CLOSING OF PLACING OF EXISTING SHARES
AND
TOP-UP SUBSCRIPTION OF NEW SHARES UNDER
GENERAL MANDATE
Joint Overall Coordinators and Capital Markets Intermediaries

Joint Placing Agents

Reference is made to the announcement of Ascentage Pharma Group International (the “Company”) dated July 14, 2025 in relation to the placing of the existing Shares and top-up subscription of new Shares under the General Mandate (the “Top-up Placing Announcement”). Unless otherwise defined, capitalized terms used herein shall have the same respective meanings as those defined in the Top-up Placing Announcement.
The Board is pleased to announce that all the Placing Conditions Precedent have been satisfied and the closing of the Placing took place on July 17, 2025. An aggregate of 22,000,000 Sale Shares have been successfully placed by the Placing Agents to not less than six Placees at the Placing Price of HK$68.60 per Sale Share pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Placing and Subscription Agreement. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief and having made all reasonable enquiries, the Placees and their respective ultimate beneficial owners are third parties independent of the Company and its connected persons.
As all the Subscription Conditions Precedent have also been fulfilled, the Company allotted and issued 22,000,000 Subscription Shares (being the same number as the Sale Shares) to the Vendor at HK$68.60 per Subscription Share (being the same as the Placing Price) on July 25, 2025.
The net proceeds arising from the Subscription amount to approximately HK$1,492.5 million. The net proceeds from the Subscription are expected to be used for (i) commercialization efforts, including expanding coverage and improving patient access; (ii) global clinical development to advance the core pipeline candidates of the Company; and (iii) infrastructure and working capital to strengthen global operations. Please refer to the Top-up Placing Announcement for further details on the use of the net proceeds from the Subscription.
The Subscription Shares were issued under the General Mandate granted to the Directors by the Shareholders at the annual general meeting of the Company held on May 19, 2025 to allot, issue and deal with up to 69,689,796 Shares. Immediately prior to the closing of the Placing and the Subscription, no Shares have been issued by the Company pursuant to the General Mandate. Following the closing of the Placing and the Subscription, the Company may still allot, issue and deal with up to 47,689,796 Shares pursuant to the General Mandate.
EFFECT OF THE PLACING AND THE SUBSCRIPTION ON SHAREHOLDING STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY
The shareholding structure of the Company (i) immediately prior to the closing of the Placing and the Subscription; (ii) immediately after the closing of the Placing but before the closing of the Subscription; and (iii) immediately after the closing of the Placing and the Subscription (assuming there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company between the date of the Placing and Subscription Agreement and the closing of the Placing and the Subscription, other than the Placing and the Subscription pursuant to the Placing and Subscription Agreement) are set out below.
