Further pursuant to the USFL Agreement subject to the applicable PRC Hong Kong and BVI laws and regulations (including and not limited to the Listing Rules) when all lock-up restrictions on the Advaccine Shares have been lifted upon the reasonable request of Birch Elite and provided it is practicable EOTL shall use its best endeavours to procure USFL to transfer to Birch Elite or its designated entities Birch Elite’s then prevailing pro-rata entitlement to the Advaccine Shares and EOTL shall also procure USFL to repurchase the USFL Sale Shares without any payment obligation by Birch Elite or USFL. Advaccine represents an attractive investment opportunity in the biotech sector and the Company considers that the USFL Acquisition is beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Furthermore the Company also noted that the USFL Agreement includes a warranty that the independent valuation for Advaccine Shares shall be RMB125 or more per share; and – 22 –(c) TechStar is a SPAC listed on the Stock Exchange identifying high-growth targets in the “new economy” sector in the PRC for a De-SPAC Transaction including but not limited to innovative technology advanced manufacturing healthcare life sciences culture and entertainment consumer and e-commerce green energy and climate actions industries that align with the national economic trends and industrial policies. The TechStar Acquisition therefore offers potential equity upside upon any successful De-SPAC Transaction in the high-growth “new economy” sectors in the PRC. As the consideration for the TechStar Sale Shares are priced at discount to the estimated redemption price of the TechStar Shares prior to the general meeting intended to be convened and held to extend the deadline for announcing a De-SPAC Transaction within 24 months from the TechStar Listing Date whilst the Company enjoys a potential equity upside upon a successful De-SPAC Transaction that may take place the Company is also covered by downside protection with a reasonable estimated annualised yield of up to approximately 9% on the investment amount of the TechStar Sale Shares and TechStar Sale Warrants if the Company does not wish to continue to hold such investment after the redemption date.The Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors who will express their views after taking into consideration of the advice of the Independent Financial Adviser) consider that acquisition of the above assets are beneficial to the Company as they are on favourable terms and of high quality and were carefully selected from the existing investments of HCGL. The Acquisitions are advantageous to increasing the capital base and market capitalisation of the Company and shareholders can expect further high quality asset injections by HCGL on favourable terms which is conducive to the share price and market performance of the Company.– 23 –In light of the above the Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors who will express their opinion after taking into consideration the advice of the Independent Financial Adviser) consider that the Acquisitions are entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and the terms and conditions of the Acquisitions are fair and reasonable on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.INFORMATION ON USDL USDL is a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability and is principally engaged in investment holding.
