  • 1. no Selling Shareholder shall be liable to pay any amount that is otherwise payable by such Selling Shareholder in relation to certain claim for indemnification made under the relevant sections of the Share Purchase Agreement unless and until the aggregate amount payable by such Selling Shareholder for all such claims against it exceeds 80% of such their look-through pro rata share of the Closing Cash Surplus; and

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION

The Group is able to obtain scarce medical business resources via the Acquisition. The Acquisition will also serve as a starting point for the Group to expand its medical business in the Yangtze River Delta region. Huaiyin Hospital is located in Huai'an City, Jiangsu Province in the Yangtze River Delta region and it is the only hospital with a grade in Huaiyin District. As the leading hospital in the district, it has a market share of nearly 39% of the inpatient services in the district, and has accumulated good reputation in terms of medical technology, hospital brand reputation, government recognition and other aspects. As a key hub for patients referral and a well-recognized hospital of the local population, Huaiyin Hospital differentiates itself from other medical institute in the district. Huaiyin Hospital has completed its for-profit reform two years ago, and it has clear ownership structure, good business operation and standardized management system. It is therefore an ideal acquisition target for the Group. The Group does not currently own a large-scale medical institution in the Yangtze River Delta, and the Acquisition will enable the Group to obtain a Grade IIA for-profit hospital in the region with over 1,000 operating beds and an annual outpatient and emergency visits of over 450,000. It is a key strategic step for the Group to enter the Yangtze River Delta region and will become a starting point for our future expansion of our medical service business in the region.

In addition, our development plan for Huaiyin Hospital is to build a ''Strong Specialty Focus & Small Scale Comprehensive Services'' model. Considering that Huaiyin Hospital's current surgical foundation is good and the Grade III medical institute standard of its orthopedics department, the Group can increase its inpatient space, and focus on creating a professional department with joint and spine surgery as the orthopedics department via its second phase expansion, and form the outstanding specialty features of the hospital. The Group will also introduce the medical resources of 999 Brain Hospital in order to improve the comprehensive diagnosis and treatment ofcerebrovascular diseases in Huaiyin Hospital in terms of neurology, focus on improving the comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of neurosurgery emergencies in neurosurgery, cultivate competitive capabilities for specific diseases, provide Huaiyin Hospital with new growth points and specialty competitiveness, form a differentiated development with public hospitals in the region, create a ''Strong Specialty Focus & Small Scale Comprehensive Services'' model, and further integrate it regional medical service resources, expand market share, and consolidate its regional leading competitive position.

During the ''14th Five-Year Plan'' period, the Group will focus on four specialized clusters which are brain, orthopedics, oncology and hemodialysis to carry out comprehensive transformation and upgrading. The Acquisition is a key measure taken by the Group to implement the ''14th Five-Year'' strategic plan. In the future, the Group will continue to introduce resources and improve post-investment management of Huaiyin Hospital. It will build Huaiyin Hospital's orthopedics, brain, together with other medical specialties into a reputable medical specialty brand name, and will further connect the hospital with our other in-network medical institutes to develop our medical specialty chain cluster, and gradually implement our specialized transformation strategy of the ''14th Five-Year Plan''.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider the Acquisition is made on normal commercial terms which are fair and reasonable and are of the view that the Acquisition is in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
