and allow the Spin-off Company to expand the scale of its business. Fresh capital to be raised by the Spin-off Group through the Proposed A share listing is expected to bring in new opportunities and benefits to the Spin-off Group.

After the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance, besides the Group’s interest in the Spin-off Company, the Group will continue to engage mainly in the infusion set business, comprising the research, development, manufacturing and sale of advanced infusion sets products. The Company will retain the Spin-off Company as a subsidiary following the Proposed A Shares Issuance, and accordingly will continue to retain control and indirectly benefit from its future profits and growth.

The maximum dilution of the Company’s interest in the Spin-off Group is expected to be 12%. We consider such level of dilution acceptable, taking into account the benefits which may be derived from the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance as discussed in this letter. A waiver from strict compliance with the PN15 requirements in relation to the assured entitlement under the Proposed Spin-off has been obtained by the Company.

We are of the view the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance is a strategic move for the Group to help realise the value and potential of its regenerative medical biomaterial business. The opportunity to value the Spin-off Group on a stand-alone basis may attract new investors who are interested in the regenerative medical biomaterial sector. The Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance provide an opportunity to raise funding for further business development and the separate funding platforms would provide financing flexibility for the Spin-off Group. The Proposed Spin-off is also expected to create a more defined business focus and flexibility by adopting of separate business and financing strategies for each of the Remaining Group and the Spin-off Group.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

INDEBTEDNESS STATEMENT

Apart from intra-group liabilities, the Group did not have any outstanding mortgages, charges, debentures, loan capital, debt securities, bank loans and overdrafts or other similar indebtedness, finance leases or hire purchase commitments, liabilities under acceptances or acceptance credits or any guarantees or other material contingent liabilities as at the close of business on June 30, 2017, being the latest practicable date for the purpose of this indebtedness statement.

STATEMENT OF SUFFICIENCY OF WORKING CAPITAL

Taking into account the expected financial resources available to the Group including the internally generated funds, the Directors are of the opinion that the Group has sufficient working capital for its present requirements, that is for at least the next 12 months from the date of this circular.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED SPIN-OFF AND THE PROPOSED A SHARES ISSUANCE ON THE GROUP

The Spin-off Company will continue to be a non-wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company upon the completion of the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance. Accordingly, the operating results of the Spin-off Company will continue to be consolidated into the financial statements of the Company. The following is the expected financial impact of the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance on the Group:

Earnings

The Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance will be regarded as a transaction with non-controlling interest, the carrying amount of the non-controlling interest will be adjusted to reflect the proportionate change in the non-controlling interest in the Spin-off Company. It is expected that there would be no expected gain or loss on the deemed disposal credited to the Company’s consolidated income statement as gain or loss upon the completion of the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance in accordance with HKFRS 10. The difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interest is adjusted and the fair value of the consideration received will be recorded in equity attributed to the Shareholders. In addition, as the proportion of the Company’s shareholding in the Spin-off Company will be diluted to not less than 68% immediately after the completion of the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance, it is expected that the earnings attributable to controlling shareholders of the Company contributed by the Spin-off Company will decrease while the earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests of the Company will increase.

Assets and Liabilities

The Proposed A Shares Issuance will increase the number of shares of the Spin-off Company and raise corresponding funds. The net proceeds of the Proposed A Shares Issuance will increase the cash recorded in the consolidated balance sheet of the Group and increase the total assets of the

Group correspondingly. The Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance will not affect the liabilities of the Group. However, the Proposed A Shares Issuance will raise funds and further improve the structure of the Group’s assets and liabilities.

Financial and Operational Prospects of the Group

The global economic situation remains unclear, China’s economy has slowed down while its structural adjustment is still in progress. Confronted with the complicated domestic and international economic situation, the management of the Company is cautiously optimistic about the Group’s operational prospects. The management believes that, with the rise of the Chinese economy and the steady progress of RMB internationalization, China’s capital market will play an even more important role in the world. The Proposed Spin-off plan will bring new opportunities, with which the management wishes to set up a new financing platform, so that the Spin-off Company will be able to operate more independently and professionally in the future. Going forward, the Group will continue to be a leading medical device company and stay customeroriented, so as to improve its competitiveness in the regenerative medical biomaterial business while consolidating its leadership in the infusion set business.

(a) Regenerative Medical Biomaterial Business

Upon completion of the Proposed Spin-off and the Proposed A Shares Issuance, the Spin-off Company will remain one of the Group’s major subsidiaries. In the field of regenerative medical biomaterial, the Group is currently the largest domestic artificial dura mater manufacturer. Thanks to the trust and reputation gained over the years by providing safe and effective products, the Group’s artificial dura mater products under the brand of ‘‘Tianyifu (天義福)’’ have been ranking first in the domestic market for consecutive years in terms of market share, which are widely applied in the neurosurgery field.

As the largest manufacturer of artificial dura mater in the PRC, the Group has been committed to broadening product portfolio, elevating product quality and upgrading technology for years. The clinical trials of the oral repair membrane and the second generation of artificial dura mater made notable progress during the year ended December 31, 2016, and the application of the oral repair membrane is expected to penetrate into new areas of oral and maxillofacial surgery. In addition to the oral and maxillofacial surgery, in 2016, the Group also made positive progress in new regenerative biomaterial products in different areas, such as ophthalmology, oral surgery and orthopedic surgery. The Group expects to start the clinical trials for the development of certain new products in 2017. With the advanced technologies in regenerative medical biomaterial area, the Group will accelerate the research and development of new products and expand the new product market while continuously maintaining the traditional sale channels.
