<li>The Share Alternative is necessary to improve success rate of privatization. Our guess is Henlius Biopharmaceuticals/Lin Lijun would vote for this privatization, but we’re not sure about Qatar Investment’s decision.</li>
<li>Due to its "flaws", undervaluation of Henlius is difficult to fundamentally change. So, those conservative and cautious investors would choose the Cash Alternative considering the risks behind the Share Alternative.</li>
<li>Even if there’re plans of re-listing, it may be based on a new entity formed after integrating Henlius and other assets within Fosun Pharma. So, the value of Rollover Entities/Securities remains uncertain.</li>
