<li>We have seen positive progress of the privatization of China TCM, which is still considered an important project on the agenda. CNPGC’s new leadership is very supportive of the deal.</li>
<li>The SAMR process has begun. There should be no problem to meet the Pre-Conditions. If the approval process takes more time, Long Stop Date would be extended.</li>
<li>Considering China Resources has decided to acquire Tasly, we think the integration of TCM business by CNPGC is expected to accelerate. We remain optimistic and this deal will get up. </li>

<li>The growth factor drug market is highly competitive. Many competing products have been on the market for many years with NRDL reimbursement coverage and also accumulated rich recognition from doctors/patients.</li>
<li>Even if Pro-101 is approved for market launch, B&amp;K may have to reduce its price largely and invest heavily in market education/promotion. B&amp;K’s commercialization capability still needs to be verified.</li>
<li>Valuation of B&amp;K would be lower than peers. It is hard for B&amp;K to receive expected valuation premium since its latest round of post investment valuation is already RMB3.3 billion.</li>
