In addition to the second repurchase by Liaoning Port, on the evening of the 2nd, Health Yuan (600380) also disclosed that its actual controller and chairman, Zhu Baoguo, based on confidence in the company's future development and recognition of the company's value, in order to effectively safeguard the interests of all shareholders, enhance investors' confidence in the company, and promote a reasonable return of the company's stock value, implement the company's "improve quality, increase efficiency, and focus on returns" action plan, and considering the company's operating conditions and financial status, proposed that the company repurchase some of its Renminbi common shares (A-shares) through the Shanghai Stock Exchange's trading system using a centralized bidding transaction method. The repurchased shares will be entirely canceled to reduce the company's registered capital.

The repurchase is planned to be funded by the company's own funds or self-raised funds, not to exceed 15.4 yuan per share, with a minimum of 300 million yuan (inclusive) and a maximum of 500 million yuan (inclusive).

If the maximum repurchase funds of 500 million yuan are fully used, based on the financial data as of June 30, 2024, the repurchase amount would account for 1.37%, 3.49%, and 2.12% of the company's total assets, net assets attributable to shareholders of listed companies, and current assets, respectively.

After the implementation of the share repurchase, the company's equity distribution will still meet the listing conditions, will not affect the company's listing status, and will not lead to changes in the company's control.
