10:43 CKLIFE SCIENCES<08222> - Announcement (1) The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited takes no responsibility for the contents of this announcement, makes no representation as to its accuracy or completeness and expressly disclaims any liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents of this announcement. CK Life Sciences Int'l., (Holdings) Inc. (Incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability) (Stock Code: 8222) CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS The Group has been carrying on the Existing Continuing Connected Transactions, as announced on 29 August 2003. At the extraordinary general meeting of the Company held on 26 September 2003, the then independent Shareholders approved the Group to conduct the Existing Continuing Connected Transactions and the annual caps for transactions under each of the Existing Supply Agreements for a period up to 31 December 2005, subject to certain conditions. Details of the Existing Continuing Connected Transactions were disclosed in the announcement and circular of the Company dated 29 August 2003 and 10 September 2003 respectively. The Existing Supply Agreements and the period covered by the approval in respect of them will expire on 31 December 2005. It is expected that the Group, the CKH Group and the HIL Group will from time to time continue to enter into transactions of a nature similar to the Existing Continuing Connected Transactions after the expiry of the Existing Supply Agreements on 31 December 2005. As at the date of this announcement, (i) CKH is interested in approximately 44.01% of the issued share capital of the Company and therefore is a substantial shareholder of the Company and (ii) CKH is interested in approximately 49.97% of the issued share capital of HWL, and HIL, a wholly-owned subsidiary of HWL, is thus an associate of CKH. Therefore, CKH and HIL are connected persons of the Company under the GEM Listing Rules. Since the New Continuing Connected Transactions will involve provision of goods on a continuing or recurring basis and are expected to extend over a period of time, those transactions constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company under the GEM Listing Rules. On 29 March 2005, the Company entered into the conditional New Supply Agreements for a term of three years commencing from 1 January 2006. In respect of the total amount of the New CKH Continuing Connected Transactions and the New HIL Continuing Connected Transactions, as it is anticipated that the applicable percentage ratios (other than the profits ratio) calculated in accordance with Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules will, on an annual basis, not be less than 2.5% and the annual consideration is expected to be higher than HK$10,000,000, the New CKH Continuing Connected Transactions and the New HIL Continuing Connected Transactions will constitute non-exempt continuing connected transactions of the Company under the GEM Listing Rules. The Company will be subject to the reporting, announcement, annual review and Independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Rules 20.45 to 20.54 of the GEM Listing Rules in relation to the New Continuing Connected Transactions.
