Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>We believe RemeGen has bottom fishing value because its Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) drug Telitacicept (RC18) has already been approved for sale in China.</li>
<li>Earliest data read in US clinical trial for IgA Nephropathy is already available, with SLE data read available in C3Q24 and MS in C4Q24;</li>
<li>We don’t think a leading biotech from the wealthy city of Yantai will run out of cash. We assume RemeGen will be able to mitigate its liquidity problem.</li>

<li>One direct reason for the sharp drop in stock prices is that RemeGen's performance in 23Q4 would miss expectation, thus leading to disappointing performance for the entire year of 2023.</li>
<li>Due to low competitiveness of pipelines, product sales are hard to bring sufficient cashflow.Prospects for future license-out deals are still uncertain. RemeGen may find it difficult to turn the tide.</li>
<li>Reasonable market value of Remegen should be above RMB12 billion. Investors can participate in the rebounds after stock price plunge, but we do not recommend holding for the long term.</li>
