(A) The external investment in Shanghai Ruotuo

The Company intends to subscribe for part of the equity interest in Shanghai Ruotuo, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Anwita.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(B) The cooperative development or licensing agreements with Anwita

The Company intends to enter into several cooperative development or licensing agreements with Anwita.

The Board proposes for the Shareholders at the EGM to authorize the Board and its authorized persons to be fully responsible for all the matters relating to the abovementioned external investment and signing of the agreements, including but not limited to signing legal documents related to external investment, cooperative development or licensing agreements, and handling all necessary approvals or filing procedures (if needed).

Implications under the Listing Rules and the relevant PRC laws and regulations

Pursuant to the Management Policies for Related Party Transaction of the Company (the “ Related Party Transactions Management Policies ”), a person shall be regarded as a related party of the Company if he meets one of the conditions as described in Article 4 of the Related Party Transactions Management Policies, being subsequent to, or in the next twelve months of, the coming into effect of an agreement or arrangement with the Company or the related party of the Company. As the Company has entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement with Anwita in June 2019, pursuant to which the Company agreed to subscribe for 2,990,162 Series A Preferred Stock in Anwita and appointed a director to Anwita, Anwita would become a related party of the Company in the next twelve months after the Stock Purchase Agreement coming into effect. Based on the principle of prudence, the Company shall treat Anwita and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Shanghai Ruotuo, as related parties of the Company and the external investment and signing of above agreements are regarded as related party transactions.

The Directors confirm that Anwita and Shanghai Ruotuo are not connected persons of the Company and the abovementioned transactions with Anwita and Shanghai Ruotuo do not constitute connected transactions under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company will comply with the relevant rules and requirements under the Listing Rules and the Rules of Information Disclosure as appropriate.

The pricing of the external investment in Shanghai Ruotuo will be determined with reference to market comparable companies.
