On August 8, 2013, China Biologic Products, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a credit facility agreement (the “Facility Agreement”) with China Merchants Bank Co., Ltd., New York Branch (the “Lender”). Pursuant to the Facility Agreement, the Lender grants the Company a facility of up to US$30 million (the “Facility”) bearing an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.60% per annum and a facility fee of 0.7% per annum, payable every three months. The maturity date of the loan borrowed under this Facility is the earlier of (i) 18 months from the borrowing date or (ii) ten business days prior to the expiration or termination of a standby letter of credit issued by China Merchants Bank Co., Ltd., Beijing Branch (the “Guarantor”) in favor of the Lender (the “Letter of Credit”). Shandong Taibang Biological Products Co., Ltd., the Company’s majority-owned PRC subsidiary, provides a cash deposit collateral of RMB186 million equivalent to the Guarantor as security for the Letter of Credit pursuant to a guarantee agreement (the “Guarantee Agreement”). The Facility Agreement contains customary covenants, including but not limited to, limitations on liens, mergers and consolidations, change in the nature of business, ownership of subsidiaries and transaction with affiliates, etc. The Company will draw down this Facility and use the proceeds therefrom to repurchase certain shares held by Ms. Lin Ling Li.
