The securities mentioned herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the “ U.S. Securities Act ”) or with any securities regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States. The securities may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws.

This announcement is for information purposes only and does not constitute an invitation or offer by any person to acquire, purchase or subscribe for securities. This announcement is not a prospectus. Potential investors should read the prospectus dated October 31, 2019 (the “ Prospectus ”) issued by SinoMab BioScience Limited (the “ Company ”) for detailed information about the Global Offering described below before deciding whether or not to invest in the Shares thereby being offered. Any investment decision in relation to the Offer Shares should be taken solely in reliance on the information provided in the Prospectus.
Unless otherwise defined in this announcement, capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Prospectus.
In connection with the Global Offering, China International Capital Corporation Hong Kong Securities Limited as stabilizing manager (the “ Stabilizing Manager ”), its affiliates or any person acting for it, on behalf of the Underwriters, may effect transactions with a view to stabilizing or supporting the market price of the Shares at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail for a limited period after Listing Date. However, there is no obligation on the Stabilizing Manager, its affiliates or any person acting for it, to conduct any such stabilizing action, which, if commenced, will be done at the sole and absolute discretion of the Stabilizing Manager, its affiliates or any person acting for it, and may be discontinued at any time. Any such stabilizing activity is required to be brought to an end on the 30th day after the last day for the lodging of applications under the Hong Kong Public Offering. Such stabilization action, if taken, may be effected in all jurisdictions where it is permissible to do so, in each case in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulatory requirements, including the Securities and Futures (Price Stabilizing) Rules (Cap. 571W of the Laws of Hong Kong), as amended, made under the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong).
Potential investors should be aware that stabilizing action cannot be taken to support the price of the Shares for longer than the stabilization period which begins on the Listing Date and is expected to expire on the 30th day after the last day for the lodging of applications (i.e. Thursday, December 5, 2019) under the Hong Kong Public Offering. After this date, no further stabilizing action may be taken, demand for the Shares, and therefore the price of the Shares, could fall.

The Global Offering comprises the Hong Kong Public Offering of initially 18,213,000 Shares (subject to adjustment) representing approximately 10% of the total number of Offer Shares initially available under the Global Offering, and the International Offering of initially 163,916,400 Shares (subject to adjustment and the Over-allotment Option) representing approximately 90% of the total number of Offer Shares initially available under the Global Offering. The allocation of the Offer Shares between the Hong Kong Public Offering and the International Offering will be subject to reallocation as described in the section headed “Structure of the Global Offering” in the Prospectus. In particular, the Joint Global Coordinators may reallocate Offer Shares from the International Offering to the Hong Kong Public Offering to satisfy valid applications under the Hong Kong Public Offering. In accordance with Guidance Letter HKEX-GL91-18 issued by the Stock Exchange, if such reallocation is done other than pursuant to Practice Note 18 of the Listing Rules, the maximum total number of Offer Shares under the Hong Kong Public Offering following such reallocation shall be not more than 36,426,000 Offer Shares, representing double of the initial allocation to the Hong Kong Public Offering, and the Offer Price shall be fixed at HK$7.60 per Offer Share (being the low end of the indicative Offer Price range).
Under the International Underwriting Agreement, the Company is expected to grant to the International Underwriters, exercisable by the Joint Global Coordinators (for themselves and on behalf of the International Underwriters), the Over-allotment Option, exercisable within 30 days from the last day for lodging applications under the Hong Kong Public Offering (the last day for exercise of the Over-allotment Option being Thursday, December 5, 2019) to require the Company to issue up to 27,319,200 additional Offer Shares, representing approximately 15% of the Offer Shares initially available under the Global Offering, at the Offer Price, to cover over-allocations in the International Offering, if any.
Subject to the granting of the approval for listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares on the Stock Exchange and compliance with the stock admission requirements of HKSCC, the Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the date of commencement of dealings in the Shares on the Stock Exchange or such other date as may be determined by HKSCC. Settlement of transactions between participants of the Stock Exchange is required to take place in CCASS on the second business day after any trading day. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time. All necessary arrangements have been made to enable the Shares to be admitted into CCASS.
The Offer Price will not be more than HK$9.60 per Offer Share and is currently expected to be not less than HK$7.60 per Offer Share, unless otherwise announced. Applicants for the Hong Kong Offer Shares are required to pay, on application, the maximum Offer Price of HK$9.60 per Offer Share together with brokerage fee of 1%, SFC transaction levy of 0.0027% and Stock Exchange trading fee of 0.005%, subject to refund if the Offer Price as finally determined is less than HK$9.60 per Offer Share.
