LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

A circular containing, among other things, further details of the Acquisition and the Target Group is expected to be despatched to the Shareholders for information only as soon as practicable and within 15 business days of this announcement in accordance with the Listing Rules.

The Facility Agreement

Given that the Facility Agreement contains provisions imposing specific performance obligations on the Controlling Shareholders, including without limitation requiring the Controlling Shareholders to maintain a minimum percentage of shareholding in the Company, and breach of such obligations will constitute an event of default under the Facility Agreement, such provisions give rise to announcement obligation pursuant to Rule 13.18 of the Listing Rules.

Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should note that the Acquisition is subject to a number of Conditions Precedent which may or may not be fulfilled. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are reminded to exercise cautions when dealing in the securities of the Company.

Information of the Vendor

The Vendor is wholly-owned by ACP Fund I, which is ultimately managed by Ascendent Capital Partners I GP Limited and advised by Ascendent Capital Partners (Asia) Limited, a private equity investment management firm focused on Greater China-related investment opportunities, managing over USD2 billion in assets for global institutional investors, including sovereign wealth funds, endowments, pensions and foundations.

Information of the Company

As an oncology-focused healthcare group, the Group endeavors to make healthcare services more accessible and affordable (讓醫療更溫暖), addressing unmet demand of oncology patients in China. As of December 31, 2020, the Group (i) owned and operated seven private for-profit hospitals; (ii) managed three private not-for-profit hospitals; and (iii) provided services to 17 hospital partners for their radiotherapy centers.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION

Suzhou Yongding Hospital is a Class II general hospital with years of operating experience and notable market influence in Suzhou City. It currently has sufficient room to accommodate more than 1,000 beds, having the potential for being upgraded to a Class III hospital, and enough space for conducting multi-disciplinary oncology diagnosis and treatment businesses such as radiotherapy services. The Acquisition will bring outstanding synergy effects for the Group and Suzhou Yongding Hospital.

The Acquisition will further enhance the Group's regional advantages in the Yangtze River Delta region and strengthen its brand influence in the following four aspects:

1. Suzhou Yongding Hospital is located in Wujiang District, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, the most populous municipal district with the largest land area in Suzhou City. Seated in the core area of the Yangtze River Delta region, Wujiang District has a developed economy with strong purchasing power and experiences continuous net inflow of population, while the demands of oncology patients are far from being met due to the shortage of local oncology medical resources, especially radiotherapy resources. As such, positioning in such area is in line with the Group's expansion strategies. Since commencing its operation in 2007, Suzhou Yongding Hospital, with its high-caliber and experienced professional medical team, has established good reputation in Wujiang District and even in Suzhou City;
2. with years of operating efforts, Suzhou Canglang Hospital, an existing private for- profit general hospital of the Group, has built strong brand influence in Suzhou City, and has maintained a CAGR of over 43% in terms of revenue in the past three years. Considering that the existing premises of Suzhou Canglang Hospital are close to full capacity, which may limit its sustainable and rapid development in the future, the Group has been actively seeking for solutions for further expansion in Suzhou City. As Suzhou Yongding Hospital currently has room for more beds as well as sufficient land resources for further construction, this Acquisition could offer the Group larger room and space for its business developments in Suzhou City;

- 10 -

1. after the Completion, the Group will integrate the resources of Suzhou Canglang Hospital and Suzhou Yongding Hospital to further strengthen its oncology-related businesses, in which the Group has competitive strengths, in Suzhou City and to develop Suzhou Yongding Hospital into an oncology-focused general hospital. Besides, the facilities and medical equipment of Suzhou Yongding Hospital could support the Group's construction of an multi-disciplinary oncology diagnosis and treatment center covering various treatment methods including radiotherapy, surgery and chemotherapy, thus practically satisfying the increasing needs of oncology patients in the Yangtze River Delta region; and
2. the Acquisition of Suzhou Yongding Hospital will further expand the healthcare service network of the Group, which is of great significance and value for increasing the oncology-related healthcare service revenue of the Group and its share in the oncology healthcare service market. After the Completion, the market share of the Group in the healthcare service market in the Yangtze River Delta region will continue to grow and its market influence in the surrounding areas will further expand, which will lay a solid foundation for the Group to establish its three-tier hospital network in the Yangtze River Delta region.

After the Completion, the Group will make the following integrating efforts to optimize the existing operations of Suzhou Yongding Hospital:

1. introducing the Group's centralized and standardized management system to Suzhou Yongding Hospital to reduce its operational expenses and improve its overall operational efficiency;
2. implanting the oncology specialties of the Group into Suzhou Yongding Hospital to enrich its oncology treatment methods and increase utilization rates of beds so as to further increase its revenue and profit level; and
3. developing Suzhou Yongding Hospital's multi-disciplinary oncology diagnosis and treatment businesses covering various treatment methods including radiotherapy, surgery and chemotherapy and providing one-stop oncology treatment services to satisfy the increasing demand of oncology patients.

In view of the above, the Directors are of the view that the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement are on normal commercial terms and fair and reasonable, and the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
