9,200,000 Ordinary Shares

 
BeyondSpring Inc.
We have entered into an Open Market Sale Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2026, or the sales agreement, with Citizens JMP Securities, LLC, or Citizens, relating to our ordinary shares offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. In accordance with the terms of the sales agreement, we may offer and sell 9,200,000 of our ordinary shares from time to time through Citizens, acting as agent.
Our ordinary shares are listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the symbol “BYSI.” The last reported sales price of our ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC on September 25, 2026 was $0.7772 per share.
Sales of our ordinary shares, if any, under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus may be made in sales deemed to be “at-the-market” equity offerings as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. Citizens is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of securities, but will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell on our behalf all of the ordinary shares requested to be sold by us, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, on mutually agreed terms between Citizens and us. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in any escrow, trust or similar arrangement.
Citizens will be entitled to compensation at a commission rate of up to 3.0% of the gross sales price per ordinary share sold, with the exact amount of ordinary shares to be agreed to by us. In connection with its sale of ordinary shares on our behalf, Citizens may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and the compensation of Citizens may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts.
As of the date of this prospectus supplement, the aggregate market value of our outstanding ordinary shares held by non-affiliates, or the public float, was approximately $41.8 million, which was calculated based on 35,750,770 ordinary shares outstanding held by non-affiliates as of August 3, 2026, and at a price of $1.17 per share, the last reported sales price of our ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC on August 3, 2026. Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, in no event will we sell ordinary shares pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus with a value of more than one-third of the aggregate market value of our public float in any 12-month period, so long as the aggregate market value of our ordinary shares held by non-affiliates is less than $75 million. During the twelve calendar months prior to, and including, the date hereof, we have sold an aggregate of 800,000 ordinary shares for aggregate gross proceeds of $2.0 million pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated November 17, 2025, with Ray Beauty Group Limited.
As a result of these limitations and our current public float, and in accordance with the terms of the sales agreement, we may offer and sell our ordinary shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $11,942,800 from time to time through Citizens. If our public float increases such that we may sell additional amounts under the sales agreement, this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, we will file an amendment to this prospectus supplement prior to making additional sales.
Investing in our ordinary shares involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, please read the information contained in and incorporated by reference under the heading “Risk Factors” on page S-4 of this prospectus supplement and on page 5 of the accompanying prospectus, and under similar headings in the other documents that we have filed or that are filed after the date hereof and incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

BeyondSpring Inc.
Overview
We are a clinical stage global biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative therapies to improve clinical outcomes for patients with high unmet medical needs. Our first-in-class lead asset, Plinabulin, is a novel brain-penetrant microtubule modulator with mechanism as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor H1, or GEF H1, agonist with the biological outcome of dendritic cell maturation, vasculature modulation and reduction of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia, or CIN, which can potentially mitigate “acquired resistance” from prior immune checkpoint inhibitors, or ICI, treatment in cancer patients. Plinabulin has been administered to over 700 cancer patients with generally good tolerability and is being developed as a potential “pipeline in a drug” in various cancer indications as a direct anti-cancer agent with the safety benefit of reducing CIN. After completion of a successful global phase 3 study (DUBLIN-3) in non-small cell lung cancer, or NSCLC, the data of which was published in LANCET Respiratory Medicine journal in September 2024, we plan to launch a confirmatory global phase 3 study (DUBLIN-4) with “plinabulin and docetaxel” versus standard of care docetaxel in second- and third-line non-squamous NSCLC with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) wild type after progression on prior immune checkpoint inhibitors, a severe unmet medical need. We are also developing three small molecule immune agents, which are currently in pre-clinical stages. In addition, we founded and continue to own an equity stake in SEED Therapeutics Inc., or SEED.
Recent Developments
Termination of 2019 ATM Program
On May 21, 2019, we entered into an Open Market Sale AgreementSM, or the 2019 Sales Agreement, with Jefferies LLC, or Jefferies, which was amended on February 7, 2020, in connection with an “at-the-market,” or ATM, program. Pursuant to the 2019 Sales Agreement, we may offer and sell up to 2,202,080 ordinary shares in the aggregate from time to time through Jefferies. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, the Company has sold 630,228 ordinary shares pursuant to the 2019 Sales Agreement. The 2019 Sales Agreement was terminated effective September 9, 2026.
China Divestiture
On September 28, 2026, we entered into a share purchase and collaboration agreement (the “Purchase and Collaboration Agreement”) with Dalian Wanchunbulin Pharmaceuticals Ltd., a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the People’s Republic of China and our majority owned indirect subsidiary (“Bulin”), and Biolin Investment Limited, a limited company formed under the laws of Hong Kong (the “Investor”), pursuant to which and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, we have agreed to sell and transfer to the Investor the entire issued share capital in BeyondSpring Ltd., a BVI company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and our direct wholly owned subsidiary that indirectly holds our interests in Bulin.
As consideration for the transfer of BeyondSpring Ltd., the Investor shall conduct and complete the China portion of DUBLIN-4, a global Phase 3 trial of Plinabulin in combination with docetaxel for the treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer without actionable genomic alterations whose disease has progressed following prior anti-PD-(L)1 antibody therapy and platinum-based chemotherapy, and the Investor shall cause Bulin to take certain actions related thereto, all on the terms and subject to the conditions in the Purchase and Collaboration Agreement. In connection with the strategic collaboration governed by the Purchase and Collaboration Agreement, BeyondSpring will receive certain data related to the China portion of DUBLIN-4. BeyondSpring intends for data generated therefrom to form part of an integrated global clinical dataset in support of BeyondSpring’s registration strategy for Plinabulin.
A portion of our interest in SEED is held indirectly through Bulin and as a result of the strategic transaction described above, our indirect equity interest in SEED will be reduced.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves risks. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks described below, on page 5 of the accompanying prospectus, under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report, any subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K we file after the date of this prospectus supplement, together with all of the other information appearing in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus or incorporated by reference herein or therein, including in light of your particular investment objectives and financial circumstances. In addition to those risk factors, there may be additional risks and uncertainties of which management is not aware or focused on, or that management deems immaterial. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Related to Our Ordinary Shares and this Offering
You will experience immediate dilution in the book value per share of the ordinary shares you purchase.
Since the price per share of our ordinary shares is expected to be substantially higher than the book value per share of the ordinary shares, you may suffer substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the ordinary shares you purchase in this offering.
Furthermore, if outstanding options are exercised, you could experience further dilution. For a further description of the dilution that you will experience immediately after this offering, see the section in this prospectus supplement entitled “Dilution.”
We have broad discretion to determine how to use the funds raised in this offering, and may use them in ways that may not enhance our operating results or the price of our ordinary shares.
Our management will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from this offering, and we could spend the proceeds from this offering in ways our shareholders may not agree with or that do not yield a favorable return in the near term, if at all. We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering to fund our research and development and for general corporate purposes. General corporate purposes may include the acquisition of companies or businesses, repayment and refinancing of debt, working capital, clinical trial expenditures, commercial expenditures and capital expenditures. However, our use of these proceeds may differ substantially from our current plans. You will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used in ways with which you would agree. It is possible that the net proceeds will be invested in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for us. The failure of our management to use such funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flow. See “Use of Proceeds.”
The actual number of ordinary shares we will issue under the ATM Agreement, at any one time or in total, and the gross proceeds resulting from those sales is uncertain.
Subject to certain limitations in the sales agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to request Citizens to sell on our behalf ordinary shares at any time throughout the term of the sales agreement, and Citizens will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the shares. The number of shares that are sold by Citizens after we request that sales be made will fluctuate based on the market price of our ordinary shares during the sales period and limits we set with Citizens. Because the price per ordinary share sold will fluctuate based on the market price of our ordinary shares during the sales period, it is not possible to predict the number of ordinary shares that will ultimately be issued by us, if any, under the sales agreement or the amount of gross proceeds to be raised in connection with those sales. In addition, investors may experience a decline in the value of the shares they purchase in this offering as a result of sales made at prices lower than the prices they paid.
The ordinary shares offered hereby will be sold in “at the market offerings,” and investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.
Investors who purchase shares in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices and accordingly may experience different levels of dilution and different outcomes in their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to market demand and the terms of the sales agreement, to vary the timing, prices and number of shares sold in this offering. In addition, subject to the final determination by our board of directors or any restrictions we may place in any applicable placement notice, there is no minimum or maximum sales price for shares to be sold in this offering. Investors may experience a decline in the value of the shares they purchase in this offering as a result of sales made at prices lower than the prices they paid.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If we fail to regain compliance with the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, our ordinary shares may be delisted and the price of our ordinary shares and our ability to access the capital markets could be negatively impacted.
Nasdaq maintains several requirements for continued listing of our ordinary shares, one of which is the maintenance of a minimum closing bid price of $1.00. On September 17, 2026, we received written notice from Nasdaq notifying us that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for our ordinary shares had closed below the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The notice had no immediate effect on the listing of our ordinary shares, which continues to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “BYSI”. Pursuant to the Nasdaq listing rules, we were provided a period of 180 calendar days, or until March 16, 2027, to regain compliance with the minimum closing bid price requirement of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. If we do not regain compliance with this requirement by March 16, 2027, we may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day compliance period. If we fail to regain compliance during the compliance period (including a second compliance period, if applicable), then Nasdaq will notify us of its determination to delist our ordinary shares, at which point we may appeal Nasdaq’s delisting determination to a Nasdaq hearing panel or pursue other available options to regain compliance.
We intend to actively monitor the closing bid price of our ordinary shares and will consider all available options to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, which may include seeking shareholder approval to effect a reverse stock split. However, there can be no assurance that any such reverse stock split, if approved by the shareholders and implemented, would increase the market price of our ordinary shares in proportion to the reverse split ratio or result in a sustained increase in the market price of our ordinary shares. In addition, it is possible that the reduced number of issued ordinary shares resulting from such a reverse stock split could adversely affect the liquidity of our ordinary shares. There can also be no assurance that we will regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement during the 180-day compliance period, secure a second 180-day period to regain compliance, maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements, or be successful in appealing any delisting determination.
Any potential delisting of our ordinary shares from The Nasdaq Capital Market would likely result in decreased liquidity and increased volatility for our ordinary shares and would adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital or to enter into strategic transactions. Any potential delisting of our ordinary shares from The Nasdaq Capital Market would also make it more difficult for our stockholders to sell our ordinary shares in the public market.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

USE OF PROCEEDS
We may issue and sell up to 9,200,000 shares of our ordinary shares from time to time under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The gross proceeds to us from the sale of these shares would be approximately $7.15 million (assuming an offering price of $0.7772 per share, which was the last reported sale price of our ordinary shares on Nasdaq on September 25, 2026). Because there is no minimum or maximum offering amount required as a condition of this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. There can be no assurance that we will sell any shares under or fully utilize the sales agreement as a source of financing.
We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to fund our research and development and for general corporate purposes. General corporate purposes may include the acquisition of companies or businesses, repayment and refinancing of debt, working capital, clinical trial expenditures, commercial expenditures and capital expenditures.
Our expected use of net proceeds from this offering represents our current intentions based upon our present plans and business condition. The amounts and timing of our actual use of net proceeds will vary depending on numerous factors, including our ability to obtain additional financing, the relative success and cost of clinical and regulatory development programs and the amount and timing of product revenue, if any. In addition, we might decide to postpone or not pursue certain activities if, among other factors, the net proceeds from this offering and our other sources of cash are less than expected. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and investors will be relying on our judgment regarding the application of the net proceeds.

DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never declared or paid cash dividends to our shareholders, and we do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to reinvest any earnings in developing and expanding our business. Any future determination relating to our dividend policy will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on a number of factors, including future earnings, our financial condition, operating results, contractual restrictions, capital requirements, business prospects, our strategic goals and plans to expand our business, applicable law and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.
See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Ordinary Shares—Because we do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, you must rely on price appreciation of the ordinary shares for return on your investment” in our Annual Report.
We are a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. We will rely to some extent on dividends from our U.S. subsidiaries for payment of any dividends to our shareholders.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DILUTION
If you invest in our ordinary shares in this offering, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the offering price per ordinary share and the as adjusted net tangible book value per ordinary share immediately after this offering.
As of June 30, 2026, our net tangible book value was approximately $(36.03) million, or $(0.88) per ordinary share. Our net tangible book value represents our total tangible assets less our total liabilities. Our net tangible book value per ordinary share is our net tangible book value divided by the number of ordinary shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2026.
After giving effect to the issuance and sale by us of 9,200,000 ordinary shares in this offering at an assumed offering price of $0.7772 per ordinary share, which was the last reported sale price of our ordinary shares on Nasdaq on September 25, 2026, and after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2026 would have been approximately $(29.34) million, or $(0.58) per ordinary share. This amount represents an immediate increase in as adjusted net tangible book value of $0.30 per ordinary share to existing shareholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $1.36 per ordinary share to investors purchasing our ordinary shares in this offering, as illustrated in the following table:

The number of ordinary shares shown as issued and outstanding above as of June 30, 2026 does not include 2,915,430 options, of which 2,427,926 were vested (with a weighted average exercise price of $4.33 per share) and 487,504 were unvested (with a weighted average exercise price of $7.13 per share) (of which 208,624 were subject to time-based vesting and 278,880 were subject to performance-based vesting) under the 2017 Incentive Plan.
To the extent that any additional equity awards are granted under our 2017 Incentive Plan in the future, you will experience further dilution. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities may result in further dilution to our shareholders.

The following discussion is a summary of the Cayman Islands, Chinese and U.S. federal income tax considerations relevant to the ownership and disposition of the ordinary shares. The discussion is not intended to be, nor should it be construed as, legal or tax advice to any particular prospective holder. The discussion is based on laws and relevant interpretations thereof as of the date of this prospectus supplement, all of which are subject to change or different interpretations, possibly with retroactive effect. The discussion does not address U.S. state or local tax laws, or tax laws of jurisdictions other than the Cayman Islands and the United States. You should consult your tax advisors with respect to the consequences of the ownership and disposition of the ordinary shares. To the extent that the discussion relates to matters of Cayman Islands tax law, it represents the opinion of Maples and Calder (Hong Kong) LLP, our special Cayman Islands counsel.
Cayman Islands Taxation
The Cayman Islands currently levies no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits, income, gains or appreciation, and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax or estate duty or withholding tax applicable to us or to any holder of the ordinary shares. There are no other taxes likely to be material to us levied by the Government of the Cayman Islands except for stamp duties which may be applicable on instruments executed in, or after execution brought within, the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands. No stamp duty is payable in the Cayman Islands on the issue of shares by, or any transfers of shares of, Cayman Islands companies (except those which hold interests in land in the Cayman Islands). The Cayman Islands is not party to any double tax treaties that are applicable to any payments made to or by our company. There are no exchange control regulations or currency restrictions in the Cayman Islands.
Payments of dividends and capital in respect of the ordinary shares will not be subject to taxation in the Cayman Islands and no withholding will be required on the payment of a dividend or capital to any holder of the ordinary shares, as the case may be, nor will gains derived from the disposal of the ordinary shares be subject to Cayman Islands income or corporation tax.
U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following is a summary of U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to the ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares by U.S. Holders (as defined below). Unless otherwise noted, this summary addresses only U.S. Holders that hold our ordinary shares as “capital assets” (generally, property held for investment) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This summary is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, or the Regulations, judicial decisions, administrative pronouncements, the income tax treaty between the United States and China, or the Treaty, and other relevant authorities, all as in effect as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations (possibly with retroactive effect).
This summary does not address U.S. federal estate, gift or other non-income tax considerations, the alternative minimum tax, the Medicare tax on certain net investment income, or any state, local or non-U.S. tax considerations, relating to the ownership or disposition of our ordinary shares, nor does it address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to a particular U.S. Holder in light of that U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances or that may be relevant to certain types of U.S. Holders subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law, such as:
•
banks and other financial institutions;
•
insurance companies;
•
pension plans;
•
cooperatives;
•
regulated investment companies;
•
real estate investment trusts;
•
broker-dealers;
•
traders that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting;
•
certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;
S-11

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•
tax-exempt entities (including private foundations);
•
persons that acquire our ordinary shares pursuant to any employee share option or otherwise as compensation;
•
persons that hold our ordinary shares as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion, constructive sale or other integrated transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
•
persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar;
•
persons that actually or constructively own 10% or more of our stock (by vote or value); and
•
partnerships or other entities or arrangements subject to tax as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The information set forth below is of a general nature only and is not intended to be tax advice. Each prospective investor should consult its tax advisor with respect to the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and other tax considerations relevant to the ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares in light of its particular circumstances.
For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of our ordinary shares that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
•
an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
•
a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created in, or organized in or under the laws of, the United States or any political subdivision thereof;
•
an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or
•
a trust if (i) a United States court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of the trust’s substantial decisions, or (ii) that has validly elected to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
If a partnership (or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) owns our ordinary shares, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding our ordinary shares and their partners should consult their tax advisors regarding an investment in our ordinary shares.
Tax Residence of BeyondSpring Inc. for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes
Under current U.S. federal income tax law, a corporation is generally considered a tax resident in the jurisdiction of its organization or incorporation. Thus, as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, we should generally be classified as a non-U.S. corporation (and therefore as a non-U.S. tax resident) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In certain circumstances, however, under section 7874 of the Code a corporation organized outside the United States will be treated as a U.S. corporation (and, therefore, as a U.S. tax resident).
In July of 2015, we completed our internal restructuring. Based on the rules in effect at the time of the internal restructuring, we believe that the internal restructuring did not result in us being treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes by virtue of section 7874 of the Code. Nevertheless, because the section 7874 rules and exceptions are complex and subject to factual and legal uncertainties, there can be no assurance that we will not be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The remainder of this discussion assumes that we are not treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in 2025 we became a domestic issuer for purposes of U.S. federal securities law. As a domestic issuer for purposes of U.S. federal securities law, we, among other obligations, must file Annual Reports on Form 10-K and not Form 20-F. Our characterization as a domestic issuer for purposes of U.S. federal securities law does not, however, alter our characterization as a non-U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Distributions
The gross amount of any distributions received by a U.S. Holder on our ordinary shares will generally be subject to tax as dividends to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and will be includible in the gross income of such U.S. Holder on the day actually or constructively received. Such dividends will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction generally allowed to U.S. corporations under the Code. The following discussion assumes that any dividends will be paid in U.S. dollars. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our ordinary shares and thereafter generally as capital gain. We do not intend to determine our earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. Therefore, U.S. Holders should expect that the full amount of any distribution we pay will be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes even if that distribution would otherwise be treated as a non-taxable return of capital or as capital gain under the rules described above.
An individual or other non-corporate U.S. Holder of our ordinary shares may be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on dividends: (i) received from a qualified foreign corporation if such qualified foreign corporation is neither a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) nor treated as such with respect to such U.S. Holder for the taxable year in which the dividend is paid or for the preceding taxable year, and (ii) provided that certain holding period and other requirements are met. A foreign corporation that is not classified as a PFIC is generally treated as a qualified foreign corporation with respect to dividends paid on ordinary shares if such ordinary shares are “readily tradable” on an “established securities market” in the United States. Although our ordinary shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, our ordinary shares may not be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in the current year or subsequent years. As discussed below under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company,” there can be no assurances regarding our PFIC status for any taxable year, and our PFIC status for the current taxable year ending December 31, 2026 is uncertain and will not be determinable until after the close of the year. Dividends paid on our ordinary shares to individuals and other non-corporate U.S. Holders may constitute “qualified dividend income” eligible for reduced rates of taxation if we are a qualified foreign corporation and we are not a PFIC with respect to such U.S. Holders for the taxable year in which the dividend is paid or in the preceding taxable year.
For U.S. foreign tax credit purposes, dividends received on our ordinary shares will generally be treated as income from sources outside the United States and will generally constitute passive category income. The rules regarding foreign tax credits and the deductibility of foreign taxes are complex and the application thereof depends in large part on the U.S. Holder’s individual facts and circumstances. All U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of foreign tax credits and the deductibility of foreign taxes in light of their particular circumstances.
Sale or Other Disposition of Our Ordinary Shares
A U.S. Holder will generally recognize gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of our ordinary shares in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized on the disposition and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our ordinary shares. Any such gain or loss will generally be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period in our ordinary shares exceeds one year at the time of disposition and will generally be U.S. source gain or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Long-term capital gains of individuals and certain other non-corporate U.S. Holders are generally eligible for a reduced rate of taxation relative to the rate applicable to ordinary income. The deductibility of capital losses may be subject to limitations.
Any gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of our ordinary shares will generally be treated as U.S. source income or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. The rules regarding foreign tax credits and the deductibility of foreign taxes are complex and the application thereof depends in large part on the U.S. Holder’s individual facts and circumstances. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences if a foreign tax is imposed on their disposition of our ordinary shares, including with respect to the availability of the foreign tax credit or deduction in lieu thereof in light of their particular circumstances.
Passive Foreign Investment Company
A non-U.S. corporation, such as our company, will be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year in which either (i) 75% or more of its gross income for such year consists of certain types of “passive” income or (ii) 50% or more of the value of its assets (determined on the basis of a quarterly average) during such year is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income.
S-13

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents, annuities, net gains from the sale or exchange of property producing such income and net foreign currency gains. Passive assets are those which give rise to passive income and include assets held for investment, as well as cash, assets readily convertible into cash, and (subject to certain exceptions) working capital. Our company’s goodwill and other unbooked intangibles are taken into account and may be classified as active or passive depending on the income such assets generate or are held to generate. We will be treated as owning a proportionate share of the assets and earning a proportionate share of the income of any other corporation in which we own, directly, indirectly or constructively, 25% or more (by value) of its stock.
Based on an analysis of our income and the value of our assets, we believe that we were not a PFIC for the taxable year ended December 31, 2025. Our PFIC status for the current taxable year ending December 31, 2026 is uncertain will not be determinable until after the close of the year, and it is possible that we may be classified as a PFIC for the current taxable year and for future taxable years. We believe we were a PFIC for each of the 2016–2020 taxable years, and we may have been a PFIC in prior taxable years as well. No assurance can be given with respect to our PFIC status for prior taxable years, the current taxable year, or any future taxable year, however. The determination of whether we are or will become a PFIC is uncertain, because it is a fact-intensive inquiry made on an annual basis that depends, in part, on the composition of our income and assets. Fluctuations in the market price of our ordinary shares may influence whether we are classified as a PFIC for the current or subsequent taxable years because the value of our assets for the purpose of the asset test may be determined by reference to the market price of our ordinary shares from time to time (which may be volatile for biopharmaceutical companies, such as ours, that have not yet achieved commercialization with respect to any of their products). The composition of our income and assets may also be affected by how, and how quickly, we use our liquid assets. Under circumstances where our revenue from activities that produce passive income increases relative to our revenue from activities that produce non-passive income, or where we determine not to deploy cash for active purposes, our risk of being classified as a PFIC will substantially increase. Furthermore, prior to the commercialization of any of our drug candidates, interest and other passive income could constitute more than 75% of our gross income for any taxable year.
If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our ordinary shares, the U.S. Holder will be subject to special tax rules with respect to any “excess distribution” that the holder receives on our ordinary shares and any gain the U.S. Holder recognizes from a sale or other disposition (including a pledge) of our ordinary shares, unless the U.S. Holder makes a “mark-to-market” election as discussed below. Distributions received by a U.S. Holder on our ordinary shares in a taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions the U.S. Holder received in the three preceding taxable years or, if shorter, such U.S. Holder’s holding period for our ordinary shares will be treated as an excess distribution. Under these special tax rules:
•
the excess distribution or gain will be allocated pro rata over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for our ordinary shares;
•
amounts allocated to the current taxable year and to any taxable years in the U.S. Holder’s holding period prior to the first taxable year in which we are classified as a PFIC (each, a “pre-PFIC year”) will be subject to tax as ordinary income;
•
amounts allocated to each prior taxable year, other than a pre-PFIC year, will be subject to tax at the highest marginal tax rate in effect applicable to the U.S. Holder for that year; and
•
an additional tax equal to the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the tax attributable to each prior taxable year, other than a pre-PFIC year.
If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our ordinary shares, we will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such U.S. Holder’s ordinary shares in future taxable years unless (i) we cease to be a PFIC and (ii) the U.S. Holder has made a “deemed sale” election under the PFIC rules. If a U.S. Holder makes a deemed sale election, the U.S. Holder will be deemed to have sold our ordinary shares at their fair market value as of the last day of the last year for which we were a PFIC. Any gain from such deemed sale would be treated as an excess distribution subject to the excess distribution rules described above.
Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of “marketable stock” (as defined below) in a PFIC may make a mark-to-market election for such stock of a PFIC to elect out of the excess distribution tax treatment discussed in the second preceding paragraph. If a U.S. Holder makes a valid mark-to-market election for our ordinary shares, the U.S. Holder will include in income each year an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of our ordinary shares
S-14

TABLE OF CONTENTS

as of the close of such U.S. Holder’s taxable year over such U.S. Holder’s adjusted basis in such ordinary shares. The U.S. Holder is allowed a deduction for the excess, if any, of such U.S. Holder’s adjusted basis in our ordinary shares over their fair market value as of the close of the taxable year. Deductions are allowable, however, only to the extent of any net mark-to-market gains on our ordinary shares included in the U.S. Holder’s income for prior taxable years. Amounts included in the U.S. Holder’s income under a mark-to-market election, as well as gain on the actual sale or other disposition of our ordinary shares, will be treated as ordinary income. Ordinary loss treatment also applies to the deductible portion of any mark-to-market loss on our ordinary shares, as well as to any loss realized on the actual sale or disposition of our ordinary shares, to the extent that the amount of such loss does not exceed the net mark-to-market gains previously included in income with respect to such ordinary shares. The U.S. Holder’s basis in our ordinary shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. If a U.S. Holder makes such a mark-to-market election, then, in any taxable year for which we are a PFIC, tax rules that apply to distributions by corporations which are not PFICs would apply to distributions by us (except that the lower applicable capital gains rate for qualified dividend income would not apply). If a U.S. Holder makes a valid mark-to-market election, and we subsequently cease to be classified as a PFIC, such U.S. Holder will not be required to take into account the mark-to-market income or loss described above during any period that we are not classified as a PFIC.
The mark-to-market election is available only for “marketable stock” which is stock that is traded in other than de minimis quantities on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter(“regularly traded”) on a qualified exchange or other market, as defined in applicable regulations. We expect that our ordinary shares will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, which is a qualified exchange for these purposes, and, consequently, assuming that our ordinary shares are regularly traded, if a U.S. Holder holds our ordinary shares, it is expected that the mark-to-market election would be available to such U.S. Holder were we to be or become a PFIC.
In addition, because, as a technical matter, a mark-to-market election cannot be made for any lower-tier PFICs that we may own, a U.S. Holder may continue to be subject to the PFIC rules with respect to such U.S. Holder’s indirect interest in any such lower-tier PFICs.
We do not intend to provide the information necessary for U.S. Holders to make qualified electing fund elections, which, if available, would result in tax treatment different from the general tax treatment for PFICs described above.
A U.S. Holder that owns our ordinary shares during any taxable year that we are a PFIC must generally file an annual report with the IRS regarding their ownership of such shares. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal income tax considerations with respect to holding and disposing of our ordinary shares if we were, are, or become a PFIC, including the availability and possibility of making a mark-to-market election and the annual PFIC filing requirements, if any.
THE PRECEDING SUMMARY OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS IS INTENDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE TAX ADVICE. U.S. HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSIDERATIONS GENERALLY APPLICABLE TO THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES IN LIGHT OF THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We have entered into a sales agreement, dated September 29, 2026, or the sales agreement, with Citizens under which we may offer and sell up to 9,200,000 of our ordinary shares from time to time through Citizens acting as agent. Sales of our ordinary shares, if any, under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus may be made in sales deemed to be “at-the-market” equity offerings as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act.
The sales agreement allows for the issuance of up to 9,200,000 of our ordinary shares; however, in no event shall the Company issue or sell to or through Citizens such number of shares that exceeds (a) the number or dollar amount of ordinary shares registered on the registration statement and as reflected on this prospectus supplement, pursuant to which the offering is being made, (b) the number of authorized but unissued ordinary shares, or (c) the number or dollar amount of ordinary shares that would cause the Company or the offering of the shares to not satisfy the eligibility and transaction requirements for use of Form S-3, including, if applicable, General Instruction I.B.6 of Registration Statement on Form S-3.
Each time we wish to issue and sell ordinary shares under the sales agreement, we will notify Citizens of the number of shares to be issued, the dates on which such sales are anticipated to be made, any limitation on the number of shares to be sold in any one day and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. Once we have so instructed Citizens, unless Citizens declines to accept the terms of such notice, Citizens has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such shares up to the amount specified on such terms. The obligations of Citizens under the sales agreement to sell our ordinary shares are subject to a number of conditions that we must meet.
The settlement of sales of shares between us and Citizens is generally anticipated to occur on the first trading day following the date on which the sale was made. Sales of our ordinary shares as contemplated in this prospectus supplement will be settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company or by such other means as we and Citizens may agree upon. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.
We will pay Citizens a commission equal to up to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds we receive from each sale of our ordinary shares, with the exact amount to be agreed to by us, or at such other time as we and Citizens agree. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. Citizens is not required to sell any certain number of shares or dollar amount of our ordinary shares, but will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell on our behalf all of the ordinary shares requested to be sold by us, subject to the conditions set forth in the sales agreement. In connection with the sale of the ordinary shares on our behalf, Citizens will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation of Citizens will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to Citizens with respect to certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In addition, we have agreed to reimburse Citizens for the fees and disbursements of its counsel, payable upon execution of the sales agreement, in an amount not to exceed $50,000, in addition to certain ongoing disbursements of its legal counsel. We estimate that the total expenses for the offering, but excluding any sales agent fees or expense reimbursement payable to Citizens under the terms of the sales agreement, will be approximately $50,000.
The offering of our ordinary shares pursuant to the sales agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all ordinary shares subject to the sales agreement or (ii) termination of the sales agreement as permitted therein. We and Citizens may each terminate the sales agreement at any time upon ten days’ prior notice.
This summary of the material provisions of the sales agreement does not purport to be a complete statement of its terms and conditions. A copy of the sales agreement is filed as an exhibit to a report on Form 8-K filed under the Exchange Act, and incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement. See “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference” below.
Citizens and its affiliates may in the future provide various investment banking, commercial banking and other financial services for us and our affiliates, for which services they may in the future receive customary fees. In the course of its business, Citizens may actively trade our securities for its own account or for the accounts of customers.
A prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus in electronic format may be made available on a website maintained by Citizens, and Citizens may distribute the prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus electronically.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
We are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability. We incorporated in the Cayman Islands because of certain benefits associated with being a Cayman Islands corporation, such as political and economic stability, an effective judicial system, a favorable tax system, the absence of foreign exchange control or currency restrictions and the availability of professional and support services. However, the Cayman Islands have a less developed body of securities laws that provide significantly less protection to investors as compared to the securities laws of the United States. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the federal courts of the United States.
Some of our directors and officers are residents of jurisdictions other than the United States and all or a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or our directors and officers, or to enforce against us or them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.
Maples and Calder (Hong Kong) LLP, our counsel as to Cayman Islands law, has advised us that the courts of the Cayman Islands are, unlikely (1) to recognize and enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against us or our directors or officers that are predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States, and (2) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands to impose liabilities against us or our directors or officers that are predicated upon the civil liability provisions of federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any state in the United States so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature.
Maples and Calder (Hong Kong) LLP has further advised us that although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States (and the Cayman Islands are not a party to any treaties for the reciprocal enforcement or recognition of such judgments), the courts of the Cayman Islands will at common law, recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without any re-examination of the merits of the underlying dispute based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the liquidated sum for which such judgment has been given, provided such judgment (1) is given by a foreign court of competent jurisdiction, (2) imposes on the judgment debtor a liability to pay a liquidated sum for which the judgment has been given, (3) is final and conclusive, (4) is not in respect of taxes, a fine or a penalty, (5) was not obtained in a manner and is not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands, (6) not inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgement in respect of the same matter and (7) not impeachable on the grounds of fraud. A Cayman Islands court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

Plinabulin binds in a unique pocket of tubulin and activates the immune defense protein GEF-H1, which leads to indication of innate and adaptive immunity via dendritic cell maturation. We own global rights to Plinabulin in all countries except China. We own a 57.97% interest in our Chinese subsidiary, which owns 100% of the rights to Plinabulin in China.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL
We are a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability and our affairs are governed by our memorandum and articles of association, as amended and restated from time to time and the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands, which is referred to as the Companies Act below, and the common law of the Cayman Islands.
As of June 30, 2025, our authorized share capital was $50,000, consisting of 500,000,000 ordinary shares, par value of U.S. $0.0001 each. As of June 30, 2025, 40,322,320 ordinary shares were issued and outstanding. All of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares are fully paid.
The following are summaries of material provisions of our current amended and restated memorandum and articles of association as adopted by a special resolution of our shareholders passed on February 24, 2017 and that became effective immediately prior to the completion of our initial public offering (“IPO”), in March 2017, insofar as they relate to the material terms of our ordinary shares.
Objects of Our Company
Under our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the objects of our Company are unrestricted and we have the full power and authority to carry out any object not prohibited by the law of the Cayman Islands.
Ordinary Shares
Our ordinary shares are issued in registered form and are issued when registered in our register of members. Our shareholders who are non-residents of the Cayman Islands may freely hold and vote their shares.
Dividends
The holders of our ordinary shares are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by our board of directors. In addition, our shareholders may by ordinary resolution declare a dividend, but no dividend may exceed the amount recommended by our directors. Under Cayman Islands law, dividends may be declared and paid only out of funds legally available therefor, namely out of either profit or our share premium account, provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if this would result in our Company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.
Voting Rights
Voting at any shareholders’ meeting is by show of hands unless a poll (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands) is demanded. A poll may be demanded by the chairman of such meeting or any one or more shareholders who together hold not less than 10% of the voting share capital of our Company present in person or by proxy.
A quorum required for a meeting of shareholders consists of one or more shareholders present and holding not less than a majority of all voting share capital of our Company in issue. Shareholders may be present in person or by proxy or, if the shareholder is a legal entity, by its duly authorized representative. Shareholders’ meetings may be convened by our board of directors on its own initiative or upon a request to the directors by shareholders holding at the date of deposit of the requisition not less than ten percent of our voting share capital in issue. Advance notice of at least seven calendar days is required for the convening of our annual general shareholders’ meeting and any other general shareholders’ meeting.
An ordinary resolution to be passed at a meeting by the shareholders requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes attaching to the ordinary shares cast at a meeting, while a special resolution requires the affirmative vote of no less than two-thirds of the votes attaching to the ordinary shares cast at a meeting. Both ordinary resolutions and special resolutions may also be passed by a unanimous written resolution signed by all the shareholders of our Company, as permitted by the Companies Act and our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. A special resolution will be required for important matters such as a change of name or making changes to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. Holders of the ordinary shares may, among other things, divide or combine their shares by ordinary resolution.
Transfer of Ordinary Shares
Subject to the restrictions set out below, any of our shareholders may transfer all or any of his or her ordinary shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or any other form approved by our board of directors.
7

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our board of directors may, in its absolute discretion, decline to register any transfer of any ordinary share which is not fully paid up or on which we have a lien. Our board of directors may also decline to register any transfer of any ordinary share unless:
•
the instrument of transfer is lodged with us, accompanied by the certificate for the ordinary shares to which it relates and such other evidence as our board of directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer;
•
the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of shares;
•
the instrument of transfer is properly stamped, if required;
•
in the case of a transfer to joint holders, the number of joint holders to whom the ordinary share is to be transferred does not exceed four; and
•
a fee of such maximum sum as the Nasdaq Capital Market may determine to be payable or such lesser sum as our directors may from time to time require is paid to us in respect thereof.
If our board of directors refuse to register a transfer they shall, within two months after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged, send to each of the transferor and the transferee notice of such refusal.
The registration of transfers may, after compliance with any notice required of the Nasdaq Capital Market, be suspended and the register closed at such times and for such periods as our board of directors may from time to time determine, provided, however, that the registration of transfers shall not be suspended nor the register closed for more than 30 days in any year as our board of directors may determine.
Restructuring
A company may present a petition to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands for the appointment of a restructuring officer on the grounds that the company:
(a)
is or is likely to become unable to pay its debts; and
(b)
intends to present a compromise or arrangement to its creditors (or classes thereof) either pursuant to the Companies Act, the law of a foreign country or by way of a consensual restructuring.
The Grand Court may, among other things, make an order appointing a restructuring officer upon hearing of such petition, with such powers and to carry out such functions as the court may order. At any time (i) after the presentation of a petition for the appointment of a restructuring officer but before an order for the appointment of a restructuring officer has been made, and (ii) when an order for the appointment of a restructuring officer is made, until such order has been discharged, no suit, action or other proceedings (other than criminal proceedings) shall be proceeded with or commenced against the company, no resolution to wind up the company shall be passed, and no winding up petition may be presented against the company, except with the leave of the court. However, notwithstanding the presentation of a petition for the appointment of a restructuring officer or the appointment of a restructuring officer, a creditor who has security over the whole or part of the assets of the company is entitled to enforce the security without the leave of the court and without reference to the restructuring officer appointed.
Liquidation
On a return of capital on winding up or otherwise (other than on conversion, redemption or purchase of shares), assets available for distribution among the holders of ordinary shares shall be distributed among the holders of our ordinary shares on a pro rata basis. If our assets available for distribution are insufficient to repay all of the paid-up capital, the assets will be distributed so that the losses are borne by our shareholders proportionately.
Calls on Shares and Forfeiture of Shares
Our board of directors may from time to time make calls upon shareholders for any amounts unpaid on their shares in a notice served to such shareholders at least 14 days prior to the specified time or times of payment. The shares that have been called upon and remain unpaid are subject to forfeiture.
Redemption, Repurchase and Surrender of Ordinary Shares
We may issue shares on terms that such shares are subject to redemption, at our option or at the option of the holders thereof, on such terms and in such manner as may be determined, before the issue of such shares, by our board of directors. Our Company may also repurchase any of our shares (including any redeemable shares) provided that
8

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the manner and terms of such purchase have been approved by our board of directors or by ordinary resolution of our shareholders, or are otherwise authorized by our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. Under the Companies Act, the redemption or repurchase of any share may be paid out of the company’s profits or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose of such redemption or repurchase, or out of capital (including share premium account and capital redemption reserve) if the company can, immediately following such payment, pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. In addition, under the Companies Act no such share may be redeemed or repurchased (a) unless it is fully paid up, (b) if such redemption or repurchase would result in there being no shares outstanding, or (c) if the company has commenced liquidation. In addition, our Company may accept the surrender of any fully paid share for no consideration.
Variations of Rights of Shares
The rights attached to any class or series of shares (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class or series) may, subject to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, be varied with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than two thirds of the issued shares of that class or series or with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a general meeting of the holders of the shares of that class or series. The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu with such existing class of shares.
Issuance of Additional Shares
Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association authorize our board of directors to issue additional ordinary shares from time to time as our board of directors shall determine, to the extent of available authorized but unissued shares.
Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association also authorize our board of directors to establish from time to time one or more series of preferred shares and to determine, with respect to any series of preferred shares, the terms and rights of that series, including:
•
the designation of the series;
•
the number of shares of the series;
•
the dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights; and
•
the rights and terms of redemption and liquidation preferences.
Our board of directors may issue preferred shares without action by our shareholders to the extent authorized but unissued. Issuance of these shares may dilute the voting power of holders of ordinary shares.
Inspection of Books and Records
Holders of our ordinary shares will have no general right under Cayman Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list of shareholders or our corporate records (save for our memorandum and articles of association, our register of mortgages and charges and special resolutions of our shareholders). However, we will provide our shareholders with annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”
Anti-Takeover Provisions
Some provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our Company or management that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that: authorize our board of directors to issue preferred shares in one or more series and to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preferred shares without any further vote or action by our shareholders; and limit the ability of shareholders to requisition and convene general meetings of shareholders.
However, under Cayman Islands law, our directors may only exercise the rights and powers granted to them under our memorandum and articles of association for a proper purpose and for what they believe in good faith to be in the best interests of our Company.
General Meetings of Shareholders and Shareholder Proposals
Our shareholders’ general meetings may be held in such place within or outside the Cayman Islands as our board of directors considers appropriate.
9

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As a Cayman Islands exempted company, we are not obliged by the Companies Act to call shareholders’ annual general meetings. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that we may (but are not obliged to) hold a general meeting in each year as our annual general meeting.
Shareholders’ annual general meetings and any other general meetings of our shareholders may be convened by a majority of our board of directors. Our board of directors shall give not less than seven calendar days’ written notice of a shareholders’ meeting to those persons whose names appear as members in our register of members on the date the notice is given (or on any other date determined by our directors to be the record date for such meeting) and who are entitled to vote at the meeting.
Cayman Islands law provides shareholders with only limited rights to requisition a general meeting, and does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company’s articles of association. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association allow our shareholders holding shares representing in aggregate not less than ten percent of our voting share capital in issue, to requisition an extraordinary general meeting of our shareholders, in which case our directors are obliged to call such meeting and to put the resolutions so requisitioned to a vote at such meeting; however, our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association do not provide our shareholders with any right to put any proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings not called by such shareholders.
Exempted Company
We are an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Act. The Companies Act distinguishes between ordinary resident companies and exempted companies. Any company that is registered in the Cayman Islands but conducts business mainly outside of the Cayman Islands may apply to be registered as an exempted company. The requirements for an exempted company are essentially the same as for an ordinary company except that an exempted company:
•
does not have to file an annual return of its shareholders with the Registrar of Companies;
•
is not required to open its register of members for inspection;
•
does not have to hold an annual general meeting;
•
may issue shares with no par value;
•
may obtain an undertaking against the imposition of any future taxation (such undertakings are usually given for a period of up to 30 years);
•
may register by way of continuation in another jurisdiction and be deregistered in the Cayman Islands;
•
may register as a limited duration company; and
•
may register as a segregated portfolio company.
“Limited liability” means that the liability of each shareholder is limited to the amount unpaid by the shareholder on the shares of the company (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstances in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil).
Register of Members
Under Cayman Islands law, we must keep a register of members and there should be entered therein:
•
the names and addresses of the members, together with a statement of the shares held by each member, and such statement shall confirm (i) the amount paid or agreed to be considered as paid, on the shares of each member (ii) the number and category of shares held by each member, and (iii) whether each relevant category of shares held by a member carries voting rights under the articles of association of the company, and if so, whether such voting rights are conditional;
•
the date on which the name of any person was entered on the register as a member; and
•
the date on which any person ceased to be a member.
Under Cayman Islands law, the register of members of our Company is prima facie evidence of the matters set out therein (i.e. the register of members will raise a presumption of fact on the matters referred to above unless
10

TABLE OF CONTENTS

rebutted) and a member registered in the register of members should be deemed as a matter of Cayman Islands law to have legal title to the shares as set against its name in the register of members. Once our register of members has been updated, the shareholders recorded in the register of members should be deemed to have legal title to the shares set against their name.
If the name of any person is incorrectly entered in, or omitted from, our register of members, or if there is any default or unnecessary delay in entering on the register the fact of any person having ceased to be a member of our company, the person or member aggrieved (or any member of our Company or our Company itself) may apply to the Cayman Islands Grand Court for an order that the register be rectified, and the Court may either refuse such application or it may, if satisfied of the justice of the case, make an order for the rectification of the register.
History of Securities Issuances
The following is a summary of our securities issuances for the past three years.
From January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024, we issued (i) an aggregate of 15,970 ordinary shares upon the exercise of share options granted to our executive officers and employees, with a weighted average exercise price of $0.95 per share; (ii) an aggregate of 101,098 restricted shares to our executive officers and non-employee directors, all of which are fully vested as of the date of this prospectus; (iii) an aggregate of 76,014 ordinary shares upon the achievement of certain time-based and performance-based conditions with respect to research and development progress to one former employee, with a total fair market value equal to RMB 800,000 (approximately $112,000); (iii) 1,271,187 ordinary shares to an investor in a registered offering. The gross proceeds from the offering were approximately $3.0 million, before deducting expenses.
In connection with our initial public offering, we adopted the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan to provide additional incentives to selected directors, officers, employees and consultants, and to enable our Company to obtain and retain the services of these individuals. In March 2021, the shareholders approved the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended and restated effective September 18, 2020 (the “Amended 2017 Plan”), to permit the grant of “incentive stock options.” The Amended 2017 Plan enables us to grant options (including incentive stock options), restricted shares or other awards to our directors, employees and consultants. We authorized 5,277,197 ordinary shares to be available for grant pursuant to awards under the Amended 2017 Plan, and as of June 30, 2025, there were 1,458,297 ordinary shares remaining available for grant. As of June 30, 2025, there were the following outstanding awards under the Amended 2017 Plan: (i) 5,500 unvested restricted shares, all of which were subject to time-based vesting; (ii) 2,737,797 options, of which 2,047,499 were vested (with a weighted average exercise price of $4.88 per share) and 690,298 were unvested (with a weighted average exercise price of $5.38 per share) (of which 411,418 were subject to time-based vesting and 278,880 were subject to performance-based vesting).
Differences in Corporate Law
The Companies Act is derived, to a large extent, from the older Companies Acts of England but does not follow recent United Kingdom statutory enactments, and accordingly there are significant differences between the Companies Act and the current Companies Act of England. In addition, the Companies Act differs from laws applicable to United States corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of the significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Act applicable to us and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States and their shareholders.
Mergers and Similar Arrangements
The Companies Act permits mergers and consolidations between Cayman Islands companies and between Cayman Islands companies and non-Cayman Islands companies. For these purposes, (a) “merger” means the merging of two or more constituent companies and the vesting of their undertaking, property and liabilities in one of such companies as the surviving company and (b) a “consolidation” means the combination of two or more constituent companies into a combined company and the vesting of the undertaking, property and liabilities of such companies to the consolidated company. In order to effect such a merger or consolidation, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation, which must then be authorized by (a) a special resolution of the shareholders of each constituent company and (b) such other authorization, if any, as may be specified in such constituent company’s articles of association. The written plan of merger or consolidation must be filed with the Registrar of Companies together with a declaration as to the solvency of the consolidated or surviving company, a declaration as to the assets and liabilities of each constituent company and an undertaking that
11

TABLE OF CONTENTS

a copy of the certificate of merger or consolidation will be given to the members and creditors of each constituent company and that notification of the merger or consolidation will be published in the Cayman Islands Gazette. Dissenting shareholders have the right to be paid the fair value of their shares (which, if not agreed between the parties, will be determined by the Cayman Islands court) if they follow the required procedures, subject to certain exceptions. Court approval is not required for a merger or consolidation which is effected in compliance with these statutory procedures.
In addition, there are statutory provisions that facilitate the reconstruction and amalgamation of companies, provided that the arrangement is approved by (a) 75% in value of the shareholders or class of shareholders, as the case may be, or (b) a majority in number representing 75% in value of the creditors or each class of creditors, as the case may be, with whom the arrangement is to be made, and that are, in each case, present and voting either in person or by proxy at a meeting, or meetings, convened for that purpose. The convening of the meetings and subsequently the arrangement must be sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. While a dissenting shareholder has the right to express to the court the view that the transaction ought not to be approved, the Grand Court can be expected to approve the arrangement if it determines that:
•
the statutory provisions as to the required majority vote have been met;
•
the shareholders have been fairly represented at the meeting in question and the statutory majority are acting bona fide without coercion of the minority to promote interests adverse to those of the class;
•
the arrangement is such that may be reasonably approved by an intelligent and honest man of that class acting in respect of his interest; and
•
the arrangement is not one that would more properly be sanctioned under some other provision of the Companies Act.
When a takeover offer is made and accepted by holders of 90% of the shares affected within four months, the offeror may, within a two-month period commencing on the expiration of such four month period, require the holders of the remaining shares to transfer such shares on the terms of the offer. An objection can be made to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, but this is unlikely to succeed in the case of an offer which has been so approved unless there is evidence of fraud, bad faith or collusion.
If an arrangement and reconstruction is thus approved, the dissenting shareholder would have no rights comparable to appraisal rights, which would otherwise ordinarily be available to dissenting shareholders of Delaware corporations, providing rights to receive payment in cash for the judicially determined value of the shares.
Shareholders’ Suits
In principle, we will normally be the proper plaintiff to sue for a wrong done to us as a company and a derivative action may ordinarily not be brought by a minority shareholder. However, based on English authority, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority in the Cayman Islands, the Cayman Islands courts can be expected (and have had occasion) to follow and apply the common law principles (namely the rule in Foss v. Harbottle and the exceptions thereto) so that a minority shareholder may be permitted to commence a representative action against, or derivative actions in the name of, our Company to challenge:
•
an act which is ultra vires the company or illegal and is therefore incapable of ratification by the shareholders,
•
an act which constitutes a fraud against the minority where the wrongdoers are themselves in control of the company, or
•
an act which requires a resolution with a qualified (or special) majority (i.e. more than a simple majority) which has not been obtained.
Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers and Limitation of Liability
Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association require us to indemnify every director, alternate director, secretary, assistant secretary, or other officer for the time being and
12

TABLE OF CONTENTS

from time to time of our Company (but not including our auditors) and the personal representatives of the same against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by such indemnified person, other than by reason of such indemnified person’s own dishonesty, willful default or fraud, in or about the conduct of our Company’s business or affairs (including as a result of any mistake of judgment) or in the execution or discharge of his duties, powers, authorities or discretions, including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by such indemnified person in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil proceedings concerning us or our affairs in any court whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere. This standard of conduct is generally the same as permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law for a Delaware corporation.
In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers that provide such persons with additional indemnification beyond that provided in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Directors’ Fiduciary Duties
Under Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its shareholders. This duty has two components: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to shareholders, all material information reasonably available regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director acts in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits self-dealing by a director and mandates that the best interest of the corporation and its shareholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling shareholder and not shared by the shareholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should such evidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, the director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fair value to the corporation.
As a matter of Cayman Islands law, a director of a Cayman Islands company is in the position of a fiduciary with respect to the company and therefore it is considered that he owes the following duties to the company — a duty to act in good faith in the best interests of the company, a duty not to make a personal profit based on his position as director (unless the company permits him to do so), a duty not to put himself in a position where the interests of the company conflict with his personal interest or his duty to a third party and a duty to exercise powers for the purpose for which such powers were intended. A director of a Cayman Islands company owes to the company a duty to act with skill and care. It was previously considered that a director need not exhibit in the performance of his duties a greater degree of skill than may reasonably be expected from a person of his knowledge and experience. However, English and Commonwealth courts have moved towards an objective standard with regard to the required skill and care and these authorities are likely to be followed in the Cayman Islands.
Shareholder Action by Written Consent
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may eliminate the right of shareholders to act by written consent by amendment to its certificate of incorporation. Cayman Islands law and our amended and restated articles of association provide that shareholders may approve corporate matters by way of a unanimous written resolution signed by or on behalf of each shareholder who would have been entitled to vote on such matter at a general meeting without a meeting being held.
Shareholder Proposals
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with the notice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governing documents, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings.
13

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Cayman Islands law provides shareholders with only limited rights to requisition a general meeting, and does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in articles of association. Our amended and restated articles of association allow our shareholders holding not less than ten percent of all voting power of our share capital in issue to requisition a shareholder’s meeting, in which case our board of directors is obliged to call such meeting and to put the resolutions so requisitioned to a vote at such meeting. Other than this right to requisition a shareholders’ meeting, our amended and restated articles of association do not provide our shareholders other right to put proposal before a meeting. As an exempted Cayman Islands company, we are not obliged by law to call shareholders’ annual general meetings.
Cumulative Voting
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the corporation’s certificate of incorporation specifically provides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholder to cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director. There are no prohibitions in relation to cumulative voting under the laws of the Cayman Islands but our amended and restated articles of association do not provide for cumulative voting. As a result, our shareholders are not afforded any less protections or rights on this issue than shareholders of a Delaware corporation.
Removal of Directors
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under our amended and restated articles of association, directors may be removed with or without cause, by an ordinary resolution of our shareholders.
Transactions with Interested Shareholders
The Delaware General Corporation Law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware corporations whereby, unless the corporation has specifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain business combinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholder, generally, is a person who, or a group which, owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting share within the past three years. This has the effect of limiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a two-tiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if, among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware corporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.
Cayman Islands law has no comparable statute. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delaware business combination statute. However, although Cayman Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, it does provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and for a proper purpose and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on the minority shareholders.
Dissolution; Winding up
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding 100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of the corporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority voting requirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board.
Under Cayman Islands law, a company may be wound up by either an order of the courts of the Cayman Islands or by a special resolution of its members or, if the company is unable to pay its debts as they fall due, by an ordinary resolution of its members. The court has authority to order winding up in a number of specified circumstances
14

TABLE OF CONTENTS

including where it is, in the opinion of the court, just and equitable to do so. Under the Companies Act and our amended and restated articles of association, our Company may be dissolved, liquidated or wound up by a special resolution of our shareholders, or by an ordinary resolution on the basis that our Company is unable to pay its debts as they fall due.
Variation of Rights of Shares
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under Cayman Islands law and our amended and restated articles of association, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class with the written consent of the holders of not less than two thirds of the issued shares of that class or with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a general meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.
Amendment of Governing Documents
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation’s governing documents may be amended with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under Cayman Islands law, our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association may only be amended with a special resolution of our shareholders.
Rights of Non-resident or Foreign Shareholders
There are no limitations imposed by our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on our shares. In addition, there are no provisions in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our ordinary shares is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.
Listing
Our ordinary shares are listed on the Nasdaq under the symbol “BYSI.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We may sell or distribute our ordinary shares from time to time in one or more public or private transactions:
•
through underwriters;
•
through agents;
•
to dealers;
•
directly to one or more purchasers;
•
in “at the market” offerings, within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act, to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market on an exchange or otherwise;
•
in block trades;
•
through a combination of any of the above; and
•
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
Any sale or distribution may be effected by us:
•
at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;
•
at varying prices determined at the time of sale; or
•
at negotiated or fixed prices.
At any time a particular offer of the ordinary shares is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed and set forth the terms of each specific offering, including the name or names of any underwriters or agents, the purchase price of the ordinary shares and the proceeds to us from such sales or distribution, any delayed delivery arrangements, any underwriting discounts and other items constituting underwriters’ compensation, any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers. Any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.
In addition, we may distribute the ordinary shares as a dividend or in a rights offering to our existing security holders. In some cases, we or dealers acting for us or on behalf of us may also repurchase the ordinary shares and reoffer them to the public by one or more of the methods described above.
Through Underwriters
If underwriters are used in a sale or distribution, the ordinary shares will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The ordinary shares may be offered to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. The underwriter or underwriters with respect to a particular underwritten offering and, if an underwriting syndicate is used, the managing underwriter or underwriters will be set forth on the cover of such prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise set forth in the prospectus supplement, the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the ordinary shares if any are purchased.
During and after an offering through underwriters, the underwriters may purchase and sell or distribute the ordinary shares in the open market. These transactions may include overallotment and stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover syndicate short positions created in connection with the offering. The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid, under which selling concessions allowed to syndicate members or other broker-dealers for the ordinary shares they sell or distribute for their account may be reclaimed by the syndicate if the syndicate repurchases the ordinary shares in stabilizing or covering transactions. These activities may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the ordinary shares, which may be higher than the price that might otherwise prevail in the open market, and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.
Through Agents or to Dealers
We may sell or distribute the ordinary shares directly or through agents we designate from time to time. Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, any such agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.
16

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If dealers are used in any of the sales or distribution of the ordinary shares covered by this prospectus, we will sell those ordinary shares to dealers as principals. The dealers may then resell the ordinary shares to the public at varying prices the dealers determine at the time of resale.
Direct Sales
We may sell or distribute the ordinary shares directly to institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any sale thereof.
Delayed Delivery
If so indicated in a prospectus supplement, we may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers from certain types of institutions to purchase the ordinary shares from us at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. These contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus supplement will set forth the commission payable for solicitation of such contracts.
Derivative Transactions and Hedging
We and the underwriters may engage in derivative transactions involving the ordinary shares. These derivatives may consist of short sale transactions and other hedging activities. The underwriters may acquire a long or short position in the ordinary shares, hold or resell ordinary shares acquired and purchase options or futures on the ordinary shares and other derivative instruments with returns linked to or related to changes in the price of the ordinary shares. In order to facilitate these derivative transactions, we may enter into security lending or repurchase agreements with the underwriters. The underwriters may carry out the derivative transactions through sales or distributions of the ordinary shares to the public, including short sales, or by lending the ordinary shares in order to facilitate short sale transactions by others. The underwriters may also use the ordinary shares purchased or borrowed from us or others (or, in the case of derivatives, ordinary shares received from us in settlement of those derivatives) to directly or indirectly settle sales of the ordinary shares or close out any related open borrowings of the ordinary shares.
Loans of Securities
We may loan or pledge the ordinary shares to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the ordinary shares using this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement.
General
Agents, dealers and direct purchasers that participate in the distribution of the offered ordinary shares may be underwriters as defined in the Securities Act and any discounts or commissions they receive from us and any profit on the resale of the offered ordinary shares by them may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Agents, dealers and underwriters may be entitled under agreements entered into with us to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments which such agents, dealers or underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof. Agents, dealers and underwriters may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services on our behalf.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
We are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability. We incorporated in the Cayman Islands because of certain benefits associated with being a Cayman Islands corporation, such as political and economic stability, an effective judicial system, a favorable tax system, the absence of foreign exchange control or currency restrictions and the availability of professional and support services. However, the Cayman Islands have a less developed body of securities laws that provide significantly less protection to investors as compared to the securities laws of the United States. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the federal courts of the United States.
A portion of our assets, including certain Chinese patents, are located in China. In addition, some of our directors and officers are residents of jurisdictions other than the United States and all or a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or our directors and officers, or to enforce against us or them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.
Maples and Calder (Hong Kong) LLP, our counsel as to Cayman Islands law, and Beijing Dacheng Law Offices, LLP, our counsel as to Chinese law, have respectively advised us that the courts of the Cayman Islands and China are, respectively, unlikely (1) to recognize and enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against us or our directors or officers that are predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States, and (2) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands to impose liabilities against us or our directors or officers that are predicated upon the civil liability provisions of federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any state in the United States so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature.
Maples and Calder (Hong Kong) LLP has further advised us that although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States (and the Cayman Islands are not a party to any treaties for the reciprocal enforcement or recognition of such judgments), the courts of the Cayman Islands will at common law, recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without any re-examination of the merits of the underlying dispute based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the liquidated sum for which such judgment has been given, provided such judgment (1) is given by a foreign court of competent jurisdiction, (2) imposes on the judgment debtor a liability to pay a liquidated sum for which the judgment has been given, (3) is final and conclusive, (4) is not in respect of taxes, a fine or a penalty, (5) was not obtained in a manner and is not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands, (6) not inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgement in respect of the same matter and (7) not impeachable on the grounds of fraud. A Cayman Islands Court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.
Beijing Dacheng Law Offices, LLP has advised us that the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under the PRC Civil Procedure Law. Chinese courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedure Law based either on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on principles of reciprocity between jurisdictions. Beijing Dacheng Law Offices, LLP has advised us further that under Chinese law, courts in China will not recognize or enforce a foreign judgment against us or our directors and officers if they decide that the judgment violates the basic principles of Chinese law or national sovereignty, security or social public interest. As there exists no treaty or other form of reciprocity between China and the United States governing the recognition and enforcement of judgments as of the date of this prospectus, including those predicated upon the liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws, there is uncertainty whether and on what basis a Chinese court would enforce judgments rendered by United States courts. In addition, because there is no treaty or other form of reciprocity between the Cayman Islands and China governing the recognition and enforcement of judgments as of the date of this prospectus, there is further uncertainty as to whether and on what basis a PRC court would enforce judgments rendered by a Cayman Islands court.
