SHANGHAI HUTCHISON PHARMACEUTICALS LIMITED
DESIGNATION OF PURCHASERS
Reference is made to the announcement of HUTCHMED (China) Limited (the "Company") dated January 1, 2025 (the "Announcement") in relation to the proposed disposal of the GP Health Sale Shares (representing 35% equity interest in SHPL) to GP Health Service Capital pursuant to the GP Health SPA and the proposed disposal of the Shanghai Pharma Sale Shares (representing 10% equity interest in SHPL) to Shanghai Pharma pursuant to the Shanghai Pharma SPA. Unless otherwise defined, capitalized terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Announcement.
As disclosed in the Announcement, on December 31, 2024, the Seller (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) entered into:
(i)the GP Health SPA with GP Health Service Capital relating to the disposal by the Seller of the GP Health Sale Shares, representing 35% equity interest in SHPL; and
(ii)the Shanghai Pharma SPA with Shanghai Pharma relating to the disposal by the Seller of the Shanghai Pharma Sale Shares, representing 10% equity interest in SHPL.
Pursuant to the GP Health SPA, subject to the prior written consent by the Seller, GP Health Service Capital has the right to designate (i) a designated party to purchase no more than 10% equity interest in SHPL from the GP Health Sale Shares (i.e. the Designated Purchaser upon designation), and (ii) a fund established by GP Health Service Capital as manager and one of the general partners to purchase the remaining GP Health Sale Shares (i.e. the GP Purchaser Fund upon designation), subject to various conditions as disclosed in the Announcement.
On February 28, 2025, pursuant to the GP Health SPA, GP Health Service Capital designated GP Zhicheng Private Equity Investment Fund Partnership (Limited Partnership)* ( ( )) (as the GP Purchaser Fund) and Shanghai GP Zhibaihe Enterprise Management Partnership (Limited Partnership)* ( ( )) (as the Designated Purchaser) to purchase 25.1247% and 9.8753% equity interest in SHPL, respectively, together representing all of the GP Health Sale Shares.
In connection with such designation, the Seller entered into:
1.THE GP PURCHASER FUND SPA
Pursuant to the GP Health SPA, the Seller and GP Purchaser Fund entered into the GP Purchaser Fund SPA in relation to the sale and purchase of the GP Purchaser Fund Sale Shares, representing 25.1247% of the equity interest in SHPL. The terms of the GP Purchaser Fund SPA are substantially the same as the terms of the GP Health SPA (save for the right to designate other purchasers as described in the Announcement).
The principal terms of the GP Purchaser Fund SPA are set out below:
(i)the Seller (as seller); and
(ii)GP Purchaser Fund (as purchaser).
To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, GP Purchaser Fund and its ultimate beneficial owners are third parties independent of the Company and its connected persons.
The Seller agreed to sell, and GP Purchaser Fund agreed to purchase, the GP Purchaser Fund Sale Shares, representing 25.1247% equity interest in SHPL.
The aggregate purchase price for the GP Purchaser Fund Sale Shares is RMB2,500,000,000 (approximately US$339.7 million). The aggregate purchase price (after deducting withholding tax) is payable in cash by GP Purchaser Fund to an escrow account on the date of Closing. Upon the obtaining of all necessary approvals from relevant government authorities after the date of Closing, the aggregate purchase price (after deducting withholding tax) paid by GP Purchaser Fund will be released for remittance to an offshore bank account designated by the Seller.
The purchase price was determined by the Group after arm's length negotiations between the Seller and GP Purchaser Fund with reference to the purchase price of the GP Health Sale Shares under the GP Health SPA and the proportion of SHPL's consolidated net profit for the year ended December 31, 2023 (in its functional currency) attributable to the GP Purchaser Fund Sale Shares multiplied by the agreed multiple of 15 times (which was determined by reference to the trading multiples of twenty comparable businesses principally engaged in the development, manufacturing and sale of pharmaceutical and healthcare products in the PRC, assumptions on SHPL's future growth prospects and financial performance and the commercial negotiations between the parties) and translated into US dollars.
(i)Interim Profit Compensation
In the event that the actual net profit of SHPL for any year during the Profit Guarantee Period of the year ended December 31, 2024 and the years ending December 31, 2025, 2026 and 2027 (the "Actual Net Profit") is lower than the guaranteed net profit for the year of RMB663.0 million, RMB696.5 million, RMB731.0 million and RMB767.5 million respectively (the "Guaranteed Net Profit"), within 30 Business Days from the date when the annual audit report of SHPL for the respective year is issued, the Seller is required to provide interim profit compensation to GP Purchaser Fund (the "GP Purchaser Fund Interim Profit Compensation") in cash, in the amount calculated as follows:
in which "A" refers to the equity interest purchased by GP Purchaser Fund pursuant to the GP Purchaser Fund SPA, "B" refers to the Guaranteed Net Profit for the year, and "C" refers to the Actual Net Profit for the year.
(ii)Cumulative Profit Compensation
In the event that the actual cumulative net profit of SHPL for the Profit Guarantee Period (the "Actual Cumulative Net Profit") is lower than the guaranteed cumulative net profit of RMB2,858 million (the "Guaranteed Cumulative Net Profit"), within 30 Business Days from the date when the annual audit report for the year ending December 31, 2027 of SHPL is issued, the Seller is required to provide cumulative profit compensation to GP Purchaser Fund (the "GP Purchaser Fund Cumulative Profit Compensation"), which may be settled in cash or in the form of equity interests in SHPL.
If the Seller settles the GP Purchaser Fund Cumulative Profit Compensation in cash, the amount will be calculated as follows:
in which "A" refers to the aggregate purchase price paid by GP Purchaser Fund (i.e. RMB2,500,000,000), "B" refers to the Guaranteed Cumulative Net Profit, "C" refers to the Actual Cumulative Net Profit and "D" refers to any GP Purchaser Fund Interim Profit Compensation already paid.
The Seller and GP Purchaser Fund will further agree in writing in respect of any settlement of GP Purchaser Fund Cumulative Profit Compensation in the form of the transfer of equity interests in SHPL (or any other forms).
If the Seller and GP Purchaser Fund agree on the settlement of the GP Purchaser Fund Cumulative Profit Compensation amount in the form of the transfer of equity interests in SHPL, the equity interest percentage to be transferred by the Seller to GP Purchaser Fund will be calculated as follows:
A x (B / C -1) x (1 - D / E)
in which "A" refers to the equity interest purchased by GP Purchaser Fund pursuant to the GP Purchaser Fund SPA, "B" refers to the Guaranteed Cumulative Net Profit, "C" refers to the Actual Cumulative Net Profit, "D" refers to any GP Purchaser Fund Interim Profit Compensation already paid and any GP Purchaser Fund Cumulative Profit Compensation already settled in cash, and "E" refers to the amount of GP Purchaser Fund Cumulative Profit Compensation to be settled in cash before deduction of any GP Purchaser Fund Interim Profit Compensation already paid. As any settlement of the GP Purchaser Fund Cumulative Profit Compensation in the form of a transfer of equity interests in SHPL is subject to agreement by the Seller, the equity interests to be transferred for any such settlement will not exceed the equity interests held by the Seller at the relevant time. The Company will comply with the applicable requirements of the Listing Rules and the AIM Rules for Companies at the relevant time with respect to any such transfer.
The Guaranteed Net Profit was determined based on an assumption of approximately 5% growth in the net profit of SHPL compared to the previous year for the years ending December 31, 2025, 2026 and 2027. The Guaranteed Cumulative Net Profit is the sum of the Guaranteed Net Profit for each of the years ended/ending December 31, 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027.
The Seller shall provide the GP Purchaser Fund Interim Profit Compensation and/or the GP Purchaser Fund Cumulative Profit Compensation to GP Purchaser Fund within 30 Business Days from the determination of the GP Purchaser Fund Interim Profit Compensation and/or the GP Purchaser Fund Cumulative Profit Compensation, except that if internal procedures including obtaining necessary shareholders' approval are required then the time required for such procedures will not count towards the 30 Business Days, but in any event the compensation shall be paid no later than 45 Business Days from the determination of the GP Purchaser Fund Interim Profit Compensation and/or the GP Purchaser Fund Cumulative Profit Compensation or such date as mutually agreed by the Seller and GP Purchaser Fund.
Any GP Purchaser Fund Interim Profit Compensation and/or GP Purchaser Fund Cumulative Profit Compensation payable by the Seller during the Profit Guarantee Period will first be offset against the Seller's portion of the undistributed profit or loss of SHPL prior to Closing. Please refer to "- Pre-Closing Profit or Loss Allocation" below for further details.
The aggregate cash-equivalent amount of the GP Purchaser Fund Interim Profit Compensation and the GP Purchaser Fund Cumulative Profit Compensation payable to GP Purchaser Fund will not exceed RMB500 million.
Operation and Management of SHPL during the Transition Period
The Seller and GP Purchaser Fund have agreed that during the Transition Period, the Seller has the right to recommend the general manager of SHPL (who is the core management personnel responsible for all production operation and management activities of SHPL) for nomination by Shanghai Pharma and appointment by the board of directors of SHPL. In addition, the board of directors of SHPL has approved the financial budget for the year ending December 31, 2025 and the principles of the financial budget for the years ending December 31, 2026 and 2027, including the targets for net profit of SHPL which are no less than the Guaranteed Net Profit.

On the date of Closing, the shareholders of SHPL will approve the distribution of retained earnings as of October 31, 2024 of SHPL in the following manner:
(i)on the date of Closing, retained earnings in the amount of RMB414 million will be declared and become the entitlement of the existing shareholders of SHPL, being the Seller and Shanghai TCM, in proportion to their respective shareholding percentage in SHPL before Closing (the "Attributed Retained Earnings"); and
(ii)on the date of Closing, the remaining undistributed retained earnings in the amount of RMB423 million will be declared and become the entitlement of the then shareholders of SHPL immediately after Closing in proportion to their respective shareholding percentage in SHPL, and will be distributed to the then shareholders of SHPL no later than September 30, 2025.

Adjustable Retained Dividends
RMB226,122,343 of the Seller's portion of the Attributed Retained Earnings and the Attributed Profit or Loss will be retained by SHPL as adjustable retained dividends (the "GP Purchaser Fund Seller's Adjustable Retained Dividends"). If the Seller is required to provide any GP Purchaser Fund Interim Profit Compensation or GP Purchaser Fund Cumulative Profit Compensation during the Profit Guarantee Period, the amount equivalent to the GP Purchaser Fund Interim Profit Compensation or GP Purchaser Fund Cumulative Profit Compensation payable will be deducted from the GP Purchaser Fund Seller's Adjustable Retained Dividends and be distributed to GP Purchaser Fund instead.
