REASONS FOR THE SUBSCRIPTIONS AND ISSUE OF THE WARRANTS

The Group is principally engaged in the research, development, manufacture and commercialisation of biopharmaceuticals through recombinant DNA and other technologies, focused on addressing high unmet medical needs in diseases such as diabetes, ophthalmology and dermatology via the development and commercialisation of innovative therapies.

The Directors are of the view that the Subscriptions can strengthen the financial position of the Group and provide working capital to the Group to meet any future development and obligations. The Subscriptions also represent a good opportunity to broaden the shareholders’ base and the capital base of the Company. The Company understands that the Subscribers intends to hold a long-term interest in the Company and the Subscriptions would bring in the Subscribers as strategic investors of the Company. The issue of the Warrants offers the Company an opportunity to issue new Shares at a premium to the prevailing market price of the Shares to raise further fund when the Warrant Subscription Rights are exercised. The Directors are of the view that terms of the Subscription Agreements and the Warrants are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The aggregate gross proceeds of the Subscriptions will be approximately HK$141.8 million and the aggregate net proceeds of the Subscriptions, after deduction of expenses, are estimated to be approximately HK$141.5 million, representing a net issue price of approximately HK$0.138 per Subscription Share. It is intended that all net proceeds from the Subscriptions will be used for development of future generations of the Group’s pipeline products, in-licensing new products for the PRC market, and general working capital.

9

Upon exercise in full of the Warrant Subscription Rights at the initial Warrant Exercise Price (assuming that the aggregate amount of the Warrants have been issued by the Company), the Company will receive gross proceeds of approximately HK$53.0 million and the aggregate net proceeds, after deduction of expenses, are estimated to be approximately HK$52.9 million, representing a net issue price of approximately HK$0.2063 per Warrant Share. The Company intends to use such proceeds for research and development project.
