providing logistics, distribution and marketing services for prescription
drugs in China. As of December 31, 2022, Hutchison Sinopharm had a dedicated
team of over 40 commercial staff that focus on marketing over 900 third-party
prescription drug and other products directly to about 730 public and private
hospitals in the Shanghai region and through a network of approximately 55
distributors to cover all other provinces in China.

approximately 13% were distributors, and the revenue generated from these
distributors accounted for approximately 25% of the revenue of Hutchison
Sinopharm for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The supply of products by Hutchison Sinopharm to Sinopharm, a leading
distributor of pharmaceutical and healthcare products and a leading supply
chain service provider in China, under the Framework Sinopharm Products Supply
and Purchase Agreement, is in line with the business of Hutchison Sinopharm
and enables Hutchison Sinopharm to utilize the distribution network of

Sinopharm to secure a stable source of the relevant products.

On March 24, 2021, HBYSGH and GL Mountrose Investment Two Limited entered into
the HBYS SPA pursuant to which HBYSGH agreed to sell the entire issued share
capital of HCMGIL (which indirectly held 50% interest in Hutchison Baiyunshan)
to GL Mountrose Investment Two Limited. To facilitate the HBYS Disposal,
HBYSGH agreed pursuant to the HBYS SPA and as a condition to the completion of
the HBYS Disposal that it would procure HWEL to continue to grant the relevant
license to Hutchison Baiyunshan to use the HWL Trade Marks. In order to
satisfy the condition and for HWEL to continue to grant the license, HCMH
entered into the HBYS Brand License Royalty Agreement. The Group had taken
into consideration the amount payable under the HBYS Brand License Royalty
Agreement when the Group evaluated the commercial aspects of the HBYS
Disposal. Please refer to the section headed "Connected Transactions - B.
Non-Exempt Continuing Connected Transactions - 6. HBYS Brand License Royalty
Agreement" in the prospectus of the Company dated June 18, 2021 for further

HBYS Brand License Royalty Agreement has not been terminated according to its
terms and (ii) as agreed by HBYSGH pursuant to the HBYS SPA, to procure HWEL
to continue to grant the relevant license to Hutchison Baiyunshan.

view that the Continuing Connected Transactions have been and will be entered
into in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and on normal
commercial terms, and their terms are fair and reasonable and in the interests
of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and that the relevant Annual
Cap Amounts for the Continuing Connected Transactions are fair and reasonable
and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

resolutions of the Company approving the Continuing Connected Transactions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mr To Chi Keung, Simon, Ms Edith Shih and Dr
Dan Eldar, being directors of CK Hutchison or its related companies,
