The parties to the Release Agreement confirmed that Zhengji Pharmacy’s performance targets as stipulated in the Stock Purchase Agreement dated April 11, 2019 (as amended on February 6, 2020, the “Pharmacy Purchase Agreement”) will not be met, and therefore the Pharmacy Sellers will not be eligible to receive the Cash Consideration or any other additional payment under the Pharmacy Purchase Agreement.

The closing is expected to take place late December 2020.
“We are taking actions to optimize our business structure, including engaging strategic partners, exiting unprofitable product lines as well as selling underperforming businesses,” said Mr. Tiewei Song, Chief Executive Officer and President of BOQI International Medical Inc. “BIMI is currently focusing on deeper penetration of the southwest market and has established a pharmacy chain in Chongqing, the biggest city in the southwest region.
