Notes:

  1. As disclosed in the 2019 Announcement, in August 2019, adjustments were made on these items from the following original planned usage disclosed in the Prospectus:
    1. Adjusted from "The R&D of the Group's other drug candidates to fund clinical trials".
    2. Adjusted from "The construction of the Lingang Production Base and the Wujiang Production Base"
    3. Adjusted from "The Group's investment in and acquisition of companies in the pharmaceutical sector".
  2. Any discrepancies in this table between the total amount and sums of amounts listed herein are due to rounding.
  3. The sum of proceeds includes interests of HKD36 million generated from bank savings account in which the IPO proceeds have been deposited.

REASONS FOR THE CHANGE IN USE OF PROCEEDS

The reallocation of the Unutilized Proceeds (the "Reallocation") is principally to reallocate from usage in the Group's investment in the health care and/or life science sector(s), including acquisition of companies, licensing-in and collaboration, (i) approximately RMB90 million (equivalent to approximately HKD102 million), or 3% of the total IPO Proceeds, to usage in the R&D of the Group's Core Product, JS001, and (ii) approximately RMB120 million (equivalent to approximately HKD137 million), or 4% of the total IPO Proceeds, to usage in the R&D of the Group's other drug candidates to fund clinical trials worldwide, including JS004, etc.

In order to strengthen the use efficiency of proceeds, reduce finance cost and protect the interest of investors, the Company constantly monitors and reviews the use of IPO Proceeds. Since the Listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Group has used approximately HKD1,319 million and HKD524 million from the IPO Proceeds on the R&D of the Group's Core Product, JS001 and other drug candidates, respectively. Since the Listing, the R&D of JS001 has achieved significant progress, including obtaining marketing approval in China, receiving support from the National Science and Technology Major Project, and having conducted more than 30 clinical studies covering more than ten indications in the PRC, the United States and other countries so far. In respect of other drug candidates, there are currently 11 pipeline candidates entering clinical trial phase including, among others, TAB004/JS004, the world's first anti-BTLA monoclonal antibody for injection which is approved for clinical trial and has commenced Phase I clinical trials in China and the United States. Having reviewed the Group's development and progress in the R&D of its other drug candidates and external investments since August 2019 and considered the Group's business strategy and potential investment opportunities in the near future, it is expected that the R&D of drug candidates would require more capital investment in the short run than external investment. The Board considers that the Reallocation is important to support such development plans, and would be a more effective use of the IPO Proceeds.

The Board confirms that there is no material change in the business of the Company as set out in the Prospectus. The Board considers that the changes in use of IPO Proceeds are in line with the Group's business strategy and will not adversely affect the operation and business of the Group, and are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.
