ANNOUNCEMENT

IN RELATION TO WITHDRAWAL OF A RESOLUTION AT THE AGM

References are made to the circular (the “ Circular ”) and the notice (the “ Notice ”) of the annual general meeting for the year 2023 (the “ AGM ”), both dated 24 May 2024, of Sinopharm Group Co. Ltd. (the “ Company ”) and the proxy form for the AGM (the “ Proxy Form ”), in relation to, among other things, the ordinary resolution numbered 7 regarding the proposal on the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers and PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian LLP (collectively, “ PwC ”) as the international auditor and the domestic auditor of the Company (the “ Resolution ”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalised terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Circular.

Since the relevant matters of recent media rumors in relation to the Company’s auditors require further verification, based on the principle of prudence, the Board has decided to withdraw the Resolution from the AGM. The Board will consider and propose for the Shareholders’ consideration of an appropriate firm to be appointed as the domestic and international auditors of the Company for the year 2024 as soon as practicable. The Company will issue announcement(s) and circular(s) in due course and convene an extraordinary general meeting to consider the relevant proposal. PwC has confirmed to the Company that there are no matters that need to be brought to the attention of the Shareholders of the Company. The Company has confirmed that there is no disagreement or unresolved matters between the Company and PwC and there are no other matters that need to be brought to the attention of the Shareholders of the Company.

* The Company is registered as a non-Hong Kong company under the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance under its Chinese name and the English name “Sinopharm Group Co. Ltd.”.

Save for the withdrawal of the Resolution, all other information and contents as set out in the Circular, the Notice and the Proxy Form remain unchanged. The Proxy Form lodged by the Shareholders will remain valid except that no poll will be conducted or counted for the Resolution.
