<li>Fosun Pharma is just “a platform” and its performance mainly relies on the contributions of subsidiaries. However, such investment-driven business model has led to the current performance difficulties.</li>
<li>Although the motivation/underlying logic for Fosun Pharma to privatize Henlius are solid, we don’t know how this privatization ranks in terms of strategic significance of capital operations within Fosun's system.</li>
<li>If, for example, Fosun Pharma finds more important acquisitions/capital expenditures, the priority of Henlius’ privatization could fall. So, we think if it takes too long, there may be more uncertainties.</li>

Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical (2196.HK) - Performance Pain Points and Henlius’ Privatization Outlook

<ul>
<li>The past “infrastructure-driven demand model” in medical devices has become “an updated model”. The future reasonable demand for medical devices may fall back to a quarter of pre anti-corruption levels.</li>
<li>Top innovative pharmaceutical companies worth investing in need to meet certain conditions. Currently, there is still a gap between Chinese pharmaceutical companies and companies like Regeneron in various aspects.</li>
<li>Henlius is of great strategic significance for Fosun Pharma, which actually increases the privatization success rate. Valuation logic of Fosun Pharma should be based on PE/VC firms not traditional pharma.</li>

<li>Fosun has a clear plan for Henlius’ future development. This seems to hint at "an internal consensus" - Fosun seems to have persuaded major shareholders to vote for the privatization.</li>
<li>The privatization of Henlius will make positive contributions to Fosun Pharma's revenue/profit, but this impact is limited.  What Fosun really wants is to obtain huge investment income from another spin-off/re-listed.</li>
<li>For investors who are interested in the Share Alternative, they're advised to figure out whether the Rollover Entities/Securities is relevant to the <strong>new entity</strong>.If not, the Share Alternative is worthless.</li>

<ul>
<li>It is said that Fosun Pharma plans to privatize Henlius. There’re doubts about how to solve the debt problem/cash flow pressure of Fosun Pharma. A third party could be involved.</li>
<li>Shareholders may not be willing to accept an Offer Price that is significantly below IPO price. It’s also possible that shareholders vote against the privatization. So, there are many uncertainties.</li>
<li>Deal talks are still ongoing. It's difficult to see clearly what's happening under the table. Valuation logic of Fosun Pharma should be more like PE/VC firms not traditional pharmaceutical company.</li>
