The parties intend to implement the privatisation of the Company by way of a scheme of arrangement, with a view to enabling the Company to focus on long-term strategic decisions, such as longer-term business investment in R&D and operations enhancements.Upon completion of the Proposal, the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Offeror, and the listing of the Shares will be withdrawn from the Stock Exchange.The Offeror is owned by a consortium comprising Mr. Zhong and Ms. Shentu (the Founders), the TPG Entities, NewQuest V and Al-Rayyan Holding. Rationale for the ProposalDue to the long-term underperformance in the trading prices and trading liquidity of the Shares, the ability of the Company to raise funds from the equity market has been significantly limited. In addition, the Company has to incur administrative, compliance and other listing related costs and expenses for maintaining the listing status. Accordingly, there are limited benefits for the Company to maintain its listing status.In light of intensifying competition in domestic market and ongoing regulatory uncertainties, and in order to achieve sustainable growth, the Company's long-term strategy requires significant investment which could create short-term pressure on the Company’s financial performance. It is anticipated that additional resources need to be allocated to areas including sales and marketing, investment in research, development, and commercialisation, and the Company’s market expansion outside of China.Considering this, and the listing-related costs, there are limited benefits for Kangji Medical to maintain its listing status. In addition, the implementation of the Proposal will alleviate pressure on Kangji Medical’s short-term financial performance, which enables better focus on strategic objectives. It is anticipated that additional resources will need to be allocated for its future sustainable growth.Furthermore, the Proposal provides minority shareholders an attractive opportunity to realise compelling returns amid market volatility, industry and macro uncertainties, and the limited liquidity of the Shares.Knight Bidco Limited’s proposal offers a timely solution to Kangji Medical and its shareholders. Its proposal to privatise Kangji Medical will:(a) reduce Kangji Medical’s administrative, compliance and other listing related costs;(b) relieve Kangji Medical from the pressure associated with short-term performance metrics and enable Kangji Medical to focus on long-term strategic decisions (such as longer-term investment in R&D and operations enhancements which might incur short-term losses); and(c) present shareholders with certainty over their ability to monetise their interests in Kangji Medical at an attractive premium to the undisturbed share price.In summary, the Offeror believes that a take-private transaction is the strategic alternative that provides immediate and most compelling value for all shareholders, while also avoiding exposure to uncertain market conditions.Overview of the ProposalThe proposal sets out a Cancellation Price of HK$9.25 per share, valuing the company at approximately US$1.4 billion on an equity value basis.[1]The Offeror has indicated the Cancellation Price is final and will not be increased further.The Cancellation Price reflects:A 21.7% premium over the closing price on the Undisturbed Date (being 30 June, 2025).A 47.3% premium over the closing price of 360-trading day average price up to and including the Undisturbed Date.An 84.6% premium over the 52-week closing low (HK$5.01) up to and including the Undisturbed Date.A Cancellation Price above the highest closing price as quoted on the Stock Exchange since 2022 (HK$8.66).The Cancellation Price has taken into account, among other things, the recent and historical prices of the Shares traded on the Stock Exchange, publicly available financial information of the Company and with reference to other similar privatisation transactions in Hong Kong in recent years.The Proposal is subject to satisfaction of the Pre-Conditions by the Pre-Condition Long Stop Date (being 31 January, 2026) and the Conditions by the Long Stop Date (being 30 April, 2026). The Company will appoint an independent financial adviser (the “IFA”) to advise the committee of directors who are considered independent for the purposes of the Proposal (the “Independent Directors”) for the purposes of making a recommendation to shareholders in connection with the Proposal. Details of the Proposal including the Independent Directors’ final recommendation on the Proposal and the IFA’s advice will be included in the Scheme Document, expected to be dispatched to shareholders in due course.Scheme MeetingDetails of the Scheme Meeting to be convened will be contained in the Scheme Document which is expected to be dispatched to shareholders in due course.There are several pre-conditions and conditions as set out in the Joint Announcement, including regulatory approvals, shareholders approval and compliance with other legislative requirements.Irrevocable UndertakingAn Irrevocable Undertaking has been received from one institutional shareholder to vote in favour of the Proposal. Further details are available in the Joint Announcement.Trading in the Shares of the Company has been suspended on the Stock Exchange since 9:00 a.m. on 18 July, 2025, pending the release of this Announcement. The Company has applied to the Stock Exchange for the resumption of trading of Shares with effect from 9 a.m. on August 13, 2025.J.P.

HONG KONG, Aug 8, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Everest Medicines (HKEX 1952.HK) recently announced the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA) has approved the supplementary application for NEFECON(R). NEFECON(R) is indicated to reduce the loss of kidney function in adults with primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) who are at risk for disease progression, irrespective of proteinuria levels.With this label update, the previous requirement in accelerated approval stage to submit full confirmatory trial analysis to demonstrate clinical benefit has been formally removed. Additionally, data demonstrating NEFECON(R)’s efficacy in delaying kidney function decline has been included in the approved product label. IgAN is highly prevalent among Asian populations, with a 56% higher risk of progression to end-stage renal disease compared to other groups and often progresses more rapidly.Taiwan region became the last region across all Everest’s territories to grant full approval for NEFECON(R), together with Mainland China, Singapore, Macao SAR, Hong Kong SAR and South Korea. This further demonstrates NEFECON(R)’s foundational first-line cornerstone treatment for IgAN patients."NEFECON(R) has received full approval in Taiwan, further validating its outstanding clinical value and offering physicians a more solid clinical foundation for treatment decisions.” Rogers Yongqing Luo, Chief Executive Officer of Everest Medicines, said. “As the first and only fully approved etiological treatment for IgAN, NEFECON(R) has now achieved full approval across Asia. This milestone will benefit a broader patient population by enabling more individuals with IgAN to access this etiological treatment earlier, helping to slow disease progression and improve quality of life. We will continue to expand the accessibility and affordability of NEFECON(R) across Asia, aiming to benefit more IgAN patients and improve their quality of life."The approval is based on the global Phase 3 NefIgArd clinical trial, which showed that compared to placebo, it not only brought about a durable reduction in proteinuria and reduced the frequency of microscopic hematuria but also demonstrated clinically relevant and statistically significant treatment benefits in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), reducing the decline in kidney function by 50% over a period of 2 years, comprising 9 months of treatment and 15 months of observation, and potentially delaying the progression to dialysis or kidney transplantation by 12.8 years.Additionally, the complete 2-year data of the NefIgArd study further analyzed the potential differences in the response to NEFECON(R) treatment between Asians (n=83) and Caucasians (n=275). The results showed that compared to placebo, treatment with NEFECON(R) for 9 months in both Asians and Caucasians can significantly delay the decline of eGFR, protect kidney function, and bring about a sustained reduction in proteinuria and reduce the risk of microscopic hematuria.NEFECON(R) has been recommended by several authoritative treatment guidelines, including the “KDIGO 2024 Clinical Practice Guideline for the Management of Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy (IgAN) and Immunoglobulin A Vasculitis (IgAV) (Public Review Draft)”, and the "Clinical Practice Guideline for IgA Nephropathy and IgA Vasculitis in Chinese Adults (For Public Review)". NEFECON(R) was included in China’s National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL) in November 2024, and the supplemental application for the production expansion of NEFECON(R) has been officially approved by NMPA in August 2025.NEFECON(R) is currently the world’s first IgAN treatment to have received full approval from the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) in China, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the European Medicines Agency (EMA), the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency（MHRA）in the United Kingdom , as well as in other Asian territories where Everest Medicines holds the rights, including Hong Kong SAR, Macao SAR, Taiwan region (China), Singapore, and South Korea.

HONG KONG, Aug 12, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - MMG Limited (“MMG”, stock code: 1208) has today announced its Interim Results with a net profit after tax of US$566.3 million. This represents more than a 600 per cent increase compared to a net profit after tax of US$79.5 million in the first half of 2024.The strong profit growth was primarily driven by increased copper production across all three copper mines, higher market prices for copper, gold, silver and zinc, as well as reduced unit costs at Las Bambas driven by higher copper production.“Over the first half of the year, our business delivered an outstanding operational and financial performance,” said Ivo Zhao, MMG’s CEO. “This result reflects the strength of our portfolio, the capability of our people, and the disciplined execution of our strategy.”Importantly, MMG’s safety performance improved with a total recordable injury frequency (TRIF) of 1.81 per million hours worked in the first half of 2025, an improvement compared to the full-year 2024 TRIF of 2.06. The significant events with energy exchange frequency (SEEEF) for the first half of 2025 remained consistent with the 2024 figure at 0.78 per million hours worked.Operationally, MMG achieved impressive copper sales and significantly improved production across all three of its copper assets, including a strong performance from Las Bambas and the ramp-up at Khoemacau and Kinsevere. Its Australian operations also maintained solid zinc production, despite navigating challenges including weather impacts, equipment reliability and lower grades due to mining sequence.Highlights include:Record first-half results for both EBITDA and EBIT, with EBITDA at US$1,539.9 million, representing a 98 per cent increase compared to the first half of 2024, and EBIT totalling US$1,058.8 million, an increase of 240 per cent over the same period.Net profit after tax was US$566.3 million, including a profit of US$340.0 million attributable to equity holders of the company.A 130 per cent increase in net cash flow from operations, totalling US$1,185.0 million, compared to the first half of 2024. This performance was mainly driven by increased copper sales and higher commodity prices.Balance sheet improvements, with record lows - since the acquisition of Las Bambas - in both net debt and gearing ratio.

HONG KONG, Aug 12, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - China Lilang Limited (“China Lilang” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”; stock code: 1234) today announced its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2025.Mr. Wang Dong Xing, Chairman and Non-Executive Director of China Lilang, said: “In the first half of 2025, international trade environment became increasingly harsh and complex. During the period, consumer spending in the mainland gradually recovered, but consumers remained cautious about spending on non-essential goods. China Lilang prides a well-differentiated brand matrix that has enabled it to penetrate and have a strong foothold in the menswear market. It appealed to its target customer base through precise product positioning and channel strategies, and launched a number of ‘LILANZ’ and ‘LESS IS MORE’ brand products to meet the needs of the consumer market. In addition, the Group actively deployed omni-channel marketing to enhance the popularity of the Lilang brands and improve the efficiency of online and offline sales channels to boost overall sales and operational competence.”For the six months ended 30 June 2025, the Group’s revenue increased by 7.9% to RMB1,727 million. Among this, revenue of the smart causal collection and other collections urged 31.8%, mainly driven by strong performance in in-store sales of the smart casual collection and new retail business. The core collection recorded a slight decrease of 0.2%, primarily due to one-off revenue deduction resulting from the promotion of DTC business model in Shandong Province and Chongqing City.Gross profit margin increased by 0.2 percentage points year-on-year to 50.2%, mainly due to the increase in average unit price as a result of higher proportion of the direct-to-retail operation in sales revenue. Profit attributable to equity shareholders for the period was RMB242.5 million (2024 Interim: RMB280.1 million). Profit margin attributable to equity shareholders was 14.0%. Earnings per share were RMB20.2 cents.During the period, the Group maintained a healthy financial position with sufficient cash flow. The Board of Directors has recommended payment of an interim dividend of HK11 cents (2024 Interim: HK13 cents) per ordinary share and a special interim dividend of HK5 cents (2024 Interim: HK5 cents) per ordinary share, thereby maintaining a stable payout ratio.The Group diligently advanced its strategic transformation during the period, plus continued to implement its “Multi-brands and Internationalization” development strategy to expand business. The core collection “LILANZ” has continued to consolidate its competitive advantage in the traditional menswear market and successfully amplified its brand awareness and market share. The repurchase and transformation of distribution and agency rights in North-Eastern China and Jiangsu Province were completed last year. During the period, the Group has repurchased the operating rights from distributors in the entire Shandong province and Chongqing city and adopted the DTC model. The "LESS IS MORE" smart casual collection that targets younger consumers continued to operate in a fully direct-to-retail mode. The newly opened stores of the smart casual collection were mainly in South-Western China and Central and Southern China. As at 30 June 2025, there were 2,443 stores for the core collection and 331 stores for the smart casual collection.During the period, the Group continued to optimize its sales channels, opening new stores in shopping malls and outlet stores in prime locations as planned. By incorporating tech-savvy visual aesthetics and youthful, fashionable layouts, the Group has brought the brand’s“Simplicity but not Simple” philosophy to life, thereby enhancing its brand image and driving sales. As at June 30, 2025, the number of stores located in shopping malls rose to 957 (31 December 2024: 933), the store count of outlet stores increased to 121 (31 December 2024: 103), with a total of 2,774 retail stores.The Group completed strategic transformation of its new retail business, upgrading it from an inventory clearance channel into a major new product sales platform, which reported a remarkable 24.6% increase in revenue for the period. While continuing to strengthen its presence on established sales platforms like Tmall, JD.com and TikTok, the Group has also expanded into emerging channels such as Pinduoduo, Wechat Channels and Poizon, creating diversified online sales network all together. It has kept enhancing its e-commerce strategy and leveraged social media platforms such as Xiaohongshu and Weibo to keep releasing high-quality content. This approach has deepened its emotional connection with consumers and presented it with new business opportunities.In terms of“Multi-brands and Internationalization” development strategy, the business of “MUNSINGWEAR” was successfully handed over to the Group in the first half of the year. The Group plans to open its first batch of physical stores in the second half of the year. The Group has opened its first store in Malaysia, which started trial operation in May, marking a significant step in overseas expansion.For the research, development and innovation and brand marketing, the Group is committed to achieving breakthroughs in fabrics, craftsmanship and technologies by pursuing proprietary research and development across its industrial chain, with the goal of enhancing the brand's core competitive advantages. During the period, the Group’s original durable white non-iron shirts, “Water Repellent Down 3.0” and the wash-resistant polo shirts have obtained multiple certifications for their anti-wrinkle, quick-drying, and wash-resistant features, successfully driving sales growth. To step up brand transformation aiming at youth consumers, the Group has harnessed celebrity influence, collaborated with cultural IPs, and employed immersive marketing tactics to engage consumers across various age groups and city tiers.Looking ahead to the second half of 2025, the development of domestic consumer market continues to be challenging. As an industry leader, China Lilang will press on with applying its strengths, following shifts in the consumer market and technological advancement, to promote transformation and to enhance brand influence, achieving sustainable sales and profit growth.In the second half year, the Group will continue to push forward with transformation. It will continue to capitalize on the operational advantages of the DTC model in North- Eastern China, Jiangsu Province, Shandong Province and Chongqing City to achieve healthy expansion, tailoring implementation taking into account the specific conditions of each market to further achieve optimal operational performance. For the smart casual collection, which is operated entirely in the direct-to-retail mode, will have its development foundation strengthened to help maintain its strong development momentum. The Group expects the DTC model to unleash its potential further in the second half year and contribute to sales growth.On the other hand, the Group will continue to leverage the advantages of its sales channel reform, focusing on opening stores in prime locations in premium shopping malls in provincial capitals and prefecture-level cities, and closing the underperforming stores to achieve better overall store performance. At the same time, the Group will prudently expand the layout of outlet stores and increase the number of stores to speed up inventory clearance. The Group aims to achieve a net increase of 50-100 stores in 2025.To achieve both the online and offline development, the Group will accelerate its new retails business by leveraging various platforms to engage young customer groups and strengthen brand market penetration. By increasing brand exposure through multi-dimensional initiatives, the Group aims to increase online sales of new products, expecting a rise to 80% of total e-commerce sales. It will work on optimizing the respond time of its supply chain to meet customers’ needs, via including continuously upgrading its the smart logistics center.With a solid domestic foundation, the Group is confident of accelerating implementation of its “Multi-brands and Internationalization” development strategy. As a key project of its multi-brand strategy, "MUNSINGWEAR" will continue to focus on product development in the second half year to meet the needs of the new middle class for personalized, functional and sustainable fashion. For its overseas business, the Group will open more stores in Malaysia in the second half year to better tap the Malaysian market, as well as actively deploy plans to expand business coverage to other Southeast Asian markets. Furthermore, the Group will promote its brand popularity through collaboration with IPs, as well as enhancing interaction with consumers through precise social media marketing and membership programs to foster customer loyalty and capture bigger market share.Mr. Wang Dong Xing, Chairman of China Lilang, concluded: “While China's consumer market remains challenging, the Group maintains cautious optimism toward the retail sector given the government's implementation of multiple consumption-stimulus measures. The ‘LILANZ’ core collection and the ‘LESS IS MORE’ smart casual collection have both undergone innovative transformation, emerging with clearer positioning. This will enable the Group to enhance precision and efficiency in product development, design, marketing promotion and sales, and ultimately drive the long-term growth. On the other hand, as a steadfast practitioner of sustainable development, the Group has deeply embedded ESG principles into its corporate strategy, consistently driving green innovation and social shared value. During the period, we issued our first independently compiled ESG report titled "Creat a Better Life Together" and formally established an ESG Management Committee, integrating ESG governance into strategic planning and core values – demonstrating our commitment to long-term value creation. Notably, the Group achieved an MSCI ESG rating upgrade to BB, ranking among China's top menswear industry peers. Looking ahead, the Group will continue to reinforce its leadership in the domestic menswear sector and strive to achieve sustainable growth through implementing flexible marketing strategy and continuous innovation, to the ultimate end of generating greater value for shareholders, its employees and customers."About China LilangChina Lilang is one of the leading PRC menswear enterprises.
