The acquisition of leading FISH racetrack companies is expected to achieve business resonance with Maxin. Established in 2014, Longjin Biotech is committed to the field of pathological diagnosis technology, focusing on the cutting edge of pathomedicine, independently designing, developing, producing, and commercializing pathological diagnostic reagents, instruments, and software. Especially in the FISH field, the company currently has more than 400 types of probes. It has the most complete human all-gene BAC clone library in China, and has mastered various probe preparation processes. It is an industry-leading enterprise in this segment. According to the announcement, in 2023, Longjin Biotech achieved operating income of 5.4417 million yuan and a loss of 12.2384 million yuan. Maixin Biotech has been deeply involved in pathological diagnosis for many years, and has established long-term and stable cooperative relationships with more than 4,000 partners across the country, and has strong synergy with Longjin Biotech's business. In the future, Longjin Biotech is expected to make full use of Maixin Biotech's existing customer resources and utilize the channel advantages and brand effects of Jiujiang Biotech's investment. It is expected to achieve a high revenue growth rate and achieve leapfrog development within the next 5 years; at the same time, Longjin Biotech itself will also contribute important strategic significance to Maixin Biotech's supplement product pipeline and build a platform-based enterprise.

The performance promises a compound revenue growth of 30+%, and is expected to enhance the company's performance after subsequent consolidation. According to the announcement, Longjin Biotech, its founding shareholders and its actual controller promised that Longjin Biotech's 2024-2026 revenue should not be less than 5 million yuan, 8 million yuan, and 12 million yuan respectively, corresponding to annual revenue growth of -8%, 60%, and 50% year-on-year, corresponding to a compound revenue growth rate of about 30.2% in 2023-2026; or the cumulative revenue for 3 years should not be less than 25 million yuan. If this commitment is not fulfilled, Longjin Biotech, its founding shareholders, and their actual controller are required to pay cash compensation of 50% of the difference in income according to the performance assessment and actual realized income; if the promise is completed, the actual revenue value exceeds the performance commitment indicator* 20% bonus to Longjin Biotech's management. This performance promise shows Longjin Biotech's full confidence in medium- to long-term development. At the same time, it is also expected to deeply bind relevant management teams to corporate interests and stimulate team enthusiasm. Furthermore, within 12 months of the completion of this transaction, Maixin Biotech can acquire no less than 27% of Qianjin Biotech's shares at an average purchase price of no more than 6.66 yuan/1 yuan of registered capital. At that time, Maixin Biotech is expected to become the shareholder of Longjin Biotech Holdings and achieve the target merger, which is expected to further enhance the performance of Jiujiang Biotech.
