financial platform for Fosun's investment projects and asset management operations in Japan's financial market. This is another move by

Fosun to build up its business layout in Japan following its acquisition of IDERA Capital Management Ltd. ("IDERA"), a Japanese asset management platform, in 2014.

The newly established equity investment platform is formed through a partnership between Fosun Group and two renowned experts in the Japanese financial investment s e c t o r , M r . D a i s u k e KAWANO and Mr. Tetsuya NAGAO. The establishment of the equity investment platform in Japan will help Fosun to exp lo re more investment opportunities in japan financial market. It will help Fosun to push forward with its strategies for equity investment and asset allocation in the country and

thus can enhance Fosun’s global investment capability. It will also accelerate the development of Fosun’s global asset management. The equity investment platform in Japan will mainly focus on investments in the secondary market and private equity investment projects.

Mr. Daisuke KAWANO has over 15 years of equity investment and advisory experience in Japan. He was one of the founding members of a private equity firm and has been a Partner of the Strategic Investment Team (“Team”) in Tokyo for the past 9 years. During his time as Partner, the Team has invested in 7 deals in Japan which resulted in 7 successful exits.

On November 29, 2016, Qian Jiannong, the Global Partner and Vice President of Fosun Group, said in an interview in Beidahu, China that Fosun Tourism and Culture Group has officially spun off.

Officially registered and incorporated in September 2016, Fosun Tourism and Culture Group is currently under reorganization. Aligning with Fosun Group’s strategy of “Combining China's Growth Momentum wi th Global Resources”, and focusing on the leisure holiday demand of middle-class families, Fosun Tourism and Culture Group has integrated the whole industry chain and global resources. This will help position itself as a “global leading leisure travel group taking roots in China” underpinned by the twin drivers of “industry operation + strategic investment”.

On December 15th, Moody's Investors Service has changed the outlook from stable to positive on Fosun International Limited's Ba3 corporate family rating. At the same time, Moody's has affirmed Fosun's Ba3 corporate family rating, as well as the Ba3 rating on the senior unsecured bonds issued by Sparkle Assets Limited and guaranteed by Fosun.

According to the analysis by market professionals, the upgrade in Fosun’s rating outlook demonstrated that Moody's also recognized Fosun’s initiatives on lowering leverage and increasing liquidity, as well as optimizing its debt structure by increasing the proportion of long-term debt and minimizing debt costs.

The change in the rating outlook to positive follows Fosun's recent announcement to exit from some major projects, including the sales of the insurance firm – Ironshore.

Over the past years, Fosun attached high importance to the improvement in debt profile and ratings. Fosun has set up a special taskforce devoted to enhance debt structure, reduce debt cost and facilitate all-around communications with rating agencies to keep raising the group’s ratings.

That’s why our investment h a s b e e n f o c u s e d o n “ w e a l t h , h e a l t h a n d happiness” businesses – and why we have created added value through post-investment management.

As a global investment group, maintaining financial strength and l iquidity is ve ry impor tan t .

Therefore, last year, we encouraged our core enterprises to actively tap the capital markets. For instance, we announced the spin-off of Fosun Tourism and Culture Group.

Undoubtedly, apart from IPOs, we have many other ways to improve liquidity. D u r i n g t h e p r o c e s s o f Ironshore’s IPO, Liberty Mutual expressed strong i n t e r e s t i n a b u y o u t .

Strategic Cooperation Framework Agreement with China General Nuclear Power Group

C h i n a ’ s nuc lear power ins ta l led capacity is calculated that must reach 120-150 million kW by 2030 as an effective support, which would be equivalent to around 5% of the total primary energy consumption by that time. As uranium fuel represents the strategic safeguard for the normal operations of nuclear power stations, the growth in China’s nuclear power installed capacity has offered significant room for growth to uranium resources industry.

In the future, the cooperation between Hainan Mining and CGN Mining Company Limited (CGNMC) is in line with the huge development opportunities presented by nuclear power in China. As the uranium resources b u s i n e s s d e v e l o p m e n t platform of CGN Group, CGNMC has in t roduced F o s u n a s i t s s t r a t e g i c shareholder, which is expected to improve its shareholder structure and optimize its corporate governance. This will be conducive to the growth and refinement of its uranium resources platform, contributing to its development into China’s single largest manufacturer, and one of the world’s largest manufacturers of natural uranium.

FOSUN TIMES 2016.12.3104 Insights

Fosun should be entrepreneur-oriented in creating a happy ecosystem.

We aim to be a “world-class investment group”, creating a happiness ecosystem that cater to the needs of “health, happiness and wealth” from global customers; meanwhile, it is expected that we could make further progress in market capitalization, profitability and financial indicators, maintaining our profit growth rate at 20% or above.

Fosun’s “entrepreneurs” should possess these qualities.In order to achieve these goals, we rely on our employees,

partners and entrepreneurs. Our organization should be “entrepreneur-oriented” in terms of attitude, capability and collaboration.

①Fosun employees should become “problem-solvers”.

②Everyone should go down to the front line.

③Fosun has always been paying attention to “integrity” culture.

④“Hurry up”: We often stress “hurry up” in the DingTalk group and WeChat group of Fosun Link, reminding us to be quick. When we face a problem, we should hurry up to solve the problem. In our annual review, what we appreciate is not how much a team or an individual has achieved, but how many problems the team or individual has solved. Merely fussing around but solving no problem is valueless.

⑤Our organization including our portfolio companies needs to establish a mechanism of “selecting, recruiting, cultivating and retaining” entrepreneurs.

One of the differentiated competitive strategies that Fosun, as an investment group, adopts is to develop the One Fosun platform to coordinate our diversified functions via high technology.

One of the great significances brought by Fosun’s existence lies in its adherence to “value investment”, which means both discovering value and continuously creating value for our invested companies. To complete our mission is to deliver products and services that bring happiness to customers around the world and to make our vision in happy ecosphere and ecosystem possible.

Wang Qunbin:

Fosun Should be Entrepreneur-Oriented

This article provides some of Fosun Executive Director and President Wang Qunbin’s thoughts that he shared at Fosun Group’s morning meeting on every Monday.

This transaction has been beneficial to all parties. Liberty Mutual acquires a profitable insurer in a new market while Ironshore will strengthen Liberty Mutual’s specialty business segment. Also, Ironshore will maintain its competitive position from a rating perspective and be positioned for long-term success.

More importantly, Fosun realizes a reasonable return on its investment. Th is wi l l s t reng then our f inanc ia l strength on one hand, and enable Fosun to accumulate experience throughout t h e e n t i r e v a l u e c h a i n o f g l o b a l investment – “investment, financing, management, and exit”. The transaction also demonstra tes Fosun 's ongoing commitment and focus on maximizing value for its shareholders.

M y f e l l o w c l a s s m a t e s , I t r u s t everyone is well aware that Fosun must continue to grow at its core. Fosun has been expanding our business presence in all dimensions, and continuing to focus on “wisely creating” happiness for our customers. This essence of what we do will never change for any one project.

We must a l so cont inue to inves t g lobal ly. In the fu ture , Fosun wi l l deepen the capability to profoundly help major projects in different regions and industries. Geographically, we must pay attention to opportunities in Europe and the U.S. And we also need to look closely at emerging markets – BRICS and others. In addition, we must foster our “Glocal” (Global + Local) s t ra tegy to local ize our opera t ions when building up our business presence worldwide.

In terms of industry, we must focus on “wealth, health, and happiness”. At the same time, we should also pay attention to C2M, Big Data, AI and robot ics . These can enhance social efficiency. This is especially true as Fosun has already built up its strength in operating diverse businesses. We are participating in the restructuring of d i fferent industr ies , and hoping to be a t the foref ront of the la tes t developments. This is a s ignificant

advantage we have built.Investment is just the beginning,

t h o u g h . Va l u e i s d e r i v e d t h r o u g h m a n a g e m e n t . C o m p a r e d t o h o w th ings have been , nowadays , more and more global enterprises hope to work with Fosun. Why is that? I am sure that it is not because Fosun has become bigger or more influential . Rather, i t i s because of the effor ts a n d h a r d w o r k o f y o u g u y s – o u r fellow classmates over the past few years. You have provided our invested enterprises with competit ive value-a d d e d s e r v i c e s a n d h a v e b r o u g h t a b r o a d e r a n d m o r e i n t e r n a t i o n a l p e r s p e c t i v e t o F o s u n . P e o p l e a r e paying at tent ion to how Fosun can help their business. It is my hope that Fosun i s becoming an ecosys t em, and in this ecosystem, we can deepen o u r i n d u s t r i a l s t r e n g t h s , e n h a n c e ou r g loba l capab i l i t i e s , sha re ou r talent reserves, and generate positive e n e r g y t o s u p p o r t t h e c o n s t a n t development and growth for a l l of you. Ultimately, we can bring a happy life to our customers. Meanwhile, I am emphasizing on this ecosystem, Fosun will make sure to support every invested enterprise in their upstream and downstream value chains. While we a re c rea t ing bus iness synergy, we wil l fos ter inward and outward growth.

In establishing Fosun’s happiness ecosystem, we must also emphasize the cloud strategy and strengthen our middle and back offices. We face uncertainty and poss ib le changes eve ry day – more than we have before. As a global organization, if Fosun were to still rely on conventional management, we would as extinct as the dinosaurs. That is why One Fosun’s Big Data, cloud strategy, and the middle and back offices, based on this new technology, are the most important tasks for Fosun over the next few years. We want to integrate our strength, refine our products, and serve our customers.

Las t ly, I wan t to share th i s . We believe all creative forces are scarce resources, including capital, land, air,

and especially our people. T h i s i s t h e e n e rg y a n d positive force behind the survival of our society, and i t is something we must cherish. As an organization, Fosun is integrating these scarce forces and energies more effectively to promote the progress of society and to provide more happiness for every family. This is o u r b e l i e f a n d F o s u n ’s investment philosophy.

Keep moving forward! Thank you!

IDERA Joins Hands with MITSUI in REIT’s Successful ListingAnother Solid Step for Fosun Property’s “Financialization”

On the morning of 10 December 2016, Fosun Pharma & Intuitive Surgical, Inc. Strategic Cooperation Press Conference and Artificial Intelligence-assisted Precision Medicine Summit was held at Shanghai Ruijin Hotel. Witnessed by Huang Hong, Secretary of Party Committee of Shanghai Municipal Commission of Health and Family Planning, Xulai, Deputy Director General of Shanghai Food and Drug Administration, Zhao Zilin, Chairman of China Association of Medical Equipment, Wang Longxing, Chairman of Shanghai Pharmaceutical Association and Guo Guangchang, Chairman of Fosun Group and Non-executive Director of Fosun Pharma, Chen Qiyu, Chairman of Fosun Pharma and Dr. Gary Guthart, President and Chief Executive Officer of Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “Intuitive Surgical”) announced on site the official commencement of their strategic cooperation in China. The two parties will jointly invest US100 million to establish a joint venture in Shanghai, which will mainly engage in research, production and sale of innovative robotic-assisted catheter-based technology for early-stage diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer. This will be a new product line separate from the da Vinci® Surgical System products developed by Intuitive Surgical.

“Chindex Medical Limited, a holding subsidiary of Fosun Pharma, is a distribution partner for Intuitive Surgical’s da Vinci Surgical Systems in China. Our collaboration with Fosun Pharma started in 2011, and we are proud to be expanding our relationship to explore new and innovative healthcare solutions together,” said Dr. Gary Guthart, President and CEO of Intuitive Surgical. “It is the first time we are establishing a R&D and production center in China. We are looking forward to making this important long-term commitment to China.”

The joint venture will be engaging in the development of medical tools for diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer, both domestically and internationally, in a more convenient, efficient and comfortable way with its motto of “domestic

manufacture, joint R&D and global sales”. Initial product developments will be applicable to the early diagnosis of lung cancer, and whereas R&D work at a later stage will be focused on early and effective treatment of lung cancer.

Currently, lung cancer in China has a mortality rate that is ranked first among all kinds of cancer. Lung cancer is also recognized as the top killer among all cancers globally, with one of five fatal cancer cases being lung cancer.

Chen Qiyu, Chairman of Fosun Pharma, mentioned that “Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world, particularly in China, so the early diagnosis and treatment are extremely important. Intuitive Surgical is a great company driven by cutting-edge technology. We hope that the costs on diagnosis and treatment of Chinese patients suffering from lung cancer would be reduced through the localization of R&D, manufacture and sales by establishing the joint venture company with Intuitive Surgical. We expect that the cooperation will allow doctors to be equipped with innovative medical tools for precise diagnosis in order to upgrade the standard of medical treatment.

Q: What messages does St. John wants to tell to the Chinese modern women?

Mr. Bruce: I think what we would like them to know is that we are a modern fashion brand. What they see from others they will see from us, but in a unique ST. JOHN way. We are very excited that they will get a chance to see our spring 2017 collection and new causal lifestyle Sport Collection. We think the newly launched Sport Collection really fits Chinese women’s lifestyles, as they begin to be more active and dress more casually in their life.

Q: What do you think of Asian market? Are there any rooms to expand in other Asian countries other than the existing ones?

Mr. Bruce: China is our biggest opportunity. Taking back our license from our former franchises is giving us the platform to really start to build and grow the business. China can certainly be the most or second largest business that we should have in the world. In Hong Kong, we have grown from one store to three in the last two years and we are looking forward to adding 4th and 5th stores in the coming year. In Korea, we expect to add two additional stores by the end of this year. We have a wholesales partner in Japan that helped us open stores in Tokyo and Osaka, and we are looking for further store locations with the partner.

Q: Can you tell me more what you see in the trend in luxury buying patterns among Chinese?

Mr. Bruce: What we see in the Chinese clients is people who are internationally and globally thinking about fashion today. They are not regional thinkers. They are thinking about and looking at what people wear in Paris, London, New York and Tokyo. Thus we view them as sophisticated clients that are very interested in fashion and interested in kind of global fashion.

Q: Fosun has invested in so many consumer goods and ST. JOHN is one of them. How will you leverage this great opportunity in the Fosun Family to explore more for the development in the future?

Mr. Bruce: Fosun helped us to recruit our initial staff and supply us with technical, legal, financial and investment resources here in China. I think the investment of Fosun really gave us the confidence to take over the brand in China and do it ourselves. We are looking forward to do more of “Fosun Connections”. Their consumer customer lists are massive, which we can take those customer lists and begin to target those people. It gives us a great chance to have a client base. Fosun has the ability to connect us to celebrities, to people with the Studio 8, that we may be able to start to dress people, and get the product up front to the big screen, and get people talk about the brand.

November 2016, ST. JOHN has launched the brand new line of casual wear in Hong Kong.ST. JOHN Sport, a chic collection of modern silhouettes that combines sport-inspired and luxe-travelling fabrics made to mix and match for effortless ease and wear.

ST. JOHN Reveals its 2017 Spring and Sport Collection

Mr. Tetsuya NAGAO has a strong track record in public and private equity investments in Japan for over 12 years. His investment strategy based on dense domestic network and business understanding which were acquired from his management consultant career has consistently outperformed the return in the market.

Mr. Gong Ping, Global Partner and Vice President of Fosun Group said, “China’s and Japan’s economies complement each other to a high degree. As two closely correlated economies, many brilliant Japanese b rands have a l so become Ch inese househo lds ’ favouri tes. Japan has a strong influence on Asia because it is a well-developed economy and has a mature operating system in its capital market. We are delighted to announce that the equity investment platform in Japan is off icial ly launched. This is an important move by Fosun to push forward with i t s g loba l iza t ion s t ra tegy. Our Japanese equ i ty investment platform is led by a team of outstanding and knowledgeable professionals. With our excellent management and investment team and the multi-indus t ry research capabi l i ty, we wi l l adhere to Fosun’s philosophy of value investing and explore more investment opportunities in the Japanese capital market. At the same time, leveraging Fosun’s dynamic resources and professionalism in all of its business segments , we can ass is t Japanese enterpr ises in providing more high-quality and convenient products and services for households across the world.’’

IDERA Joins Hands with MITSUI in REIT’s Successful ListingAnother Solid Step for Fosun Property’s “Financialization”

by Stephanie Fung

ST. JOHN CEO at its Lee Garden Boutique, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong

Stephanie Fung is from the Public Affairs & Corporate Communications Department of Fosun Group, based in Hong Kong. She is responsible for corporate communications activities in Hong Kong and overseas, including events, corporate branding and media relations etc. She has been appointed as an anchor for several major corporate events, host ing “l ive” dialogues with Fosun’s top management team members.

The IDERA side expressed its view that through the cooperat ion wi th MITSUI, one of the best -performing Japanese conglomerates , and by leveraging the extensive exper ience and distinguished results gathered by IDERA over the years as a leading asset manager, maximum synergy can be unleashed in respect to the REIT project with the combination of the strengths of both parties. This is expected to further boost shareholder interests by way of investment and asset operations conducted in an even broader asset segment.

In addition to the successful listing of REIT, Fosun Property and its affiliated platform company have successfully utilized numerous leading, innovative financial means such as ABS and PPP to proactively diversify financing and exit channels, staying abreast of capital markets at all times. As the most prominent element differentiating i t from conventional real estate developers, “Financialization” represents the most crucial component of the capital operations of Fosun Property as a real estate investor and manager. This entails the involvement in real estate investment from the perspective of capital operations, and the comprehensive combination of capital markets with funds both within and beyond the system. Emphasis is therefore placed on capital and from the standpoint of a capital investor and asset manager in respect of financialization. This is likewise coupled with external financing capabilities and fund management ability, with the use of financialization tools that allow for diversified, multi-channel financing and exit. In recent years, Fosun Property has gradually pursued its transformative upgrade for becoming a “World-Class Real Estate Investor and Investment Manager”, by actively tapping into its “Hive City + Global Landscape” strategies and in line with the market trends of financializaton, globalization and industrialization.
