<li>Although RemeGen’s 23Q1-Q3 sales was better-than-expected, the Company is difficult to achieve management's performance guidance for 2023. Since RemeGen’s commercialization logic has “undeniable flaws”, net loss would be further widened.</li>
<li>Cash balance of RemeGen was just RMB600 million by 23Q3, which is not enough to cover its high R&amp;D/SG&amp;A expenses. If RemeGen cannot secure sufficient financing timely, risks are significant.</li>
