PROPOSED RIGHTS ISSUE ON THE BASIS OF

ONE RIGHTS SHARE

FOR EVERY TWO SHARES HELD ON THE RECORD DATE

Underwriter to the Rights Issue

Terms used in this cover page have the same meanings as defined in this prospectus.

The Rights Issue is conditional upon the fulfilment of the conditions set out under the paragraph headed ''Conditions of the Rights Issue'' in the section headed ''Letter from the Board'' on pages 20 to 21 of this prospectus.

The Underwriting Agreement contains provisions granting the Underwriter, by notice in writing, any time prior to the Latest Time for Termination, the right to terminate the Underwriting Agreement on the occurrence of certain events, including but not limited to force majeure, as more particularly described in the section headed ''Termination of the Underwriting Agreement'' in this prospectus. The Rights Issue is therefore subject to the Underwriter not terminating the Underwriting Agreement. Accordingly, the Rights Issue may or may not proceed.

The Shares have been dealt with on an ex-rights basis from Wednesday, 29 January 2020. Dealings in the Rights Shares in the nil- paid form are expected to take place from 9:00 a.m. Tuesday, 11 February 2020 to 4:10 p.m. Tuesday, 18 February 2020 (both days inclusive). If the conditions of the Rights Issue are not fulfilled or the Underwriting Agreement is terminated by the Underwriter at or before 4:00 p.m. on Monday, 24 February 2020 or such later time and/or date as may be agreed between the Company and the Underwriter, the Rights Issue will not proceed. Any Shareholders or other persons dealing or contemplating dealing in the Shares up to the date on which all the conditions of the Rights Issue are fulfilled (and the date on which the Underwriter's right of termination of the Underwriting Agreement ceases), and any dealings in the nil-paid Rights Shares from Tuesday, 11 February 2020 to Tuesday, 18 February 2020 (both days inclusive), bear the risk that the Rights Issue may not become unconditional or may not proceed. Any Shareholders or other persons dealing or contemplating dealing in the Shares or nil-paid Rights Shares are recommended to consult their own professional advisers.

The latest time for acceptance of and payment for Rights Shares is 4:00 p.m. on Friday, 21 February 2020. The procedure for acceptance of and payment for or transfer of the Rights Shares are set out on pages 18 and 19 of this prospectus.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Qualifying Shareholders

The Company will send the Prospectus Documents to the Qualifying Shareholders and this prospectus, for information only, to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders on the Prospectus Posting Date. To qualify for the Rights Issue, a Shareholder must:

  1. be registered as a member of the Company at the close of business on the Record Date; and
  2. not be a Non-Qualifying Shareholder.

Shareholders whose Shares are held by nominee companies should note that the Board will regard a nominee company (or which are held in CCASS) as a single Shareholder according to the register of members of the Company. Shareholders with their Shares held by nominee companies are advised to consider whether they would like to arrange for registration of the relevant Shares in the name of the beneficial owner(s) prior to the Record Date. Shareholders and investors should consult their professional advisers if they are in any doubt as to their status.

Rights of Overseas Shareholders

The Prospectus Documents have not been registered or filed under the applicable securities legislation of any jurisdiction other than Hong Kong. Overseas Shareholders may not be eligible to take part in the Rights Issue.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there was no Overseas Shareholder as shown on the register of members of the Company. Accordingly, there was no Non-Qualifying Shareholder for the purpose of the Rights Issue.

Overseas Shareholders should note that they may or may not be entitled to the Rights Issue subject to the results of the enquiries made by the Board pursuant to Rule 13.36(2)(a) of the Listing Rules. The Company reserves the right to treat as invalid any acceptance of or applications for Rights Shares where it believes that such acceptance or application would violate the applicable securities or other laws or regulations of any territory or jurisdiction. Accordingly, Overseas Shareholders should exercise caution and consult their professional advisers when dealing in the Shares.

If any Overseas Shareholders are excluded from the Rights Issue, subject to the advice of the Company's legal advisers in the relevant jurisdictions and to the extent reasonably practicable, the Company will send copies of this prospectus to such Non-qualifying Shareholders for their information only, but will not send any PAL or EAF to them. Receipt of a copy of this prospectus does not and will not constitute an offer to the Non-Qualifying Shareholder(s).

- 13 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In order to be registered as members of the Company at the close of business on the Record Date, any relevant transfer documents (together with the relevant share certificates) must be lodged with the Company's share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong for registration no later than 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, 30 January 2020.

Closure of register of members

The register of members of the Company will be closed from Friday, 31 January 2020 to Thursday, 6 February 2020 (both dates inclusive) for determining the entitlements to the Rights Issue. No transfer of Shares will be registered during this period.

It is the responsibility of any person (including but without limitation to nominee, custodian, agent and trustee) receiving a copy of the Prospectus or the PAL or the EAF outside Hong Kong and wishing to take up the Rights Shares or make an application for excess Rights Shares to satisfy himself/herself/itself as to the full observance of the laws and regulations of the relevant territory or jurisdiction, including the obtaining of any governmental or other consents for observing any other formalities which may be required in such territory or jurisdiction, and to pay any taxes, duties and other amounts required to be paid in such territory or jurisdiction in connection therewith. Any acceptance by any person will be deemed to constitute a representation and warranty from such person to the Company that these local laws and requirements have been complied with. If you are in any doubt as to your position, you should consult your professional adviser. For the avoidance of doubt, neither HKSCC nor HKSCC Nominees Limited is subject to any of the representations and warranties.

Arrangements will be made for the Rights Shares which would otherwise have been provisionally allotted to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders to be sold in the market in their nil- paid form as soon as practicable after dealings in the nil-paid Rights Shares commence on the Stock Exchange and in any event before the last day of dealing in the nil-paid Rights Shares, if a premium (net of expenses) can be obtained. The net proceeds of such sale, less expenses, will be paid pro rata to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders in Hong Kong dollars as soon as practicable except that the Company will retain individual amounts of HK$100 or less for its own benefit. Any unsold entitlements of the Non-Qualifying Shareholders will be made available for excess application on EAFs by the Qualifying Shareholders.

Subscription Price

The Subscription Price is HK$0.80 per Rights Share, payable in full by a Qualifying Shareholder upon acceptance of the relevant provisional allotment of Rights Shares or when a transferee of nil-paid Rights Shares applies for the Rights Shares. The Subscription Price represents:

  1. a discount of approximately 37.5% to the closing price of HK$1.28 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;

- 14 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. a discount of approximately 37.9% to the average of the closing prices of approximately HK$1.29 per Share based on the closing prices of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five (5) consecutive full trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
  2. a discount of approximately 28.6% to the theoretical ex-rights price of approximately HK$1.12 per Share based on the closing price of HK$1.28 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;
  3. a discount of approximately 29.0% to the theoretical ex-rights price of approximately HK$1.13 per Share based on the five (5) consecutive full trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
  4. a discount of approximately 61.6% to the unaudited consolidated net asset value per Share as at 30 June 2019 of approximately HK$2.08 (which is calculated based on the unaudited consolidated net asset value of the Group attributable to the owners of the Company as at 30 June 2019 of approximately HK$516,051,000 and 247,717,920 Shares in issue as at 30 June 2019).

Based on the Subscription Price of HK$0.80, the estimated gross proceeds of the Rights Issue will be approximately HK$105 million. The net proceeds from the Rights Issue to be received by the Company are expected to approximately HK$98.1 million. The net price per Rights Share (i.e. Subscription Price less cost and expenses incurred in the Rights Issue) upon full acceptance of the relevant provisional allotment of Rights Shares will be approximately HK$0.75 per Rights Share.

The Subscription Price was determined after arm's length negotiations between the Company and the Underwriter with reference to (a) the market price of the Shares prior to the Last Trading Day; (b) the capital needs and financial position of the Company; and (c) the prevailing market conditions of the capital market in Hong Kong.

In order to enhance the attractiveness of the Rights Issue, issuance of new shares by way of rights issue at a discount to the then market price has been commonly adopted by listed issuers in Hong Kong to encourage existing shareholders to take up their entitlements so as to participate in the potential growth of the listed issuers in the future. In view of the then market conditions, including the trend of the price and liquidity of the Shares, it was considered necessary and appropriate to set the Subscription Price at a discount to the market price with a view to attracting Shareholders to subscribe for the Rights Shares and inducing the Underwriter to participate in the Rights Issue. Moreover, an overall consideration was given to the amount of funds to be raised through the Rights Issue based on the current Subscription Price (including the discount as mentioned above) and the number of Rights Shares to be issued by the Group.

Given that (i) the Rights Shares are offered to all Qualifying Shareholders and each Qualifying Shareholders is entitled to subscribe for the Rights Shares at the same price in proportion to their respective shareholdings in the Company held on the Record Date; (ii) the Subscription Price is at a discount to the recent closing prices of the Shares with a view to encouraging the existing Shareholders to participate in the Rights Issue so as to participate in

- 15 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

the potential growth of the Company and induce the Underwriter to participate in the underwriting of the Underwritten Shares; and (iii) the proceeds from the Rights Issue will provide the Group with funds required as set out under the section headed ''Reasons for the Rights Issue and use of proceeds'' in this prospectus, the Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the Subscription Price is fair and reasonable and in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole taken into account of potential dilution impact.

Dilution effect and the structure of the Rights Issue

Despite the Rights Issue will potentially result in a theoretical dilution effect (ascribed to Rule 7.27B of the Listing Rules) of approximately 12.6%, being the discount of the theoretical diluted price (as defined in note 1(a) under Rule 7.27B of the Listing Rules) of HK$1.13 to the benchmarked price (as defined in note 1(b) under Rule 7.27B of the Listing Rules) of HK$1.29, the Directors consider that the interest of the Qualifying Shareholders will not be prejudiced because:

  1. the Rights Issue provides the Qualifying Shareholders an opportunity to subscribe for their pro-rata Rights Shares at a discount to the historical and prevailing market prices of the Shares;
  2. whilst the dilution nature of Rights Issue is common in the market, the Qualifying Shareholders who choose to accept the Rights Issue in full are able to maintain their respective existing shareholding interests in the Company after the Rights Issue; and
  3. the Qualifying Shareholders who do not take up their entitlements in the Rights Issue are able to sell the nil-paid Rights Shares in the market, while the Qualifying Shareholders who wish to increase their shareholding interests in the Company through the Rights Issue are able to make excess applications for additional Rights Shares and/or acquire additional nil-paid Rights Shares in the market.

Based on the above, the Board consider that the terms of the Rights Issue are on normal commercial terms, in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and the terms of which, including the Subscription Price, are fair and reasonable and in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole taken into account of potential dilution impact.

Based on the above, the Board considers the terms of the Rights Issue, including the Subscription Price, to be fair and reasonable and in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Basis of provisional allotment

The basis of the provisional allotment will be one (1) Rights Share (in nil-paid form) for every two (2) Shares held by Qualifying Shareholders at the close of business on the Record Date. Application for all or any part of a Qualifying Shareholder's provisional allotment should be made by completing the PAL and lodging the same with a cheque or a banker's cashier order for the sum payable for the Rights Shares being applied for with the Registrar,

The Company will not allot any fractions of Right Shares. Any factional entitlements to Rights Shares will be aggregated (and rounded down to the nearest whole number) and will be made available for excess application by Qualifying Shareholders, and the Company will keep the proceeds.

Status of the Rights Shares

The Rights Shares, when issued, allotted and fully paid, will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares then in issue.

Dealings in the Rights Shares in both their nil-paid and fully-paid forms which are registered in the Registrar will be subject to payment of stamp duty, Stock Exchange trading fee, SFC transaction levy or any other applicable fees and charges in Hong Kong.

Share certificates and refund cheques for the Rights Issue

Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions of the Rights Issue, share certificates for all fully-paid Rights Shares are expected to be posted on Monday, 2 March 2020 by ordinary post to the persons entitled thereto, at their own risk, to their registered address. Each Shareholder will receive one share certificate for all allotted Rights Shares.

Refund cheques in respect of wholly or partially unsuccessful applications for excess Rights Shares are also expected to be posted on or before Monday, 2 March 2020 by ordinary post at such Shareholders' own risk.

Arrangement on odd lot trading

In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots (if any) of the Rights Shares arising from the Rights Issue, the Company has appointed, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, as an agent to provide matching service, on a best effort basis, to those Shareholders who wish to acquire odd lots of the Rights Shares to make up a full board lot, or to dispose of their holding of odd lots of the Rights Shares during the period from Tuesday, 3 March 2020 to Monday, 23 March 2020.

Without prejudice to the other rights of the Company in respect thereof, the Company reserves the right to reject any PAL in respect of which the cheque or cashier's order is dishonoured on first presentation, and in that event, the provisional allotment and all rights thereunder will be deemed to have been declined and will be cancelled.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Shareholders and public investors should note that the above shareholding changes are for illustration purposes only and the actual changes in the shareholding structure of the Company upon completion of the Rights Issue are subject to various factors, including the results of acceptance of the Rights Shares. Further announcements will be made by the Company in accordance with the Listing Rules following the completion of the Rights Issue upon which the Rights Shares are allotted and issued.

REASONS FOR THE RIGHTS ISSUE AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The Company is an investment holding company, with its subsidiaries engaged principally in the research and development, production and sale of concentrated Chinese medicine granule (CCMG) products and Chinese healthcare products, plantation and trading of raw Chinese herbs, and the manufacture and sale of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction pieces as well as the rendering of Chinese medical diagnostic services.

The Board considers that the Rights Issue, which is on a fully underwritten basis, will allow the Group to strengthen its capital structure without incurring debt financing cost, improve the financial position and provide additional financial resources for capturing suitable business expansion and investment opportunities when they arise. Meanwhile, the Rights Issue will give the Qualifying Shareholders the opportunity to maintain their respective pro rata shareholding interests in the Company and to continue to participate in the future development of the Group. The Qualifying Shareholders are also able to further increase their interests in the Company through excess applications. Accordingly, the Board considers that the Rights Issue is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The gross proceeds and net proceeds from the Rights Issue will be approximately HK$105 million and HK$98.1 million respectively (assuming no further issue or repurchase of Shares on or before the Record Date). The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Rights Issue for the repayment of bank borrowings and general working capital of the Group:

(a) Repayment of the bank loan

The Board intends to apply approximately HK$41 million to repay the outstanding amount (including the principal and the relevant interest and fees) in full under a bank term loan (the ''Bank Loan'') owed by the Group to a commercial bank, which is an independent third party of the Group. The Bank Loan has an original principal amount of approximately HK$59 million with a committed loan period ended on April 2019 and a final maturity date of in January 2023, which is secured by, among others, a charge over certain lands and properties of the wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Bank Loan, it shall be repaid by monthly instalments.

The existing level of external borrowing and the associated financial cost would continue to impose cash flow burden on the Group. Financing the Group's business operation solely through debt financing would further reduce the Group's liquidity and increase the Group's exposure to financial cost, thereby limiting our future fund raising ability through bank borrowing to finance our operation and business expansion.

- 26 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Further, we are subject to restrictive covenants such as collateral requirement, cash deposit requirement, maintenance of certain levels of financial ratios and restrictions on the use of the loan proceeds, which in turn, would limit the amount of funds that we are able to apply for our operation and may restrict our future business activities.

Since the charged assets are substantially more valuable than the outstanding amount under the Bank Loan, the Board considers that applying partial proceeds from the Rights Issue for an early repayment of the Bank Loan can release the charged assets for other more favourable debt financing opportunities.

(b) General working capital of the Group

The Board intends to apply approximately HK$57.5 million for the general working capital of the Group, of which approximately HK$20 million will be applied for marketing expenses for the Group's China CCMG business in the first half of year 2020 and approximately HK$20 million will be applied for raw herbs procurement in year 2020. The remaining of approximately HK$17.5 million will be retained for other expected working capital requirements of the Group in the future.

The Directors have considered other financing alternatives including (i) additional debt financing, (ii) placement of new Shares, and (iii) open offer of new Shares. The Board considers that fund raising through the Rights Issue is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, for the reasons as follows:

  1. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has attempted to obtain loan financing from its principal bankers, but is aware that due to the relatively high gearing ratio of the Company and the fact that most of the Company's assets had been pledged as security for existing bank facilities, it is very difficult for the Company to obtain additional loan facilities with favourable terms and conditions in terms of interest rate and charges. As at 30 June 2019, the gearing ratio of the Group, which is calculated by dividing the total interest-bearing bank and other borrowings, and a loan from a director by the total equity was 0.95 (31 December 2018: 1.0). In addition, the Board is of the view that the debt financial may result in an even higher gearing ratio of the Group, and repayment of additional bank loans will further limit the cash flow for potential business growth.
  2. Any placement of new Shares it would lead to immediate dilution in the shareholding interest of existing Shareholders without offering them the opportunity to participate in the enlarged capital base of the Company. Further, upon calculation of the maximum possible proceeds from the placement of new Shares, the Board considers that the amount to be raised in such way would not be sufficient for the purposes mentioned above; and
  3. While an open offer of new Shares offers Qualifying Shareholders the opportunity to participate in the subscription of new Shares, it does not allow the trading of rights entitlements in the open market.

- 27 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Given the above, the Board considers that the Rights Issue, which is on a fully underwritten basis, can make the Company raise sufficient funds to satisfy its demands on funds as mentioned and provides better financial flexibility for the Company as it will strengthen the capital base of the Company, thus enhancing its net asset position without the ongoing burden of interest expenses. In addition, the Rights Issue would give the Qualifying Shareholders the opportunity to maintain their respective pro rata shareholding interest in the Company and provide an opportunity to all Qualifying Shareholders to participate in the growth of the Company in proportion to their shareholdings.

EQUITY FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES IN THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS

Save for the Shareholder's Loan Capitalisation, the Company has not conducted any equity fund raising activities in the past twelve (12) months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

POSSIBLE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARE OPTIONS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had outstanding Share Options issued under the Share Option Scheme carrying rights for the grantees thereof to subscribe for an aggregate of 6,376,000 Shares (subject to adjustment). As a result of the Rights Issue, there may be adjustments to the exercise price(s) and/or the number of Shares to be issued upon exercise of the outstanding Share Options pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Share Option Scheme. The Company has appointed its auditor to certify in writing the adjustments to the Share Options and that such adjustments are in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Share Option Scheme with reference to the Listing Rules. Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company in relation thereof as and when appropriate.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As the Rights Issue will increase the issued share capital and the market capitalisation of the Company by not more than 50% within the 12-month period immediately preceding the date of the Announcement, the Rights Issue is not conditional on approval by the Shareholders pursuant to Rule 7.19A of the Listing Rules.

WARNING OF THE RISKS OF DEALING IN SHARES AND THE NIL-PAID RIGHTS SHARES

The Shares have been dealt with on an ex-rights basis from Wednesday, 29 January 2020. Dealings in the Rights Shares in the nil-paid form are expected to take place from 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, 11 February 2020 to 4:10 p.m. on Tuesday, 18 February 2020 (both days inclusive). If the conditions of the Rights Issue are not fulfilled or the Underwriting Agreement is terminated by the Underwriter on or before 4:00 p.m. on Monday, 24 February 2020 or such later time and/or date as may be agreed between the Company and the Underwriter, the Rights Issue will not proceed.

Any Shareholders or other persons dealing or contemplating dealing in the Shares up to the date on which all the conditions of the Rights Issue are fulfilled (and the date on which the Underwriter's right of termination of the Underwriting Agreement ceases), and

- 28 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

any dealings in the nil-paid Rights Shares from Tuesday, 11 February 2020 to Tuesday, 18 February 2020 (both days inclusive), bear the risk that the Rights Issue may not become unconditional or may not proceed.

2. STATEMENT OF INDEBTEDNESS

Unsecured

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

The Group's secured bank borrowings were secured by property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, inventories, trade and bills receivables and pledged deposits of the Group.

Lease liabilities

The Group has adopted HKFRS 16 Leases using a modified retrospective approach on 1 January 2019. The Group applies HKFRS 16 to contracts that were previously identified as leases under Hong Kong Accounting Standard 17 Leases and uses the exemptions allowed by the standard on short-term leases and lease contracts whose lease terms end within 12 months as of the date of the initial application. The Group measures the lease liability at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Group's incremental borrowing rate and measures the right-of-use asset at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by any prepaid or accrued lease payments. As at 31 December 2019, the Group has current and non-current lease liabilities amounted to HK$28.0 million and HK$42.5 million, respectively.

Save as aforesaid or as otherwise disclosed herein, and apart from intra-group liabilities, at the close of business on 31 December 2019, the Group did not have any debt securities issued and outstanding and authorised or otherwise created but unissued, term loans, bank overdrafts, loans or other similar indebtedness, liabilities under acceptances or acceptance credits, debentures, mortgages, charges, hire purchase commitments, guarantees or other material contingent liabilities.

3. WORKING CAPITAL

The Directors, after due and careful consideration and taking into account of the financial resources of the Group, the banking facilities, the estimated net proceeds from the Right Issue and the Group's internally generated funds, are of the opinion that the Group will have sufficient working capital for its present requirements for at least the next twelve months following the date of this prospectus.

4. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS

The Group reported a revenue and net loss of HK$333.6 million and HK$45.2 million, respectively, for the six months ended 30 June 2019.

The China CCMG business continues to be challenging with keen price competition. The drop in sales in the China CCMG business for the six months ended 30 June 2019 was due to a structural revamp of the business strategy in China. Since the beginning of 2019, the Group has raised the prices of its CCMG products in China and have successfully negotiated a higher trade margin with certain of its distributors. The adjustments have also delineated some unprofitable distributors and have resulted in a temporary loss of sales. However, this structural revamp in pricing and business strategy is considered a necessary and fundamental move to improve the overall margin of the Group's CCMG business in China in the long term. The revamped sales and pricing strategy of the Group's CCMG business will continue and is on track to further improve the sales and profitability of the China CCMG segment.

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

The Hong Kong retail market weakened further from June onwards due to the outbreak of social incidents. The ongoing social instability in Hong Kong affected the Group's clinic business segment, number of patient visit to the Group's clinics was substantially reduced. Due to the difficult retail market and sluggish consumption sentiment, the sales of the Group's Chinese healthcare products was also affected.

In view of the extremely difficult operating environment in Hong Kong, the Group will further optimise the clinic network in Hong Kong and enhance its profitability by closing those clinics located in unfavourable locations.

Looking ahead, the Group will continue to strengthen the competitiveness of its ''farm to clinic'' concept. The Group will endeavour to achieve sustainability and stability of its business so as to secure the best interest of its Shareholders, and continue to be the pioneer in modernising Chinese Medicine through its innovation and conviction.

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS' ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

To the Directors of PuraPharm Corporation Limited

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of pro forma financial information of PuraPharm Corporation Limited (the ''Company'') and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the ''Group'') by the directors of the Company (the ''Directors'') for illustrative purposes only.

The Pro Forma Financial Information has been compiled by the Directors to illustrate the impact of the proposed Rights Issue of 131,630,980 Rights Shares at the Subscription Price of HK$0.8 per Rights Share on the basis of one Rights Share for every two Shares of the Company held on the record date (the ''Rights Issue'') on the Group's financial position as at 30 June 2019 as if the Rights Issue had taken place as at 30 June 2019. As part of this process, information about the Group's consolidated net tangible assets has been derived by the directors from the Group's consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, on which an interim report has been published.
