LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Reference is also made to the Company’s announcement dated 29 April 2020 in relation to the proposed appointment of an Independent Non-executive Director.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with further details on the Strategic Allotment and the proposed appointment of an Independent Non-executive Director.

II. STRATEGIC ALLOTMENT

In accordance with the STAR Market Listing Rules, the STAR Market Implementation Measures and other relevant laws, regulations and regulatory documents, certain senior management and core employees of the Group have established the Collective Management Plan to participate in the Strategic Allotment under the A Share Offering. Accordingly, the Company proposes to enter into the Strategic Allotment Agreement with the Collective Management Plan and CICC (as sponsor and a lead underwriter of the A Share Offering). Set out below are the principal terms of the Strategic Allotment.

1. Source of Shares

Shares to be issued under the Strategic Allotment to the Collective Management Plan shall be the A Shares to be issued by the Company pursuant to the A Share Offering. Each of the A Shares has nominal value of RMB1.00. Such A Shares shall be listed on the STAR Market.

2. Number of Shares and Subscription Amount

The total subscription amount for the A Shares under the Strategic Allotment shall be RMB259,110,000 (inclusive of brokerage and taxes).

The actual number of A Shares to be issued to the Collective Management Plan will be determined based on the final Issue Price of the A Shares. The total number of A Shares to be subscribed by the Collective Management Plan shall not exceed 10% of the total number of A Shares proposed to be issued under the A Share Offering. Accordingly, the maximum number of A Shares to be issued under the Strategic Allotment is 8,713,000 A Shares.

3. Issue Price, Pricing Principles and Payment Methods

The Issue Price of the A Shares to be issued to the Collective Management Plan will be the same as the issue price of the A Shares under the A Share Offering.

According to relevant PRC rules and regulations, including the STAR Market Implementation Measures, the issue price of A Shares under the A Share Offering will be determined through a combination of off-line placement to professional institutional investors and offering by way of on-line subscription by public investors based on market value, or by other pricing methods recognized by the CSRC and the SSE.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Pursuant to the STAR Market Implementation Measures, the issue price of A Shares under the A Share Offering shall be determined through price inquiry with professional institutional investors (such as securities firms, fund management companies, trust companies, finance companies, insurance companies, qualified foreign institutional investors and private fund managers). The Company and the lead underwriter(s) may then determine the issue price of A Shares through the initial price inquiry or through cumulative bidding inquiry after an issue price range has been determined from the initial price inquiry. The STAR Market Implementation Measures also prohibits the Collective Management Plan, as a strategic investor, to participate in the price inquiry process.

The issue price of A Shares under the A Share Offering will be determined through the above price inquiry mechanism. Based on the PRC Company Law, the issue price of A Shares under the A Share Offering shall be not lower than the nominal value of the Shares of the Company, i.e. RMB1.00 per Share. There are no other legal or regulatory requirements stipulating the price floor in the A Share Offering. The Company does not intend to issue the A Shares at a price lower than the latest audited net asset value per share prior to the A Share Offering. Based on the audited consolidated net asset value of the Company as at 31 December 2019 and the total number of issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date, the audited net asset value per Share was RMB3.81 as of 31 December 2019.

The Collective Management Plan shall, at the request of CICC, which is the lead underwriter, transfer the subscription funds to the account designated by the lead underwriter in one go, which will in turn be transferred to the special proceeds account of the Company together with funds raised from the A Share Offering after deduction of sponsor and underwriting fees and other expenses.

4. Lock-up Period

The A Shares subscribed by the Collective Management Plan are subject to a lock-up period of 12 months from the date of completion of the A Share Offering and listing on the STAR Market.

LETTER FROM RAINBOW CAPITAL

27 May 2020

The following is the full text of a letter of advice from Rainbow Capital, the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Strategic Allotment, which has been prepared for the purpose of incorporation in this circular.

Rainbow Capital (HK) Limited

To the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders

Shanghai Junshi Biosciences Co., Ltd. Level 13, Building 2 Nos. 36 and 58, Hai Qu Road China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone The PRC

Dear Sir or Madam,

CONNECTED TRANSACTION STRATEGIC ALLOTMENT TO COLLECTIVE MANAGEMENT PLAN

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our appointment as the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Strategic Allotment, details of which are set out in the “Letter from the Board” (the “ Letter from the Board ”) contained in the circular issued by the Company to the Shareholders dated 27 May 2020 (the “ Circular ”), of which this letter forms part. Unless the context otherwise requires, capitalised terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Circular.

The Company has applied for an initial public offering and listing of A Shares on the STAR Market. Such application has been considered and approved by the STAR Market Stock Listing Committee. In accordance with the STAR Market Listing Rules, the STAR Market Implementation Measures and other relevant laws, regulations and regulatory documents, certain senior management and core employees of the Group have established the Collective Management Plan to participate in the Strategic Allotment under the A Share Offering. A total of 13 Participants (including four executive Directors) shall take part in the Strategic Allotment with a total subscription amount for A Shares of RMB259,110,000 (inclusive of brokerage and taxes). The total number of A Shares to be subscribed by the Collective Management Plan shall not exceed 8,713,000 A Shares, being 10% of the total number of A Shares proposed to be issued under the A Share Offering.

– 19 –

LETTER FROM RAINBOW CAPITAL

As the Participants of the Collective Management Plan include four executive Directors, the Collective Management Plan is a connected person of the Company. Accordingly, the Strategic Allotment constitutes a connected transaction for the Company, which is subject to the reporting, announcement and the independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. The Participants who are Shareholders and their respective associates shall abstain from voting on the relevant ordinary resolution to approve the Strategic Allotment at the EGM.

The Independent Board Committee, comprising all the five independent non-executive Directors, namely Dr. Chen Lieping, Dr. He Jia, Mr. Chen Xinjun, Mr. Qian Zhi and Dr. Roy Steven Herbst, has been formed to advise the Independent Shareholders on whether (i) the Strategic Allotment is conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group; and (ii) the terms of the Strategic Allotment are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and advise the Independent Shareholders as to voting. We, Rainbow Capital, have been appointed as the independent financial adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in this regard.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, we did not have any relationships or interests with the Group that could reasonably be regarded as relevant to our independence. In the last two years, there was no engagement between the Group and us. Apart from normal professional fees paid or payable to us in connection with this appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser, no arrangements exist whereby we had received any fees or benefits from the Group. Accordingly, we are qualified to give independent advice in respect of the Issuance.

BASIS OF OUR OPINION

In formulating our opinion and advice, we have relied on (i) the information and facts contained or referred to in the Circular; (ii) the information supplied by the Group and its advisers; (iii) the opinions expressed by and the representations of the Directors and the management of the Group; and (iv) our review of the relevant public information. We have assumed that all the information provided and representations and opinions expressed to us or contained or referred to in the Circular were true, accurate and complete in all respects as at the date thereof and may be relied upon. We have also assumed that all statements contained and representations made or referred to in the Circular were true at the time they were made and continue to be true as at the Latest Practicable Date and all such statements of belief, opinions and intentions of the Directors and the management of the Group and those as set out or referred to in the Circular were reasonably made after due and careful enquiry. We have no reason to doubt the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information and representations provided to us by the Directors and the management of the Group. We have also sought and received confirmation from the Directors that no material facts have been withheld or omitted from the information provided and referred to in the Circular and that all information or representations provided to us by the Directors and the management of the Group were true, accurate, complete and not misleading in all respects at the time they were made and continued to be so until the date of the Circular.

– 20 –

LETTER FROM RAINBOW CAPITAL

We consider that we have reviewed sufficient information currently available to reach an informed view and to justify our reliance on the accuracy of the information contained in the Circular so as to provide a reasonable basis for our recommendation. We have not, however, carried out any independent verification of the information provided, representations made or opinion expressed by the Directors and the management of the Group, nor have we conducted any form of in-depth investigation into the business, affairs, operations, financial position or future prospects of the Company or its substantial shareholders, subsidiaries or associates.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinion and recommendation, we have taken into account the following principal factors and reasons:

1. Business of the Group and the background to the Strategic Allotment

(i) Business of the Group

Established in December 2012 and listed on the Stock Exchange in December 2018, the Group is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the discovery and development of innovative drugs and their clinical research and commercialisation on a global scale with the vision to provide patients with treatment options that work better and cost less. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group had a product pipeline comprising 21 drug candidates covering different research and development (“ R&D ”) stages, including 13 original innovative drugs independently developed by the Group and 8 drugs jointly developed with its partners. Product types of the Group include monoclonal antibodies, fusion proteins, antibody-drug conjugates and small molecule drugs. The Group strives to expand its product pipeline through development of both macromolecular and small molecule drugs.

Currently, the Group has two monoclonal antibody production bases located in the Wujiang Economic and Technological Development Zone in Suzhou (the “ Wujiang Production Base ”) and the Lingang Industrial Park in Shanghai Free-Trade Zone (the “ Lingang Production Base ”). The Wujiang Production Base has a fermentation capacity of 3,000L and is currently in the commercial production of the Group’s products and the production of clinical trial drugs, whereas the Lingang Production Base obtained the drug production license in November 2019 and started trial production at the end of 2019 with a fermentation capacity of 30,000L. The Group plans to further increase the fermentation capacity of macromolecular drugs and explore new production processes to further reduce production costs.

In February 2019, the Group commercialised its first product, Toripalimab. As a result, revenue of the Group from continuing operations increased significantly from approximately RMB934,000 for the year ended 31 December 2018 (“ FY2018 ”) to approximately RMB775.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2019 (“ FY2019 ”). However, the increase in loss attributable to the Shareholders from continuing operations from approximately RMB716.5 million in FY2018 to approximately RMB743.9 million in FY2019 was primarily attributable

– 21 –

LETTER FROM RAINBOW CAPITAL

to the increase in R&D expenses and administrative expenses due to the increase in the number of R&D projects and business expansion, which was partially offset by the booming sales of Toripalimab. The Group will continue to improve the establishment of marketing and commercialisation teams.

As disclosed in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2019 (the “ 2019 Annual Report ”), the Group is committed to becoming an innovative biopharmaceutical company with global competitiveness by integrating R&D, production and commercialisation, and will continue to (a) focus on the advancement and commercialisation of its existing drug candidates; (b) expand its product pipeline; and (c) scale up its macromolecules fermentation capacity to lower its production costs (collectively, the “ Development Strategies ”).

(ii) Background to the Strategic Allotment

The Company has applied for an initial public offering of not more than 87,130,000 A Shares and listing of the A Shares on the STAR Market. Such application was accepted by the SSE in September 2019 following the approval of the Shareholders in June 2019. The application for the A Share Offering has been considered and approved by the STAR Market Stock Listing Committee. The China Securities Regulatory Commission has approved the Company’s application for the registration of the issue of A Shares. The Domestic Shares were traded on the National Equities Exchange and Quotations (the “ NEEQ ”) prior to delisting from the NEEQ from 8 May 2020 onwards.

As disclosed in the supplemental circular of the Company dated 27 May 2019 (the “ Supplemental Circular ”), the proceeds from the A Share Offering shall be used for (a) the R&D of innovative drugs; (b) the construction of the Lingang Production Base; and (c) repayment of bank loans and replenishment of working capital. We consider that the use of the proceeds from the A Share Offering is in line with the Group’s Development Strategies.

In accordance with the STAR Market Listing Rules, the STAR Market Implementation Measures and other relevant laws, regulations and regulatory documents, certain senior management and core employees of the Group have established the Collective Management Plan to participate in the Strategic Allotment under the A Share Offering in order to subscribe for no more than 10% of the A Shares proposed to be issued under the A Share Offering.

2. Principal terms of the Strategic Allotment

The Company proposes to enter into the Strategic Allotment Agreement with the Collective Management Plan and CICC (as sponsor and a lead underwriter of the A Share Offering). Details of the principal terms of the Strategic Allotment are set out in the section headed “II. Strategic Allotment” in the Letter from the Board, which are summarised below:

Participants : Senior management and core employees of the Group. Source of funding : Self-owned funds of the Participants.

– 22 –

LETTER FROM RAINBOW CAPITAL

  • Source of Shares : The Shares to be issued under the Strategic Allotment to the Collective Management Plan shall be the A Shares to be issued by the Company under the A Share Offering.

  • Subscription amount : RMB259,110,000 (inclusive of brokerage and taxes). Number of Shares : The actual number of A Shares to be issued to the Collective Management Plan shall be determined based on the final Issue Price of the A Shares.

The total number of A Shares to be subscribed by the Collective Management Plan shall not exceed 8,713,000, being 10% of the total number of A Shares proposed to be issued under the A Share Offering.

  • Issue Price : Same as the issue price of the A Shares under the A Share Offering.

  • Pricing methodology : According to relevant PRC rules and regulations, including the STAR Market Implementation Measures, the issue price of A Shares under the A Share Offering will be determined through a combination of off-line placement to professional institutional investors and offering by way of on-line subscription by public investors based on market value, or by other pricing methods recognised by the CSRC and the SSE.

Pursuant to the STAR Market Implementation Measures, the issue price of A Shares under the A Share Offering shall be determined through price inquiry with professional institutional investors (such as securities firms, fund management companies, trust companies, finance companies, insurance companies, qualified foreign institutional investors and private fund managers). The Company and the lead underwriter(s) may then determine the issue price of A Shares through the initial price inquiry or through cumulative bidding inquiry after an issue price range has been determined from the initial price inquiry. The STAR Market Implementation Measures also prohibits the Collective Management Plan, as a strategic investor, to participate in the price inquiry process.

– 23 –

LETTER FROM RAINBOW CAPITAL

According to the PRC Company Law, the issue price of A Shares under the A Share Offering shall be not lower than the nominal value of the Shares, i.e. RMB1.00 per Share. There are no other legal or regulatory requirements stipulating the price floor in the A Share Offering. As set out in the Letter from the Board, the Company does not intend to issue the A Shares at a price lower than the latest audited net asset value per Share prior to the A Share Offering. Based on the audited consolidated net asset value of the Company as at 31 December 2019 and the total number of issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date, the net asset value per Share was approximately RMB3.81.

  • Lock-up period (the : 12 months from the date of completion of the A Share “ Lock-up Period ”) Offering and listing on the STAR Market.

  • Duration of the : Five years (extendable by the Administrator). Collective Management Plan

  • Administration of the : The Trustee shall hold the assets of the Collective Collective Management Plan in accordance with the terms of the Management Plan Collective Management Plan, the trust agreement between the Trustee and the Administrator and relevant rules and regulations of the PRC, whereas the Administrator shall administer and control the Collective Management Plan, including the voting rights of all A Shares, independent operation, investment and distribution decisions in respect of the Collective Management Plan, without any requirement of seeking direction or consent from the Participants.

3. Reasons for and benefits of the Strategic Allotment

As set out in the Supplemental Circular, the A Share Offering allows the Company to gain access to a more established platform in the PRC capital market and further enhance its corporate image, future prospects and corporate governance, given that the SSE (i) is more recognised with a wider investor base; (ii) is a more regulated market with stringent requirements on disclosure, corporate governance and internal controls; and (iii) has higher trading liquidity with higher valuation which is expected to strengthen the capital structure of the Company, as compared to the NEEQ. As such, the Directors consider that the A Share Offering is beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. As explained in the section headed “1. Business of the Group and the background to the Strategic Allotment – (ii) Background to the Strategic Allotment” above, we also consider that the use of the proceeds from the A Share Offering is in line with the Group’s Development Strategies.

– 24 –

LETTER FROM RAINBOW CAPITAL

As set out in the section headed “1. Business of the Group and the background to the Strategic Allotment – (i) Business of the Group” above, with the support from the Group’s management team as a whole, the Group entered into the commercialisation stage in February 2019. The Directors believe that the future success and continual development of the Group are closely linked to the continual commitment and effort of its management team. As mentioned in the Letter from the Board, the Strategic Allotment serves to retain, motivate and incentivise the Group’s core employees, and to align their interests with the Shareholders’ interests through ownership of Shares. As such, the Directors believe that the Collective Management Plan would be beneficial in retaining the Participants, and motivating them in improving the Group’s performance.

We have reviewed the background and work experience of the Participants and noted that their expertise and experience are relevant to the Group’s operations, details of which are set out in the section headed “4. Information on the Participants” below. We have also discussed with the management of the Group and understand that replacing executive officers or key employees in the biopharmaceutical industry may be difficult and may take a prolonged period of time given the limited number of individuals in the industry with the breadth of expertise and experience required to successfully develop, gain regulatory approval of, manufacture and commercialise drug products. Maintaining a stable and experienced management team is therefore critical to the development and expansion of biopharmaceutical companies. As advised by the management of the Group, the establishment of the Collective Management Plan for the Strategic Allotment was also in response to the regulatory enquires over the Group’s management stability during the vetting procedures of the A Share Offering. Taking into account that the Participants’ entitlement to the benefits of the Collective Management Plan is subject to the Lock-up Period, we consider that this feature is designed to motivate the Participants’ continuing commitment and contribution towards the development of the Group with their expertise and experience and ensure stability of the Group’s operations, promoting the growth in revenue and profitability of the Group. The retention of the Participants through the Strategic Allotment can therefore minimise any potential disruption to the existing operations of the Group resulting from the lack of continuity of leadership.

On the above basis, we consider that the Strategic Allotment is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

4. Information on the Participants

According to the STAR Market Implementation Measures, a listing applicant is allowed to establish asset management plans for senior management and core employees to participate in the strategic allotment. As such, the Participants of the Collective Management Plan comprise the senior management and core employees of the Group. There is a total of 13 Participants who would like to take part in the Strategic Allotment, of which four are executive Directors and therefore connected persons of the Company (the “ Connected Participants ”) and the remaining nine Participants are key employees involving in different functions which are essential to the Group’s operations and future development.

– 25 –

LETTER FROM RAINBOW CAPITAL

The Group is a vertically integrated biopharmaceutical company, spanning from R&D, clinical research and quality control to production and commercialisation. As advised by the Directors, in selecting the Participants, they have considered all the key functions of the Group, comprising R&D, manufacturing, quality control, management, finance, administration and marketing, which are indispensable to the Group’s operations and future development. In determining the identities of the Participants and their respective contribution amounts in the Collective Management Plan, the Directors have taken into account various factors including but not limited to (i) the importance of the roles and responsibilities of the Participants; (ii) their past performance and contribution; (iii) their work experience and educational background; and (iv) their expected contribution to the Group’s future development. The Participants selected serve as the core management, technical and business backbone of the Group, supervising and leading their respective functions of the Group.

In assessing the basis of selection of the Participants, we have reviewed the background and experience of the Participants, including their positions and responsibilities in the Group, past experience and educational background, as disclosed in the 2019 Annual Report or provided by the Company. The table below summarises the information of the Participants:

(i) Issue Price and pricing methodology

The Issue Price shall be the same as the issue price of the A Shares under the A Share Offering. According to the STAR Market Implementation Measures, the issue price of A Shares under the A Share Offering shall be determined through a combination of off-line placement to professional institutional investors and offering by way of on-line subscription by public investors based on market value. In the process, the issue price shall be determined through initial price inquiry or cumulative bidding inquiry with a huge number of professional institutional investors (such as securities firms, fund management companies, trust companies, finance companies, insurance companies, qualified foreign institutional investors and private fund managers). On this basis, the Company considers that the determination of the Issue Price is not at the sole discretion of the Directors (including the Connected Participants).

Taking into account that (a) the Issue Price shall be the same as the issue price under the A Share Offering which will also be available to other independent investors; (b) the pricing methodology under the A Share Offering (including the Strategic Allotment) is consistent with

– 34 –

LETTER FROM RAINBOW CAPITAL

those of the Strategic Allotment Comparables; (c) the Issue Price is expected to be not lower than the latest audited net asset value per Share prior to the A Share Offering; and (d) the Directors cannot solely determine the Issue Price on their own, we consider the pricing methodology in determining the Issue Price to be fair and reasonable.

(ii) Composition of participants and size of allotment to the Connected Participants

As mentioned above, the Participants of the Collective Management Plan comprise the senior management and core employees of the Group in accordance with the STAR Market Implementation Measures. There is a total of 13 Participants, covering all key functions of the Group including R&D, manufacturing, quality control, management, finance, administration and marketing, of which four are executive Directors (i.e. the Connected Participants) and the remaining nine Participants are key employees of the Group. The total number of A Shares to be subscribed by the Connected Participants through the Collective Management Plan represents approximately 29.96% of the maximum number of A Shares to be issued under the Strategic Allotment.

As for the cases of CRSC, Haohai and Fudan, there are 101 CRSC Connected Participants, six Haohai Connected Participants and six Fudan Connected Participants, who have subscribed or shall subscribe approximately 18.87%, 19.42% and 31.67% of the total number of A shares issued or to be issued under the strategic allotment pursuant to the A share offering, respectively. The number of Connected Participants (i.e. four) and the percentage of interests to be subscribed by the Connected Participants in the Collective Management Plan (i.e. 29.96%) are lower than, and within the range of, those of the Strategic Allotment Comparables, respectively.

As disclosed in the Letter from the Board, all voting rights of the A Shares, independent operation, investment and distribution decisions in respect of the Collective Management Plan are administered and controlled by the Administrator without seeking any direction or consent from the Participants (including the Connected Participants) whereas the assets of the Collective Management Plan are held by the Trustee. To the Directors’ best knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquires, each of the Administrator and the Trustee is a third party independent of the Connected Participants, the Company and its connected persons. As such, we consider that the Collective Management Plan is beyond the influence of the Participants (including the Connected Participants).

Taking into account that (a) the Participants comprise the senior management and key employees in all major functions of the Group which are essential to the Group’s operations and future development; (b) the STAR Market Implementation Measures have no restriction on the number and composition of the Participants; (c) the pricing methodology in determining the Issue Price is fair and reasonable as explained in the paragraph headed “(i) Issue Price and pricing methodology” above; (d) the number of Connected Participants and the percentage of interests to be subscribed by the Connected Participants in the Collective Management Plan are lower than, and within the range of, those of the Strategic Allotment Comparables, respectively; and (e) the Connected Participants have no influence on the Collective

– 35 –

LETTER FROM RAINBOW CAPITAL

Management Plan, we consider that the composition of the Participants is sufficiently diversified across all the key functions of the Group without inclining to any specific group of management (particularly, the Directors or the substantial Shareholders) and the size of allotment to the Connected Participants is acceptable.

(iii) Lock-up Period

Given that a lock-up period of 12 months from the date of completion of an A share offering on the STAR Market for the shares under an asset management plan for the issuer’s senior management and core employees pursuant to such A share offering is stipulated in the STAR Market Implementation Measures, as in the case of the Strategic Allotment Comparables, we consider the Lock-up Period to be fair and reasonable.

(iv) Duration of the Collective Management Plan

The five-year duration of the Collection Management Plan is with the range of those of the Strategic Allotment Comparables which we consider fair and reasonable.

(v) Dilution effect of H Shares

Set out below is the shareholding structure of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date and immediately after completion of the A Share Offering, assuming that 87,130,000 A Shares are approved to be issued under the A Share Offering:

As shown in the table above, immediately after completion of the A Share Offering, the shareholding of H Shares is expected to be diluted from approximately 23.31% to 20.97%, representing a decrease of approximately 10.0%, which is in line with that of Haohai and compares favorably to those of CRSC and Fudan.

Taking into account (a) the benefits brought by the A Share Offering as set out in the section headed “3. Reasons for and benefits of the Strategic Allotment” above; and (b) that the Company does not intend to issue the A Shares at a price lower than the latest audited net asset value per Share prior to the A Share Offering, and in such circumstance, the A Share Offering will not result in a dilution in net asset value per Share, we consider the dilution effect of the A Share Offering to be acceptable.
