The issue price is HK$ 30.5 per share. The stock opened at HK$ 31 per share, representing a market cap of HK$ 13.1 billion.

Founded in 2011, Microtech Medical has been focused on diabetes management, providing both diabetes

treatment and diabetes monitoring medical devices to improve diabetes management in China and globally. Microtech has a diverse pipeline of self-developed product candidates, including closed loop artificial pancreas, second generation patch insulin pump system, AiDEX X and IVD devices. According to CIC Report, Microtech is the only company globally that has received regulatory approval for patch insulin pumps and calibration-free continuous glucose monitoring systems.

Microtech has demonstrated strong commercial capacity. As of date, Microtech's two products are in the commercialization stage. The company's core product Equil was the second commercialized semi-disposable patch insulin pump globally and the only patch insulin pump that received regulatory approval in China and EU markets. AiDEX G7 is the second commercialized calibration-free real-time CGMS in the world. AiDEX G7 completed a clinical trial in China in May 2020 and the NMPA accepted its registration application in Q1' 2021. When approved, AiDEX G7 is expected to be the first calibration-free CGMS approved for commercialization in China.

Microtech is building a model for diabetes management. With the synergistic platform consolidating R&D, manufacturing and commercialization capabilities, Microtech will continue to focus on the whole-process management of diabetes, forming a closed-loop model of monitoring, treatment, and chronic disease management.
