      1. GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE NEW SHARES
      2. GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE H SHARES
    1. PROPOSED APPOINTMENT OF NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND SUPERVISOR
        1. NOTICE OF AGM
      1. NOTICE OF H SHAREHOLDERS' CLASS MEETING AND
      2. NOTICE OF DOMESTIC SHAREHOLDERS' CLASS MEETING
  1. INTRODUCTION
    Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 19 March 2021 in relation to the

proposed appointment of non-executive Director and Supervisor.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with detailed information regarding, among others, (i) the proposed delegation of certain power of the general meeting to the Board; (ii) General Mandate to issue new Shares; (iii) the proposed general mandate to repurchase H Shares; (iv) proposed appointment of non- executive Director and Supervisor; and (v) notices convening the AGM and the Class Meetings to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the proposed resolutions at the AGM and the Class Meetings.

  1. PROPOSED DELEGATION OF CERTAIN POWER OF THE GENERAL MEETING TO THE BOARD

In order to further clarify the authority of the Board in respect of the relevant guarantees and facilitate and improve the efficiency of the business operation of the Company and its subsidiaries, the Board proposed to seek the Shareholders' approval for delegation of the power to the Board to approve the guarantees in favor of other entities with an aggregate total value of not more than 30% of the latest audited total assets of the Company over a period of 12 months; and if the above delegation is not consistent with, collides with or conflicts with the requirements under the Hong Kong Listing Rules or other requirements of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the requirements under the Hong Kong Listing Rules or other requirements of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange should be followed. Relevant proposal will be put forward at the AGM for Shareholders' consideration and approval as an ordinary resolution.

  1. GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE NEW SHARES

The Board resolved to seek the Shareholders' approval for obtaining the Issue General Mandate, which is an unconditional general mandate to separately or concurrently allot, issue and/or deal with Domestic Shares and/or H Shares not exceeding 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the existing issued Domestic Shares and/or H Shares as at the date on which such Issue General Mandate is approved by the Shareholders. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 1,778,845,451 Domestic Shares and 1,341,810,740 H Shares in issue. Therefore, a maximum of 355,769,090 Domestic Shares and/or

- 4 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

268,362,148 H Shares, representing 20% of the number of each of the existing issued Domestic Shares and/ or H Shares, can be separately or concurrently allotted, issued and/or dealt with by the Board pursuant to the General Mandate to be granted by the Shareholders.

The Board will only exercise its authority under the Issue General Mandate in accordance with the Company Law, the Hong Kong Listing Rules and the requirements of the relevant PRC regulatory authorities. The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to grant the Issue General Mandate to the Board to issue new Shares, and the ability to do so would give the Board the flexibility to capture the right opportunity. Relevant proposal will be put forward at the AGM for Shareholders' consideration and approval as a special resolution.

The Issue General Mandate will end on the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting following the passing of the relevant resolution; (ii) the expiration of a period of 12 months from the date of passing of the relevant resolution at the AGM; or (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by a special resolution of the Shareholders at a general meeting.

IV. GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE H SHARES

The PRC Company Law (to which the Company is subject) provides that a joint stock limited company incorporated in the PRC may not repurchase its shares except under any of the following circumstances: (a) in order to reduce the registered capital of the company; (b) merger with another company holding shares in the Company; (c) the shares are used for employee stock ownership plan or equity incentives; (d) a shareholder requests the Company to purchase the shares held by him/her since he/ she objects to a resolution of the shareholders' meeting on the combination or division of the Company; (e) the shares are used for converting convertible corporate bonds issued by the listed company; or (f) when it is necessary for the listed company to preserve its value and shareholders' rights and interests. The Mandatory Provisions (which the Company has incorporated in its Articles of Association) provides that the Company may, subject to procedures of its articles of association and approval of the relevant competent authorities of the PRC, repurchase its issued shares under the following circumstances: (a) cancellation of shares in order to reduce its capital; (b) merger with another company holding shares in the Company; or (c) other circumstances permitted by the laws and regulations.

The Hong Kong Listing Rules permits shareholders of a PRC joint stock limited company to grant a general mandate to its directors to repurchase H shares of such company that are listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Such mandate is required to be given by way of a special resolution passed by shareholders at general meeting and special resolutions passed by holders of domestic shares and overseas listed foreign shares at separate class meetings.

As H Shares are traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in Hong Kong dollars and the price payable by the Company upon any repurchase of H Shares shall, therefore, be paid in Hong Kong dollars, the payment of the repurchase price is subject to the approval of SAFE or entities authorised by it or filing in accordance with the requirements of regulatory authorities. Besides, the Company shall file with the CSRC (if required), seek approval of the Ministry of Commerce of the PRC (if required) and register the changes with company registration authorities after the Company has repurchased its H Shares.

- 5 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In accordance with the requirements of Article 26 of the Articles of Association, the Company will have to notify its creditors within 10 days after the date of passing the resolution to reduce registered capital of the Company and also make an announcement in newspapers within 30 days after the passing of such resolution. A creditor shall have the right to demand the Company to settle its debts or provide a corresponding guarantee within 30 days of receiving such notice from the Company or, in the case of a creditor who has not received any notice, within 90 days of the date of the announcement.

In order to provide more flexibility to the Directors to repurchase H Shares, a special resolution will be proposed at the AGM and the Class Meetings to grant to the Board the Repurchase General Mandate.

Pursuant to the Repurchase General Mandate, the H Shares which may be repurchased shall not exceed 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of H Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the Repurchase General Mandate Resolution.

The Repurchase General Mandate will be conditional upon the special resolution for approving the granting of the Repurchase General Mandate being passed at each of the AGM and the Class Meetings. Such Repurchase General Mandate, if approved, will lapse at the earliest of:

  1. the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company following the passing of the Repurchase General Mandate Resolution at the AGM and the Class Meetings;
  2. the expiration of the 12-month period following the passing of the Repurchase General Mandate Resolution at the AGM and the Class Meetings; or
  3. the date on which the authority conferred to the Board by the Repurchase General Mandate Resolution is revoked or varied by a special resolution of Shareholders at a general meeting, or a special resolution of Shareholders at their respective class meeting.

The obtaining of the Repurchase General Mandate is in accordance with the Hong Kong Listing Rules, the Articles of Association and the applicable laws, rules and regulations of government and regulatory authorities of the PRC. The Repurchase General Mandate Resolution is set out as resolution 12 in the notice of AGM and resolution 1 in the notice of the H Shareholders' Class Meeting and the notice of the Domestic Shareholders' Class Meeting, respectively, which are appended to this circular.

An explanatory statement containing information regarding the Repurchase General Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

In accordance with the Hong Kong Listing Rules, this appendix serves as the explanatory statement to provide you with requisite information reasonably necessary to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the special resolutions to be proposed at the AGM and the Class Meetings for the granting of the Repurchase General Mandate to the Board.

SECURITIES REPURCHASE GENERAL MANDATE

Reasons for Repurchasing H Shares

The Board considered that the repurchase of the H Shares would be beneficial to and in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. It can strengthen the investors' confidence in the Company and promote a positive effect on maintaining the Company's reputation in the capital market. Such repurchases will only be made when the Board believes that such repurchases will benefit the Company and its Shareholder as a whole.

Registered Capital

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the registered capital of the Company was RMB3,120,656,191, comprising 1,341,810,740 H Shares with a nominal value of RMB1.00 each and 1,778,845,451 Domestic Shares with a nominal value of RMB1.00 each.

Exercise of the Repurchase General Mandate

Subject to the passing of the special resolution 12 as set out in the notice of AGM and the special resolution 1 as set out in the notice of H Shareholders' Class Meeting and the notice of the Domestic Shareholder's Class Meeting, respectively, the Board will be granted the Repurchase General Mandate until the earliest of:

  1. the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company following the passing of the Repurchase General Mandate Resolution at the AGM and the Class Meetings;
  2. the expiration of the 12-month period following the passing of the Repurchase General Mandate Resolution at the AGM and the Class Meetings; or
  3. the date on which the authority conferred to the Board by the Repurchase General Mandate Resolution is revoked or varied by a special resolution of Shareholders at a general meeting, or a special resolution of Shareholders at their respective class meeting.

(hereinafter referred to as the "Relevant Period").

The exercise of the Repurchase General Mandate is subject to relevant approval of and/or filings with the relevant regulatory authorities as required by the laws, rules and regulations of the PRC being obtained and/or carried out.

- 10 -

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The exercise in full of the Repurchase General Mandate (on the basis of 1,341,810,740 H Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and no H Shares will be allotted and issued or repurchased by the Company on or prior to the date of the AGM and the Class Meetings) would result in a maximum of 134,181,074 H Shares being repurchased by the Company during the Relevant Period, being the maximum of 10% of the total H Shares in issue as at the date of passing the relevant resolutions.

Funding of Repurchases

In repurchasing its H Shares, the Company intends to apply funds from the Company's internal resources (which may include surplus funds and retained profits) legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association and the applicable laws, rules and regulations of the PRC.

The Company is empowered by its Articles of Association to repurchase its H Shares. Any repurchases by the Company may only be made out of either the funds of the Company that would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the proceeds of a new issue of shares made for such purpose. Under PRC laws, H Shares so repurchased should be cancelled and the Company's registered capital should be reduced by amount equivalent to the aggregate nominal value of the H Shares so cancelled. The Company may not purchase securities on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange from time to time.

GENERAL

The Directors consider that there would not be a material adverse impact on the working capital or on the gearing position of the Company in the event that the Repurchase General Mandate is exercised in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period (as compared with the position disclosed in the latest published audited accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020). However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase General Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels of the Company. The number of H Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Board at the relevant time having regarded to the circumstances then prevailing, in the best interests of the Company.

The Directors have undertaken to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases under the Repurchase General Mandate in accordance with the Hong Kong Listing Rules, the Articles of Association and the applicable laws, rules and regulations of the PRC.

H SHARES REPURCHASED BY THE COMPANY

No repurchase of H Shares has been made by the Company within 6 months preceding the date of the circular (whether on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange or otherwise).

DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS

If as a result of a share repurchase by the Company, a substantial shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a shareholder, or a group of shareholders acting in concert, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company or further become obligated to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, China National Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. ("CNPGC") and Sinopharm Industrial Investment Co., Ltd. ("Sinopharm Investment") whose interest in the Company are notifiable under Part XV of the SFO, held directly and indirectly approximately 57.00% and 50.36% of the Company's total registered capital, respectively. In the event that the Board exercises in full the power to repurchase H Shares in accordance with the terms of the Repurchase General Mandate proposed at the AGM and the Class Meetings, the total interests of CNPGC and Sinopharm Investment in the total registered capital of the Company would be increased to approximately 59.56% and 52.62%, respectively. The Board is not aware of any consequences which will arise under the Takeovers Code and/or any similar applicable

law, as a result of any purchases to be made under the Repurchase General Mandate. Moreover, the Board will not make share repurchase on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange if the repurchase would result in less than 25% of the total registered capital of the Company in the public hands.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined in the Hong Kong Listing Rules) presently intends to sell H Shares to the Company under the Repurchase General Mandate in the event that the Repurchase General Mandate is approved by the Shareholders and the conditions (if any) to which the Repurchase General Mandate are fulfilled.

The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons (as defined in the Hong Kong Listing Rules) of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any H Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any H Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the Repurchase General Mandate is approved by its Shareholders and the conditions (if any) to which the Repurchase General Mandate are fulfilled.
