Dr. Su has been selected and appointed to his additional role as the CEO, as part of the Company’s ongoing succession planning. Dr. Su, has been with HUTCHMED for about 17 years, including about 10 years as Chief Scientific Officer and almost five years as Executive Director. He has been responsible for the establishment of all aspects of the oncology/immunology innovation platform which led to the in-house discovery of 12 novel oncology drug candidates, the first three of which have achieved approval and successful commercial launch. Weiguo SU “On behalf of the Board, I would like to congratulate Dr. Su on his appointment to CEO of HUTCHMED and wish him great success in this well-deserved appointment. I would also like to extend our deepest appreciation to Christian for his contributions and wish him the best in his retirement. Christian was the first employee of HUTCHMED twenty-two years ago and he has worked tirelessly to build the Company from its very beginning into the truly globally facing biopharmaceutical company it is today. Christian will remain as a strategic advisor to the Company, with an emphasis on organizational development, relations with our partners, global commercialization strategy and investor relations matters.” “After over 34 years away, and 27 years in China, I have taken the decision to return home to Europe to focus on, and be close to, my important family responsibilities. I am glad to see the Board’s new appointment of Dr. Weiguo Su, one of the industry’s most respected leaders, and a person who I believe, with the support of our board and deeply experienced senior management team, will take HUTCHMED to greater heights.” Simon To Chairman Christian Hogg 4 RETIREMENT OF CEO AND APPOINTMENT OF NEW CEO“ 2021 was an exceptional year for HUTCHMED ” SIMON TO, CHAIRMAN Commercial success on ELUNATE® and the launches of SULANDA® and ORPATHYS® contributed to an almost four-fold increase in consolidated oncology/immunology revenues to $119.6 million, with momentum continuing in 2022. ORPATHYS® took a major step forward in 2021 with its first approval and important, and as yet unpublished, data from the SAVANNAH study in combination with TAGRISSO®. We and our partner AstraZeneca initiated four Phase III studies and one Phase II study, with registration potential, for ORPATHYS® during 2021. These actions have triggered $40 million in milestone payments to HUTCHMED since mid-2021. A seventh registration study, a global Phase III in NSCLC, the SAFFRON study, is set to initiate in mid-2022. We are rapidly progressing our plan to expand our oncology assets into global markets. Led by our team of over 800-personnel in discovery, development and manufacturing operations, we have an un-equaled fifteen-year track-record of producing high quality novel oncology/ immunology drug candidates. enrollment was completed for fruquintinib in a fourteen-country global Phase III study, the FRESCO-2 study, in CRC which reads-out later in 2022; positive and differentiated POC data was presented for amdizalisib and sovleplenib; and our FGFR, IDH1/2, ERK, third generation BTK and CSF-1R inhibitors all made good progress in early development. With a strong track record in bringing innovative drugs to patients through rigorous clinical trials, our seasoned clinical team is now enrolling 13 registration studies for six assets with an additional 5 registration studies set to initiate in 2022. With over $1 billion in cash, and the intention to divest further non-core assets, we anticipate having sufficient runway to see our plans through. Our strategy is to launch a stream of new products in both the China and global markets over the coming years, helping patients with unmet needs and creating value for all our stakeholders. Seven of our assets are now being developed outside China. In addition to the global progress of ORPATHYS®, surufatinib’s U.S. NDA and EU MAA are in the later stages of regulatory review for advanced NETs; Simon To Chairman March 3, 2022 AstraZeneca = AstraZeneca PLC and its wholly owned subsidiary, AstraZeneca AB (publ) NSCLC = Non-small cell lung cancer NDA = New Drug Approval MAA = Marketing Authorisation Application NET = Neuroendocrine tumors CRC = Colorectal cancer POC = Proof of concept FGFR = Fibroblast growth factor receptor IDH = Isocitrate dehydrogenase ERK = Extracellular signal-regulated kinase BTK = Bruton’s tyrosine kinase CSF-1R = Colony stimulating factor-1 receptor All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.

As the world is gradually adapting to the changes brought about by COVID-19, the pandemic has highlighted the importance of building sustainability and environmental, social and governance factors into business strategy. HUTCHMED has embarked on our sustainability journey in 2020 by publishing our inaugural ESG report to demonstrate our efforts, and establishing a board level Sustainability Committee in 2021 to support the Board of Directors in fulfilling their responsibilities. We plan to publish our second sustainability report for 2021 at the end of May 2022. Going forward, HUTCHMED will be working with our stakeholders to embrace sustainable business practices and develop a sustainability strategy that will help focus our efforts on areas which are most relevant to our business. Through a materiality assessment exercise for 2021, priority areas include: Business ethics; Drug research-related topics; Drug development; Commercial operations responsibilities; Environmental topics; and Management of our people. Over the course of 2022, we will continue to engage our stakeholders to identify areas for improvement to building a more sustainable and responsible future. Divestment of further non-core operations, we continue to look for opportunities to divest non-core businesses, including SHPL, to better focus on the development and global commercialization of our innovation-driven assets; and Large molecule advancement, we continue to evaluate opportunities which might accelerate our capabilities in the large molecule arena. • • 12 2021 FULL YEAR RESULTS & BUSINESS UPDATESCash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments were $1,011.7 million as of December 31, 2021 compared to $435.2 million as of December 31, 2020. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $356.1 million compared to $228.0 million in 2020. Adjusted Group (non-GAAP40) net cash flows excluding financing activities were -$73.5 million (2020: -$78.4m), with the net decrease mainly due to $159.1 million in proceeds from the divestment of HBYS, which offset the increasing Oncology/Immunology R&D spending and lower dividends received from our non-consolidated joint ventures totaling $49.9 million (2020: $86.7m); and Net cash generated from financing activities totaled $650.0 million (2020: $296.4m) mainly resulting from the global offering of shares and listing on the HKEX in June 2021 and a private placement in April 2021 to a fund affiliated with Baring Private Equity Asia. • Oncology/Immunology consolidated revenues increased 296% (287% at CER) to $119.6 million (2020: $30.2m) resulting from: ELUNATE® revenues increased 168% to $53.5 million (2020: $20.0m) in manufacturing revenues, promotion and marketing service revenues and royalties, as our in-house sales team increased in-market sales 111% to $71.0 million (2020: $33.7m), as provided by Lilly41; SULANDA® sales revenues of $11.6 million since mid-January 2021 launch, initially approved to treat patients with advanced extra-pancreatic (non-pancreatic) NET and subsequently also approved to treat patients with pancreatic NET in June 2021; ORPATHYS® revenue of $36.3 million since mid-July 2021 launch, which was comprised of a $25.0 million first sale milestone payment and $11.3 million in manufacturing revenues and royalties. AstraZeneca reported $15.9 million in-market sales (2020: nil) of ORPATHYS® in 2021; and Other R&D service fee revenues of $18.2 million (2020: $10.2m), which were primarily fees from AstraZeneca and Lilly for the management of development activities in China. • Other Ventures consolidated revenues increased 20% (13% at CER) to $236.5 million (2020: $197.8m), mainly due to continued sales growth of third-party prescription drug products. • • 14 FULL YEAR 2021 FINANCIAL RESULTSNet Expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $550.7 million compared to $353.7 million in 2020. Net Loss attributable to HUTCHMED for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $194.6 million compared to $125.7 million in 2020. • As a result, the net loss attributable to HUTCHMED in 2021 was $0.25 per ordinary share/$1.23 per ADS43, compared to net loss attributable to HUTCHMED of $0.18 per ordinary share/$0.90 per ADS, in 2020. • • • • Cost of Revenues were $258.2 million (2020: $188.5m), the majority of which were the cost of third-party prescription drug products marketed through our profitable Other Ventures, as well as full year costs associated with ELUNATE®, including the provision of promotion and marketing services to Lilly which commenced in October 2020, and the costs for SULANDA® and ORPATHYS® which commenced commercial sales in 2021; R&D Expenses were $299.1 million (2020: $174.8m), which increased mainly as a result of an expansion in the active development of eleven novel oncology drug candidates. Our rapidly scaling international clinical and regulatory operations in the U.S. and Europe incurred expenses of $140.1 million (2020: $63.3m), while R&D expenses in China were $159.0 million (2020: $111.5m); SG&A Expenses42 were $127.1 million (2020: $61.3m), which increased primarily due to higher staff costs and share-based compensation expense to support rapidly expanding operations. This included the build-up of a large-scale national oncology commercial infrastructure in China and commercial launch readiness in the U.S. to support our oncology products; and Other Items generated net income of $133.7 million (2020: $70.9m), which increased primarily due to a one-off gain on the divestment of HBYS attributable to the Group of $82.9 million (comprised of a gain of $121.3 million offset in part by related taxes of $14.4 million and amounts attributable to a non-controlling interest of $24.0 million), offset in part by lower one-time land compensation of $5.6 million (2020: $28.8m) recognized for HBYS.

The only other approved and NRDL reimbursed product in third-line CRC in China is STIVARGA®. LONSURF®, a nucleoside metabolic and thymidine phosphorylase inhibitor, is approved in China for third-line CRC but is not on the NRDL. We have advanced 13 oncology drug candidates into clinical trials in China, with seven also in clinical development in the U.S. and Europe. Our first three drug candidates, fruquintinib, surufatinib and savolitinib, have all been approved and launched in China. Surufatinib (SULANDA® in China) SULANDA® was launched in China in 2021 for the treatment of all advanced NETs for which there is an approximate incidence of 34,000 new patients per year in China. MARKETED PRODUCT SALES Fruquintinib (ELUNATE® in China) ELUNATE® is approved for the treatment of third-line metastatic CRC for which there is an approximate incidence of 83,000 new patients per year in China. We estimate that in 2021, approximately 22,000 new patients were treated with ELUNATE® in China with resulting in-market sales of $71.0 million, up 111% versus 2020 ($33.7m). Under the terms of our agreement with Lilly, HUTCHMED manages all on-the-ground medical detailing, promotion and local and regional marketing activities for ELUNATE® in China. We consolidate as revenues approximately 70-80% of ELUNATE® in-market sales from service fees and royalties paid to us by Lilly. In 2021, we consolidated $53.5 million in revenue for ELUNATE®, equal to 75.4% of in-market sales. Following negotiations with the China National Healthcare Security Administration (“NHSA”), ELUNATE® continues to be included in the NRDL for a new two-year term starting in January 2022. For this renewal, we agreed to a discount of 5% relative to the 2021 NRDL price. During 2021, our medical marketing and affairs teams conducted about 4,800 educational/scientific events for ELUNATE® in China. As a result of the above activities, ELUNATE® continues to expand with unaudited in-market sales in the months of January and February 2022 increasing 51% to $21.6 million (Jan-Feb 2021: $14.3 million). In January 2022, a total of 5,473 new and continuing patients were treated with ELUNATE® representing a 50% increase as compared to 3,661 in January 2021. In 2021, SULANDA® was sold as a self-pay drug. We used means-tested early access and patient access programs to help patients afford SULANDA®, and we estimate that approximately 4,800 new patients were treated. Despite these access programs, duration of treatment was often affected by the economic constraints of patients. As a result, total sales in 2021 were $11.6 million (2020: nil). Following negotiations with the China NHSA, SULANDA® was included in the NRDL starting in January 2022 at a 52% discount on our main 50mg dosage form, relative to the 2021 self-pay price. Under the NRDL, actual out-of-pocket costs for patients in 2022 represent approximately 15-20% of the 2021 self-pay price. During 2021, we introduced SULANDA® through a campaign of local, regional and national launch events involving approximately 12,000 healthcare professionals. As a result of the above activities, patient access to SULANDA®, as well as duration of treatment, are increasing with unaudited in-market sales for the months of January and February 2022 up 21% to $6.0 million (Jan-Feb 2021: $4.9m). It should be noted that January and February 2021 in-market sales included normal pipeline fill behind the initial launch of SULANDA® whereas January and February 2022 figures represent consumption sales. In January 2022, a total of 1,497 new and continuing patients were treated with SULANDA® representing an over 7-fold increase as compared to 213 in January 2021. There are two therapies for advanced NETs approved and NRDL reimbursed in China: SUTENT® for the treatment of pancreatic NET (approximately 10% of NET), and AFINITOR® in broadly the same indication as SULANDA®. HUTCHMED (China) Limited 2021 Annual Report 19 OPERATIONS REVIEW – ONCOLOGY/IMMUNOLOGYSavolitinib (ORPATHYS® in China) Savolitinib – Lung cancer: On June 22, 2021, ORPATHYS® became the first-in-class selective MET inhibitor to be approved in China. Our partner, AstraZeneca, then launched ORPATHYS® in mid-July 2021, less than three weeks after its conditional approval by the NMPA for patients with MET exon 14 skipping alteration NSCLC. MET plays an important role in NSCLC. Savolitinib has made significant development progress in lung cancer, completing NMPA NDA review, gaining approval and successfully launching as a monotherapy in China. It is also now in multiple late stage registrational studies as a combination therapy. More than a third of the world’s lung cancer patients are in China and, among those with NSCLC, approximately 2-3% have tumors with MET exon 14 skipping alterations, representing an approximate incidence of 13,000 new patients per year in China. Importantly also, MET plays a role in multiple other solid tumors, with an estimated total incidence of 120,000 new patients per year in China. In-market sales of ORPATHYS® since its launch in July 2021 were $15.9 million (2020: nil) resulting in our consolidation of $11.3 million (2020: nil) in revenues from manufacturing fees and royalties. We estimate that approximately 1,900 patients were treated with ORPATHYS® in 2021. Following negotiations with the China NHSA, AstraZeneca and HUTCHMED declined inclusion in the 2022 NRDL, a position that will be reassessed for potential 2023 inclusion. AstraZeneca introduced a patient access program in late 2021 which subsidizes use of ORPATHYS®, through progressive disease. As a result, in- market sales for ORPATHYS® have started strongly in 2022 with unaudited in-market sales in the months of January and February 2022 of $7.4 million (Jan-Feb 2021: nil). ORPATHYS® is the first and only selective MET inhibitor on the market in China, however XALKORI® is an approved multi-kinase inhibitor of ALK and ROS1 with modest MET activity. Several selective MET inhibitors are in development in China, but none are currently expected to reach the market before 2023. RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT SAVOLITINIB (ORPATHYS® IN CHINA) Savolitinib is an oral, potent, and highly selective oral inhibitor of MET. In global partnership with AstraZeneca, savolitinib has been studied in NSCLC, PRCC and gastric cancer clinical trials with over 1,500 patients to date, both as a monotherapy and in combinations. In July 2021, we received a $25 million first sale milestone from AstraZeneca upon launch of ORPATHYS® in China and in February 2022, a $15 million milestone from AstraZeneca was triggered by the initiation of start-up activities for the SAFFRON study. In total, AstraZeneca will have paid HUTCHMED $85 million of the total $140 million in upfront payments, development and approvals milestones that are potentially payable under the 2011 license and collaboration agreement. 20 The table below shows a summary of the clinical studies for savolitinib in lung cancer patients.

Data has supported progression into Phase IIIs In planning. Intend to initiate in mid- 2022 China III Ongoing NCT05015608 China III Ongoing NCT05009836 Update on monotherapy in MET altered NSCLC – In June 2021, savolitinib was approved by the NMPA based on positive results from a Phase II trial conducted in China in patients with NSCLC with MET exon 14 skipping alterations (NCT02897479), having demonstrated effective anti-tumor activity based on ORR45 and DCR46. The approval is conditional upon successful completion of a confirmatory study in this patient population (NCT04923945), which is expected to enroll approximately 160 patients from approximately 40 sites. Update on combination therapies in EGFR TKI-resistant NSCLC – MET-amplification is a major mechanism for acquired resistance to both first-generation EGFR TKIs as well as third-generation EGFR TKIs like TAGRISSO®. As many as 30-40% of EGFR mutation positive NSCLC patients develop MET amplification driven resistance to EGFR TKIs. Savolitinib has been studied extensively in these patients in the TATTON and SAVANNAH studies. The successful results led to the initiation and planning of three Phase III studies: SACHI and SANOVO were initiated in China in 2021, and the global, pivotal Phase III study, the SAFFRON study, is planned to commence enrollment in mid-2022. OPERATIONS REVIEW – ONCOLOGY/IMMUNOLOGYSAVANNAH (NCT03778229) – This global, single-arm study in patients who have progressed following TAGRISSO® due to MET amplification or overexpression has three dose cohorts of savolitinib combined with TAGRISSO®. We plan to submit results for presentation at a scientific conference in 2022. In addition to the planned global Phase III, which will initiate in mid-2022, we continue to evaluate the possibility of using the SAVANNAH study as the basis for U.S. accelerated approval. SACHI (NCT05015608) – In November 2021, we initiated this China Phase III study of savolitinib in combination with TAGRISSO®, which is a multi- center, open-label, randomized, controlled study in patients with locally advanced or metastatic EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC with MET amplification after disease progression on EGFR inhibitor therapy. The study will evaluate savolitinib in combination with TAGRISSO®, compared to platinum-based doublet-chemotherapy (pemetrexed plus cisplatin or carboplatin), the standard-of-care treatment option in this setting. The primary endpoint of the study is PFS. SANOVO (NCT05009836) – In September 2021, we initiated this China Phase III study of savolitinib in combination with TAGRISSO® as a first-line treatment in certain NSCLC patients whose tumors harbor EGFR mutations and overexpress MET. The Phase III trial is a blinded, randomized, controlled study in previously untreated patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with activating EGFR mutations and MET overexpression. The study will evaluate TAGRISSO® in combination with savolitinib comparing to TAGRISSO® alone, a standard-of-care treatment option for these patients. The primary endpoint of the study is PFS. Savolitinib – Kidney cancer: MET is a key genetic driver in RCC, and emerging evidence suggests that combining immunotherapies with a MET inhibitor could enhance anti-tumor activity. PRCC is a subtype of kidney cancer, representing about 15% of patients, with no treatments approved for patients with tumors that harbor MET-driven alterations. We have conducted multiple global studies of savolitinib in PRCC patients, including the SAVOIR monotherapy and CALYPSO combination therapy global Phase II trials, that both demonstrated highly encouraging results. These results led to the initiation of a global Phase III, the SAMETA study, in 2021. The table below shows a summary of the clinical studies for savolitinib in kidney cancer patients. Sites Phase Status/Plan NCT # Global III Ongoing NCT05043090 Treatment Savolitinib + IMFINZI® Name, Line, Patient Focus SAMETA: MET-driven, unresectable and locally advanced or metastatic PRCC Savolitinib + IMFINZI® Savolitinib + IMFINZI® CALYPSO: PRCC U.K./ Spain CALYPSO: Clear cell RCC; VEGFR TKI refractory U.K./ Spain II II Data updated at ASCO 2021 NCT02819596 Ongoing NCT02819596 SAMETA (NCT05043090) – In November 2021, we initiated this global Phase III study of savolitinib in combination with AstraZeneca’s PD-L1 inhibitor IMFINZI® in patients with MET-driven advanced PRCC. The Phase III trial is an open-label, randomized, controlled study in treatment-naïve patients with MET-driven, unresectable and locally advanced or metastatic PRCC, to evaluate savolitinib in combination with IMFINZI®, compared to single agent IMFINZI® or single agent SUTENT®, an oral multi-kinase inhibitor considered the standard-of-care treatment option in PRCC. The primary endpoint of the study is median PFS. CALYPSO (NCT02819596) – This investigator-initiated open-label Phase I/II study of savolitinib in combination with IMFINZI® is evaluating the savolitinib/IMFINZI® combination in patients with PRCC and clear cell RCC. Interim results of the PRCC cohort of the CALYPSO study were presented at the ASCO 2021 and showed encouraging efficacy across all patients, particularly in MET-driven PRCC patients. Importantly, for patients whose tumors are MET-driven, ORR was 57%, median PFS was 10.5 months (95% CI: 2.9-15.7) and median OS was 27.4 months (95% CI: 7.3-NR). Tolerability was consistent with established single agent safety profiles. HUTCHMED (China) Limited 2021 Annual Report 21 Savolitinib – Gastric cancer: MET-driven gastric cancer has a very poor prognosis. Multiple Phase II studies have been conducted in Asia to study savolitinib in MET-driven gastric cancer, of which approximately 5% of all gastric cancer patients, demonstrated promising efficacy, including VIKTORY. The VIKTORY study reported a 50% ORR with savolitinib monotherapy in gastric cancer patients whose tumors harbor MET amplification. Phase II with potential for registration intent in 2L+ gastric cancer with MET amplification (NCT04923932) – In July 2021, we initiated a Phase II registration-intent study in MET-amplified gastric cancer in China. This is a two-stage, single-arm study which targets advanced gastric cancer patients who have failed at least one line of treatment. The primary endpoint is ORR. Subject to the results of the first stage of this study, we will discuss with the CDE of NMPA the appropriate approach and necessary criteria for registration. SURUFATINIB (SULANDA® IN CHINA) Surufatinib is a novel, oral angio-immuno kinase inhibitor that selectively inhibits the tyrosine kinase activity associated with VEGFR and FGFR, both shown to be involved in tumor angiogenesis, and CSF-1R, which plays a key role in regulating tumor-associated macrophages, promoting the body’s immune response against tumor cells. Surufatinib has been studied in clinical trials with around 1,200 patients to date, both as a monotherapy and in combinations, and is approved in China. We currently retain all rights to surufatinib worldwide. Initial approvals for surufatinib in China are for the treatment of advanced NET patients. NETs present in the body’s organ system with fragmented epidemiology. About 58% of NETs originate in the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas, 27% in the lung or bronchus, and a further 15% in other organs or unknown origins. Surufatinib’s ability to inhibit angiogenesis, block the accumulation of tumor associated macrophages and promote infiltration of effector T cells into tumors could help improve the anti-tumor activity of PD-1 antibodies. Several combination studies with PD-1 antibodies have shown promising data. A summary of the clinical studies of surufatinib is shown in the table below. 22 Treatment Name, Line, Patient Focus Sites Phase Status/Plan NCT # Surufatinib monotherapy SANET-ep: extra- pancreatic NET China III Approved & launched Surufatinib monotherapy SANET-p: pancreatic NET China III Surufatinib monotherapy NETs U.S. Ib Surufatinib monotherapy Surufatinib monotherapy Surufatinib monotherapy NETs NETs BTC Surufatinib + TUOYI® (PD-1) SURTORI-01: NEC Europe II Japan Bridging Ongoing.

OPERATIONS REVIEW – ONCOLOGY/IMMUNOLOGYIn June 2021, the U.S. FDA accepted our filing of the NDA for surufatinib for the treatment of pancreatic and extra-pancreatic (non-pancreatic) NETs. Surufatinib received fast track designation in April 2020 for the treatment of pancreatic and extra-pancreatic NET. Orphan Drug Designation for pancreatic NET was also granted in November 2019. We have also initiated an Expanded Access Protocol in the U.S. to ensure patients with NET with limited therapeutic options have access to this treatment. Regulatory clearance of this protocol has been granted by the U.S. FDA and this program is open for site activation. U.S. FDA NDA review, as well as the clinical site inspections and pre- approval inspections of our manufacturing facilities, are ongoing. The PDUFA goal date for the FDA’s completion of review is April 30, 2022. Timing of completion of the NDA review is subject to FDA scheduling limitations which are contingent on COVID-19 travel restrictions and security requirements for foreign visitors. Remaining inspections must be completed before regulatory action can be taken. We have also submitted the EMA MAA for surufatinib, which was validated and accepted in July 2021, for the treatment of both pancreatic and non-pancreatic NET. The 120-day assessment has been completed, and we are now entering the later stages of MAA review. In addition, we initiated a registration-enabling bridging study in NET patients in Japan in September 2021. U.S. Phase Ib NET cohorts (NCT02549937) – Updated data from a study in U.S. patients was presented at ASCO 2021, reinforcing the dosage, efficacy and safety profile as comparable to the China trials data. At data cut- off, confirmed response and DCR was observed in 18.8% and 87.5% of pancreatic NET patients, and 6.3% and 93.8% of extra-pancreatic NET patients, respectively. Median PFS was 11.5 months in both cohorts (95% CI: 6.5-17.5). Japan Bridging Study to Support Registration for Advanced NET (NCT05077384) – Based on dialogue with the Japanese PMDA, it was agreed that the Japanese NDA would include results from a 34-patient, registration-enabling bridging study in Japan to complement the registration data package submitted to the U.S. FDA and the EMA. It was initiated in September 2021. Surufatinib – combination therapy with checkpoint inhibitor TUOYI® updates: A Phase II China study (NCT04169672) is enrolling approximately 260 patients in nine solid tumor indications, including NENs, BTC, gastric cancer, thyroid cancer, SCLC, soft tissue sarcoma, endometrial cancer, esophageal cancer and NSCLC. In 2021, we presented encouraging preliminary data on several of these surufatinib-TUOYI® combination cohorts at CSCO and ESMO IO. These have led to the initiation of the first Phase III trial combining surufatinib with a PD-1 antibody, the SURTORI-01 study in NEC, and we are currently considering further registration studies in gastric cancer, SCLC and esophageal cancer. NEC (subset of NENs) cohort – At CSCO 2021, we presented data, with a cutoff date of July 30, 2021, for all 21 enrolled NEC patients that were efficacy evaluable. Average duration of treatment was 4.9 months (range 1-19) and median OS was 10.3 months (95% CI: 9.1-not reached). The median PFS was 4.14 months (95% CI: 1.5-5.5) and median DoR49 was 4.1 months (95% CI: 3.0-not reached). The confirmed ORR was 23.8% (95% CI: 8.2-47.2) and DCR was 71.4% (95% CI: 47.8-88.7). All patients experienced TRAEs50, including 9 (42.9%) who experienced grade 3 or above TRAEs. One (4.8%) patient reported treatment-related serious adverse events. Hyperglycemia (3 patients, 14.3%), hypertension (2 patients, 9.5%) and hypertriglyceridemia (2 patients, 9.5%) were the most commonly (more than one patient) reported grade 3 or above TRAEs. No TRAEs led to treatment discontinuation or treatment-related deaths. SURTORI-01 (NCT05015621) – In September 2021, we initiated this Phase III study to evaluate the combination compared with FOLFIRI to treat patients with advanced NEC who have progression of disease or intolerable toxicity after previous first-line chemotherapy. It is a randomized, controlled, open-label, multi-center study where approximately 200 patients are expected to be enrolled. For the study group, all patients will receive study treatment on a 21-day cycle. The primary outcome measure is OS. HUTCHMED is the sponsor and is responsible for the study’s execution. HUTCHMED and Junshi Biosciences are jointly funding the study. Surufatinib – combination with checkpoint inhibitor tislelizumab: In addition to the TUOYI® and TYVYT® combination studies in China, in March 2021 we initiated an open-label, Phase Ib/II study of surufatinib in combination with BeiGene’s tislelizumab in the U.S. and Europe, evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and efficacy in patients with advanced solid tumors, including CRC, NET, small cell lung cancer, gastric cancer and soft tissue sarcoma. The dose finding phase of the study is now complete and the expansion phase is ongoing (NCT04579757). Surufatinib – Exploratory development: In China, we support an Investigator Initiated Trial (“IIT”) program for surufatinib, with about 50 IITs in various solid tumor settings being conducted for both combination and single agent regimens. These trials explore and answer important medical questions in addition to our own company-sponsored clinical trials. HUTCHMED (China) Limited 2021 Annual Report 23 FRUQUINTINIB (ELUNATE® IN CHINA) Fruquintinib – CRC updates: Fruquintinib is a novel, selective, oral inhibitor of VEGFR 1/2/3 kinases that was designed to improve kinase selectivity to minimize off-target toxicity and thereby improve tolerability. Fruquintinib has been studied in clinical trials with about 5,000 patients to date, both as a monotherapy and in combinations. Aside from its first approved indication of third-line CRC (in China), several studies of fruquintinib combined with checkpoint inhibitors (including TYVYT®, geptanolimab and tislelizumab) have been underway, some of which presented encouraging data in 2021. Registration-intent studies combined with chemotherapy (FRUTIGA study in gastric cancer) or checkpoint inhibitors (TYVYT® combo, in endometrial cancer) are ongoing in China, with further registration studies in HCC and RCC under consideration. We retain all rights to fruquintinib outside of China and are partnered with Lilly in China. The table below shows a summary of the clinical studies for fruquintinib. FRESCO-2 (NCT04322539) – This double-blind, placebo-controlled, global Phase III study in refractory metastatic CRC patients reached its enrollment goal in December 2021. It recruited 691 patients from over 150 sites in 14 countries in fifteen months, ahead of schedule. The primary endpoint of the study is OS. Topline results are expected to be reported in the second half of 2022 when the event-driven primary endpoint, OS, is mature. If positive, HUTCHMED would simultaneously initiate plans to apply for marketing authorization of fruquintinib by the U.S. FDA, which granted Fast Track Designation in 2020, the EMA and the Japanese PMDA. U.S. Phase I/Ib CRC cohorts (NCT03251378) – Preliminary efficacy and safety data of fruquintinib in patients with refractory, metastatic CRC were presented at ASCO GI in early 2022. In patients who had progressed on all standard therapies, including LONSURF® and/or STIVARGA®, the DCR was 68.3% and the median duration of treatment was 19.3 weeks. In patients who had not received LONSURF® or STIVARGA®, the DCR was 57.5% and the median duration of treatment was 14.1 weeks. The safety profile in both patient populations was consistent with what has previously been reported.

Its co-primary endpoints are PFS and OS. We expect to complete enrollment of FRUTIGA in 2022. Fruquintinib – combinations with checkpoint inhibitors: Advanced endometrial cancer registration-intent cohort – Platinum-based systemic chemotherapy is the standard first-line treatment for advanced endometrial cancer. However, patients who progress following first-line chemotherapy have limited treatment options, and the prognosis remains poor. As disclosed at CSCO 2021, as of data cutoff date of August 31, 2021, 35 patients were enrolled (NCT03903705), including 7 treatment- naïve and 28 pretreated patients. Of them, 29 were efficacy evaluable, 4 were treatment-naïve and 25 were pretreated. All 4 treatment-naïve patients experienced confirmed tumor response, for ORR of 100% (95% CI: 39.8-100.0), and median PFS was not reached. Among the 25 pretreated patients, the confirmed ORR was 32.0% (95% CI: 14.9-53.5), DCR was 92.0% (95% CI: 74.0-99.0) and the median PFS was 6.9 months (95% CI: 4.1-NR). Among the 19 proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) patients in the pretreated cohort, the confirmed ORR was 36.8% (95% CI: 16.3-61.6), DCR was 94.7% (95% CI: 74.0-99.9), median PFS was 6.9 months (95% CI: 4.1- NR), and the median OS was not reached. Among the 35 enrolled patients, TRAEs of grade 3 or above that occurred in more than 10% of patients were hypertension (4 patients, 11.4%) and proteinuria (11.4%). 5 (14.3%) patients reported treatment-related serious adverse events. Following discussion with the NMPA in late 2021, the cohort is now targeting to enroll over 130 patients to meet the requirements to be a single-arm, registration-intent Phase II study. OPERATIONS REVIEW – ONCOLOGY/IMMUNOLOGYCRC registration strategy for mCRC under discussion – Encouraging preliminary data disclosed at ASCO 2021 for fruquintinib in combination with two PD-1 inhibitors, TYVYT® and geptanolimab, in advanced CRC showed a five-fold increase in ORR and a doubling of median PFS as compared to the FRESCO study for fruquintinib as a monotherapy. In the TYVYT® combination study (NCT04179084), 44 patients were enrolled into the CRC cohort, 22 of whom received the RP2D. ORR was 23% for all patients and 27% for those who received the RP2D. DCR was 86% for all patients and 96% for those who received the RP2D. Median PFS was 5.6 months for all patients, and 6.9 months for those who received the RP2D. Median OS was 11.8 months for all patients. In the geptanolimab combination study (NCT03977090), for the 15 patients in the CRC cohort ORR was 26.7% (including 1 patient with unconfirmed PR) and 33% in the group that received the RP2D. DCR for all evaluable patients was 80% and median PFS was 7.3 months (95% CI: 1.9-NR). Grade 3 TRAEs occurred in 47% of patients, and no incidences of grade 4 or 5 TRAEs were observed. Tislelizumab combinations (NCT04577963 & NCT04716634) – In August 2021, we initiated an open-label, multi-center, non-randomized Phase Ib/II study in the U.S. to assess fruquintinib in combination with tislelizumab in patients with locally advanced triple negative breast cancer or advanced endometrial cancer. In addition, a Phase II study in China and Korea for fruquintinib in combination with tislelizumab was initiated and is being led by BeiGene for the treatment of advanced or metastatic, unresectable gastric cancer, CRC or NSCLC. Fruquintinib – Exploratory development: We are conducting multiple Phase Ib expansion cohorts in the U.S. to explore fruquintinib in CRC and breast cancer. In China, there are about 40 ongoing IIT’s in various solid tumor settings. Hematological Malignancies Candidates HUTCHMED currently has five investigational drug candidates targeting hematological malignancies in clinical development, with its sixth expected to enter clinical development in mid-2022. Amdizalisib (targeting PI3Kδ), sovleplenib (HMPL-523, targeting Syk) and HMPL-760 (targeting BTK) are being studied in several trials against B-cell dominant malignancies. In addition to the three B-cell receptor pathway inhibitors, HUTCHMED is also developing HMPL-306 (targeting IDH1 and IDH2); tazemetostat (a methyltransferase inhibitor of EZH2); and HMPL-A83 (a IND-stage anti-CD47 monoclonal antibody). AMDIZALISIB (HMPL-689) Amdizalisib is a novel, highly selective oral inhibitor targeting the isoform PI3Kδ, a key component in the B-cell receptor signaling pathway. Amdizalisib’s pharmacokinetic properties have been found to be favorable with good oral absorption, moderate tissue distribution and low clearance in preclinical studies. We also expect that amdizalisib will have low risk of drug accumulation and drug-drug interactions. In 2021, registration- intent studies for amdizalisib were initiated and Breakthrough Therapy Designation was granted for relapse or refractory follicular lymphoma in China. We currently retain all rights to amdizalisib worldwide. The table below shows a summary of the clinical studies for amdizalisib.

The primary endpoint is ORR. The trial is being conducted in over 35 sites in China. This initiation is based on the highly promising preliminary results presented at ESMO 2021 from the Phase Ib expansion study ongoing in China (NCT03128164), which demonstrated that amdizalisib was well tolerated with single-agent clinical activity in relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphoma patients. SOVLEPLENIB (HMPL-523) Sovleplenib is a novel, selective, oral inhibitor targeting Syk, for the treatment of hematological cancers and immune diseases. Syk is a component in B-cell receptor signaling pathway. In 2021 we initiated Phase III study in China for ITP, for which it has received Breakthrough Therapy Designation, and presented data on both ITP and hematological malignancies at ASH 2021. We currently retain all rights to sovleplenib worldwide. The table below shows a summary of the clinical studies for sovleplenib.

Abstract #149895. Safety data were presented for all 41 patients treated by sovleplenib. The median duration of treatment was 142 days (range: 23-170). No patients discontinued treatment due to TRAE, and no cases of treatment-related serious adverse events were reported. There were 30 patients (73%) who experienced TRAEs, including 3 (7.3%) who experienced grade 3 or above TRAEs, one of whom received the RP2D. No TRAEs of grade 3 or above occurred in more than one patient. Australia/China Phase I/Ib studies in multiple subtypes of B-cell malignancies (NCT02503033/NCT02857998) – Our Phase I/Ib dose escalation and expansion studies in Australia and China have now enrolled over 200 patients in a broad range of hematological cancers and have identified indications of interest for future development. U.S./Europe Phase I/Ib in indolent non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NCT03779113) – We presented preliminary results from this Phase I study at ASH 2021, which support progressing sovleplenib into the ongoing dose expansion phase of the study to evaluate its safety and efficacy in multiple subtypes of B-cell and T-cell lymphoma at the RP2D of 700mg. TAZVERIK® (TAZEMETOSTAT) In August 2021, we entered into a strategic collaboration with Epizyme to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize TAZVERIK® in Greater China, including mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. TAZVERIK® is an inhibitor of EZH2 developed by Epizyme that is approved by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of certain epithelioid sarcoma and follicular lymphoma patients. It received accelerated approval from the FDA based on ORR and DoR in January and June 2020 for epithelioid sarcoma and follicular lymphoma, respectively. Under the terms of the agreement, we are responsible for the development and commercialization of TAZVERIK® in Greater China. Epizyme received a $25 million upfront payment and is eligible to receive up to an additional $110 million in development and regulatory milestone payments, across up to eight potential indications, and up to an additional $175 million in sales milestone payments. Epizyme is also eligible to receive tiered royalties of mid -teen to low-twenties percent based on annual net sales of TAZVERIK® in Greater China. In addition, we received a four-year warrant to acquire up to $65 million of Epizyme shares at $11.50 per share. We are developing and plan to seek approval for TAZVERIK® in various hematological and solid tumors, including epithelial sarcoma, follicular lymphoma and diffuse large b-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in Greater China. We are participating in Epizyme’s SYMPHONY-1 (EZH-302) study, leading it in Greater China. The parties also intend to conduct additional global studies jointly. We will generally be responsible for funding all clinical trials of TAZVERIK® in Greater China, including the portion of global trials conducted there.

Aberrant FGFR signaling is associated with tumor growth, promotion of angiogenesis, as well as resistance to anti-tumor therapies. We currently retain all rights to HMPL-453 worldwide. The table below shows a summary of the clinical studies for HMPL-453. HMPL-653 is a novel, highly selective, and potent CSF-1R inhibitor designed to target CSF-1R driven tumors as a monotherapy or in combination with other drugs. We initiated a China Phase I study in January 2022. We currently retain all rights to HMPL-653 worldwide.

ERK is a downstream component of the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK signaling cascade (MAPK pathway). This is our first of multiple candidates in discovery targeting the MAPK pathway. A China Phase I study was initiated in July 2021. We currently retain all rights to HMPL-295 worldwide. RAS-MAPK pathway is dysregulated in cancer, in which mutations or non-genetic events hyper-activate the pathway in more than 50% of cancers. RAS and RAF predict worse clinical prognosis in a wide variety of tumor types, mediate resistance to targeted therapies, and decrease the response to the approved standards of care, namely, targeted therapy and immunotherapy. ERK inhibition has the potential to overcome or avoid the intrinsic or acquired resistance from the inhibition of RAS, RAF and MEK upstream mechanisms. Treatment HMPL-295 monotherapy Name, Line, Patient Focus Sites Phase Status/Plan NCT # Solid tumors China I Ongoing: initiated in Jul 2021 NCT04908046 CSF-1R is usually expressed on the surface of macrophages and can promote growth and differentiation of macrophages. Studies have shown that blocking the CSF-1R signaling pathway could effectively modulate the tumor microenvironment, relieve tumor immunosuppression, and synergize with other anti-cancer therapies such as immune checkpoint inhibitors to achieve tumor inhibition. It has been demonstrated in several clinical studies that CSF-1R inhibitors could treat tenosynovial giant cell tumors, and treat a variety of malignancies combined with immuno- oncology or other therapeutic agents. Currently no CSF-1R inhibitor has been approved in China.

Funded by Inmagene, we will work together to move the drug candidates towards IND. If successful, Inmagene will then advance the drug candidates through global clinical development. INDs for the first two compounds are expected to be submitted in China in 2022.

Built over the past 20 years, it primarily focuses on prescription drug and science-based nutrition products through several joint ventures and subsidiary companies. In 2021, our Other Ventures delivered encouraging growth with consolidated revenues up 20% (13% at CER) to $236.5 million (2020: $197.8m). Consolidated net income attributable to HUTCHMED from our Other Ventures grew by 24% (15% at CER) to $54.4 million (2020: $44.0m), excluding one-time gains. One-time gains in 2021 totaled $88.5 million (2020: $28.8m), including $82.9 million (2020: nil) from the divestment of HBYS and $5.6 million (2020: $28.8m) from one-time land compensation. Hutchison Sinopharm: Our prescription drugs commercial services business, which in addition to providing certain commercial services for our own products, provides services to third-party pharmaceutical companies in China, grew sales by 24% (16% at CER) to $204.1 million in 2021 (2020: $165.1m). In 2021, the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre made a final award in favor of Hutchison Sinopharm against Luye Pharma Hong Kong Ltd. in the amount of RMB253.2 million ($39.6 million), plus costs and interest, in connection with the termination of Hutchison Sinopharm’s right to distribute SEROQUEL® in China. Payment of the award is expected in 2022. Hutchison Sinopharm has a dedicated team of about 130 commercial staff focused on two key areas of operation. First, a team that markets third-party prescription drug products directly to about 700 public and private hospitals in the Shanghai region and through a network of about 50 distributors to cover all other provinces in China. Second, a team that markets HUTCHMED’s science-based maternal and infant supplements through a network of over 32,000 promoters in China. SHPL: Our own-brand prescription drugs business, operated through our non- consolidated joint venture SHPL, grew sales by 20% (12% at CER) to $332.6 million (2020: $276.4m). This sales growth and favorable product mix led to an increase of 33% (24% at CER) in net income attributable to HUTCHMED to $44.7 million (2020: $33.5m). The SHPL operation is large-scale, with a commercial team of over 2,200 staff managing the medical detailing and marketing of its products not just in hospitals in provincial capitals and medium-sized cities, but also in the majority of county-level hospitals in China. SHPL’s Good Manufacturing Practice-certified factory holds 74 drug product manufacturing licenses and is operated by over 530 manufacturing staff. HUTCHMED (China) Limited 2021 Annual Report 31 OPERATIONS REVIEW – OTHER VENTURESSXBX54 pill: SHPL’s main product is SXBX pill, an oral vasodilator prescription therapy for coronary artery disease. SXBX pill is the third largest botanical prescription drug in this indication in China, with a national market share in January to December 2021 of 19.6% (2020: 18.2%). Sales increased by 23% (15% at CER) to $307.1 million in 2021 (2020: $250.0m). SXBX pill is protected by a formulation patent that expires in 2029, but also retains certain state protection that extends indefinitely, and is one of less than two dozen proprietary prescription drugs represented on China’s National Essential Medicines List (“NEML”). Inclusion on the NEML means that all Chinese state-owned health care institutions are required to carry it. SXBX pill is fully reimbursed in all China. Dividends: Our share of SHPL’s profits are passed to the HUTCHMED Group through dividend payments. In 2021, dividends of $49.9 million (2020: $36.1m) were paid from SHPL to the HUTCHMED Group level with aggregate dividends received by HUTCHMED since inception of over $240 million. HBYS disposal: In September 2021, we divested our entire indirect interest in HBYS, a non-core and non-consolidated over-the-counter drug joint venture business, to GL Capital for $159.1 million in cash and including $46.4 million expected to be received related to undistributed profits, this represents about 22 times of HBYS’ adjusted 2020 net profit attributable to HUTCHMED equity holders of $7.7 million55. The sale of this non- core consumer health products business resulted in a one-time gain of approximately $82.9 million attributable to HUTCHMED equity holders.

Our Oncology/Immunology operations have historically not generated significant profits or have operated at a net loss, as creating potential global first-in-class or best-in-class drug candidates requires a significant investment of resources over a prolonged period of time. As such, we incurred net losses of $194.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and net losses of $125.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents and short- term investments of $1,011.7 million and unutilized bank facilities of $157.4 million. As of December 31, 2021, we had $26.9 million in bank borrowings. Certain of our subsidiaries and joint ventures, including those registered as wholly foreign-owned enterprises in China, are required to set aside at least 10.0% of their after-tax profits to their general reserves until such reserves reach 50.0% of their registered capital. In addition, certain of our joint ventures are required to allocate certain of their after-tax profits as determined in accordance with related regulations and their respective articles of association to the reserve funds, upon approval of the board. Profit appropriated to the reserve funds for our subsidiaries and joint ventures incorporated in the PRC was approximately $89,000 and $44,000 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In addition, as a result of PRC regulations restricting dividend distributions from such reserve funds and from a company’s registered capital, our PRC subsidiaries are restricted in their ability to transfer a certain amount of their net assets to us as cash dividends, loans or advances. This restricted portion amounted to $0.1 million as of December 31, 2021. In addition, our non-consolidated joint venture, SHPL, held an aggregate of $50.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and no bank borrowings as of December 31, 2021. Such cash and cash equivalents are only accessible by us through dividend payments from the joint venture. The level of dividends declared by the joint venture is subject to agreement each year between us and our joint venture partner based on the profitability and working capital needs of the joint venture.

The net change of $142.1 million was primarily attributable to higher operating expenses of $259.8 million from $424.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $684.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, partially offset by an increase in revenues of approximately $128.1 million from $228.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $356.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. HUTCHMED (China) Limited 2021 Annual Report 35 GROUP CAPITAL RESOURCES Net Cash used in Investing Activities Net cash used in investing activities was $125.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $306.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The net change of $180.9 million was primarily attributable to an increase in net deposits in short-term investments of $331.1 million from $103.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $434.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The net change was also attributable to the payment of $15.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 to acquire a warrant to purchase Epizyme shares. The net change was partially offset by the proceeds received from the divestment of Hutchison Baiyunshan of $159.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2021. Net Cash generated from Financing Activities Net cash generated from financing activities was $296.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to net cash generated from financing activities of $650.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The net change of $353.6 million was primarily attributable to net proceeds of $685.4 million from a private placement in April 2021 and from our public offering on the SEHK with over-allotment option exercised in full in June and July 2021, as compared to net proceeds of $310.0 million from our follow-on offering in the United States and private placements in 2020. The net change was partially offset by an increase in purchases of ADSs by our Company for the settlement of certain equity awards which totaled $12.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to $27.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, as well as an increase in dividends paid to non-controlling shareholders of subsidiaries which totaled $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to $9.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. LOAN FACILITIES In November 2018, our subsidiary renewed a three-year revolving loan facility with HSBC56. The facility amount of this loan was HK$234.0 million ($30.0 million) with an interest rate at HIBOR57 plus 0.85% per annum. This credit facility was guaranteed by us and includes certain financial covenant requirements. The revolving loan facility expired in November 2021. In May 2019, our subsidiary entered into additional credit facility arrangements with HSBC for the provision of unsecured credit facilities in the aggregate amount of HK$400.0 million ($51.3 million). The 3-year credit facilities include (i) a HK$210.0 million ($26.9 million) term loan facility and (ii) a HK$190.0 million ($24.4 million) revolving loan facility, both with an interest rate at HIBOR plus 0.85% per annum. These credit facilities are guaranteed by us and include certain financial covenant requirements. In October 2019, we drew down HK$210.0 million ($26.9 million) from the term loan facility and as of December 31, 2021, no amount was drawn from the revolving loan facility. In August 2020, our subsidiary entered into a 24-month revolving credit facility with Deutsche Bank AG58 in the amount of HK$117.0 million ($15.0 million) with an interest rate at HIBOR plus 4.5% per annum. This revolving facility is guaranteed by us and includes certain financial covenant requirements. As of December 31, 2021, no amount was drawn from the revolving loan facility. In October 2021, our subsidiary entered into a 10-year fixed asset loan facility agreement with Bank of China Limited for the provision of a secured credit facility in the amount of RMB754.9 million ($118.1 million) with an annual interest rate at the 5-year China Loan Prime Rate less 0.65%. This credit facility is guaranteed by another subsidiary of the Group, and secured by the underlying leasehold land and buildings, and includes certain financial covenant requirements. As of December 31, 2021, no amount was drawn from the fixed asset loan facility. Our non-consolidated joint venture SHPL had no bank borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2021. 36 GROUP CAPITAL RESOURCESCONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS The following table sets forth our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2021. Our purchase obligations relate to property, plant and equipment that are contracted for but not yet paid.

Purchase obligations Lease obligations FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK Payment Due by Period (in $’000) Total Less than 1 Year 1-3 Years 3-5 Years More than 5 Years 155 3,149 3,304 155 859 1,014 – 1,577 1,577 – 713 713 – – – Most of our revenues and expenses are denominated in renminbi, and our consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. We do not believe that we currently have any significant direct foreign exchange risk and have not used any derivative financial instruments to hedge our exposure to such risk. In general, our exposure to foreign exchange risks is limited. The value of the renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions. The conversion of renminbi into foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars, has been based on rates set by the PBOC59. If we decide to convert renminbi into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or ADSs or for other business purposes, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the renminbi would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amounts available to us. On the other hand, if we need to convert U.S. dollars into renminbi for business purposes, e.g. capital expenditures and working capital, appreciation of the renminbi against the U.S. dollar would have a negative effect on the renminbi amounts we would receive from the conversion. In addition, for certain cash and bank balances deposited with banks in the PRC, if we decide to convert them into foreign currencies, they are subject to the rules and regulations of foreign exchange control promulgated by the PRC government. HUTCHMED (China) Limited 2021 Annual Report 37 CREDIT RISK SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS HELD Substantially all of our bank deposits are in major financial institutions, which we believe are of high credit quality. We limit the amount of credit exposure to any single financial institution. We make periodic assessments of the recoverability of trade and other receivables and amounts due from related parties. Our historical experience in collection of receivables falls within the recorded allowances, and we believe that we have made adequate provision for uncollectible receivables. INTEREST RATE RISK We have no significant interest-bearing assets except for bank deposits. Our exposure to changes in interest rates is mainly attributable to our bank borrowings, which bear interest at floating interest rates and expose us to cash flow interest rate risk. We have not used any interest rate swaps to hedge our exposure to interest rate risk. We have performed sensitivity analysis for the effects on our results for the period from changes in interest rates on floating rate borrowings. The sensitivity to interest rates used is based on the market forecasts available at the end of the reporting period and under the economic environments in which we operate, with other variables held constant. According to the analysis, the impact on our net loss of a 1.0% interest rate shift would be a maximum increase/ decrease of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any material off-balance sheet arrangements. Except for our investment in a non-consolidated joint venture SHPL with a carrying value of $76.0 million including details below and those as disclosed in note 11 to the full year financial statements, we did not hold any other significant investments in the equity of any other companies as of December 31, 2021.

Dividends received from SHPL for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $49.9 million. FUTURE PLANS FOR MATERIAL INVESTMENTS AND CAPITAL ASSETS Note 16 to the full year financial statements discloses our planned expenditures on capital assets as of December 31, 2021. At this date there were no other plans to incur material expenditures on additional investments or capital assets. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES Other than as disclosed in note 16 to the full year financial statements, the Group does not have any other significant commitments or contingent liabilities. MATERIAL ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS OF SUBSIDIARIES, ASSOCIATES AND JOINT VENTURES GEARING RATIO The gearing ratio of the Group, which was calculated by dividing total interest-bearing loans by total equity, was 2.6% as of December 31, 2021, a decrease from 5.2% as of December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily attributable to the increase in equity due to the primary offering of shares on HKEX. During the year ended December 31, 2021, except for the HBYS disposal as disclosed in note 23 to the full year financial statements, we did not have any other material acquisitions and disposals of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures. 38 GROUP CAPITAL RESOURCES PLEDGE OF ASSETS As of December 31, 2021, we did not have any pledge of assets (as of December 31, 2020: nil). Our 10-year fixed asset loan facility agreement with Bank of China Limited is secured by the underlying leasehold land and buildings; however, no amount was drawn from the fixed asset loan facility as of December 31, 2021. INFLATION In recent years, China has not experienced significant inflation, and thus inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the Consumer Price Index in China increased by 4.5%, 0.2% and 1.5% in 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. Although we have not been materially affected by inflation in the past, we can provide no assurance that we will not be affected in the future by higher rates of inflation in China. FINAL DIVIDEND The Board does not recommend any final dividend for the year ended December 31, 2021. HUTCHMED (China) Limited 2021 Annual Report 39 HUMAN RESOURCES As at December 31, 2021, the Group employed approximately 1,760 (2020: ~1,280) full time staff members.

Accordingly, adjustments have been made to the number of share options by multiplying the number by 10 and to the share price and exercise price by dividing the price by 10 pursuant to the terms of the 2015 Share Option Scheme. The share options granted on or after April 28, 2020 were in the form of ADS and the relevant exercise prices were stated in US dollars per ADS. For disclosure purposes, these share options are presented in the form of ordinary shares. Each ADS represents five ordinary shares. Notes: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) Mr Christian Lawrence Hogg retired as Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer on March 4, 2022.

The share options granted are exercisable subject to, amongst other relevant vesting criteria, the vesting schedule of 25% on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant of share options. The stated prices were the adjusted prices as a result of the Share Subdivision. The prices prior to the adjustment were closing prices of the shares quoted on AIM on the trading day immediately prior to the respective dates of grant of share options. The stated price was the weighted average closing price of the ordinary shares/ADSs immediately before the date on which the share options were exercised.

Such awards are not satisfied out of new ordinary shares, as is the case with the share options. Vesting of LTIP Awards – vesting will depend upon continued employment of the award holder with the Group and will otherwise be at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company. Such awards can be either performance based awards or non-performance based awards. In relation to any awards to the Independent Non-executive Directors, these are strictly non-performance based awards and typically vest 25% annually in equal amounts over a four-year period. Performance Based LTIP Awards – in relation to the salaried executive directors and employees, the Company grants performance based awards which are subject to change based on annual performance targets which vary by award, and may include targets for shareholder returns, financings, free cash flows, revenues, net profit after taxes and the achievement of clinical and regulatory milestones. Upon determination of the annual performance targets, the Company will pay a determined monetary amount, up to the maximum cash amount based on the actual achievement of the performance target specified in the award, to the Trustee to purchase the Awarded Shares. These type of annual performance based awards typically vest 100% three years after the date of grant. Administration of the LTIP Scheme – the Remuneration Committee meets and make recommendations to the Board of Directors on proposals for the granting of LTIP Awards. The Board of Directors is responsible for implementing these recommendations. No Director is permitted to participate in discussions concerning his/her own LTIP Awards. Directors are also abstained from voting in respect of his/her own proposed LTIP Awards, such that no Director is involved in determining his or her own share awards. Any shares bought to satisfy any LTIP Award are purchased by the Trustee of the LTIP Scheme, Computershare Trustees (Jersey) Limited and such shares are held by the Trustee on behalf of the awardee until the awards have vested.

Edith Shih Director and Company Secretary March 3, 2022 68 DIRECTORS’ REPORT THE BOARD CORPORATE CULTURE As a leading biopharmaceutical company, the Group instils a culture of innovation that is driven by science, with the ambition to create world-class cancer and immunological therapies, for the improvement of the lives of patients. This includes its commitment to encouraging, valuing and challenging every employee, so that the collective scientific and commercial expertise of the Group better serves the broader community. The Board, together with senior management, set the tone and shapes and define the corporate culture and strategic direction, which is underpinned by the core values of acting lawfully, ethically and responsibly across all levels of the Group. The desired culture is developed and reflected consistently in the operating practices and policies of the Group, as well as its relations with stakeholders. Board oversight of the culture of the organization encompasses a range of measures and tools, including employee engagement, retention and training, robust financial reporting, whistleblowing, data privacy and security and legal and regulatory compliance (including compliance with the Code of Ethics and other Group policies), as well as staff safety, wellbeing and support. Taking into account the corporate culture in a range of contexts, the Board considers that the culture, purpose, values and strategy of the Group are aligned. The Company strives to attain and maintain high standards of corporate governance best suited to the needs and interests of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as it believes that effective corporate governance framework is fundamental to promoting and safeguarding interests of shareholders and other stakeholders and enhancing shareholder value. Accordingly, the Company has adopted and applied corporate governance principles and practices that emphasize a quality board of Directors (the “Board”), effective risk management and internal control systems, stringent disclosure practices, transparency and accountability as well as effective communication and engagement with shareholders and other stakeholders. It is, in addition, committed to continuously enhancing these standards and practices and inculcating a robust culture of compliance and ethical governance underlying the business operations and practices across the Group. Following the listing of the ordinary shares of the Company on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (“HKEX”) on June 30, 2021, the Board has adopted the Hong Kong Corporate Governance Code (“HK CG Code”) contained in Appendix 14 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Hong Kong Listing Rules”) in replacement of the UK Corporate Governance Code and the Company is in compliance with all code provisions of the HK CG Code. Although the American depositary shares of the Company are listed on NASDAQ Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”), being a foreign private issuer, the Company is permitted to follow Cayman Islands law for certain corporate governance practices. In addition, the Company is subject to and complies with certain applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (the “SOX”). Prior to the listing of its ordinary shares on the HKEX, the Company had adopted the principles of the UK Corporate Governance Code applicable to companies listed on the premium segment of the London Stock Exchange main market. The corporate governance practices adopted by the Company are discussed below. 70 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORTCORPORATE STRATEGY BOARD COMPOSITION The primary objective of the Company is to become a fully integrated global leader in the discovery, development and commercialization of targeted therapies and immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer and immunological diseases. The strategy of the Company is to leverage the highly specialized expertise of the drug discovery division, known as the Oncology/Immunology operations, to develop and expand the drug candidate portfolio of the Group for the global market while also building on the first-mover advantage in the development and launch of novel cancer drugs in China. This is aligned with the Company’s culture of innovation and high engagement and empowerment with a high focus on reward and recognition. The Chairman’s Statement and the Operations Review contain discussions and analyses of the Group’s opportunities, performance and the basis on which the Group generates or preserves value over the longer term and the basis on which the Group will execute its strategy for delivering the objective of the Group. Further information on the sustainability initiatives of the Group and its key relationships with stakeholders can also be found in the standalone sustainability report of the Group. ROLE OF THE BOARD The Board is accountable to shareholders for the long-term sustainable success of the Company. It is responsible for shaping and overseeing the corporate culture, setting and guiding the long-term strategic objectives of the Company with appropriate focus on value creation and risk management, directing, supervising and monitoring the managerial performance and operating practices of the Group to ensure they align with the desired culture. It also ensures ongoing effective communication with shareholders and engagement with key stakeholders as it develops the purpose and values of the Company. Directors are charged with the task of promoting the long-term sustainable success of the Company and making decisions in the best interests of the Company with due regard to sustainability considerations. The Board, led by the Chairman, Mr To Chi Keung, Simon, fosters and oversees the culture, determines and monitors the Group’s long term objectives and commercial strategies, annual operating and capital expenditure budgets and business plans, evaluates the performance of the Company, and supervises the management of the Company (the “Management”). Management is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Group under the leadership of the Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”), and putting in place mechanisms for ensuring the desired culture of the Company is understood and shared at all levels of the Group. As of December 31, 2021 and up to the date of this report, the Board comprised ten Directors, including the Chairman, CEO, Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”), Chief Scientific Officer, two Non-executive Directors and four Independent Non-executive Directors (one of whom is the Senior Independent Non-executive Director). The number of Independent Non-executive Directors on the Board meets the one-third requirement under the Hong Kong Listing Rules. On March 4, 2022, Mr Christian Lawrence Hogg retired as Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer. Dr Weiguo Su was appointed as Chief Executive Officer and remains as the Chief Scientific Officer. Biographical details of the Directors are set out in the “Information on Directors” section on pages 42 to 45 and on the website of the Company (www.hutch-med.com). A list setting out the names of the Directors and their roles and functions is posted on the websites of the Company and HKEX (www.hkexnews.hk). CHAIRMAN AND CEO The role of the Chairman is separate from that of the CEO. Such division of responsibilities reinforces the independence and accountability of these Directors. The Chairman is responsible for the effective conduct of the Board, ensuring that it as a whole plays an effective role in the development and determination of the Group’s strategy and overall commercial objectives and acts as the guardian of the Board’s decision-making processes. He is responsible for setting the agenda for each Board meeting, taking into account, where appropriate, matters proposed by Directors. He also ensures that the Board receives accurate, timely and clear information on the Group’s performance, issues, challenges and opportunities facing the Group and matters reserved to it for decision. With the support of the other Executive Directors and the Company Secretary, the Chairman seeks to ensure that the Board complies with approved procedures, including the schedule of matters and functions reserved to the Board for its decision and the Terms of Reference of all Board Committees. The Board, under the leadership of the Chairman, has adopted good corporate governance practices and procedures and taken appropriate steps to provide effective communication with shareholders, as outlined later in this report. The CEO is responsible for managing the businesses of the Group, formulating and developing the Group’s strategy and overall commercial objectives in close consultation with the Chairman and the Board. With the executive management team of each core business division, the CEO implements the decisions of the Board and its Committees. He maintains an ongoing dialogue with the Chairman to keep him fully informed of all major business development and issues. He is also responsible for ensuring that the development needs of senior management reporting to him are identified and met as well as leading the communication program with shareholders. HUTCHMED (China) Limited 2021 Annual Report 71 In addition to Board meetings, the Chairman also met with the Independent Non-executive Directors without the presence of other Directors, with full attendance. Such meetings provide an effective forum for the Chairman to listen to the views of the Independent Non-executive Directors including corporate governance improvement, effectiveness of the Board, and any other issues they may wish to raise in the absence of other Directors and senior management of the Company. The Senior Independent Non-executive Director, Mr Paul Rutherford Carter, also held a meeting with all Non-executive Directors without the presence of the Chairman, with full attendance, for the appraisal of the Chairman’s performance. All Non-executive Directors are engaged on service contracts for an initial term ending on December 31 of the year of appointment or until the next following annual general meeting of the Company. Thereafter, such contracts are automatically renewed for successive 12-month periods unless terminated by written notice given by either party. The Chairman of the Board is of the view that the performance of each of the Non-executive Directors continues to be effective and they all demonstrate commitment to their role as a Non-executive Director. Under the Articles of Association of the Company, one-third of Directors are subject to re-election by shareholders at annual general meetings (the “AGM”) and at least once every three years on a rotation basis. A retiring Director is eligible for re-election and re-election of retiring Directors at general meetings is dealt with by separate individual resolutions. In the interests of good corporate governance, the Directors and the Board have resolved that all Directors will retire at the upcoming AGM of the Company and, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election by shareholders. Save as mentioned herein, there are no existing or proposed service contracts between any of the Directors and the Company which cannot be terminated by the Company within 12 months and without payment of compensation. Where vacancies arise at the Board, candidates are proposed and put forward to the Board for consideration and approval, with the objective of appointing to the Board individuals with expertise in the businesses of the Group and leadership qualities to complement the capabilities of the existing Directors thereby enabling the Company to retain as well as improve its competitive position. BOARD PROCESS The Board meets regularly, and at least four times a year with dates of regular meetings scheduled prior to the beginning of the year. Between scheduled meetings, senior management of the Group provides to Directors, on a regular basis, monthly updates and other information with respect to the activities and development of the Group. Throughout the year, in addition to Board meetings, Directors participate in the deliberation and approval of routine and operational matters of the Company by way of written resolutions with supporting explanatory materials, supplemented by additional verbal and/or written information from the Company Secretary or other executives as and when required. Whenever warranted, additional Board meetings are held. Further, Directors have full access to information on the Group and to the advice and services of the Company Secretary. They also have full access to independent professional advice at all times whenever deemed necessary by the Directors and they are at liberty to propose appropriate matters for inclusion in Board agendas. With respect to regular meetings of the Board, Directors receive written notice of the meetings generally about a month in advance and a draft agenda for review and comment prior thereto. The full set of Board papers is supplied no less than three days prior to the meetings. With respect to other meetings, Directors are given as much notice as is reasonable and practicable in the circumstances. Except for those circumstances permitted by the Articles of Association of the Company, a Director who has a material interest in any contract, transaction, arrangement or any other kind of proposal put forward to the Board for consideration abstains from voting on the relevant resolution and such Director is not counted for quorum determination purposes. In 2021, the Company held eight Board meetings with 100% attendance of its members.

External independent professional advice is also available to all Directors (including Independent Non-executive Directors) whenever deemed necessary. The Board process, ranging from agenda setting, provision of information and focus on constructive debates and discussions, facilitates effective and active participation by all independent Non-executive Directors, see “Board Process” on page 72 on this report. The Independent Non-executive Directors have historically and consistently demonstrated strong commitment, and the ability to devote sufficient time to discharging their responsibilities at the Board. Their commitment is also subject to self-confirmation each year. TRAINING AND COMMITMENT Upon appointment to the Board, a Director is provided with a package of comprehensive orientation materials on the Group including information on the Group, duties as a director and board committee member, as well as internal governance and sustainability policies of the Group. These orientation materials are presented to the Directors by senior executives in the form of a detailed induction to the Group’s businesses, strategic direction and governance practice. The Company arranges and provides Continuous Professional Development (“CPD”) training such as seminars, webcasts and relevant reading materials to Directors to help them to keep abreast of current trends and issues facing the Group, including the latest changes in the commercial (including industry-specific and innovative changes), legal and regulatory environment in which the Group conducts its businesses and to refresh their knowledge and skills on the roles, functions and duties as a listed company director. In addition, CPD training may take the form of attendance at external forums or briefing sessions (including delivery of speeches) on relevant topics. CPD training of approximately 18 hours had been provided to Directors during the year. BOARD PERFORMANCE In 2021, the Company conducted a performance evaluation on the Board, its Committees and the Chairman of each Committee. The evaluation involved each Director completing a questionnaire, the findings of which were then analyzed and reviewed by the Board. The objective of the evaluation is to ensure that the Board, its Committees and the Chairman of each Committee continue to act effectively in fulfilling the duties and responsibilities expected of them. The performance criteria included amongst others, the composition, expertise, leadership and processes of the Board. The contribution and performance of the Chairman and individual directors are taken into account in their re-appointment. The Directors’ attendance, participation in and out of meetings, their skills set and expertise are also reviewed. The Board considers the existing practice as effective. The Board has reviewed and is satisfied that it has met its performance objectives and each Director has contributed positively to the overall effectiveness of the Board. BOARD INDEPENDENCE The Company recognizes that Board independence is key to good corporate governance. As part of the established governance framework, the Group has in place effective mechanisms that underpin a strong independent Board and that independent views and input from Directors are conveyed to the Board. The governance framework and mechanisms are kept under regular review to align with international best practice, ensuring their effectiveness. The current composition of the Board (comprising more than one third Independent Non-Executive Directors) and the Audit Committee (comprising all Independent Non-executive Directors) comply with the independence requirements under the Hong Kong Listing Rules. The Nomination Committee and Remuneration Committee are both chaired by an Independent Non-executive Director. The Company has a vigorous selection, nomination and appointment/re-appointment process for Directors (including Independent Non-executive Directors), see “Nomination Process” on pages 85 to 86 of this report. The fees payable to Independent Non-executive Directors (including the additional fees to reflect membership or chairmanship of Board committees) are fixed fees without a discretionary element. The LTIP awards to Independent Non-executive Directors are non-performance based. As such, none of the Independent Non-executive Directors receives remuneration based on performance of the Group. The remuneration of Independent Non- executive Directors is also subject to a regular review mechanism to maintain competitiveness and commensurate with their responsibilities and workload as well as compliance with regulatory requirements. HUTCHMED (China) Limited 2021 Annual Report 73 The Directors are required to provide the Company with details of CPD training undertaken by them from time to time. The training records are maintained by the Company Secretary and are made available for regular review by the Audit Committee.

In addition, Directors have disclosed to the Company in a timely manner their other commitments, such as directorships in other public listed companies and major appointments as well as updated the Company on any subsequent changes. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS The Board has adopted the Code on Dealings in Shares which is on terms no less exacting than the required standard set out in the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed Issuers set out in Appendix 10 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules as the protocol regulating Directors’ dealings in securities of the Company. In summary, a Director who wishes to deal in the securities of the Company must notify the Chairman (or a Director designated by the Board for such specific purpose) in writing prior to any dealings and obtain a dated written acknowledgement before any dealing. Any clearance to deal granted in response to a Director’s request would be valid for no longer than five business days of clearance being received. After dealings, the Director must submit a disclosure of interests filing with respect to the dealing, within one business day of transaction. In response to specific enquiries made, all Directors have confirmed that they have complied with the required standards set out in such code regarding their securities transactions throughout their tenure during the year ended December 31, 2021. BOARD COMMITTEES The Company has established five permanent board committees: Audit Committee, Nomination Committee, Remuneration Committee, Sustainability Committee and Technical Committee, details of which are described later in this report. Other board committees are established by the Board as and when warranted to take charge of specific tasks. 74 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT COMPANY SECRETARY The Company Secretary, Ms Edith Shih, is accountable to the Board for ensuring that Board procedures are followed and Board activities are efficiently and effectively conducted.

It holds meetings with representatives of the external auditor to consider the scope of its audit, and approves its fees and the scope and appropriateness of non-audit services, if any, to be provided by it. The Audit Committee also makes recommendation to the Board on the appointment and retention of the external auditor. The Group’s policy regarding the engagement of its external auditor for the various services listed below is as follows: • • • • • Audit services – include audit services provided in connection with the audit of the consolidated financial statements. All such services are to be provided by the external auditor.

The external auditor is to be invited to undertake those services that it must, or is best placed to, undertake in its capacity as an auditor. Taxation related services – include all tax compliance and tax planning services, except for those services which are provided in connection with the audit.

HUTCHMED (China) Limited 2021 Annual Report 77 RISK MANAGEMENT, INTERNAL CONTROL AND LEGAL & REGULATORY COMPLIANCE BOARD OVERSIGHT The Board has overall responsibility for the Group’s systems of risk management, internal control and legal and regulatory compliance. In meeting its responsibility, with due regard to the Company’s risk appetite, the Board evaluates and determines the nature and extent of the risks (including sustainability risks) that the Company is willing to accept in pursuit of its strategic and business objectives. In addition, the Board inculcates risk culture across the business operations of the Group and has put in place a comprehensive range of policies and systems, including parameters of delegated authority, which provide a framework for the identification, reporting and management of risks. It also reviews and monitors the effectiveness of the systems of risk management and internal control on an ongoing basis. Reporting and review activities include review by the Executive Directors and the Board and approval of detailed operational and financial reports, budgets and plans provided by management of the business operations, review by the Board of actual results against budget, review by the Audit Committee of the ongoing work of the internal audit and risk management functions of CKHH, as well as regular business reviews by the Executive Directors and the executive management team of each core business division. Whilst these procedures are designed to identify and manage risks that could adversely impact the achievement of the Group’s business objectives, they do not provide absolute assurance against material mis-statement, errors, losses, fraud or non-compliance. To ensure compliance with the requirements of section 404 of SOX, the Company conducted a SOX compliance project, which assessed the management of internal controls and procedures, and the evaluation of the internal control systems relating to financial reporting of the Company. RISK MANAGEMENT Risk management is integrated into the day-to-day operations of the Group, and is a continuous and proactive process carried out at all levels. Coupled with a strong internal control environment, the Group is committed to effectively managing the risks it faces, be they strategic, financial, operational or compliance, by adopting an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework based on the COSO (the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission) model. The ERM framework facilitates a systematic approach in identifying, assessing and managing risks within the Group. There are ongoing dialogues between the Executive Directors and the management team of each core business division to assess the plausible impact of current and emerging risks and their mitigation measures so as to institute additional controls and deploy appropriate insurance instruments, such as Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance, in minimizing or eliminating potential financial, compliance or other risks to the Group’s businesses. The Group adopts a “top-down and bottom-up” approach with respect to formal risk review and reporting. Such approach involves regular input from each core business unit as well as discussions and reviews by the Executive Directors. On a half-yearly basis, each core business unit is responsible for formally identifying the significant risks their business faces and considering the likelihood of occurrence and potential impact to the business, whilst the Executive Directors provide input after taking a holistic assessment of all the significant risks that the Group faces. Relevant risk information including key mitigation measures and plans are recorded in a risk register to facilitate the ongoing review and tracking of progress. The review of the risk management system is overseen by the Board through the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee reviews the composite Risk Register together with the related risk assessment report every six months, and provides input as and where appropriate so as to ensure the effectiveness of the Group’s risk management system. The following table summarizes the principal risks of the Group and the related mitigation actions. 78 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORTRISK MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW RISK FACTOR RISK DESCRIPTION MANAGEMENT ACTIONS Risks Related to the Financial Position and Need for Capital Funding for product development The research and development of drug candidates, as • Active monitoring of available cash resources against programs and commercialization well as commercialization in the areas of manufacturing, future cash requirements efforts marketing, sales and distribution of such drug candidates, • Diversified sources of funding requires significant expenditures.

REMUNERATION POLICY The remuneration of Mr Christian Lawrence Hogg, Mr Cheng Chig Fung, Johnny and Dr Weiguo Su (Executive Directors) and senior executives is determined by the Remuneration Committee with reference to the expertise and experience of those individuals in the industry, the performance and profitability of the Group and remuneration benchmarks from other local and international companies as well as prevailing market conditions. Senior management also participates in bonus arrangements which are determined in accordance with the performance of the Group and of the individual. The compensation of the Chairman, Mr To Chi Keung, Simon, the Non-executive Directors and the Independent Non-executive Directors of the Company has been structured approximately as to one-third cash (in the form of fixed Directors’ fees) and two-thirds restricted share units bought in the market by the trustee of the Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) (in the form of non-performance based LTIP awards) and they do not receive any performance related remuneration from the Company (Please refer to the Directors’ Report for more information about Directors’ compensation). Such non-performance based LTIP awards vest 25% annually over a four year period. All Directors’ compensation arrangements are approved by the Board of Directors with the relevant Directors declaring their interest and abstaining from voting where it relates to their compensation. In addition, the Nomination Committee of the Company assesses the independence of all the Independent Non-executive Directors every year having regard to the criteria under the HK CG Code. Therefore, the current compensation arrangements will not compromise the independence of the Independent Non-executive Directors. 2021 REMUNERATION Directors’ emoluments comprise payments to Directors from the Company and its subsidiaries.

(9) Retired on March 4, 2022. In 2021, the Remuneration Committee has reviewed the approach to remuneration and reporting on executive remuneration in detail. Aimed at attracting and retaining top talent, the Remuneration Committee appointed an independent advisor, Aon Hewitt Consulting (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (“Aon”) to conduct a compensation benchmarking research on peer group U.S. and China biotech companies. Aon has no other connection with the Company or individual Directors. The Remuneration Committee comprehensively reviewed the Group’s compensation and share-based incentives policies, performed benchmarking research on peer group U.S. and China biotech companies and established an attractive policy to ensure the Group is able to recruit and retain top talent. Vesting of share-based awards under the policy is in line with that peer group. The Committee takes seriously its responsibility to ensure that the executive remuneration practices of the Group drive strong performance, are aligned with the strategy and sustainability of the Group and are appropriate in the context of the external regulatory environment and the expectations of our stakeholders. 88 The Committee consulted with the Group’s largest shareholder when developing its remuneration policy. In reviewing and setting remuneration, including that of Executive Directors, the Committee receives updates on investors’ views from time to time. These lines of communication ensure that emerging best-practice principles are factored into the Committee’s decision-making. The remuneration paid to the members of senior management, including salaries, pension contributions, performance related bonuses and share- based compensation (the annual amortization of share options and LTIP awards), by bands during the year (or for the period of employment in 2021) is set out below: Remuneration Bands Number of Individuals US$200,000 to US$600,000 US$600,000 to US$1,000,000 US$1,000,000 to US$1,400,000 US$1,400,000 to US$1,800,000 1 2 3 2 TECHNICAL COMMITTEE The Technical Committee was chaired by Dr Karen Jean Ferrante with the Chairman Mr To Chi Keung, Simon, Mr Christian Lawrence Hogg and Dr Weiguo Su, Executive Directors, Mr Paul Rutherford Carter and Professor Mok Shu Kam, Tony, both Independent Non-executive Directors, as members.

Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Independence We are independent of the Group in accordance with the HKICPA’s Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (“the Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. To the Shareholders of HUTCHMED (China) Limited (incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability) Opinion What we have audited The consolidated financial statements of HUTCHMED (China) Limited (formerly known as “Hutchison China MediTech Limited”) (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”), which are set out on pages 97 to 150, comprise: the consolidated balance sheets as at 31 December 2021; the consolidated statements of operations for the year then ended; the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the year then ended; the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity for the year then ended; the consolidated statements of cash flows for the year then ended; and • • • • • • Our opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2021, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) and have been properly prepared in compliance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. 92 the notes to the consolidated financial statements, which include significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Key audit matter identified in our audit is related to the allowances for credit losses on accounts receivable and other receivables (except for prepayments). INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORTKey Audit Matter How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter Allowances for credit losses on accounts receivable and other receivables (except for prepayments) Refer to Notes 3, 6 and 7 to the consolidated financial statements. We performed the following audit procedures on the allowance for credit losses on accounts receivable and other receivables (except for prepayments): As described in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, as of December 31, 2021, the gross balance of accounts receivable was US$83.6 million and an allowance for credit losses of less than US$0.1 million was made. As described in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements, as of December 31, 2021, the gross balance of other receivables was US$81.0 million which consisted of the balance of prepayments of US$14.1 million, and no allowance for credit losses was made. As described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the allowances for credit losses were made based on estimate of current expected credit losses to be incurred over the expected life of the receivables. There were significant estimates and judgments by management when developing the current expected credit losses to be incurred over the expected life of the receivables, which in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment and significant audit effort in evaluating the audit evidence related to the accounts receivable and other receivables (except for prepayments) portfolio groups and estimated loss rates used by management. We obtained an understanding of management’s assessment process of allowances for credit losses on accounts receivable and other receivables (except for prepayments) and internal controls and assessed the degree of complexity, subjectivity and uncertainty related to the significant management estimates and judgements used. We evaluated and validated key internal controls relating to management’s estimate of allowances for credit losses on accounts receivable and other receivables (except for prepayments). We evaluated the appropriateness of the model and methodology used by management to develop the current expected credit losses. We assessed the reasonableness of accounts receivable and other receivables (except for prepayments) portfolio groups used by management by evaluating the credit risk characteristics of these receivables. We assessed the reasonableness of estimated loss rates used by management by evaluating the historical default rates and application of forward-looking information. We tested the accuracy and completeness of the underlying data, including historical collection records and aging of the receivables, on a sample basis, by comparing selected items with relevant supporting documents, and tested the mathematical accuracy of allowance for credit losses. Based on the audit procedures performed, we found that the estimates used and judgments made by management in developing the allowances for credit losses on accounts receivable and other receivables (except for prepayments) were supportable in light of available evidence. Other Information The directors of the Group are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises all of the information included in the annual report other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. HUTCHMED (China) Limited 2021 Annual Report 93 • • • • • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied. Responsibilities of Directors for the Consolidated Financial Statements The directors of the Group are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. The directors are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. We report our opinion solely to you, as a body, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with HKSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with HKSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. • 94 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORTFrom the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

HUTCHMED (China) Limited 2021 Annual Report 101 HUTCHMED (CHINA) LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Organization and Nature of Business HUTCHMED (China) Limited (formerly known as “Hutchison China MediTech Limited”) (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together the “Group”) are principally engaged in researching, developing, manufacturing and marketing pharmaceutical products. The Group and its equity investees have research and development facilities and manufacturing plants in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) and sell their products mainly in the PRC, including Hong Kong. In addition, the Group has established international operations in the United States of America (the “U.S.”) and Europe. The Company’s ordinary shares are listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (“HKEX”) (listing completed in June 2021) and the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange, and its American depositary shares (“ADS”) are traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Liquidity As at December 31, 2021, the Group had accumulated losses of US$610,328,000 primarily due to its spending in drug research and development activities. The Group regularly monitors current and expected liquidity requirements to ensure that it maintains sufficient cash balances and adequate credit facilities to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and long term. As at December 31, 2021, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of US$377,542,000, short-term investments of US$634,158,000 and unutilized bank borrowing facilities of US$157,430,000. Short-term investments comprised of bank deposits maturing over three months. The Group’s operating plan includes the continued receipt of dividends from an equity investee. Dividends received for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 were US$49,872,000, US$86,708,000 and US$28,135,000 respectively. Based on the Group’s operating plan, the existing cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and unutilized bank borrowing facilities are considered to be sufficient to meet the cash requirements to fund planned operations and other commitments for at least the next twelve months (the look-forward period used). 102 2.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”). Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. HUTCHMED (China) Limited 2021 Annual Report 103 Foreign Currency Translation The Company’s presentation currency and functional currency is the U.S. dollar (“US$”). The financial statements of its subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the US$ have been translated into the Company’s presentation currency. All assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries are translated using year-end exchange rates and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the year. Translation adjustments are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive (loss)/income in shareholders’ equity. Net foreign currency exchange gains of US$1,671,000, US$3,265,000 and US$246,000 were recorded in other income in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 respectively. Foreign Currency Risk The Group’s operating transactions and its assets and liabilities in the PRC are mainly denominated in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents denominated in RMB are subject to government controls. The value of the RMB is subject to fluctuations from central government policy changes and international economic and political developments that affect the supply and demand of RMB in the foreign exchange market. In the PRC, certain foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions at exchange rates set by the People’s Bank of China (the “PBOC”). Remittances in currencies other than RMB by the Group in the PRC must be processed through the PBOC or other PRC foreign exchange regulatory bodies which require certain supporting documentation in order to complete the remittance. Allowance for Current Expected Credit Losses and Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially expose the Group to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and financial assets not carried at fair value including accounts receivable and other receivables. The Group recognizes an allowance for current expected credit losses on financial assets not carried at fair value. Current expected credit losses are calculated over the expected life of the financial assets on an individual or a portfolio basis considering information available about the counterparties’ credit situation and collectability of the specific cash flows, including information about past events, current conditions and future forecasts. The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk. The Group places substantially all of its cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments in major financial institutions, which management believes are of high credit quality. The Group has a practice to limit the amount of credit exposure to any particular financial institution. Additionally, the Group has policies in place to ensure that sales are made to customers with an appropriate credit history and the Group performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers. Normally the Group does not require collateral from trade debtors. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Group considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on hand and bank deposits and are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. Short-term Investments Short-term investments include deposits placed with banks with original maturities of more than three months but less than one year. 104 Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from customers based on their outstanding invoices. The allowance for credit losses reflects the Group's current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the receivables. The Group considers various factors in establishing, monitoring, and adjusting its allowance for credit losses including the aging of the accounts and aging trends, the historical level of charge-offs, and specific exposures related to particular customers. The Group also monitors other risk factors and forward-looking information, such as country risk, when determining credit limits for customers and establishing adequate allowances for credit losses. Accounts receivable are written off after all reasonable means to collect the full amount (including litigation, where appropriate) have been exhausted. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost method. The cost of finished goods comprises raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity). Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses. A provision for excess and obsolete inventory will be made based primarily on forecasts of product demand and production requirements. The excess balance determined by this analysis becomes the basis for excess inventory charge and the written- down value of the inventory becomes its cost. Written-down inventory is not written up if market conditions improve. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment consist of buildings, leasehold improvements, plant and equipment, furniture and fixtures, other equipment and motor vehicles. Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets. Buildings Plant and equipment Furniture and fixtures, other equipment 20 years 5-10 years and motor vehicles Leasehold improvements 4-5 years Shorter of (a) 5 years or (b) remaining term of lease Additions and improvements that extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Group evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets in accordance with authoritative guidance on accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. The Group evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. If indicators of impairment exist, the first step of the impairment test is performed to assess if the carrying value of the net assets exceeds the undiscounted cash flows of the assets. If yes, the second step of the impairment test is performed in order to determine if the carrying value of the net assets exceeds the fair value. If yes, impairment is recognized for the excess. Investments in Equity Investees Investments in equity investees over which the Group has significant influence are accounted for using the equity method. The Group evaluates equity method investments for impairment when events or circumstances suggest that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment charge would be recognized in earnings for a decline in value that is determined to be other-than-temporary after assessing the severity and duration of the impairment and the likelihood of recovery before disposal. The investments are recorded at fair value only if impairment is recognized. Leasehold Land Leasehold land represents fees paid to acquire the right to use the land on which various plants and buildings are situated for a specified period of time from the date the respective right was granted and are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment loss, if any. Amortization is computed using the straight- line basis over the lease period of 50 years. HUTCHMED (China) Limited 2021 Annual Report 105 Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price plus fair value of non-controlling interests over the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on at least an annual basis or when an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. When performing an evaluation of goodwill impairment, the Group has the option to first assess qualitative factors, such as significant events and changes to expectations and activities that may have occurred since the last impairment evaluation, to determine if it is more likely than not that goodwill might be impaired. If as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative fair value test is performed to determine if the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value. Other Intangible Assets Other intangible assets with finite useful lives are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment loss, if any. Amortization is computed using the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Borrowings Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of debt issuance costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of debt issuance costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Ordinary Shares The Company’s ordinary shares are stated at par value of US$0.10 per ordinary share. The difference between the consideration received, net of issuance cost, and the par value is recorded in additional paid-in capital. Treasury Shares The Group accounts for treasury shares under the cost method. The treasury shares are purchased for the purpose of the LTIP and held by a trustee appointed by the Group (the “Trustee”) prior to vesting. Share-Based Compensation Share options The Group recognizes share-based compensation expense on share options granted to employees and directors based on their estimated grant date fair value using the Polynomial model. This Polynomial pricing model uses various inputs to measure fair value, including the market value of the Company’s underlying ordinary shares at the grant date, contractual terms, estimated volatility, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields. The Group recognizes share-based compensation expense in the consolidated statements of operations on a graded vesting basis over the requisite service period, and accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Share options are classified as equity-settled awards. Share-based compensation expense, when recognized, is charged to the consolidated statements of operations with the corresponding entry to additional paid-in capital. LTIP The Group recognizes the share-based compensation expense on the LTIP awards based on a fixed or determinable monetary amount on a straight-line basis for each annual tranche awarded over the requisite period. For LTIP awards with performance targets, prior to their determination date, the amount of LTIP awards that is expected to vest takes into consideration the achievement of the performance conditions and the extent to which the performance conditions are likely to be met. Performance conditions vary by awards, and may include targets for shareholder returns, financings, free cash flows, revenues, net profit after taxes and the achievement of clinical and regulatory milestones. 106 These LTIP awards are classified as liability-settled awards before the determination date (i.e. the date when the achievement of any performance conditions are known), as they settle in a variable number of shares based on a determinable monetary amount, which is determined upon the actual achievement of performance targets. As the extent of achievement of the performance targets is uncertain prior to the determination date, a probability based on management’s assessment of the achievement of the performance targets has been assigned to calculate the amount to be recognized as an expense over the requisite period. After the determination date or if the LTIP awards have no performance conditions, the LTIP awards are classified as equity-settled awards. If the performance target is achieved, the Group will pay the determined monetary amount to the Trustee to purchase ordinary shares of the Company or the equivalent ADS. Any cumulative compensation expense previously recognized as a liability will be transferred to additional paid-in capital, as an equity-settled award. If the performance target is not achieved, no ordinary shares or ADS of the Company will be purchased and the amount previously recorded in the liability will be reversed and included in the consolidated statements of operations. Defined Contribution Plans The Group’s subsidiaries in the PRC participate in a government-mandated multi-employer defined contribution plan pursuant to which certain retirement, medical and other welfare benefits are provided to employees. The relevant labor regulations require the Group’s subsidiaries in the PRC to pay the local labor and social welfare authority’s monthly contributions at a stated contribution rate based on the monthly basic compensation of qualified employees. The relevant local labor and social welfare authorities are responsible for meeting all retirement benefits obligations and the Group’s subsidiaries in the PRC have no further commitments beyond their monthly contributions. The contributions to the plan are expensed as incurred. The Group also makes payments to other defined contribution plans for the benefit of employees employed by subsidiaries outside the PRC. The defined contribution plans are generally funded by the relevant companies and by payments from employees. The Group’s contributions to defined contribution plans for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 amounted to US$7,181,000, US$2,660,000 and US$3,479,000 respectively. Revenue Recognition Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Group from a customer, are also excluded from revenue. The Group recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a good, service or license to a customer. (i) Goods and services The Group principally generates revenue from (1) sales of goods, which are the manufacture or purchase and distribution of pharmaceutical products and other consumer health products, and (2) provision of services, which are the provision of sales, distribution and marketing services to pharmaceutical manufacturers. The Group evaluates whether it is the principal or agent for these contracts. Where the Group obtains control of the goods for distribution, it is the principal (i.e. recognizes sales of goods on a gross basis). Where the Group does not obtain control of the goods for distribution, it is the agent (i.e. recognizes provision of services on a net basis). Control is primarily evidenced by taking physical possession and inventory risk of the goods. Revenue from sales of goods is recognized when the customer takes possession of the goods. This usually occurs upon completed delivery of the goods to the customer site. The amount of revenue recognized is adjusted for expected sales incentives as stipulated in the contract, which are generally issued to customers as direct discounts at the point-of-sale or indirectly in the form of rebates. Sales incentives are estimated using the expected value method. Additionally, sales are generally made with a limited right of return under certain conditions. Revenues are recorded net of provisions for sales discounts and returns. Revenue from provision of services is recognized when the benefits of the services transfer to the customer over time, which is based on the proportionate value of services rendered as determined under the terms of the relevant contract. Additionally, when the amounts that can be invoiced correspond directly with the value to the customer for performance completed to date, the Group recognizes revenue from provision of services based on amounts that can be invoiced to the customer. HUTCHMED (China) Limited 2021 Annual Report 107 Deferred revenue is recognized if consideration is received in advance of transferring control of the goods or rendering of services. Accounts receivable is recognized if the Group has an unconditional right to bill the customer, which is generally when the customer takes possession of the goods or services are rendered. Payment terms differ by subsidiary and customer, but generally range from 45 to 180 days from the invoice date. (ii) License and collaboration contracts The Group’s Oncology/Immunology reportable segment includes revenue generated from license and collaboration contracts, which generally contain multiple performance obligations including (1) the license to the commercialization rights of a drug compound and (2) the research and development services for each specified treatment indication, which are accounted for separately if they are distinct, i.e. if a product or service is separately identifiable from other items in the arrangement and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. The transaction price generally includes fixed and variable consideration in the form of upfront payment, research and development cost reimbursements, contingent milestone payments and sales-based royalties. Contingent milestone payments are not included in the transaction price until it becomes probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur, which is generally when the specified milestone is achieved. The allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation is based on the relative standalone selling prices of each performance obligation determined at the inception of the contract. The Group estimates the standalone selling prices based on the income approach. Control of the license to the drug compounds transfers at the inception date of the collaboration agreements and consequently, amounts allocated to this performance obligation are generally recognized at a point in time. Conversely, research and development services for each specified indication are performed over time and amounts allocated to these performance obligations are generally recognized over time using cost inputs as a measure of progress. The Group has determined that research and development expenses provide an appropriate depiction of measure of progress for the research and development services. Changes to estimated cost inputs may result in a cumulative catch-up adjustment. Royalty revenues are recognized as future sales occur as they meet the requirements for the sales-usage based royalty exception. Deferred revenue is recognized if allocated consideration is received in advance of the Group rendering research and development services or earning royalties on future sales. Accounts receivable is recognized based on the terms of the contract and when the Group has an unconditional right to bill the customer, which is generally when research and development services are rendered. Research and Development Expenses Research and development expenses include the following: (i) research and development costs, which are expensed as incurred; (ii) acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) expenses, which include the initial costs of externally developed IPR&D projects, acquired directly in a transaction other than a business combination, that do not have an alternative future use; and (iii) milestone payment obligations for externally developed IPR&D projects incurred prior to regulatory approval of the product in the in-licensed territory, which are accrued when the event requiring payment of the milestone occurs (milestone payment obligations incurred upon regulatory approval are recorded as other intangible assets). Collaborative Arrangements The Group enters into collaborative arrangements with collaboration partners that fall under the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 808, Collaborative Arrangements (“ASC 808”). The Group records all expenditures for such collaborative arrangements in research and development expenses as incurred, including payments to third party vendors and reimbursements to collaboration partners, if any. Reimbursements from collaboration partners are recorded as reductions to research and development expenses and accrued when they can be contractually claimed. Government Grants Grants from governments are recognized at their fair values. Government grants that are received in advance are deferred and recognized in the consolidated statements of operations over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate. Government grants in relation to the achievement of stages of research and development projects are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations when amounts have been received and all attached conditions have been met. Non-refundable grants received without any further obligations or conditions attached are recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of operations. 108 Leases In an operating lease, a lessee obtains control of only the use of the underlying asset, but not the underlying asset itself. An operating lease is recognized as a right-of-use asset with a corresponding liability at the date which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. The Group recognizes an obligation to make lease payments equal to the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Group will exercise that option. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments: (i) fixed payments; (ii) variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate; and (iii) payments of penalties for terminating the lease if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option, if any. Lease liabilities exclude the following payments that are generally accounted for separately: (i) non-lease components, such as maintenance and security service fees and value added tax, and (ii) any payments that a lessee makes before the lease commencement date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or if that rate cannot be determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds in its currency and jurisdiction necessary to obtain an asset of similar value, economic environment and terms and conditions. An asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term is recognized that consists of the initial measurement of the operating lease liability, any lease payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, any initial direct cost incurred by the Group and any restoration costs. After commencement of the operating lease, the Group recognizes lease expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The right-of-use asset is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any impairment provision. The amortization of the right-of-use asset represents the difference between the straight-line lease expense and the accretion of interest on the lease liability each period. The interest amount is used to accrete the lease liability and to amortize the right-of-use asset. There is no amount recorded as interest expense. Payments associated with short-term leases are recognized as lease expenses on a straight-line basis over the period of the leases. Subleases of right-of-use assets are accounted for similar to other leases. As an intermediate lessor, the Group separately accounts for the head-lease and sublease unless it is relieved of its primary obligation under the head-lease. Sublease income is recorded on a gross basis separate from the head-lease expenses. If the total remaining lease cost on the head-lease is more than the anticipated sublease income for the lease term, this is an indicator that the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset associated with the head-lease may not be recoverable, and the right-of-use asset will be assessed for impairment. Income Taxes The Group accounts for income taxes under the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the income tax rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some of the net deferred income tax asset will not be realized. The Group accounts for an uncertain tax position in the consolidated financial statements only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable based on its technical merits and consideration of the relevant tax authority’s widely understood administrative practices and precedents. If the recognition threshold is met, the Group records the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Group recognizes interest and penalties for income taxes, if any, under income tax payable on its consolidated balance sheets and under other expenses in its consolidated statements of operations. Losses per Share Basic losses per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of outstanding ordinary shares in issue during the year. Weighted average number of outstanding ordinary shares in issue excludes treasury shares. HUTCHMED (China) Limited 2021 Annual Report 109 Diluted losses per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of outstanding ordinary shares in issue and dilutive ordinary share equivalents outstanding during the year. Dilutive ordinary share equivalents include ordinary shares and treasury shares issuable upon the exercise or settlement of share-based awards or warrants issued by the Company using the treasury stock method. The computation of diluted losses per share does not assume conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect. Segment Reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief executive officer who is the Group’s chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker reviews the Group’s internal reporting in order to assess performance and allocate resources. Profit Appropriation and Statutory Reserves The Group’s subsidiaries and equity investees established in the PRC are required to make appropriations to certain non-distributable reserve funds. In accordance with the relevant laws and regulations established in the PRC, the Company’s subsidiaries registered as wholly-owned foreign enterprise have to make appropriations from their after-tax profits (as determined under generally accepted accounting principles in the PRC (“PRC GAAP”)) to reserve funds including general reserve fund, enterprise expansion fund and staff bonus and welfare fund. The appropriation to the general reserve fund must be at least 10% of the after-tax profits calculated in accordance with PRC GAAP. Appropriation is not required if the general reserve fund has reached 50% of the registered capital of the company. Appropriations to the enterprise expansion fund and staff bonus and welfare fund are made at the respective company’s discretion. For the Group's equity investees, the amount of appropriations to these funds are made at the discretion of their respective boards. In addition, Chinese domestic companies must make appropriations from their after-tax profits as determined under PRC GAAP to non-distributable reserve funds including statutory surplus fund and discretionary surplus fund. The appropriation to the statutory surplus fund must be 10% of the after-tax profits as determined under PRC GAAP. Appropriation is not required if the statutory surplus fund has reached 50% of the registered capital of the company. Appropriation to the discretionary surplus fund is made at the respective company’s discretion. The use of the general reserve fund, enterprise expansion fund, statutory surplus fund and discretionary surplus fund is restricted to the offsetting of losses or increases to the registered capital of the respective company. The staff bonus and welfare fund is a liability in nature and is restricted to fund payments of special bonus to employees and for the collective welfare of employees. All these reserves are not permitted to be transferred to the company as cash dividends, loans or advances, nor can they be distributed except under liquidation. 4.

Share-based Compensation (i) Share-based Compensation of the Company The Company conditionally adopted a share option scheme on June 4, 2005 (as amended on March 21, 2007) and such scheme has a term of 10 years. It expired in 2016 and no further share options can be granted. Another share option scheme was conditionally adopted on April 24, 2015 (the “Hutchmed Share Option Scheme”). Pursuant to the Hutchmed Share Option Scheme, the Board of Directors of the Company may, at its discretion, offer any employees and directors (including Executive and Non-executive Directors but excluding Independent Non-executive Directors) of the Company, holding companies of the Company and any of their subsidiaries or affiliates, and subsidiaries or affiliates of the Company share options to subscribe for shares of the Company. As at December 31, 2021, the aggregate number of shares issuable under the Hutchmed Share Option Scheme was 50,059,198 ordinary shares and the aggregate number of shares issuable under the prior share option scheme which expired in 2016 was 705,060 ordinary shares. The Company will issue new shares to satisfy share option exercises. Additionally, the number of shares authorized but unissued was 635,469,150 ordinary shares. Share options granted are generally subject to a four-year vesting schedule, depending on the nature and the purpose of the grant. Share options subject to the four-year vesting schedule, in general, vest 25% upon the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date as defined in the grant letter, and 25% every subsequent year. However, certain share option grants may have a different vesting schedule as approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. No outstanding share options will be exercisable or subject to vesting after the expiry of a maximum of eight to ten years from the date of grant. 120 A summary of the Company’s share option activity and related information is as follows: Outstanding at January 1, 2019 Granted Exercised Cancelled Expired Outstanding at December 31, 2019 Granted Exercised Cancelled Expired Outstanding at December 31, 2020 Granted Exercised Cancelled Expired Outstanding at December 31, 2021 Vested and exercisable at December 31, 2020 Vested and exercisable at December 31, 2021 Number of share options 18,554,850 2,315,000 (329,000) (1,012,110) (96,180) 19,432,560 15,437,080 (480,780) (4,486,200) (741,670) 29,160,990 10,174,840 (815,190) (1,287,650) (42,400) 37,190,590 11,529,280 16,077,770 Weighted average exercise price in US$ per share 4.57 4.12 0.76 6.33 6.51 4.48 4.66 1.23 5.02 6.46 4.49 5.96 3.01 5.50 5.52 4.88 3.74 4.24 Weighted average remaining contractual life (years) 7.35 Aggregate intrinsic value (in US$’000) 19,277 6.67 24,316 7.21 53,990 7.04 82,377 4.57 29,433 4.91 46,491 In estimating the fair value of share options granted, the following assumptions were used in the Polynomial model for awards granted in the periods indicated: Weighted average grant date fair value of share options (in US$ per share) Significant inputs into the valuation model (weighted average): Exercise price (in US$ per share) Share price at effective date of grant (in US$ per share) Expected volatility (note (a)) Risk-free interest rate (note (b)) Contractual life of share options (in years) Expected dividend yield (note (c)) Notes: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2.24 2020 1.76 5.96 5.91 41.1% 1.62% 10 0% 4.66 4.66 42.6% 0.59% 10 0% 2019 1.33 4.12 3.98 38.4% 0.56% 10 0% (a) The Company calculated its expected volatility with reference to the historical volatility prior to the issuances of share options. (b) For share options exercisable into ordinary shares, the risk-free interest rates reference the sovereign yield of the United Kingdom because the Company’s ordinary shares are currently listed on AIM and denominated in £. For share options exercisable into ADS, the risk-free interest rates reference the U.S. Treasury yield curves because the Company’s ADS are currently listed on the NASDAQ and denominated in US$. (c) The Company has not declared or paid any dividends and does not currently expect to do so prior to the exercise of the granted share options, and therefore uses an expected dividend yield of zero in the Polynomial model.

The following table summarizes the Company’s share option exercises: Cash received from share option exercises Total intrinsic value of share option exercises Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 2,452 2,999 (in US$’000) 593 2,475 251 1,189 The Group recognizes compensation expense on a graded vesting approach over the requisite service period.

(ii) LTIP The Company grants awards under the LTIP to participating directors and employees, giving them a conditional right to receive ordinary shares of the Company or the equivalent ADS (collectively the “Awarded Shares”) to be purchased by the Trustee up to a cash amount. Vesting will depend upon continued employment of the award holder with the Group and will otherwise be at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company. Additionally, some awards are subject to change based on annual performance targets prior to their determination date. LTIP awards prior to the determination date Performance targets vary by award, and may include targets for shareholder returns, financings, free cash flows, revenues, net profit after taxes and the achievement of clinical and regulatory milestones. As the extent of achievement of the performance targets is uncertain prior to the determination date, a probability based on management’s assessment on the achievement of the performance target has been assigned to calculate the amount to be recognized as an expense over the requisite period with a corresponding entry to liability. LTIP awards after the determination date Upon the determination date, the Company will pay a determined monetary amount, up to the maximum cash amount based on the actual achievement of the performance target specified in the award, to the Trustee to purchase the Awarded Shares. Any cumulative compensation expense previously recognized as a liability will be transferred to additional paid-in capital, as an equity-settled award. If the performance target is not achieved, no Awarded Shares of the Company will be purchased and the amount previously recorded in the liability will be reversed through share-based compensation expense. 122 Granted awards under the LTIP are as follows: Grant date August 5, 2019 October 10, 2019 April 20, 2020 April 20, 2020 April 20, 2020 April 20, 2020 August 12, 2020 August 12, 2020 March 26, 2021 September 1, 2021 September 1, 2021 October 20, 2021 December 14, 2021 December 14, 2021 Notes: Maximum cash amount (in US$ millions) 0.7 0.1 5.3 37.4 1.9 0.2 2.1 0.3 57.3 7.3 0.5 1.7 0.1 0.1 Covered financial years 2019 note (b) 2019 2020 note (b) note (c) 2020 note (b) 2021 2021 note (b) note (b) note (b) note (c) Performance target determination date note (a) note (b) note (d) note (a) note (b) note (c) note (a) note (b) note (a) note (a) note (b) note (b) note (b) note (c) (a) The annual performance target determination date is the date of the announcement of the Group’s annual results for the covered financial year and vesting occurs two business days after the announcement of the Group’s annual results for the financial year falling two years after the covered financial year to which the LTIP award relates. (b) This award does not stipulate performance targets and is subject to a vesting schedule of 25% on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant. (c) This award does not stipulate performance targets and will be vested on the first anniversary of the date of grant. (d) This award does not stipulate performance targets and vesting occurs two business days after the announcement of the Group’s annual results for the financial year falling two years after the covered financial year to which the LTIP award relates. The Trustee has been set up solely for the purpose of purchasing and holding the Awarded Shares during the vesting period on behalf of the Company using funds provided by the Company. On the determination date, if any, the Company will determine the cash amount, based on the actual achievement of each annual performance target, for the Trustee to purchase the Awarded Shares. The Awarded Shares will then be held by the Trustee until they are vested.

License and collaboration agreement with Eli Lilly On October 8, 2013, the Group entered into a licensing, co-development and commercialization agreement in China with Eli Lilly and Company (“Lilly”) relating to Elunate (“Lilly Agreement”), also known as fruquintinib, a targeted oncology therapy for the treatment of various types of solid tumors. Under the terms of the Lilly Agreement, the Group is entitled to receive a series of payments up to US$86.5 million, including upfront payments and development and regulatory approval milestones. Development costs after the first development milestone are shared between the Group and Lilly. Elunate was successfully commercialized in China in November 2018, and the Group receives tiered royalties in the range of 15% to 20% on all sales in China. In December 2018, the Group entered into various amendments to the Lilly Agreement (the “2018 Amendment”). Under the terms of the 2018 Amendment, the Group is entitled to determine and conduct future life cycle indications (“LCI”) development of Elunate in China beyond the three initial indications specified in the Lilly Agreement and will be responsible for all associated development costs. In return, the Group will receive additional regulatory approval milestones of US$20 million for each LCI approved, for up to three LCI or US$60 million in aggregate, and will increase tiered royalties to a range of 15% to 29% on all Elunate sales in China upon the commercial launch of the first LCI. Additionally, through the 2018 Amendment, Lilly has provided consent, and freedom to operate, for the Group to enter into joint development collaborations with certain third- party pharmaceutical companies to explore combination treatments of Elunate and various immunotherapy agents. The 2018 Amendment also provided the Group rights to promote Elunate in provinces that represent 30% to 40% of the sales of Elunate in China upon the occurrence of certain commercial milestones by Lilly. Such rights were further amended below. 126 In July 2020, the Group entered into an amendment to the Lilly Agreement (the “2020 Amendment”) relating to the expansion of the Group’s role in the commercialization of Elunate across all of China. Under the terms of the 2020 Amendment, the Group is responsible for providing promotion and marketing services, including the development and execution of all on-the-ground medical detailing, promotion and local and regional marketing activities, in return for service fees on sales of Elunate made by Lilly. In October 2020, the Group commenced such promotion and marketing services. In addition, development and regulatory approval milestones for an initial indication under the Lilly Agreement were increased by US$10 million in lieu of cost reimbursement. Upfront and cumulative milestone payments according to the Lilly Agreement received up to December 31, 2021 are summarized as follows: Upfront payment Development milestone payments achieved (in US$’000) 6,500 40,000 The Lilly Agreement has the following performance obligations: (1) the license for the commercialization rights to Elunate and (2) the research and development services for the specified indications. The transaction price includes the upfront payment, research and development cost reimbursements, milestone payments and sales-based royalties. Milestone payments were not included in the transaction price until it became probable that a significant reversal of revenue would not occur, which is generally when the specified milestone is achieved. The allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation was based on the relative standalone selling prices of each performance obligation determined at the inception of the contract. Based on this estimation, proportionate amounts of transaction price to be allocated to the license to Elunate and the research and development services were 90% and 10% respectively. Control of the license to Elunate transferred at the inception date of the agreement and consequently, amounts allocated to this performance obligation were recognized at inception. Conversely, research and development services for each specified indication are performed over time and amounts allocated are recognized over time using the prior and estimated future development costs for Elunate as a measure of progress. Royalties are recognized as future sales occur as they meet the requirements for the sales-usage based royalty exception. The 2018 Amendment is a separate contract as it added distinct research and development services for the LCIs to the Lilly Agreement. The 2020 Amendment related to the promotion and marketing services is a separate contract as it added distinct services to the Lilly Agreement. Such promotion and marketing services are recognized over time based on amounts that can be invoiced to Lilly. The 2020 Amendment related to the additional development and regulatory approval milestone amounts is a modification as it only affected the transaction price of research and development services for a specific indication under the Lilly Agreement, and therefore, such additional milestone amounts will be included in the transaction price accounted under the Lilly Agreement once the specified milestones are achieved. Revenue recognized under the Lilly Agreement and subsequent amendments is as follows: Goods—Marketed Products Services—Commercialization—Marketed Products —Collaboration Research and Development Royalties Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 15,792 27,428 4,491 10,292 58,003 (in US$’000) 11,329 3,734 1,991 4,890 21,944 8,113 — 4,005 2,653 14,771 HUTCHMED (China) Limited 2021 Annual Report 127 License and collaboration agreement with AstraZeneca On December 21, 2011, the Group and AstraZeneca AB (publ) (“AZ”) entered into a global licensing, co- development, and commercialization agreement for Orpathys (“AZ Agreement”), also known as savolitinib, a novel targeted therapy and a highly selective inhibitor of the c-Met receptor tyrosine kinase for the treatment of cancer. Under the terms of the AZ Agreement, the Group is entitled to receive a series of payments up to US$140 million, including upfront payments and development and first-sale milestones. Additionally, the AZ Agreement contains possible significant future commercial sale milestones. Development costs for Orpathys in China will be shared between the Group and AZ, with the Group continuing to lead the development in China. AZ will lead and pay for the development of Orpathys for the rest of the world. Orpathys was successfully commercialized in China in July 2021, and the Group receives fixed royalties of 30% based on all sales in China. Should Orpathys be successfully commercialized outside China, the Group would receive tiered royalties from 9% to 13% on all sales outside of China. In August 2016 (as amended in December 2020), the Group entered into an amendment to the AZ Agreement whereby the Group shall pay the first approximately US$50 million of phase III clinical trial costs related to developing Orpathys for renal cell carcinoma (“RCC”), and remaining costs will be shared between the Group and AZ. Subject to approval of Orpathys in RCC, the Group would receive additional tiered royalties on all sales outside of China, with the incremental royalty rates determined based on actual sharing of development costs. In November 2021, the Group entered into an additional amendment which revised the sharing between the Group and AZ of development costs for Orpathys in China for non-small cell lung cancer, as well as adding potential development milestones. Upfront and cumulative milestone payments according to the AZ Agreement received up to December 31, 2021 are summarized as follows: Upfront payment Development milestone payments achieved First-sale milestone payment achieved (in US$’000) 20,000 25,000 25,000 The AZ Agreement has the following performance obligations: (1) the license for the commercialization rights to Orpathys and (2) the research and development services for the specified indications. The transaction price includes the upfront payment, research and development cost reimbursements, milestone payments and sales-based royalties. Milestone payments were not included in the transaction price until it became probable that a significant reversal of revenue would not occur, which is generally when the specified milestone is achieved. The allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation was based on the relative standalone selling prices of each performance obligation determined at the inception of the contract. Based on this estimation, proportionate amounts of transaction price to be allocated to the license to Orpathys and the research and development services were 95% and 5% respectively. Control of the license to Orpathys transferred at the inception date of the agreement and consequently, amounts allocated to this performance obligation were recognized at inception. Conversely, research and development services for each specified indication are performed over time and amounts allocated are recognized over time using the prior and estimated future development costs for Orpathys as a measure of progress. Revenue recognized under the AZ Agreement and subsequent amendments is as follows: Goods—Marketed Products Services—Collaboration Research and Development Royalties Licensing Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 6,509 14,113 4,772 23,661 49,055 (in US$’000) — 7,780 — — 7,780 — 11,527 — — 11,527 128 20. In-Licensing arrangement On August 7, 2021, the Group and Epizyme, Inc. (“Epizyme”) entered into a license agreement (the “In- license Agreement”) for tazemetostat, a novel inhibitor of EZH2 that is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of certain patients with epithelioid sarcoma and follicular lymphoma. The Group will be responsible for the development and commercialization of tazemetostat in the PRC, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan (the “Territory”) and also holds rights to manufacture tazemetostat for the Territory. The Group also received a 4-year warrant, exercisable up to August 7, 2025, to purchase up to 5,653,000 shares of Epizyme common stock for an exercise price of US$11.50 per share. Under the terms of the In-license Agreement and warrant, the Group paid Epizyme a US$25 million upfront payment and is obligated for a series of success-based payments up to US$110 million in development and regulatory milestones and up to US$175 million in sales milestones. Success-based payments are recognized when the related milestone is achieved. After tazemetostat is commercialized in the Territory, the Group will incur tiered royalties based on net sales. As at December 31, 2021, no amounts of development and regulatory milestones, sales milestones or royalties had been paid. The US$25 million upfront payment was first allocated to the warrant for its initial fair value of US$15 million, and the remainder was allocated to the rights to tazemetostat which were expensed to research and development expense as in-process research and development. The warrant was recorded as a financial asset at fair value with changes to fair value recognized to the consolidated statements of operations. As at December 31, 2021, the warrant had not been exercised. For the year ended December 31, 2021, a fair value loss of US$12.5 million was recognized to other expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. In estimating the fair value of the warrant, the following assumptions were used in the Black Scholes model for the dates indicated: Fair value of the warrant (in US$’000) Significant inputs into the valuation model: Exercise price (in US$ per share) Share price (in US$ per share) Expected volatility (note (a)) Risk-free interest rate (note (b)) Remaining contractual life of the warrant (in years) Expected dividend yield (note (c)) Notes: August 7, 2021 15,000 December 31, 2021 2,452 11.50 6.47 74.48% 0.59% 4.00 0% 11.50 2.50 72.03% 1.05% 3.60 0% (a) Expected volatility references the historical volatility for the remaining contractual life of the warrant. (b) The risk-free interest rates reference the U.S. Treasury yield curves because Epizyme’s common stock is currently listed on the NASDAQ and denominated in US$. (c) Epizyme has not declared or paid any dividends and the Group does not currently expect it to do so within the remaining contractual life of the warrant.

For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Group has incurred research and development expenses of US$18,408,000, US$8,291,000 and US$2,921,000 respectively, related to such collaborative arrangements. 22. Government Grants Government grants in the Oncology/Immunology segment are primarily given in support of R&D activities and are conditional upon i) the Group spending a predetermined amount, regardless of success or failure of the research and development projects and/or ii) the achievement of certain stages of research and development projects being approved by the relevant PRC government authority. They are refundable to the government if the conditions, if any, are not met. Government grants in the Other Ventures segment are primarily given to promote local initiatives. These government grants may be subject to ongoing reporting and monitoring by the government over the period of the grant. Government grants, which are deferred and recognized in the consolidated statements of operations over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate, are recognized in other payable, accruals and advance receipts (Note 14) and other non-current liabilities. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Group received government grants of US$9,095,000, US$4,724,000 and US$8,742,000 respectively.

Gain on divestment of an equity investee In March 2021, the Group entered into a sale and purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with a third party to sell its entire investment in HBYS with closing subject to regulatory approval in the PRC. On September 28, 2021, the Group completed the divestment, for cash consideration of US$159.1 million. On May 13, 2021 and September 23, 2021, HBYS had declared dividends to shareholders of US$46.5 million and US$59.7 million respectively which were related to prior year undistributed profits and distributions of a land bonus payment. Based on the SPA, the Group is entitled to a portion of such dividends and the third party will settle these amounts, net of taxes, after HBYS completes the distribution. As at December 31, 2021, US$46.4 million of dividends receivable, net of taxes, from the third party was recorded in other receivables (Note 7). In addition, the Group and Hutchison Whampoa Enterprises Limited, an affiliate of CK Hutchison Holdings Limited (“CK Hutchison”), entered into a license agreement on June 15, 2021, conditional upon the completion of the divestment, to grant a continuing right to use the “Hutchison Whampoa” brand by HBYS, and the Group agrees to pay HK$12 million (approximately US$1.5 million) per year with aggregate amounts not to exceed HK$120 million (approximately US$15.4 million). On September 28, 2021, the Group recorded the present value of future branding liability payments of US$12.7 million. As at December 31, 2021, US$1.5 million and US$9.8 million were included in amounts due to related parties (Note 24(ii)) and other non-current liabilities respectively.

Income Taxes (i) Income tax expense Current tax HK (note (a)) PRC (note (b) and (c)) U.S. and others (note (d)) Total current tax Deferred income tax (benefits)/expense Income tax expense Notes: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 (in US$’000) 310 15,909 417 16,636 (4,718) 11,918 457 872 219 1,548 3,281 4,829 321 708 636 1,665 1,609 3,274 (a) The Company, three subsidiaries incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and its Hong Kong subsidiaries are subject to Hong Kong profits tax. Under the Hong Kong two-tiered profits tax rates regime, the first HK$2.0 million (US$0.3 million) of assessable profits of qualifying corporations will be taxed at 8.25%, with the remaining assessable profits taxed at 16.5%. Hong Kong profits tax has been provided for at the relevant rates on the estimated assessable profits less estimated available tax losses, if any, of these entities as applicable. (b) Taxation in the PRC has been provided for at the applicable rate on the estimated assessable profits less estimated available tax losses, if any, in each entity. Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”), the standard enterprise income tax rate is 25%. In addition, the EIT Law provides for a preferential tax rate of 15% for companies which qualify as HNTE. HUTCHMED Limited and its wholly-owned subsidiary HUTCHMED (Suzhou) Limited (formerly known as “Hutchison MediPharma (Suzhou) Limited”) qualify as a HNTE up to December 31, 2022 and 2023 respectively. Pursuant to the EIT law, a 10% withholding tax is levied on dividends paid by PRC companies to their foreign investors. A lower withholding tax rate of 5% is applicable under the China-HK Tax Arrangement if direct foreign investors with at least 25% equity interest in the PRC companies are Hong Kong tax residents, and meet the conditions or requirements pursuant to the relevant PRC tax regulations regarding beneficial ownership. Since the equity holders of the equity investees of the Company are Hong Kong incorporated companies and Hong Kong tax residents, and meet the aforesaid conditions or requirements, the Company has used 5% to provide for deferred tax liabilities on retained earnings which are anticipated to be distributed. As at December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the amounts accrued in deferred tax liabilities relating to withholding tax on dividends were determined on the basis that 100% of the distributable reserves of the equity investees operating in the PRC will be distributed as dividends. Pursuant to PRC Bulletin on Issues of Enterprise Income Tax and Indirect Transfers of Assets by Non-PRC Resident Enterprises, an indirect transfer of a PRC resident enterprise by a non-PRC resident enterprise, via the transfer of an offshore intermediate holding company, shall be subject to PRC withholding tax under certain conditions. (c) Current tax in the PRC for the year ended December 31, 2021 includes US$14.4 million arising from the indirect disposal of HBYS (Note 23), calculated at 10% of the excess of the disposal proceeds over the cost of acquiring the equity investment in HBYS. (d) The Company’s subsidiary in the U.S. with operations primarily in New Jersey and New York states is subject to U.S. taxes, primarily federal and state taxes, which have been provided for at approximately 21% (federal) and 0% to 11.5% (state tax) on the estimated assessable profit over the reporting years. Certain income receivable by the Company is subject to U.S. withholding tax of 30%. Two of the Group’s subsidiaries are subject to corporate tax in the UK and EU countries at 19% and 20% to 25%, respectively, on the estimated assessable profits in relation to their presence in these countries. 134 The reconciliation of the Group’s reported income tax expense to the theoretical tax amount that would arise using the tax rates of the Company against the Group’s loss before income taxes and equity in earnings of equity investees is as follows: Loss before income taxes and equity in earnings of equity investees Tax calculated at the statutory tax rate of the Company Tax effects of: Different tax rates applicable in different jurisdictions Tax valuation allowance Preferential tax rate difference Preferential tax deduction and credits Expenses not deductible for tax purposes Utilization of previously unrecognized tax losses Withholding tax on undistributed earnings of PRC entities Others Income tax expense (ii) Deferred tax assets and liabilities Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 (in US$’000) (215,740) (35,597) (189,734) (31,306) (141,105) (23,282) 136 63,975 (148) (29,838) 8,684 (186) 3,153 1,739 11,918 4,025 46,321 (154) (18,814) 3,476 (114) 3,962 (2,567) 4,829 2,027 25,498 (177) (5,444) 4,098 (285) 1,894 (1,055) 3,274 The significant components of deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows: Deferred tax assets Cumulative tax losses Others Total deferred tax assets Less: Valuation allowance Deferred tax assets Deferred tax liabilities Undistributed earnings from PRC entities Others Deferred tax liabilities December 31, 2021 2020 (in US$’000) 186,832 12,269 199,101 (189,700) 9,401 117,064 6,829 123,893 (122,378) 1,515 2,720 45 2,765 4,994 69 5,063 The movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows: As at January 1 Utilization of previously recognized withholding tax on 2021 2020 2019 (in US$’000) (3,548) (2,343) (4,256) undistributed earnings 5,148 2,323 3,390 (Charged)/Credited to the consolidated statements of operations Withholding tax on undistributed earnings of PRC entities Deferred tax on amortization of intangible assets Deferred tax on temporary differences, tax loss carried forward and research tax credits Divestment of an equity investee Exchange differences As at December 31 (3,153) 19 7,852 370 (52) 6,636 (3,962) 18 663 — (247) (3,548) (1,894) 18 267 — 132 (2,343) HUTCHMED (China) Limited 2021 Annual Report 135 The deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off and when the deferred income taxes relate to the same fiscal authority. The cumulative tax losses can be carried forward against future taxable income and will expire in the following years: No expiry date 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 December 31, 2021 2020 (in US$’000) 60,450 200 — 4,099 39,321 52,452 67,217 117,376 191,554 265,696 432,278 1,230,643 53,940 195 — 3,998 38,357 51,034 66,555 114,490 186,844 259,163 — 774,576 The Company believes that it is more likely than not that future operations outside the U.S. will not generate sufficient taxable income to realize the benefit of the deferred tax assets. Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have had sustained tax losses, which will expire within five years if not utilized in the case of PRC subsidiaries (ten years for HNTEs), and which will not be utilized in the case of Hong Kong subsidiaries as they do not generate taxable profits. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded against the relevant deferred tax assets arising from the tax losses. A U.S. subsidiary of the Company has approximately US$2.0 million and US$0.6 million U.S. Federal and New Jersey state research tax credits which will expire between 2039 and 2041 (Federal) and 2026 and 2028 (New Jersey) respectively, if not utilized. The table below summarizes changes in the deferred tax valuation allowance: As at January 1 Charged to consolidated statements of operations Utilization of previously unrecognized tax losses Write-off of tax losses Others Exchange differences As at December 31 2021 2020 2019 122,378 63,975 (186) — (9) 3,542 189,700 (in US$’000) 69,399 46,321 (114) — — 6,772 122,378 49,021 25,498 (285) (3,142) — (1,693) 69,399 As at December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Group did not have any material unrecognized uncertain tax positions. 136 (iii) Income tax payable As at January 1 Current tax Withholding tax upon dividend declaration from PRC entities (note (a)) Tax paid (note (b)) Reclassification from non-current withholding tax Reclassification to prepaid tax Divestment of an equity investee (Note 23) Exchange difference As at December 31 Notes: 2021 2020 2019 (in US$’000) 1,120 16,636 5,148 (5,014) — 25 (2,644) 275 15,546 1,828 1,548 2,323 (5,940) 812 485 — 64 1,120 555 1,665 2,581 (2,970) — — — (3) 1,828 (a) The amount for 2019 excludes a non-current withholding tax of US$0.8 million which is included under other non-current liabilities. (b) The amount for 2020 is net of the PRC Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) refund of US$0.4 million received by HSPL. The amount for 2019 excludes the PRC EIT of US$0.3 million prepaid by HSPL which is included under other receivables, prepayments and deposits. 26. Losses Per Share (i) Basic losses per share Basic losses per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of outstanding ordinary shares in issue during the year. Treasury shares held by the Trustee are excluded from the weighted average number of outstanding ordinary shares in issue for purposes of calculating basic losses per share. 2021 Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Weighted average number of outstanding ordinary shares in issue Net loss attributable to the Company (US$’000) Losses per share attributable to the Company (US$ per 792,684,524 697,931,437 665,683,145 (106,024) (194,648) (125,730) share) (0.25) (0.18) (0.16) (ii) Diluted losses per share Diluted losses per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of outstanding ordinary shares in issue and dilutive ordinary share equivalents outstanding during the year. Dilutive ordinary share equivalents include shares issuable upon the exercise or settlement of share options, LTIP awards and warrants issued by the Company using the treasury stock method. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the share options, LTIP awards and warrants issued by the Company were not included in the calculation of diluted losses per share because of their anti- dilutive effect. Therefore, diluted losses per share were equal to basic losses per share for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. HUTCHMED (China) Limited 2021 Annual Report 137 27. Segment Reporting The Group’s operating segments are as follows: (i) Oncology/Immunology: focuses on discovering, developing, and commercializing targeted therapies and immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer and immunological diseases. Oncology/Immunology is further segregated into two core business areas: (a) R&D: comprises research and development activities covering drug discovery, development, manufacturing and regulatory functions as well as administrative activities to support research and development operations; and (b) Marketed Products: comprises the sales, marketing, manufacture and distribution of drug developed from research and development activities.

Litigation From time to time, the Group may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising from the ordinary course of business. The Group believes that there are currently no claims or actions pending against the Group, the ultimate disposition of which could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and the Group’s view of these matters may change in the future. When an unfavorable outcome occurs, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the Group’s financial position and results of operations for the periods in which the unfavorable outcome occurs, and potentially in future periods. On May 17, 2019, Luye Pharma Hong Kong Ltd. (“Luye”) issued a notice to the Group purporting to terminate a distribution agreement that granted the Group exclusive commercial rights to Seroquel in the PRC for failure to meet a pre-specified target. The Group disagrees with this assertion and believes that Luye have no basis for termination. As a result, the Group commenced legal proceedings in 2019 in order to seek damages. On October 21, 2021 (and further updated in December 2021), the Group was awarded an amount of RMB253.2 million (equivalent to US$39.6 million) with interest of 5.5% per annum from the date of the award until payment and recovery of costs of US$2.2 million (“Award”). Luye is still pursuing further legal proceedings and no Award amounts have been received as at the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements. Hence no Award amounts have been recognized and no adjustment has been made to Seroquel-related balances as at December 31, 2021. Such Seroquel-related balances include accounts receivable, long-term prepayment, accounts payable and other payables of US$1.2 million, US$0.7 million, US$1.0 million and US$1.3 million respectively. 30. Restricted Net Assets Relevant PRC laws and regulations permit payments of dividends by the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC only out of their retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC are required to make certain appropriations of net after-tax profits or increases in net assets to the statutory surplus fund prior to payment of any dividends. In addition, registered share capital and capital reserve accounts are restricted from withdrawal in the PRC, up to the amount of net assets held in each subsidiary. As a result of these and other restrictions under PRC laws and regulations, the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC are restricted in their ability to transfer their net assets to the Group in terms of cash dividends, loans or advances, with restricted portions amounting to US$0.1 million and US$0.2 million as at December 31, 2021 and 2020 respectively, which excludes the Company’s subsidiaries with a shareholders’ deficit. Even though the Group currently does not require any such dividends, loans or advances from the PRC subsidiaries, for working capital and other funding purposes, the Group may in the future require additional cash resources from the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC due to changes in business conditions, to fund future acquisitions and development, or merely to declare and pay dividends to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, the Group has certain investments in equity investees in the PRC, where the Group’s equity in undistributed earnings amounted to US$54.4 million and US$99.9 million as at December 31, 2021 and 2020 respectively. 142 31.

Limited 2021 Annual Report 149 Notes: (a) Lease amortization Under U.S. GAAP, for operating leases, the amortization of right-of-use assets and the interest expense element of lease liabilities are recorded together as lease expenses, which results in a straight-line recognition effect in the consolidated statements of operations. Under IFRS, all leases are accounted for like finance leases where right-of-use assets are generally depreciated on a straight-line basis while lease liabilities are measured under the effective interest method, which results in higher expenses at the beginning of the lease term and lower expenses near the end of the lease term. (b) Issuance costs Under U.S. GAAP and IFRS, there are differences in the criteria for capitalization of issuance costs incurred in the offering of equity securities. (c) Capitalization of development and commercial rights Under U.S. GAAP, the acquired development and commercial rights do not meet the capitalization criteria as further development is needed as of the acquisition date and there is no alternative future use. Such rights are considered as in-process research and development and were expensed to research and development expense. Under IFRS, the acquired development and commercial rights were capitalized to intangible assets. The recognition criterion is always assumed to be met as the price already reflects the probability that future economic benefits will flow to the Group. (d) Divestment of HBYS Under U.S. GAAP, an equity method investment to be divested that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting would not qualify for held-for-sale classification. The investment in HBYS was not presented as a discontinued operation or as an asset classified as held-for-sale after the signing of the SPA in March 2021 and therefore, it was accounted for under the equity method until closing on September 28, 2021. Under IFRS, an equity method investment may be classified as held-for-sale even if the discontinued operations criteria are not met. The investment in HBYS was not presented as a discontinued operation but was classified as held-for-sale and therefore equity method accounting was discontinued in March 2021 on the initial classification as held-for-sale. Accordingly, the reconciliation includes a classification difference in the consolidated statement of operations between gain on divestment of an equity investee, equity earnings of equity investees, net of tax and income tax expense. (e) LTIP classification Under U.S. GAAP, LTIP awards with performance conditions are classified as liability-settled awards prior to the determination date as they settle in a variable number of shares based on a determinable monetary amount, which is determined upon the actual achievement of performance targets. After the determination date, the LTIP awards are reclassified as equity-settled awards. Under IFRS, LTIP awards are classified as equity-settled awards, both prior to and after the determination date, as they are ultimately settled in ordinary shares or the equivalent ADS of the Company instead of cash. 150 UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Washington, D.C. 20549 FORM 20-F (Mark one) ☐ REGISTRATION STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 12(b) OR (g) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 ☒ ANNUAL REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 OR OR ☐  TRANSITION REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 For the transition period from to OR ☐ SHELL COMPANY REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 Date of event requiring this shell company report Commission file number 001-37710 HUTCHMED (CHINA) LIMITED (Exact name of Registrant as specified in its charter) N/A (Translation of Registrant’s name into English) Cayman Islands (Jurisdiction of incorporation or organization) 48th Floor, Cheung Kong Center 2 Queen’s Road Central Hong Kong +852 2121 8200 (Address of principal executive offices) Christian Lawrence Hogg Chief Executive Officer Level 18, The Metropolis Tower 10 Metropolis Drive Hunghom, Kowloon Hong Kong Telephone: +852 2121 8200 Facsimile: +852 2121 8281 (Name, telephone, email and/or facsimile number and address of Company contact person) Securities registered or to be registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Act: Title of each class American depositary shares, each representing five ordinary shares, par value $0.10 per share Ordinary shares, par value $0.10 per share* Ordinary shares, par value $0.10 per share Ordinary shares, par value $0.10 per share *Not for trading, but only in connection with the listing of American depositary shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market Securities registered or to be registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Act: Securities for which there is a reporting obligation pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Act: None (Title of Class) None (Title of Class) Trading Symbol(s) HCM 0013 HCM Name of each exchange on which registered Nasdaq Global Select Market Nasdaq Global Select Market* The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited The AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange Indicate the number of outstanding shares of each of the issuer’s classes of capital or common stock as of the close of the period covered by the Annual Report: 864,530,850 ordinary shares were issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2021.

Capitalization and Indebtedness. Not applicable. C. Reasons for the Offer and Use of Proceeds. Not applicable. D. Risk Factors. HUTCHMED (China) Limited is a Cayman Islands holding company which conducts its operations in China through its PRC subsidiaries (our corporate group does not include any variable interest entities). We face various legal and operational risks and uncertainties as a company with substantial operations in China. The PRC government has significant authority to exert influence on the ability of a company with substantial operations in China, like us, to conduct its business, accept foreign investments or be listed on a U.S. stock exchange. For example, we face risks associated with regulatory approvals of offshore offerings, anti-monopoly regulatory actions, cybersecurity and data privacy, as well as the lack of inspection from the U.S. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, on our auditors. The PRC government may also intervene with or influence our operations as the government deems appropriate to further regulatory, political and societal goals. The PRC government publishes from time to time new policies that can significantly affect our industry in which we operate and we cannot rule out the possibility that it will in the future further release regulations or policies regarding our industry that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Any such action, once taken by the PRC government, could cause the value of our ADSs and ordinary shares to significantly decline or in extreme cases, become worthless. You should carefully consider all of the information in this annual report before making an investment in the ADSs. Below please find a summary of the principal risks and uncertainties we face, organized under relevant headings. In particular, as we are a China- based company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, you should pay special attention to subsections headed “Item 3. Key Information- 3.D. Risk Factors-Other Risks and Risks Related to Doing Business in China.” The following summarizes some, but not all, of the risks provided below.

We will incur significant expenses as we continue research and development and initiate additional clinical trials of, and seek regulatory approval for, these and other future drug candidates. In addition, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur and seek regulatory approval for, these and other future drug candidates. In addition, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution in China and the United States significant commercialization expenses related to product manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution in China and the United for Sulanda (surufatinib), our unpartnered drug product approved in China in December 2020, and any of our other unpartnered drug States for Sulanda (surufatinib), our unpartnered drug product approved in China in December 2020, and any of our other unpartnered candidates that may be approved in the future. In particular, the costs that may be required for the manufacture of any drug candidate drug candidates that may be approved in the future. In particular, the costs that may be required for the manufacture of any drug candidate that receives regulatory approval may be substantial as we may have to modify or increase the production capacity at our current that receives regulatory approval may be substantial as we may have to modify or increase the production capacity at our current manufacturing facilities or contract with third-party manufacturers. We may also incur expenses as we create additional infrastructure, manufacturing facilities or contract with third-party manufacturers. We may also incur expenses as we create additional infrastructure, such as our new manufacturing facility under construction in Shanghai, and expand our U.S.-based clinical and commercial team to such as our new manufacturing facility under construction in Shanghai, and expand our U.S.-based clinical and commercial team to support our operations at our U.S. subsidiaries, HUTCHMED International Corporation (formerly Hutchison MediPharma International support our operations at our U.S. subsidiaries, HUTCHMED International Corporation (formerly Hutchison MediPharma International Inc. and Hutchison MediPharma (US) Inc.) and HUTCHMED US Corporation. Accordingly, we may need to obtain substantial funding Inc. and Hutchison MediPharma (US), Inc.) and HUTCHMED US Corporation. Accordingly, we may need to obtain substantial funding in connection with our continuing operations through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations or licensing in connection with our continuing operations through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations or licensing arrangements or other sources. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we could incur losses and be forced arrangements or other sources. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we could incur losses and be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our research and development programs or any future commercialization efforts. to delay, reduce or eliminate our research and development programs or any future commercialization efforts. Our net cash used in operating activities was $80.9 million, $62.1 million and $204.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. We believe, however, that our expected cash flow from operations, including dividends from our Other Ventures and milestone and other payments from our collaboration partners, our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments as well as our unutilized bank facilities as of December 31, 2021, will enable us to fund our operating expenses, debt service and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:          the number and development requirements of the drug candidates we pursue; the scope, progress, timing, results and costs of researching and developing our drug candidates, and conducting pre-clinical and clinical trials; the cost, timing and outcome of regulatory review of our drug candidates; the cost and timing of commercialization activities, including product manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution, for our drug candidates for which we have received regulatory approval; the amount and timing of any milestone or royalty payments, service payments and reimbursement of manufacturing costs from our collaboration partners, with whom we cooperate with respect to the development and potential commercialization of certain of our drug candidates; the cash received from commercial sales of drug candidates for which we have received regulatory approval; our ability to establish and maintain strategic partnerships, collaboration, licensing or other arrangements and the financial terms of such agreements; the cost, timing and outcome of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights and defending any intellectual property-related claims; our headcount growth and associated costs, particularly as we expand our clinical and commercialization activities in the United States and Europe; and 10  the costs of operating as a public company listed in Hong Kong, the United States and United Kingdom. Identifying potential drug candidates and conducting pre-clinical testing and clinical trials is a time-consuming, expensive and uncertain process that may take years to complete, and our commercial revenue will be derived from sales of products that will not be commercially available unless and until we receive regulatory approval. We may never generate the necessary data or results required for certain drug candidates to obtain regulatory approval, and even if approved, they may not achieve commercial success. Accordingly, we will need to continue to rely on financing to achieve our business objectives. Adequate financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Raising capital may cause dilution to our shareholders, restrict our operations or require us to relinquish rights to technologies or drug candidates. We expect to finance our cash needs in part through cash flow from our operations, including dividends from our Other Ventures, and we may also rely on raising capital through a combination of public or private equity offerings, debt financings and/or license and development agreements with collaboration partners. In addition, we may seek capital due to favorable market conditions or strategic considerations, even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that we raise capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities (including potential further listings on other stock exchanges), the ownership interest of our shareholders may be materially diluted, and the terms of such securities could include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our existing shareholders. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include restrictive covenants that limit our ability to take specified actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. Additional debt financing would also result in increased fixed payment obligations. In addition, if we raise funds through collaborations, strategic partnerships or marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or drug candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. We may also lose control of the development of drug candidates, such as the pace and scope of clinical trials, as a result of such third-party arrangements. If we are unable to raise funds through equity or debt financings when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market drug candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves. Our existing and any future indebtedness could adversely affect our ability to operate our business. Our outstanding indebtedness combined with current and future financial obligations and contractual commitments, including any additional indebtedness beyond our current facilities with HSBC, Deutsche Bank AG and Bank of China could have significant adverse consequences, including:      requiring us to dedicate a portion of our cash resources to the payment of interest and principal, and prepayment and repayment fees and penalties, thereby reducing money available to fund working capital, capital expenditures, product development and other general corporate purposes; increasing our vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and market conditions; subjecting us to restrictive covenants that may reduce our ability to take certain corporate actions or obtain further debt or equity financing; limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we compete; and placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt or better debt servicing options. We intend to satisfy our current and future debt service obligations with our existing cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. Nevertheless, we may not have sufficient funds, and may be unable to arrange for financing, to pay the amounts due under our existing debt. Failure to make payments or comply with other covenants under our existing debt instruments could result in an event of default and acceleration of amounts due. 11 We have historically incurred significant net operating cash outflows, and may continue to experience net cash outflow from operating activities. Investment in biopharmaceutical drug development is highly speculative. It entails substantial upfront expenditures and significant risk that a drug candidate might fail to gain regulatory approval or become commercially viable. We continue to incur significant expenses related to our ongoing operations. For a detailed discussion of our net cash used in operating activities, see Item 5.B. “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects”, “Liquidity and Capital Resources.” We expect to incur significant expenses, particularly research and development expenses, for the foreseeable future as we expand our development of, and seek regulatory approvals for, our drug candidates. Typically, it takes many years to develop one new drug from the drug discovery stage to the time it is available for treating patients. Our ability to improve our cash flow depends on a number of variables, including the number and scope of our drug development programs and the associated costs of those programs, the cost of commercializing any approved products, our ability to generate revenues and the timing and amount of milestones and other payments we make or receive through arrangements with third parties. Our failure to generate positive cash flow from operations may adversely affect our ability to raise capital, maintain our research and development efforts, expand our business or continue our operations. There is no assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient net cash inflows from operating activities, which could have adverse effects on our long-term viability. We face risks with our short-term investments and in collecting our accounts receivables. Our short-term investments are bank deposits with maturities of more than three months but less than one year. Our short-term investments were $199.5 million and $634.2 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively, and are placed with major financial institutions. These investments may earn yields substantially lower than expected. Failure to realize the benefits we expected from these investments may materially and adversely affect our business and financial results. To date, we have experienced no loss or lack of access to our invested cash or cash equivalents; however, we can provide no assurance that access to our invested cash and cash equivalents will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial and credit markets. Our accounts receivable balance, net of allowance for credit losses, totaled $47.9 million and $83.6 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively. We have policies and procedures in place to ensure that sales are made to customers with an appropriate credit history. We perform periodic credit evaluations of our customers and monitor risk factors and forward-looking information, such as country risk, when determining credit limits for customers. However, there can be no assurance such policies and procedures will effectively limit our credit risk and enable us to avoid losses, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, amounts due to us are not covered by collateral or credit insurance. If we fail to collect all or part of such accounts receivable in a timely manner, or at all, our financial condition may be materially and adversely affected. Risks Relating to Our Oncology/Immunology Operations and Development of Our Drug Candidates Historically, our in-house research and development division, which is included in our Oncology/Immunology operations, has not generated significant profits or has operated at a net loss. Our future profitability is dependent on the successful commercialization of our drug candidates. To date, fruquintinib, surufatinib and savolitinib (marketed as Elunate, Sulanda and Orpathys, respectively) are our only drug candidates that have been approved for sale. We do not expect our Oncology/Immunology operations to be significantly profitable unless and until we generate substantial revenues from Elunate, Sulanda and Orpathys and can successfully commercialize our other drug products. We expect to incur significant sales and marketing costs as we prepare to commercialize our drug candidates. 12 Successful commercialization of our drug candidates is subject to many risks. Elunate is marketed in collaboration with our partner, Eli Lilly. Beginning in October 2020, we assumed responsibility for the development and execution of all on-the-ground medical detailing, promotion and local and regional marketing activities for Elunate in China. Sulanda is marketed by us without the support of a collaboration partner. Orpathys is marketed in collaboration with our partner, AstraZeneca. Elunate, Sulanda and Orpathys are the first innovative oncology drugs we, as an organization, have commercialized, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to successfully commercialize them or any of our other drug candidates for their approved indications. There are numerous examples of failures to meet expectations of market potential, including by pharmaceutical companies with more experience and resources than us. There are many factors that could cause the commercialization of Elunate, Sulanda, Orpathys or our other drug products to be unsuccessful, including a number of factors that are outside our control. In the case of Elunate, for example, the third-line metastatic colorectal cancer, or mCRC, patient population in China may be smaller than we estimate or physicians may be unwilling to prescribe, or patients may be unwilling to take, Elunate for a variety of reasons. Additionally, any negative development for fruquintinib, surufatinib or savolitinib in clinical development in additional indications, or in regulatory processes in other jurisdictions, may adversely impact the commercial results and potential of Elunate, Sulanda or Orpathys in China and globally. Thus, significant uncertainty remains regarding the commercial potential of Elunate, Sulanda and Orpathys. We may not achieve profitability after generating revenues from Elunate, Sulanda and/or Orpathys or our other drug candidates, if ever. If the commercialization of Elunate, Sulanda, Orpathys and/or our other drug candidates is unsuccessful or perceived as disappointing, our stock price could decline significantly and the long-term success of the product and our company could be harmed. All of our drug candidates, other than fruquintinib, surufatinib and savolitinib for approved indications in China, are still in development. If we are unable to obtain regulatory approval and ultimately commercialize our drug candidates, or if we experience significant delays in doing so, our business will be materially harmed. All of our drug candidates are still in development, including fruquintinib, surufatinib and savolitinib which have been approved in China for the treatment of third-line mCRC, non-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and advanced pancreatic NETs, and non- small cell lung cancer, or NSCLC, respectively, but are still in development in the United States and other jurisdictions for these and other indications. Although we receive certain payments from our collaboration partners, including upfront payments and payments for achieving certain development, regulatory or commercial milestones, for certain of our drug candidates, our ability to generate revenue from our drug candidates is dependent on their receipt of regulatory approval for and successful commercialization of such products, which may never occur. Each of our drug candidates in development will require additional pre-clinical and/or clinical trials, regulatory approval in multiple jurisdictions, manufacturing supply, substantial investment and significant marketing efforts before we generate any revenue from product sales. The success of our drug candidates will depend on several factors, including the following:         successful completion of pre-clinical and/or clinical trials; successful enrollment in, and completion of, clinical trials; receipt of regulatory approvals from applicable regulatory authorities for planned clinical trials, future clinical trials, drug registrations or post-approval trials; successful completion of all safety studies required to obtain regulatory approval and/or fulfillment of post-approval requirements in the United States, China and other jurisdictions for our drug candidates; adapting our commercial manufacturing capabilities to the specifications for our drug candidates for clinical supply and commercial manufacturing; obtaining and maintaining patent and trade secret protection or regulatory exclusivity for our drug candidates; launching commercial sales of our drug candidates, if and when approved, whether alone or in collaboration with others; acceptance of the drug candidates, if and when approved, by patients, the medical community and third-party payors; 13    effectively competing with other therapies; obtaining and maintaining healthcare coverage and adequate reimbursement; enforcing and defending intellectual property rights and claims; and  maintaining a continued acceptable safety profile of the drug candidates following approval. If we do not achieve one or more of these factors in a timely manner or at all, we could experience significant delays or an inability to successfully commercialize our drug candidates, which would materially harm our business. Our primary approach to the discovery and development of drug candidates focuses on the inhibition of kinases, some of which are unproven. A primary focus of our research and development efforts is on identifying kinase targets for which drug compounds previously developed by others affecting those targets have been unsuccessful due to limited selectivity, off-target toxicity and other problems. We then work to engineer drug candidates which have the potential to have superior efficacy, safety and other features as compared to such prior drug compounds. We also focus on developing drug compounds with the potential to be global best-in-class/next-generation therapies for validated kinase targets. Even if we are able to develop compounds that successfully target the relevant kinases in pre-clinical studies, we may not succeed in demonstrating safety and efficacy of the drug candidates in clinical trials. Even if we are able to demonstrate safety and efficacy of compounds in certain indications in certain jurisdictions, we may not succeed in demonstrating the same in other indications or same indications in other jurisdictions. As a result, our efforts may not result in the discovery or development of drugs that are commercially viable or are superior to existing drugs or other therapies on the market. While the results of pre-clinical studies, early-stage clinical trials as well as clinical trials in certain indications have suggested that certain of our drug candidates may successfully inhibit kinases and may have significant utility in several cancer indications, potentially in combination with other cancer drugs, chemotherapy and immunotherapies, we have not yet demonstrated efficacy and safety for many of our drug candidates in later stage clinical trials. We may expend our limited resources to pursue a particular drug candidate or indication and fail to capitalize on drug candidates or indications that may be more profitable or for which there is a greater likelihood of success. Because we have limited financial and managerial resources, we must limit our research programs to specific drug candidates that we identify for specific indications. As a result, we may forego or delay pursuit of opportunities with other drug candidates or for other indications that later prove to have greater commercial potential. Our resource allocation decisions may cause us to fail to capitalize on viable commercial drugs or profitable market opportunities. In addition, if we do not accurately evaluate the commercial potential or target market for a particular drug candidate, we may relinquish valuable rights to that drug candidate through collaboration, licensing or other royalty arrangements when it would have been more advantageous for us to retain sole development and commercialization rights to such drug candidate. The regulatory approval processes of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, National Medical Products Administration of China, or NMPA, and comparable authorities are lengthy, time consuming and inherently unpredictable, and if we are ultimately unable to obtain regulatory approval for our drug candidates, our ability to generate revenue will be materially impaired. Our drug candidates and the activities associated with their development and commercialization, including their design, testing, manufacture, safety, efficacy, recordkeeping, labeling, storage, approval, advertising, promotion, sale, distribution, import and export, are subject to comprehensive regulation by the FDA, NMPA and other regulatory agencies in the United States and China and by comparable regulatory authorities in other countries. Securing regulatory approval requires the submission of extensive pre-clinical and clinical data and supporting information to the various regulatory authorities for each therapeutic indication to establish the drug candidate’s safety and efficacy. Securing regulatory approval also requires the submission of information about the drug manufacturing process to, and inspection of manufacturing facilities by, the relevant regulatory authority. Our drug candidates may not be effective, may be only moderately effective or may prove to have undesirable or unintended side effects, toxicities or other characteristics that may preclude our obtaining regulatory approval or prevent or limit commercial use. 14 The process of obtaining regulatory approvals in the United States, China and other countries is expensive, may take many years if additional clinical trials are required, if approval is obtained at all, and can vary substantially based upon a variety of factors, including the type, complexity and novelty of the drug candidates involved. Changes in regulatory approval policies during the development period, changes in or the enactment of additional statutes or regulations, or changes in regulatory review for each submitted New Drug Application, or NDA, pre-market approval or equivalent application types, may cause delays in the approval or rejection of an application. The FDA, NMPA and comparable regulatory authorities in other countries have substantial discretion in the approval process and may refuse to accept any application or may decide that our data are insufficient for approval and require additional pre-clinical, clinical or other studies. Our drug candidates could be delayed in receiving, or fail to receive, regulatory approval for many reasons, including the following:  the FDA, NMPA or comparable regulatory authorities may disagree with the number, design, size, conduct or implementation of our clinical trials;  we may be unable to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the FDA, NMPA or comparable regulatory authorities that a drug candidate is safe and effective for its proposed indication;  the results of clinical trials may not meet the level of statistical significance required by the FDA, NMPA or comparable regulatory authorities for approval;  we may be unable to demonstrate that a drug candidate’s clinical and other benefits outweigh its safety risks;        the FDA, NMPA or comparable regulatory authorities may disagree with our interpretation of data from pre-clinical studies or clinical trials; the data collected from clinical trials of our drug candidates may not be sufficient to support the submission of an NDA or other submission or to obtain regulatory approval in the United States or elsewhere; the FDA, NMPA or comparable regulatory authorities may fail to approve the manufacturing processes for our clinical and commercial supplies; the approval policies or regulations of the FDA, NMPA or comparable regulatory authorities may significantly change in a manner rendering our clinical data insufficient for approval; the FDA, NMPA or comparable regulatory authority may prioritize treatments for emerging health crises, such as COVID-19, resulting in delays for our drug candidates; the FDA, NMPA or comparable regulatory authorities may restrict the use of our products to a narrow population; and our collaboration partners or CROs that are retained to conduct the clinical trials of our drug candidates may take actions that materially and adversely impact the clinical trials. In addition, even if we were to obtain approval, regulatory authorities may approve any of our drug candidates for fewer or more limited indications than we request, may not approve the price we intend to charge for our drugs, may grant approval contingent on the performance of costly post-marketing clinical trials, or may approve a drug candidate with a label that does not include the labeling claims necessary or desirable for the successful commercialization of that drug candidate. Any of the foregoing scenarios could materially harm the commercial prospects for our drug candidates. Furthermore, even though the NMPA has granted approval for fruquintinib and surufatinib for use in third-line mCRC and NET patients, respectively, and approval for savolitinib for lung cancer with Met exon 14 skipping alterations, we are still subject to substantial, ongoing regulatory requirements. See “—Even if we receive regulatory approval for our drug candidates, we are subject to ongoing obligations and continued regulatory review, which may result in significant additional expense.” 15 If the FDA, NMPA or another regulatory agency revokes its approval of, or if safety, efficacy, manufacturing or supply issues arise with, any therapeutic that we use in combination with our drug candidates, we may be unable to market such drug candidate or may experience significant regulatory delays or supply shortages, and our business could be materially harmed. We are currently developing combination therapies using our savolitinib, fruquintinib, surufatinib and other drug candidates with various immunotherapies, targeted therapies and/or other therapies. For example, we are currently developing savolitinib in combination with immunotherapy (Imfinzi) and targeted therapy (Tagrisso). However, we did not develop and we do not manufacture or sell Imfinzi, Tagrisso or any other therapeutic we use in combination with our drug candidates. We may also seek to develop our drug candidates in combination with other therapeutics in the future. If the FDA, NMPA or another regulatory agency revokes its approval, or does not grant approval, of any of these and other therapeutics we use in combination with our drug candidates, we will not be able to market our drug candidates in combination with such therapeutics. If safety or efficacy issues arise with these or other therapeutics that we seek to combine with our drug candidates in the future, we may experience significant regulatory delays, and we may be required to redesign or terminate the applicable clinical trials. In addition, if manufacturing or other issues result in a supply shortage of these or any other combination therapeutics, we may not be able to complete clinical development of savolitinib, fruquintinib, surufatinib and/or any other of our drug candidates on our current timeline or at all. Even if one or more of our drug candidates were to receive regulatory approval for use in combination with a therapeutic, we would continue to be subject to the risk that the FDA, NMPA or another regulatory agency could revoke its approval of the combination therapeutic, or that safety, efficacy, manufacturing or supply issues could arise with one of these combination therapeutics. This could result in Orpathys, Elunate, Sulanda or one of our other products being removed from the market or being less successful commercially. We face substantial competition, which may result in others discovering, developing or commercializing drugs before or more successfully than we do. The development and commercialization of new drugs is highly competitive. We face competition with respect to our current drug candidates, and will face competition with respect to any drug candidates that we may seek to develop or commercialize in the future, from major pharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies worldwide. There are a number of large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that currently market drugs or are pursuing the development of therapies in the field of kinase inhibition for cancer and other diseases. Some of these competitive drugs and therapies are based on scientific approaches that are the same as or similar to our approach, and others are based on entirely different approaches. Potential competitors also include academic institutions, government agencies and other public and private research organizations that conduct research, seek patent protection and establish collaborative arrangements for research, development, manufacturing and commercialization. Specifically, there are a large number of companies developing or marketing treatments for cancer and immunological diseases, including many major pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. Many of the companies against which we are competing or against which we may compete in the future have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in research and development, manufacturing, pre-clinical testing, conducting clinical trials, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing approved drugs than we do. Mergers and acquisitions in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and diagnostic industries may result in even more resources being concentrated among a smaller number of our competitors. Smaller or early-stage companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularly through collaborative arrangements with large and established companies. These competitors also compete with us in recruiting and retaining qualified scientific and management personnel and establishing clinical trial sites and patient registration for clinical trials, as well as in acquiring technologies complementary to, or necessary for, our programs. 16 Our commercial opportunity could be reduced or eliminated if our competitors develop and commercialize drugs that are safer, more effective, have fewer or less severe side effects, are more convenient or are less expensive than any drugs that we or our collaborators may develop. Our competitors also may obtain FDA, NMPA or other regulatory approval for their drugs more rapidly than we may obtain approval for ours, which could result in our competitors establishing a strong market position before we or our collaborators are able to enter the market. The key competitive factors affecting the success of all of our drug candidates, if approved, are likely to be their efficacy, safety, convenience, price, the level of generic competition and the availability of reimbursement from government and other third-party payors. Clinical development involves a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome. There is a risk of failure for each of our drug candidates. It is difficult to predict when or if any of our drug candidates will prove effective and safe in humans or will receive regulatory approval. Before obtaining regulatory approval from regulatory authorities for the sale of any drug candidate, we or our collaboration partners must complete pre-clinical studies and then conduct extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our drug candidates in humans. Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design and implement and can take many years to complete. The outcomes of pre-clinical development testing and early clinical trials may not be predictive of the success of later clinical trials, and interim results of a clinical trial do not necessarily predict final results. Moreover, pre-clinical and clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations and analyses, and many companies that have believed their drug candidates performed satisfactorily in pre-clinical studies and clinical trials have nonetheless failed to obtain regulatory approval of their drug candidates. Our current or future clinical trials may not be successful. Commencing each of our clinical trials is subject to finalizing the trial design based on ongoing discussions with the FDA, NMPA or other regulatory authorities. The FDA, NMPA and other regulatory authorities could change their position on the acceptability of our trial designs or clinical endpoints, which could require us to complete additional clinical trials or impose approval conditions that we do not currently expect. Successful completion of our clinical trials is a prerequisite to submitting an NDA or analogous filing to the FDA, NMPA or other regulatory authorities for each drug candidate and, consequently, the ultimate approval and commercial marketing of our drug candidates. We do not know whether any of our clinical trials will begin or be completed on schedule, if at all. We and our collaboration partners may incur additional costs or experience delays in completing our pre-clinical or clinical trials, or ultimately be unable to complete the development and commercialization of our drug candidates. We and our collaboration partners, including AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly, BeiGene Ltd., or BeiGene, Inmagene Biopharmaceuticals Co. Ltd., or Inmagene, Innovent Biologics (Suzhou) Co., Inc., or Innovent, Genor Biopharma Co. Ltd., or Genor, Shanghai Junshi Biosciences Co. Ltd., or Junshi and Epizyme, Inc., or Epizyme, may experience delays in completing our pre-clinical or clinical trials, and numerous unforeseen events could arise during, or as a result of, future clinical trials, which could delay or prevent us from receiving regulatory approval, including:  regulators, institutional review boards, or IRBs, ethics committees or the China Human Genetic Resources Administration Office may not authorize us or our investigators to commence or conduct a clinical trial at a prospective trial site;  we may experience delays in reaching, or we may fail to reach, agreement on acceptable terms with prospective trial sites and prospective CROs, who conduct clinical trials on behalf of us and our collaboration partners, the terms of which can be subject to extensive negotiation and may vary significantly among different CROs and trial sites;    clinical trials may produce negative or inconclusive results, and we or our collaboration partners may decide, or regulators may require us or them, to conduct additional clinical trials or we may decide to abandon drug development programs; the number of patients required for clinical trials of our drug candidates may be larger than we anticipate, enrollment in these clinical trials may be slower than we anticipate or participants may drop out of these clinical trials or fail to return for post-treatment follow-up at a higher rate than we anticipate; third-party contractors used in our clinical trials may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations in a timely manner, or at all, or may deviate from the clinical trial protocol or drop out of the trial, which may require that we or our collaboration partners add new clinical trial sites or investigators; 17  we or our collaboration partners may elect to, or regulators, IRBs or ethics committees may require that we or our investigators, suspend or terminate clinical research for various reasons, including non-compliance with regulatory requirements or a finding that the participants are being exposed to unacceptable health risks;    the cost of clinical trials of our drug candidates may be greater than we anticipate; the supply or quality of our drug candidates, companion diagnostics, if any, or other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of our drug candidates may be insufficient or inadequate; and our drug candidates may have undesirable side effects or unexpected characteristics, causing us or our investigators, regulators, IRBs or ethics committees to suspend or terminate the trials, or reports may arise from pre-clinical or clinical testing of other cancer therapies that raise safety or efficacy concerns about our drug candidates. We could encounter regulatory delays if a clinical trial is suspended or terminated by us or our collaboration partners, by, as applicable, the IRBs of the institutions in which such trials are being conducted, by the Data Safety Monitoring Board, which is an independent group of experts that is formed to monitor clinical trials while ongoing, or by the FDA, NMPA or other regulatory authorities. Such authorities may impose a suspension or termination due to a number of factors, including: a failure to conduct the clinical trial in accordance with regulatory requirements or the applicable clinical protocols, inspection of the clinical trial operations or trial site by the FDA, NMPA or other regulatory authorities that results in the imposition of a clinical hold, unforeseen safety issues or adverse side effects, failure to demonstrate a benefit from using a drug, changes in governmental regulations or administrative actions or lack of adequate funding to continue the clinical trial. Many of the factors that cause a delay in the commencement or completion of clinical trials may also ultimately lead to the denial of regulatory approval of our drug candidates. Further, the FDA, NMPA or other regulatory authorities may disagree with our clinical trial design and our interpretation of data from clinical trials, or may change the requirements for approval even after it has reviewed and commented on the design for our clinical trials. If we or our collaboration partners are required to conduct additional clinical trials or other testing of our drug candidates beyond those that are currently contemplated, if we or our collaboration partners are unable to successfully complete clinical trials of our drug candidates or other testing, if the results of these trials or tests are not positive or are only modestly positive or if there are safety concerns, we may:      be delayed in obtaining regulatory approval for our drug candidates; not obtain regulatory approval at all; obtain approval for indications or patient populations that are not as broad as intended or desired; be subject to post-marketing testing requirements; or have the drug removed from the market after obtaining regulatory approval. Our drug development costs will also increase if we experience delays in testing or regulatory approvals. We do not know whether any of our clinical trials will begin as planned, will need to be restructured or will be completed on schedule, or at all. Significant pre-clinical study or clinical trial delays also could allow our competitors to bring products to market before we do and impair our ability to successfully commercialize our drug candidates and may harm our business and results of operations. Any delays in our clinical development programs may harm our business, financial condition and prospects significantly. 18 If we or our collaboration partners experience delays or difficulties in the enrollment of patients in clinical trials, the progress of such clinical trials and our receipt of necessary regulatory approvals could be delayed or prevented. We or our collaboration partners may not be able to initiate or continue clinical trials for our drug candidates if we or our collaboration partners are unable to locate and enroll a sufficient number of eligible patients to participate in these trials as required by the FDA, NMPA or similar regulatory authorities. In particular, we and our collaboration partners have designed many of our clinical trials, and expect to design future trials, to include some patients with the applicable genomic alteration that causes the disease with a view to assessing possible early evidence of potential therapeutic effect. Genomically defined diseases, however, may have relatively low prevalence, and it may be difficult to identify patients with the applicable genomic alteration. In addition, for many of our trials, we focus on enrolling patients who have failed their first or second-line treatments, which limits the total size of the patient population available for such trials. The inability to enroll a sufficient number of patients with the applicable genomic alteration or that meet other applicable criteria for our clinical trials would result in significant delays and could require us or our collaboration partners to abandon one or more clinical trials altogether. In addition, some of our competitors have ongoing clinical trials for drug candidates that treat the same indications as our drug candidates, and patients who would otherwise be eligible for our clinical trials may instead enroll in clinical trials of our competitors’ drug candidates. Patient enrollment may be affected by other factors including:            the severity of the disease under investigation; the total size and nature of the relevant patient population; the design and eligibility criteria for the clinical trial in question; the availability of an appropriate genomic screening test/companion diagnostic; the perceived risks and benefits of the drug candidate under study; the efforts to facilitate timely enrollment in clinical trials; the patient referral practices of physicians; the availability of competing therapies which are undergoing clinical trials; the ability to monitor patients adequately during and after treatment; the proximity and availability of clinical trial sites for prospective patients ; and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including but not limited to the duration and scope of related government orders and restrictions. Enrollment delays in our clinical trials may result in increased development costs for our drug candidates, which could cause the value of our company to decline and limit our ability to obtain financing. 19 Our drug candidates may cause undesirable side effects that could delay or prevent their regulatory approval, limit the commercial profile of an approved label, or result in significant negative consequences following regulatory approval, if any. Undesirable side effects caused by our drug candidates could cause us or our collaboration partners to interrupt, delay or halt clinical trials or could cause regulatory authorities to interrupt, delay or halt our clinical trials and could result in a more restrictive label or the delay or denial of regulatory approval by the FDA, NMPA or other regulatory authorities. In particular, as is the case with all oncology drugs, it is likely that there may be side effects, for example, hand-foot syndrome, associated with the use of certain of our drug candidates. Results of our trials could reveal a high and unacceptable severity and prevalence of these or other side effects. In such an event, our trials could be suspended or terminated and the FDA, NMPA or comparable regulatory authorities could order us to cease further development of or deny approval of our drug candidates for some or all targeted indications. The drug-related side effects could affect patient recruitment or the ability of enrolled patients to complete the trial or result in potential product liability claims. Any of these occurrences may harm our business, financial condition and prospects significantly. Further, our drug candidates could cause undesirable side effects related to off-target toxicity. Many of the currently approved tyrosine kinase inhibitors or TKIs have been associated with off-target toxicities because they affect multiple kinases. While we believe that the kinase selectivity of our drug candidates has the potential to significantly improve the unfavorable adverse off-target toxicity issues, if patients were to experience off-target toxicity, we may not be able to achieve an effective dosage level, receive approval to market, or achieve the commercial success we anticipate with respect to any of our drug candidates, which could prevent us from ever generating revenue or achieving profitability. Many compounds that initially showed promise in early-stage testing for treating cancer have later been found to cause side effects that prevented further development of the compound. Clinical trials assess a sample of the potential patient population. With a limited number of patients and duration of exposure, rare and severe side effects of our drug candidates may only be uncovered with a significantly larger number of patients exposed to the drug candidate. If our drug candidates receive regulatory approval and we or others identify undesirable side effects caused by such drug candidates (or any other similar drugs) after such approval, a number of potentially significant negative consequences could result, including:   regulatory authorities may withdraw or limit their approval of such drug candidates; regulatory authorities may require the addition of labeling statements, such as a “boxed” warning or a contra-indication;  we may be required to create a medication guide outlining the risks of such side effects for distribution to patients;  we may be required to change the way such drug candidates are distributed or administered, conduct additional clinical trials or change the labeling of the drug candidates;  regulatory authorities may require a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy, or REMS, plan to mitigate risks, which could include medication guides, physician communication plans, or elements to assure safe use, such as restricted distribution methods, patient registries and other risk minimization tools;  we may be subject to regulatory investigations and government enforcement actions;  we may decide to remove such drug candidates from the marketplace;  we could be sued and held liable for injury caused to individuals exposed to or taking our drug candidates; and  our reputation may suffer. Any of these events could prevent us from achieving or maintaining market acceptance of the affected drug candidates and could substantially increase the costs of commercializing our drug candidates, if approved, and significantly impact our ability to successfully commercialize our drug candidates and generate revenue. 20 We and our collaboration partners have conducted and intend to conduct additional clinical trials for certain of our drug candidates at sites outside the United States, and the FDA may not accept data from trials conducted in such locations or may require additional U.S.-based trials. We and our collaboration partners have conducted, currently are conducting and intend in the future to conduct, clinical trials outside the United States, particularly in China where our Oncology/Immunology operations are headquartered as well as in other jurisdictions such as Australia, Japan, South Korea, the U.K, and various European countries. Although the FDA may accept data from clinical trials conducted outside the United States, acceptance of these data is subject to certain conditions imposed by the FDA. For example, the clinical trial must be well designed and conducted by qualified investigators in accordance with current good clinical practices, or GCPs, including review and approval by an independent ethics committee and receipt of informed consent from trial patients. The trial population must also adequately represent the U.S. population, and the data must be applicable to the U.S. population and U.S. medical practice in ways that the FDA deems clinically meaningful. Generally, the patient population for any clinical trial conducted outside of the United States must be representative of the population for which we intend to seek approval in the United States. In addition, while these clinical trials are subject to applicable local laws, FDA acceptance of the data will be dependent upon its determination that the trials also comply with all applicable U.S. laws and regulations. There can be no assurance that the FDA will accept data from trials conducted outside of the United States. If the FDA does not accept the data from our clinical trials conducted outside the United States, it would likely result in the need for additional clinical trials, which would be costly and time-consuming and delay or permanently halt our ability to develop and market these or other drug candidates in the United States. In addition, there are risks inherent in conducting clinical trials in jurisdictions outside the United States including:   regulatory and administrative requirements of the jurisdiction where the trial is conducted that could burden or limit our ability to conduct our clinical trials; foreign exchange fluctuations;  manufacturing, customs, shipment and storage requirements;   cultural differences in medical practice and clinical research; and the risk that patient populations in such trials are not considered representative as compared to patient populations in the United States and other markets. If we are unable to obtain and/or maintain priority review by the NMPA, fast track designation by the FDA, or another expedited registration pathway for our drug candidates, the time and cost we incur to obtain regulatory approvals may increase. Even if we receive such approvals, they may not lead to a faster development, review or approval process. Under the Opinions on Priority Review and Approval for Encouraging Drug Innovation, the NMPA may grant priority review approval to (i) certain drugs with distinctive clinical value, including innovative drugs not sold within or outside China, (ii) new drugs with clinical treatment advantages for AIDS and other rare diseases, and (iii) drugs which have been concurrently filed with the competent drug approval authorities in the United States or E.U. for marketing authorization and passed such authorities’ onsite inspections and are manufactured using the same production line in China. Priority review provides a fast track process for drug registration. We have received priority review status for a number of our drug candidates, including for example fruquintinib for the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer, or CRC, savolitinib for the treatment of NSCLC and surufatinib for the treatment of advanced NET. We anticipate that we may seek priority review for certain of our other drug candidates in the future. 21 In the United States, if a drug is intended for the treatment of a serious or life-threatening condition and the drug demonstrates the potential to address unmet medical needs for this condition, we may apply for fast track designation by the FDA. The FDA has broad discretion whether or not to grant this designation, so even if we believe a particular drug candidate is eligible for this designation, we cannot be sure that the FDA would decide to grant it. We have sought and will likely continue to seek fast track designation for some of our drug candidates. For example, in April 2020, the FDA granted fast track designation to surufatinib for both the non-pancreatic and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor development programs. Even if we receive fast track designation for a drug candidate, we may not experience a faster development process, review or approval compared to conventional FDA procedures. The FDA may withdraw fast track designation if it believes that the designation is no longer supported by data from our clinical development program. A failure to obtain and/or maintain priority review, fast track designation or any other form of expedited development, review or approval for our drug candidates would result in a longer time period to commercialization of such drug candidate, could increase the cost of development of such drug candidate and could harm our competitive position in the marketplace. In addition, even if we obtain priority review, there is no guarantee that we will experience a faster review or approval compared to non-accelerated registration pathways or that a drug candidate will ultimately be approved for sale. Although we have obtained orphan drug designation for surufatinib for the treatment of pancreatic NETs in the United States, we may not be able to obtain or maintain the benefits associated with orphan drug status, including market exclusivity. Under the Orphan Drug Act, the FDA may designate a drug as an orphan drug if it is intended to treat a rare disease or condition, which is generally defined as affecting fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States. We have obtained orphan drug designation from the FDA for surufatinib for the treatment of pancreatic NETs. Generally, if a drug with an orphan drug designation subsequently receives the first marketing approval for the indication for which it has such designation, the drug may be entitled to a seven-year period of marketing exclusivity, which precludes the FDA from approving another marketing application for the same molecule for the same indication for that time period. We can provide no assurance that another drug will not receive marketing approval prior to our product candidates. Orphan drug exclusivity may be lost if the FDA determines that the request for designation was materially defective or if the manufacturer is unable to assure sufficient quantity of the drug to meet the needs of patients with the rare disease or condition. In addition, even after a drug is granted orphan exclusivity and approved, the FDA can subsequently approve another drug for the same condition before the expiration of the seven-year exclusivity period if the FDA concludes that the later drug is clinically superior in that it is shown to be safer, more effective or makes a major contribution to patient care. Even if we receive regulatory approval for our drug candidates, we are subject to ongoing obligations and continued regulatory review, which may result in significant additional expense. If the FDA, NMPA or a comparable regulatory authority approves any of our drug candidates, we will continue to be subject to extensive and ongoing regulatory requirements. For example, even though the NMPA has granted approval of fruquintinib, the manufacturing processes, labeling, packaging, distribution, adverse event reporting, storage, advertising, promotion and recordkeeping for fruquintinib continue to be subject to the NMPA’s oversight. These requirements include submissions of safety and other post-marketing information and reports, registration, as well as continued compliance with current good manufacturing processes. Any regulatory approvals that we receive for our drug candidates may also be subject to limitations on the approved indicated uses for which the drug may be marketed or to the conditions of approval, or contain requirements for potentially costly post-marketing testing, including post-approval testing, sometimes referred to as Phase IV clinical trials, and surveillance to monitor the safety and efficacy of the drug. In addition, regulatory policies may change or additional government regulations may be enacted that could prevent, limit or delay regulatory approval of our drug candidates. If we are slow or unable to adapt to changes in existing requirements or the adoption of new requirements or policies, or if we are not able to maintain regulatory compliance, we may lose any regulatory approval that we may have obtained, which would adversely affect our business, prospects and ability to achieve or sustain profitability. 22 We may be subject to penalties if we fail to comply with regulatory requirements or experience unanticipated problems with any of our drugs that receive regulatory approval. Once a drug is approved by the FDA, NMPA or a comparable regulatory authority for marketing, it is possible that there could be a subsequent discovery of previously unknown problems with the drug, including problems with third-party manufacturers or manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements. If any of the foregoing occurs with respect to our drug products, it may result in, among other things:      restrictions on the marketing or manufacturing of the drug, withdrawal of the drug from the market, or drug recalls; fines, warning letters or holds on clinical trials; refusal by the FDA, NMPA or comparable regulatory authority to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications filed by us, or suspension or revocation of drug license approvals; drug seizure or detention, or refusal to permit the import or export of drugs; and injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties. Any government investigation of alleged violations of law could require us to expend significant time and resources and could generate negative publicity. If we or our collaborators are not able to maintain regulatory compliance, regulatory approval that has been obtained may be lost and we may not achieve or sustain profitability, which would adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. The incidence and prevalence for target patient populations of our drug candidates are based on estimates and third-party sources. If the market opportunities for our drug candidates are smaller than we estimate or if any approval that we obtain is based on a narrower definition of the patient population, our revenue and ability to achieve profitability will be adversely affected, possibly materially. Periodically, we make estimates regarding the incidence and prevalence of target patient populations for particular diseases based on various third-party sources and internally generated analysis and use such estimates in making decisions regarding our drug development strategy, including determining indications on which to focus in pre-clinical or clinical trials. These estimates may be inaccurate or based on imprecise data. For example, the total addressable market opportunity will depend on, among other things, their acceptance by the medical community and patient access, drug pricing and reimbursement. The number of patients in the addressable markets may turn out to be lower than expected, patients may not be otherwise amenable to treatment with our drugs, or new patients may become increasingly difficult to identify or gain access to, all of which would adversely affect our results of operations and our business. Our future success depends on our ability to retain key executives and to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. We are highly dependent on the expertise of the members of our research and development team, as well as the other principal members of our management, including Christian Lawrence Hogg, our Chief Executive Officer and director, and Weiguo Su, Ph.D., our Chief Scientific Officer and director. Although we have entered into employment agreements with our executive officers, each of them may terminate their employment with us at any time with three months’ prior written notice. We do not maintain “key person” insurance for any of our executives or other employees. 23 Recruiting and retaining qualified management, scientific, clinical, manufacturing and sales and marketing personnel will also be critical to our success. The loss of the services of our executive officers or other key employees could impede the achievement of our research, development and commercialization objectives and seriously harm our ability to successfully implement our business strategy. Furthermore, replacing executive officers and key employees may be difficult and may take an extended period of time because of the limited number of individuals in our industry with the breadth of skills and experience required to successfully develop, gain regulatory approval of and commercialize drugs. Competition to hire from this limited pool is intense, and we may be unable to hire, train, retain or motivate these key personnel on acceptable terms given the competition among numerous pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies for similar personnel. We also experience competition for the hiring of scientific and clinical personnel from universities and research institutions. Failure to succeed in clinical trials may make it more challenging to recruit and retain qualified scientific personnel. We have expanded our footprint and operations in the United States, and we intend to expand our international operations further in the future, but we may not achieve the results that we expect. In early 2018, we opened our first office in the United States. While we have been involved in clinical and non-clinical development in North America and Europe for over a decade, the activities conducted by our U.S. office will significantly broaden and scale our non- Asian clinical development and international operations. We have significantly expanded, and intend to continue to expand, our U.S. clinical team to support our increasing clinical activities in the United States, Europe, Japan and Australia. In preparation for a potential approval of Sulanda in the United States in 2022, we have built a team of more than 30 personnel covering supply chain, market access, marketing, sales and commercial operation activities. Conducting our business in multiple countries subjects us to a variety of risks and complexities that may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and growth prospects, including, among other things:        the increased complexity and costs inherent in managing international operations; diverse regulatory, financial and legal requirements, and any future changes to such requirements, in one or more countries where we are located or do business; country-specific tax, labor and employment laws and regulations; applicable trade laws, tariffs, export quotas, custom duties or other trade restrictions and any changes to them; challenges inherent in efficiently managing employees in diverse geographies, including the need to adapt systems, policies, benefits and compliance programs to differing labor and other regulations; changes in currency rates; and regulations relating to data security and the unauthorized use of, or access to, commercial and personal information. As a result of our growth, our business and corporate structure has become more complex. There can be no assurance that we will effectively manage the increased complexity without experiencing operating inefficiencies or control deficiencies. Significant management time and effort is required to effectively manage the increased complexity of our company, and our failure to successfully do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. 24 We may be restricted from transferring our scientific data abroad. On March 17, 2018, the General Office of the State Council promulgated the Measures for the Management of Scientific Data, or the Scientific Data Measures, which provides a broad definition of scientific data and relevant rules for the management of scientific data. According to the Scientific Data Measures, enterprises in China must seek governmental approval before any scientific data involving a state secret may be transferred abroad or to foreign parties. Further, any researcher conducting research funded at least in part by the Chinese government is required to submit relevant scientific data for management by the entity to which such researcher is affiliated before such data may be published in any foreign academic journal. Given that the term state secret is not clearly defined in the Scientific Data Measures, if and to the extent our research and development of drug candidates will be subject to the Scientific Data Measures and any subsequent laws as required by the relevant government authorities, we cannot assure you that we can always obtain relevant approvals for sending scientific data (such as the results of our pre-clinical studies or clinical trials conducted within China) abroad or to our foreign partners in China. The PRC Personal Information Protection Law, effective November 2021, provides that where a personal information processor needs to provide personal information outside the territory of the PRC due to business or other needs, it shall meet any of the following conditions: (i) it shall pass the security evaluation organized by the Cyberspace Administration of China (“CAC”) in accordance with the provisions of Article 40 thereof, (ii) it shall have been certified by a specialized agency for protection of personal information in accordance with the provisions of the CAC, (iii) it shall enter into a contract with the overseas recipient under the standard contract formulated by the CAC, specifying the rights and obligations of both parties, or (iv) it shall meet other conditions prescribed by laws, administrative regulations or the CAC. If we are unable to obtain necessary approvals or meet the necessary requirements in a timely manner, or at all, our research and development of drug candidates may be hindered, which may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial conditions and prospects. If the relevant government authorities consider the transmission of our scientific data to be in violation of the requirements under the Scientific Data Measures, we may be subject to fines and other administrative penalties imposed by those government authorities. If we expand our existing compassionate-use program or participate in additional compassionate-use programs, discrepancies among the regulations in different countries may lead to increased risk of adverse drug reactions and serious adverse events arising from the use of our drug candidates. Compassionate-use programs are regulatory programs that facilitate access to investigational drugs for the treatment of patients with serious or immediately life-threatening diseases or conditions that lack therapeutic alternatives. Currently, there is no unified approach or standard practice to regulate compassionate-use programs or access to investigational drugs across countries. In China, the PRC Drug Administration Law provides that drugs in clinical trials intended for the treatment of serious life-threatening diseases without existing effective treatments may, upon review and informed consent, be administered to patients with the same conditions within the institution conducting the clinical trials, provided that such drugs may be beneficial as indicated by medical observation and such practice is in conformity with ethical principles. In the United States, compassionate-use programs are limited to patients who have a life- threatening disease or serious disease or condition, who may gain access to an investigational medical product for treatment outside of clinical trials when no comparable or satisfactory alternative therapy options are available. Additionally, the U.S. Right to Try Act provides a separate pathway for patients with a life-threatening disease or condition who have exhausted all other treatment options and who are unable to participate in clinical trials to access investigational drugs that have passed Phase I clinical trials under a more expedited process. The regulatory discrepancy for compassionate-use programs among countries may lead to uneven patient entry criteria and protocols for compassionate use programs. This may create increased risk of serious adverse events because of enrolled patients’ advanced disease or comorbidities. In addition, because the products in compassionate-use programs are investigational drugs, many of which are still in experimental stages, patients in compassionate-use program may exhibit adverse drug reactions from using these products. We currently have named patient programs in Hong Kong for compassionate use of fruquintinib and surufatinib and an expanded access program in the United States for compassionate use of surufatinib. Although we have enrolled a limited number of patients in each of our current programs, we may be subject to the risk of enrolled patients exhibiting adverse drug reactions or serious adverse events being produced from the use of our drug products, particularly if we expand such programs or establish or participate in additional compassionate-use programs. Such occurrences can potentially lead to clinical holds of our ongoing clinical trials or complicate the determination of the safety profile of a drug candidate under regulatory review for commercial marketing, or expose us to tort liability. 25 Risks Relating to Sales of Our Internally Developed Drugs and Other Drugs Pharmaceutical companies in China are required to comply with extensive regulations and hold a number of permits and licenses to carry on their business. Our and our joint ventures’ ability to obtain and maintain these regulatory approvals is uncertain, and future government regulation may impose additional burdens on our operations. The pharmaceutical industry in China is subject to extensive government regulation and supervision. The regulatory framework addresses all aspects of operations in the pharmaceutical industry, including approval, production, distribution, advertising, licensing and certification requirements and procedures, periodic renewal and reassessment processes, registration of new drugs and environmental protection. Violation of applicable laws and regulations may materially and adversely affect our business. In order to manufacture and distribute pharmaceutical products in China, we and our joint ventures are required to, among other things:     obtain a pharmaceutical manufacturing permit for each production facility from the NMPA; obtain a drug registration certificate, which includes a drug approval number, from the NMPA for each drug manufactured by us; obtain a pharmaceutical distribution permit from the NMPA; and renew the pharmaceutical manufacturing permits, the pharmaceutical distribution permits, drug registration certificates, among other requirements. If we or our joint ventures are unable to obtain or renew such permits or any other permits or licenses required for our or their operations, we will not be able to engage in the manufacture and distribution of our products and our business may be adversely affected. The regulatory framework regarding the pharmaceutical industry in China is subject to change and amendment from time to time. Any such change or amendment could materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. The PRC government has introduced various reforms to the Chinese healthcare system in recent years and may continue to do so, with an overall objective to expand basic medical insurance coverage and improve the quality and reliability of healthcare services. Specific upcoming regulatory and policy changes remain uncertain. The implementing measures to be issued may not be sufficiently effective to achieve the stated goals and, as a result, we may not be able to benefit from such reform to the level we expect, if at all. Moreover, the reform could give rise to regulatory developments, such as more burdensome administrative procedures, which may have an adverse effect on our business and prospects. For further information regarding government regulation in China and other jurisdictions, see Item 4.B. “Business Overview— Regulation—Government Regulation of Pharmaceutical Product Development and Approval,” “Business Overview—Regulation— Coverage and Reimbursement” and “Business Overview—Regulation—Other Healthcare Laws.” 26 As a significant portion of the operations of our Other Ventures is conducted through joint ventures, we are dependent on the success of our joint ventures, our receipt of dividends or other payments from our joint ventures for cash to fund our operations, and our investments in our joint ventures are subject to liquidity risk. We are party to a joint venture agreement with Shanghai Pharmaceuticals, relating to our non-consolidated joint venture namely, Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals, which forms part of the operations of our Other Ventures. Our equity in earnings of such non- consolidated joint venture, net of tax, was $30.7 million, $33.5 million and $44.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively, as recorded in our consolidated financial statements. As such, our results of operations and financial performance have been, and will continue to be, affected by the financial performance of such joint venture as well as any other equity investees we have or may have in the future. We may also be required to recognize an impairment charge in our consolidated financial statements if there is a decline in the fair market value of our investments in such businesses below their carrying amounts for whatever reason that is determined to be other-than-temporary. Furthermore, we have consolidated joint ventures with each of Sinopharm and Hain Celestial which accounted for substantially all of our Other Ventures’ consolidated revenue for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021. As a result, our ability to fund our operations and pay our expenses or to make future dividend payments, if any, is largely dependent on the earnings of our joint ventures and the payment of those earnings to us in the form of dividends. Payments to us by our joint ventures will be contingent upon our joint ventures’ earnings and other business considerations and may be subject to statutory or contractual restrictions. Each joint venture’s ability to distribute dividends to us is subject to approval by their respective boards of directors, which in the case of Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals is comprised of an equal number of representatives from each party. Furthermore, our ability to promptly sell one or more of our interests in our joint ventures in response to changing corporate strategy or economic, financial and investment conditions is limited. The market for such investments can be affected by various factors, such as general economic and market conditions, availability of financing, interest rates and investor demand, many of which are beyond our control. If we determine to sell any of our joint venture investments, we cannot predict if we will be successful or whether any price or other terms offered by a prospective purchaser would be acceptable to us. Operationally, our joint venture partners have certain responsibilities and/or certain rights to exercise control or influence over operations and decision-making under the joint venture arrangements. Therefore, the success of our joint ventures depends on the efforts and abilities of our joint venture parties. For example, we appoint the general managers of Hutchison Sinopharm and Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals pursuant to the respective joint venture agreements governing these entities and therefore oversee the day-to-day management of these joint ventures. However, we still rely on our joint venture partners Sinopharm and Shanghai Pharmaceuticals to provide certain distribution and logistics services. See “—Risks Relating to Our Dependence on Third Parties—Joint ventures form an important part of our Other Ventures, and our ability to manage and develop the businesses conducted by these joint ventures depends in part on our relationship with our joint venture partners” for more information. We may not be successful in building a commercial sales team to successfully manufacture, sell and market our approved drugs, and we may not be able to generate any revenue from such products. We have leveraged our experience operating our prescription drugs business to commercialize certain of our approved, internally developed drug candidates in China. We must adapt our know-how to build a specific oncology and/or immunology focused sales and marketing team. As of December 31, 2021, we had an oncology commercial team with about 630 staff in China and about 30 staff in the United States to support the commercialization of Elunate, Sulanda, Orpathys and our other drug candidates, if approved. There are risks involved in establishing an in-house oncology commercial team. For example, recruiting and/or training a sales force to detail our approved drug candidates is time consuming and could delay any drug launch. Factors that may inhibit our efforts to commercialize our drug candidates include:    our inability to recruit and retain adequate numbers of effective sales and marketing personnel; our inability to effectively manage the expansion of our operations and train additional qualified personnel in the relevant areas of oncology and/or immunology; the inability of our sales personnel to obtain access to physicians or educate adequate numbers of physicians who then prescribe any future drugs; and 27  the lack of complementary drugs to be offered by our sales personnel, which may put us at a competitive disadvantage relative to companies with more extensive product lines. In such case, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects will be materially and adversely affected. We face substantial competition in selling our approved, internally developed drugs and the drugs of our Other Ventures. The marketed drugs developed and sold by our Oncology/Immunology operations and the prescription drugs business which is part of our Other Ventures’ operations face substantial competition in the pharmaceutical industry in China, which is characterized by a number of established, large pharmaceutical companies, as well as smaller emerging pharmaceutical companies, engaged in the development, production, marketing or sales of prescription drugs, in particular cardiovascular drugs. The identities of the key competitors with respect to drugs sold by our Oncology/Immunology and Other Ventures operations vary by product and, in certain cases, competitors have greater financial resources than us and may elect to focus these resources on developing, importing or in- licensing and marketing products in the PRC that are substitutes for our products and may have broader sales and marketing infrastructure with which to do so. Such drugs may compete against products that have lower prices, superior performance, greater ease of administration or other advantages compared to our products. In some circumstances, price competition may drive our competitors to conduct illegal manufacturing processes to lower their manufacturing costs. Increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced margins and loss of market share, whether achieved by either legal or illegal means, any of which could materially and adversely affect our profit margins. We and our joint ventures may not be able to compete effectively against current and future competitors. If we are not able to maintain and enhance brand recognition of our drugs to maintain a competitive advantage, our reputation, business and operating results may be harmed. We believe that market awareness of our products sold through our Oncology/Immunology and Other Ventures operations, which include our joint ventures’ branded products, such as Shang Yao, and the brands of third-party products which are distributed through our joint ventures, has contributed significantly to our success. We also believe that maintaining and enhancing such brands is critical to maintaining our competitive advantage. Although the sales and marketing staff of such businesses will continue to further promote such brands to remain competitive, they may not be successful. If we or our joint ventures are unable to further enhance brand recognition and increase awareness of such products, or are compelled to incur excessive marketing and promotion expenses in order to maintain brand awareness, our business and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. Furthermore, our results of operations could be adversely affected if the Shang Yao brand, or the brands of any other products, or our reputation, are impaired by certain actions taken by our joint venture partners, distributors, competitors or relevant regulatory authorities. Reimbursement may not be available for the products currently sold through our Oncology/Immunology and Other Ventures operations or our drug candidates in China, the United States or other countries, which could diminish our sales or affect our profitability. The regulations that govern pricing and reimbursement for pharmaceuticals vary widely from country to country. Some countries require approval of the sale price of a drug before it can be marketed. In many countries, the pricing review period begins after regulatory approval is granted. In some foreign markets, pharmaceutical pricing remains subject to continuing governmental control even after initial approval is granted. Furthermore, once marketed and sold, government authorities and third-party payors, such as private health insurers and health maintenance organizations, decide which medications they will pay for and establish reimbursement levels. Adverse pricing reimbursement levels may hinder market acceptance of our drug candidates or other products sold by us. 28 In China, for example, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security of the PRC or provincial or local human resources and social security authorities, together with other government authorities, review the inclusion or removal of drugs from the Medicines Catalogue for the National Basic Medical Insurance, Labor Injury Insurance and Childbirth System in China, or the National Reimbursement Drug List, or NRDL, or provincial or local medical insurance catalogues for the National Medical Insurance Program, and the category under which a drug will be classified, both of which affect the amounts reimbursable to program participants for their purchases of those medicines. These determinations are made based on a number of factors, including price and efficacy. Depending on the category under which a drug is classified in the provincial medicine catalogue, a National Medical Insurance Program participant residing in that province can be reimbursed for the full cost of Category A medicine and for the majority of the cost of a Category B medicine. In some instances, if the price range designated by the local or provincial government decreases, it may adversely affect our business and could reduce our total revenue, and if our revenue falls below production costs, we may stop manufacturing certain products. In November 2019 and January 2022, Elunate and Sulanda were added to China’s NRDL as a Category B medicine, respectively. In addition, in order to access certain local or provincial-level markets, our joint ventures are periodically required to enter into competitive bidding processes for She Xiang Bao Xin (the best-selling product of our Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals joint venture) and other products with a pre-defined price range. The competitive bidding in effect sets price ceilings for those products, thereby limiting our profitability. In the United States, there have been and continue to be a number of legislative initiatives to contain healthcare costs which may affect reimbursement rates of our drug candidates if approved. For example, in March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, or the Affordable Care Act, was passed, which substantially changed the way health care is financed by both governmental and private insurers. The Affordable Care Act, among other things, established a new Medicare Part D coverage gap discount program, in which, effective 2019, manufacturers must agree to offer 70% point-of-sale discounts off negotiated prices of applicable brand drugs to eligible beneficiaries during their coverage gap period as a condition for the manufacturer’s outpatient drugs to be covered under Medicare Part D. In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted in the United States since the Affordable Care Act was enacted. Modifications to or repeal of all or certain provisions of the Affordable Care Act had been expected based on statements made by former President Trump and certain members of Congress. However, President Biden has indicated that his healthcare policy will build on the Affordable Care Act and that his administration will prioritize comprehensive drug pricing reform. We cannot predict the ultimate content, timing or effect of any changes to the Affordable Care Act or other federal and state reform efforts. Several U.S. states have also enacted laws to control drug pricing or require manufacturers to disclose information about drug pricing. There is no assurance that federal or state health care reform will not adversely affect our future business and financial results. We expect that additional U.S. state and federal healthcare reform measures will be adopted in the future, any of which could limit the amounts that federal and state governments will pay for healthcare products and services, which could result in reduced demand for our drug candidates or additional pricing pressures. We expect that the pharmaceutical industry will experience pricing pressures due to the increasing influence of managed care (and related implementation of managed care strategies to control utilization), consolidation in drug distribution industry, additional federal and state legislative and regulatory proposals to regulate pricing of drugs, limit coverage of drugs or reduce reimbursement for drugs, public scrutiny and recent regulatory initiatives to control the price of pharmaceuticals through government negotiations of drug prices in Medicare Part D and, eventually Medicare Part B, and importation of cheaper products from abroad. Moreover, eligibility for reimbursement in the United States does not imply that any drug will be paid for in all cases or at a rate that covers our costs, including research, development, manufacture, sale and distribution. Interim U.S. reimbursement levels for new drugs, if applicable, may also not be sufficient to cover our costs and may not be made permanent. Reimbursement rates may vary according to the use of the drug and the clinical setting in which it is used, may be based on reimbursement levels already set for lower cost drugs and may be incorporated into existing payments for other services. Net prices for drugs may be reduced by mandatory discounts or rebates required by U.S. government healthcare programs or private payors and by any future relaxation of laws that presently restrict imports of drugs from countries where they may be sold at lower prices than in the United States. Third-party payors in the United States often rely upon Medicare coverage policy and payment limitations in setting their own reimbursement policies. Our inability to promptly obtain coverage and profitable payment rates from both government-funded and private payors for any approved drugs that we develop could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, our ability to raise capital needed to commercialize drugs and our overall financial condition. 29 Sales of our generic prescription drugs sold through our Other Ventures rely on the ability to win tender bids for the medicine purchases of hospitals in China. Our prescription drugs business markets to hospitals in China that may make bulk purchases of a medicine only if that medicine is selected under a government-administered tender process that was initiated in 2018 and aimed at driving consolidation in the fragmented generic prescription drug market in China. Pursuant to this process, major cities bulk-buy certain generic drugs together, forcing companies to bid for contracts and driving down prices. The process was later expanded nationwide to cover more cities and drugs. This process, which only applies to generic prescription drugs, may reduce our Other Ventures’ product portfolio as some of our third-party generic drug partners may fail to win bids. Periodically, a bidding process is organized on a provincial or municipal basis. Whether a drug manufacturer is invited to participate in the tender depends on the level of interest that hospitals have in purchasing this drug. The interest of a hospital in a medicine is evidenced by:   the inclusion of this medicine on the hospital’s formulary, which establishes the scope of drug physicians at this hospital may prescribe to their patients, and the willingness of physicians at this hospital to prescribe a particular drug to their patients. We believe that effective marketing efforts are critical in making and keeping hospitals interested in purchasing the prescription drugs sold through our Other Ventures so that we and our joint ventures are invited to submit the products to the tender. Even if we and our joint ventures are invited to do so, competitors may be able to substantially reduce the price of their products or services. If competitors are able to offer lower prices, our and our joint ventures’ ability to win tender bids during the hospital tender process will be materially affected, and could reduce our total revenue or decrease our profit. Counterfeit products could negatively impact our revenue, brand reputation, business and results of operations. Our products are subject to competition from counterfeit products, especially counterfeit pharmaceuticals which are manufactured without proper licenses or approvals and are fraudulently mislabeled with respect to their content and/or manufacturer. Counterfeiters may illegally manufacture and market products under our or our joint venture’s brand names, the brand names of the third-party products we or they sell, or those of our or their competitors. Counterfeit pharmaceuticals are generally sold at lower prices than the authentic products due to their low production costs, and in some cases are very similar in appearance to the authentic products. Counterfeit pharmaceuticals may or may not have the same chemical content as their authentic counterparts. If counterfeit pharmaceuticals illegally sold under our or our joint ventures’ brand names or the brand names of third-party products we or they sell result in adverse side effects to consumers, we or our joint ventures may be associated with any negative publicity resulting from such incidents. In addition, consumers may buy counterfeit pharmaceuticals that are in direct competition with products sold through our Oncology/Immunology and Other Ventures operations, which could have an adverse impact on our revenue, business and results of operations. The proliferation of counterfeit pharmaceuticals in China and globally may grow in the future. Any such increase in the sales and production of counterfeit pharmaceuticals in China, or the technological capabilities of the counterfeiters, could negatively impact our revenue, brand reputation, business and results of operations. Rapid changes in the pharmaceutical industry may render our Other Ventures’ products or our internally developed drugs and drug candidates obsolete. Future technological improvements by our competitors and continual product developments in the pharmaceutical market may render our and our joint ventures’ existing products, our or their third-party licensed products or our drug candidates obsolete or affect our viability and competitiveness. Therefore, our future success will largely depend on our and our joint ventures’ ability to:    improve existing products; develop innovative drug candidates; diversify the product and drug candidate portfolio; 30   license diverse third-party products; and develop new and competitively priced products which meet the requirements of the constantly changing market. If we or our joint ventures fail to respond to this environment by improving our existing products, licensing new third-party products or developing new drug candidates in a timely fashion, or if such new or improved products do not achieve adequate market acceptance, our business and profitability may be materially and adversely affected. Certain of our joint ventures’ principal products involve the cultivation or sourcing of key raw materials including botanical products, and any quality control or supply failure or price fluctuations could adversely affect our ability to manufacture our products and/or could materially and adversely affect our operating results. The key raw materials used in the manufacturing process of certain of our joint ventures’ principal products are medicinal herbs whose properties are related to the regions and climatic conditions in which they are grown. Access to quality raw materials and products necessary for the manufacture of our products is not guaranteed. We rely on materials sourced from third-party growers and suppliers. The availability, quality and prices of these raw materials are dependent on and closely affected by weather conditions and other seasonal factors which have an impact on the yields of the harvests each year. The quality, in some instances, also depends on the operations of third-party growers or suppliers. There is a risk that such growers or suppliers sell or attempt to sell us or our joint ventures raw materials which are not authentic. If there is any supply interruption for an indeterminate period of time, our joint ventures may not be able to identify and obtain alternative supplies that comply with our quality standards in a timely manner. Any supply disruption could adversely affect our ability to satisfy demand for our products, and materially and adversely affect our product sales and operating results. Moreover, any use by us or our joint ventures of unauthentic materials illegally sold to us by third-party growers or suppliers in our or our joint ventures’ products may result in adverse side effects to the consumers, negative publicity, or product liability claims against us or our joint ventures, any of which may materially and adversely affect our operating results. The prices of necessary raw materials and products may be subject to price fluctuations according to market conditions, and any sudden increases in demand in the case of a widespread illness such as COVID-19, SARS, MERS or avian flu may impact the costs of production. Raw material price fluctuations could increase the cost to manufacture our products and adversely affect our operating results. Adverse publicity associated with our company, our joint ventures or our or their products or third-party licensed products or similar products manufactured by our competitors could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Sales of our and our joint ventures’ products are highly dependent upon market perceptions of the safety and quality of such products, including proprietary products and third-party products we and they distribute. Concerns over the safety of biopharmaceutical products manufactured in China could have an adverse effect on the reputation of our industry and the sale of such products, including products manufactured or distributed by us and our joint ventures. We and our joint ventures could be adversely affected if any of our or our joint ventures’ products, third-party licensed products or any similar products manufactured by other companies prove to be, or are alleged to be, harmful to patients. Any negative publicity associated with severe adverse reactions or other adverse effects resulting from patients’ use or misuse of our and our joint ventures’ products or any similar products manufactured by other companies could also have a material adverse impact on our results of operations. We and our joint ventures have not, to date, experienced any significant quality control or safety problems. If in the future we or our joint ventures become involved in incidents of the type described above, such problems could severely and adversely impact our financial position and reputation. 31 We are dependent on our joint ventures’ production facilities in Shanghai, China, our manufacturing facility in Suzhou, China and third-party manufacturing facilities for the manufacture of the principal products of our joint ventures and our own drug candidates and products. The principal products sold by our Other Ventures are mainly produced or expected to be produced at our joint ventures’ manufacturing facilities in Shanghai, China. Our commercial supplies of Elunate and Sulanda sold by our Oncology/Immunology operations are manufactured at our manufacturing facility in Suzhou, China. We outsourced the manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients and finished product of Orpathys to a third-party manufacturer based in Shanghai, China. Until construction of our new manufacturing facility in Shanghai is completed and it receives the requisite government approvals, we have no back-up manufacturing facility for fruquintinib and surufatinib, and our ability to produce such drugs will be negatively impacted if we experience any significant production problems at our Suzhou facility. A significant disruption at our, our joint ventures’ and/or our contract manufacturer’s facilities, even on a short-term basis, could impair our and/or our joint ventures’ ability to timely produce and ship products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations. Our, our joint ventures’ and our contract manufacturer’s manufacturing operations are vulnerable to interruption and damage from natural and other types of disasters, including earthquake, fire, floods, environmental accidents, power loss, communications failures and similar events. If any disaster were to occur, our ability to operate our, our joint ventures’ or our contract manufacturer’s business at these facilities would be materially impaired. In addition, the nature of our production and research activities could cause significant delays in our programs and make it difficult for us to recover from a disaster or switch to other contract manufacturers. We and our joint ventures maintain insurance for business interruptions to cover some of our potential losses; however, such disasters could still disrupt our operations and thereby result in substantial costs and diversion of resources. In addition, our, our joint ventures’ and our contract manufacturer’s production process requires a continuous supply of electricity. We and they have encountered power shortages historically due to restricted power supply to industrial users during summers when the usage of electricity is high and supply is limited or as a result of damage to the electricity supply network. Because the duration of those power shortages was brief, they had no material impact on our or their operations. Interruptions of electricity supply could result in lengthy production shutdowns, increased costs associated with restarting production and the loss of production in progress. Any major suspension or termination of electricity or other unexpected business interruptions could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may engage in strategic transactions, including acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or divestitures that may have an adverse effect on our business. If we engage in a strategic transaction, there is no assurance that the transaction will be consummated. We may pursue transactions as part of our business strategy, including continuing to actively evaluate non-core assets divestment opportunities. For instance, on March 24, 2021, we entered into a sale and purchase agreement with GL Mountrose Investment Two Limited, a company controlled and managed by GL Capital Group, to sell our entire investment in Hutchison Baiyunshan. The sale was completed on September 28, 2021. We are also considering divesting other non-core businesses in our Other Ventures segment, including Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals. For more information, please refer to Item 4.A. “History and Development of the Company”, “Disposal of Hutchison Baiyunshan.” Acquisitions and investments involve numerous risks such as difficulties in finding suitable partners or acquisition candidates, difficulties in obtaining financing on favorable terms, if at all, the assumption of certain known and unknown liabilities of acquired companies and difficulties in integrating operations, services, products and personnel. Divestitures also involve numerous risks. Any divestiture could result in a dilutive impact to our future earnings and significant write-offs, including those related to goodwill and other intangible assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Divestitures could involve additional risks, including difficulties in the separation of operations, services, products and personnel, the diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns, the disruption of our business and the potential loss of key employees. We may not complete strategic transactions in a timely manner, on a cost-effective basis, or at all, and we may not realize the expected benefits of any transaction. We may not be successful in managing these or any other significant risks that we encounter if we engage in a strategic transaction. If we are not successful in managing the risks, uncertainties and potential disruptions, a strategic transaction could have a negative impact on our business, results of operations or financial position. 32 Risks Relating to Our Dependence on Third Parties Disagreements or disputes with our current or future collaboration partners, the amendment of any collaboration agreement or the termination of any collaboration arrangement, could cause delays in our product development and materially and adversely affect our business. Our collaborations, including those with our oncology drug partners AstraZeneca and Eli Lilly and our in-licensing arrangement with Epizyme, and any future collaborations that we enter into may not be successful. Disagreements or disputes between parties to a collaboration arrangement regarding issues such as clinical development and commercialization, intellectual property ownership and transfer, clinical supply of drug candidates or products, cost allocation and other matters can lead to delays in the development process or commercializing the applicable drug candidate and, in some cases, termination of the collaboration arrangement. In addition, we or our partners may seek to amend the terms of one or more our collaboration agreements to adjust, among other things, the respective roles of our company and our collaboration partners as circumstances change. Our interests may not always be aligned with those of our collaboration partners, for instance, we are much smaller than our collaboration partners and because they or their affiliates may sell competing products. This may result in potential conflicts between our collaborators and us on matters that we may not be able to resolve on favorable terms or at all. Collaborations with pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies and other third parties, including our existing agreements with AstraZeneca and Eli Lilly, are often terminable by the other party for any reason with certain advance notice. Any such termination or expiration would adversely affect us financially and could harm our business reputation. For instance, in the event one of the strategic alliances with a current collaborator is terminated, we may require significant time and resources to secure a new collaboration partner, if we are able to secure such an arrangement at all. As noted in the following risk factor, establishing new collaboration arrangements can be challenging and time-consuming. The loss of existing or future collaboration arrangements would not only delay or potentially terminate the possible development or commercialization of products we may derive from our technologies, but it may also delay or terminate our ability to test specific target candidates. We rely on our collaborations with third parties for certain of our drug development activities, and, if we are unable to establish new collaborations when desired on commercially attractive terms or at all, we may have to alter our development and commercialization plans. Certain of our drug development programs and the potential commercialization of certain drug candidates rely on collaborations, such as savolitinib with AstraZeneca and fruquintinib with Eli Lilly. In addition, we recently entered into collaborations with BeiGene, Inmagene and Epizyme in 2020, 2021 and 2021, respectively. In the future, we may decide to collaborate with additional pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies for the development and potential commercialization of our other drug candidates. We face significant competition in seeking appropriate collaborators. Whether we reach a definitive agreement for collaboration will depend, among other things, upon our assessment of the collaborator’s resources and expertise, the terms and conditions of the proposed collaboration and the proposed collaborator’s evaluation of a number of factors. Those factors may include the design or results of clinical trials, the likelihood of approval by the FDA, NMPA or similar regulatory authorities outside the United States and China, the potential market for the subject drug candidate, the costs and complexities of manufacturing and delivering such drug candidate to patients, the potential of competing drugs, the existence of uncertainty with respect to our ownership of technology, which can exist if there is a challenge to such ownership without regard to the merits of the challenge and industry and market conditions generally. The collaborator may also consider alternative drug candidates or technologies for similar indications that may be available to collaborate on and whether such collaboration could be more attractive than the one with us for our drug candidate. The terms of any additional collaboration or other arrangements that we may establish may not be favorable to us. We may also be restricted under existing collaboration agreements from entering into future agreements on certain terms with potential collaborators. Collaborations are complex and time-consuming to negotiate and document. In addition, there have been a significant number of recent business combinations among large pharmaceutical companies that have resulted in a reduced number of potential future collaborators. 33 We may not be able to negotiate additional collaborations on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to do so, we may have to curtail the development of the drug candidate for which we are seeking to collaborate, reduce or delay its development program or one or more of our other development programs, delay its potential commercialization or reduce the scope of any sales or marketing activities, or increase our expenditures and undertake development or commercialization activities at our own expense. If we elect to increase our expenditures to fund development or commercialization activities on our own, we may need to obtain additional capital, which may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. If we do not have sufficient funds, we may not be able to further develop our drug candidates or bring them to market and generate drug revenue. The third-party vendors upon whom we rely for the supply of the active pharmaceutical ingredients used in some of our drug candidates and drug products are our sole source of supply, and the loss of any of these suppliers could significantly harm our business. The active pharmaceutical ingredients used in some of our drug candidates and products are supplied to us from third-party vendors. Our ability to successfully develop our drug candidates, and to supply our commercial drugs in quantities sufficient to meet the market demand, depends in part on our ability to obtain the active pharmaceutical ingredients for these drugs in accordance with regulatory requirements and in sufficient quantities for commercialization and clinical testing. We currently obtain active pharmaceutical ingredients for each of our drug candidates from a limited number of suppliers. For example, a single supplier based in Shanghai manufactures and provides us active pharmaceutical ingredient for savolitinib. In the event any of our current suppliers of such active pharmaceutical ingredient cease operations for any reason, it may lead to an interruption in our production and supply of the product. For all of our drug candidates and products, we aim to identify and qualify a manufacturer to provide such active pharmaceutical ingredient prior to submission of an NDA to the FDA and/or NMPA. We are not certain, however, that our current supply arrangements will be able to meet our demand, either because of the nature of our agreements with third party suppliers, our limited experience with third party suppliers or our relative importance as a customer to those suppliers. It may be difficult for us to assess third party vendors’ ability to timely meet our demand in the future based on past performance. While our suppliers have generally met our demand on a timely basis in the past, they may subordinate our needs in the future to their other customers. Establishing additional or replacement suppliers for the active pharmaceutical ingredients used in our drug candidates and products, if required, may not be accomplished quickly. If we are able to find a replacement supplier, such alternative arrangements would need to be qualified and may require additional regulatory approval, which could result in further delay. While we seek to maintain adequate inventory of the active pharmaceutical ingredients used in our drug candidates and products, any interruption or delay in the supply of components or materials, or our inability to obtain such active pharmaceutical ingredient from alternate sources at acceptable prices in a timely manner could impede, delay, limit or prevent our development and commercialization efforts, which could harm our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. We and our collaborators rely, and expect to continue to rely, on third parties to conduct certain of our clinical trials for our drug candidates. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties, comply with regulatory requirements or meet expected deadlines, we may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for or commercialize our drug candidates and our business could be harmed. We do not have the ability to independently conduct large-scale clinical trials. We and our collaboration partners rely, and expect to continue to rely, on medical institutions, clinical investigators, contract laboratories and other third parties, such as CROs, to conduct or otherwise support certain clinical trials for our drug candidates. Nevertheless, we and our collaboration partners (as applicable) will be responsible for ensuring that each clinical trial is conducted in accordance with the applicable protocol, legal and regulatory requirements and scientific standards, and reliance on CROs will not relieve us of our regulatory responsibilities. For any violations of laws and regulations during the conduct of clinical trials for our drug candidates, we could be subject to warning letters or enforcement action that may include civil penalties up to and including criminal prosecution. Although we or our collaboration partners design the clinical trials for our drug candidates, CROs conduct most of the clinical trials. As a result, many important aspects of our development programs, including their conduct and timing, are outside of our direct control. Our reliance on third parties to conduct clinical trials results in less control over the management of data developed through clinical trials than would be the case if we were relying entirely upon our own staff. Communicating with outside parties can also be challenging, potentially leading to mistakes as well as difficulties in coordinating activities. Outside parties may:  have staffing difficulties; 34     fail to comply with contractual obligations; experience regulatory compliance issues; undergo changes in priorities or become financially distressed; or form relationships with other entities, some of which may be our competitors. These factors may materially and adversely affect the willingness or ability of third parties to conduct our and our collaboration partners’ clinical trials and may subject us or them to unexpected cost increases that are beyond our or their control. If any of our and our collaboration partners’ relationships with these third-party CROs terminate, we or they may not be able to enter into arrangements with alternative CROs on reasonable terms or at all. If CROs do not successfully carry out their contractual duties or obligations or meet expected deadlines, if they need to be replaced or if the quality or accuracy of the clinical data they obtain is compromised due to the failure to adhere to our clinical protocols, regulatory requirements or for other reasons, any clinical trials such CROs are associated with may be extended, delayed or terminated, and we may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for or successfully commercialize our drug candidates. As a result, we believe that our financial results and the commercial prospects for our drug candidates in the subject indication would be harmed, our costs could increase and our ability to generate revenue could be delayed. We, our collaboration partners or our CROs may fail to comply with the regulatory requirements pertaining to clinical trials, which could result in fines, adverse publicity and civil or criminal sanctions. We, our collaboration partners and our CROs are required to comply with regulations for conducting, monitoring, recording and reporting the results of clinical trials to ensure that the data and results are scientifically credible and accurate, and that the trial patients are adequately informed of the potential risks of participating in clinical trials and their rights are protected. These regulations are enforced by the FDA, the NMPA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities for any drugs in clinical development. In the United States, the FDA regulates GCP through periodic inspections of clinical trial sponsors, principal investigators and trial sites. If we, our collaboration partners or our CROs fail to comply with applicable GCPs, the clinical data generated in our clinical trials may be deemed unreliable and the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities may require additional clinical trials before approving the marketing applications for the relevant drug candidate. We cannot assure you that, upon inspection, the FDA or other applicable regulatory authority will determine that any of the future clinical trials for our drug candidates will comply with GCPs. In addition, clinical trials must be conducted with drug candidates produced under applicable manufacturing regulations. Our failure or the failure of our collaboration partners or CROs to comply with these regulations may require us or them to repeat clinical trials, which would delay the regulatory approval process and could also subject us to enforcement action. We are also required to register applicable clinical trials and post certain results of completed clinical trials on a U.S. government-sponsored database, ClinicalTrials.gov, within certain timeframes. Failure to do so can result in fines, adverse publicity and civil sanctions. Our collaboration partners, principal investigators, CROs and other third-party contractor and consultants may engage in misconduct or other improper activities. We are exposed to the risk that collaboration partners, principal investigators, CROs and other third-party contractor and consultants may engage in fraudulent or other illegal activity with respect to our business. Their misconduct could include intentional, reckless and/or negligent conduct or unauthorized activity that violates NMPA, FDA or other regulations, including but not limited to those laws requiring the reporting of true, complete and accurate information. In addition, sales, marketing and business arrangements in the healthcare industry are subject to extensive laws and regulations intended to prevent fraud, kickbacks, self-dealing and other abusive practices. These laws and regulations may restrict or prohibit a wide range of insurance, pricing, discounting, marketing and promotion, sales commission, customer incentive programs and other business arrangements. We may not be able to identify and deter such misconduct, and the precautions we take to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting us from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to be in compliance with such laws or regulations. If any such actions are instituted against us, our collaboration partners, principal investigators, CROs and other third-party contractor and consultants, and we and/or such other parties are not successful in defending ourselves or asserting our rights, those actions could have a significant impact on our business, including the imposition of civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, monetary fines, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings and disruption of our operations. 35 Joint ventures form an important part of our Other Ventures, and our ability to manage and develop the businesses conducted by these joint ventures depends in part on our relationship with our joint venture partners. We are party to joint venture agreements with each of Shanghai Pharmaceuticals, Sinopharm and Hain Celestial, which together form a major portion of our Other Ventures. Under these arrangements, our joint venture partners have certain operational responsibilities and/or certain rights to exercise control or influence over operations and decision-making. Our equity interests in these operating companies do not provide us with the unilateral ability to control actions which require shareholder approval. In addition, under the joint venture contracts for these entities, the consent of the directors nominated by our joint venture partners is required for the passing of resolutions in relation to certain matters concerning the operations of these companies. As a result, although we participate in the management and nominate the management and run the day-to-day operations of our joint ventures, Hutchison Sinopharm, Hutchison Hain Organic and Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals, we may not be able to secure the consent of our joint venture partners to pursue activities or strategic objectives that are beneficial to or that facilitate our overall business strategies. Furthermore, disagreements or disputes which arise between us and our joint venture partners may potentially require legal action to resolve and hinder the smooth operation of our Other Ventures or adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and prospects. We are relying on third parties to construct our new manufacturing facility in Shanghai. Any delays in completing and receiving regulatory approvals for our new Shanghai facility, or any disruptions to the third parties’ performance of their obligations, could reduce or restrict our production capacity for the drug candidates used in our clinical trials or our commercial supply for any drug candidates which are approved. We are contracting with third parties to construct our new manufacturing facility in Shanghai. The new facility is expected to be a 55,000 square meter large-scale facility with a production capacity estimated to be five times that of our existing manufacturing plant in Suzhou. The first phase will be primarily for small molecule production, with production capacity expected to be able to produce 250 million tablets and capsules per year. The second phase is expected to include expansion into large molecule production. Third parties will be responsible for the construction of the buildings, including the production lines and other production facilities within such buildings. We cannot assure you that we will not experience any disruptions to the third parties’ performance of their obligations, and there could be delays in completing and receiving regulatory approvals for our new manufacturing facility. If the construction of our manufacturing facility or our production lines encounter unanticipated delays or incur additional expenses than expected, if regulatory evaluation and/or approval of our new manufacturing facility is delayed, or if our third party contracts are terminated or adversely affected, our manufacturing capacity of our drug candidates may be limited, which would delay or limit our development and commercialization activities and our opportunities for growth. Cost overruns associated with constructing or maintaining our Shanghai facility could also require us to raise additional funds from other sources. Any disruption that impedes our ability to manufacture our drug candidates in a timely manner could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. We and our joint ventures rely on our distributors for logistics and distribution services. We and our joint ventures rely on distributors to perform certain operational activities, including invoicing, logistics and delivery of the products we and they market to the end customers. Because we and our joint ventures rely on third-party distributors, we have less control than if we handled distribution logistics directly and can be adversely impacted by the actions of our distributors. Any disruption of our distribution network, including failure to renew existing distribution agreements with desired distributors, could negatively affect our ability to effectively sell our products and materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of us and our joint ventures. 36 There is no assurance that the benefits currently enjoyed by virtue of our association with CK Hutchison will continue to be available. Historically, we have relied on the reputation and experience of, and support provided by, our founding shareholder, a wholly owned subsidiary of CK Hutchison, to advance our joint ventures and collaborations in China and elsewhere. CK Hutchison is interested in approximately 38.46% of our total outstanding share capital as of March 1, 2022. We believe that CK Hutchison group’s reputation in China has given us an advantage in negotiating collaborations and obtaining opportunities. We also benefit from sharing certain services with the CK Hutchison group including, among others, legal and regulatory services, company secretarial support services, tax and internal audit services, participation in the CK Hutchison group’s pension, medical and insurance plans, participation in the CK Hutchison group’s procurement projects with third-party vendors/suppliers, other staff benefits and staff training services, company functions and activities and operation advisory and support services. We pay a management fee to an affiliate of CK Hutchison for the provision of such services. In each of the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, we paid a management fee of approximately $0.9 million, $1.0 million and $1.0 million respectively. In addition, we benefit from the fact that two retail chains affiliated with the CK Hutchison group, PARKnSHOP and Watsons, sell certain of our Other Ventures’ products in their stores throughout Hong Kong and in other Asian countries. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, sales of our products to members of the CK Hutchison group amounted to $7.6 million, $5.5 million and $4.3 million, respectively. Our business also depends on certain intellectual property rights licensed to us by the CK Hutchison group. See “—Risks Relating to Intellectual Property—We and our joint ventures are dependent on trademark and other intellectual property rights licensed from others. If we lose our licenses for any of our products, we or our joint ventures may not be able to continue developing such products or may be required to change the way we market such products” for more information on risks associated with such intellectual property licensed to us. There can be no assurance the CK Hutchison group will continue to provide the same benefits or support that they have provided to our business historically. Such benefit or support may no longer be available to us, in particular, if CK Hutchison’s ownership interest in our company significantly decreases in the future. Other Risks and Risks Relating to Doing Business in China The COVID-19 pandemic and other adverse public health developments could materially and adversely affect our business. In December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was reported and has since spread around the world. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global pandemic. In response to the pandemic, many governments around the world have implemented a variety of measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19, including travel restrictions and bans, instructions to residents to practice social distancing, quarantine advisories, shelter-in-place orders and required closures of non-essential businesses. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. The continued COVID-19 pandemic and other adverse public health developments could adversely impact our operations, given the impact they may have on the manufacturing and supply chain, our sales and marketing and clinical trial operations and those of our collaboration partners, and the ability to advance our research and development activities and pursue development of any of our drug candidates, each of which could have an adverse impact on our business and our financial results. For instance, our clinical studies have encountered some limitations to patient visits for screening, treatment and clinical assessment, and our prescription drug sales teams have seen some short-term limitations on conducting normal operations. Although COVID-19 did not impact our research, our clinical studies or commercial activities in any material manner in 2021, certain regulatory inspections of our manufacturing facilities in China by the U.S. FDA have, however, been postponed due to travel restrictions. We will continue to closely work with regulators and monitor the evolving situation. The ultimate impact of the current COVID-19 pandemic, or any other adverse public health development, is highly uncertain and will depend on future developments that cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the duration of the outbreak and the effectiveness of actions to contain and treat COVID-19. Although we do not expect any material impact on our long-term activity, we do not yet know the full extent of potential delays or impacts on our business, our clinical trials, our research programs, healthcare systems or the global economy as a whole, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and cash flows. 37 We are subject to stringent privacy laws, information security policies and contractual obligations related to data privacy and security, and we may be exposed to risks related to our management of the medical data of subjects enrolled in our clinical trials and other personal or sensitive information. We routinely receive, collect, generate, store, process, transmit and maintain medical data, treatment records and other personal details of the subjects enrolled in our clinical trials, along with other personal or sensitive information. As such, we are subject to the relevant local, state, national and international data protection and privacy laws, directives regulations, and standards that apply to the collection, use, retention, protection, disclosure, transfer and other processing of personal data in the various jurisdictions in which we operate and conduct our clinical trials. We are also subject to contractual obligations regarding the processing of personal data. Legal requirements regarding data protection and privacy continue to evolve and may result in ever-increasing public scrutiny and escalating levels of enforcement and sanctions and increased costs of compliance. Failure to comply with any of these laws could result in enforcement action against us, including investigations, civil and criminal enforcement action, fines, imprisonment of company officers and public censure, claims for damages by customers and other affected individuals, damage to our reputation and loss of goodwill, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects. Data protection and privacy laws and regulations generally require clinical trial sponsors and operators and their personnel to protect the privacy of their enrolled subjects and prohibit unauthorized disclosure of personal information. We have established procedures to protect the confidentiality of medical records and personal data of subjects enrolled in our clinical trials. Access to clinical trial data has been strictly limited to authorized personnel only according to the relevant rules and regulations. External parties involved in clinical trials are also required to comply with all relevant data protection and confidentiality requirements. Data are to be used only for the intended use, as agreed by the patients and consistent with the patients’ informed consent form. While we have adopted security policies and measures to protect our proprietary data and patients’ privacy, personal patient information could be subject to leaks caused by hacking activities, human error, employee misconduct or negligence or system breakdown. We also cooperate with third parties including collaboration partners, principal investigators, hospitals, CROs and other third-party contractor and consultants for our clinical trials and operations. Any leakage or abuse of patient data by our third-party partners may be perceived by the patients as a result of our failure. Furthermore, any change in applicable laws and regulations could affect our ability to use medical data and subject us to liability for the use of such data for previously permitted purposes. Any failure or perceived failure by us to prevent information security breaches or to comply with privacy policies or privacy-related legal obligations, or any compromise of information security that results in the unauthorized release or transfer of personally identifiable information or other patient data, could cause our customers to lose trust in us and could expose us to legal claims. There are numerous U.S. federal and state laws and regulations relating to the privacy and security of personal information. In particular, regulations promulgated pursuant to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, as amended, establish privacy and security standards that limit the use and disclosure of individually identifiable health information (known as “protected health information”), require the implementation of administrative, physical and technological safeguards to protect the privacy of protected health information and ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of electronic protected health information, and create breach reporting obligations in cases of certain unauthorized uses or disclosures. Determining whether protected health information has been handled in compliance with applicable privacy standards and our contractual obligations can require complex factual and statistical analyses and may be subject to changing interpretations. Although we take measures to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access, use or disclosure, and whenever possible contractually require third-party partners to do the same, our information technology and infrastructure and those of our third-party partners may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or viruses or breached due to employee error, malfeasance or other malicious or inadvertent disruptions. Any such breach or interruption could compromise those networks and the information stored there could be accessed by unauthorized parties, manipulated, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen. Any such access, breach, or other loss of information relating to our information technology and infrastructure or that of our third-party partners may subject us to liability including legal claims or proceedings and liability under federal or state laws that protect the privacy of personal information, such as HIPAA, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (“HITECH”) Act, and regulatory penalties. If we or a third-party partner suffers a breach, we may need to send breach notifications to affected individuals and, if 500 or more individuals were affected, also notify the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. Breach notifications may separately be required under applicable state breach notification laws, which may include notifications to affected individuals, and for extensive breaches, to the media, credit reporting agencies, and/or State Attorneys General. Such notices could harm our reputation and our ability to compete and could potentially attract enforcement scrutiny from governmental authorities. 38 Regulatory authorities in China have implemented and are considering a number of legislative and regulatory proposals concerning data protection. The PRC Cyber Security Law, which became effective in June 2017, created China’s first national-level data protection for “network operators,” which may include all organizations in China that provide services over the internet or another information network. The PRC Data Security Law, which took effect in September 2021, provides for a security review procedure for the data activities that may affect national security. The PRC Personal Information Protection Law, which took effect from November 2021, provides the circumstances under which a personal information processor could process personal information and the requirements for such circumstances. The PRC Personal Information Protection Law clarifies the scope of application, the definition of personal information and sensitive personal information, the legal basis of personal information processing and the basic requirements of notice and consent. The Measures for Cybersecurity Review, which took effect on February 15, 2022, provides that critical information infrastructure operators that purchase network products and services and online platform operators engaging in data processing activities that affect or may affect national security shall be subject to the cybersecurity review. The Measures for Cybersecurity Review further elaborates the factors to be considered when assessing the national security risks of the relevant activities, including, among others: (i) the risk of core data, important data, or a large amount of personal information being stolen, leaked, destroyed, and illegally used or transferred out of the country, and (ii) the risk of critical information infrastructure, core data, important data, or a large amount of personal information being affected, controlled, or maliciously used by foreign governments after listing. Drafts of some of these measures have now been published, including the Data Security Management Measures (Draft for Comments) published in May 2019, the Measures on Security Assessment for Individual Information Cross-border Transfer (Draft for Comments) in June 2019, and the Measures on Security Assessment of Cross-border Data Transfer (Draft for Comments) in October 2021, which may, upon enactment, require security review before transferring human health-related data out of China. In addition, certain industry-specific laws and regulations affect the collection and transfer of personal data in China. For example, the Regulations of the PRC on the Administration of Human Genetic Resources, or HGR Regulations, which became effective and implemented on July 1, 2019, stipulates that use of Chinese human genetic resources, or HGR, for the purposes of carrying out collaborative international scientific research shall be approved by the administrative department of science and technology under the State Council, with which the two parties shall file the type, quantity and usage of the human genetic resources, to be used before clinical trials. However, no approval is required for “international collaboration in clinical trials” that do not involve the export of HGR materials; the two parties to the international collaboration shall file the type, quantity and usage of the HGR to be used with the administrative department of science and technology under the State Council before clinical trials. The PRC Biosecurity Law, which took effect on April 15, 2021, stipulates that foreign organizations and individuals, as well as institutions they establish or are the actual controllers of, must not collect or preserve HGR within the territory of China and must not provide China’s HGR to overseas. It is possible that these laws may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our practices, potentially resulting in confiscation of HGR samples and associated data and administrative fines, penalties and negative publicity. Our clinical trial programs may implicate European data privacy laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation, or the GDPR, and local laws further implementing or supplementing the GDPR. The GDPR implements more stringent operational requirements for processors and controllers of personal data including requirements for such companies to be able to ensure and be able to demonstrate compliance with the GDPR. If our or our third-party partners’ privacy or data security measures fail to comply with the GDPR requirements, we may be subject to litigation, regulatory investigations, enforcement notices requiring us to change the way we use personal data and/or fines of up to 20 million Euros or up to 4% of the total worldwide annual turnover of the preceding financial year, whichever is higher. In addition to statutory enforcement, non-compliance can lead to compensation claims by affected individuals, negative publicity and a potential loss of business. We are also subject to European laws on personal data export, as we may transfer personal data from the E.U. (or U.K.) to other jurisdictions which are not considered by the European Commission to offer “adequate” protection of personal data (such as Hong Kong or the United States). Following the Schrems II decision of the European Court of Justice in 2020, there has been intensified focus on exports of personal data which do not meet the high standards of protection expected by the E.U. Certain supervisory authorities in the E.U. have now begun to take enforcement action in this area, ordering restrictions on certain transfers of personal data to third countries such as the United States. These changes could require us to make operational changes and could increase costs and may lead to governmental enforcement actions, litigation, fines and penalties or adverse publicity that could have an adverse effect on our business. 39 Complying with all applicable laws, regulations, standards and obligations relating to data privacy, security, and transfers may cause us to incur substantial operational costs or require us to modify our data processing practices and processes. Non-compliance could result in proceedings against us by data protection authorities, governmental entities or others, including class action privacy litigation in certain jurisdictions, which would subject us to significant fines, penalties, judgments and negative publicity. In addition, if our practices are not consistent or viewed as not consistent with legal and regulatory requirements, including changes in laws, regulations and standards or new interpretations or applications of existing laws, regulations and standards, we may become subject to audits, inquiries, whistleblower complaints, adverse media coverage, investigations, loss of export privileges, severe criminal or civil sanctions and reputational damage. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, business, financial conditions, results of operations and prospects. Product liability claims or lawsuits could cause us, our collaborators or our joint ventures to incur substantial liabilities. We, our collaborators and our joint ventures face an inherent risk of product liability exposure related to the use of our drug candidates in clinical trials, sales of our or our joint ventures’ products or the products we or they license from third parties. If we, our collaborators and our joint ventures cannot successfully defend against claims that the use of such drug candidates in our clinical trials or any products sold by us or our joint ventures, including fruquintinib, surufatinib, savolitinib and/or any of our drug candidates which receive regulatory approval, caused injuries, we, our collaborators and our joint ventures could incur substantial liabilities. Regardless of merit or eventual outcome, liability claims may result in:   decreased demand for our and our joint ventures’ products; significant negative media attention and reputational damage;  withdrawal of clinical trial participants;     significant costs to defend the related litigation; substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients; loss of revenue; and the inability to commercialize any drug candidates that we may develop. Our principal insurance policies cover product liability for fruquintinib, surufatinib, savolitinib, certain prescription drugs and health supplements, property loss due to accidents or natural disasters and adverse events in clinical trials. Existing PRC laws and regulations do not require us, our collaborators or our joint ventures to have, nor do we or they, maintain liability insurance to cover product liability claims except with respect to fruquintinib, surufatinib, savolitinib, certain prescription drugs and health supplements, and liability with respect to our oncology and immunology clinical trials. Any litigation might, result in substantial costs and diversion of resources. While we maintain liability insurance for clinical trials and products, this insurance may not fully cover our potential liabilities. Inability to obtain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or otherwise to protect against potential product liability claims could prevent or inhibit the commercialization of products that we or our collaborators develop. 40 We and our joint ventures may be exposed to liabilities under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA, U.S. healthcare fraud and abuse laws, the Bribery Act 2010 of the United Kingdom, or U.K. Bribery Act, and Chinese anti-corruption laws, and any determination that we have violated these laws could have a material adverse effect on our business or our reputation. In the day-to-day conduct of our business, we and our joint ventures are in frequent contact with persons who may be considered government officials under applicable anti-corruption, anti-bribery and anti-kickback laws, which include doctors at public hospitals in China and elsewhere. Therefore, we and our joint ventures are subject to risk of violations under the FCPA, the U.K. Bribery Act, and other laws in the countries where we do business. We and our joint ventures have operations in China, agreements with third parties in China, and we and our joint ventures make most of our sales in China. The PRC laws and regulations also strictly prohibit bribery of government officials. Our and our joint ventures’ activities in China create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by the directors, employees, representatives, distributors, consultants or agents of our company or our joint ventures, even though they may not always be subject to our control. It is our policy to implement safeguards to discourage these practices by our and our joint ventures’ employees and third parties. We have implemented and adopted policies designed by the R&D-based Pharmaceutical Association Committee, an industry association representing approximately 40 global biopharmaceutical companies, to ensure compliance by us and our joint ventures and our and their directors, officers, employees, representatives, distributors, consultants and agents with the anti- corruption laws and regulations. We cannot assure you, however, that our existing safeguards are sufficient or that our or our joint ventures’ directors, officers, employees, representatives, distributors, consultants and agents have not engaged and will not engage in conduct for which we may be held responsible, nor can we assure you that our business partners have not engaged and will not engage in conduct that could materially affect their ability to perform their contractual obligations to us or even result in our being held liable for such conduct. Violations of the FCPA, the U.K. Bribery Act or Chinese anti-corruption laws may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. If we begin to commercialize products in the United States and secure governmental reimbursement of our products, we also will be subject to the risk of violating U.S. federal and state healthcare fraud and abuse laws, including the Anti-Kickback Statute and the False Claims Act. These laws broadly prohibit providing or receiving kickbacks in connection with government-reimbursed healthcare items or services, as well submitting or causing the submission of false or fraudulent claims to government healthcare programs. Violations of these laws may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions and other administrative sanctions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. Ensuring that our and our joint ventures’ future business arrangements with third parties comply with applicable laws could also involve substantial costs. It is possible that governmental authorities will conclude that our business practices do not comply with current or future statutes, regulations or case law involving applicable fraud and abuse or other healthcare laws and regulations. If our or our joint ventures’ operations were found to be in violation of any of these laws or any other governmental regulations that may apply to us, we may be subject to significant civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, fines, disgorgement, individual imprisonment and exclusion from government funded healthcare programs, any of which could substantially disrupt our operations. If the physicians, hospitals or other providers or entities with whom we and our joint ventures do business are found not to be in compliance with applicable laws, they may also be subject to criminal, civil or administrative sanctions, including exclusions from government funded healthcare programs. 41 If we or our joint ventures fail to comply with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, we or they could become subject to fines or penalties or incur costs that could have a material adverse effect on the success of our business. We and our joint ventures are subject to numerous environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including those governing laboratory procedures and the handling, use, storage, treatment and disposal of hazardous materials and wastes. Our operations involve the use of hazardous and flammable materials, including chemical materials. Our operations also produce hazardous waste products. We and our joint ventures are therefore subject to PRC laws and regulations concerning the discharge of waste water, gaseous waste and solid waste during our manufacturing processes. We and our joint ventures are required to establish and maintain facilities to dispose of waste and report the volume of waste to the relevant government authorities, which conduct scheduled or unscheduled inspections of our facilities and treatment of such discharge. We and our joint ventures may not at all times comply fully with environmental regulations. Any violation of these regulations may result in substantial fines, criminal sanctions, revocations of operating permits, shutdown of our facilities and obligation to take corrective measures. We and our joint ventures generally contract with third parties for the disposal of these materials and waste. We and our joint ventures cannot eliminate the risk of contamination or injury from these materials. In the event of contamination or injury resulting from the use of hazardous materials, we and/or our joint ventures could be held liable for any resulting damages, and any liability could exceed our resources. We and/or our joint ventures also could incur significant costs associated with civil or criminal fines and penalties. Although we and our joint ventures maintain workers’ compensation insurance to cover costs and expenses incurred due to on-the-job injuries to our employees and third-party liability insurance for injuries caused by unexpected seepage, pollution or contamination, this insurance may not provide adequate coverage against potential liabilities. Furthermore, the PRC government may take steps towards the adoption of more stringent environmental regulations. Due to the possibility of unanticipated regulatory or other developments, the amount and timing of future environmental expenditures may vary substantially from those currently anticipated. If there is any unanticipated change in the environmental regulations, we and our joint ventures may need to incur substantial capital expenditures to install, replace, upgrade or supplement our equipment or make operational changes to limit any adverse impact or potential adverse impact on the environment in order to comply with new environmental protection laws and regulations. If such costs become prohibitively expensive, we may be forced to cease certain aspects of our or our joint ventures’ business operations. We rely significantly on information technology and any failure, inadequacy, interruption or security lapse of that technology, including any cybersecurity incidents, could harm our ability to operate our business effectively. We are heavily dependent on critical, complex and interdependent information technology systems, including internet-based systems, to support our business processes. Our information technology system security is continuously reviewed, maintained and upgraded in response to possible security breach incidents. Despite the implementation of these measures, our information technology systems and those of third parties with which we contract are vulnerable to damage from external or internal security incidents, breakdowns, malicious intrusions, cybercrimes, including State-sponsored cybercrimes, malware, misplaced or lost data, programming or human errors or other similar events. System failures, accidents or security breaches could cause interruptions in our operations and could result in inappropriately accessed, tampered with, modified or stolen scientific data or a material disruption of our clinical activities and business operations, in addition to possibly requiring substantial expenditures of resources to remedy. Such event could significantly harm our Oncology/Immunology operations, including resulting in the loss of clinical trial data which could result in delays in our regulatory approval efforts and significantly increase our costs to recover or reproduce the data. Such events could also lead to the loss of important information such as trade secrets or other intellectual property and could accelerate the development or manufacturing of competing products by third parties. To the extent that any disruption or security breach were to result in a loss of, or damage to, our data or applications, or inappropriate disclosure of confidential or proprietary information, we could incur liability and our research and development programs and the development of our drug candidates could be delayed. We have granted, and may continue to grant, options, long-term incentive scheme (“LTIP”) awards and other types of awards under our Option Schemes, our LTIP and the HUTCHMED Holdings Option Schemes, or collectively the Schemes, which may result in increased share-based compensation expenses and give rise to potential employment related disputes. We and HUTCHMED Holdings have adopted the Schemes for the purpose of granting share-based compensation awards to certain management, Directors, employees and other eligible grantees as a means to retain, incentivize, reward, remunerate, compensate and/or provide benefits to eligible grantees. We recognized share-based compensation expenses of $11.6 million, $19.6 million and $42.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively, in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 42 We believe the granting of share-based compensation is of significant importance to our ability to attract and retain key personnel and employees, and we will continue to grant share-based compensation in the future. As a result, our expenses associated with share- based compensation may increase, which may have an adverse effect on our results of operations. We may re-evaluate the vesting schedules, exercise price or other key terms applicable to the grants under our currently effective Schemes from time to time, which may result in a substantial change in our share-based compensation expenses in the reporting periods. In addition, we could in the future become involved in disputes or legal proceedings with our employees or former employees on employment related matters (including disputes on the entitlement of options, awards and other share-based compensation or in connection with the employees’ incentive or compensation arrangements). If such disputes or legal proceedings arise, there can be no assurance that we will prevail in them, and in any event defending against these disputes or legal proceedings could cause us to incur legal and other costs. Any adverse outcome of these disputes or legal proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business and results of operations. For more information on the Schemes, please refer to Item 6.B. “Directors, Senior Management and Employees,” “Compensation,” “Equity Compensation Schemes and Other Benefit Plans.” The PRC’s economic, political and social conditions, as well as governmental policies, could affect the business environment and financial markets in China, our ability to operate our business, our liquidity and our access to capital. Substantially all of our and our joint ventures’ business operations are conducted in China. Accordingly, our results of operations, financial condition and prospects are subject to economic, political and legal developments in China to a significant degree. China’s economy differs from the economies of developed countries in many respects, including with respect to the amount of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange and allocation of resources. While the PRC economy has experienced significant growth in the past 30 years, growth has been uneven across different regions and among various economic sectors of China. The PRC government has implemented various measures to encourage economic development and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures benefit the overall PRC economy, but may have a negative effect on us or our joint ventures. For example, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations that are applicable to us or our joint ventures. More generally, if the business environment in China deteriorates from the perspective of domestic or international investors, our or our joint ventures’ business in China may also be adversely affected. Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system and changes in laws, regulations and policies in China could materially and adversely affect us. We conduct a substantial portion of our business through our subsidiaries and joint ventures in China. PRC laws and regulations govern our and their operations in China. Our subsidiaries and joint ventures are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China, which may not sufficiently cover all of the aspects of our or their economic activities in China. In particular, some laws, particularly with respect to drug price reimbursement, are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published judicial decisions and their non-binding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations are uncertain. Furthermore, recent regulatory reform in the China pharmaceutical industry will limit the number of distributors allowed between a manufacturer and each hospital to one, which may limit the rate of sales growth of Hutchison Sinopharm in future periods. In addition, the implementation of laws and regulations may be in part based on government policies and internal rules that are subject to the interpretation and discretion of different government agencies (some of which are not published on a timely basis or at all) that may have a retroactive effect. As a result, we may not be aware of our, our collaboration partners’ or our joint ventures’ violation of these policies and rules until sometime after the violation. In addition, any litigation in China, regardless of outcome, may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. For further information regarding government regulation in China and other jurisdictions, see Item 4.B. “Business Overview— Regulation—Government Regulation of Pharmaceutical Product Development and Approval—PRC Regulation of Pharmaceutical Product Development and Approval,” “Business Overview—Regulation—Coverage and Reimbursement—PRC Coverage and Reimbursement” and “Business Overview—Regulation—Other Healthcare Laws—Other PRC Healthcare Laws.” 43 Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to receive and use our revenue effectively. Substantially all of our revenue is denominated in renminbi, which currently is not a freely convertible currency. A portion of our revenue may be converted into other currencies to meet our foreign currency obligations, including, among others, payments of dividends declared, if any, in respect of our ordinary shares or ADSs. Under China’s existing foreign exchange regulations, our subsidiaries and joint ventures are able to pay dividends in foreign currencies or convert renminbi into other currencies for use in operations without prior approval from the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or the SAFE, by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, we cannot assure you that the PRC government will not take future measures to restrict access to foreign currencies for current account transactions. Our PRC subsidiaries’ and joint ventures’ ability to obtain foreign exchange is subject to significant foreign exchange controls and, in the case of amounts under the capital account, requires the approval of and/or registration with PRC government authorities, including the SAFE. In particular, if we finance our PRC subsidiaries or joint ventures by means of foreign debt from us or other foreign lenders, the amount is not allowed to exceed either the cross-border financing risk weighted balance calculated based on a formula by the PBOC or the difference between the amount of total investment and the amount of the registered capital. Further, such loans must be filed with and registered with the SAFE or their local branches and the National Development and Reform Commission (if applicable). If we finance our PRC subsidiaries or joint ventures by means of additional capital contributions, the amount of these capital contributions must first be filed with the relevant government approval authority. These limitations could affect the ability of our PRC subsidiaries and joint ventures to obtain foreign exchange through debt or equity financing. Our business benefits from certain PRC government tax incentives. Any changes to, or our PRC subsidiaries/joint ventures failing to continuously meet the criteria for these incentives could have a material adverse effect on our operating results by significantly increasing our tax expenses. Certain of our PRC subsidiaries and a joint venture have been granted High and New Technology Enterprise, or HNTE, status by the relevant PRC authorities. This status allows the relevant enterprise to enjoy a reduced Enterprise Income Tax, or EIT, rate at 15% on its taxable profits. For the duration of its HNTE grant, the relevant PRC enterprise must continue to meet the relevant HNTE criteria or else the 25% standard EIT rate will be applied from the beginning of the calendar year when the enterprise fails to meet the relevant criteria. If the rules for such incentives are amended, it would be uncertain whether any criteria as amended can be met, in which case the higher EIT rate may apply resulting in increased tax burden which will impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. We may be treated as a resident enterprise for PRC Tax purposes under China’s Enterprise Income Tax Law and Implementation Rules, or the EIT Law, and our global income may therefore be subject to PRC income tax. China’s EIT Law defines the term “de facto management bodies” as “bodies that substantially carry out comprehensive management and control on the business operation, employees, accounts and assets of enterprises.” Under the EIT Law, an enterprise incorporated outside of China whose “de facto management bodies” are located in China is considered a “resident enterprise” and will be subject to a uniform 25% EIT rate on its global income. On April 22, 2009, China’s State Administration of Taxation, or the SAT, in the Notice Regarding the Determination of Chinese-Controlled Offshore-Incorporated Enterprises as PRC Tax Resident Enterprises on the Basis of De Facto Management Bodies, or Circular 82, further specified certain criteria for the determination of what constitutes “de facto management bodies.” If all of these criteria are met, the relevant foreign enterprise may be regarded to have its “de facto management bodies” located in China and therefore be considered a resident enterprise in China. These criteria include: (i) the enterprise’s day-to-day operational management is primarily exercised in China; decisions relating to the enterprise’s financial and human resource matters are made or subject to approval by organizations or personnel in China; (ii) the enterprise’s primary assets, accounting books and records, company seals, and board and shareholders’ meeting minutes are located or maintained in China; and (iii) 50% or more of voting board members or senior executives of the enterprise habitually reside in China. Although Circular 82 only applies to foreign enterprises that are majority-owned and controlled by PRC enterprises, not those owned and controlled by foreign enterprises or individuals, the determining criteria set forth in Circular 82 may be adopted by the PRC tax authorities as the test for determining whether the enterprises are PRC tax residents, regardless of whether they are majority-owned and controlled by PRC enterprises. Except for our PRC subsidiaries and joint ventures incorporated in China, we believe that none of our entities incorporated outside of China is a PRC resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes. However, the tax resident status of an enterprise is subject to determination by the PRC tax authorities, and uncertainties remain with respect to the interpretation of the term “de facto management body.” 44 If we are treated as a PRC tax resident, dividends distributed by us to our non-PRC shareholders and ADS holders or any gains realized by non-PRC shareholders and ADS holders from the transfer of our shares or ADSs may be subject to PRC tax. Under the EIT Law, dividends payable by a PRC enterprise to its foreign investor who is a non-PRC resident enterprise, as well as gains on transfers of shares of a PRC enterprise by such a foreign investor will generally be subject to a 10% withholding tax, unless such non-PRC resident enterprise’s jurisdiction of tax residency has an applicable tax treaty with the PRC that provides for an exemption or a reduced rate of withholding tax. If the PRC tax authorities determine that we should be considered a PRC resident enterprise for EIT purposes, any dividends payable by us to our non-PRC resident enterprise shareholders or ADS holders, as well as gains realized by such investors from the transfer of our shares or ADSs may be subject to a 10% withholding tax, unless an exemption or reduced rate is available under an applicable tax treaty. Furthermore, if we are considered a PRC resident enterprise for EIT purposes, it is unclear whether our non-PRC individual shareholders (including our ADS holders) would be subject to any PRC tax on dividends or gains obtained by such non-PRC individual shareholders. If any PRC tax were to apply to dividends or gains realized by non-PRC individuals, it would generally apply at a rate of up to 20% unless a reduced rate is available under an applicable tax treaty. If dividends payable to our non-PRC resident shareholders, or gains from the transfer of our shares or ADSs by such shareholders are subject to PRC tax, the value of your investment in our shares or ADSs may decline significantly. There is uncertainty regarding the PRC withholding tax rate that will be applied to distributions from our PRC subsidiaries and joint ventures to their respective Hong Kong immediate holding companies, which could have a negative impact on our business. The EIT Law provides that a withholding tax at the rate of 10% is applicable to dividends payable by a PRC resident enterprise to investors who are “non-resident enterprises” (i.e., that do not have an establishment or place of business in the PRC or that have such establishment or place of business but the relevant dividend is not effectively connected with the establishment or place of business). However, pursuant to Article 10.2(1), or the Article, of the Arrangement between the Mainland of China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with respect to Taxes on Income, or the Arrangement, withholding tax at a reduced rate of 5% may be applicable to dividends payable by PRC resident enterprises to beneficial owners of the dividends that are Hong Kong tax residents if certain requirements are met. There is uncertainty regarding whether the PRC tax authorities will consider us to be eligible to the reduced tax rate. If the Article is deemed not to apply to dividends payable by our PRC subsidiaries and joint ventures to their respective Hong Kong immediate holding companies that are ultimately owned by us, the withholding tax rate applicable to us will be the statutory rate of 10% instead of 5% which may potentially impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. We may be treated as a resident enterprise for U.K. corporate tax purposes, and our global income may therefore be subject to U.K. corporation tax. U.K. resident companies are taxable in the United Kingdom on their worldwide profits. A company incorporated outside of the United Kingdom would be regarded as a resident if its central management and control resides in the United Kingdom. The place of central management and control generally means the place where the high-level strategic decisions of a company are made. We are an investment holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands and are admitted to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange or the AIM market. Our central management and control resides in Hong Kong, and therefore we believe that we are not a U.K. resident for corporate tax purposes. However, the tax resident status of a non-resident entity could be challenged by the U.K. tax authorities. If the U.K. tax authorities determine that we are a U.K. tax resident, our profits will be subject to U.K. Corporation Tax rate at 19%, subject to the potential availability of certain exemptions related to dividend income and capital gains. This may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. 45 Any failure to comply with PRC regulations regarding our employee equity incentive plans may subject the PRC plan participants or us to fines and other legal or administrative sanctions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In February 2012, the SAFE promulgated the Notices on Issues Concerning the Foreign Exchange Administration for Domestic Individuals Participating in Stock Incentive Plans of Overseas Publicly Listed Companies. Based on this regulation, PRC residents who are granted shares or share options by a company listed on an overseas stock market under its employee share option or share incentive plan are required to register with the SAFE or its local counterparts by following certain procedures. We and our employees who are PRC residents and individual beneficial owners who have been granted shares or share options have been subject to these rules due to our listing on the AIM market, Nasdaq and SEHK. We have registered the option schemes and the share incentive plan and will continue to assist our employees to register their share options or shares. However, any failure of our PRC individual beneficial owners and holders of share options or shares to comply with the SAFE registration requirements in the future may subject them to fines and legal sanctions and may, in rare instances, limit the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to distribute dividends to us. In addition, the SAT has issued circulars concerning employee share options or restricted shares. Under these circulars, employees working in the PRC who exercise share options, or whose restricted shares vest, will be subject to PRC individual income tax. The PRC subsidiaries of an overseas listed company have obligations to file documents related to employee share options or restricted shares with relevant tax authorities and to withhold individual income tax of those employees related to their share options or restricted shares. Although the PRC subsidiaries currently withhold individual income tax from the PRC employees in connection with their exercise of share options, if they fail to report and pay the tax withheld according to relevant laws, rules and regulations, the PRC subsidiaries may face sanctions imposed by the tax authorities or other PRC government authorities. We may be involved in litigation, legal disputes, claims or administrative proceedings which could be costly and time-consuming to resolve. We may become subject, from time to time, to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business or pursuant to governmental or regulatory enforcement activity. Any litigation or proceeding to which we become a party might result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources. Furthermore, any litigation, legal disputes, claims or administrative proceedings which are initially not of material importance may escalate and become important to us due to a variety of factors, such as changes in the facts and circumstances of the cases, the likelihood of loss, the monetary amount at stake and the parties involved. Our insurance might not cover claims brought against us, provide sufficient payments to financially cover all of the costs to resolve such claims or continue to be available on terms acceptable to us. The political relationships between China and other countries may affect our business operations. We conduct our business primarily through our subsidiaries and joint ventures in China, but we also have significant clinical operations in the United States and other foreign jurisdictions. As a result, China’s political relationships with the United States and other jurisdictions may affect our business operations. There can be no assurance that our clinical trial participants or customers will not alter their perception of us or their preferences as a result of adverse changes to the state of political relationships between China and the relevant foreign jurisdictions. Any tensions and political concerns between China and the relevant foreign jurisdictions may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects. 46 Risks Relating to Intellectual Property If we, our joint ventures or our collaboration partners are unable to protect our or their products and drug candidates through intellectual property rights, our competitors may compete directly against us or them. Our success depends, in part, on our, our joint venture partners’ and our collaboration partners’ ability to protect our and our joint ventures’ and our collaboration partners’ products and drug candidates from competition by establishing, maintaining and enforcing our or their intellectual property rights. We, our joint ventures and our collaboration partners seek to protect the products and technology that we and they consider commercially important by filing PRC and international patent applications, relying on trade secrets or pharmaceutical regulatory protection or employing a combination of these methods. As of December 31, 2021, we had 270 issued patents, including 21 Chinese patents, 24 U.S. patents and 14 European patents, 184 patent applications pending in the above major market jurisdictions, and 13 pending Patent Cooperation Treaty, or PCT, patent applications relating to the drug candidates of our Oncology/Immunology operations. For more details, see Item 4.B. “Business Overview—Patents and Other Intellectual Property.” Patents may become invalid and patent applications may not be granted for a number of reasons, including known or unknown prior art, deficiencies in the patent application or the lack of originality of the technology. In addition, the PRC and the United States have adopted the “first-to-file” system under which whoever first files an invention patent application will be awarded the patent. Under the first-to-file system, third parties may be granted a patent relating to a technology which we invented. Furthermore, the terms of patents are finite. The patents we hold and patents to be issued from our currently pending patent applications generally have a twenty-year protection period starting from the date of application. We, our joint ventures and/or our collaboration partners may become involved in patent litigation against third parties to enforce our or their patent rights, to invalidate patents held by such third parties, or to defend against such claims. A court may refuse to stop the other party from using the technology at issue on the grounds that our or our joint ventures’ patents do not cover the third-party technology in question. Further, such third parties could counterclaim that we or our joint ventures infringe their intellectual property or that a patent we, our joint ventures or our collaboration partners have asserted against them is invalid or unenforceable. In patent litigation, defendant counterclaims challenging the validity, enforceability or scope of asserted patents are commonplace. In addition, third parties may initiate legal proceedings against us or our intellectual property to assert such challenges to our intellectual property rights. The outcome of any such proceeding is generally unpredictable. Grounds for a validity challenge could be an alleged failure to meet any of several statutory requirements, including lack of novelty, obviousness or non-enablement. Patents may be unenforceable if someone connected with prosecution of the patent withheld relevant information or made a misleading statement during prosecution. It is possible that prior art of which we, our joint ventures or our collaboration partners and the patent examiner were unaware during prosecution exists, which could render our or their patents invalid. Moreover, it is also possible that prior art may exist that we, our joint ventures or our collaboration partners are aware of but do not believe is relevant to our or their current or future patents, but that could nevertheless be determined to render our patents invalid. The cost to us or our joint ventures of any patent litigation or similar proceeding could be substantial, and it may consume significant management time. We and our joint ventures do not maintain insurance to cover intellectual property infringement. An adverse result in any litigation proceeding could put one or more of our or our joint ventures’ patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly. If a defendant were to prevail on a legal assertion of invalidity or unenforceability of our patents covering one of our or our joint ventures’ products or our drug candidates, we could lose at least part, and perhaps all, of the patent protection covering such product or drug candidate. Competing drugs may also be sold in other countries in which our or our joint ventures’ patent coverage might not exist or be as strong. If we lose a foreign patent lawsuit, alleging our or our joint ventures’ infringement of a competitor’s patents, we could be prevented from marketing our drugs in one or more foreign countries. Any of these outcomes would have a materially adverse effect on our business. 47 Intellectual property and confidentiality legal regimes in China may not afford protection to the same extent as in the United States or other countries. Implementation and enforcement of PRC intellectual property laws may be deficient and ineffective. Policing unauthorized use of proprietary technology is difficult and expensive, and we or our joint ventures may need to resort to litigation to enforce or defend patents issued to us or them or to determine the enforceability, scope and validity of our proprietary rights or those of others. The experience and capabilities of PRC courts in handling intellectual property litigation varies, and outcomes are unpredictable. Further, such litigation may require a significant expenditure of cash and may divert management’s attention from our or our joint ventures’ operations, which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. An adverse determination in any such litigation could materially impair our or our joint ventures’ intellectual property rights and may harm our business, prospects and reputation. Developments in patent law could have a negative impact on our business. From time to time, authorities in the United States, China and other government authorities may change the standards of patentability, and any such changes could have a negative impact on our business. For example, in the United States, the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, or the America Invents Act, which was signed into law in 2011, includes a number of significant changes to U.S. patent law. These changes include a transition from a “first-to-invent” system to a “first-to-file” system, changes to the way issued patents are challenged, and changes to the way patent applications are disputed during the examination process. As a result of these changes, patent law in the United States may favor larger and more established companies that have greater resources to devote to patent application filing and prosecution. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or USPTO, has developed regulations and procedures to govern the full implementation of the America Invents Act, and many of the substantive changes to patent law associated with the America Invents Act, and, in particular, the first-to-file provisions became effective on March 16, 2013. Substantive changes to patent law associated with the America Invents Act, including continually developing case law, may affect our ability to obtain patents, and if obtained, to enforce or defend them. Accordingly, it is not clear what, if any, impact the America Invents Act will have on the cost of prosecuting our or our joint ventures’ patent applications and our or their ability to obtain patents based on our or our joint ventures’ discoveries and to enforce or defend any patents that may issue from our or their patent applications, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. If we are unable to maintain the confidentiality of our and our joint ventures’ trade secrets, the business and competitive position of ourselves and our joint ventures may be harmed. In addition to the protection afforded by patents and the PRC’s State Secret certification, we and our joint ventures rely upon unpatented trade secret protection, unpatented know-how and continuing technological innovation to develop and maintain our competitive position. We seek to protect our and our joint ventures’ proprietary technology and processes, in part, by entering into confidentiality agreements with our and their collaborators, scientific advisors, employees and consultants, and invention assignment agreements with our and their consultants and employees. We and our joint ventures may not be able to prevent the unauthorized disclosure or use of our or their technical know-how or other trade secrets by the parties to these agreements, however, despite the existence generally of confidentiality agreements and other contractual restrictions. If any of the collaborators, scientific advisors, employees and consultants who are parties to these agreements breaches or violates the terms of any of these agreements, we and our joint ventures may not have adequate remedies for any such breach or violation, and we could lose our trade secrets as a result. Enforcing a claim that a third-party illegally obtained and is using our or our joint ventures’ trade secrets, like patent litigation, is expensive and time consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In addition, courts in China and other jurisdictions outside the United States are sometimes less prepared or willing to protect trade secrets. Our and our joint ventures’ trade secrets could otherwise become known or be independently discovered by our or their competitors. For example, competitors could purchase our drugs and attempt to replicate some or all of the competitive advantages we derive from our development efforts, willfully infringe our intellectual property rights, design around our protected technology or develop their own competitive technologies that fall outside of our intellectual property rights. If any of our or our joint ventures’ trade secrets were to be lawfully obtained or independently developed by a competitor, we and our joint ventures would have no right to prevent them, or others to whom they communicate it, from using that technology or information to compete against us or our joint ventures. If our or our joint ventures’ trade secrets are unable to adequately protect our business against competitors’ drugs, our competitive position could be adversely affected, as could our business. 48 We and our joint ventures are dependent on trademark and other intellectual property rights licensed from others. If we lose our licenses for any of our products, we or our joint ventures may not be able to continue developing such products or may be required to change the way we market such products. We and our joint ventures are parties to licenses that give us or them rights to third-party intellectual property that are necessary or useful for our or our joint ventures’ businesses. In particular, the “Hutchison,” “Chi-Med”, “Hutchison China MediTech” and “HUTCHMED” brands, among others, have been licensed to us by Hutchison Whampoa Enterprises Limited, an affiliate of our largest shareholder, Hutchison Healthcare Holdings Limited. Hutchison Whampoa Enterprises Limited grants us a royalty-free, worldwide license to such brands. For more details, please see “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions—Related Party Transactions—Relationship with CK Hutchison—Intellectual property licensed by the CK Hutchison group.” Under the terms of our brand license agreement, Hutchison Whampoa Enterprises Limited has the right to terminate the license if, among other things, we commit a material breach of the agreement, or within any twelve-month period the aggregate direct or indirect shareholding in our company held by CK Hutchison is reduced to less than 35%, 30% or 20%. Furthermore, the trademarks of Elunate and Orpathys are licensed to us in China by our collaboration partner Eli Lilly and AstraZeneca, respectively. In some cases, our licensors have retained the right to prosecute and defend intellectual property rights licensed to us or our joint ventures. We depend in part on the ability of our licensors to obtain, maintain and enforce intellectual property protection for such licensed intellectual property. Such licensors may not successfully maintain their intellectual property, may determine not to pursue litigation against other companies that are infringing on such intellectual property, or may pursue litigation less aggressively than we or our joint ventures would. Without protection for the intellectual property we or our joint ventures license, other companies might be able to offer substantially identical products or branding, which could adversely affect our competitive business position and harm our business prospects. If our or our joint ventures’ products or drug candidates infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties, we and they may incur substantial liabilities, and we and they may be unable to sell these products. Our commercial success depends significantly on our and our joint ventures’ ability to operate without infringing the patents and other proprietary rights of third parties. In the PRC, invention patent applications are generally maintained in confidence until their publication 18 months from the filing date. The publication of discoveries in the scientific or patent literature frequently occurs substantially later than the date on which the underlying discoveries were made and invention patent applications are filed. Even after reasonable investigation, we may not know with certainty whether any third-party may have filed a patent application without our knowledge while we or our joint ventures are still developing or producing that product. While the success of pending patent applications and applicability of any of them to our or our joint ventures’ programs are uncertain, if asserted against us or them, we could incur substantial costs and we or they may have to:    obtain licenses, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all; redesign products or processes to avoid infringement; and stop producing products using the patents held by others, which could cause us or them to lose the use of one or more of our or their products. To date, we and our joint ventures have not received any material claims of infringement by any third parties. If a third-party claims that we or our joint ventures infringe its proprietary rights, any of the following may occur:  we or our joint ventures may have to defend litigation or administrative proceedings that may be costly whether we or they win or lose, and which could result in a substantial diversion of management resources;  we or our joint ventures may become liable for substantial damages for past infringement if a court decides that our technology infringes a third-party’s intellectual property rights;  a court may prohibit us or our joint ventures from producing and selling our or their product(s) without a license from the holder of the intellectual property rights, which may not be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all; and 49  we or our joint ventures may have to reformulate product(s) so that it does not infringe the intellectual property rights of others, which may not be possible or could be very expensive and time consuming. Any costs incurred in connection with such events or the inability to sell our or our joint ventures’ products may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. We, our joint ventures and our collaboration partners may not be able to effectively enforce our intellectual property rights throughout the world. Filing, prosecuting and defending patents on our or our joint venture’s products or drug candidates in all countries throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive. The requirements for patentability may differ in certain countries, particularly in developing countries. Moreover, our, our joint ventures’ or our collaboration partners’ ability to protect and enforce our or their intellectual property rights may be adversely affected by unforeseen changes in foreign intellectual property laws. Additionally, the patent laws of some foreign countries do not afford intellectual property protection to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending intellectual property rights in certain foreign jurisdictions. The legal systems of some countries, particularly developing countries, may not favor the enforcement of patents and other intellectual property rights. This could make it difficult for us or our joint ventures to stop the infringement of our or their patents or the misappropriation of our or their other intellectual property rights. For example, many foreign countries have compulsory licensing laws under which a patent owner must grant licenses to third parties. Consequently, we may not be able to prevent third parties from practicing our or our joint ventures’ inventions throughout the world. Competitors may use our or our joint ventures’ technologies in jurisdictions where we or they have not obtained patent protection to develop their own drugs and, further, may export otherwise infringing drugs to territories where we or our joint ventures have patent protection, if our, our joint ventures’ or our collaboration partners’ ability to enforce our or their patents to stop infringing activities is inadequate. These drugs may compete with our drug candidates, and our patents or other intellectual property rights may not be effective or sufficient to prevent them from competing. Proceedings to enforce our or our joint ventures’ patent rights in foreign jurisdictions, whether or not successful, could result in substantial costs and divert our or their efforts and resources from other aspects of our and their businesses. While we intend to protect our intellectual property rights in the major markets for our drug candidates, we cannot ensure that we will be able to initiate or maintain similar efforts in all jurisdictions in which we may wish to market our drug candidates. Furthermore, as AstraZeneca is responsible for enforcing our intellectual property rights with respect to savolitinib on our behalf, we may be unable to ensure that such rights are enforced or maintained in all jurisdictions. Accordingly, our efforts to protect the intellectual property rights of our drug candidates in such countries may be inadequate. We and our joint ventures may be subject to damages resulting from claims that we or they, or our or their employees, have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of competitors or are in breach of non-competition or non-solicitation agreements with competitors. We and our joint ventures could in the future be subject to claims that we or they, or our or their employees, have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed alleged trade secrets or other proprietary information of former employers or competitors. Although we try to ensure that our and our joint ventures’ employees and consultants do not improperly use the intellectual property, proprietary information, know-how or trade secrets of others in their work for us or our joint ventures, we or our joint ventures may in the future be subject to claims that we or they caused an employee to breach the terms of his or her non-competition or non-solicitation agreement, or that we, our joint ventures, or these individuals have, inadvertently or otherwise, used or disclosed the alleged trade secrets or other proprietary information of a former employer or competitor. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims. Even if we and our joint ventures are successful in defending against these claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and could be a distraction to management. If our or our joint ventures’ defenses to these claims fail, in addition to requiring us and them to pay monetary damages, a court could prohibit us or our joint ventures from using technologies or features that are essential to our or their products or our drug candidates, if such technologies or features are found to incorporate or be derived from the trade secrets or other proprietary information of the former employers. An inability to incorporate such technologies or features would have a material adverse effect on our business, and may prevent us from successfully commercializing our drug candidates. In addition, we or our joint ventures may lose valuable intellectual property rights or personnel as a result of such claims. Moreover, any such litigation or the threat thereof may adversely affect our or our joint ventures’ ability to hire employees or contract with independent sales representatives. A loss of key personnel or their work product could hamper or prevent our ability to commercialize our drug candidates, which would have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. 50 Patent terms may be inadequate to protect the competitive position of our drug candidates for an adequate amount of time, and the absence of patent linkage, patent term extension and data and market exclusivity for NMPA-approved pharmaceutical products could increase the risk of early generic competition for our drug candidates in China. In the United States, the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984, generally referred to as the Hatch- Waxman Amendments, and similar legislation in the E.U. and certain other countries, provides the opportunity for limited patent term extension. The Hatch-Waxman Amendments permit a patent-term extension of up to five years to reflect patent term lost during certain portions of product development and the FDA regulatory review process. However, a patent term extension cannot extend the remaining term of a patent beyond a total of 14 years from the date of drug approval; only one patent may be extended and only those claims covering the approved drug, a method for using it, or a method for manufacturing it may be extended. The application for the extension must be submitted prior to the expiration of the patent for which extension is sought. A patent that covers multiple products for which approval is sought can only be extended in connection with one of the approvals. Depending upon the timing, duration and specifics of any FDA marketing approval process for any drug candidates we may develop, one or more of our U.S. patents may be eligible for limited patent term extension under the Hatch-Waxman Amendments. However, we may not be granted an extension because of, for example, failing to exercise due diligence during the testing phase or regulatory review process, failing to apply within applicable deadlines, failing to apply prior to expiration of relevant patents, or otherwise failing to satisfy applicable requirements. Moreover, the applicable period or the scope of patent protection afforded could be less than we request. In addition, to the extent we wish to pursue patent term extension based on a patent that we in-license from a third party, we would need the cooperation of that third party. If we fail to obtain patent term extensions or if the term of any such extension is less than we request, our competitors may obtain approval of competing products following our patent expiration, and thus our revenue could be reduced. Further, if this occurs, our competitors may take advantage of our investment in development and trials by referencing our clinical and pre-clinical data and launch their product earlier than might otherwise be expected, and our competitive position, business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially adversely affected. The Hatch-Waxman Amendments also include a process for patent linkage, pursuant to which the FDA will stay approval of certain follow-on applications during the pendency of litigation between the follow-on applicant and the patent holder or licensee, generally for a period of 30 months. Moreover, the Hatch-Waxman Amendments provide for statutory exclusivities that can prevent submission or approval of certain follow-on marketing applications. For example, federal law provides a five-year period of exclusivity within the United States to the first applicant to obtain approval of a new chemical entity and three years of exclusivity protecting certain innovations to previously approved active ingredients where the applicant was required to conduct new clinical investigations to obtain approval for the modification. Similarly, the U.S. Orphan Drug Act provides seven years of market exclusivity for certain drugs to treat rare diseases, where the FDA designates the drug candidate as an orphan drug and the drug is approved for the designated orphan indication. See “Risks Relating to Our Oncology/Immunology Operations and Development of Our Drug Candidates—Although we have obtained orphan drug designation for surufatinib for the treatment of pancreatic NETs in the United States, we may not be able to obtain or maintain the benefits associated with orphan drug status, including market exclusivity.” Chinese regulators have set forth a framework for integrating patent linkage and data exclusivity into the China regulatory regime, as well as for establishing a pilot program for patent term extension. To be implemented, this framework will require adoption of regulations. On October 17, 2020, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress published the Patent Law of PRC (Amended in 2020), which came into effect on June 1, 2021, or the Amended Patent Law. The Amended Patent Law provides that, among other things, the owner of the patent for an innovative new drug that has been granted the marketing authorization in China is entitled to request the Patent Administration Department under the State Council to grant a patent term extension of up to five years, in order to compensate the time required for the regulatory approval for the commercialization of such innovative new drug, provided that the patent term of such innovative new drug shall not exceed a total of 14 years. Furthermore, the PRC government entered into the Economic and Trade Agreement Between the Government of the People’s Republic of China and the Government of the United States of America with the U.S. government in January 2020 which provides that the owner of the patent for an innovative new drug that has been granted the marketing authorization in China is entitled to request a patent term extension of up to five years, provided that the patent term of such innovative new drug shall not exceed a total of 14 years from the date of marketing approval in China. If we are unable to obtain patent term extension, or the term of any such extension is less than that we request, our competitors or other third parties may obtain approval of competing products following our patent expiration. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. 51 Risks Relating to Our ADSs The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB, is currently unable to inspect our auditor in relation to their audit work performed for our financial statements and the inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections over our auditor deprives our investors with the benefits of such inspections. Our auditor, the independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit report included elsewhere in this annual report, as an auditor of companies that are traded publicly in the United States and a firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB, is subject to laws in the United States pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess its compliance with the applicable professional standards. Since our auditor is located in China, a jurisdiction where the PCAOB has been unable to conduct inspections without the approval of the Chinese authorities, our auditor is not currently inspected by the PCAOB. This lack of the PCAOB inspections in China prevents the PCAOB from fully evaluating audits and quality control procedures of our independent registered public accounting firm. As a result, we and investors in our ordinary shares are deprived of the benefits of such PCAOB inspections. The inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections of auditors in China makes it more difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of our independent registered public accounting firm’s audit procedures or quality control procedures as compared to auditors outside of China that are subject to the PCAOB inspections, which could cause investors and potential investors in our stock to lose confidence in our audit procedures and reported financial information and the quality of our financial statements. Our ADSs may be delisted and our ADSs and shares prohibited from trading in the over-the-counter market under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCAA, if the PCAOB is unable to inspect or fully investigate auditors located in China. On December 16, 2021, PCAOB issued the HFCAA Determination Report, according to which our auditor is subject to the determinations that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely. Under the current law, delisting and prohibition from over-the-counter trading in the U.S. could take place in 2024. If this happens there is no certainty that we will be able to list our ADS or shares on a non-U.S. exchange or that a market for our shares will develop outside of the U.S. The delisting of our ADSs, or the threat of their being delisted, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment. As part of a continued regulatory focus in the United States on access to audit and other information currently protected by national law, in particular China’s, the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCAA has been signed into law on December 18, 2020. The HFCAA states if the SEC determines that we have filed audit reports issued by a registered public accounting firm that has not been subject to inspection for the PCAOB for three consecutive years beginning in 2021, the SEC shall prohibit our shares or ADS from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter trading market in the U.S. Accordingly, under the current law this could happen in 2024. 52 On December 2, 2021, the SEC adopted final amendments to its rules implementing the HFCAA (the “Final Amendments”). The Final Amendments include requirements to disclose information, including the auditor name and location, the percentage of shares of the issuer owned by governmental entities, whether governmental entities in the applicable foreign jurisdiction with respect to the auditor has a controlling financial interest with respect to the issuer, the name of each official of the Chinese Communist Party who is a member of the board of the issuer, and whether the articles of incorporation of the issuer contains any charter of the Chinese Communist Party. The Final Amendments also establish procedures the SEC will follow in identifying issuers and prohibiting trading by certain issuers under the HFCAA. On December 16, 2021, PCAOB issued the HFCAA Determination Report, according to which our auditor is subject to the determinations that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely. The HFCAA or other efforts to increase U.S. regulatory access to audit information could cause investor uncertainty for affected issuers, including us, and the market price of the ADSs could be adversely affected. Additionally, whether the PCAOB will be able to conduct inspections of our auditor before the issuance of our financial statements on Form 20-F for the year ending December 31, 2023 which is due by April 30, 2024, or at all, is subject to substantial uncertainty and depends on a number of factors out of our control. If we are unable to meet the PCAOB inspection requirement in time, we could be delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Market and our ADSs will not be permitted for trading “over-the-counter” either. Such a delisting would substantially impair your ability to sell or purchase our ADSs when you wish to do so, and the risk and uncertainty associated with delisting would have a negative impact on the price of our ADSs. Also, such a delisting would significantly affect our ability to raise capital on terms acceptable to us, or at all, which would have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and prospects. The potential enactment of the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act would decrease the number of non- inspection years from three years to two, thus reducing the time period before our ADSs may be prohibited from over-the-counter trading or delisted. If this bill were enacted, our ADS could be delisted from the exchange and prohibited from over-the-counter trading in the United States. in 2023. On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed a bill known as the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCAA, to amend Section 104(i) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (15 U.S.C. 7214(i)) to prohibit securities of any registrant from being listed on any of the U.S. securities exchanges or traded over-the-counter if the auditor of the registrant’s financial statements is not subject to PCAOB inspection for two consecutive years, instead of three consecutive years as currently enacted in the HFCAA. On February 4, 2022, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the America Competes Act of 2022 which includes the exact same amendments as the bill passed by the Senate. The America Competes Act however includes a broader range of legislation not related to the HFCAA in response to the U.S. Innovation and Competition Act passed by the Senate in 2021. The U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate will need to agree on amendments to these respective bills to align the legislation and pass their amended bills before the president of the United States can sign into law. It is unclear when the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives will resolve the differences in the U.S. Innovation and Competition Act and the America Competes Act of 2022 bills currently passed, or when the U.S. President will sign on the bill to make the amendment into law, or at all. In the case that the bill becomes the law, it will reduce the time period before our ADSs could be delisted from the exchange and prohibited from over-the-counter trading in the U.S. from 2024 to 2023. The listings of our shares in multiple venues may adversely affect the liquidity and value of them. Our ADSs continue to be listed on Nasdaq, and our shares continue to be admitted to trading on the AIM. Our shares were listed on the SEHK in June 2021. The listing of the shares on the AIM and the SEHK, and the ADSs on Nasdaq, may reduce the liquidity of these securities in one or each of these markets and may adversely affect the development of an active trading market for the shares in each of these markets. The price of the shares could also be adversely affected by trading on Nasdaq. Similarly, the price of the ADSs could also be adversely affected by trading on the AIM and the SEHK. We may also seek further listings on other stock exchanges such as the Shanghai Stock Exchange, which could further affect the liquidity and value of the shares and the ADSs. Furthermore, the shares trade on the SEHK largely in electronic book-entry form. However, the ADSs are backed by physical ordinary share certificates, and the depositary for our ADS program is unable to accept book-entry interests into its custody in order to issue ADSs. As a result, if a holder of the shares wishes to deposit the shares into the ADS program and hold ADSs for trading on Nasdaq or vice versa, the issuance and cancellation process may be longer than if the depositary could accept such book-entry interests. 53 Our largest shareholder owns a significant percentage of our ordinary shares, which may limit the ability of other shareholders to influence corporate matters. As of March 1, 2022, Hutchison Healthcare Holdings Limited owned approximately 38.46% of our ordinary shares. Accordingly, Hutchison Healthcare Holdings Limited can influence the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to shareholders for approval and the interests of Hutchison Healthcare Holdings Limited may differ from the interests of our other shareholders. Under our Articles of Association, certain matters, such as amendments to our amended and restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, require the approval of not less than three-fourths of votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled so to do, vote in person (or, in the case of such shareholders as are corporations, by their respective duly authorized representative) or by proxy. Therefore, Hutchison Healthcare Holdings Limited’s approval will be required to achieve any such threshold. In addition, Hutchison Healthcare Holdings Limited has and will continue to have a significant influence over the management and the strategic direction of our company. Substantial future sales or perceived potential sales of our ADSs, ordinary shares or other equity or equity-linked securities in the public market could cause the price of our ADSs to decline significantly. Sales of our ADSs, ordinary shares or other equity or equity-linked securities in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could cause the market price of our ADSs to decline significantly. All of our ordinary shares represented by ADSs are freely transferable by persons other than our affiliates without restriction or additional registration under the Securities Act of 1933, or the Securities Act. The ordinary shares held by our affiliates are also available for sale, subject to volume and other restrictions as applicable under Rules 144 and 701 under the Securities Act, under sales plans adopted pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 or otherwise. We have filed with the SEC registration statements on Form F-3, commonly referred to as a “shelf registration,” that permit us to sell any number of ADSs in a registered offering at our discretion. We have completed registered offerings raising aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $537.9 million under such shelf registration statements. Furthermore, our largest shareholder has completed registered secondary offerings raising aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $310.4 million for it as a selling shareholder under a shelf registration statement. In addition, we completed our initial public offering in Hong Kong and global offering of our ordinary shares in 2021, raising aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $614.9 million, including $80.2 million through the fulfillment of the over-allotment. We may decide to conduct future offerings from time to time, and such sales could cause the price of our ADSs to decline significantly. In connection with the issuance of ordinary shares in private placements in 2020 and 2021, we agreed to provide three shareholders Form F-3 registration rights. Registration of the ordinary shares held by such shareholders may result in these shares becoming freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act immediately upon the effectiveness of the registration. Sales of these shares, or the perception that such sales could occur, could cause the price of our ADSs to decline. In addition, any changes in the investment strategies or philosophies of our major shareholders may lead to the sale of our ADSs and other securities, which could cause the price of our ADSs to decline. We may be at a risk of securities litigation. Historically, securities litigation, particularly class action lawsuits brought in the United States, have often been brought against a company following a decline in the market price of its securities. This risk is especially relevant for us because biotechnology and biopharmaceutical companies have experienced significant share price volatility in recent years. If we were to be sued, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could harm our business. If securities analysts do not publish research or reports about our business or if they publish negative evaluations of our business, the price of our ADSs could decline. The trading market for our ADSs will rely in part on the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about us or our business. We may not be able to maintain continuous research coverage by industry or financial analysts. If one or more of the analysts covering our business downgrade their evaluations of our stock, the price of our stock could decline. If one or more of these analysts cease to cover our stock, we could lose visibility in the market for our stock, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline. 54 As a foreign private issuer, we are not subject to certain U.S. securities law disclosure requirements that apply to a domestic U.S. issuer, which may limit the information publicly available to our shareholders. As a foreign private issuer we are not required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and therefore there may be less publicly available information about us than if we were a U.S. domestic issuer. For example, we are not subject to the proxy rules in the United States, and disclosure with respect to our annual general meetings will be governed by the AIM Rules for Companies, or the AIM Rules, listing rules in Hong Kong and Cayman Islands requirements. In addition, our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder. Therefore, our shareholders may not know on a timely basis when our officers, directors and principal shareholders purchase or sell our ordinary shares or ADSs. As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ significantly from Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards. These practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if we complied fully with corporate governance listing standards. As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to take advantage of certain provisions in the Nasdaq listing rules that allow us to follow Cayman Islands law for certain governance matters. Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands may differ significantly from corporate governance listing standards as, except for general fiduciary duties and duties of care, Cayman Islands law has no corporate governance regime which prescribes specific corporate governance standards. We intend to continue to follow Cayman Islands corporate governance practices in lieu of the corporate governance requirements of the Nasdaq Global Select Market in respect of the following: (i) the majority independent director requirement under Section 5605(b)(1) of the Nasdaq listing rules, (ii) the requirement under Section 5605(d) of the Nasdaq listing rules that a remuneration committee comprised solely of independent directors governed by a remuneration committee charter oversee executive compensation and (iii) the requirement under Section 5605(e) of the Nasdaq listing rules that director nominees be selected or recommended for selection by either a majority of the independent directors or a nominations committee comprised solely of independent directors. Cayman Islands law does not impose a requirement that our board of directors consist of a majority of independent directors, nor does Cayman Islands law impose specific requirements on the establishment of a remuneration committee or nominating committee or nominating process. Therefore, our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would have under corporate governance listing standards applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. We have voluntarily complied with the Corporate Governance Code contained in Appendix 14 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on SEHK. See Item 6.C. “Board Practice—Hong Kong Corporate Governance Code” for more details. We may in the future lose our foreign private issuer status under U.S. securities laws, which could result in significant additional costs and expenses. We are a foreign private issuer as defined in the Securities Act, and therefore, we are not required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. The determination of foreign private issuer status is made annually on the last business day of an issuer’s most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and, accordingly, the next determination will be made with respect to us on June 30, 2022. We would lose our foreign private issuer status if, for example, more than 50% of our ordinary shares are directly or indirectly held by residents of the United States on June 30, 2022 and we fail to meet additional requirements necessary to maintain our foreign private issuer status. If we lose our foreign private issuer status on this date, we will be required to file with the SEC periodic reports and registration statements on U.S. domestic issuer forms beginning on January 1, 2023, which are more detailed and extensive than the forms available to a foreign private issuer. We will also have to mandatorily comply with U.S. federal proxy requirements, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders will become subject to the short-swing profit disclosure and recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we will lose our ability to rely upon exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements under the Nasdaq listing rules. As a U.S.-listed public company, should we lose our foreign private issuer status, we will incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses that we would not incur as a foreign private issuer. Fluctuations in the value of the renminbi may have a material adverse effect on your investment. The value of the renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other currencies fluctuates and is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s and international political and economic conditions and the PRC government’s fiscal and currency policies. Since 1994, the conversion of renminbi into foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars, has been based on rates set by the PBOC, which are set daily based on the previous business day’s inter-bank foreign exchange market rates and current exchange rates on the world financial markets. It is expected that China may further reform its exchange rate system in the future. 55 Significant revaluation of the renminbi may have a material adverse effect on your investment. For example, to the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars into renminbi for our operations, appreciation of the renminbi against the U.S. dollar would have an adverse effect on the renminbi amount we would receive from the conversion. Conversely, if we decide to convert our renminbi into U.S. dollars, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the renminbi would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us. Appreciation or depreciation in the value of the renminbi relative to the U.S. dollar would affect our financial results reported in U.S. dollar terms regardless of any underlying change in our business or results of operations. In addition, our operating transactions and assets and liabilities in the PRC are mainly denominated in renminbi. Such amounts are translated into U.S. dollars for purpose of preparing our consolidated financial statements, with translation adjustments reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) in shareholders’ equity. We recorded a foreign currency translation loss of $4.3 million, a foreign currency translation gain of $9.5 million and a foreign currency translation gain of $3.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. Very limited hedging options are available in China to reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. To date, we have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. While we may decide to enter into hedging transactions in the future, the availability and effectiveness of these hedges may be limited and we may not be able to adequately hedge our exposure or at all. In addition, our currency exchange losses may be magnified by PRC exchange control regulations that restrict our ability to convert renminbi into foreign currency. We do not currently intend to pay dividends on our securities, and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of the ADSs. We have never declared or paid any dividends on our ordinary shares. We currently intend to invest our future earnings, if any, to fund our growth. Therefore, you are not likely to receive any dividends on your ADSs at least in the near term, and the success of an investment in ADSs will depend upon any future appreciation in its value. Consequently, investors may need to sell all or part of their holdings of ADSs after price appreciation, which may never occur, to realize any future gains on their investment. There is no guarantee that the ADSs will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which our shareholders have purchased the ADSs. The trading prices for our ADSs may be volatile which could result in substantial losses to you. The market price of our ADSs has been volatile. From March 17, 2016 to March 1, 2022, the closing sale price of our ADSs ranged from a high of $43.94 to a low of $11.26 per ADS. The market price for our ADSs is likely to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors, including the following:         announcements of competitive developments; regulatory developments affecting us, our customers or our competitors; announcements regarding litigation or administrative proceedings involving us; actual or anticipated fluctuations in our period-to-period operating results; changes in financial estimates by securities research analysts; additions or departures of our executive officers; release or expiry of lock-up or other transfer restrictions on our outstanding ordinary shares or ADSs; and sales or perceived sales of additional ordinary shares or ADSs. In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to the operating performance of particular companies. Prolonged global capital markets volatility may affect overall investor sentiment towards our ADSs, which would also negatively affect the trading prices for our ADSs. 56 The triple listing of our ordinary shares and the ADSs may adversely affect the liquidity and value of the ADSs. Our ordinary shares are listed on the AIM market and on the SEHK. The triple listing of our ordinary shares and the ADSs may dilute the liquidity of these securities in one or more of these markets and may adversely affect the development of an active trading market for the ADSs in the United States or shares in Hong Kong and the United Kingdom. The price of the ADSs could also be adversely affected by trading in our ordinary shares on the AIM market and the SEHK. Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar, Hong Kong dollar and the pound sterling may increase the risk of holding the ADSs. Our share price is quoted on the SEHK and AIM market in Hong Kong dollar and pence sterling, respectively, while the ADSs trade on Nasdaq in U.S. dollars. Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar, Hong Kong dollar and the pound sterling may result in temporary differences between the value of the ADSs and the value of our ordinary shares, which may result in heavy trading by investors seeking to exploit such differences. In addition, as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar, Hong Kong dollar and the pound sterling, the U.S. dollar equivalent of the proceeds that a holder of the ADSs would receive upon the sale in Hong Kong of any ordinary shares or in the United Kingdom of any ordinary shares withdrawn from the depositary and the dollar equivalent of any cash dividends paid in Hong Kong dollar or pound sterling on our shares represented by the ADSs could also decline. Securities traded on the AIM market or on the SEHK may carry or be perceived to carry a higher risk than shares traded on other exchanges and may impact the value of your investment. Our ordinary shares are currently traded on the AIM market and on the SEHK. Investment in equities traded on AIM and the SEHK may be perceived by some to carry a higher risk than an investment in equities quoted on exchanges, such as the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq. You should be aware that the value of our ordinary shares may be influenced by many factors, some of which may be specific to us and some of which may affect AIM-listed or Hong Kong-listed companies generally, including the depth and liquidity of the market, our performance, a large or small volume of trading in our ordinary shares, legislative changes and general economic, political or regulatory conditions, and that the prices may be volatile and subject to extensive fluctuations. Therefore, the market price of our ordinary shares underlying the ADSs may not reflect the underlying value of our company. The depositary for our ADSs gives us a discretionary proxy to vote our ordinary shares underlying your ADSs if you do not vote at shareholders’ meetings, except in limited circumstances, which could adversely affect your interests. Under the deposit agreement for the ADSs, the depositary gives us a discretionary proxy to vote our ordinary shares underlying your ADSs at shareholders’ meetings if you do not vote, unless:  we do not wish a discretionary proxy to be given;  we are aware or should reasonably be aware that there is substantial opposition as to a matter to be voted on at the meeting; or  a matter to be voted on at the meeting would materially and adversely affect the rights of shareholders. The effect of this discretionary proxy is that you cannot prevent our ordinary shares underlying your ADSs from being voted, absent the situations described above, and it may make it more difficult for shareholders to influence the management of our company. Holders of our ordinary shares are not subject to this discretionary proxy. 57 Holders of ADSs have fewer rights than shareholders and must act through the depositary to exercise their rights. Holders of our ADSs do not have the same rights as our shareholders and may only exercise the voting rights with respect to the underlying ordinary shares in accordance with the provisions of the deposit agreement. Under our amended and restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, an annual general meeting shall be called by notice with not less than 21 clear days, and all other general meetings (including an extraordinary general meeting) shall be called by notice with not less than 14 clear days. When a general meeting is convened, you may not receive sufficient notice of a shareholders’ meeting to permit you to withdraw the ordinary shares underlying your ADSs to allow you to vote with respect to any specific matter. If we ask for your instructions, we will give the depositary notice of any such meeting and details concerning the matters to be voted upon at least 30 days in advance of the meeting date and the depositary will send a notice to you about the upcoming vote and will arrange to deliver our voting materials to you. The depositary and its agents, however, may not be able to send voting instructions to you or carry out your voting instructions in a timely manner. We will make all reasonable efforts to cause the depositary to extend voting rights to you in a timely manner, but we cannot assure you that you will receive the voting materials in time to ensure that you can instruct the depositary to vote the ordinary shares underlying your ADSs. Furthermore, the depositary will not be liable for any failure to carry out any instructions to vote, for the manner in which any vote is cast or for the effect of any such vote. As a result, you may not be able to exercise your right to vote and you may lack recourse if your ADSs are not voted as you request. In addition, in your capacity as an ADS holder, you will not be able to call a shareholders’ meeting. You may not receive distributions on our ADSs or any value for them if such distribution is illegal or if any required government approval cannot be obtained in order to make such distribution available to you. Although we do not have any present plan to pay any dividends, the depositary of our ADSs has agreed to pay to you the cash dividends or other distributions it or the custodian receives on ordinary shares or other deposited securities underlying our ADSs, after deducting its fees and expenses and any applicable taxes and governmental charges. You will receive these distributions in proportion to the number of ordinary shares your ADSs represent. However, the depositary is not responsible if it decides that it is unlawful or impractical to make a distribution available to any holders of ADSs. For example, it would be unlawful to make a distribution to a holder of ADSs if it consists of securities whose offering would require registration under the Securities Act but is not so properly registered or distributed under an applicable exemption from registration. The depositary may also determine that it is not reasonably practicable to distribute certain property. In these cases, the depositary may determine not to distribute such property. We have no obligation to register under the U.S. securities laws any offering of ADSs, ordinary shares, rights or other securities received through such distributions. We also have no obligation to take any other action to permit the distribution of ADSs, ordinary shares, rights or anything else to holders of ADSs. This means that you may not receive distributions we make on our ordinary shares or any value for them if it is illegal or impractical for us to make them available to you. These restrictions may cause a material decline in the value of our ADSs. Your right to participate in any future rights offerings may be limited, which may cause dilution to your holdings. We may from time to time distribute rights to our shareholders, including rights to acquire our securities. However, we cannot make rights available to you in the United States unless we register the rights and the securities to which the rights relate under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements is available. Also, under the deposit agreement, the depositary bank will not make rights available to you unless either both the rights and any related securities are registered under the Securities Act, or the distribution of them to ADS holders is exempted from registration under the Securities Act. We are under no obligation to file a registration statement with respect to any such rights or securities or to endeavor to cause such a registration statement to be declared effective. Moreover, we may not be able to establish an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. If the depositary does not distribute the rights, it may, under the deposit agreement, either sell them, if possible, or allow them to lapse. Accordingly, you may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and may experience dilution in your holdings. 58 If we are classified as a passive foreign investment company, U.S. investors could be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences. The rules governing passive foreign investment companies, or PFICs, can have adverse effects for U.S. investors for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The tests for determining PFIC status for a taxable year depend upon the relative values of certain categories of assets and the relative amounts of certain kinds of income. As discussed in “Taxation—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” we do not believe that we are currently a PFIC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the determination of whether we are a PFIC depends on particular facts and circumstances (such as the valuation of our assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets) and may also be affected by the application of the PFIC rules, which are subject to differing interpretations. The fair market value of our assets is expected to depend, in part, upon (1) the market price of our ordinary shares and ADSs and (2) the composition of our income and assets, which will be affected by how, and how quickly, we spend any cash that is raised in any financing transaction. In light of the foregoing, no assurance can be provided that we are not currently a PFIC or that we will not become a PFIC in any future taxable year. Furthermore, if we are treated as a PFIC, then one or more of our subsidiaries may also be treated as PFICs. If we are or become a PFIC, and, if so, if one or more of our subsidiaries are treated as PFICs, U.S. holders of our ordinary shares and ADSs would be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences, such as ineligibility for any preferential tax rates on capital gains or on actual or deemed dividends, interest charges on certain taxes treated as deferred, and additional reporting requirements under U.S. federal income tax laws and regulations. Whether U.S. holders of our ordinary shares or ADSs make (or are eligible to make) a timely qualified electing fund, or QEF, election or a mark-to-market election may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. holders with respect to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares and ADSs and any distributions such U.S. holders may receive. We do not, however, expect to provide the information regarding our income that would be necessary in order for a U.S. holder to make a QEF election if we are classified as a PFIC. Investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding all aspects of the application of the PFIC rules to our ordinary shares and ADSs. You may have difficulty enforcing judgments obtained against us. We are a company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and substantially all of our assets are located outside the United States. Substantially all of our current operations are conducted in the PRC. In addition, most of our directors and officers are nationals and residents of countries other than the United States. A substantial portion of the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons. It may also be difficult for you to enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained in U.S. courts based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us and our officers and directors, all of whom are not residents in the United States and whose assets are located outside the United States. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands or the PRC would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts against us or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state. You may be subject to limitations on transfers of your ADSs. Your ADSs are transferable on the books of the depositary. However, the depositary may close its transfer books at any time or from time to time when it deems expedient in connection with the performance of its duties. In addition, the depositary may refuse to deliver, transfer or register transfers of ADSs generally when our books or the books of the depositary are closed, or at any time if we or the depositary deems it advisable to do so because of any requirement of law or of any government or governmental body, or under any provision of the deposit agreement, or for any other reason. 59 It may be difficult for overseas regulators to conduct investigations or collect evidence within China. Shareholder claims or regulatory investigation that are common in the United States generally are difficult to pursue as a matter of law or practicality in China. For example, in China, there are significant legal and other obstacles to providing information needed for regulatory investigations or litigation initiated outside China. Although the authorities in China may establish a regulatory cooperation mechanism with the securities regulatory authorities of another country or region to implement cross-border supervision and administration, such cooperation with the securities regulatory authorities in the Unities States may not be efficient in the absence of mutual and practical cooperation mechanisms. Furthermore, according to Article 177 of the PRC Securities Law, or Article 177, which became effective in March 2020, no overseas securities regulator is allowed to directly conduct investigations or evidence collection activities within the territory of the PRC. While detailed interpretations of or implementation rules under Article 177 have yet to be promulgated, the inability for an overseas securities regulator to directly conduct investigations or evidence collection activities within China may further increase difficulties you may face in protecting your interests. We are a Cayman Islands company. As judicial precedent regarding the rights of shareholders under Cayman Islands law is different from U.S. law, English law or Hong Kong law, shareholders may have different shareholder rights than they would have under U.S. law, English law or Hong Kong law and may face difficulties in protecting your interests. We are an exempted company with limited liability incorporated in the Cayman Islands. Our corporate affairs are governed by our Articles of Association (as may be further amended from time to time), the Companies Act (as amended) of the Cayman Islands and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. This common law is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the Cayman Islands. The laws of the Cayman Islands relating to the protection of the interests of minority shareholders differ in some aspects from those in the United States, the United Kingdom and Hong Kong. Such differences mean that the remedies available to our minority shareholders may be different from those they would have under the laws of United States, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong or other jurisdictions. In addition, some states in the United States, such as Delaware, have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law than the Cayman Islands. In addition, as a Cayman Islands exempted company, our shareholders have no general rights under Cayman Islands law to inspect corporate records and accounts or to obtain copies of lists of shareholders of these companies with the exception that the shareholders may request a copy of the Articles of Association. Our directors have discretion under our Articles of Association to determine whether or not, and under what conditions, our corporate records may be inspected by our shareholders, but are not obliged to make them available to our shareholders. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain the information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder motion or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest. As a Cayman Islands company, we may not have standing to initiate a derivative action in U.S. federal courts, English courts or Hong Kong courts. As a result, you may be limited in your ability to protect your interests if you are harmed in a manner that would otherwise enable you to sue in U.S. federal courts, English courts or Hong Kong courts. In addition, shareholders of Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in U.S. federal courts, English courts or Hong Kong courts. Most of our directors and executive officers reside outside of the United States and a substantial portion of their assets are located outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for you to bring an action against us or against these individuals in the United States in the event that you believe that your rights have been infringed under the securities laws of the United States or otherwise. In addition, some of our operating subsidiaries are incorporated in China. To the extent our directors and executive officers reside in China or their assets are located in China, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process upon us or our management inside China. Even if you are successful in bringing an action, the laws of the Cayman Islands and China may render you unable to enforce a judgment against our assets or the assets of our directors and officers. There is no statutory recognition in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, Hong Kong or China, although the courts of the Cayman Islands will generally recognize and enforce a non-penal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits subject to certain conditions. As a result of all of the above, public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, members of the board of directors or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of an English company, a U.S. company or a Hong Kong company. 60 We cannot assure you that our ordinary shares will remain listed on the AIM or the SEHK or our ADSs will remain listed on Nasdaq. Although it is currently intended that our ordinary shares and ADSs will remain listed on the AIM, the SEHK and Nasdaq, as applicable, there is no guarantee of the continued listing of our securities on any of these exchanges. We may decide at some point in the future to delist voluntarily (subject to the applicable regulatory requirements) from one or more of these exchanges, or we may be delisted involuntarily if, among other factors, we do not continue to satisfy the listing requirements of the applicable exchange or comply with applicable law. For example, we could be delisted from the Nasdaq if the PCAOB continues to be unable to inspect our independent registered public accounting firm for three consecutive years. The AIM Rules for companies provide that a voluntary cancellation of admission to AIM is conditional upon the consent of not less than 75% of votes cast by its shareholders at a general meeting unless the London Stock Exchange otherwise agrees. Circumstances where the London Stock Exchange might otherwise agree that shareholder consent at a general meeting is not required would include the situation where the AIM securities are already admitted to trading on an “AIM Designated Market” (which includes Nasdaq) to enable shareholders to trade their AIM securities in the future. The SEHK rules allow an issuer whose primary listing is on SEHK and which has an alternative listing on another stock exchange to withdraw its listing with the prior approval of shareholders by ordinary resolution obtained at a duly convened meeting of the shareholders and the satisfaction of other requirements. SEHK may also cancel the listing of any securities that have been suspended from trading for a continuous period of 18 months. We cannot predict the effect a delisting of our shares on the SEHK or AIM market or our ADSs on Nasdaq would have on the market price of our shares and/or ADSs. We may also seek further listings on other stock exchanges such as the Shanghai Stock Exchange. However, there is no assurance that we would proceed with a listing and if we do proceed, that a listing would materialize. The characteristics of the Hong Kong, U.S. and U.K. capital markets are different. The SEHK, Nasdaq and the AIM have different trading hours, trading characteristics (including trading volume and liquidity), trading and listing rules, market regulations, and investor bases (including different levels of retail and institutional participation). As a result of these differences, the trading prices of the shares and the ADSs might not be the same, even allowing for currency differences. Circumstances peculiar to the U.S. capital markets could materially and adversely affect the price of the shares. Because of the different characteristics of the Hong Kong, U.S. and U.K. equity markets, the historical market prices of our securities may not be indicative of the performance of the shares. We are subject to Hong Kong, Nasdaq and AIM listing and regulatory requirements concurrently. As we are listed on the SEHK, the Nasdaq and the AIM, we are required to comply with the listing rules (where applicable) and other regulatory regimes of each stock exchange, unless otherwise agreed by the relevant regulators. We may also seek further listings on other stock exchanges such as the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Accordingly, we may incur additional costs and resources in complying with the requirements of each stock exchange. ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY A. History and Development of the Company. HUTCHMED (China) Limited (formerly Hutchison China MediTech Limited) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on December 18, 2000 as an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Act, Cap 22 (Act 3 of 1961, as consolidated and revised) of the Cayman Islands. Our company was founded by a wholly owned subsidiary of CK Hutchison, a multinational conglomerate with operations in over 50 countries. CK Hutchison is the ultimate parent company of our largest shareholder Hutchison Healthcare Holdings Limited. We launched our novel drug research and development operations in 2002 with the establishment of our subsidiary HUTCHMED Limited, which is focused on discovering, developing and marketing drugs for the treatment of cancer and immunological diseases. Twelve of our in-house discovered drug candidates have entered clinical trials around the world and three have so far been approved for sale. Since 2001, we have also developed drug marketing and distribution platforms in China, which primarily focus on prescription drug and consumer health products through several joint ventures and subsidiary companies and are included in our Other Ventures. We listed our ordinary shares on the AIM market in 2006, ADSs on the Nasdaq Global Select Market in 2016 and our ordinary shares on the SEHK in 2021. 61 On March 4, 2021 we announced the consolidation of the two corporate identities that we have used since our inception. Hutchison China MediTech, or Chi-Med, has been used as our group identity, while Hutchison MediPharma has been the identity of our novel drug research and development operations under which our oncology products have been developed and are now being marketed. The brand HUTCHMED immediately replaced Chi-Med as our abbreviated name, and we changed our group company name at our Annual General Meeting in April 2021 from Hutchison China MediTech Limited to HUTCHMED (China) Limited. On April 14, 2021, we completed the sale of $100 million of ordinary shares at a price of $6.10 per share via a private placement to Pachytene Limited, an investment holding company wholly owned by Baring Asia Private Equity Fund VII. In June 2021, we sold a total of 104,000,000 ordinary shares in our initial public offering on the SEHK, raising gross proceeds of approximately $534.7 million. In July 2021, the over-allotment option of our initial public offering on the SEHK was fully exercised, and we sold a total of 15,600,000 ordinary shares, raising gross proceeds of approximately $80.2 million. On September 28, 2021, we disposed of our entire investment in Hutchison Baiyunshan, our non-core and non-consolidated over- the-counter drug joint venture business, to GL Mountrose Investment Two Limited, a company controlled and managed by GL Capital Group. GL Capital Group is an investment firm that focuses on buyout and growth opportunities in China’s healthcare industry. As our focus is the discovery and development of novel therapies in oncology and immunology, the sale of our interest in Hutchison Baiyunshan allows us to focus resources on our primary aim of accelerating investment in our Oncology/Immunology assets. We are also considering divesting other non-core businesses in our Other Ventures segment, including Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals.

Business Overview. Overview We are a global commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of targeted therapies and immunotherapies for the treatment of patients with cancer and immunological diseases. Our company started in China in 2000 and has since developed fully integrated capabilities and expanded oncology and immunology drug development operations globally. Our operational achievements and capabilities to date include: Broad pipeline of differentiated targeted therapies and immunotherapies built for the global market. We have a pipeline of differentiated drug candidates covering both novel and validated targets, including MET, VEGFR, FGFR, CSF-1R, PI3Kδ, Syk, EZH2, IDH, ERK, BTK, and EGFR. The aim of our research is to develop drugs with high selectivity and superior safety profiles, a key benefit of which is that our drug candidates have the potential to be effectively paired with other oncology and immunology therapies at effective dosages with fewer side effects. 62 Commercially launching products while continuing to discover new assets. In China, we have launched three of our internally developed drugs, Elunate (fruquintinib), Sulanda (surufatinib) and Orpathys (savolitinib), to patients. All three drugs are in late-stage development outside of China, with the most advanced being surufatinib for which an NDA submission to the United States FDA is under review. Our marketing authorization application for surufatinib for the treatment of NETs to the European Medicines Agency, or EMA, is also under review. In addition, we have ten additional drug candidates that have entered earlier stages of clinical development (Phase I/Ib and Phase Ib/II proof of concept studies) and one advanced pre-clinical drug candidate. Comprehensive global in-house discovery and development capabilities. We have a comprehensive drug discovery and development operation covering chemistry, biology, pharmacology, toxicology, chemistry and manufacturing controls for clinical and commercial supply, clinical and regulatory and other functions. It is led by a team of approximately 820 scientists, who have created one of the broadest global clinical pipelines among our peer oncology and immunology focused biotechnology companies. Currently, we are conducting and planning over 40 different clinical studies in oncology patients globally, including over a dozen Phase III registration and Phase II registration-intent studies underway. Fast expanding and productive international organization. Our U.S. and European teams of approximately 130 mainly consisting of clinical, regulatory and commercial staff significantly broadened our international operations, particularly in the United States, Europe, Japan and Australia. This team has established a productive track record since it was established in 2018, including the submission and acceptance of a rolling U.S. NDA filing for surufatinib, initiation and full enrollment of a large global randomized controlled study for fruquintinib, and ongoing U.S. and European Phase I and II trials for our drug candidates sovleplenib, amdizalisib, HMPL-306 and HMPL-760. The FDA granted surufatinib two fast track designations as well as an orphan drug designation for NETs. Fruquintinib has also received FDA fast track designation, for late stage colorectal cancer (CRC). Furthermore, we are now building a commercial team in the United States, having recruited a team of over 30 personnel, to support the potential upcoming launch of surufatinib in the United States. Long-standing drug marketing and distribution experience to support the realization of in-house oncology innovations in China. We have built large-scale and profitable drug marketing and distribution capabilities through our Other Ventures operations, which primarily manufacture, market and distribute prescription drugs in China. Our 20-year track record and deep institutional knowledge of the drug marketing and distribution process are being leveraged to bring our in-house oncology innovations to patients. We have built and continue to expand our in-house oncology drug sales team of about 630 persons to support the commercialization of Elunate, Sulanda and our other innovative drugs, if approved, throughout China. Our oncology drug sales team covers over 2,500 oncology hospitals and over 29,000 oncology physicians in China, a network that we estimate represents over 90% of oncology drug sales in China. Our Strategies Our vision is to be a global leader in the discovery, development and commercialization of targeted therapies and immunotherapies for the treatment of patients with cancer and immunological diseases. Key elements of our strategy are to: Realize the global potential of our oncology drug candidates Our first wave of innovation, surufatinib (unpartnered), fruquintinib (partnered in China with Eli Lilly) and savolitinib (partnered globally with AstraZeneca), are either commercialized, under review for marketing authorization or in registrational studies in multiple jurisdictions. In tandem with our ongoing progression of such drugs, we will continue to invest in the future with our deep pipeline of unpartnered next wave of oncology assets for which we own all rights globally and have significant flexibility in driving their development. We intend to accelerate our global drug development by leveraging our advanced clinical trial data from China and selectively conduct clinical trials concurrently in China and other jurisdictions so that the programs progress in parallel globally. To broaden and scale our international operations and support the increasing clinical activities in the United States and Europe, we plan to continue significantly expanding our clinical teams in those geographies. 63 Continue designing and creating molecules to develop into medicines with specific and differentiated characteristics for the benefit of patients We believe our world-class drug discovery engine is our key competitive advantage. We strive to create differentiated novel oncology and immunology treatments with global potential. Our drug discovery team has utilized our expertise in advanced medicinal chemistry to develop next-generation TKI that have both high selectivity and superior pharmacokinetic properties. Equally importantly, we will continue to design chemical and biologic drug candidates with profiles that allow them to be used in innovative combinations with other selective inhibitors, chemotherapy agents and immunotherapies. Such combination therapies enable treatment of cancer via multiple pathways and modalities simultaneously, which has the potential to significantly improve treatment outcomes. We plan to continue to build out our global pipeline of self-discovered drug candidates by advancing a rich pipeline of early-stage drug candidates, which include small molecule drugs targeting new pathways such as MAPK and biologics addressing novel targets designed for use in combination with our small molecules, as well as potentially a broad range of third-party therapies. Build and scale our marketing and commercialization capabilities globally We plan to leverage our long-standing drug marketing and distribution know-how and infrastructure to support our innovative oncology product launches, focusing in particular on the Chinese and U.S. markets. We have a 20-year track record of marketing and selling products in China. We aim to grow our in-house oncology drug sales team in China of about 630 persons to about 700 persons by the end of 2023. Outside of China, we intend to commercialize our products, if approved, in the United States where we have already begun to build our own sales team. In Europe, Japan and other major markets, we will look to form collaborations with leading biopharmaceutical companies and/or contract sales organizations to fully realize the value of our assets. We will also continue to scale our manufacturing capacity to support the sales of our approved drugs, including through the expansion of our existing Suzhou facility production team and the ongoing construction of our new plant in Shanghai, which will provide a five-fold increase in our existing production capacity. Identify global business development and strategic acquisition opportunities to complement our internal research and development activities We plan to explore opportunities to access complementary drug candidates and/or acquire interests in other biopharmaceutical companies to supplement our in-house research and development capabilities and to enhance our current drug candidate pipeline. We will also continue to seek in-licensing opportunities in China, with a focus on drug candidates with the potential to both complement our existing drug pipeline and have synergistic effects with each other, such as Tazverik from Epizyme. In addition, we expect to progress some of our drug candidates by pursuing business development opportunities with other biopharmaceutical companies both in China and globally such as our collaboration with BeiGene to evaluate combining surufatinib and fruquintinib with its anti-PD-1 antibody tislelizumab for the treatment of various solid tumor cancers. We will also continue to work with our partners, AstraZeneca and Eli Lilly, to optimize the potential of our drug candidates savolitinib (globally with AstraZeneca) and fruquintinib (in China with Eli Lilly). Capitalize on regulatory reforms currently underway in China aimed at addressing existing unmet medical needs and improving the health of its people We believe the Chinese oncology market, which comprises approximately a quarter of the global oncology patient population, represents a substantial and fast-growing market opportunity. Over the past decade, the PRC government has endeavored to foster an innovative biopharmaceutical ecosystem, and in the last few years, the pace of reforms has accelerated with a clear focus on providing Chinese patients access to world-class oncology therapies through expanded insurance reimbursement and reduced time for clinical trials and drug approvals. As a result, the oncology drug market in China is growing rapidly. Having invested in drug innovation in China for about 20 years, beginning at a time when almost no other domestic companies were involved in innovative oncology research, we believe we are well positioned to capture this market opportunity. 64 Oncology Commercial Operations Surufatinib – Sulanda in China We received approval from the NMPA for Sulanda as a treatment for patients with advanced non-pancreatic NETs in December 2020 and advanced pancreatic NETs in June 2021. During 2021, we introduced Sulanda through a campaign of local, regional and national launch events involving approximately 12,000 healthcare professionals. We have also confirmed a total of approximately 50 investigator-initiated studies in a broad range of exploratory solid tumor indications all of which are expected to gradually expand awareness of Sulanda in China. In 2021, we used means-test early access and patient access programs to help patients afford Sulanda, and we estimate approximately 4,800 new patients were treated. By the end of 2021, Sulanda prescriptions had been written in more than 30 provinces in China. Total in-market sales of Sulanda were $11.6 million in 2021, and in January 2022, Sulanda was included on China’s NRDL, making it available in all public hospitals in China. There are an estimated approximately 34,000 new patients of advanced NETs per year in China and were potentially over 300,000 patients living with NET in China in 2021. 65 Fruquintinib – Elunate in China We received approval from the NMPA for Elunate as a treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer, or mCRC, in September 2018. At the end of 2018, our collaboration partner Eli Lilly commenced commercial sales of Elunate, targeting the more than 80,000 mCRC third-line patients in China each year. In January 2020, Elunate was included on China’s NRDL, and is therefore now available in public hospitals throughout China, paving the way to significantly broaden access for advanced CRC patients and rapidly build penetration in China over the coming years. In October 2020, we took over the development and execution of all on-the-ground medical detailing, promotion and local and regional marketing responsibilities in China through an amendment to our collaboration terms with Eli Lilly. Since taking on these commercial responsibilities, we have deployed our oncology drug sales force to market Elunate. We are quickly expanding hospital pharmacy listings, one of the most important factors affecting broad-scale adoption of Elunate in China, which now total over 400. Driven in part by the inclusion of Elunate on the 2020 NRDL and our assumption of responsibility for detailing, promoting and marketing the drug in China in October 2020, total in-market sales of Elunate by Eli Lilly, as provided to us by Eli Lilly, increased by 111% to $71.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $33.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. We recognize revenue for royalties and manufacturing costs and, since October 1, 2020, additional service payments in association with our expanded role in the commercialization of Elunate paid to us by Eli Lilly. Subject to meeting pre-agreed sales targets, Eli Lilly will pay us an estimated total of 70% to 80% of Elunate in-market sales in the form of royalties, manufacturing costs and service payments. In 2021, we recorded $53.5 million in revenue for Elunate, equal to 75.4% of in-market sales. Following negotiations with the China National Healthcare Security Administration, Elunate continues to be included in the NRDL for a new two-year term starting in January 2022. For this renewal, we agreed to a discount of 5% relative to the 2021 NRDL price. During 2021, our medical marketing and affairs teams conducted about 4,800 educational/scientific events for Elunate in China. Savolitinib – Orpathys in China On June 22, 2021, Orpathys became the first-in-class selective MET inhibitor to be approved in China. Our partner, AstraZeneca, then launched Orpathys in mid-July 2021, less than three weeks after its conditional approval by the NMPA for patients with MET exon 14 skipping alteration NSCLC. We are responsible for manufacturing and all other marketing authorization holder, or MAH, responsibilities, and our commercial collaboration partner AstraZeneca is responsible for the commercialization of Orpathys. In return for these commercial rights, AstraZeneca pays us a 30% royalty on all sales, various development and commercial milestones and manufacturing fees. More than a third of the world’s lung cancer patients are in China and, among those with NSCLC, approximately 2-3% have tumors with MET exon 14 skipping alterations, representing an approximate incidence of 13,000 new patients per year in China. Importantly also, MET plays a role in multiple other solid tumors, with an estimated total incidence of 120,000 new patients per year in China. In- market sales of Orpathys since its launch in July 2021, as provided to us by AstraZeneca, were $15.9 million showing rapid initial self- pay uptake for being the first-in-class selective MET inhibitor in China. These in-market sales also resulted in a $25.0 million first sale milestone payment from AstraZeneca to us and $11.3 million in revenues recognized by us from manufacturing fees and royalties in 2021. Since mid-2021, the progress made in the research, development and commercialization of savolitinib has triggered a total of $40 million in milestone payments from AstraZeneca to us. We estimate that approximately 1,900 new patients were treated with Orpathys in 2021. AstraZeneca introduced a patient access program in late 2021 which subsidizes the use of Orpathys through progressive disease. Following negotiations with the China National Healthcare Security Administration, we and AstraZeneca declined inclusion in the 2022 NRDL, a position that will be reassessed for potential 2023 inclusion. 66 International Clinical Drug Development (Outside China) Seven of our oncology drug candidates are in development outside China. Our fast expanding international organization, led mainly from the United States, is developing these candidates. We completed the rolling submission of our first U.S. NDA in April 2021, for surufatinib, and this NDA was accepted by the FDA in June 2021 subject to certain clinical site inspections by the FDA. The EMA also validated and accepted our marketing authorization application for surufatinib for advanced NETs in July 2021, and we completed the 120 day assessment and are now entering the later stages of MAA review. For savolitinib in combination with Tagrisso in EGFR TKI refractory NSCLC, we conducted an end of phase 2 meeting with the FDA. We also completed clinical trial applications in the United States, Europe and Japan for the SAFFRON study, a global pivotal Phase III of savolitinib and Tagrisso in patients with NSCLC who have progressed following Tagrisso treatment due to MET amplification or overexpression. In addition to the SAFFRON study, which we are preparing to initiate in mid-2022, we continue to evaluate the possibility of using the ongoing SAVANNAH study as the basis for U.S. accelerated approval. Among other progress we have made, enrollment was completed for fruquintinib in a fourteen-country global Phase III study, the FRESCO-2 study, in CRC which is expected to read-out later in 2022, and positive and differentiated proof- of-concept data was presented for amdizalisib. The following table summarizes the status of our international clinical drug portfolio’s development as of the date of the filing of this annual report: Program Investigational treatment Disease Target patient Study name Sites Dose (cid:31)inding / safety run-in Proof-of-concept Registration Savoli(cid:31)nib + Tagrisso Savoli(cid:31)nib + Tagrisso NSCLC NSCLC 2L/3L EGFRm; Tagrisso ref.; MET+ SAVANNAH Global 2L/3L EGFRm; Tagrisso ref.; MET+ SAFFRON Global * ** Savolitinib MET Savoli(cid:31)nib + Imfinzi (PD-L1) Papillary RCC Savoli(cid:31)nib + Imfinzi (PD-L1) Papillary RCC MET+ All SAMETA Global CALYPSO UK/Spain *** Savoli(cid:31)nib + Imfinzi (PD-L1) Clear cell RCC VEGFR TKI refractory CALYPSO UK/Spain *** Gastric cancer MET+ VIKTORY S Korea *** Refractory NET NET NET US EU JP US/EU (Bridging) NDA under review MMA under review Colorectal cancer Refractory FRESCO-2 US/EU/JP Savoli(cid:31)nib Surufa(cid:31)nib Surufa(cid:31)nib Surufa(cid:31)nib Fruquin(cid:31)nib Fruquin(cid:31)nib Surufatinib VEGFR 1/2/3; FGFR 1; CSF-1R Fruquintinib VEGFR 1/2/3 Surufa(cid:31)nib + (cid:31)slelizumab (PD-1) Solid tumors Breast cancer Fruquin(cid:31)nib + (cid:31)slelizumab (PD-1) TN breast cancer, EMC Fruquin(cid:31)nib + (cid:31)slelizumab (PD-1) Solid tumors Amdizalisib (HMPL-689) PI3Kδ Amdizalisib Amdizalisib Sovleplenib (HMPL-523) Syk Sovleplenib Sovleplenib HMPL-306 IDH 1/2 HMPL-306 HMPL-306 HMPL-760 HMPL-760 Indolent NHL, PTCL Healthy volunteers Indolent NHL Indolent NHL Solid tumors Heme. malignancies B-Cell NHL US US S Korea US/EU Australia Australia US/EU US/EU US/EU US/EU ** * Phase II registration-intent study subject to regulatory discussion; ** In planning; *** Investigator-initiated trials (IIT) 67 Note: NDA = New Drug Application; MAA = Marketing Authorization Application; MET = mesenchymal epithelial transition receptor; NSCLC = non-small cell lung cancer; EGFRm = epidermal growth factor receptor mutation; RCC = renal cell carcinoma; VEGFR = vascular endothelial growth factor receptor; TKI = tyrosine kinase inhibitor; FGFR 1 = fibroblast growth factor receptor 1; CSF-1R = colony stimulating factor-1 receptor; NET = neuroendocrine tumors; TN = triple negative; EMC = endometrial cancer; PI3Kδ = Phosphatidylinositol-3-Kinase delta; NHL = Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma; PTCL = peripheral T-cell lymphoma; Syk = spleen tyrosine kinase; IDH 1/2 = isocitrate dehydrogenase 1/2; BTK = Bruton’s tyrosine kinase. Savolitinib – selective MET inhibitor in late-stage clinical development as a monotherapy and in combination therapies in global partnership with AstraZeneca Savolitinib, which has been approved in China for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC, is a potent and selective small molecule inhibitor of the MET receptor tyrosine kinase, an enzyme which has been shown to function abnormally in many types of solid tumors. We designed savolitinib through chemical structure modification to specifically address kidney toxicity, the primary issue that halted development of several other selective MET inhibitors. In clinical trials to date in over 1,500 patients globally, savolitinib has shown promising signs of clinical efficacy in patients with multiple types of MET gene alterations in lung cancer, kidney cancer and gastric cancer with an acceptable safety profile. We are currently testing savolitinib in global partnership with AstraZeneca, both as a monotherapy and in combination with immunotherapy and targeted therapy. Most notably, MET-amplification is a major mechanism for acquired resistance to both first- generation EGFR TKIs as well as third-generation EGFR TKIs like Tagrisso. Savolitinib has been studied extensively in these patients in the TATTON and SAVANNAH studies. Final results from the TATTON study were presented at World Conference on Lung Cancers, or WCLC, in January 2021, and initial results from SAVANNAH are in preparation for submission to a scientific conference in 2022. The successful results led to the initiation and planning of three Phase III studies: SACHI and SANOVO were initiated in China in 2021, and the global, pivotal Phase III study, the SAFFRON study, is planned to commence enrollment in mid-2022. In addition to a planned Phase III study, we continue to evaluate the possibility of using data from the TATTON and SAVANNAH studies to seek accelerated approval in the United States. Proof-of-concept studies of savolitinib in kidney cancer (as a monotherapy as well as in combination with a PD-L1 inhibitor) and gastric cancer (as a monotherapy as well as in combinations with chemotherapy) have demonstrated positive results, with subsequent clinical development ongoing or in planning. For example, we initiated a global Phase III pivotal trial (SAMETA) in October 2021 for savolitinib in combination with Imfinzi, AstraZeneca’s anti-PD-L1 antibody durvalumab, in MET positive patients with papillary renal cell carcinoma or PRCC, a form of kidney cancer. Savolitinib opportunities are also continuing to be explored in multiple other MET- driven tumor settings via investigator-initiated studies including CRC. Surufatinib—unique angio-immuno kinase inhibitor with NDA submission completed in the United States and MAA in Europe; potential first VEGFR/FGFR/CSF-1R inhibitor for all advanced NETs Surufatinib, which has been approved in China for the treatment of advanced NETs, is a novel, oral angio-immuno kinase, small molecule inhibitor that selectively inhibits the tyrosine kinase activity associated with VEGFR and FGFR, which both inhibit angiogenesis, and colony stimulating factor-1 receptor, or CSF-1R, which regulates tumor-associated macrophages, promoting the body’s immune response against tumor cells. Its unique dual mechanism of action may be very suitable for possible combinations with other immunotherapies. We believe surufatinib is potentially the first VEGFR/FGFR/CSF-1R inhibitor for all advanced NETs. In the United States, the FDA granted orphan drug designation to surufatinib for the treatment of pancreatic NETs in November 2019 and granted fast track designations for the treatment of both pancreatic NETs and non-pancreatic NETs in April 2020. In May 2020, we reached an agreement with the FDA that the completed SANET-ep (non-pancreatic NET) and SANET-p (pancreatic NET) studies in China, along with existing data from surufatinib in U.S. non-pancreatic and pancreatic NET patients, could form the basis to support an NDA submission. Pharmacokinetic and safety data from U.S. Phase Ib neuroendocrine tumor cohorts demonstrated similar profiles of surufatinib between Chinese and U.S. patients. We completed a U.S. NDA submission in April 2021 for surufatinib for the treatment of pancreatic and non-pancreatic NETs. This is our first NDA in the United States, and it was accepted by the FDA in June 2021. The related clinical site inspections and pre-approval inspections of our manufacturing facilities are ongoing. The data package has also been used to file a marketing authorization application, to the EMA, based on scientific advice from the EMA Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use, or CHMP. The EMA has validated and accepted our marketing authorization application in July 2021. 68 We have various additional clinical trials of surufatinib ongoing as a single agent, as well as in combination with checkpoint inhibitors. In March 2021, we dosed the first patient in a combination study of surufatinib with tislelizumab, an anti-PD-1 antibody being developed by BeiGene, in the United States and Europe, and we expect to submit the data from this study for presentation in late 2022. In September 2021, we dosed our first patient in a registration-enabling bridging study in Japan to support the registration of surufatinib in the treatment of patients with advanced NETs. In addition, we believe surufatinib has potential in a number of other tumor types such as CRC, small cell lung cancer, gastric cancer and soft tissue sarcoma. Surufatinib is the first oncology medicine that we have launched in China and expanded development globally without the support of a development partner. We own all rights to surufatinib globally. Fruquintinib—selective VEGFR 1, 2 and 3 inhibitor with the best selectivity for its targets in global Phase III development Fruquintinib, which has been approved in China for the treatment of advanced mCRC, is a highly selective and potent oral inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor or VEGF receptors, known as VEGFR 1, 2 and 3. We believe that fruquintinib has the potential to become a selective small molecule VEGFR 1, 2 and 3 inhibitor for many types of solid tumors that has the highest selectivity, and we are currently studying fruquintinib in CRC, gastric cancer, breast cancer and other solid tumor types. Fruquintinib was designed to improve kinase selectivity to minimize off-target toxicities, improve tolerability and provide more consistent target coverage. The tolerability in patients to date, along with fruquintinib’s low potential for drug-drug interaction based on pre-clinical assessment, suggests that it may be highly suitable for combinations with other anti-cancer therapies. Building on the data collected from our successful Phase III trial in China, known as the FRESCO study, which supported fruquintinib’s approval in China, we initiated FRESCO-2, a large randomized controlled study of fruquintinib in the United States, Europe, Japan and Australia. The first patient was dosed in September 2020, and the study enrolled over 690 patients in over 150 sites in 14 countries. The FDA granted fast track designation for the development of fruquintinib for the treatment of patients with mCRC in June 2020. The FDA has acknowledged the totality of the fruquintinib clinical data, including the FRESCO-2 study, if positive, the prior positive Phase III FRESCO study demonstrating improvement in overall survival, or OS, that led to fruquintinib approval for metastatic CRC in China in 2018 and additional completed and ongoing supporting studies in metastatic CRC, could support a future NDA for the treatment of patients with third-line and above mCRC. The EMA and Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency or PMDA have reviewed and endorsed the FRESCO-2 study design. Preliminary data of U.S. Phase I/Ib CRC cohorts demonstrated encouraging efficacy in patients refractory or intolerant to Stivarga and Lonsurf. We are conducting and planning global combination studies of fruquintinib with BeiGene’s anti-PD-1 antibody tislelizumab for the treatment of various solid tumor cancers, including an ongoing Phase Ib/II study in advanced, refractory triple negative breast cancer or advanced endometrial cancer. Fruquintinib is being commercialized and developed in partnership with Eli Lilly in China, where we are responsible for development, manufacturing, on-the-ground medical detailing, promotion and local and regional marketing activities. We own all rights to fruquintinib outside of China. Amdizalisib (HMPL-689)—novel, highly selective PI3Kδ inhibitor with potential in hematological cancer Amdizalisib is a novel, highly selective and potent small molecule inhibitor targeting the isoform PI3Kδ. In pre-clinical pharmacokinetic studies, amdizalisib’s pharmacokinetic properties have been found to be favorable with good oral absorption, moderate tissue distribution and low clearance. Amdizalisib is also expected to have low risk of drug accumulation and drug-drug interaction and is highly potent, particularly at the whole blood level. Amdizalisib received Breakthrough Therapy Designation from the CDE of the NMPA in China for the treatment of refractory follicular lymphoma in September 2021. The NMPA grants Breakthrough Therapy Designation to new drugs that treat life-threatening diseases or serious conditions for which there are no effective treatment options, and where clinical evidence demonstrates significant advantages over existing therapies. Drug candidates with Breakthrough Therapy Designation may be considered for conditional approval and priority review when submitting an NDA. We have early-stage clinical trials of amdizalisib ongoing and preliminary evidence suggests that amdizalisib may perform in the clinic as designed. Based on extensive Phase I/Ib proof-of-concept clinical data in China and Australia on amdizalisib, we have opened 18 U.S. and European sites for a Phase I/Ib study with patient enrollment underway, focusing on advanced relapsed or refractory lymphoma. We have initiated the dose expansion portion of the Phase I study in the United States and Europe in the second half of 2021 in multiple types of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. 69 We own all rights to amdizalisib globally. Sovleplenib (HMPL-523)—potentially the first selective Syk inhibitor for hematological cancer Sovleplenib is a novel, highly selective, oral, small molecule inhibitor targeting the spleen tyrosine kinase, or Syk, for the treatment of hematological cancers and certain chronic immune diseases. Syk is a major component in B-cell receptor signaling and is an established therapeutic target in multiple subtypes of B-cell lymphomas. Because B-cell malignancies are heterogeneous and patients commonly experience relapse despite current therapies, there is a need for new therapies. We have various clinical trials of sovleplenib ongoing. We have multiple sites in the United States and Europe for a Phase I/Ib study with patient enrollment underway, focusing on advanced relapsed or refractory lymphoma and are close to establishing our Phase II dose. We own all rights to sovleplenib globally. HMPL-306—potentially the first dual inhibitor of IDH1 and IDH2 with applications in hematological malignancies and solid tumors HMPL-306 is a novel small molecule dual-inhibitor of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2, or IDH 1 and 2, enzymes. IDH1 and IDH2 mutations have been implicated as drivers of certain hematological malignancies and solid tumors, particularly among acute myeloid leukemia patients. We initiated two international Phase I studies, one for AML and the other for solid tumors, with the first patient dosed in the United States in March 2021. We own all rights to HMPL-306 globally. HMPL-760—an investigational, highly selective, third-generation oral inhibitor of BTK with improved potency versus first generation BTK inhibitors against both wild type & C481S mutant enzymes We initiated a Phase I study in patients with advanced hematological malignancies in China in January 2022. We are also initiating an international Phase I study in patients with advanced hematological malignancies in the United States. We own all rights to HMPL- 760 globally. China Clinical Drug Development We are the MAH of three internally discovered and developed innovative oncology medicines, Orpathys, Sulanda and Elunate. We have additional drug candidates in earlier stage clinical development (Phase I/Ib and Phase Ib/II proof-of-concept studies) and several advanced pre-clinical drug candidates. Our four submitted China NDAs were classified by the NMPA as Category 1. If submitted for approval, all of our drug candidates are expected to be classified as Category 1, as they are innovative drugs that have not been marketed inside or outside of China. 70 The following table summarizes the status of our China clinical programs as of the date of the filing of this annual report.

Savolitinib – commercially launched as Orpathys and first selective MET inhibitor in China In June 2021, the NMPA approved savolitinib for marketing for the treatment of NSCLC with MET exon 14 skipping alterations, making savolitinib the first-in-class selective MET inhibitor in China. This approval follows a priority review designation by the NMPA and is the first regulatory approval globally for this oral, potent and selective MET TKI. The approval by the NMPA was based on positive results from a Phase II trial conducted in China in patients with NSCLC with this mutation, including patients with the more aggressive pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma subtype. Savolitinib demonstrated effective anti-tumor activity based on an independent review of objective response rate or ORR and disease control rate or DCR. The approval is conditional upon successful completion of a confirmatory study in this patient population. The results reviewed by the NMPA when it approved savolitinib were also published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine. In 2021, we initiated several new trials in a variety of indications, including for example, SAMETA, a global Phase III pivotal study of savolitinib with Imfinzi in MET-driven, unresearchable and locally advanced or metastatic PRCC, and a confirmatory China Phase IIIb post-approval study of savolitinib monotherapy in MET exon 14 skipping alteration patients. In the same year, we also presented CALYPSO Phase II study data in MET-drive patients for savolitinib in combination with Imfinzi at the 2021 American Society of Clinical Oncology, or ASCO, annual meeting and the final Phase II data for the TATTON study at 2020 WCLC annual meeting. In 2022, we plan to submit for presentation the SAVANNAH Phase II study for the savolitinib plus Tagrisso combination in NSCLC patients harboring EGFR mutation and MET amplification or overexpression. SAVANNAH has informed the regulatory, biomarker and dose regimen strategy for the China Phase III studies SANOVO and SACHI, and the global Phase III study in planning. We also plan to initiate a global, pivotal Phase III study for the savolitinib plus Tagrisso combination in mid-2022, in patients with NSCLC who have progressed following Tagrisso treatment due to MET amplification. Surufatinib—commercially launched as Sulanda in China in advanced NETs; first VEGFR/FGFR/CSF-1R inhibitor for all advanced NETs Surufatinib was approved by the NMPA in December 2020 for the treatment of non-pancreatic NETs and is now being marketed by us in China under the brand name Sulanda. This NMPA approval of surufatinib was based on results from the SANET-ep study, a Phase III trial in patients with advanced non-pancreatic NETs conducted in China. The positive results of this trial were highlighted in an oral presentation at the 2019 ESMO Congress and published in The Lancet Oncology in September 2020. In June 2021, surufatinib was approved by the NMPA for the treatment of advanced pancreatic NETs. This NMPA approval of surufatinib was based on results from the SANET-p study, a Phase III trial in patients with advanced pancreatic NETs conducted in China. The positive results of this trial were highlighted in an oral presentation at the 2020 ESMO Congress and published in The Lancet Oncology in September 2020. Sulanda was included in the NRDL starting January 2022, thereby broadening access to patients with advanced NETs in China. Our in- house oncology drug sales team is now responsible for the marketing and commercialization of surufatinib throughout China for such indications. In 2021, we initiated, among others, the SURTORI-01 Phase III trial in NEC patients in China, the first pivotal study combining surufatinib and toripalimab. In 2021, we presented NEC cohort and gastric and gastroesophageal junction cancers cohort data from the China Phase II study of surufatinib plus Tuoyi at the 2021 ASCO and updated data at ESMO Immuno-Oncology Congress 2021 annual meetings. We also presented encouraging data from the subgroup analysis by Ki-67 and baseline CgA of the Phase III monotherapy study in pancreatic NET (SANET-p) and Phase II study for surufatinib monotherapy in BTC patients at the 2021 ASCO annual meeting. 72 Fruquintinib – commercially launched as Elunate in China in CRC in November 2018; potential VEGFR 1, 2 and 3 inhibitor with the best selectivity for many solid tumors Fruquintinib was first commercially launched in China, marketed by our partner Eli Lilly, in November 2018 for the treatment of advanced CRC. In January 2020 (and subsequently extended for another two-year term starting in January 2022), fruquintinib was included on the NRDL thereby broadening access by advanced CRC patients in China. Since launch, Eli Lilly has deployed a dedicated team of over 140 oncology commercial personnel to market fruquintinib in China. Since October 1, 2020, we have taken over development and execution of all on-the-ground medical detailing, promotion and local and regional marketing activities for fruquintinib in China, using our in-house oncology drug sales team supported by our long-standing drug marketing and distribution platforms. Subject to meeting pre-agreed sales targets, Eli Lilly will pay us an estimated total of 70% to 80% of Elunate in-market sales in the form of royalties, manufacturing costs and service payments. We believe that fruquintinib is a VEGFR 1, 2 and 3 inhibitor with the best selectivity and could be considered for development in China in many solid tumor indications in which VEGFR inhibitors have been approved globally. To this end, since 2018, we have assumed all planning, execution and decision-making responsibilities for life cycle indication development of fruquintinib in China. In addition to its commercial launch in CRC in China, we have made progress with fruquintinib in various other cancer indications, including the FRUTIGA study in China, a pivotal Phase III study in approximately 700 patients to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fruquintinib in combination with Taxol, a chemotherapy medication, compared with Taxol monotherapy for second-line treatment of advanced gastric cancer in patients who had failed first-line chemotherapy. We expect to complete enrollment of the study in 2022. We are conducting Phase Ib/II dose expansion studies in China of fruquintinib with Tyvyt, a PD-1 monoclonal antibody being developed by Innovent, in different tumor types, including HCC, endometrial cancer, RCC and CRC. Furthermore, we intend to conduct studies of fruquintinib in combination with BeiGene’s tislelizumab for the treatment of various solid tumor cancers in China. At the 2021 ASCO annual meeting, encouraging preliminary Phase I/Ib results were presented for fruquintinib in combination with two different PD-1 inhibitors: Tyvyt and geptanolimab. Amdizalisib—novel, highly selective PI3Kδ inhibitor with potential in hematological cancer Our Phase I dose escalation study on amdizalisib in China has been completed, and a recommended Phase II dose was selected. Amdizalisib was well tolerated, exhibiting dose-proportional pharmacokinetics, a manageable toxicity profile, and single-agent clinical activity in relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphoma patients. Our Phase Ib expansion study in China is ongoing in multiple sub-categories of indolent non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. In April 2021, we commenced a registration-intent Phase II trial of amdizalisib a highly selective and potent PI3Kδ inhibitor in China in patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma and marginal zone lymphoma, two subtypes of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Sovleplenib—potentially the first selective Syk inhibitor for hematological diseases Data from an extensive Phase I/Ib dose escalation and expansion study (covering more than 200 patients) on sovleplenib has encouraged us to initiate exploratory studies in China on multiple indolent non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma sub-categories, including chronic lymphocytic lymphoma, Waldenstrom’s follicular macroglobulinemia and mantle cell lymphoma. lymphoma, marginal zone leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma, Furthermore, in August 2019 we commenced a Phase I study of sovleplenib in China for the treatment of immune thrombocytopenia, an autoimmune disorder characterized by low platelet count and an increased bleeding risk. Based on the encouraging data from Phase Ib study of sovleplenib in adult patients with immune thrombocytopenia, we commenced a Phase III study in the same indication and dosed the first patient in October 2021. In January 2022, sovleplenib received the Breakthrough Therapy Designation in China for treatment of primary immune thrombocytopenia. 73 Tazemetostat In August 2021, we entered into a strategic collaboration with Epizyme, Inc. to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize tazemetostat (Tazverik) in Greater China, including mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. Tazemetostat is an inhibitor of EZH2 developed by Epizyme that is approved by the FDA for the treatment of certain epithelioid sarcoma and follicular lymphoma patients. It received accelerated approval from the FDA based on ORR and DOR in January and June 2020 for epithelioid sarcoma and follicular lymphoma, respectively. We plan to develop and seek approval for tazemetostat in various hematological and solid tumors, including epithelial sarcoma, follicular lymphoma and diffuse large b-cell lymphoma in Greater China. We are participating in Epizyme’s SYMPHONY-1 (EZH-302) study, leading it in Greater China. We and Epizyme also intend to conduct additional global studies jointly. HMPL-306—potentially the first dual inhibitor of IDH1 and IDH2 with applications in hematological malignancies and solid tumors A Phase I trial in China was initiated in July 2020, in patients of relapsed or refractory hematological malignancies with an IDH1 and/or IDH2 mutation. Multiple sites have been initiated and we aim to establish the Phase II dose in mid-2022. HMPL-760—highly potent, selective, and reversible inhibitor with long target engagement against BTK In January 2022, we initiated a Phase I trial in China in patients with previously treated chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma or other types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, including patients treated with a prior regimen containing a BTK inhibitor, whose disease carries either wild-type BTK or acquired resistance to first generation BTK inhibitors due to additional mutations to BTK. An initial dose escalation stage to determine the maximum tolerated dose and/or the RP2D is planned, to be followed by a dose expansion phase where patients will receive HMPL‑760 to further evaluate the safety, tolerability, and clinical activity at the RP2D. Approximately 100 patients are expected to be enrolled. HMPL-453—highly selective FGFR 1/2/3 inhibitor with potential in solid tumors Aberrant FGFR signaling is associated with tumor growth, promotion of angiogenesis, as well as resistance to anti-tumor therapies. A Phase II study is ongoing in patients with advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, or IHCC, with FGFR2 fusion that had failed at least one line of systemic therapy. IHCC is a cancer that develops within the bile ducts, the second most common primary hepatic malignancy after hepatocellular carcinoma. Approximately 10-15% of IHCC patients have tumors that harbor FGFR2 fusion. We also initiated a Phase Ib/II study of HMPL-453 in combination with chemotherapies or toripalimab for advanced solid tumors in China in January 2022. HMPL-295 – an investigative and highly selective small molecule inhibitor of ERK in the MAPK pathway with the potential to address intrinsic or acquired resistance from upstream mechanisms such as RAS-RAF-MEK HMPL-295, a novel ERK inhibitor, is our tenth in-house discovered small molecule oncology drug candidate. ERK is a downstream component of the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK signaling cascade (MAPK pathway). This is our first of multiple candidates in discovery targeting the MAPK pathway. A China Phase I study of HMPL-295 as a monotherapy has been initiated in July 2021. HMPL-653—CSF-1R inhibitor HMPL-653 is a novel, highly selective, and potent CSF-1R inhibitor designed to target CSF-1R driven tumors as a monotherapy or in combination with other drugs. A China Phase I initiated in January 2022. 74 Discovery Research & Pre-clinical Development We have built a drug discovery engine based in China, which has already produced a pipeline of 17 differentiated clinical and late pre-clinical stage drug candidates covering both novel and validated targets of which two are now marketed and one is under review for approval. We strive to create differentiated novel oncology and immunology treatments with global potential. These include furthering both small molecule and biologic therapies which address aberrant genetic drivers and cancer cell metabolism; modulate tumor immune microenvironment; and target immune cell checkpoints. We design drug candidates with profiles that enable them to be used in innovative combinations with other therapies, such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy and other targeted therapies in order to attack disease simultaneously through multiple modalities and pathways. We believe that this approach can significantly improve treatment outcomes for patients. In addition to our clinical-stage assets, we have another novel oncology drug candidate in late pre-clinical stage, namely HMPL-A83, targeting solid tumors and hematological malignancies. Beyond these clinical and pre-clinical stage candidates, we continue to conduct research into discovering new types of drug candidates, including among others, small molecules addressing cancer-related apoptosis, cell signaling, epigenetics and protein translation; biologic drug candidates including bispecific antibodies; and novel technologies including antibody-drug conjugates and heterobifunctional small molecules. Manufacturing Our manufacturing facility in Suzhou complies with applicable GMP standards, providing supplies of our drug candidates for clinical trials and Elunate and Sulanda for commercial sale. We plan to continue to invest resources in the Suzhou facility, expanding the production team in phases. At the end of 2020, we commenced construction of a large-scale manufacturing plant for innovative drugs in Shanghai. The Shanghai factory will be our largest manufacturing facility, with a production capacity estimated to be five times that of our manufacturing plant in Suzhou. The first phase will be primarily for small molecule production, while the second phase is expected to include expansion into large molecule production. The Shanghai factory is designed to increase our novel drug product manufacturing capacity by over five-fold, and we plan to complete the small molecule equipment installation in late 2022, with GMP compliance targeted for late 2023. Currently, our commercial supplies of Elunate and Sulanda sold by our Oncology/Immunology operations are manufactured at our manufacturing facility in Suzhou, China. Our commercial supplies of Orpathys are outsourced and manufactured by a third-party manufacturer based in Shanghai, China. We have completed the manufacturing process studies for amdizalisib and sovleplenib in preparation for potential NDA submissions. Other Ventures In addition to our Oncology/Immunology operations, our Other Ventures include large-scale drug marketing and distribution platforms covering about 290 cities and towns in China with approximately 2,900 manufacturing and commercial personnel as of December 31, 2021. Built over the past 20 years, it primarily focuses on prescription drug and consumer health products mainly through: (i) Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals, a non-consolidated joint venture with a commercial team of over 2,200 staff managing the medical detailing and marketing of a range of own-brand prescription drug products and (ii) Hutchison Sinopharm, a consolidated joint venture focused on providing commercial services for our own marketed drugs, as well as marketing third-party prescription drug products and our science-based infant nutrition products. Hutchison Baiyunshan, a former non-consolidated joint venture focused on the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of primarily own-brand OTC drugs, was also a part of our Other Ventures’ operations before its disposal in September 2021. Net income attributable to our company from our Other Ventures totaled $41.5 million, $72.8 million and $142.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively, and are remitted to our group through dividend payments primarily from our non-consolidated joint ventures mentioned above. In 2021, dividends of an aggregate amount of $103.0 million were declared from these joint ventures to our group, with aggregate dividends declared to our group since inception of over $400 million. 75 The following table summarizes the status of our clinical programs as of the date of the filing of this annual report: Program Investigational treatment Disease Target patient Study name Sites Dose (cid:9)inding / safety run-in Proof-of-concept Registration Our Clinical Pipeline Marketed NDA under review MMA under review Marketed Marketed Marketed Savolitinib MET Surufatinib VEGFR 1/2/3; FGFR 1; CSF-1R Savoli(cid:25)nib Savoli(cid:25)nib Savoli(cid:25)nib + Tagrisso Savoli(cid:25)nib + Tagrisso Savoli(cid:25)nib Surufa(cid:25)nib Surufa(cid:25)nib Surufa(cid:25)nib Savoli(cid:25)nib + Tagrisso Savoli(cid:25)nib + Tagrisso NSCLC NSCLC 2L/3L EGFRm; Tagrisso ref.; MET+ SAVANNAH Global 2L/3L EGFRm; Tagrisso ref.; MET+ SAFFRON Global * ** Savoli(cid:25)nib + Imfinzi (PD-L1) Papillary RCC Savoli(cid:25)nib + Imfinzi (PD-L1) Papillary RCC MET+ All SAMETA Global CALYPSO UK/Spain *** Savoli(cid:25)nib + Imfinzi (PD-L1) Clear cell RCC VEGFR TKI refractory CALYPSO UK/Spain *** Gastric cancer MET+ VIKTORY S Korea *** NSCLC NSCLC NSCLC MET Exon 14 skipping Naïve MET+ & EGFRm NSCLC SANOVO 2L EGFR TKI ref.

The following is a summary of the clinical pipeline for our drug candidates, many of which are being investigated against multiple indications. 1. Savolitinib (HMPL-504), MET Inhibitor Savolitinib is a potent and selective inhibitor of MET, an enzyme which has been shown to function abnormally in many types of solid tumors. We designed savolitinib to address human metabolite-related renal toxicity, the primary issue that halted development of several other selective MET inhibitors. In clinical studies to date, savolitinib has shown promising signs of clinical efficacy in patients with MET gene alterations in NSCLC, PRCC, CRC, gastric cancer and prostate cancer with an acceptable safety profile. In global partnership with AstraZeneca, savolitinib has been studied in over 1,500 patients to date, both as a monotherapy and in combinations. For more information regarding our partnership with AstraZeneca, see “—Overview of Our Collaborations—AstraZeneca.” Mechanism of Action MET is a signaling pathway that has specific roles in normal mammalian growth and development. However, the MET pathway has also been shown to function abnormally in a range of different cancers, primarily through MET gene amplification, overexpression and gene mutations. The aberrant activation of MET has been demonstrated to be highly correlated in many cancer indications, including kidney, lung, gastric, colorectal, esophageal and brain cancer. It plays a major role in cancer pathogenesis (i.e., the development of the cancer), including tumor growth, survival, invasion, metastasis, the suppression of cell death as well as tumor angiogenesis. MET also plays a role in drug resistance in many tumor types. For instance, MET gene amplification has been found in NSCLC and CRC following anti-EGFR treatment, leading to drug resistance. Furthermore, MET dysregulation is considered to play a role in the immunosuppression and pathogenesis of kidney cancer. Savolitinib Research Background First generation selective MET inhibitors previously discovered by multinational pharmaceutical companies had positive pre- clinical data that supported their high MET selectivity and pharmacokinetic and toxicity profiles, but did not progress very far due to kidney toxicity. The issue appeared to be that certain metabolites of earlier compounds had dramatically reduced solubility and appeared to crystalize in the kidney, resulting in obstructive toxicity. With this understanding, we designed our compound, savolitinib (also known as AZD6094 and HMPL-504, formerly known as volitinib), differently while preserving high MET inhibition properties across multiple types of MET aberrations. Savolitinib has not shown any renal toxicity to date and does not appear to carry the same metabolite problems as the earlier selective MET compounds based on studies in over 1,500 patients conducted by AstraZeneca in global partnership with the company. 77 Savolitinib Pre-clinical Evidence In pre-clinical trials, savolitinib demonstrated strong in vitro activity against MET, affecting its downstream signaling targets and thus blocking the related cellular functions effectively, including proliferation, migration, invasion, scattering and the secretion of VEGF that plays a pivotal role in tumor angiogenesis. One of our key areas of focus in our pre-clinical trials is to achieve superior selectivity on a number of kinases. A commonly used quantitative measure of selectivity is through comparing enzyme IC50, which represents the concentration of a drug that is required for 50% inhibition of the target kinase in vitro and the plasma concentration required for obtaining 50% of a maximum effect in vivo. High selectivity is achieved with a very low IC50 for the target cells, and a very high IC50 for the healthy cells (approximately 100 times higher than for the target cells). IC50 is measured in nM (nano-mole, a microscopic unit of measurement for the number of small molecules required to deliver the desired inhibitory effect). In the MET enzymatic assay, savolitinib showed potent activity with IC50 of 5 nM. In a kinase selectivity screening with 274 kinases, savolitinib had potent activity against the MET Y1268T mutant (comparable to the wild-type), weaker activity against other MET mutants and almost no activity against all other kinases. Savolitinib was found to be approximately 1,000 times more potent to MET than the next non-MET kinase. Similarly, in cell-based assays measuring activity against MET phosphorylation, savolitinib demonstrated potent activity in both ligand-independent (gene amplified) and ligand-dependent (overexpressed) cells with IC50 at low nanomolar levels. In target related tumor cell function assays, savolitinib showed high potency with IC50 of less than 10 nM. Furthermore, savolitinib demonstrated cytotoxicity only on tumor cells that were MET gene amplified or MET overexpressed. In other cells, inhibition measurements demonstrated that IC50 amounts were over 30,000 nM, which is thousands of times higher than the IC50 on MET tumor cells. The data above suggest that (i) savolitinib has potent activity against tumor cell lines with MET gene amplification in the absence of hepatocyte growth factor, or HGF, indicating that there is HGF-independent MET activation in these cells; (ii) savolitinib has potent activity in tumor cell lines with MET overexpressed, but only in the presence of HGF, indicating HGF-dependent MET activation; and (iii) savolitinib has no activity in tumor cell lines with low MET overexpression/gene amplification, suggesting that savolitinib has strong kinase selectivity. Savolitinib Clinical Development As discussed below, we have tested, and are currently testing, savolitinib in partnership with AstraZeneca in multiple indications, both as a monotherapy and in combination with other targeted therapies. 78 Non-small Cell Lung Cancer We have two ongoing studies, which subject to positive clinical outcome, are designed to support NDA submission in NSCLC. The table below shows a summary of the clinical trials that we have recently completed and underway for savolitinib in NSCLC patients.

Savolitinib Monotherapy More than one third of the world’s lung cancer patients are in China and, among those with NSCLC, approximately 2-3% have tumors with MET exon 14 skipping alterations, representing an approximate incidence of 13,000 new patients per year in China. Importantly also, MET plays a role in multiple other solid tumors, with an estimated total incidence of 120,000 new patients per year in China. Phase II study of savolitinib monotherapy in NSCLC patients with MET exon 14 alteration (Status: Approved and launched; NCT02897479). We have completed a 70-patient Phase II registration-intent study in China of savolitinib as a monotherapy for MET exon 14 skipping NSCLC patients who have progressed following prior systemic therapy, or unable to receive chemotherapy. 79 At the ASCO annual meeting in June 2020, we presented interim data on 70 treated patients, of which 61 patients were efficacy evaluable at the data cut-off date of March 31, 2020. The overall data were encouraging, with efficacy in line with other selective MET inhibitors, despite the inclusion of patients with a more aggressive subtype (36% with pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma) and with tolerable safety. Efficacy measurements included the objective response rate, or ORR, (the percentage of patients in the study who show either partial response (tumor measurement reduction of greater than 30%) or complete response), disease control rate, median progression-free survival or PFS and median OS. At subsequent data cut-off date of August 3, 2020, in the 61 evaluable patients, ORR was 49.2% and disease control rate was 93.4%. Median duration of response was 8.3 months (95% confidence interval: 5.3-16.6). In the full analysis set of 70 patients, median PFS was 6.8 months (95% confidence interval: 4.2-9.6). Median OS was 12.5 months (95% confidence interval: 10.5-23.6). A 95% confidence interval means that there is a 95% chance that the results will be within the stated range. CTC grade 3 or above TEAEs, with greater than 5% incidence related to savolitinib treatment were peripheral edema (9%), increased aspartate aminotransferase (13%) and increased alanine aminotransferase (10%). Clinical data demonstrated an acceptable safety profile with an adverse events-related discontinuations rate of 14.3%. Results from this study were published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine and formed the basis for an NDA filing, which was approved by the NMPA in June 2021. The approval is conditional upon successful completion of a Phase III confirmatory study in the same patient population, which is expected to enroll approximately 160 patients from about 40 sites.

A drug with this type of activity is known as a third-generation EGFR inhibitor. In 2018, Tagrisso’s label was expanded to include previously untreated patients with EGFRm+ NSCLC. In December 2020, Tagrisso’s label was further expanded to include adjuvant therapy after tumor resection in EGFRm+ NSCLC patients. Tagrisso has been established as a new standard of care in the treatment of EGFRm+ NSCLC and has now been approved in over 80 countries. Understanding the mechanism of acquired resistance following Tagrisso treatment is a key clinical question to inform the next treatment choice. A portion of EGFRm+ TKI-resistant patients and a portion of T790M+ EGFRm+ TKI-resistant patients progress because of MET gene amplification. At the ESMO Congress in 2018, AstraZeneca presented the first results on the acquired resistance spectrum detected in patient plasma samples after progression in the first-line (FLAURA) and second-line T790M (AURA3) Phase III studies. MET amplification was among the most frequent mechanisms of acquired resistance to Tagrisso, with 15% of patients in the FLAURA study and 19% of patients in the AURA3 study exhibiting MET amplification after treatment with Tagrisso. Ongoing research with tissue (biopsy) samples will further elucidate the incidence of MET and other mechanisms in the development of resistance to EGFR inhibitors. Data presented in June 2017 at the ASCO by the Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center showed that about 30% (7/23 patients) of Tagrisso-resistant third-line NSCLC patients harbored MET gene amplification based on analysis of tissue samples. This third-line patient population was generally heavily pre-treated and highly complex from a molecular analysis standpoint, with the study showing that more than half of the MET gene amplification patients also harbored additional genetic alterations, including EGFR gene amplification and K-Ras mutations. As discussed in more detail below, we and AstraZeneca are studying savolitinib in combination with Tagrisso as a treatment choice for patients who have developed a resistance to TKI (primarily Tagrisso). The acceptance and uptake of Tagrisso indicates that the market potential for savolitinib in Tagrisso-resistant, NSCLC could be material. TATTON study: Phase Ib/II expansion studies of savolitinib in combination with Tagrisso in NSCLC EGFRm+ inhibitor refractory patients (Status: complete; NCT02143466). The TATTON study is a global exploratory Phase I/Ib study in NSCLC aiming to recruit patients with MET gene amplification who had progressed after prior treatment with EGFR inhibitors to support a decision on global Phase II/III registration strategy. This followed the completion of TATTON Part A, a Phase I study that established that a savolitinib and Tagrisso combination could be safe and well tolerated and also demonstrated preliminary signs of efficacy. In 11 evaluable patients who were MET positive, the ORR was 55% with a disease control rate of 100%. As of data cut-off on March 4, 2020, a total of over 220 patients had received the savolitinib plus the Tagrisso combination treatment across six TATTON treatment arms, Parts A, B1, B2, B3, C and D. Final analysis for the B and D parts of the study were most recently presented at the 2020 WCLC Worldwide Virtual Event held in January 2021, and interim data (data cut-off on March 29, 2019) were previously published in The Lancet Oncology in February 2020. As summarized below, the combination demonstrated an encouraging anti-tumor activity and an acceptable risk-benefit profile, regardless of dose. First and second-generation EGFRm+ inhibitor refractory patients with acquired resistance driven by MET amplification TATTON Part B2 tested patients who were T790M negative with no prior third-generation EGFR TKI treatment. Of the 51 patients who received treatment (48 efficacy evaluable), 33 patients had confirmed responses (65% of treated patients; 69% of evaluable patients) with 45 patients experiencing disease control (88% of treated patients; 94% of evaluable patients). The median PFS was 9.1 months (95% confidence interval: 5.5-12.8 months). Pooled CTC grade 3 or above TEAEs in Part B of the study with greater than 5% incidence independent of causality were decreased neutrophil count (7%), increased aspartate aminotransferase (6%), increased alanine aminotransferase (5%), and pneumonia (5%). TATTON Part B3 tested patients who were T790M positive with no prior third-generation EGFR TKI treatment. Of the 18 patients who received treatment, 12 patients had confirmed responses (67%) with 18 patients experiencing disease control (100%). The median PFS was 11.1 months (95% confidence interval: 4.1 months – 22.1 months). 81 In late 2017, the TATTON Part D study was initiated to study Tagrisso combined with a lower savolitinib dose (300 mg once daily) in the context of maximizing long-term tolerability of the combination for patients who could be in poor condition and/or on the combination for long periods of time. Of the 42 patients who received treatment (40 efficacy evaluable), 26 patients had confirmed responses (62% of all patients; 65% of evaluable patients) with 39 patients experiencing disease control (93% of all patients; 98% of evaluable patients). The median PFS was 9.0 months (95% confidence interval: 5.6-12.7 months). CTC grade 3 or above TEAEs in Part D of the study with greater than 5% incidence independent of causality were pneumonia (10%), drug hypersensitivity (7%), pulmonary embolism (5%), diarrhea (5%), myalgia (5%) and generalized edema (5%). Overall the combination regimen of savolitinib 300 mg and Tagrisso was tolerable. In Part D of the study, there was lower incidence of grade ≥ 3 AEs and SAEs as compared to Part B. The TATTON Part D study demonstrated that a lower dose did not impair clinical efficacy, while maintaining a better tolerability profile. The results led to the selection of the 300 mg savolitinib plus 80 mg Tagrisso combination dose for the SAVANNAH study, and two additional cohorts of savolitinib 300 mg twice daily dose (BID) and 600 mg once daily dose (QD) plus 80 mg Tagrisso combination doses are recruiting, as discussed below. Tagrisso or another experimental third-generation EGFRm TKI refractory patients with acquired resistance driven by MET amplification The TATTON Part B1 study also enrolled NSCLC patients that had progressed after treatment with a third-generation EGFR inhibitor as a result of MET gene amplification acquired resistance. These patients were recruited prior to the April 2018 FDA approval of Tagrisso as a first-line treatment and the January 2019 update to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines that state that Tagrisso is the preferred first-line treatment for patients with EGFR mutation regardless of pre-treatment T790M mutation status. Savolitinib in combination with Tagrisso from the TATTON Part B1 study showed promising data. Of the 69 patients that had progressed on Tagrisso monotherapy and harbored MET amplification (60 patients were efficacy evaluable), there were 23 patients with confirmed responses (33% of all patients; 38% of evaluable patients) with 52 patients experiencing disease control (75% of all patients; 87% of evaluable patients). The median PFS was 5.5 months (95% confidence interval: 4.1-7.7 months). The savolitinib and Tagrisso combination is being studied in second line setting as one of several treatment arms in the ORCHARD study. ORCHARD is a global, phase II, open-label, multi-centre, biomarker-directed platform study in adult patients with locally advanced/metastatic EGFRm NSCLC whose disease has progressed on first-line Tagrisso monotherapy. Initial results from interim analysis demonstrated preliminary activities of this combination in Tagrisso refractory patients. Of the 20 patients enrolled, 17 were evaluable for confirmed response analysis at data cut-off, with an ORR of 41% (7/17). Safety profile was consistent with the known profiles of Tagrisso and savolitinib, and no new safety signals were identified. 82 Savolitinib plus Tagrisso combination showing effect in EGFR refractory patients who are either Tagrisso refractory (ORCHARD, TATTON Part B1) or Tagrisso naïve (TATTON Parts B2, B3, D) (n=51) (n=18) (n=42) Notes: [1] Data cut-off as of January 21, 2021; [2] Data cut-off as of March 4, 2020; [3] Most patients were enrolled to Part B1, B2, B3 on 600 mg savolitinib, prior to weight-based dosing implementation, but following a protocol amendment in response to a safety signal of hypersensitivity, the final 21 patients enrolled in Part B were dosed with savolitinib by body weight as follows: patients who weighed ≤55 kg (n=8) received 300 mg daily and those weighing >55 kg (n=13) received 600 mg daily; Best response data are for patients who had an opportunity to have two follow-up scans; * 80% CI; CI = confidence interval; n = number of patients; 2L = second line; 2L+ = second line above; NR = not reached; ORR = objective response rate; DoR = duration of response; PFS = progression free survival; and EGFR-TKI = epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase; neg. = negative; pos. = positive Source: [1] Yu H.A. et al. “ORCHARD osimertinib + savolitinib interim analysis: A biomarker-directed phase II platform study in patients (pts) with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose disease has progressed on first-line (1L) osimertinib” Presented at the 2021 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Virtual Congress on September 13, 2021.

Based on the encouraging results of the multiple TATTON studies, we and AstraZeneca have initiated a global Phase II study of savolitinib in combination with Tagrisso in EGFRm+ NSCLC patients with MET gene amplification who have progressed following first or second-line Tagrisso therapy. The SAVANNAH study is a single-arm study in North and South America, Europe and Asia. We plan to submit results for presentation at a scientific conference in 2022. In addition to the global Phase III currently under preparation to commence enrollment in mid-2022, we continue to evaluate the possibility of using the SAVANNAH study as the basis for U.S. accelerated approval. The SAVANNAH Study Design: Addressing Tagrisso Resistance Through Combination Therapies 2L+ LOCALLY ADVANCED / METASTATIC EGFRM+ NSCLC PATIENTS Progression on 1L or 2L TAGRISSO; No prior chemo or immunotherapy; (central FISH/IHC or pre-existing local NGS); No prior MET inhibitor therapy; Stable/asymptomatic CNS mets. permitted; ECOG performance status 0-1.

Source: HUTCHMED. SANOVO study: China Phase III study of combination with Targrisso in naïve NSCLC patients with EGFR mutant and MET positive (Status: ongoing; NCT05009836). We have initiated SANOVO, a China Phase III study of savolitinib in combination with AstraZeneca’s third-generation, irreversible epidermal growth factor receptor TKI, Targrisso as a first-line treatment in certain NSCLC patients whose tumors harbor EGFR mutations and overexpress MET. The Phase III trial is a blinded, randomized, controlled study in previously untreated patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with activating EGFR mutations and MET overexpression. The study will evaluate Targrisso in combination with savolitinib comparing to Targrisso alone, a standard of care treatment option for these patients. The primary endpoint of the study is median progression free survival as assessed by investigators. Other endpoints include median progression-free survival assessed by an independent review committee, median overall survival, ORR, duration of response, disease control rate, time to response and safety. The first patient was dosed in September 2021. 84 SACHI study: China Phase III study of combination with Targrisso in 2L EGFR TKI refractory, MET amplified NSCLC patients (Status: ongoing; NCT05015608). We have initiated SACHI, a China Phase III study of savolitinib in combination with Tagrisso. The Phase III trial is a multi-center, open-label, randomized, controlled study in patients with locally advanced or metastatic EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC with MET amplification after disease progression on EGFR inhibitor therapy. The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of savolitinib in combination with Tagrisso, compared to platinum-based doublet-chemotherapy (pemetrexed plus cisplatin or carboplatin), the standard of care treatment option in this setting. The primary endpoint of the study is median PFS as assessed by investigators. Other endpoints include median PFS assessed by an independent review committee, median overall survival, ORR, duration of response, disease control rate, time to response, and safety. The first patient was dosed in November 2021. 85 Kidney Cancer The table below shows a summary of the clinical trials that we have recently completed or are underway for savolitinib in kidney cancer patients. Current and Recent Clinical Trials of Savolitinib in Kidney Cancer Treatment Savolitinib + Imfinzi Sponsors/Partners AstraZeneca and HUTCHMED Savolitinib + Imfinzi Savolitinib + Imfinzi Queen Mary University of London, Vall d’Hebron Institute of Oncology, AstraZeneca Queen Mary University of London, Vall d’Hebron Institute of Oncology, AstraZeneca CALYPSO: Clear cell RCC; VEGFR TKI refractory Name, Line, Patient Focus SAMETA: MET-driven, unresectable and locally advanced or metastatic PRCC CALYPSO: PRCC Sites Global Phase III Status/Plan Ongoing NCT # NCT05043090 U.K./Spain U.K./Spain II II Data updated at ASCO 2021 NCT02819596 Ongoing NCT02819596 Notes: PRCC = papillary renal cell carcinoma; RCC = renal cell carcinoma; VEGFR TKI refractory = resistant to prior VEGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment; Global = more than two countries; PFS = progression-free survival; and MET = mesenchymal epithelial transition receptor. MET is a key genetic driver in RCC, and emerging evidence suggests that combining immunotherapies with a MET inhibitor could enhance anti-tumor activity. PRCC is a subtype of kidney cancer, representing about 15% of patients, with no treatments approved for patients with tumors that harbor MET-driven alterations. During an Australian Phase I study, our investigators noted positive outcomes among PRCC patients with a strong correlation to MET gene amplification status. Out of a total of eight PRCC patients in our Australia Phase I study who were treated with various doses of savolitinib, three achieved confirmed partial responses. A further three of these eight PRCC patients achieved stable disease, which means patients without partial response but with a tumor measurement increase of less than 20%. This aggregate ORR of 38% was very encouraging for PRCC, which has no effective approved treatments. These responses were also durable as demonstrated by a patient who has been on the therapy for over 30 months and had tumor measurement reduction of greater than 85%. Importantly, the level of tumor response among these PRCC patients correlated closely with the level of MET gene amplification. The patients with consistent MET gene amplification across the whole tumor responded most to savolitinib, and with those patients with the highest level of MET gene amplification responding most to the treatment. Savolitinib and Immunotherapy Combinations Immunotherapy combinations are rapidly changing the treatment landscape in kidney cancer. Immune checkpoints such as PD-L1 are sometimes used by cancer cells to avoid being attacked by the immune system. As such, drugs that target these checkpoints are being developed or marketed as cancer treatments. Imfinzi is an anti-PD-L1 antibody owned by AstraZeneca. Anti-PD-L1 antibodies have been associated with clinical benefits in metastatic RCC, and MET dysregulation has been considered to play an important role in PRCC pathogenesis (including in our savolitinib Phase I and Phase II monotherapy studies) and is a mechanism of resistance against kinase inhibitors in clear cell RCC. Moreover, it is believed that the MET signaling pathway has a complex interplay with the immune system, including correlation with PD-L1 expression, immune suppression through angiogenesis and many other facets of the immune system. Our CALYPSO study discussed below aims to explore and potentially confirm this interplay. CALYPSO study: Phase II study of savolitinib in combination with Imfinzi in both PRCC and clear cell RCC patients (Status: dose expansion ongoing; NCT02819596). The CALYPSO study is an investigator-initiated open-label Phase II study of savolitinib in combination with Imfinzi. The study is evaluating the safety and efficacy of the savolitinib and Imfinzi combination in both PRCC and clear cell RCC patients at sites in the U.K. and Spain. 86 Interim results of the PRCC cohort of the CALYPSO study were most recently presented at the 2021 ASCO annual meeting and showed encouraging efficacy across all patients, both MET+ and MET-. In the 41 patients who were selected regardless of PD-L1 or MET status, ORR was 29% (12/41), while median PFS was 4.9 months (95% confidence interval: 2.5-10.0 months). Median OS was 14.1 months (95% confidence interval: 7.3-30.7 months). For the 14 patients whose tumors are MET-driven, ORR was 57% (8/14), median PFS was 10.5 months (95% confidence interval: 2.9-15.7), and median OS was 27.4 months (95% confidence interval: 7.3-NR). Tolerability was consistent with established single agent safety profiles. In the analysis previously presented at ASCO’s Genitourinary Cancers Symposium in 2020, there were 13 treatment related CTC grade 3 or above TEAEs that occurred in more than three patients, with edema (10%), nausea (5%) and transaminitis (5%) being most frequent. We and AstraZeneca continue to explore development of the savolitinib-Imfinzi combination in PRCC patients. SAMETA study: Phase III in combination with Imfinzi PD-L1 inhibitor in MET-driven, unresectable and locally advanced or metastatic PRCC (Status: ongoing; NCT05043090) The Phase III trial is an open-label, randomized, controlled study in treatment-naïve patients with MET-driven, unresectable and locally advanced or metastatic PRCC, to evaluate the efficacy and safety of savolitinib in combination with Imfinzi compared to single agent Imfinzi or single agent Sutent, an oral multi-kinase inhibitor considered as the standard of care treatment option in PRCC. The primary endpoint of the study is median PFS. Other endpoints include median OS, ORR, duration of response, 6-months and 12-months DCR, time to second progression, safety, pharmacokinetics and quality of life. The first patient was dosed in October 2021. Gastric Cancer The table below shows a summary of our clinical trial for savolitinib in gastric cancer patients. Clinical Trials of Savolitinib in Gastric Cancer Treatment Savolitinib monotherapy Sponsors/Partners HUTCHMED and Name, Line, Patient Focus VIKTORY: Gastric cancer Sites China / South Samsung Medical Center (MET amplification) Korea Savolitinib monotherapy HUTCHMED 2L+ gastric cancer with MET amplification China Phase Ib/II Status/Plan Completed. Support decision to progress into Phase II registration intent study Ongoing II registration intent NCT # NCT01985555/ NCT02449551 NCT04923932 Phase Ib/II study of savolitinib monotherapy in MET amplified gastric cancer in China (Status: completed; NCT01985555) Preliminary results of the China study were presented at the 2017 Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology, or CSCO, for the efficacy evaluable MET gene amplified patients. Based on confirmed and unconfirmed partial responses, the ORR was 43% (3/7) and disease control rate was 86% (6/7), with ORR of 14% (3/22) and disease control rate of 41% (9/22) among the overall efficacy evaluable aberrant MET set of patients with MET amplification (n=7) and MET overexpression (n=15). As of the data cut-off, the longest duration of treatment was in excess of two years. Savolitinib monotherapy was determined to be safe and well tolerated in patients with advanced gastric cancer. CTC grade 3 or above TEAEs with greater than 5% incidence included abnormal hepatic function in 13% (4/31), gastrointestinal bleeding or decreased appetite in 10% (3/31 each), and diarrhea or gastrointestinal perforation in 6% (2/31 each). This China study concluded that savolitinib monotherapy demonstrated promising anti-tumor efficacy in gastric cancer patients with MET gene amplification and that the potential benefit to these patients warranted further exploration, with enrollment continuing. 87 VIKTORY Phase II study of savolitinib in MET amplified gastric cancer in South Korea (Status: completed; NCT02449551) The VIKTORY study is a biomarker-based, Phase II umbrella trial in gastric cancer conducted by the Samsung Medical Center in South Korea. Patients were allocated to one of 12 biomarker-driven arms, based on a master screening protocol with tissue-based molecular analyses. Patients that tested positive for MET amplification or overexpression were treated with either savolitinib monotherapy or a combination of savolitinib and Taxotere. A total of 715 gastric cancer patients were successfully sequenced and MET amplification was observed in 3.5% of these patients (25/715). Of the 10 associated clinical trials under the VIKTORY umbrella, the highest ORR was observed in the MET amplification arm in patients treated with savolitinib monotherapy, which reported an ORR of 50% (10/20, 95% confidence interval: 28.0-71.9) and met pre-specified 6-week PFS rates. While the savolitinib and Taxotere combination was well tolerated, the VIKTORY study investigators decided to stop enrollment in the two combination cohorts in order to direct patients to the savolitinib monotherapy arm of the VIKTORY study as discussed above. The VIKTORY study investigators have concluded that encouraging clinical efficacy of savolitinib in MET-amplified gastric cancer warrants further study. Phase II study of savolitinib with potential for registration intent in 2L+ gastric cancer with MET amplification (Status: ongoing; NCT04923932) This Phase II registration-intent study is a two-stage and single-arm study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of savolitinib in locally advanced or metastatic GC or GEJ patients whose disease progressed after at least one line of standard therapy. The primary endpoint is ORR as assessed by an independent review committee. Other endpoints include 12-week and 6-month progression-free survival rates, median progression-free survival, duration of response, disease control rate, median overall survival, safety, pharmacokinetics and quality of life. The first patient was dosed in July 2021. Subject to the results of the first stage of this study, we will discuss with the CDE of NMPA the appropriate approach and necessary criteria for registration. Partnership with AstraZeneca In December 2011, we entered into a global licensing, co-development, and commercialization agreement for savolitinib with AstraZeneca. As noted above, given the complexity of many of the signal transduction pathways and resistance mechanisms in oncology, the industry is increasingly studying combinations of targeted therapies (TKI, monoclonal antibodies and immunotherapies) and chemotherapy as potentially the best approach to treating this complex and constantly mutating disease. Based on savolitinib’s clinical progress as a highly selective MET inhibitor in a number of cancers, in August 2016, December 2020 and November 2021, we and AstraZeneca amended our global licensing, co-development, and commercialization agreement for savolitinib. We believe that AstraZeneca’s portfolio of proprietary targeted therapies is well suited to be used in combinations with savolitinib, and we are studying combinations with Tagrisso (EGFRm+, T790M+) and Imfinzi (PD-L1). These combinations of multiple global first-in-class compounds are difficult to replicate, and we believe represent a significant opportunity for us and AstraZeneca. For more information regarding our partnership with AstraZeneca, see “—Overview of Our Collaborations—AstraZeneca.” 2. Surufatinib (HMPL-012), VEGFR 1, 2 and 3, FGFR1 and CSF-1R Inhibitor Surufatinib is a novel, oral angio-immuno kinase inhibitor that selectively inhibits the tyrosine kinase activity associated with VEGFR and FGFR, both of which have been shown to be involved in tumor angiogenesis, and CSF-1R, which plays a key role in regulating tumor-associated macrophages, promoting the body’s immune response against tumor cells. Surufatinib has been studied in clinical trials with around 1,200 patients to date, both as a monotherapy and in combinations, and is approved in China. We currently retain all rights to surufatinib worldwide. Initial approvals for surufatinib in China are for the treatment of advanced NET patients. NETs present in the body’s organ system with fragmented epidemiology. Surufatinib’s ability to inhibit angiogenesis, block the accumulation of tumor associated macrophages and promote infiltration of effector T cells into tumors could help improve the anti-tumor activity of PD-1 antibodies. Several combination studies with PD-1 antibodies have shown promising data. 88 Mechanism of Action Both VEGFR and FGFR signaling pathways can mediate tumor angiogenesis. CSF-1R plays an important role in the functions of macrophages. Recently, the roles in increasing tumor immune evasion of VEGFR, FGFR in regulation of T cells, tumor-associated macrophages and myeloid-derived suppressor cells have been demonstrated. Therefore, blockade of tumor angiogenesis and tumor immune evasion by simultaneously targeting VEGFR 1, 2 and 3, FGFR1 and CSF-1R kinases may represent a promising approach for oncology therapy. Surufatinib Pre-clinical Evidence Surufatinib inhibited VEGFR 1, 2, and 3, FGFR1 and CSF-1R kinases with IC50 in a range of 1 nM to 24 nM. It also strongly blocked VEGF-induced VEGFR2 phosphorylation in HEK293 cells and CSF-1R phosphorylation in RAW264.7 cells with an IC50 of 2 nM and 79 nM, respectively. Surufatinib also reduced VEGF- or FGF-stimulated human umbilical vein endothelial cell proliferation with an IC50 < 50 nM. In animal studies, a single oral dose of surufatinib inhibited VEGF-stimulated VEGFR2 phosphorylation in lung tissues of nude mice in an exposure-dependent manner. Furthermore, elevation of FGF23 levels in plasma 24 hours post dosing suggested suppression of FGFR signaling. Surufatinib demonstrated potent tumor growth inhibition in multiple human xenograft models and decreased cluster of differentiation 31 expression remarkably, suggesting strong inhibition on angiogenesis through VEGFR and FGFR signaling. In a syngeneic murine colon cancer model, surufatinib demonstrated moderate tumor growth inhibition after single-agent treatment. Flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry analysis revealed an increase of certain T cells and a significant reduction in certain tumor- associated macrophages, including CSF-1R mutation positive tumor-associated macrophages in tumor tissue, indicating surufatinib has a strong effect on CSF-1R. Interestingly, a combination of surufatinib with a PD-L1 antibody resulted in enhanced anti-tumor effect. These results suggested that surufatinib has a strong effect in modulating angiogenesis and cancer immunity. 89 Surufatinib Clinical Trials We currently have various clinical trials of surufatinib as a monotherapy and in combination with checkpoint inhibitors ongoing or expected to begin in the near term. Neuroendocrine Tumors Neuroendocrine tumors begin in the specialized cells of the body’s neuroendocrine system. Cells have traits of both hormone- producing endocrine cells and nerve cells. Neuroendocrine tumors are found throughout the body’s organ system and have complex and fragmented epidemiology with about 65-75% of NETs originating in the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas, 25-35% in the lung or bronchus, and a further 20-30% in other organs or unknown origins. In China, there are an estimated approximately 34,000 new patients of advanced NETs per year and were potentially over 300,000 patients living with NET in China in 2021. NETs can be functional, releasing hormones and peptides that cause symptoms like diarrhea and flushing, or non-functional with no symptoms. Early-stage NETs, which are often functional, can be treated with somatostatin analogue subcutaneous injections, which are approved and reimbursed in China and alleviate symptoms and slow NET growth, but have limited tumor reduction efficacy. Advanced NETs grow more quickly. In China, Sutent is approved in pancreatic NET while Afinitor, an mTOR inhibitor, is approved in non-functional NETs in the pancreas, lung and gastrointestinal tract. These approvals, however, cover only about half of advanced neuroendocrine tumor patients. The table below shows a summary of the clinical trials that we have completed or are in planning for surufatinib in neuroendocrine cancer patients. Our Phase Ib study in planning for the U.S. and Europe will also include expansion cohorts to explore surufatinib in patients with BTC and sarcoma.

In this study, patients were randomized at a 2:1 ratio to receive either an oral dose of 300 mg of surufatinib or a placebo once daily on a 28-day treatment cycle. The primary endpoint was PFS, with secondary endpoints including ORR, disease control rate, time to response, duration of response, OS, safety and tolerability. A 198-patient interim analysis was conducted on SANET-ep in mid-2019, leading the independent data monitoring committee, or IDMC, to determine that it had met the pre-defined primary endpoint of PFS and should be stopped early. The positive results of this trial were highlighted in an oral presentation at the 2019 European Society for Medical Oncology Congress, and subsequently published in The Lancet Oncology in September 2020. Median PFS per investigator assessment was 9.2 months for patients treated with surufatinib, as compared to 3.8 months for patients in the placebo group (HR 0.334; 95% CI: 0.223, 0.499; p<0.0001). Efficacy was also supported by a blinded independent image review committee assessment. Surufatinib was well-tolerated in this study and the safety profile was consistent with observations in prior clinical studies. CTC grade 3 or above TEAEs in this study with greater than 5% incidence were hypertension (36%), proteinuria (19%) and anemia (7%).

Lancet Oncol. 2020;21(11):1500-1512. doi:10.1016/S1470-2045(20)30496- 4. In late 2020, surufatinib was granted approval for drug registration by the NMPA for the treatment of non-pancreatic NET and launched in mid-January 2021 within three weeks of approval. We believe the benefits of surufatinib as a monotherapy to patients with non-pancreatic NETs in China could be significant as compared to the minimal treatment alternatives currently available to them. SANET-p study: Phase III study of surufatinib monotherapy in pancreatic NETs (Status: completed and product launched in China for treatment of pancreatic NETs; NCT02589821) In 2016, we initiated the SANET-p study, which is a Phase III study in China in patients with low- or intermediate-grade, advanced pancreatic NETs. In this study, patients are randomized at a 2:1 ratio to receive either an oral dose of 300 mg of surufatinib or a placebo once daily on a 28-day treatment cycle. The primary endpoint is PFS, with secondary endpoints including ORR, disease control rate, time to response, duration of response, OS, safety and tolerability. In early 2020, an interim analysis was conducted on SANET-p, leading the IDMC to recommend that the study stop early as the pre-defined primary endpoint of PFS had already been met. Investigator-assessed median PFS was 10.9 months for patients treated with surufatinib, as compared to 3.7 months for patients in the placebo group (HR 0.491; 95% CI: 0.319-0.755; p=0.0011). ORRs were 19.2% for the efficacy evaluable patients in the surufatinib group versus 1.9% for the placebo group, with a DCR of 80.8% versus 66.0%, respectively. Most patients in the trial had Grade 2 disease with heavy tumor burden, including liver metastasis and multiple organ involvement. Efficacy was also supported by blinded independent image review committee assessment, with a median PFS of 13.9 months for surufatinib as compared to 4.6 months for placebo (HR 0.339; 95% CI 0.209-0.549; p<0.0001). The safety profile of surufatinib was manageable and consistent with observations in prior studies. Treatment was well tolerated for most patients, with discontinuation rates as a result of TEAEs of 10.6% in the surufatinib group as compared to 6.8% in the placebo group. CTC grade 3 or above TEAEs in this study with greater than 5% incidence were hypertension (38%), proteinuria (10%) and hypertriglyceridemia (7%).

Lancet Oncol. 2020;21(11):1489-1499. doi:10.1016/S1470-2045(20)30493-9. Surufatinib was granted approval for drug registration by the NMPA for the treatment of advanced pancreatic NET and launched in June 2021. We believe the benefits of surufatinib as a monotherapy to patients with pancreatic NETs in China could be significant as compared to the alternatives currently available to them. We believe that surufatinib is currently the only approved targeted therapy that can address and treat all subtypes of NETs. Global development of surufatinib in NET: U.S. NDA and EU MAA under review The U.S. NDA and EU MAA are supported by data from two positive Phase III studies of surufatinib in patients with pancreatic and extra-pancreatic NET in China (SANET-p and SANET-ep both previously reported in The Lancet Oncology), and a surufatinib Phase Ib study conducted in U.S. NET patients (N=107 for safety and N=67 for efficacy). In June 2021, the U.S. FDA accepted our filing of the NDA for surufatinib for the treatment of pancreatic and extra-pancreatic (non-pancreatic) NETs. Surufatinib received fast track designation in April 2020 for the treatment of pancreatic and extra-pancreatic NET. Orphan Drug Designation for pancreatic NET was also granted in November 2019. In addition, we have initiated an expanded access program in the United States for compassionate use by patients with NET with limited therapeutic options. Regulatory clearance of this program has been granted by the U.S. FDA and this program is open for site activation. U.S. FDA NDA review, as well as the clinical site inspections and pre-approval inspections of our manufacturing facilities, are ongoing. The PDUFA goal date for the FDA’s completion of review is April 30, 2022. Timing of completion of the NDA review is subject to FDA scheduling limitations which are contingent on COVID–19 travel restrictions and security requirements for foreign visitors. Remaining inspections must be completed before regulatory action can be taken. We have also submitted the EMA MAA for surufatinib, which was validated and accepted in July 2021, for the treatment of both pancreatic and non-pancreatic NET. The 120-day assessment has been completed, and we are now entering the later stages of MAA review. In addition, we initiated a registration-enabling bridging study in NET patients in Japan in September 2021. Phase Ib study of surufatinib monotherapy in heavily pretreated progressive NETs (Status: ongoing; NCT02549937) We are conducting a multi-center, open-label, Phase Ib clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of surufatinib in U.S. patients, which has established the U.S. recommended Phase II dose, or RP2D, to be 300 mg, the same as that in China. At the 2021 ASCO annual meeting, preliminary data presented from the two NET cohorts in the ongoing U.S. Phase Ib trial for surufatinib demonstrated efficacy comparable to China data in heavily pretreated patients, including Afinitor and Sutent, with pancreatic or non-pancreatic NETs. The safety profile was also consistent with the larger pool of surufatinib safety data. As of June 30, 2020, 16 patients with pancreatic NET were treated for a median of 8.5 months (range 2-23) and 16 patients with non-pancreatic NET were treated for a median of 8 months (range of 2-15). All 32 patients have pretreated progressive NETs (median prior lines of treatment: 3; range 1-8). Confirmed response was observed in 18.8% of pancreatic, NET, and disease control was observed in 87.5% of patients. In the non-pancreatic NET cohort, confirmed response was observed in 6.3% of the patients and disease control was observed in 93.8% of patients. Median PFS was 11.5 months for patients in both cohorts (95% confidence interval: 6.5-17.5). 93 US Phase Ib: Encouraging Preliminary Efficacy in Afinitor and Sutent Refractory/Intolerant NET surufatinib everolimus sunitinib Other Tx 8 12 10 24 3 3 2 X 15 3 11 2 3 2 5 7 8 36 18 7 8 24 12 4 10 12 8 15 6 6 3 4 7 8 11 9 18 X X 2 2 1 3 2 6 6 X X X 6 14 2 3 1 36 12 24 32 12 3 22 5 12 36 -48 -36 -24 -12 0 24 22 12 12 6 24 PR uPR X X X (n=3) (n=1) Treatment ongoing (n=5) Rx stop – AE (n=1) Rx stop – PD (n=7) Rx stop – Other (n=3) PR uPR X 4 12 6 18 6 X 4 13 12 12 PR X PR 12 3 24 48 8 X 8 X 36 48 60 72 84 Months since treatment of everolimus (AFINITOR®) or sunitinib (SUTENT®) Notes: Data cut-off as of April 21, 2020.

Efficacy and safety of surufatinib in United States (US) patients (pts) with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Journal of Clinical Oncology 2020 38:15_suppl, 4610-4610. Bridging study of surufatinib monotherapy in heavily pretreated progressive NETs (Status: ongoing; NCT05077384) In September 2021, we initiated a Japan registration-enabling bridging study for surufatinib to support the registration of surufatinib in the treatment of patients with advanced NETs. Based on dialogue with the PMDA, it was agreed that the surufatinib Japanese NDA for the treatment of advanced NETs include results from a pivotal study to be conducted in Japan, to complement the registration data package supporting the NDA to the U.S. FDA and the MAA to the EMA. This Japan study is a two-stage, open label study of surufatinib where approximately 34 patients are expected to be recruited. In part 1 of the study, the safety and tolerability of surufatinib 300mg once daily after 28 days of treatment will be assessed in patients with relapsed/refractory non-hematological malignancies; pharmacokinetics and anti-tumor activity of surufatinib are secondary endpoints. In Part 2 of the study, efficacy will be assessed in patients with locally advanced or metastatic NETs; the primary outcome measure is ORR. The secondary outcome measures include DCR, PFS, DoR, safety, and pharmacokinetics. 94 Biliary Tract Cancer BTC (also known as cholangiocarcinoma) is a heterogeneous group of rare malignancies arising from the biliary tract epithelia. Gemzar, a type of chemotherapy, is the currently approved first-line therapy for BTC patients, with median survival of less than 12 months for patients with unresectable or metastatic disease at diagnosis. As a result, this is an unmet medical need for patients who have progressed on chemotherapy. There is currently no standard of care for these patients. Surufatinib may offer a new targeted treatment option in this tumor type. The table below shows a summary of the clinical studies that we have conducted for surufatinib in BTC patients. Based on the emerging data from our Phase II cohort of the surufatinib combination plus Tuoyi in BTC, we are now prioritizing the combination over surufatinib monotherapy for further development.

Phase Ib/IIa surufatinib monotherapy in chemotherapy refractory BTC – China (Status: completed; NCT02966821) In early 2017, we began a Phase Ib/IIa proof-of-concept study in patients with BTC. Preliminary efficacy led us to begin the Phase II/III study discussed below. At the 2021 ASCO annual meeting, results of this study were disclosed. Surufatinib demonstrated moderate efficacy and favorable tolerability profile. After 16 weeks of treatment, 46% of the patients did not experience progression of their disease. Median PFS was 3.7 months and median OS was 6.9 months. The most common Grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events were blood bilirubin increase (21%), hypertension (18%), and proteinuria (13%). Phase IIb study of surufatinib monotherapy in second line BTC – China (Status: completed; NCT03873532) In March 2019, based on preliminary Phase Ib/IIa data, we initiated a registration-intent Phase IIb/III study comparing surufatinib with capecitabine in patients with unresectable or metastatic BTC. Enrollment for the Phase IIb portion (80 patients) of this study was completed in late 2020. Surufatinib Combinations with Checkpoint Inhibitors Surufatinib’s ability to inhibit angiogenesis, block the accumulation of tumor associated macrophages and promote infiltration of effector T cells into tumors, could help improve the anti-tumor activity of PD-1 antibodies. The table below shows a summary of the clinical trials that we have underway or in planning for surufatinib in combination with checkpoint inhibitors. 95 Clinical Trials of Surufatinib with Checkpoint Inhibitors Treatment Surufatinib and Tuoyi (PD-1) Surufatinib and Tuoyi (PD-1) Sponsors/Partners Name, Line, Patient Focus Sites HUTCHMED and Junshi HUTCHMED and Junshi SURTORI-01: neuroendocrine carcinoma China China Neuroendocrine neoplasms Phase III II Surufatinib and Tuoyi (PD-1) Surufatinib and Tuoyi (PD-1) HUTCHMED and Junshi HUTCHMED and Junshi BTC Gastric cancer Surufatinib and Tuoyi (PD-1) Surufatinib and Tuoyi (PD-1) HUTCHMED and Junshi HUTCHMED and Junshi Thyroid cancer Small cell lung cancer Surufatinib and Tuoyi (PD-1) Surufatinib and Tuoyi (PD-1) Surufatinib and Tuoyi (PD-1) HUTCHMED and Junshi HUTCHMED and Junshi HUTCHMED and Junshi Soft tissue sarcoma Endometrial cancer Esophageal cancer China China China China China China China II II II II II II II Surufatinib and Tuoyi (PD-1) Surufatinib and tislelizumab (PD-1) HUTCHMED and Junshi HUTCHMED and BeiGene NSCLC Solid tumors China U.S./ Europe II Ib/II Status/Plan Ongoing Ongoing; data presented at ASCO 2021 and ESMO IO 2021.

We completed a Phase I dose-finding study and presented the data at the AACR Conference in April 2020. The data showed that surufatinib plus Tuoyi were well tolerated with no unexpected safety signals observed. At the recommend Phase 2 dose, a DCR of 100% and ORR of 63.6% were reported for 11 efficacy evaluable patients, with 2 unconfirmed partial responses. Surufatinib plus Tuoyi showed encouraging antitumor activity in patients with advanced solid tumors. A Phase II China study is enrolling approximately 260 patients in nine solid tumor indications, including NENs, BTC, gastric cancer, thyroid cancer, small cell lung cancer, soft tissue sarcoma, endometrial cancer, esophageal cancer and NSCLC. In 2021, we presented encouraging preliminary data on several of these surufatinib-Tuoyi combination cohorts at CSCO and ESMO IO. These have led to the initiation of the first Phase III trial combining surufatinib with a PD-1 antibody, the SURTORI-01 study in NEC, and we are currently considering further registration studies in gastric cancer, small cell lung cancer and esophageal cancer. NEC (subset of NENs) cohort – At the 2021 CSCO annual meeting, we presented data, with a cutoff date of July 30, 2021 for all 21 enrolled NEC patients that were efficacy evaluable. Average duration of treatment was 4.9 months (range 1-19) and median OS was 10.3 months (95% CI: 9.1-not reached). The median PFS was 4.14 months (95% CI: 1.5-5.5) and median DoR was 4.1 months (95% CI: 3.0-not reached). The confirmed ORR was 23.8% (95% CI: 8.2-47.2) and DCR was 71.4% (95% CI: 47.8-88.7). All patients experienced treatment-related adverse events, including 9 (42.9%) who experienced grade 3 or above treatment-related adverse events. 1 (4.8%) patient reported treatment-related serious adverse events. Hyperglycemia (3 patients, 14.3%), hypertension (2 patients, 9.5%) and hypertriglyceridemia (2 patients, 9.5%) were the most commonly (more than one patient) reported grade 3 or above treatment- related adverse events. No treatment-related adverse events led to treatment discontinuation or treatment-related deaths. In September 2021, we initiated a Phase III study to evaluate the combination compared with Folfiri to treat patients with advanced NEC who have progression of disease or intolerable toxicity after previous first-line chemotherapy. It is a randomized, controlled, open- label, multi-center study where approximately 200 patients are expected to be enrolled. For the study group, all patients will receive study treatment in a 21-day cycle. The primary outcome measure is OS. We are the sponsor and responsible for the study’s execution. We and Junshi Biosciences are jointly funding the study. At the 2021 ASCO annual meeting, encouraging preliminary data were disclosed for the surufatinib and Tuoyi combination in the NEC and GC cohorts. For the 20 patients in the NEC cohort who received an average of 5 cycles of treatments and are efficacy evaluable, ORR was 20% while DCR was 70%. Median PFS was 3.9 months (95% confidence interval: 1.3-NR). Grade 3 or higher treatment- related adverse events occurred in 33% of patients. Median duration of treatment for the GC cohort was 3 months, with 15 patients efficacy evaluable at the time of the analysis. For these 15 patients, confirmed ORR was 13% and an additional 20% of patients had unconfirmed OR. DCR was 73% and median PFS was 3.7 months (95% confidence interval: 1.4-NR). Grade 3 or higher treatment- related adverse events occurred in 14% of patients. 96 In 2022, we plan to initiate SURTORI-02, a Phase III study of surufatinib in combination with Tuoyi in esophageal cancer in China. We also plan to submit further Phase II data for presentation from the surufatinib and Tuoyi combination for biliary tract, esophageal, small cell lung cancers and sarcoma cohorts in 2022. In addition, in May 2020, we entered into a global clinical collaboration agreement to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of combining surufatinib with BeiGene’s anti-PD-1 antibody, tislelizumab, for the treatment of various solid tumor cancers in the United States, Europe, China and Australia. In March 2021, we dosed the first patient in an open-label, Phase Ib/II study of surufatinib in combination with tislelizumab in the United States and Europe, evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and efficacy in patients with advanced solid tumors, including CRC, NET, small cell lung cancer, gastric cancer and soft tissue sarcoma. The dose finding phase of the study is now complete, and the expansion phase is ongoing. Surufatinib Exploratory Development In China, we support an investigator initiated trial, or IIT, program for surufatinib, with about 50 IITs in various solid tumor settings being conducted for both combination and single agent regimens. These trials explore and answer important medical questions in addition to our own company-sponsored clinical trials. Overview of Sulanda Commercial Launch Surufatinib capsules, sold under the brand name Sulanda, were approved for marketing in China by the NMPA in December 2020 and June 2021 for the treatment of advanced non-pancreatic NETs and pancreatic NETs, respectively. In 2021, Sulanda was sold as a self-pay drug whereby patients paid for treatment out-of-pocket. We used means-test early access and patient access programs to help patients afford Sulanda, and we estimate that approximately 4,800 new patients were treated. Following negotiations with the China National Healthcare Security Administration, Sulanda was included on China’s NRDL at a 52% discount on our main 50mg dosage form, relative to the 2021 self-pay price, for two years starting on January 1, 2022. During 2021, we introduced Sulanda through a campaign of local, regional and national launch events involving approximately 12,000 healthcare professionals. We have also confirmed a total of around 50 investigator-initiated studies in a broad range of exploratory solid tumor indications all of which are expected to gradually expand awareness of Sulanda in China. 3. Fruquintinib (HMPL-013), VEGFR 1, 2 and 3 Inhibitor Fruquintinib is a VEGFR inhibitor that we believe is highly differentiated due to its superior kinase selectivity compared to other small molecule VEGFR inhibitors, which can be prone to excessive off-target toxicities. Fruquintinib’s selectivity on VEGFR 1, 2 and 3 results in fewer off-target toxicities, thereby allowing for better target coverage, as well as possible use in combination with other agents such as chemotherapies, targeted therapies and immunotherapies. We believe these are meaningful points of differentiation compared to other approved small molecule VEGFR inhibitors such as Sutent, Nexavar and Stivarga, and can potentially significantly expand the use and market potential of fruquintinib. Consequently, we believe that fruquintinib has the potential to become a global small molecule VEGFR inhibitor with the best selectivity for many types of solid tumors. We received full approval for launch of fruquintinib (under the brand name Elunate) in CRC in September 2018. In partnership with Eli Lilly, we launched fruquintinib in China in late November 2018. Elunate is indicated for the treatment of patients with mCRC that have been previously treated with fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin and irinotecan, including those who have previously received anti- VEGF, therapy and/or anti-EGFR therapy (Ras wild type). We manufacture all commercial supplies of Elunate in our factory in Suzhou and have expanded our role in the commercialization of Elunate since October 1, 2020. For more information regarding the Elunate product launch, see “—Overview of Elunate Commercial Launch.” 97 Mechanism of Action During the development of cancer, tumors at an advanced stage can secrete large amounts of VEGF, a protein ligand, to stimulate formation of excessive vasculature (angiogenesis) around the tumor in order to provide greater blood flow, oxygen, and nutrients to fuel the rapid growth of the tumor. Since essentially all solid tumors require angiogenesis to progress beyond a few millimeters in diameter, VEGFR drugs have demonstrated benefits in a wide variety of tumor types. VEGF and other ligands can bind to three VEGF receptors, VEGFR 1, 2 and 3, each of which has been shown to play a role in angiogenesis. Therefore, inhibition of the VEGF/VEGFR signaling pathway can act to stop the growth of the vasculature around the tumor and thereby starve the tumor of the nutrients and oxygen it needs to grow rapidly. This therapeutic strategy has been well validated with several first-generation VEGF inhibitors having been approved globally since 2005 and 2006. These include both small molecule multi-kinase inhibitor drugs such as Nexavar and Sutent as well as monoclonal antibodies such as Avastin. The success of these drugs validated VEGFR inhibition as a new class of therapy for the treatment of cancer. Fruquintinib Pre-clinical Evidence Pre-clinical trials have demonstrated that fruquintinib is a highly selective VEGFR 1, 2 and 3 inhibitor with high potency and low cell toxicity at the enzymatic and cellular levels. In a kinase selectivity screening, fruquintinib was found to be approximately 250 times more selective to VEGFR 3 than to the next non-VEGFR kinase. As a result of off-target side effects, existing VEGFR inhibitors are often unable to be dosed high enough to completely inhibit VEGFR, the intended target. In addition, the complex off-target toxicities resulting from inhibition of multiple signaling pathways are often difficult to manage in clinical practice. Combining such drugs with chemotherapy can lead to severe toxicities that can cause more harm than benefit to patients. To date, the first generation VEGFR TKI have been rarely used in combination with other therapies, thereby limiting their potential. Because of the potency and selectivity of fruquintinib, we believe that it has the potential to be safely combined with other oncology drugs, which could significantly expand its clinical potential. Fruquintinib Clinical Trials Colorectal Cancer The table below shows a summary of the clinical trials we have recently completed, are underway or are in planning for fruquintinib in CRC patients. We have two additional trials in progress for fruquintinib in CRC in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor as discussed in more detail below under “— Fruquintinib Combinations with Checkpoint Inhibitors.” Current Clinical Trials of Fruquintinib in CRC Treatment Fruquintinib monotherapy HUTCHMED and Eli Lilly FRESCO: �3L CRC; Name, Line, Patient Focus Sponsors/Partners Sites China Fruquintinib monotherapy (1) HUTCHMED Fruquintinib monotherapy HUTCHMED chemotherapy refractory FRESCO-2: mCRC CRC, TN & HR+/HER2- breast cancer U.S./Europe/ Japan/Australia U.S. Phase Status/Plan III Approved and launched III Fully enrolled NCT # NCT02314819 NCT04322539 Ib Ongoing NCT03251378 Notes: (1) The FDA granted fast track designation for the development of fruquintinib for the treatment of patients with mCRC in June 2020.

No drugs had been approved in third-line CRC in China with best supportive care being the general standard of care. This study followed a Phase II proof-of-concept trial in third-line CRC that met its primary endpoint of PFS in 2014. Enrollment was completed in May 2016, and 519 patients were screened. The intent-to-treat population of 416 patients was randomized at a 2:1 ratio to receive either: 5 mg of fruquintinib orally once daily, on a three-weeks-on/one-week-off cycle, plus best supportive care (278 patients) or placebo plus best supportive care (138 patients). Randomization was stratified for prior anti-VEGF therapy and K-RAS gene status. The trial concluded in January 2017. In June 2017, we presented the results of the FRESCO study in an oral presentation at the ASCO annual meeting. Results showed that FRESCO met all primary and secondary endpoints including significant improvements in OS and PFS with a manageable safety profile and lower off-target toxicities compared to other targeted therapies. The primary endpoint of median OS was 9.30 months (95% confidence interval: 8.18-10.45 months) in the fruquintinib group versus 6.57 months (95% confidence interval: 5.88-8.11 months) in the placebo group, with a hazard ratio of 0.65 (95% confidence interval: 0.51-0.83; two-sided p<0.001). The secondary endpoint of median PFS was 3.71 months (95% confidence interval: 3.65-4.63 months) in the fruquintinib group versus 1.84 months (95% confidence interval: 1.81-1.84 months) in the placebo group, with a hazard ratio of 0.26 (95% confidence interval: 0.21-0.34; two-sided p<0.001). Significant benefits were also seen in other secondary endpoints. The disease control rate in the fruquintinib group was 62% versus 12% for placebo (p<0.001), while the ORR based on confirmed responses was 5% versus 0% for placebo (p=0.012). 99 We have not performed a head-to-head clinical trial of fruquintinib versus Stivarga. While it is difficult to directly evaluate and compare clinical results across separate trials, data from the FRESCO study compare favorably to the data from the CONCUR study, a Phase III study of Stivarga monotherapy in CRC conducted in Asia, and the CORRECT study, a global Phase III study of Stivarga in CRC. In particular, in the Chinese patient subgroup of the CONCUR study, Stivarga had a disease control rate of 46% versus 7% in the placebo group. Median PFS was 2.0 months in the Stivarga group versus 1.7 months in the placebo group, and median OS was 8.4 months in the Stivarga group versus 6.2 months in the placebo group. In the CORRECT study, Stivarga had a disease control rate of 41% versus 15% in the placebo group. Median PFS was 1.9 months in the Stivarga group versus 1.7 months for the placebo group, and median OS was 6.4 months in the Stivarga group versus 5.0 months in the placebo group. In terms of safety, results showed that fruquintinib had a manageable safety profile with lower off-target toxicities compared to Stivarga, the other VEGFR TKI approved for third-line CRC. Of particular interest was that the CTC grade 3 or above hepatotoxicity was similar for the fruquintinib group as compared to the placebo group, which was in contrast to Stivarga which was markedly higher and often difficult to manage in the Chinese patient population in the CONCUR study. Adverse events led to dose interruptions in 69% of patients in the Chinese patient subgroup of the CONCUR study, compared to 35% in the FRESCO study. The most frequently reported fruquintinib-related CTC grade 3 or above TEAEs included hypertension (21%), hand-foot skin reaction (11%), proteinuria (3%) and diarrhea (3%), all possibly associated with VEGFR inhibition. No other CTC grade 3 or above TEAEs exceeded 2% in the fruquintinib population, including hepatic function adverse events such as elevations in bilirubin (1%), alanine aminotransferase (<1%) or aspartate aminotransferase (<1%). In terms of tolerability, dose interruptions or reductions occurred in only 35% and 24% of patients in the fruquintinib arm, respectively, and only 15% of patients discontinued treatment of fruquintinib due to adverse events versus 6% for placebo. The FRESCO study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in June 2018. Subgroup analysis In June 2018, a further subgroup analysis of data from the FRESCO Phase III study was presented at the ASCO annual meeting. This analysis explored possible effects of prior target therapy on the efficacy and safety of fruquintinib by analyzing the subgroups of patients with prior target therapy and those without prior target therapy. Results showed that the benefits of fruquintinib were generally consistent across all subgroups. Among a total of 278 fruquintinib- treated patients, 111 had received prior target therapy while 55 of the 138 placebo-treated patients had received prior target therapy. In the prior target therapy subgroup, fruquintinib significantly prolonged OS and PFS. Median OS was 7.69 months for patients treated with fruquintinib versus 5.98 months for placebo (hazard ratio = 0.63; p = 0.012). Median PFS was 3.65 months for patients treated with fruquintinib versus 1.84 months for placebo (hazard ratio = 0.24; p < 0.001). Among these 278 patients, the results showed that a subgroup of 84 patients who had received prior anti-VEGF treatment also benefited from fruquintinib. In this subgroup, the median OS was 7.20 months for fruquintinib versus 5.91 months for placebo (hazard ratio = 0.68; p=0.066) and the median PFS was 3.48 months for fruquintinib versus 1.84 months for placebo (hazard ratio = 0.24; p < 0.001). In the subgroup of 250 patients without prior targeted therapies, the median OS was 10.35 months for 167 patients treated with fruquintinib versus 6.93 months for 83 patients treated with placebo (hazard ratio = 0.63; p = 0.003), and the median PFS for patients treated with fruquintinib was 3.81 months versus 1.84 months for placebo (hazard ratio = 0.28; p < 0.001). Additional data showed that there were no observed cumulative CTC grade 3 or above TEAEs in the subgroup of patients with prior target therapy. The CTC grade 3 or above TEAEs rates of fruquintinib were similar in the subgroups with prior target therapy (61.3%) and without prior target therapy (61.1%). This subgroup analysis is consistent with the previously reported results from the FRESCO study’s intent-to-treat population. The results of this analysis showed that fruquintinib had clinically meaningful benefits in third-line mCRC patients regardless of prior target therapy without observed cumulative toxicity. 100 Quality-adjusted survival analysis At the 2018 ASCO Annual Meeting, an analysis was presented that aimed to compare the quality-adjusted survival between the two arms of the FRESCO study using quality-adjusted time without symptoms or toxicity, or Q-TWiST, methodology and to investigate the Q-TWiST benefit of fruquintinib treatment among subgroups. Q-TWiST is a tool to evaluate relative clinical benefit-risk from a patient’s perspective and has been widely used in oncology treatment assessment. The survival time for each patient was divided into three portions: time with CTC grade 3 or above toxicity before progression, time without symptoms or CTC grade 3 or above toxicity, and time from progression or relapse until death or end of follow-up. Patients treated with fruquintinib had longer Q-TWiST periods compared to patients treated with placebo. Q-TWiST benefits were observed regardless of prior lines of chemotherapy and prior anti-VEGF or anti-EGFR targeted therapy. The relative improvement of Q-TWiST with fruquintinib represents a clinically important quality-of-life benefit for mCRC patients. Supported by data from the successful FRESCO study, we submitted an NDA for fruquintinib in June 2017. Fruquintinib was subsequently awarded priority review status by the NMPA in view of its clinical value in September 2017, and in September 2018, the NMPA approved fruquintinib for the treatment of patients with advanced CRC and was launched in November 2018. For more information regarding the Elunate product launch, see “—Overview of Elunate Commercial Launch.” Phase III study of fruquintinib monotherapy in mCRC – Global (Status: enrollment completed; NCT04322539) We initiated a global Phase III registration study, known as the FRESCO-2 study, in refractory metastatic CRC. The first patient was dosed in September 2020 in the United States and the enrollment was completed in December 2021, where 691 patients from over 150 sites in 14 countries were enrolled. The U.S. FDA has acknowledged the totality of the fruquintinib clinical data, including the FRESCO-2 study (if positive), the prior positive Phase III FRESCO study demonstrating improvement in OS that led to fruquintinib approval for metastatic CRC in China in 2018, and additional completed and ongoing supporting studies in metastatic CRC, could potentially support an NDA for the treatment of patients with metastatic CRC in the third-line setting. The EMA and PMDA have reviewed and endorsed the FRESCO-2 study design. The primary endpoint of the study is OS. We expect to report outcome of this study in the second half of 2022 when the event-driven primary endpoint, OS, is reached. If positive, we plan to initiate a simultaneous submission program to apply for fruquintinib marketing authorization with the U.S. FDA, the EMA and the PMDA. Phase Ib study of fruquintinib monotherapy in metastatic colorectal and breast cancers – U.S. (Status: ongoing; NCT03251378) We are conducting a multi-center, open-label, Phase Ib clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of fruquintinib in U.S. patients, which has established the U.S. RP2D to be 5 mg, the same as that in China. This dose is being further evaluated in patients with mCRC and breast cancers. Preliminary efficacy and safety data of fruquintinib in patients with refractory, metastatic CRC were presented at the ASCO Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium in early 2022. In patients who had progressed on all standard therapies, including Lonsurf and/or Stivarga, the DCR was 68.3% and the median duration of treatment was 19.3 weeks. In patients who had not received Lonsurf or Stivarga, the DCR was 57.5% and the median duration of treatment was 14.1 weeks. The safety profile in both patient populations was consistent with what has previously been reported. Gastric Cancer Advanced gastric cancer is a major medical need, particularly in Asian populations, with limited treatment options for patients who have failed first-line standard chemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil and platinum doublets. The table below shows a summary of the clinical study we have underway for fruquintinib in gastric cancer patients. 101 Clinical Trials of Fruquintinib in Gastric Cancer Treatment Fruquintinib and Taxol Sponsors/Partners HUTCHMED and Eli Lilly Name, Line, Patient Focus Sites China FRUTIGA: 2L gastric cancer Phase III Status/Plan Ongoing; completed second interim analysis NCT # NCT03223376 Notes: 2L = second line. FRUTIGA study: Phase III study of fruquintinib in combination with Taxol in gastric cancer (second-line) (Status: Completed second interim analysis; NCT03223376) In October 2017, we initiated the FRUTIGA study, a pivotal Phase III clinical trial of fruquintinib in combination with Taxol for the treatment in advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma patients in China. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center trial is being conducted in patients with advanced gastric cancer who have progressed after first-line standard chemotherapy. All subjects will receive fruquintinib or placebo combined with paclitaxel. Patients will be randomized at a 1:1 ratio and stratified according to factors such as stomach versus gastroesophageal junction tumors and ECOG performance status, a scale established by the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group which determines ability of patient to tolerate therapies in serious illness, specifically for chemotherapy. The study is expected to enroll approximately 700 patients. Its co-primary endpoints are PFS and OS. In June 2020, the IDMC of the FRUTIGA study completed a second planned interim data review and, based on the preset criteria, the IDMC and Joint Steering Committees recommended that the trial continue with a sample size increase to ~700 patients. We expect to complete enrollment of FRUTIGA in 2022. Fruquintinib Combinations with Checkpoint Inhibitors The table below shows a summary of the clinical trials we have ongoing and in planning for fruquintinib in combination with checkpoint inhibitors.

In November 2018, we entered into two collaboration agreements to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of fruquintinib in combination with checkpoint inhibitors. These include a global collaboration with Innovent to evaluate the combination of fruquintinib with Innovent’s Tyvyt, a PD-1 monoclonal antibody approved in China, and a collaboration in China with Genor to evaluate the fruquintinib combination with geptanolimab, a PD-1 monoclonal antibody being developed by Genor. We are now approaching completion of the Phase I dose-finding study in China of fruquintinib in combination with Tyvyt, with the Phase I dose-expansion study already underway in five solid tumor indications. Phase Ib studies of fruquintinib in combination with geptanolimab in second-line CRC and NSCLC are ongoing. In 2022, we plan to initiate Phase III studies of fruquintnib plus Tyvyt combination in HCC, RCC and endometrial cancer in China. Advanced endometrial cancer registration-intent cohort Platinum-based systemic chemotherapy is the standard first-line treatment for advanced endometrial cancer. However, patients who progress following first-line chemotherapy have limited treatment options, and the prognosis remains poor. As disclosed at CSCO 2021, as of the data cutoff date of August 31, 2021, 35 patients were enrolled (NCT03903705), including 7 treatment-naïve and 28 pretreated patients. Of them, 29 were efficacy evaluable, 4 were treatment-naïve and 25 were pretreated. All 4 treatment-naïve patients experienced confirmed tumor response, for ORR of 100% (95% CI: 39.8-100.0), and median PFS was not reached. Among the 25 pretreated patients, the confirmed ORR was 32.0% (95% CI: 14.9-53.5), DCR was 92.0% (95% CI: 74.0-99.0) and the median PFS was 6.9 months (95% CI: 4.1-NR). Among the 19 proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) patients in the pretreated cohort, the confirmed ORR was 36.8% (95% CI: 16.3-61.6), DCR was 94.7% (95% CI: 74.0-99.9), median PFS was 6.9 months (95% CI: 4.1-NR), and the median OS was not reached. Among the 35 enrolled patients, treatment-related adverse events of grade 3 or above that occurred in more than 10% of patients were hypertension (4 patients, 11.4%) and proteinuria (4 patients, 11.4%). 5 (14.3%) patients reported treatment-related serious adverse events. Following discussion with the NMPA in late 2021, the cohort is now targeting to enroll over 130 patients to meet the requirements to be a single-arm, registration-intent Phase II study. CRC registration strategy for mCRC under discussion Encouraging preliminary data presented at ASCO 2021 for fruquintinib in combination with two PD-1 inhibitors, Tyvyt and geptanolimab, in advanced CRC showed a five-fold increase in ORR and a doubling of median PFS as compared to the FRESCO study for fruquintinib as a monotherapy. In the Tyvyt combination study (NCT04179084), 44 patients were enrolled into the CRC cohort, 22 of whom received the RP2D. ORR was 23% for all patients and 27% for those who received the RP2D. DCR was 86% for all patients and 96% for those who received the RP2D. Median PFS was 5.6 months for all patients, and 6.9 months for those who received the RP2D. Median OS was 11.8 months for all patients. In the geptanolimab combination study (NCT03977090), for the 15 patients in the CRC cohort ORR was 26.7% (including 1 patient with unconfirmed PR) and 33% in the group that received the RP2D. DCR for all evaluable patients was 80% and median PFS was 7.3 months (95% CI: 1.9-NR). Grade 3 treatment-related adverse events occurred in 47% of patients, and no incidences of grade 4 or 5 treatment-related adverse events were observed. Tislelizumab combinations (NCT04577963 & NCT04716634) In August 2021, we initiated an open-label, multi-center, non-randomized Phase Ib/II study in the U.S. to assess fruquintinib in combination with tislelizumab in patients with locally advanced triple negative breast cancer or advanced endometrial cancer. In addition, a Phase II study in China and Korea for fruquintinib in combination with tislelizumab was initiated and is being led by BeiGene for the treatment of advanced or metastatic, unresectable gastric cancer, CRC or NSCLC. Fruquintinib Exploratory Development We are conducting multiple Phase Ib expansion cohorts in the United States to explore fruquintinib in CRC and breast cancer. In China, there are about 40 ongoing investigator-initiated studies in various solid tumor settings. 103 Overview of Elunate Commercial Launch Fruquintinib capsules, sold under the brand name Elunate, were approved for marketing in China by the NMPA in September 2018 and commercially launched in late November 2018. We also received marketing approval for Elunate in Macau in February 2022. Elunate is for the treatment of patients with mCRC that have been previously treated with fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin and irinotecan, including those who have previously received anti-VEGF therapy and/or anti-EGFR therapy (RAS wild type). Starting on January 1, 2020, Elunate was included on China’s NRDL at a 63% discount to its initial retail price for two years, paving the way to significantly broaden access for advanced CRC patients and rapidly build penetration in China over the coming years. The inclusion was renewed pursuant to which we agreed to a discount of 5% relative to the 2021 NRDL price, and Elunate will continue to be included in the NRDL starting January 2022 for another two years. The revenues we generate from Elunate are comprised of royalty revenue, revenue from the sales of Elunate to Eli Lilly which we manufacture and sell at cost and, starting in October 2020, revenue from promotion and marketing services. In 2019, we generated $10.8 million in total revenue from Elunate, of which $2.7 million was royalty revenue and $8.1 million was revenue from sales to Eli Lilly. In 2020, we generated $20.0 million in total revenue from Elunate, of which $4.9 million was royalty revenue, $11.3 million was revenue from sales of goods primarily to Eli Lilly and $3.8 million was revenue from promotion and marketing services to Eli Lilly. In 2021, we generated $53.5 million in total revenue from Elunate, of which $10.3 million was royalty revenue, $15.8 million was revenue from sales of goods primarily to Eli Lilly and $27.4 million was revenue from promotion and marketing services to Eli Lilly. Partnership with Eli Lilly In October 2013, we entered into a license and collaboration agreement with Eli Lilly in order to accelerate and broaden our fruquintinib development program in China. As a result, we were able to quickly expand the clinical development of fruquintinib into indications with unmet medical needs in China including CRC and gastric cancer, as discussed above. In December 2018, we amended our license and collaboration agreement with Eli Lilly. This amendment gives us, among other things, all planning, execution and decision making responsibilities for life cycle indication development of fruquintinib in China. Support from Eli Lilly has also helped us to establish our own manufacturing (formulation) facility in Suzhou, China, which now produces clinical and commercial supplies of fruquintinib. In July 2020, we reached an agreement with Eli Lilly to take over development and execution of all on-the-ground medical detailing, promotion and local and regional marketing activities for Elunate in China starting on October 1, 2020. Under the terms of the new agreement, we will share gross profits linked to sales target performance. Subject to meeting pre-agreed sales targets, Eli Lilly will pay us an estimated total of 70% to 80% of Elunate in-market sales in the form of royalties, manufacturing costs and service payments. For more information regarding our partnership with Eli Lilly, see “—Overview of Our Collaborations—Eli Lilly.” 4. Amdizalisib (HMPL-689), PI3Kδ Inhibitor Amdizalisib is a novel, highly selective oral inhibitor targeting the isoform PI3Kδ, a key component in the B-cell receptor signaling pathway. Amdizalisib’s pharmacokinetic properties have been found to be favorable with good oral absorption, moderate tissue distribution and low clearance in pre-clinical studies. We also expect that amdizalisib will have low risk of drug accumulation and drug- drug interactions. In 2021, registration-intent studies for amdizalisib were initiated and Breakthrough Therapy Designation was granted for relapse or refractory follicular lymphoma in China. Mechanism of Action Targeting the B-cell signaling pathway is emerging as a potential means to treat both hematological cancer and immunological diseases. Inhibiting different kinases found along the B-cell signaling pathway has proven to have clinical efficacy in hematological cancers, with breakthrough therapies having been recently approved by the FDA. The high efficacy and successful approvals of Bruton’s tyrosine kinase, or BTK, inhibitors and PI3Kδ inhibitors are evidence that modulation of the B-cell signaling pathway is critical for the effective treatment of B-cell malignancies. Class I phosphatidylinositide-3-kinases, or PI3Ks, are lipid kinases that, through a series of intermediate processes, control the activation of several important signaling proteins including the serine/threonine kinase AKT. 104 There are multiple sub-families of PI3K kinases, and PI3Kδ is a lipid kinase that, through a series of intermediate processes, controls the activation of several important signaling proteins, including the serine/threonine kinase B, or AKT. In most cells, AKT is a key PI3Kδ affector that regulates cell proliferation, carbohydrate metabolism, cell motility and apoptosis and other cellular processes. Upon an antigen binding to B-cell receptors, PI3Kδ can be activated through the Lyn and Syk signaling cascade. Aberrant B-cell function has been observed in multiple immunological diseases and B-cell mediated malignancies. Therefore, PI3Kδ is considered to be a promising target for drugs that aim to prevent or treat hematologic cancer, autoimmunity and transplant organ rejection and other related inflammation diseases. Amdizalisib Pre-clinical Evidence Compared to other PI3Kδ inhibitors, amdizalisib shows higher potency and selectivity.

In December 2020, we presented preliminary results from a Phase I dose escalation study of amdizalisib in Chinese patients with relapsed/refractory lymphoma at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting. A total of 56 patients were enrolled resulting in an ORR of 51.9% (27/52) and complete response rate of 11.5% (6/52) in efficacy evaluable patients. The median time to response and duration of response were 1.8 months (1.8-1.9) and 9.2 months (3.9-NR), respectively. One patient with follicular lymphoma who achieved complete response (per post hoc independent radiologic review) was on treatment for over 19 months. In the nine efficacy evaluable patients treated with the RP2D of 30mg QD orally, efficacy was encouraging with an ORR of 100% (4/4) in follicular lymphoma, 100% in marginal zone lymphoma (2/2) and 67% (2/3) in diffuse large B cell lymphoma. 105 Phase 1 Dose Escalation Study: Promising Amdizalisib Single-agent Clinical Activity in Relapsed/refractory B-cell Lymphoma CLL/SLL DLBCL FL HL MCL MZL Patients 5mg QD 10mg QD 20mg QD 30mg QD 2.5mg QD 5mg QD 7.5mg QD 10mg QD 40mg QD PR +80% +60% +40% +20% 0% -20% -40% -60% -80% -100% Intent-to-treat population (n=56) Best Response Complete Response, % Partial Response, % %,esaesiDelbatS Progressive Disease, % Overall Response Rate Clinical Benefit Rate Time on Treatment Time to Response Duration of Response 11 (4-22) 37 43 11 48% (35-62) 82% (70-91) 5.6 months (0.7–23.2) 1.8 months (1.8–1.9) 9.2 months (3.9–NR) Progression Free Survival 10.1 months (5.5–15.7) etarSFPraey-1 )75–72(%04 Notes: CLL = chronic lymphocytic leukemia; SLL = small lymphocytic lymphoma; DLBCL = diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; FL = follicular lymphoma; HL = Hodgkin’s lymphoma; MCL = mantle cell lymphoma; MZL = marginal zone lymphoma; BID = twice daily; QD = once daily; PR = partial response; n = number of patients; PFS = progression free survival; and NA = not available.

Abstract #1135. Amdizalisib was well tolerated at the RP2D exhibiting dose-proportional pharmacokinetics and a manageable toxicity profile. Grade 3 or more non-hematologic TEAEs occurring in more than two patients were pneumonia, rash, hypertension, and increased lipase. Grade 3 or more hematologic TEAEs occurring in more than two patients were neutropenia, and no Grade 5 TEAEs were reported. In ESMO 2021, we presented results from the Phase Ib study. In the efficacy evaluable population of 76 patients, the median time of follow-up was 5.6 months (95% CI: 5.5-8.3). Objective response rate was 53.9%, completed response rate was 11.8%, and clinical benefit rate was 76.3%. Median duration of response was not reached, and 6-months duration of response rate was 84.5% (95% CI: 62.9-94.1). Median time to response was 1.9 months (95% CI: 1.8-1.9). Amdizalisib showed promising single-agent clinical activity in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphoma, with high objective response rate and complete response rates noted particularly for follicular lymphoma patients. In the 22 follicular lymphoma patients with efficacy evaluable, the median time of follow-up was 8.3 months (95% CI: 2.0-11.0). Objective response rate was 81.8%, complete response rate was 36.4% and clinical benefit rate was 90.9%. Median time to response was 1.8 months (95% CI: 1.8-1.9), 1-year duration of response was 59.7%, and progression-free survival rate was 75.8%. 77% of the patients remain on therapy. 106 Phase Ib Study of Amdizalisib in Chinese Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Lymphoma: Phase Ib Study of Amdizalisib in Chinese Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Lymphoma: Best response of target lesion (N=76) Best response of target lesion (N=76) FL n=22 MZL n=14 CLL/SLL n=3 MCL n=8 DLBCL n=29 CR PR PD SD 100 75 50 25 0 -25 -50 -75 -100 PD PD SD SD PR PR CR SD SD SD SD SD SD SD PR PR PD SD PR PR CR PR PR PR PR CR PR CR PR CR PR PR PR CR PR PR CR CR CR CR CR CR CR PR PR PR PR PR PR PR 2 PR 2 PD-PD-PD-PD-PD-PD-PD- PD PD PD PD PD PD PD PD SD SD PR PR PR PR PR SD SD SD SD SD PR PR PR PR PD PD PR PR PR PR PR 1 0 0 0 1 1 2 2 1 0 0 0 1 1 2 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 2 0 2 6 - 0 4 - 0 4 7 - 0 - 0 7 7 - 0 - 0 1 - 0 1 5 4 3 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 2 4 - 0 - 0 2 1 - 2 - 0 4 3 - 0 - 0 2 - 0 2 - 0 4 - 0 3 - 0 6 - 0 7 - 0 4 - 0 3 - 0 9 - 0 8 - 0 4 - 0 4 - 0 4 - 0 1 - 0 3 - 0 4 - 0 3 - 0 4 - 0 1 - 0 0 3 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 1 2 0 0 1 3 3 0 2 3 2 4 0 0 3 4 0 0 4 4 2 0 2 3 0 6 4 9 1 3 2 3 5 1 3 1 2 1 7 2 6 6 1 1 2 9 0 2 3 5 2 4 1 9 1 6 4 7 7 4 0 6 8 0 4 4 - 0 - 0 0 3 - 0 0 2 1 0 1 0 1 2 1 - 0 5 - 0 4 - 2 6 - 0 3 - 0 6 - 2 1 - 0 0 9 0 2 4 0 8 8 3 7 0 1 1 0 3 - 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 2 1 0 0 1 1 1 2 0 2 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 2 1 0 2 0 2 2 - 0 3 2 - 2 - 0 6 6 - 0 - 2 9 4 - 0 - 0 9 - 0 8 - 0 8 - 0 2 2 - 0 - 2 9 - 0 1 - 0 3 4 2 4 4 9 7 4 2 1 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 2 - 2 - 0 - 0 - 0 2 3 - 0 - 0 1 - 0 2 - 0 3 - 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 4 0 1 4 4 0 0 4 1 0 0 3 1 1 0 4 2 6 2 5 2 1 6 3 5 9 3 3 3 1 2 2 0 2 1 1 4 9 6 5 3 1 3 2 Notes: Data cut-off as of June 15, 2021.

Presentation #833O Amdizalisib was well tolerated and demonstrated a manageable safety profile. The most frequent treatment-emergent adverse event was neutrophil count decreased (28.9%), and most frequent, non-hematologic, Grade 3 or above treatment-emergent adverse events were pneumonia (13.3%) and rash (5.6%). All liver enzyme elevation was mild to moderate (Grade 1-2). Grade 3 diarrhea was low (2.2%) and there were no colitis cases as of the data cut-off. Treatment discontinuation rate due to adverse events was 5.6%. Phase II registration-intent study of amdizalisib in patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma and relapsed/refractory marginal zone lymphoma in China (Status: enrolling; NCT04849351) Based on the highly promising preliminary results from the above Phase Ib expansion study, in April 2021, we commenced a registration-intent Phase II trial of amdizalisib in China in patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma and marginal zone lymphoma, two subtypes of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The clinical trial is a multi-center, single-arm, open-label clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of amdizalisib once a day oral monotherapy in approximately 100 patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma and approximately 80 patients with relapsed/refractory marginal zone lymphoma. Relapsed/refractory is defined when a patient has not achieved response (complete response or partial response) after the latest line of systemic treatment, or has progressive disease or relapse after achieving response. The primary endpoint is ORR, with secondary endpoints including CR rate, PFS, TTR and duration of response. The trial is being conducted in over 35 sites in China. 107 Phase I/Ib study of amdizalisib in patients with Indolent non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in the United States and Europe (Status: enrolling; NCT03786926) In August 2019, we initiated an international Phase I/Ib study of amdizalisib in patients with relapsed or refractory lymphoma. The international clinical study, with 17 sites in the United States and Europe, is a multi-center, open-label, two-stage study, including dose escalation and expansion, investigating the effects of amdizalisib administered orally to patients with relapsed or refractory lymphoma. The primary outcome measures are safety and tolerability. Secondary outcomes include pharmacokinetic measurements and preliminary efficacy such as ORR. 5. Sovleplenib (HMPL-523), Syk Inhibitor The result of our over six-year program of discovery and pre-clinical work against Syk is sovleplenib, a highly selective Syk inhibitor with a unique pharmacokinetic profile which provides for higher drug exposure in the tissue than on a whole blood level. We designed sovleplenib intentionally to have high tissue distribution because it is in the tissue that the B-cell activation associated with rheumatoid arthritis and lupus occurs most often. Furthermore, and somewhat counter intuitively, in hematological cancer the vast majority of cancer cells nest in tissue, with a small proportion of cancer cells releasing and circulating in the blood where they cannot survive for long. We assessed that an effective small molecule Syk inhibitor would need to have superior tissue distribution. In January 2022, the Center for Drug Evaluation of the NMPA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation to sovleplenib for the treatment of chronic adult primary immune thrombocytopenia patients who have received at least one prior therapy. Mechanism of Action Syk is a key kinase upstream to PI3Kδ and BTK within the B-cell signaling pathway and therefore thought to be an important target for modulating B-cell signaling. Syk, a target for autoimmune diseases The central role of Syk in signaling processes is not only in cells of immune responses but also in cell types known to be involved in the expression of tissue pathology in autoimmune, inflammatory and allergic diseases. Therefore, interfering with Syk could represent a possible therapeutic approach for treating these disorders. Indeed, several studies have highlighted Syk as a key player in the pathogenesis of a multitude of diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and multiple sclerosis. Syk, a target for oncology In hematological cancer, we believe Syk is a high potential target. In hematopoietic cells, Syk is recruited to the intracellular membrane by activated membrane receptors like B-cell receptors or another receptor called Fc and then binds to the intracellular domain of the receptors. Syk is activated after being phosphorylated by certain kinases and then further induces downstream intracellular signals including B-cell linker, PI3Kδ, BTK and Phospholipase C-y2 to regulate B-cell proliferation, growth, differentiation, homing, survival, maturation, and immune responses. Syk not only involves the regulation of lymphatic cells but also signal transduction of non-lymphatic cells such as mast cells, macrophages, and basophils, resulting in different immunological functions such as degranulation to release immune active substances, leading to immunological reaction and disease. Therefore, regulating B-cell signal pathways through Syk is expected to be effective for treating lymphoma. Syk is upstream of both BTK and PI3Kδ, and we believe it could deliver the same outcome as inhibitors of BTK and PI3Kδ, assuming no unintentional toxicities are derived from Syk inhibition. 108 Sovleplenib Research Background The threshold of safety for a Syk inhibitor in chronic disease is extremely high, with no room for material toxicity. The failure of Tavalisse in a global Phase III registration study in rheumatoid arthritis provided important insights for us in the area of toxicity. While Tavalisse clearly showed patient benefit in rheumatoid arthritis, a critical proof-of-concept for Syk modulation, it also caused high levels of hypertension which is widely believed to be due to the high levels of off-target kinase insert domain receptor inhibition. In addition, Tavalisse has also been shown to strongly inhibit the Ret kinase, and in pre-clinical trials it was demonstrated that inhibition of the Ret kinase was associated with developmental and reproductive toxicities. The requirement for Syk kinase activity in inflammatory responses was first evaluated with Tavalisse, which was co-developed by AstraZeneca/Rigel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. In 2013, AstraZeneca announced results from pivotal Phase III clinical trials that Tavalisse statistically significantly improved ACR20 (a 20% improvement from baseline based on the study criteria) response rates of patients inadequately responding to conventional disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs and a single anti-TNFα (a key pro-inflammatory cytokine involved in rheumatoid arthritis pathogenesis) antagonist at 24 weeks, but failed to demonstrate statistical significance in comparison to placebo at 24 weeks. As a result, AstraZeneca decided not to proceed. Rigel Pharmaceuticals subsequently chose to develop Tavalisse for immune thrombocytopenia instead, for which it was approved by the FDA in 2018 and the EMA in 2020. Tavalisse was also in trials for B-cell lymphoma and T-cell lymphoma. It demonstrated some clinical efficacy in diffused large B- cell lymphoma patients with an ORR of 22%. Entospletinib has features of high potency and good selectivity toward kinases. However, while the Phase II study discussed above showed that it had significant efficacy in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma, its poor solubility and permeability into intestinal epithelial cells resulted in unsatisfactory oral absorption and a great variation of individual drug exposure. In addition, entospletinib shows some inhibition of the CYP3A4, CYP2D6, and CYP1A2 enzymes involved in the metabolism of certain drugs, and therefore their inhibition could increase the risk of drug-to-drug interaction when used in combined therapy. Sovleplenib Pre-clinical Evidence The safety profile of sovleplenib was evaluated in multiple in vitro and in vivo pre-clinical trials under good laboratory practice guidelines and found to be well tolerated following single dose oral administration. Toxic findings were seen in repeat dose animal safety evaluations in rats and dogs at higher doses and found to be reversible. These findings can be readily monitored in the clinical trials and fully recoverable upon drug withdrawal. The starting dose in humans was suggested to be 5 mg. This dose level is approximately 5% of the human equivalent dose extrapolated from the pre-clinical “no observed adverse event levels,” which is below the 10% threshold recommended by FDA guidelines. 109 Sovleplenib Clinical Trials As discussed below, we currently have various clinical trials of sovleplenib ongoing in Australia, the United States, Europe and China as a monotherapy. We plan to complete U.S. IND and initiate Phase I study in the United States in patients with immune thrombocytopenia purpura in 2022. The table below shows a summary of the clinical trials that we currently have for sovleplenib.

Breakthrough Therapy Designation Completed: data presented at ASH 2021 Active, not recruiting Ongoing; preliminary data presented at ASH 2021 Completed In planning NCT # NCT05029635 NCT03951623 NCT02503033 NCT03779113 NCT02857998 N/A Phase I/Ib study of sovleplenib in patients with immune thrombocytopenia (Status: ongoing; NCT03951623) In mid-2019, we initiated a Phase I study of sovleplenib in patients with immune thrombocytopenia purpura. Immune thrombocytopenia purpura is an autoimmune disorder characterized by low platelet count and an increased bleeding risk. Despite availability of several treatments with differing mechanisms of action, a significant proportion of patients develop resistance to treatment and are prone to relapse. In addition, there is a significant population of patients who have limited sensitivity to currently available agents and are in need of a new approach to treatment. The study is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled Phase Ib clinical trial investigating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of sovleplenib in adult patients with immune thrombocytopenia purpura. The primary endpoint is the number of patients with any adverse event. The secondary endpoints are maximum plasma concentration, area under the concentration-time curve in a selected time interval, and rate of clinical remission at week eighty. The trial is comprised of a dose escalation stage and a dose expansion stage. Approximately 50 to 60 patients are expected to be enrolled. Encouraging results from the Phase Ib study were presented at the ASH 2021 annual meeting. As of the data cutoff date, 34 patients had received sovleplenib and 11 received placebo. Among 16 patients who received the RP2D of 300mg once daily, 11 (68.8%) experienced response (defined by at least one incident of platelet count being ≥ 50x10⁹/L in the initial 8-week double blinded phase of the study), compared to one placebo patient (9.1%). One additional patient at the RP2D experienced response during the subsequent 16-week open-label phase of the study, and all four placebo patients that crossed over to receive treatment at RP2D after the initial 8-week double blinded phase experienced response. In total, 16 out of 20 patients (80%) experienced response during both phases of the study. Durable response (defined as platelet count being ≥ 50x10⁹/L in at least 4 out of 6 last scheduled visits) was reported in 8 out of 20 patients (40%) who received RP2D in both phases of the study. Safety data were presented for all 41 patients (31 sovleplenib, 10 placebo). The median duration of treatment was 142 days (range: 23-170). No patients discontinued treatment due to treatment-related adverse event, and no cases of treatment-related serious adverse events were reported. There were 30 patients (73%) who experienced treatment-related adverse events, including 3 (7.3%) who experienced grade 3 or above treatment-related adverse events, one of whom received the RP2D. No treatment-related adverse events of grade 3 or above occurred in more than one patient. 110 Phase Ib Study of Sovleplenib in Adult Patients with Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia Phase Ib Study of Sovleplenib in Adult Patients with Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia Notes: Data cut-off as of September 30, 2021.

Abstract #149895. Phase III study of sovleplenib in patients with immune thrombocytopenia (Status: ongoing; NCT05029635) Based on encouraging data from the Phase Ib study of sovleplenib in adult patients with immune thrombocytopenia, we initiated a Phase III study of sovleplenib in October 2021. The study is a randomized, double blinded, placebo-controlled Phase III clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of sovleplenib in treating adult patients with ITP. The primary endpoint of the study is the durable response rate. Secondary and exploratory endpoints include ORR, incidence of treatment emergent adverse events, and patient quality of life improvement. Approximately 180 patients are expected to be enrolled. Sovleplenib received Breakthrough Therapy Designation in China in January 2022. Phase I/Ib studies in multiple subtypes of B-cell malignancies (Status: ongoing; NCT02503033/NCT02857998) Our Phase I/Ib dose escalation and expansion studies in Australia and China have now enrolled over 200 patients in a broad range of hematological cancers and have identified indications of interest for future development. Phase I/Ib study of sovleplenib in indolent non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (Status: enrolling; NCT03779113) Based on extensive proof-of-concept clinical data in China and Australia, we have initiated a Phase I/Ib study in the United States and Europe. We presented preliminary results from this study at the ASH 2021 annual meeting, which support progressing sovleplenib into the ongoing dose expansion phase of the study to evaluate its safety and efficacy in multiple subtypes of B-cell and T-cell lymphoma at the RP2D of 700mg. 6. Tazemetostat, EZH2 Inhibitor Tazemetostat is an inhibitor of EZH2 developed by Epizyme that is approved by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of certain epithelioid sarcoma and follicular lymphoma patients. It received accelerated approval from the FDA based on ORR and DoR in January and June 2020 for epithelioid sarcoma and follicular lymphoma, respectively. Tazemetostat is currently marketed as Tazverik in the United States. We entered into a strategic collaboration with Epizyme pursuant to which we received a license to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize Tazemetostat in Greater China, including mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. 111 We plan to seek approval for tazemetostat in various hematological and solid tumors, including epithelial sarcoma, follicular lymphoma and diffuse large b-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in Greater China. We are participating in Epizyme’s SYMPHONY-1 (EZH- 302) study, leading it in Greater China. The parties also intend to conduct additional global studies jointly. Tazemetostat’s mechanism of action is highly complementary and potentially synergistic with HUTCHMED’s portfolio of cancer drug candidates. We will generally be responsible for funding all clinical trials of tazemetostat in Greater China including the portion of global trials conducted there. We are responsible for the research, manufacturing and commercialization of tazemetostat in Greater China. Mechanism of Action EZH2 is one member of a class of histone methyltransferases (“HMTs”). It catalyzes the methylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27) which controls expression of various genes and in turn plays a role in the normal physiology of many cell types. Dysregulation of EZH2 has been seen in a wide range of cancers and is associated with poor clinical prognosis and outcomes. Tazemetostat inhibits EZH2 which allows transcription of genes involved in functions such as cell cycle control and terminal differentiation and thus inhibits cancer cell proliferation. Tazemetostat Clinical Trials The table below shows a summary of the clinical trials that we have recently underway for tazemetostat.

Epizyme conducted the Phase Ib portion of the study in 2021, which determined the recommended Phase III dose (“RP3D”) and also demonstrated potential efficacy in second-line follicular lymphoma. The safety profile of the combination was consistent with the previously reported safety information in the U.S. prescribing information for both Tazverik and R², respectively. In the Phase III portion of the trial, approximately 500 patients are randomly assigned to receive the RP3D of tazemetostat + R² or placebo + R². The study will also include a maintenance arm with tazemetostat or placebo following the first year of treatment with tazemetostat + R² or placebo + R². We anticipate the first patient enrollment in the first half of 2022 in the China Phase III portion of SYMPHONY-1. We intend to initiate a bridging study in follicular lymphoma to support China registration as well as several combination studies of Tazemetostat with HUTCHMED assets. 7. HMPL-306, IDH1 and 2 Inhibitor HMPL-306 is a novel small molecule dual-inhibitor of IDH1 and 2 enzymes. IDH1 and IDH2 mutations have been implicated as drivers of certain hematological malignancies and solid tumors, particularly among acute myeloid leukemia patients. 112 Mechanism of Action IDHs are critical metabolic enzymes that help to break down nutrients and generate energy for cells. When mutated, IDH creates a molecule that alters the cell’s genetic programming and prevents cells from maturing, 2-hydroxyglutarate (“2-HG”). Reduction in 2-HG levels can be used as a marker of target engagement by an IDH inhibitor. IDH1 or IDH2 mutations are common genetic alterations in various types of blood and solid tumors, including acute myeloid leukemia, with approximately 20% of patients having mutant IDH genes, myelodysplastic syndrome intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Mutant IDH isoform switching, either from cytoplasmic mutant IDH1 to mitochondrial mutant IDH2, or vice versa, is a mechanism of acquired resistance to IDH inhibition in acute myeloid leukemia and cholangiocarcinoma. (MDS), myeloproliferative neoplasms low-grade glioma and (MPNs), Cytoplasmic mutant IDH1 and mitochondrial mutant IDH2 have been known to switch to the other form when targeted by an inhibitor of IDH1 mutant alone or IDH2 mutant alone. By targeting both IDH1 and IDH2 mutations, HMPL-306 could potentially provide therapeutic benefits in cancer patients harboring either IDH mutation and may address acquired resistance to IDH inhibition through isoform switching. Currently, the FDA has approved one drug for IDH1 mutation and one drug for IDH2 mutation, but no dual inhibitor targeting both IDH1 and IDH2 mutants has been approved. HMPL-306 Clinical Trials The table below shows a summary of the clinical trials that we have recently underway or in planning for HMPL-306.

This is a multi-center study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and efficacy of HMPL-306 in patients of relapsed or refractory hematological malignancies with an IDH1 and/or IDH2 mutation. We plan to submit presentation data from the dose escalation portion of the study in China in mid-2022. 113 Phase I HMPL-306 monotherapy in solid tumors–U.S. and Europe (Status: ongoing; NCT04762602) In March 2021, we initiated our Phase I development in the United States and Europe. This is a multi-center study to evaluate the safety, tolerability pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and preliminary efficacy of HMPL-306 in solid tumors, including but not limited to gliomas, chondrosarcomas or cholangiocarcinomas. We plan to initiate the dose expansion portion of the study in relapsed or refractory solid tumors in mid-2022. Phase I HMPL-306 monotherapy in hematological malignancies–U.S. and Europe (Status: ongoing; NCT04764474) In the United States, IND applications for solid tumors and hematologic malignancies were cleared in October 2020. In May 2021, we dosed the first patient with IDHm+ hematological malignancies. 8. HMPL-760, BTK Inhibitor HMPL-760 is an investigational, non-covalent, third-generation BTK inhibitor. It is a highly potent, selective, and reversible inhibitor with long target engagement against BTK, including wild-type and C481S-mutated BTK. Mechanism of Action BTK is a key component of the B-cell receptor signaling pathway and is an important regulator of cell proliferation and cell survival in various lymphomas. The abnormal activation of B-cell receptor signaling is closely related to the development of B-cell type hematological cancers, which represent approximately 85% of all NHL cases. BTK is considered a validated target for drugs that aim to treat certain hematological cancers, however C481S mutation of BTK is a known resistance mechanism for first and second generation BTK inhibitors. HMPL-760 Clinical Trials The table below shows a summary of the clinical trials that we have recently underway or in planning for HMPL-760.

We have an ongoing Phase I study in China and are in the process of initiating a Phase I study in the United States. Both of these are multi-center and open-label studies to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and preliminary efficacy profile of HMPL-760 in patients with previously treated chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma or other types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. 9. HMPL-453, FGFR Inhibitor Mechanism of Action FGFR belongs to a subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases. Four different FGFRs (FGFR1-4) and at least 18 ligand FGFs constitute the FGF/FGFR signaling system. Activation of the FGFR pathway through the phosphorylation of various downstream molecules ultimately leads to increased cell proliferation, migration and survival. FGF/FGFR signaling regulates a wide range of basic biological processes, including tissue development, angiogenesis, and tissue regeneration. Given the inherent complexity and critical roles in physiological processes, dysfunction in the FGF/FGFR signaling leads to a number of developmental disorders and is consistently found to be a driving force in cancer. Deregulation of the FGFR can take many forms, including receptor amplification, activating mutations, gene fusions, and receptor isoform switching, and the molecular alterations are found at relatively low frequencies in most tumors.

HMPL-453 Research Background We noted a growing body of evidence has demonstrated the oncogenic potential of FGFR aberrations in driving tumor growth, promoting angiogenesis, and conferring resistance mechanisms to oncology therapies. Targeting the FGF/FGFR signaling pathway has therefore attracted attention from biopharmaceutical companies and has become an important exploratory target for new anti-tumor target therapies. The main FGFR on-target toxicities observed to date in these compounds are all mild and manageable, including hyperphosphatemia, nail and mucosal disorder, and reversible retinal pigmented epithelial detachment. However, there are still many challenges in the development of FGFR-directed therapies. Uncertainties include the screening and stratifying of patients who are most likely to benefit from FGFR targeted therapy. Intra-tumor heterogeneity observed in FGFR amplified cancer may compromise the anti- tumor activity. In addition, the low frequency of specific FGFR molecular aberrance in each cancer type may hinder clinical trial enrollment. HMPL-453 Pre-clinical Evidence HMPL-453 is a highly selective and potent, small molecule that targets FGFR 1/2/3 with an IC50 in the low nanomolar range. Its good selectivity was revealed in the screening against 292 kinases. HMPL-453 exhibited strong anti-tumor activity that correlated with target inhibition in tumor models with abnormal FGFR activation. HMPL-453 has good pharmacokinetic properties characterized by rapid absorption following oral dosing, good bioavailability, moderate tissue distribution and moderate clearance in all pre-clinical animal species. HMPL-453 was found to have little inhibitory effect on major cytochrome P450 enzymes, indicating low likelihood of drug-to-drug interaction issues. HMPL-453 Clinical Development The table below shows a summary of the clinical trials that we have recently completed and underway for HMPL-453. 115 Clinical Trials of HMPL-453 Treatment HMPL-453 monotherapy HMPL-453 with chemotherapies HMPL-453 with Tuoyi (PD-1) Sponsors/Partners Name, Line, Patient Focus HUTCHMED 2L Cholangiocarcinoma Sites China Phase II Ongoing. ~10-15% of Status/Plan NCT # (IHCC with FGFR fusion) HUTCHMED Advanced solid tumors China HUTCHMED Advanced solid tumors China IHCC pts’ tumors harbor FGFR2 fusion I/II Ongoing; initiated in January 2022 I/II Ongoing; initiated in January 2022 NCT04353375 NCT05173142 NCT05173142 Phase II HMPL-453 monotherapy in advanced IHCC–China (Status: ongoing; NCT04353375) In September 2020, we initiated a Phase II, single-arm, multi-center, open-label study, evaluating the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of HMPL-453 in patients with advanced IHCC with FGFR2 fusion that had failed at least one line of systemic therapy. IHCC is a cancer that develops within the bile ducts, the second most common primary hepatic malignancy after hepatocellular carcinoma. Approximately 10-15% of IHCC patients have tumors that harbor FGFR2 fusion. Phase Ib/II HMPL-453 in combination with chemotherapies or toripalimab in advanced solid tumors–China (Status: ongoing; NCT05173142) In January 2022, we initiated a Phase Ib/II, multi-center, two-stage, open-label clinical trial of HMPL-453 in combination with chemotherapy or the anti-PD-1 therapy, toripalimab, to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy profile of HMPL-453 combination therapy in patients with specific advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The first stage of the study is a dose escalation phase to determine the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and recommended Phase II dose of HMPL-453 in combination with chemotherapy (gemcitabine and cisplatin) or toripalimab. The second stage of the study is a dose expansion phase in solid tumor patients with either gastric cancer, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, or urothelial carcinoma, harboring specific FGFR gene alterations. Each solid tumor cohort will be treated with a specific combination of HMPL‑453 and a chemotherapy or anti-PD-1 therapy to further evaluate the preliminary efficacy, safety and tolerability at the recommended Phase II dose. 10. HMPL-295, ERK Inhibitor HMPL-295, a novel ERK inhibitor, is our tenth in-house discovered small molecule oncology drug candidate. ERK is a downstream component of the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK signaling cascade (MAPK pathway). This is our first of multiple candidates in discovery addressing the MAPK pathway. Mechanism of Action RAS-MAPK pathway is dysregulated in human diseases, particularly cancer, in which mutations or nongenetic events hyperactivate the pathway in more than 50% of cancers. Activating mutations in RAS genes occur in more than 30% of cancers. RAS and RAF mutations predict worse clinical prognosis in a wide variety of tumor types, mediate resistance to targeted therapies, and decrease the response to the approved standards of care, namely, targeted therapy and immunotherapy. On the MAPK pathway, KRAS inhibitors are under clinical evaluation, and acquired resistance develops for RAF/MEK targeted therapies. ERK inhibition has the potential to overcome or avoid the intrinsic or acquired resistance from the inhibition of RAS, RAF and MEK upstream mechanisms. HMPL-295 Clinical Trials The table below shows a summary of the clinical trial that we have underway for HMPL-295. 116 Clinical Trial of HMPL-295 Treatment HMPL-295 monotherapy Sponsors/Partners Name, Line, Patient Focus HUTCHMED Solid tumors China Sites Phase I Status/Plan NCT # Ongoing: initiated in NCT04908046 July 2021 We currently retain all rights to HMPL-295 worldwide. We initiated our Phase I development in China in July 2021. This is a multi- center and open-label study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy profile of HMPL-295, and to determine the maximum tolerated dose and RP2D in patients with advanced malignant solid tumors. 11. HMPL-653, CSF-1R Inhibitor HMPL-653 is an investigational novel, highly selective, and potent CSF-1R inhibitor designed to target malignant driven tumors as a monotherapy or in combination with other drugs. Mechanism of Action CSF-1R is usually expressed on the surface of macrophages and can promote growth and differentiation of macrophages. Studies have shown that blocking the CSF-1R signaling pathway could effectively modulate the tumor microenvironment, relieve tumor immunosuppression, and synergize with other anti-cancer therapies such as immune checkpoint inhibitors to achieve tumor inhibition. It has been demonstrated in several clinical studies that CSF-1R inhibitors could treat tenosynovial giant cell tumors and treat a variety of malignancies combined with immuno-oncology or other therapeutic agents. HMPL-653 Clinical Trials The table below shows a summary of the clinical trial that we have recently underway for HMPL-653. Clinical Trial of HMPL-653 Treatment HMPL-653 monotherapy Sponsors/Partners Name, Line, Patient Focus HUTCHMED Solid tumors & Sites China Phase I tenosynovial giant cell tumors NCT # NCT05190068 Status/Plan Ongoing: initiated in January 2022, ~110 patients expected to be enrolled We currently retain all rights to HMPL-653 worldwide. We initiated our Phase I development in China in January 2022, and the study is a multi-center, open-label and single-armed study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of HMPL-653 in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors and tenosynovial giant cell tumors. We expect to enroll around 110 patients in this study. 12. Epitinib and theliatinib, EGFR Inhibitors Our strategy has been to create targeted therapies in the EGFR area that would go beyond the already approved EGFRm+ patient population to address certain areas of unmet medical needs that represent market opportunities, including: (i) brain metastasis and/or primary brain tumors with EGFRm+, which we seek to address with epitinib; and (ii) tumors with EGFR gene amplification or EGFR overexpressed, which we seek to address with theliatinib. Epitinib (also known as HMPL-813) is a potent and selective oral EGFR inhibitor designed to optimize brain penetration. A significant portion of patients with EGFR activating mutations go on to develop brain metastasis. Patients with brain metastasis suffer from poor prognosis and low quality of life with limited treatment options. EGFR inhibitors have revolutionized the treatment of NSCLC with EGFR activating mutations. However, many approved EGFR inhibitors cannot penetrate the blood-brain barrier effectively, leaving the majority of patients with primary brain tumors or brain metastasis without an effective targeted therapy. 117 Furthermore, tumors with wild-type EGFR activation, for instance through gene amplification or protein over-expression, are less sensitive to many EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors due to sub-optimal binding affinity. Theliatinib (also known as HMPL-309) is a novel oral EGFR inhibitor that has been designed with strong affinity to the wild-type EGFR kinase and has demonstrated five to ten times the potency than Tarceva in pre-clinical trials. This holds importance because tumors with wild-type EGFR activation have been found to be less sensitive to current EGFR inhibitors and is notable in certain cancer types such as esophageal cancer, where 15-28% have EGFR gene amplification and 50-70% have EGFR overexpressed. As a result, we believe that theliatinib could potentially be more effective than existing EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor products and benefit patients with tumor types with a high incidence of wild-type EGFR activation. We have completed Phase I and II trials for both epitinib (NSCLC with brain metastases; glioblastoma) and theliatinib (solid tumors; esophageal cancer) and have observed efficacy. However, we have decided not to continue their development as monotherapies at this time. Our Research and Development Approach Our core research and development philosophy is to take a holistic approach to the treatment of cancer and immunological diseases, through multiple modalities and mechanisms, including targeted therapies, immunotherapies and other pathways. A primary objective of our research efforts has been to develop next generation drug candidates with:     unique selectivity to limit target-based toxicity; high potency to optimize the dose selection with the objective to lower the required dose and thereby limit compound-based toxicity; chemical structures deliberately engineered to improve drug exposure in the targeted tissue; and ability to be combined with other therapeutic agents, including targeted therapies, immunotherapies and chemotherapies. We have built a drug discovery engine, with which we strive to create differentiated novel oncology and immunology treatments with global potential. These include furthering both small molecule and biologic therapies which address aberrant genetic drivers and cancer cell metabolism; modulate tumor immune microenvironment; and target immune cell checkpoints. We design drug candidates with profiles that enable them to be used in innovative combinations with other therapies, such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy and other targeted therapy in order to attack disease simultaneously through multiple modalities and pathways. We believe that this approach can significantly improve treatment outcomes for patients. We believe our ability to successfully develop innovative drug candidates through our Oncology/Immunology operations will be the primary factor affecting our long-term competitiveness, as well as our future growth and development. Creating high quality global first-in-class or best-in-class drug candidates requires a significant investment of resources over a prolonged period of time, and a core part of our strategy is to continue making sustained investments in this area. As a result of this commitment, our pipeline of drug candidates has been steadily advancing and expanding, with thirteen clinical-stage drug candidates. See “– Our Clinical Pipeline” for more details. Beyond these clinical candidates, we continue to conduct research into discovering new types of drug candidates, including among others, small molecules addressing cancer-related apoptosis, cell signaling, epigenetics and protein translation; biologic drug candidates including bispecific antibodies; and novel technologies including antibody-drug conjugates and heterobifunctional small molecules. 118 Our Collaborations Collaborations and joint ventures with corporate partners have provided us with significant funding and access to our partners’ scientific, development, regulatory and commercial capabilities. Our current oncology collaborations focus on savolitinib (collaboration with AstraZeneca) and fruquintinib (collaboration with Eli Lilly). When we entered into these collaborations, we had already conducted the discovery research and early clinical development of each drug candidate and, following our agreements, continued to conduct the clinical development and manage the engagement with regulatory authorities in China up to and including filing the NDAs with the NMPA. Our collaboration partners fund a significant portion of our research and development costs for drug candidates developed in collaboration with them. In addition, we receive upfront payments upon our entry into these collaboration arrangements and upon the achievement of certain development milestones for the relevant drug candidate. We have received upfront payments, equity contributions and milestone payments totaling approximately $183.5 million mainly from our collaborations with AstraZeneca and Eli Lilly as of December 31, 2021. In return, our collaboration partners are entitled to a significant proportion of any future revenue from our drug candidates developed in collaboration with them, as well as a degree of influence over the clinical development process for such drug candidates. In addition, we have entered into other clinical collaborations for combination studies of fruquintinib and surufatinib with drug candidates belonging to BeiGene, Innovent and/or Junshi. We also have an immunology collaboration with Inmagene with respect to four novel pre-clinical drug candidates discovered by us and an in-licensing collaboration with Epizyme with respect to tazemetostat. AstraZeneca In 2008, our in-house teams started research on MET inhibitors, subsequently discovering our drug candidate, savolitinib, and conducting its pre-clinical development in-house. In 2011, we submitted applications for clinical development and initiated Phase I clinical trials. In December 2011, we entered into an agreement with AstraZeneca under which we granted to AstraZeneca co-exclusive, worldwide rights to develop, and exclusive worldwide rights to manufacture and commercialize savolitinib for all diagnostic, prophylactic and therapeutic uses. In August 2016, December 2020 and November 2021, we and AstraZeneca amended the terms of the agreement. We refer to this agreement, including the amendments thereto, as the AstraZeneca Agreement. AstraZeneca paid $20.0 million upon execution of the AstraZeneca Agreement and agreed to pay royalties and additional amounts upon the achievement of development and sales milestones. Under the original terms of the AstraZeneca Agreement, we and AstraZeneca agreed to share the development costs for savolitinib in China, with AstraZeneca being responsible for the development costs for savolitinib in the rest of the world. With respect to certain clinical trials, we subsequently agreed with AstraZeneca on sharing development costs. As of December 31, 2021, we had received $49.9 million in milestone payments in addition to approximately $57.1 million in reimbursements for certain development costs. We may potentially receive future clinical development and first sales milestones payments for clinical development and initial sales of savolitinib, plus significant further milestone payments based on sales. Subject to approval of savolitinib in treating PRCC, under the amended AstraZeneca Agreement, AstraZeneca is obligated to pay us increased tiered royalties from 14% to 18% annually on all sales made of any product outside of China, which represents a five percentage point increase over the original terms, subject to a potential downward adjustment on such point increase based on the amount of any contribution by AstraZeneca to the Phase III development in patients with such indication. After total aggregate additional royalties have reached five times our contribution to the Phase III development in patients with such indication, this royalty will step down over a two-year period, to an ongoing royalty rate of 10.5% to 14.5%. AstraZeneca is also obligated to pay us a fixed royalty of 30% on all sales made of any product in China. Development and collaboration under this agreement are overseen by a joint steering committee that is comprised of three of our senior representatives as well as three senior representatives from AstraZeneca. AstraZeneca is responsible for the development of savolitinib and all regulatory matters related to this agreement in all countries and territories other than China, and we are responsible for the development of savolitinib and all regulatory matters related to this agreement in China. Since entering the AstraZeneca Agreement, we have continued to lead the development of savolitinib in China. 119 Subject to earlier termination, the AstraZeneca Agreement will continue in full force and effect on a country-by-country basis as long as any collaboration product is being developed or commercialized. The AstraZeneca Agreement is terminable by either party upon a breach that is uncured, upon the occurrence of bankruptcy or insolvency of either party, or by mutual agreement of the parties. The AstraZeneca Agreement may also be terminated by AstraZeneca for convenience with 180 days’ prior written notice. Termination for cause by us or AstraZeneca or for convenience by AstraZeneca will have the effect of, among other things, terminating the applicable licenses granted by us. Termination for convenience by AstraZeneca will have the effect of obligating AstraZeneca to grant to us all of its rights to regulatory approvals and other rights necessary to commercialize savolitinib. Termination by AstraZeneca for convenience will not have the effect of terminating any license granted by AstraZeneca to us. Eli Lilly In 2007, our in-house research into VEGFR inhibitors led to the discovery of our drug candidate, fruquintinib. We conducted pre- clinical development in-house and initiated a Phase I clinical trial in 2010. In October 2013, we entered into an agreement with Eli Lilly whereby we granted Eli Lilly an exclusive license to develop, manufacture and commercialize fruquintinib for all uses in China and Hong Kong. In December 2018, following the commercial launch of fruquintinib in China, we and Eli Lilly amended the terms of the agreement and further amended the terms of the agreement in July 2020. We refer to this agreement, including the amendments thereto, as the Eli Lilly Agreement. Subsequent to the entering of the Eli Lilly Agreement, we continued to lead the development of fruquintinib, including all clinical trial development. Eli Lilly reimbursed us for a majority of the development costs and provided input over the course of the development of fruquintinib. Development, collaboration and manufacture of the products under this agreement are overseen by a joint steering committee comprised of equal numbers of representatives from each party. Eli Lilly paid a $6.5 million upfront fee following the execution of the Eli Lilly Agreement in 2013, and agreed to pay royalties and additional amounts upon the achievement of development and regulatory approval milestones. As of December 31, 2021, Eli Lilly had paid us $37.2 million in milestone payments in addition to approximately $57.7 million in reimbursements for certain development costs. We could potentially receive future milestone payments for the achievement of development and regulatory approval milestones in China. Additionally, Eli Lilly is obligated to pay us tiered royalties from 15% to 20% annually on sales made of fruquintinib in China and Hong Kong, the rate to be determined based upon the dollar amount of sales made for all products in that year. Under the terms of our 2018 amendment, upon the first commercial launch of fruquintinib in China in a new life cycle indication, these tiered royalties increased to 15% to 29%. Under the terms of our 2020 amendment, we and Eli Lilly share gross profits linked to sales target performance. Subject to meeting pre-agreed sales targets, Eli Lilly will pay us an estimated total of 70% to 80% of Elunate in-market sales in the form of royalties, manufacturing costs and service payments. Under the terms of our 2018 amendment, we are entitled to determine and conduct future life cycle indication development of fruquintinib in China beyond the three initial indications specified in the original Eli Lilly Agreement. After the 2018 amendment, we assumed responsibility for all development activities and costs for fruquintinib in China in new life cycle indications, and we have the liberty to collaborate with third-parties to explore combination therapies of fruquintinib with various immunotherapy agents. Under the terms of our 2020 amendment, we took over development and execution of all on-the-ground medical detailing, promotion and local and regional marketing activities for Elunate in China. We are responsible in consultation with Eli Lilly for the supply of, and have the right to supply, all clinical and commercial supplies for fruquintinib pursuant to an agreed strategy for manufacturing. For the term of the Eli Lilly Agreement, such supplies will be provided by us at a transfer price that accounts for our cost of goods sold. The Eli Lilly Agreement is terminable by either party for breach that is uncured. The Eli Lilly Agreement is also terminable by Eli Lilly for convenience with 120 days’ prior written notice or if there is a major unexpected safety issue with respect to a product. Termination by either us or Eli Lilly for any reason will have the effect of, among other things, terminating the applicable licenses granted by us, and will obligate Eli Lilly to transfer to us all regulatory materials necessary for us to continue development efforts for fruquintinib. 120 BeiGene In May 2020, we entered into a clinical collaboration agreement with BeiGene to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of combining surufatinib and fruquintinib with BeiGene’s anti-PD-1 antibody tislelizumab, for the treatment of various solid tumor cancers, in the United States, Europe, China and Australia. Under the terms of the agreement, we and BeiGene each plan to explore development of the combination of surufatinib with tislelizumab or fruquintinib with tislelizumab in different indications and regions. We have agreed to provide mutual drug supply and other support. Inmagene In January 2021, we and Inmagene entered into a strategic partnership to further develop four novel pre-clinical drug candidates (HMPL-A28, HMPL-727, HMPL-662 and HMPL-958) discovered by us for the potential treatment of multiple immunological diseases. We will work together to move the drug candidates towards IND submission. If successful, Inmagene will then move the drug candidates through global clinical development. Under the terms of the agreement, we have granted Inmagene exclusive options to four drug candidates solely for the treatment of immunological diseases. If Inmagene exercises an option, it will have the right to further develop, manufacture and commercialize that specific drug candidate worldwide, while we retain first right to co-commercialization in China. For each of the drug candidates, we will be entitled to development milestones of up to $95 million and up to $135 million in commercial milestones, as well as up to double- digit royalties upon commercialization. Epizyme In August 2021, we entered into a licensing agreement with Epizyme pursuant to which we obtained a co-exclusive license to develop, an exclusive license to commercialize and a co-exclusive license to manufacture tazemetostat in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau for all therapeutic and palliative uses in epithelioid sarcoma, follicular lymphoma (second line and third line), diffuse large b-cell lymphoma and any other indications that are approved according to the terms of the licensing agreement. To date, we have paid Epizyme a $25.0 million upfront payment. We may be required to pay an additional aggregate amount of up to $110 million in development and regulatory milestone payments and up to an additional $175 million in sales milestone payments. Epizyme is also eligible to receive, across up to eight potential indications, certain tiered royalties (from mid-teen to low-twenties- percentage) based on annual net sales of tazemetostat in the licensed territory. In addition, we received a four-year warrant to acquire up to $65 million of Epizyme shares at a price of $11.50 per share. We have the right to manufacture the licensed product for development and commercialization in the licensed territory and are generally responsible for funding all clinical trials of tazemetostat, including the portion of global trials conducted in the licensed territory. The agreement with Epizyme will remain in effect until, on a licensed product-by-licensed product basis, the expiration of the royalty term for each licensed product in the licensed territory. We have the right to terminate the agreement for convenience at any time, subject to a certain notice period. Either party has the right to terminate the agreement if the other party or its affiliates challenge its patents. In addition, either party may terminate the agreement with written notice for the other party’s material breach, subject to a certain cure period, or for the other party’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Other Collaborations In October and November 2018, we entered into multiple collaborations to evaluate combinations of fruquintinib and surufatinib. These include a global collaboration with Innovent to evaluate the combination of fruquintinib with Tyvyt and a global collaboration with Junshi to evaluate the combination of surufatinib with Tuoyi. In September 2019, we expanded our global collaboration agreement with Innovent to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Tyvyt in combination with surufatinib. Other Ventures is our large-scale, profitable drug marketing and distribution platform covering about 290 cities and towns in China with approximately 2,900 manufacturing and commercial personnel as of December 31, 2021. Built over the past 20 years, it has been focused on the sale of prescription drug products and consumer health products conducted through the following entities: Other Ventures 121 Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals, our non-consolidated joint venture, primarily engages in the manufacture and sale of prescription drug products originally contributed by our joint venture partner, as well as third-party prescription drugs with a focus on cardiovascular medicine. Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals’ proprietary products are sold under the “Shang Yao” brand, literally meaning “Shanghai pharmaceuticals,” a trademark that has been used for over 50 years in the pharmaceutical retail market, primarily in Eastern China. In early 2019, Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals was awarded the 2018 State Scientific and Technological Progress Award – Second Prize, which was presented by President Xi Jinping, Premier Li Keqiang and other state leaders of the PRC at the National Science and Technology Awards Ceremony. This award was one of only two such awards given that year to studies in the botanical drug industry. Its key product is She Xiang Bao Xin pills, a vasodilator for the long-term treatment of coronary artery and heart disease and for rapid control and prevention of acute angina pectoris, a form of chest pain. There are over one million deaths due to coronary artery disease per year in China. She Xiang Bao Xin pill is the third largest botanical prescription drug in this indication in China, with market share in 2021 of 19.6% (2020 of 18.2%) nationally and 43.6% (2020: 47.5%) in Shanghai. She Xiang Bao Xin pills’ sales represented 92% of all Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals sales in 2021. She Xiang Bao Xin pills were first approved in 1983 and subsequently enjoyed 22 proprietary commercial protections under the prevailing regulatory system in China. In 2005, Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals was able to attain “Confidential State Secret Technology” status protection, as certified by China’s Ministry of Science and Technology and State Secrecy Bureau, which extended proprietary protection in China until late 2016. The Science and Technology Commission of Shanghai Municipality has subsequently extended such protection. Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals holds an invention patent in China covering its formulation, which extends proprietary protection through 2029. She Xiang Bao Xin pill is one of less than two dozen proprietary prescription drugs represented on China’s National Essential Medicines List, which means that all Chinese state-owned health care institutions are required to carry it. She Xiang Bao Xin pill is fully reimbursed in all of China. Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals manufactures its products at its 78,000 square meter production facility located in Feng Pu district outside the center of Shanghai. Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals holds 74 drug product manufacturing licenses, of which 17 are included in the National Essential Medicines List, and three are in active production. The factory is operated by over 530 manufacturing staff. As of December 31, 2021, Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals had a commercial team of about 2,200 medical sales representatives allowing for the promotion and scientific detailing of our products not just in hospitals in provincial capitals and medium-sized cities, but also in the majority of county-level hospitals in China. Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals, through its GSP-certified subsidiary, sells its products and its third-party licensed prescription drugs directly to distributors who on-sell such products to hospitals and clinics, pharmacies and other retail outlets in their respective areas, as well as to other local distributors. As of December 31, 2021, Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals engaged a group of approximately 550 primary distributors to cover China. These primary distributors in turn used over 2,000 secondary distributors to work directly with hospitals, on a local level, to manage logistics. Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals’ own prescription drugs sales representatives promote its products to doctors and purchasing managers in hospitals, clinics and pharmacies as part of its marketing efforts. Hutchison Sinopharm Hutchison Sinopharm is our consolidated joint venture with Sinopharm. Based in Shanghai, Hutchison Sinopharm focuses on providing logistics services to, and distributing and marketing prescription drugs in China. As of December 31, 2021, Hutchison Sinopharm had a dedicated team of over 130 commercial staff focused on two key areas of operation—a commercial team that markets approximately 1,100 third-party prescription drug and other products directly to about 700 public and private hospitals in the Shanghai region and through a network of approximately 50 distributors to cover all other provinces in China, and a second commercial team that markets our Zhi Ling Tong infant nutrition brand through a network of over 32,000 promoters in over 7,700 outlets in China. 122 Starting in 2015, Hutchison Sinopharm had been the exclusive marketing agent for Seroquel tablets in China. In June 2018, AstraZeneca sold and licensed its rights to Seroquel to Luye Pharma Group, Ltd., including its rights in China. The terms of our agreement with AstraZeneca were assigned to Luye Pharma Hong Kong Ltd., or Luye Pharma HK. In May 2019, we received a notice from Luye Pharma HK purporting to terminate our agreement. We believe that Luye Pharma HK had no basis for termination and commenced confidential legal proceedings to seek damages. In December 2021, the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre made a final award in favor of Hutchison Sinopharm against Luye Pharma Hong Kong in the amount of RMB253.2 million plus costs we incurred in the legal proceedings and interest. We expect the award to be paid in 2022. We did not have any revenue from the distribution of Seroquel for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021. In 2019, we began building an in-house oncology commercial sales and marketing team at Hutchison Sinopharm to support the launch of certain of our innovative oncology drugs. By December 31, 2021, this team had grown to over 630 commercial sales and marketing staff. In 2021, a substantial portion of Hutchison Sinopharm’s sales were made directly to hospitals and clinics, with the remaining sales being made through distributors. As of December 31, 2021, Hutchison Sinopharm had approximately 740 customers of which approximately 6% were distributors, and the revenue generated from these distributors accounted for approximately 26% of the revenue of Hutchison Sinopharm for the year ended December 31, 2021. Hutchison Baiyunshan Hutchison Baiyunshan was our non-consolidated joint venture until we disposed of our interest in it in September 2021. It focused primarily on the manufacture, marketing and distribution of over-the-counter pharmaceutical products, including Banlangen granules for the treatment of viral flu, fever, and respiratory tract infections and Fu Fang Dan Shen tablets for the treatment of chest congestion and angina pectoris. Hutchison Hain Organic Hutchison Hain Organic is a consolidated joint venture with Hain Celestial, a Nasdaq-listed, natural and organic food and personal care products company. Hutchison Hain Organic distributes a broad range of over 500 imported organic and natural products. Pursuant to its joint venture agreement, Hutchison Hain Organic has rights to manufacture, market and distribute Hain Celestial’s products within nine Asian territories. We believe the key strategic product for Hutchison Hain Organic is Earth’s Best organic baby products, a leading brand in the United States. Hutchison Hain Organic’s other products are distributed to hypermarkets, specialty stores and other retail outlets in Hong Kong, China and across seven other territories in Asia mainly through third-party local distributors, including retail chains owned by affiliates of CK Hutchison. Hutchison Healthcare Hutchison Healthcare is our wholly owned subsidiary and is primarily engaged in the manufacture and sale of health supplements. Hutchison Healthcare’s major product is Zhi Ling Tong DHA capsules, a health supplement made from algae DHA oil for the promotion of brain and retinal development in babies and young children, which is distributed by Hutchison Sinopharm. The majority of Hutchison Healthcare’s products are contract manufactured at a dedicated and certified manufacturing facility operated by a third party. HUTCHMED Science Nutrition HUTCHMED Science Nutrition is our wholly owned subsidiary that is primarily engaged in the distribution of third-party consumer products in Asia. 123 Oncology/Immunology Competition Competition The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are highly competitive. While we believe that our highly selective drug candidates, experienced development team and chemistry-focused scientific approach provide us with competitive advantages, we face potential competition from many different sources, including major pharmaceutical, specialty pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. Any drug candidates that we successfully develop and commercialize will compete with existing drugs and/or new drugs that may become available in the future. We compete in the segments of the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and other related markets that address inhibition of key biological pathways in cancer and immunological diseases. There are other companies working to develop kinase inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies as targeted therapies for cancer and immunological diseases. These companies include divisions of large pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies of various sizes. Many of our competitors, either alone or with their strategic partners, have substantially greater financial, technical and human resources than we do and significantly greater experience in the discovery and development of drug candidates, obtaining regulatory approvals of products and the commercialization of those products. Accordingly, our competitors may be more successful than we may be in obtaining approval for drugs and achieving widespread market acceptance. Our competitors’ drugs may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any drug we may commercialize and may render our drug candidates obsolete or non- competitive before we can recover the expenses of developing and commercializing any of our drug candidates. We anticipate that we will face intense and increasing competition as new drugs enter the market and advanced technologies become available. Below is a summary of existing therapies and therapies currently under development that may become available in the future which may compete with each of our clinical-stage drug candidates. Savolitinib While there are currently no approved selective MET inhibitors on the market in China, two selective MET inhibitors are on the market in the US and Japan: Tepmetko (tepotinib) and Tabrecta (capmatinib) are approved for MET exon 14 skipping NSCLC with additional programs underway focused on lung cancer. Market Authorization Applications for Tabrecta and Tepmetko are both under review by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for use in the treatment of MET exon 14 skipping NSCLC. Other selective MET inhibitors in development include telisotuzumab vedotin (in Phase II for advanced solid tumors, including NSCLC), elzovantinib (TPX- 0022, in Phase I/II development for advanced solid tumors), AMG 337 (in Phase II for advanced or metastatic clear cell sarcoma harboring the EWSR1-ATF1 gene fusion), and glumetinib (in Phase I/II in China for advanced solid tumors, including MET-altered NSCLC). Sym-015 is a bi-specific antibody that binds to non-overlapping epitopes on the extracellular domain of the Met receptor tyrosine kinase (in Phase IIa development). Approved compounds that inhibit MET as well as other kinases include Xalkori (crizotinib) (ALK, ROS1 and MET inhibitor marketed for NSCLC) and Cabometyx (cabozantinib) (VEGFR/MET/Ret inhibitor approved for RCC and liver cancer as well as in development for genitourinary cancers). Amivantamab (JNJ-61186372) (EGFR/MET bi-specific antibody) is approved for NSCLC harboring EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation and in late-stage development for EGFRm+ NSCLC. Surufatinib Sutent (VEGFR inhibitor) and Afinitor (mTOR inhibitor) have been approved for the treatment of pancreatic NETs. Somatuline Depot (Lanreotide) is a growth hormone release inhibitor that has been approved for the treatment of gastroenteropancreatic NETs. Sandostatin (octreotide) is a growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-1 inhibitor that has also been approved for NETs. Lutathera (Lu-dotatate), a somatostatin receptor targeting radiotherapy, has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of somatostatin receptor positive gastroenteropancreatic NETs. Furthermore, small molecules, monoclonal antibodies and radiotherapies are being developed for the treatment of NETs. Compounds undergoing development for NETs include Inlyta (axitinib, tyrosine kinase inhibitor), and Vargatef (nintedanib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor). Cometriq (an additional brand name for cabozantinib) has been marketed for thyroid cancer and is being studied for NETs. In addition, Avastin is an anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody being studied for NETs. 124 Fruquintinib Approved VEGF inhibitors on the market for the treatment of CRC include Avastin (anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody), Cyramza (anti-VEGFR2 monoclonal antibody), Stivarga (VEGFR/TIE2 inhibitor) and Zaltrap (ziv-aflibercept) (VEGF inhibitor). Cyramza is additionally approved for the treatment of NSCLC, gastric cancer, and a certain type of liver cancer. Avastin is approved for NSCLC and nintedanib is approved for the treatment of lung disease associated with fibrosis (under the name Ofev) as well asadeno-NSCLC in Europe (under the name Vargatef). Other VEGFR inhibitors being developed for the treatment of NSCLC include Cabometyx, Lenvima (lenvatinib), lucitanib and Caprelsa. VEGFR inhibitors being developed for the treatment of gastric cancer include dovitinib, telatinib and Stivarga. In China, Aitan (apatinib) has been approved for the treatment of third-line gastric cancer and Focus-V (anlotinib) has been approved for the treatment of third-line NSCLC. Sovleplenib and Amdizalisib There has been extensive research on oral small-molecule Syk inhibitors due to the major unmet medical need in inflammation and oncology. However, many Syk inhibitors have failed in the development stage due to their off-target toxicity as a result of lower kinase selectivity and possibly poor pharmacokinetic properties. The only small molecule drug candidate targeting Syk specifically has been approved to date is Tavalisse for the treatment of chronic immune thrombocytopenia. Lanraplenib (GS-9876) is a Syk inhibitor that has been studied for autoimmune diseases, but not currently in active development for autoimmune diseases. Syk inhibitors currently in clinical studies for hematological cancers include entospletinib (AML harboring NPM1c or FLT3 mutations), lanraplenib and cerdulatinib (lymphoma). Currently there are three PI3K inhibitors approved and on the market. In February 2021, Ukoniq (umbralisib) was approved for the treatment of relapsed or refractory marginal zone lymphoma and follicular lymphoma, although the FDA is currently investigating possible increased risk of death associated with umbralisib. Aliqopa (copanlisib, pan-PI3K inhibitor) was approved for relapsed follicular lymphoma as a monotherapy and is being studied in combination with rituximab as well as rituximab and chemotherapy in NHL. Copiktra (duvelisib, PI3K-δ/γ dual inhibitor) is currently approved for relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma as a monotherapy. In January 2022, Incyte announced that it is withdrawing its NDA for parsaclisib due to the investment required to complete a post marketing confirmatory study within the timeframe required by the FDA. In addition, several drug candidates that inhibit PI3Kδ are in clinical development for hematological cancers, including zandelisib (ME-401), ACP 319 and YY-20394. Tazemetostat The most common treatments for follicular lymphoma are chemotherapies, usually combined with the monoclonal antibody Rituxan, or Gazyva, which is an antibody that acts against the same target as Rituxan, CD20. While Rituxan and a number of other widely used anti-cancer agents are labeled broadly for follicular lymphoma, no therapies are approved specifically for the treatment of tumors associated with EZH2 activating mutations. There are a number of companies currently evaluating investigational agents in the relapsed and refractory follicular lymphoma patient setting. In the relapsed and refractory follicular lymphoma patient setting, both current and near-term competition exists. Current competition includes CD20 combinations along with multiple PI3K inhibitors. Near term competition includes companies currently evaluating investigational agents with varying mechanisms of action. Other than tazemetostat, there are no therapies which have been approved specifically for the treatment of epithelioid sarcoma. Epithelioid sarcoma, an INI1-negative tumor, is typically treated with surgical resection when it presents as localized disease. When epithelioid sarcoma recurs or metastasizes, it may be treated with systemic chemotherapy or investigational agents because, other than tazemetostat, there are no approved systemic therapies specifically indicated for this disease. To the best of our knowledge there are no competitive products in development specifically for epithelioid sarcoma. However, we are aware of several clinical trials run by competitors that recruit patients with soft tissue sarcoma, which is inclusive of epithelioid sarcoma. 125 HMPL-306 Tilbsovo (ivosidenib) is an approved therapy that specifically inhibits IDH1 while Idhifa (enasidenib) is an approved therapy that specifically inhibits IDH2. To date, there are no approved therapies that inhibit both IDH1 and IDH2, which could be advantageous in deferring resistance to therapy. A pan-IDH inhibitor, vorasidenib, is currently in late stage development for glioma. An IDH 1/2 inhibitor, LY3410738, is in Phase 1 development for both hematological malignancies and solid tumors. Other IDH1 inhibitors in development include olutasidenib (FT-2102), BAY1436032, and DS-1001b. HMPL-760 Approved first and second generation BTK inhibitors include Imbruvica, Calquence, Tirabrutinib, Brukinsa and orelabrutinib. Rolling NDA submission started for pirtobruntinib in mantle cell lymphoma in December 2021. Nemtabrutinib, orelabrutinib, TG-1701 and JNJ-64264681 are in development for cancer. A number of other BTK inhibitors, such as evobrutinib, remibrutinib, tolebrutinib, rilzabrutinib, SAR444727 and fenebrutinib, are in development for immunological diseases. HMPL-453 To date, Balversa, Pemazyre and Truseltiq are the only approved therapies that specifically target the FGFR signaling pathway. Late-stage studies are underway for futibatinib and derazantinib. Additionally, a FGFR specific monoclonal antibody, bemarituzumab, is in Phase III development for gastric cancer and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma. Several small molecule FGFR TKI are in clinical trials for solid tumors, including AZD4547, rogaratinib, fisogatinib (BLU-554), famitinib, Debio 1347, E7090, ICP-192, ICP-105, ASP5878, FGF401, RLY-4008 and HH185. HMPL-295 To date, no ERK inhibitor drug has been approved. A number of ERK inhibitors, including BVD-523, LY3214996 and LLT462, among others are being developed in clinical settings as a single agent and/or in combination with various therapeutical agents. HMPL-653 Turalio is the only FDA approved CSF-1R inhibitor drug and currently there is no CSF-1R inhibitors approved in China. CSF-1R inhibitors in development globally include axatilimab, BLZ945, vimseltinib, AMB-05X, NMS-03592088, ARRY-382, JNJ-40346527, emactuzumab, AMG820 and IMC-CS4. Other Ventures Competition Our Other Ventures operations which focus on prescription drugs compete in the pharmaceutical industry in China, which is highly competitive and is characterized by a number of established, large pharmaceutical companies, as well as some smaller emerging pharmaceutical companies. This business faces competition from other pharmaceutical companies in China engaged in the development, production, marketing or sales of prescription drugs, in particular cardiovascular drugs. The barrier to entry for the PRC pharmaceutical industry primarily relates to regulatory requirements in connection with the production of pharmaceutical products and new product launches. The identities of the key competitors with respect to our prescription drugs business vary by product, and, in certain cases, different competitors that have greater financial resources than us may elect to focus these resources on developing, importing or in-licensing and marketing products in the PRC that are substitutes for our products and may have broader sales and marketing infrastructure with which to do so. We believe that we compete primarily on the basis of brand recognition, pricing, sales network, promotion activities, product efficacy, safety and reliability. We believe our Other Ventures’ continued success will depend on our business’s capability to: maintain profitability of its products, obtain and maintain regulatory approvals, develop drug candidates with market potential, maintain an efficient operational model, apply technologies to production lines, attract and retain talented personnel, maintain high quality standards, and effectively market and promote the products sold by our prescription drugs business. 126 Our Other Ventures operations which focus on consumer health products competes in a highly fragmented market in Asia, particularly in our primary market in China. We believe that this business competes primarily on the basis of brand recognition, pricing, sales network, promotion activities, product safety and reliability. We believe our continued success will depend on our business’s capability to: successfully market and distribute in-licensed products such as Earth’s Best infant formula, maintain an efficient operational model, attract and retain talented personnel, maintain high quality standards, and effectively market and promote the products sold by our business. Patents and Other Intellectual Property Our commercial success depends in part on our ability to obtain and maintain proprietary or intellectual property protection for our Oncology/Immunology drugs and drug candidates, our Other Ventures’ products and other know-how. Our policy is to seek to protect our proprietary and intellectual property position by, among other methods, filing patent applications in various jurisdictions related to our proprietary technology, inventions and improvements that are important to the development and implementation of our business. We also rely on trade secrets, know-how and continuing technological innovation to develop and maintain our proprietary and intellectual property position. Patents We and our joint ventures file patent applications directed to our Oncology/Immunology drugs and drug candidates and our Other Ventures’ products in an effort to establish intellectual property positions with regard to new small molecule compounds and/or extracts of natural herbs, their compositions as well as their medical uses in the treatment of diseases. In relation to our Oncology/Immunology operations, we also file patent applications directed to crystalline forms, formulations, processes, key intermediates, and secondary uses as clinical trials for our drug candidates evolve. We file such patent applications in major market jurisdictions, including but not limited to the United States, Europe, Japan and China. Our Oncology/Immunology Patents As of December 31, 2021, we had 270 issued patents, including 21 Chinese patents, 24 U.S. patents and 14 European patents, 184 patent applications pending in the above major market jurisdictions, and 13 pending PCT patent applications relating to the drugs and drug candidates of our Oncology/Immunology operations. The intellectual property portfolios for our most advanced drug candidates are summarized below. With respect to most of the pending patent applications covering our drug candidates, prosecution has yet to commence. Prosecution is a lengthy process, during which the scope of the claims initially submitted for examination by the relevant patent office is often significantly narrowed by the time when they issue, if they issue at all. We expect this to be the case for our pending patent applications referred to below. Savolitinib—The intellectual property portfolio for savolitinib contains two patent families.

She Xiang Bao Xin Pills. As of December 31, 2021, Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals held an invention patent in China directed to the formulation of the She Xiang Bao Xin pill. Under PRC law, invention patents are granted for new technical innovations with respect to products or processes. Invention patents in China have a maximum term of 20 years. This patent will expire in 2029. The “Confidential State Secret Technology” status protection on the She Xiang Bao Xin pill technology held by Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals, as certified by China’s Ministry of Science and Technology and State Secrecy Bureau, is currently active. Danning Tablets. As of December 31, 2021, Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals also held an invention patent in China directed to the formulation of the Danning tablet. This patent will expire in 2027. 130 Patent Term The term of a patent depends upon the laws of the country in which it is issued. In most jurisdictions, a patent term is 20 years from the earliest filing date of a non-provisional patent application. In the United States, a patent’s term may be lengthened by patent term adjustment, which compensates a patentee for administrative delays by the USPTO in examining and granting a patent, or may be shortened if a patent is terminally disclaimed over an earlier filed patent. The term of a patent that covers a drug or biological product may also be eligible for patent term extension when FDA approval is granted, provided statutory and regulatory requirements are met. In the future, if and when our drug candidates receive approval by the FDA or other regulatory authorities, we expect to apply for patent term extensions on issued patents covering those drugs, depending upon the length of the clinical trials for each drug and other factors. There can be no assurance that any of our pending patent applications will be issued or that we will benefit from any patent term extension. As with other pharmaceutical companies, our or our joint ventures’ ability to maintain and solidify our proprietary and intellectual property position for our drugs and drug candidates or our or their products and technologies will depend on our or our joint ventures’ success in obtaining effective patent claims and enforcing those claims if granted. However, our or our joint ventures’ pending patent applications and any patent applications that we or they may in the future file or license from third parties may not result in the issuance of patents. We also cannot predict the breadth of claims that may be allowed or enforced in our or our joint ventures’ patents. Any issued patents that we may receive in the future may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. For example, we cannot be certain of the priority of filing covered by pending third-party patent applications. If third parties prepare and file patent applications in the United States, China or other markets that also claim technology or therapeutics to which we or our joint ventures have rights, we or our joint ventures may have to participate in interference proceedings, which could result in substantial costs to us, even if the eventual outcome is favorable to us, which is highly unpredictable. In addition, because of the extensive time required for clinical development and regulatory review of a drug candidate we may develop, it is possible that, before any of our drug candidates can be commercialized, any related patent may expire or remain in force for only a short period following commercialization, thereby limiting protection such patent would afford the respective product and any competitive advantage such patent may provide. Trade Secrets In addition to patents, we and our joint ventures rely upon unpatented trade secrets and know-how and continuing technological innovation to develop and maintain our or their competitive position. We and our joint ventures seek to protect our proprietary information, in part, by executing confidentiality agreements with our collaborators and scientific advisors, and non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality, and invention assignment agreements with our employees and consultants. We and our joint ventures have also executed agreements requiring assignment of inventions with selected scientific advisors and collaborators. The confidentiality agreements we and our joint ventures enter into are designed to protect our or our joint ventures’ proprietary information and the agreements or clauses requiring assignment of inventions to us or our joint ventures, as applicable, are designed to grant us or our joint ventures, as applicable, ownership of technologies that are developed through our or their relationship with the respective counterpart. We cannot guarantee, however, that these agreements will afford us or our joint ventures adequate protection of our or their intellectual property and proprietary information rights. Trademarks and Domain Names We conduct our business using trademarks with various forms of the “Hutchison”, “Chi-Med”, “Hutchison China MediTech”, “HUTCHMED”, “Elunate”, “Sulanda”, “Orpathys” and “Tazverik” brands, the logos used by HUTCHMED Limited, as well as domain names incorporating some or all of these trademarks. In April 2006, we entered into a brand license agreement (as amended and restated on June 15, 2021) with Hutchison Whampoa Enterprises Limited, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CK Hutchison, pursuant to which we have been granted a non-exclusive, non-transferrable, royalty-free right to use the “Hutchison”, “Hutchison China MediTech”, “Chi-Med”, “HUTCHMED” trademarks, domain names and other intellectual property rights owned by the CK Hutchison group in connection with the operation of our business worldwide. See “Connected Transactions” for further details. The Elunate and Orpathys trademarks are licensed to us in China by our collaboration partners Eli Lilly and AstraZeneca, respectively. The trademarks for the HUTCHMED Limited logo and “Sulanda” are owned by us. The Tazverik trademark is licensed to us in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau by our collaboration partner Epizyme. 131 In addition, our joint ventures seek trademark protection in China for their products. As of December 31, 2021, our joint venture Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals owned a total of 12 trademarks in China related to products sold by it. For example, the name “Shang Yao” is a registered trademark of Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals in China for certain uses including pharmaceutical preparations. Raw Materials and Supplies Raw materials and supplies are ordered based on our or our joint ventures’ respective sales plans and reasonable order forecasts and are generally available from our or our joint ventures’ own cultivation operations and various third-party suppliers in quantities adequate to meet our needs. We typically order raw materials on short-term contract or purchase order basis and do not enter into long-term dedicated capacity or minimum supply arrangements. For our Oncology/Immunology operations, the active pharmaceutical ingredient used in our drug candidates are supplied to us from third-party vendors. Our ability to successfully develop our drug candidates, and to ultimately supply our commercial drugs in quantities sufficient to meet the market demand, depends in part on our ability to obtain the active pharmaceutical ingredients for these drugs in accordance with regulatory requirements and in sufficient quantities for commercialization and clinical testing. We generally aim to identify and qualify one or more manufacturers to provide such active pharmaceutical ingredients prior to submission of an NDA to the FDA and/or NMPA. We contract with a single supplier to manufacture and supply us with the active pharmaceutical ingredient for fruquintinib for commercial purposes and are in the process of engaging a second supplier. We have already validated the second supplier’s cGMP production processes and the application for this second supplier has been approved by the NMPA. We also contract with a single supplier to manufacture and supply us with the active pharmaceutical ingredient for surufatinib for commercial purposes. We contracted with a single supplier to provide active pharmaceutical ingredient and finished product for savolitinib. We manage the risk of price fluctuations and supply disruptions of active pharmaceutical ingredients by purchasing them in bulk quantities as these ingredients have a relatively long shelf life. Other than the foregoing, we do not currently have arrangements in place for a contingent or second-source supply of the active pharmaceutical ingredients for fruquintinib, surufatinib or savolitinib in the event any of our current suppliers of such active pharmaceutical ingredients or finished product cease their operations for any reason, which may lead to an interruption in our production and operations. However, to date, while we have experienced price fluctuations associated with our raw materials, we have not experienced any material disruptions in the supply of the active pharmaceutical ingredients or the other raw materials we and our joint venture partners use. See Item 3.D. “Risk Factors—Certain of our joint venture parties principal products involve the cultivation or sourcing of key raw materials including botanical products, and any quality control or supply failure or price fluctuations could adversely affect our ability to manufacture our products and/or could materially and adversely affect our operating results.” Quality Control and Assurance We have our own independent quality control system and devote significant attention to quality control for the designing, manufacturing and testing of our products. We have established a strict quality control system in accordance with the NMPA regulations. Our laboratories fully comply with the Chinese manufacturing guidelines and are staffed with highly educated and skilled technicians to ensure quality of all batches of product release. We monitor in real time our operations throughout the entire production process, from inspection of raw and auxiliary materials, manufacture, delivery of finished products, clinical testing at hospitals, to ethical sales tactics. Our quality assurance team is also responsible for ensuring that we are in compliance with all applicable regulations, standards and internal policies. Our senior management team is actively involved in setting quality policies and managing internal and external quality performance of our company and our joint venture Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals. Customers and Suppliers For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, we generated revenue of $75.7 million, $102.3 million and $188.9 million from our five largest customers, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, revenue from our five largest customers represented approximately 37%, 45% and 53% of our total revenue, respectively, and revenue from our largest customer in those periods represented approximately 13%, 16% and 16% of our revenue in the same periods, respectively. Save for Sinopharm, our five largest customers were independent third parties and none of our directors or their close associates or, to the knowledge of our directors, any shareholders who owned more than 5% of our issued ordinary shares had any interest in any of our five largest customers as of the date of the filing of this annual report. 132 In 2019, 2020 and 2021, Sinopharm, which jointly owns Hutchison Sinopharm with us, was one of our five largest customers. Sales to Sinopharm and/or its associates contributed 14%, 16% and 12% of our revenue in 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. Purchases from Sinopharm and/or its associates contributed less than 1% of our total purchases in 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, the total purchases from our five largest suppliers were $46.8 million, $58.0 million and $100.6 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, our purchases from our five largest suppliers represented 28% of our total purchases. Save for Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals and Hain Celestial, all of our five largest suppliers were independent third parties and none of our directors or their close associates or, to the knowledge of our directors, any shareholder who owned more than 5% of our issued ordinary shares had any interest in any of our five largest suppliers as of the date of the filing of this annual report. Contract Research Organizations Although we or our collaboration partners design the clinical trials for our drug candidates, CROs conduct most of the clinical trials. Our agreements with CROs are usually structured as master service agreements which set out the services to be performed, payment schedule, term and confirmation that all intellectual rights arising out of or made in performance of the services are owned by us. We and our collaboration partners work with major global and Chinese CROs.

Regulations This section sets forth a summary of the most significant rules and regulations affecting our business activities in China and the United States. Government Regulation of Pharmaceutical Product Development and Approval PRC Regulation of Pharmaceutical Product Development and Approval Since China’s entry to the World Trade Organization in 2001, the PRC government has made significant efforts to standardize regulations, develop its pharmaceutical regulatory system and strengthen intellectual property protection. 133 Regulatory Authorities In the PRC, the NMPA is the authority that monitors and supervises the administration of pharmaceutical products and medical appliances and equipment as well as cosmetics. The NMPA’s predecessor, the State Drug Administration, or the SDA, was established on August 19, 1998 as an organization under the State Council to assume the responsibilities previously handled by the Ministry of Health of the PRC, or the MOH, the State Pharmaceutical Administration Bureau of the PRC and the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the PRC. The SDA was replaced by the State Food and Drug Administration, or the SFDA, in March 2003 and was later reorganized into the China Food and Drug Administration, or the CFDA, in March 2013. On March 17, 2018, the First Session of the Thirteenth National People’s Congress approved the State Council Institutional Reform Proposal, according to which the duties of the CFDA were consolidated into the State Administration for Market Regulation, or the SAMR, and the NMPA was established under the management and supervision of the SAMR. The primary responsibilities of the NMPA include:  monitoring and supervising the administration of pharmaceutical products, medical appliances and equipment as well as cosmetics in the PRC;    formulating administrative rules and policies concerning the supervision and administration of cosmetics and the pharmaceutical industry; evaluating, registering and approving of new drugs, generic drugs, imported drugs and traditional Chinese medicine; undertaking the standard, registration, quality and post marketing risk management of pharmaceutical products, medical appliances and equipment as well as cosmetics; and examining, evaluating and supervising the safety of pharmaceutical products, medical appliances and equipment as well as that of cosmetics. The MOH is an authority at the ministerial level under the State Council and is primarily responsible for national public health. Following the establishment of the SFDA in 2003, the MOH was put in charge of the overall administration of national health in the PRC excluding the pharmaceutical industry. In March 2008, the State Council placed the SFDA under the management and supervision of the MOH. The MOH performs a variety of tasks in relation to the health industry such as establishing social medical institutes and producing professional codes of ethics for public medical personnel. The MOH is also responsible for overseas affairs, such as dealings with overseas companies and governments. In 2013, the MOH and the National Population and Family Planning Commission were integrated into the National Health and Family Planning Commission of the PRC, or the NHFPC. On March 17, 2018, the First Session of the Thirteenth National People’s Congress approved the State Council Institutional Reform Proposal, according to which the responsibilities of NHFPC and certain other governmental authorities are consolidated into the National Health Commission, or the NHC, and the NHFPC shall no longer be maintained. The responsibilities of the NHC include organizing the formulation of national drug policies, the national essential medicine system and the National Essential Medicines List and drafting the administrative rules for the procurement, distribution and use of national essential medicines. Healthcare System Reform The PRC government has promulgated several healthcare reform policies and regulations to reform the healthcare system. On March 17, 2009, the Central Committee of the PRC Communist Party and the State Council jointly issued the Guidelines on Strengthening the Reform of Healthcare System. On March 18, 2009, the State Council issued the Implementation Plan for the Recent Priorities of the Healthcare System Reform (2009-2011). On July 22, 2009, the General Office of the State Council issued the Five Main Tasks of Healthcare System Reform in 2009. Highlights of these healthcare reform policies and regulations include the following:  The overall objective of the reform is to establish a basic healthcare system to cover both urban and rural residents and provide the Chinese people with safe, effective, convenient and affordable healthcare services. The PRC government aims to extend basic medical insurance coverage to at least 90% of the country’s population by 2011 and increase the amount of subsidies on basic medical insurance for urban residents and rural cooperative medical insurance to RMB120 ($18.32) per person per year by 2010. By 2020, a basic healthcare system covering both urban and rural residents should be established. 134  The reforms aim to promote orderly market competition and improve the efficiency and quality of the healthcare system to meet the various medical needs of the Chinese population. From 2009, basic public healthcare services such as preventive healthcare, maternal and child healthcare and health education will be provided to urban and rural residents. In the meantime, the reforms also encourage innovations by pharmaceutical companies to eliminate low-quality and duplicative products.  The five key tasks of the reform from 2009 to 2011 are as follows: (1) to accelerate the formation of a basic medical insurance system; (2) to establish a national essential drug system; (3) to establish a basic healthcare service system; (4) to promote equal access to basic public healthcare services; and (5) to promote the reform of public hospitals. Drug Administration Laws and Regulations The PRC Drug Administration Law as promulgated by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress in 1984 and the Implementing Measures of the PRC Drug Administration Law as promulgated by the MOH in 1989 have laid down the legal framework for the establishment of pharmaceutical manufacturing enterprises, pharmaceutical trading enterprises and for the administration of pharmaceutical products including the development and manufacturing of new drugs and medicinal preparations by medical institutions. The PRC Drug Administration Law also regulates the packaging, trademarks and the advertisements of pharmaceutical products in the PRC. Certain revisions to the PRC Drug Administration Law took effect on December 1, 2001. They were formulated to strengthen the supervision and administration of pharmaceutical products, and to ensure the quality and the safety of pharmaceutical products for human use. The revised PRC Drug Administration Law applies to entities and individuals engaged in the development, production, trade, application, supervision and administration of pharmaceutical products. It regulates and prescribes a framework for the administration of pharmaceutical manufacturers, pharmaceutical trading companies, and medicinal preparations of medical institutions and the development, research, manufacturing, distribution, packaging, pricing and advertisements of pharmaceutical products. The PRC Drug Administration Law was later amended on December 28, 2013 and April 24, 2015 by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress. It provides the basic legal framework for the administration of the production and sale of pharmaceutical products in China and covers the manufacturing, distributing, packaging, pricing and advertising of pharmaceutical products. On August 26, 2019, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress promulgated the amended PRC Drug Administration Law, which took effect on December 1, 2019. The amendment brought a series of changes to the drug supervision and administration system, including but not limited to the clarification of the MAH system, pursuant to which the MAH shall assume responsibilities for non-clinical studies, clinical trials, manufacturing and marketing, post-marketing studies, monitoring, reporting and handling of adverse reactions of the drug. The amendment also stipulated that the PRC supports the innovation of drugs with clinical value and specific or special effects on human diseases, encourages the development of drugs with new therapeutic mechanisms and promotes the technological advancement of such drugs. 135 According to the PRC Drug Administration Law, no pharmaceutical products may be produced without a pharmaceutical production license. A manufacturer of pharmaceutical products must obtain a pharmaceutical production license from one of NMPA’s provincial level branches in order to commence production of pharmaceuticals. Prior to granting such license, the relevant government authority will inspect the manufacturer’s production facilities, and decide whether the sanitary conditions, quality assurance system, management structure and equipment within the facilities have met the required standards. The PRC Drug Administration Implementation Regulations promulgated by the State Council took effect on September 15, 2002 and were later amended on February 6, 2016 and March 2, 2019 to provide detailed implementation regulations for the revised PRC Drug Administration Law. With respect to the latest revision of the PRC Drug Administration Law, promulgated on August 26, 2019 and effective on December 1, 2019, there are no corresponding revised PRC Drug Administration Implementation Regulations. Examination and Approval of New Medicines On January 22, 2020, the NMPA promulgated the Administrative Measures on the Registration of Pharmaceutical Products, or the Registration Measures, which became effective on July 1, 2020. According to the Registration Measures, an applicant who has obtained a drug registration certificate shall be a drug MAH. The approval process for medicines seeking marketing authorization mainly consists of the following steps:   upon the completion of pharmaceutical, pharmacological and toxicological research and related activities, an application for clinical trial will be submitted to the Center for Drug Evaluation of the NMPA, or the Center for Drug Evaluation, for review. The Center for Drug Evaluation will organize pharmacists, medical personnel and other professionals to review the application for clinical trial. A decision on approval or non-approval of the application for clinical trial of drugs will be made within 60 working days from acceptance of the application, and the applicant shall be notified of the examination and approval result through the website of the Center for Drug Evaluation. If the applicant is not notified within the stipulated period, the application shall be deemed approved. The applicant who is approved to conduct clinical trial shall act as the sponsor for the clinical trial; if the application for clinical trial is approved, the sponsor shall, prior to conducting subsequent phases of the clinical trial, formulate a corresponding program for the clinical trial, carry out the clinical trial after the review and approval by the Ethics Committee, and submit the corresponding program for clinical trial and supporting materials on the website of the Center for Drug Evaluation. The applicant may proceed with the relevant clinical research (which is generally conducted in three phases for a new medicine under the Registration Measures) at institutions with appropriate qualification:  Phase I refers to the preliminary clinical trial for clinical pharmacology and body safety. It is conducted to observe the human body tolerance for new medicine and pharmacokinetics, so as to provide a basis for determining the prescription plan.  Phase I or II refers to the stage of preliminary evaluation of clinical effectiveness. The purpose is to preliminarily evaluate the clinical effectiveness and safety of the medicine used on patients with targeted indication, as well as to provide a basis for determining the Phase III clinical trial research plan and the volume under the prescription plan.  Phase III is a clinical trial stage to verify the clinical effectiveness. The purpose is to test and determine the clinical effectiveness and safety of the medicine used on patients with targeted indication, to evaluate the benefits and risks thereof and, eventually, to provide sufficient basis for review of the medicine registration application.  Phase IV refers to the stage of surveillance and research after the new medicines is launched. The purpose is to observe the clinical effectiveness and adverse effects of the medicine over a much larger patient population and longer time period than in Phase I to III clinical trials, and evaluate the benefits and risks when it is administered to general or special patient population in larger prescription volume;  the sponsor shall submit a safety update report during the research and development period on the website of the NMPA on a regular basis. The safety update report during the research and development period shall be submitted once a year, and within two months of every full year after the clinical drug trial is approved. The NMPA may require the sponsor to adjust the reporting period if deemed necessary; 136     after (i) completing relevant pharmaceutical, pharmacological and toxicological research, clinical drug trials, and other research supporting the marketing registration of a medicine, (ii) determining medicine quality standards, (iii) completing the verification of commercial scale manufacturing process, and (iv) making preparations for drug registration inspections, the applicant shall file the application for drug marketing authorization with the Center for Drug Evaluation; the Center for Drug Evaluation will organize pharmaceutical, medical and other professionals to review accepted drug marketing authorization applications in accordance with relevant requirements; upon acceptance of an application for drug registration, the Center for Drug Evaluation will conduct a preliminary examination within 40 working days from acceptance of the application; if there is a need to conduct an examination of manufacturing premises for drug registration, the Center for Drug Evaluation will notify the Centre for Food and Drug Inspection of the NMPA to organize an examination, provide the relevant materials required, and simultaneously notify the applicant as well as the provincial drug administrative authorities where the applicant or the manufacturing enterprise is located. The Centre for Food and Drug Inspection of the NMPA shall in principle complete the examination 40 working days before expiry of the review period, and give feedback to the Center for Drug Evaluation on the status and findings etc. of the examinations; and if the application is approved through the comprehensive review process, the drug shall be approved for marketing and a drug registration certificate shall be issued. The drug registration certificate will state the approval number for the drug, the holder of the certificate, and information of the manufacturing enterprise. A drug registration certificate for non-prescription drugs will also state the non-prescription drug category. Any applicant who is not satisfied with the Center for Drug Evaluation’s decision to deny an application during the application of the drug registration period can appeal within 15 working days after it is notified by the Center for Drug Evaluation of such decision. Upon termination for examination and approval of the application for drug registration, if the applicant is dissatisfied with the administrative licensing decision, the applicant may apply for administrative review or file an administrative lawsuit. In accordance with the Provisions on the Administration of Special Examination and Approval of Registration of New Drugs promulgated by the NMPA, issued and effective on January 7, 2009, an NDA that meets certain requirements as specified below will be handled with priority in the review and approval process, so-called “green-channel” approval. In addition, the applicant is entitled to provide additional materials during the review period besides those requested by the NMPA, and will have access to enhanced communication channels with the NMPA. Applicants for the registration of the following new drugs are entitled to request priority treatment in review and approval: (i) active ingredients and their preparations extracted from plants, animals and minerals, and newly discovered medical materials and their preparations that have not been sold in the China market, (ii) chemical drugs and their preparations and biological products that have not been approved for sale at its origin country or abroad, (iii) new drugs with obvious clinical treatment advantages for such diseases as AIDS, therioma, and rare diseases, and (iv) new drugs for diseases that have not been treated effectively. Under category (i) or (ii) above, the applicant for drug registration may apply for special examination and approval when applying for the clinical trial of new drugs; under category (iii) or (iv) above, the applicant may only apply for special examination and approval when applying for manufacturing. In addition, on July 7, 2020, the NMPA released the Priority Review and Approval Procedures for Drug Marketing Authorizations (for Trial Implementation), which further clarified that a fast track process for drug registration will be available to the following drugs with distinctive clinical value: (i) (a) drugs in urgent clinical demand and in shortage and (b) innovative drugs and modified new drugs for prevention and treatment of serious infectious diseases, rare diseases and other diseases; (ii) new varieties, dosage forms and specifications of children’s drugs that conform to children’s physiological characteristics; (iii) (a) vaccines that are in urgent need for disease prevention and control and (b) innovative vaccines; (iv) drugs that have been included in the procedures for Breakthrough Therapy Designation; (v) drugs that are subject to conditional approval; and (vi) other drugs which the NMPA deems applicable. It also specified that fast track status would be given to clinical trial applications for drugs with patent expiry within three years and manufacturing authorization applications for drugs with patent expiry within one year. Concurrent applications for new drug clinical trials which are already approved in the United States or E.U. are also eligible for fast track NMPA approval. 137 Drug Technology Transfer Regulations On August 19, 2009, the NMPA promulgated the Administrative Regulations for Technology Transfer Registration of Drugs to standardize the registration process of drug technology transfer, which includes application for, and evaluation, examination, approval and monitoring of, drug technology transfer. Drug technology transfer refers to the transfer of drug production technology by the owner to a drug manufacturer and the application for drug registration by the transferee according to the provisions in the new regulations. Drug technology transfer includes new drug technology transfer and drug production technology transfer. Conditions for the application for new drug technology transfer Applications for new drug technology transfer may be submitted prior to the expiration date of the monitoring period of the new drugs with respect to:   drugs with new drug certificates only; or drugs with new drug certificates and drug approval numbers. For drugs with new drug certificates only and not yet in the monitoring period, or drug substances with new drug certificates, applications for new drug technology transfer should be submitted prior to the respective expiration date of the monitoring periods for each drug registration category set forth in the new regulations and after the issue date of the new drug certificates. Conditions for the application of drug production technology transfer Applications for drug production technology transfer may be submitted if:  the transferor holds new drug certificates or both new drug certificates and drug approval numbers, and the monitoring period has expired or there is no monitoring period;  with respect to drugs without new drug certificates, both the transferor and the transferee are legally qualified drug manufacturing enterprises, one of which holds over 50% of the equity interests in the other, or both of which are majority- owned subsidiaries of the same drug manufacturing enterprise;  with respect to imported drugs with imported drug licenses, the original applicants for the imported drug registration may transfer these drugs to local drug manufacturing enterprises. Application for, and examination and approval of, drug technology transfer Applications for drug technology transfer should be submitted to the provincial drug administration. If the transferor and the transferee are located in different provinces, the provincial drug administration where the transferor is located should provide examination opinions. The provincial drug administration where the transferee is located is responsible for examining application materials for technology transfer and organizing inspections on the production facilities of the transferee. Medical examination institutes are responsible for testing three batches of drug samples. The Center for Drug Evaluation should further review the application materials, provide technical evaluation opinions and form a comprehensive evaluation opinion based on the site inspection reports and the testing results of the samples. The NMPA should determine whether to approve the application according to the comprehensive evaluation opinion of the Center for Drug Evaluation. An approval letter of supplementary application and a drug approval number will be issued to qualified applications. An approval letter of clinical trials will be issued when necessary. For rejected applications, a notification letter of the examination opinions will be issued with the reasons for rejection. 138 Permits and Licenses for Manufacturing and Registration of Drugs Production Licenses To manufacture pharmaceutical products in the PRC, a pharmaceutical manufacturing enterprise must first obtain a Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Permit issued by the relevant pharmaceutical administrative authorities at the provincial level where the enterprise is located. Among other things, such a permit must set forth the permit number, the name, legal representative and registered address of the enterprise, the site and scope of production, issuing institution, date of issuance and effective period. Each Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Permit issued to a pharmaceutical manufacturing enterprise is effective for a period of five years. The enterprise is required to apply for renewal of such permit within six months prior to its expiry and will be subject to reassessment by the issuing authorities in accordance with then prevailing legal and regulatory requirements for the purposes of such renewal. Business Licenses In addition to a Pharmaceutical Manufacturing permit, the manufacturing enterprise must also obtain a business license from the administrative bureau of industry and commerce at the local level. The name, legal representative and registered address of the enterprise specified in the business license must be identical to that set forth in the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Permit. Registration of Pharmaceutical Products All pharmaceutical products that are produced in the PRC must bear a registration number issued by the NMPA, with the exception of Chinese herbs and Chinese herbal medicines in soluble form. The medicine manufacturing enterprises must obtain the medicine registration number before manufacturing any medicine. Good Manufacturing Practices The Guidelines on Good Manufacturing Practices, as amended in 1998 and 2010, or the Guidelines, took effect on August 1, 1999 and set the basic standards for the manufacture of pharmaceuticals. These Guidelines cover issues such as the production facilities, the qualification of the personnel at the management level, production plant and facilities, documentation, material packaging and labeling, inspection, production management, sales and return of products and customers’ complaints. On October 23, 2003, the NMPA issued the Notice on the Overall Implementation and Supervision of Accreditation of Good Manufacturing Practice Certificates for Pharmaceuticals, which required all pharmaceutical manufacturers to apply for the GMP certificates by June 30, 2004. Those enterprises that failed to obtain the GMP certificates by December 31, 2004 would have their Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Permit revoked by the drug administrative authorities at the provincial level. On October 24, 2007, the NMPA issued Evaluation Standard on Good Manufacturing Practices which became effective on January 1, 2008. On December 1, 2019, per the Announcement of the NMPA on Issues Concerning the Implementation of the PRC Drug Administration Law, GMP certificates were abolished, though manufacturers remain to be obligated to operate in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Guidelines. The Notice of the NMPA on Promulgation of the Administrative Measures for Drug Inspection (for Trial Implementation), or Trial Drug Inspection Measures, was released and effective on May 24, 2021, which regulates the inspection, investigation, evidence collection and disposal and other actions carried out by medical products administrative authorities with respect to the manufacturing, distribution and use of drugs. The Trial Drug Inspection Measures stipulate that where an application for a pharmaceutical manufacturing permit is filed for the first time, on- site inspection shall be carried out in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Guidelines. Where an application for re-issuance of a pharmaceutical manufacturing permit is filed, a compliance inspection may be carried out if necessary based on the principles of risk management, taking into consideration the enterprise’s compliance with the laws and regulations on drug administration, the Guidelines, and the running of quality control systems. Marketing Authorization Holder System In May 2016, the State Council announced the piloting of the MAH system in ten provinces in China, where the market authorization/drug license holders are no longer required to be the actual manufacturers. The MAH system will allow for more flexibilities in contract manufacturing arrangements. 139 Under the authorization of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, the State Council issued the Pilot Plan for the Drug MAH Mechanism on May 26, 2016, providing a detailed pilot plan for the MAH system in ten provinces in China. Under the MAH system, domestic drug research and development institutions and individuals in the pilot regions are eligible to be holders of drug registrations without having to become drug manufacturers. The MAHs may engage contract manufacturers for manufacturing, provided that the contract manufacturers are licensed and are also located within the pilot regions. Drugs that qualify for the MAH system include: (1) new drugs (including biological products for curative uses of Class I, Class VII and biosimilars under the Administration of Drug Registration) approved after the implementation of the MAH system; (2) generic drugs approved as Category 3 or 4 drugs under the Reform Plan for Registration Category of Chemical Medicine issued by the NMPA on March 4, 2016; (3) previously approved generics that have passed equivalence assessments against their original drugs; and (4) previously approved drugs whose licenses were held by drug manufacturers originally located within the pilot regions but have moved out of the pilot regions due to corporate mergers or other reasons. On August 15, 2017, the NMPA issued the Circular on the Matters Relating to Promotion of the Pilot Program for the Drug MAH System, clarifying that the MAH shall be responsible for managing the whole manufacturing and marketing chain and the whole life cycle of drugs and shall assume full legal liabilities for the non-clinical drug study, clinical trials, manufacturing, marketing and distribution and adverse drug reaction monitoring. The MAH is permitted to entrust several drug manufacturers under the drug quality management system established by the MAH. The MAH shall submit a report of drug manufacturing, marketing, prescription, techniques, pharmacovigilance, quality control measures and certain other matters to the NMPA within 20 working days after the end of each year. On December 1, 2019, the latest amendment of Drug Administration Law came into effect, marking the success of the pilot work, and the MAH system has become a national system. Pursuant to the latest amendment, the legal representative and the key person-in- charge of a drug MAH shall be fully responsible for the quality of drugs. Administrative Protection for New Drugs The Administrative Measures Governing the Production Quality of Pharmaceutical Products, or the Administrative Measures for Production, provides detailed guidelines on practices governing the production of pharmaceutical products. A manufacturer’s factory must meet certain criteria in the Administrative Measures for Production, which include: institution and staff qualifications, production premises and facilities, equipment, hygiene conditions, production management, quality controls, product operation, maintenance of sales records and manner of handling customer complaints and adverse reaction reports. Distribution of Pharmaceutical Products According to the PRC Drug Administration Law and its implementing regulations and the Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Circulation of Pharmaceuticals, a manufacturer of pharmaceutical products in the PRC can only engage in the trading of the pharmaceutical products that the manufacturer has produced itself. In addition, such manufacturer can only sell its products to:  wholesalers and distributors holding Pharmaceutical Distribution Permits;  other holders of Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Permits; or  medical practitioners holding Medical Practice Permits. A pharmaceutical manufacturer in the PRC is prohibited from selling its products to end-users, or individuals or entities other than holders of Pharmaceutical Distribution Permits, the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Permits or the Medical Practice Permits. The granting of a Pharmaceutical Distribution Permit to wholesalers shall be subject to approval of the provincial level drug regulatory authorities, while the granting of a retailer permit shall be subject to the approval of the drug regulatory authorities above the county level. Unless otherwise expressly approved, no pharmaceutical wholesaler may engage in the retail of pharmaceutical products, nor may pharmaceutical retailers engage in wholesaling. A pharmaceutical distributor shall satisfy the following requirements:  personnel with pharmaceutical expertise as qualified according to law; 140    business site, facilities, warehousing and sanitary environment compatible to the pharmaceutical products being distributed; quality management system and personnel compatible to the pharmaceutical products being distributed; and rules and regulations to ensure the quality of the pharmaceutical products being distributed. Operations of pharmaceutical distributors shall be conducted in accordance with the Pharmaceutical Operation Quality Management Rules. Pharmaceutical distributors must keep true and complete records of any pharmaceutical products purchased, distributed or sold with the generic name of such products, specification, approval code, term, manufacturer, purchasing or selling party, price and date of purchase or sale. A pharmaceutical distributor must keep such record at least until one year after the expiry date of such products and in any case, such record must be kept for no less than three years. Penalties may be imposed for any violation of record-keeping. Pharmaceutical distributors can only distribute pharmaceutical products obtained from those with a Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Permit and a Pharmaceutical Distribution Permit. On December 26, 2016, the Medical Reform Office of the State Council, the National Health and Family Planning Commission, the NMPA and other five government authorities promulgated the “Two-Invoice System” Opinions, which became effective on the same date. On April 25, 2017, the General Office of the State Council further promulgated the Notice on Issuing the Key Working Tasks for Deepening the Reform of Medicine and Health System in 2017. According to these rules, a two-invoice system is encouraged to be gradually adopted for drug procurement. The two-invoice system generally requires a drug manufacturer to issue only one invoice to its distributor followed by the distributor issuing a second invoice directly to the end customer hospital. Only one distributor is permitted to distribute drug products between the manufacturer and the hospital. The system also encourages manufacturers to sell drug products directly to hospitals. Public medical institutions are required to adopt the two-invoice system, and its full implementation nationwide is targeted for 2018. As of the date of the filing of this annual report, the relevant local rules with respect to the “Two-Invoice System” have been promulgated in some provinces and municipal cities in the PRC, and the reform is still in progress. Private medical institutions are encouraged but not yet required to adopt the two-invoice system. Pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors who fail to implement the two-invoice system may be disqualified from attending future bidding events or providing distribution for hospitals and blacklisted for drug procurement practices. These rules aim to consolidate drug distribution and reduce drug prices. The impact on our company is that Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals was required to restructure its distribution and logistics network and Hutchison Sinopharm began to shift its prior Seroquel distribution model to a fee-for-service model. For more details, please refer to Item 4.B. “Business Overview—Other Ventures.” Foreign Investment and “State Secret” Technology Drugs The interpretation of certain PRC laws and regulations governing foreign investment and “state secret” technology is uncertain. Under the Special Administrative Measures (Negative List) for Foreign Investment Access, or the Negative List, published by the MOFCOM and the China National Development and Reform Commission or the NDRC. Under the Catalogue, “manufacturing of modern Chinese medicines with confidential proprietary formula” has been deemed prohibited for any foreign investment. The technology and know-how of the She Xiang Bao Xin pill is classified as “state secret” technology by China’s Ministry of Science and Technology, or the MOST, and the National Administration for the Protection of State Secrets, or NAPSS. 141 There are currently no PRC laws or regulations or official interpretations, and therefore there can be no assurance, as to whether the use of “state secret” technology constitutes the “manufacturing of Chinese medicines with confidential proprietary formula” under the Negative List. However, under the Rules on Confidentiality of Science and Technology promulgated by the State Science and Technology Commission (the predecessor of the MOST and the NAPSS) on January 6, 1995, cooperation with foreign parties or establishing joint ventures with foreign parties in respect of state secret technology is expressly allowed, provided that such cooperation has been duly approved by the relevant science and technology authorities. The establishment of Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals as a sino-foreign joint venture, including the re-registration of licenses for She Xiang Bao Xin pills in its name, was approved by the local counterpart of the MOFCOM and the Shanghai Drug Administration in 2001. Subsequently, the “Confidential State Secret Technology” status protection for She Xiang Bao Xin pills was also granted in 2005 to Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals as a sino- foreign joint venture by the MOST and NAPSS. Consequently, we believe Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals is in compliance with all applicable PRC laws and regulations governing foreign investment and “state secret” technology. Moreover, we believe that our other joint ventures and wholly-foreign owned enterprises in the PRC are also in compliance with all applicable PRC laws and regulations governing foreign investment. U.S. Regulation of Pharmaceutical Product Development and Approval In the United States, the FDA regulates drugs under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, and the Public Health Service Act, or PHSA, and their implementing regulations. The process of obtaining approvals and the subsequent compliance with appropriate federal, state and local rules and regulations requires the expenditure of substantial time and financial resources. Failure to comply with the applicable U.S. regulatory requirements at any time during the product development process, approval process or after approval may subject an applicant and/or sponsor to a variety of administrative or judicial sanctions, including refusal by FDA to approve pending applications, withdrawal of an approval, imposition of a clinical hold, issuance of warning letters and other types of enforcement correspondence, product recalls, product seizures, total or partial suspension of production or distribution, injunctions, fines, refusals of government contracts, restitution, disgorgement of profits, or civil or criminal investigations and penalties brought by FDA and the U.S. Department of Justice, or DOJ, or other governmental entities. Drugs are also subject to other federal, state and local statutes and regulations. Our drug candidates must be approved by the FDA through the NDA process before they may be legally marketed in the United States. The process required by the FDA before a drug may be marketed in the United States generally involves the following:         completion of extensive pre-clinical studies, sometimes referred to as pre-clinical laboratory tests, pre-clinical animal studies and formulation studies all performed in compliance with applicable regulations, including the FDA’s good laboratory practice regulations; submission to the FDA of an IND application which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin and must be updated annually; IRB approval before each clinical trial may be initiated; performance of adequate and well-controlled human clinical trials in accordance with study protocols, the applicable GCPs and other clinical trial-related regulations, to establish the safety and efficacy of the proposed drug product for its proposed indication; preparation and submission to the FDA of an NDA; a determination by the FDA within 60 days of its receipt of an NDA whether the NDA is acceptable for filing; if the FDA determines that the NDA is not sufficiently complete to permit substantive review, it may request additional information and decline to accept the application for filing until the information is provided; in-depth review of the NDA by FDA, which may include review by a scientific advisory committee; satisfactory completion of an FDA pre-approval inspection of the manufacturing facility or facilities at which the active pharmaceutical ingredient and finished drug product are produced to assess compliance with the FDA’s cGMP; 142    potential FDA audit of the pre-clinical and/or clinical trial sites that generated the data in support of the NDA; payment of user fees and FDA review and approval of the NDA prior to any commercial marketing or sale of the drug in the United States; and compliance with any post-approval requirements, such as REMS and post-approval studies required by FDA. Pre-clinical Studies The data required to support an NDA is generated in two distinct development stages: pre-clinical and clinical. For new chemical entities, or NCEs, the pre-clinical development stage generally involves synthesizing the active component, developing the formulation and determining the manufacturing process, evaluating purity and stability, as well as carrying out non-human toxicology, pharmacology and drug metabolism studies in the laboratory, which support subsequent clinical testing. The conduct of the pre-clinical tests must comply with federal regulations, including good laboratory practices. The sponsor must submit the results of the pre-clinical tests, together with manufacturing information, analytical data, any available clinical data or literature and a proposed clinical protocol, to the FDA as part of the IND. An IND is a request for authorization from the FDA to administer an investigational drug product to humans. The central focus of an IND submission is on the general investigational plan and the protocol(s) for human trials. The IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA raises concerns or questions regarding the proposed clinical trials and places the IND on clinical hold within that 30-day time period. In such a case, the IND sponsor must resolve with the FDA any outstanding concerns or questions before the clinical trial can begin. Some long-term pre-clinical testing, such as animal tests of reproductive adverse events and carcinogenicity, may continue after the IND is submitted. The FDA may also impose clinical holds on a drug candidate at any time before or during clinical trials due to safety concerns or non-compliance. Accordingly, submission of an IND does not guarantee the FDA will allow clinical trials to begin, or that, once begun, issues will not arise that could cause the trial to be suspended or terminated. Clinical Studies The clinical stage of development involves the administration of the drug product to human subjects or patients under the supervision of qualified investigators, generally physicians not employed by or under the trial sponsor’s control, in accordance with GCPs, which include the requirement that, in general, all research subjects provide their informed consent in writing for their participation in any clinical trial. Clinical trials are conducted under written study protocols detailing, among other things, the objectives of the clinical trial, dosing procedures, subject selection and exclusion criteria, and the parameters to be used to monitor subject safety and assess efficacy. Each protocol, and any subsequent amendments to the protocol, must be submitted to the FDA as part of the IND. Further, each clinical trial must be reviewed and approved by each institution at which the clinical trial will be conducted. An IRB is charged with protecting the welfare and rights of trial participants and considers such items as whether the risks to individuals participating in the clinical trials are minimized and are reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits. The IRB also reviews and approves the informed consent form that must be provided to each clinical trial subject or his or her legal representative and must monitor the clinical trial until completed. There are also requirements governing the reporting of ongoing clinical trials and completed clinical trial results to public registries. For example, information about certain clinical trials must be submitted within specific timeframes to the National Institutes of Health for public dissemination on their ClinicalTrials.gov website. Clinical trials are generally conducted in three sequential phases that may overlap or be combined, known as Phase I, Phase II and Phase III clinical trials.  Phase I: In a standard Phase I clinical trial, the drug is initially introduced into a small number of subjects who are initially exposed to a range of doses of the drug candidate. The primary purpose of these clinical trials is to assess the metabolism, pharmacologic action, appropriate dosing, side effect tolerability and safety of the drug.  Phase Ib: Although Phase I clinical trials are not intended to treat disease or illness, a Phase Ib trial is conducted in patient populations who have been diagnosed with the disease for which the study drug is intended. The patient population typically demonstrates a biomarker, surrogate, or other clinical outcome that can be assessed to show “proof-of-concept.” In a Phase Ib study, proof-of-concept typically confirms a hypothesis that the current prediction of a biomarker, surrogate or other outcome benefit is compatible with the mechanism of action of the study drug. 143  Phase I/II: A Phase I and Phase II trial for the same treatment is combined into a single study protocol. The drug is administered first to determine a maximum tolerable dose, and then additional patients are treated in the Phase II portion of the study to further assess safety and/or efficacy.   Phase II: The drug is administered to a limited patient population to determine dose tolerance and optimal dosage required to produce the desired benefits. At the same time, safety and further pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic information is collected, as well as identification of possible adverse effects and safety risks and preliminary evaluation of efficacy. Phase III: The drug is administered to an expanded number of patients, generally at multiple sites that are geographically dispersed, in well-controlled clinical trials to generate enough data to demonstrate the efficacy of the drug for its intended use, its safety profile, and to establish the overall benefit/risk profile of the drug and provide an adequate basis for drug approval and labeling of the drug product. Phase III clinical trials may include comparisons with placebo and/or other comparator treatments. The duration of treatment is often extended to mimic the actual use of a drug during marketing. Generally, two adequate and well-controlled Phase III clinical trials are required by the FDA for approval of an NDA. A pivotal study is a clinical study that adequately meets regulatory agency requirements for the evaluation of a drug candidate’s efficacy and safety such that it can be used to justify the approval of the drug. Generally, pivotal studies are also Phase III studies but may be Phase II studies if the trial design provides a well-controlled and reliable assessment of clinical benefit, particularly in situations where there is an unmet medical need. Phase IV clinical trials are conducted after initial regulatory approval, and they are used to collect additional information from the treatment of patients in the intended therapeutic indication or to meet other regulatory requirements. In certain instances, FDA may mandate the performance of Phase IV clinical trials. Progress reports detailing the results of the clinical trials must be submitted at least annually to the FDA, and more frequently if serious adverse events occur. Written IND safety reports must be submitted to the FDA and the investigators for serious and unexpected adverse events or any finding from tests in laboratory animals that suggests a significant risk to human subjects. The FDA, the IRB, or the clinical trial sponsor may suspend or terminate a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the research subjects or patients are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk. The FDA will typically inspect one or more clinical sites to assure compliance with GCPs and the integrity of the clinical data submitted. Similarly, an IRB can suspend or terminate approval of a clinical trial at its institution, or an institution it represents, if the clinical trial is not being conducted in accordance with the IRB’s requirements or if the drug has been associated with unexpected serious harm to patients. Additionally, some clinical trials are overseen by an independent group of qualified experts organized by the clinical trial sponsor, known as a data safety monitoring board or committee. This group provides authorization for whether or not a trial may move forward at designated check points based on access to certain data from the trial. Concurrent with clinical trials, companies usually complete additional animal studies and must also develop additional information about the chemistry and physical characteristics of the drug as well as finalize a process for manufacturing the drug in commercial quantities in accordance with cGMP requirements. The manufacturing process must be capable of consistently producing quality batches of the drug candidate and, among other things, cGMPs impose extensive procedural, substantive and recordkeeping requirements to ensure and preserve the long-term stability and quality of the final drug product. Additionally, appropriate packaging must be selected and tested and stability studies must be conducted to demonstrate that the drug candidate does not undergo unacceptable deterioration over its shelf life. NDA Submission and FDA Review Process Following trial completion, trial results and data are analyzed to assess safety and efficacy. The results of pre-clinical studies and clinical trials are then submitted to the FDA as part of an NDA, along with proposed labeling for the drug, information about the manufacturing process and facilities that will be used to ensure drug quality, results of analytical testing conducted on the chemistry of the drug, and other relevant information. The NDA is a request for approval to market the drug and must contain adequate evidence of safety and efficacy, which is demonstrated by extensive pre-clinical and clinical testing. The application includes both negative or ambiguous results of pre-clinical and clinical trials as well as positive findings. Data may come from company-sponsored clinical trials intended to test the safety and efficacy of a use of a drug, or from a number of alternative sources, including studies initiated by investigators. To support regulatory approval, the data submitted must be sufficient in quality and quantity to establish the safety and efficacy of the investigational drug product to the satisfaction of the FDA. Under federal law, the submission of most NDAs is subject to the payment of an application user fees; a waiver of such fees may be obtained under certain limited circumstances. FDA approval of an NDA must be obtained before a drug may be offered for sale in the United States. 144 In addition, under the Pediatric Research Equity Act of 2003, or PREA, an NDA or supplement to an NDA must contain data to assess the safety and efficacy of the drug for the claimed indications in all relevant pediatric subpopulations and to support dosing and administration for each pediatric subpopulation for which the drug is safe and effective. The FDA may grant deferrals for submission of data or full or partial waivers. Under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act, or PDUFA, as amended, each NDA must be accompanied by an application user fee. The FDA adjusts the PDUFA user fees on an annual basis. According to the FDA’s fee schedule, effective through September 30, 2021, the user fee for an application requiring clinical data, such as an NDA, is $2,875,842. PDUFA also imposes a program fee for prescription human drugs $336,432. Fee waivers or reductions are available in certain circumstances, including a waiver of the application fee for the first application filed by a small business. Additionally, no user fees are assessed on NDAs for products designated as orphan drugs, unless the product also includes a non-orphan indication. The FDA reviews all NDAs submitted before it accepts them for filing and may request additional information rather than accepting an NDA for filing. The FDA conducts a preliminary review of an NDA within 60 days of receipt and informs the sponsor by the 74th day after FDA’s receipt of the submission to determine whether the application is sufficiently complete to permit substantive review. Once the submission is accepted for filing, the FDA begins an in-depth review of the NDA. Under the goals and policies agreed to by the FDA under PDUFA, the FDA has 10 months from the filing date in which to complete its initial review of a standard NDA and respond to the applicant, and six months from the filing date for a “priority review” NDA. The FDA does not always meet its PDUFA goal dates for standard and priority review NDAs, and the review process is often significantly extended by FDA requests for additional information or clarification. After the NDA submission is accepted for filing, the FDA reviews the NDA to determine, among other things, whether the proposed drug is safe and effective for its intended use, and whether the drug is being manufactured in accordance with cGMP to assure and preserve the drug’s identity, strength, quality and purity. The FDA may refer applications for drugs or drug candidates that present difficult questions of safety or efficacy to an advisory committee, typically a panel that includes clinicians and other experts, for review, evaluation and a recommendation as to whether the application should be approved and under what conditions. The FDA is not bound by the recommendations of an advisory committee, but it considers such recommendations carefully when making decisions. The FDA may re-analyze the clinical trial data, which can result in extensive discussions between the FDA and us during the review process. Before approving an NDA, the FDA will conduct a pre-approval inspection of the manufacturing facilities for the new drug to determine whether they comply with cGMPs. The FDA will not approve the drug unless it determines that the manufacturing processes and facilities are in compliance with cGMP requirements and adequate to assure consistent production of the drug within required specifications. In addition, before approving an NDA, the FDA may also audit data from clinical trials to ensure compliance with GCP requirements. After the FDA evaluates the application, manufacturing process and manufacturing facilities where the drug product and/or its active pharmaceutical ingredient will be produced, it may issue an approval letter or a Complete Response Letter. An approval letter authorizes commercial marketing of the drug with specific prescribing information for specific indications. A Complete Response Letter indicates that the review cycle of the application is complete and the application is not ready for approval. A Complete Response Letter usually describes all of the specific deficiencies in the NDA identified by the FDA. The Complete Response Letter may require additional clinical data and/or an additional pivotal clinical trial(s), and/or other significant, expensive and time-consuming requirements related to clinical trials, pre-clinical studies or manufacturing. If a Complete Response Letter is issued, the applicant may either resubmit the NDA, addressing all of the deficiencies identified in the letter, or withdraw the application. Even if such data and information is submitted, the FDA may ultimately decide that the NDA does not satisfy the criteria for approval. Data obtained from clinical trials are not always conclusive and the FDA may interpret data differently than we interpret the same data. If a drug receives regulatory approval, the approval may be limited to specific diseases and dosages or the indications for use may otherwise be limited. Further, the FDA may require that certain contraindications, warnings or precautions be included in the drug labeling or may condition the approval of the NDA on other changes to the proposed labeling, development of adequate controls and specifications, or a commitment to conduct post-market testing or clinical trials and surveillance to monitor the effects of approved drugs. For example, the FDA may require Phase IV testing which involves clinical trials designed to further assess a drug’s safety and effectiveness and may require testing and surveillance programs to monitor the safety of approved drugs that have been commercialized. The FDA may also place other conditions on approvals including the requirement for a REMS to ensure that the benefits of a drug or biological product outweigh its risks. If the FDA concludes a REMS is needed, the sponsor of the NDA must submit a proposed REMS. The FDA will not approve the NDA without an approved REMS, if required. A REMS could include medication guides, physician communication plans, or elements to assure safe use, such as restricted distribution methods, patient registries and other risk minimization tools. Any of these limitations on approval or marketing could restrict the commercial promotion, distribution, prescription or dispensing of drugs. Drug approvals may be withdrawn for non-compliance with regulatory standards or if problems occur following initial marketing. 145 Section 505(b)(2) NDAs NDAs for most new drug products are based on two full clinical studies which must contain substantial evidence of the safety and efficacy of the proposed new product. These applications are submitted under Section 505(b)(1) of the FDCA. The FDA is, however, authorized to approve an alternative type of NDA under Section 505(b)(2) of the FDCA, which authorizes FDA to approve an NDA based on safety and effectiveness data that were not developed by the applicant. Section 505(b)(2) allows the applicant to rely, in part, on the FDA’s previous findings of safety and efficacy for a similar product, or published literature. Specifically, Section 505(b)(2) applies to NDAs for a drug for which the investigations relied upon to show that the drug is safe and effective for the intended use “were not conducted by or for the applicant and for which the applicant has not obtained a right of reference or use from the person by or for whom the investigations were conducted.” Section 505(b)(2) authorizes NDAs filed under Section 505(b)(2) may provide an alternate and potentially more expeditious pathway to FDA approval for new or improved formulations or new uses of previously approved products. If the 505(b)(2) applicant can establish that reliance on the FDA’s previous approval is scientifically appropriate, the applicant may eliminate the need to conduct certain pre-clinical or clinical studies of the new product. The FDA may also require companies to perform additional studies or measurements to support the change from the approved product. The FDA may then approve the new drug candidate for all or some of the label indications for which the referenced product has been approved, as well as for any new indication sought by the Section 505(b)(2) applicant. Abbreviated New Drug Applications for Generic Drugs In 1984, with passage of the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984, commonly referred to as the Hatch- Waxman Act, Congress authorized the FDA to approve generic drugs that are the same as drugs previously approved by the FDA under the NDA provisions of the statute. To obtain approval of a generic drug, an applicant must submit an abbreviated new drug application, or ANDA, to the agency. In support of such applications, a generic manufacturer may rely on the pre-clinical and clinical testing previously conducted for a drug product previously approved under an NDA, known as the reference listed drug, or RLD. Specifically, in order for an ANDA to be approved, the FDA must find that the generic version is identical to the RLD with respect to the active ingredients, the route of administration, the dosage form, and the strength of the drug. At the same time, the FDA must also determine that the generic drug is “bioequivalent” to the innovator drug. Under the statute, a generic drug is bioequivalent to a RLD if “the rate and extent of absorption of the drug do not show a significant difference from the rate and extent of absorption of the listed drug.” The Generic Drug User Fee Act (GDUFA), as reauthorized, sets forth performance goals for the FDA to review standard ANDA’s within 10 months of their submission, and priority ANDA’s within 8 months of their submission if they satisfy certain requirements. Upon approval of an ANDA, the FDA indicates that the generic product is “therapeutically equivalent” to the RLD and it assigns a therapeutic equivalence rating to the approved generic drug in its publication “Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations,” also referred to as the “Orange Book.” Physicians and pharmacists consider an “AB” therapeutic equivalence rating to mean that a generic drug is fully substitutable for the RLD. In addition, by operation of certain state laws and numerous health insurance programs, FDA’s designation of an “AB” rating often results in substitution of the generic drug without the knowledge or consent of either the prescribing physician or patient. Special FDA Expedited Review and Approval Programs The FDA has various programs, including fast track designation, accelerated approval, priority review and Breakthrough Therapy Designation, that are intended to expedite or simplify the process for the development and FDA review of drugs that are intended for the treatment of serious or life threatening diseases or conditions and demonstrate the potential to address unmet medical needs. The purpose of these programs is to provide important new drugs to patients earlier than under standard FDA review procedures. While these pathways can reduce the time it takes for the FDA to review an NDA, they do not guarantee that a product will receive FDA approval. In addition, the Right to Try Act of 2018 established a new regulatory pathway to increase access to unapproved, investigational treatments for patients diagnosed with life-threatening diseases or conditions who have exhausted approved treatment options and who are unable to participate in a clinical trial. 146 Fast Track Designation To be eligible for a fast track designation, the FDA must determine, based on the request of a sponsor, that a drug is intended to treat a serious or life threatening disease or condition for which there is no effective treatment and demonstrates the potential to address an unmet medical need for the disease or condition. Under the fast track program, the sponsor of a drug candidate may request the FDA to designate the product for a specific indication as a fast track product concurrent with or after the filing of the IND for the drug candidate. The FDA must make a fast track designation determination within 60 days after receipt of the sponsor’s request. In addition to other benefits, such as the ability to use surrogate endpoints and have greater interactions with the FDA, the FDA may initiate review of sections of a fast track product’s NDA before the application is complete. This rolling review is available if the applicant provides, and the FDA approves, a schedule for the submission of the remaining information and the applicant pays applicable user fees. However, the FDA’s time period goal for reviewing a fast track application does not begin until the last section of the NDA is submitted. A fast track drug also may be eligible for accelerated approval and priority review. In addition, the fast track designation may be withdrawn by the FDA if it believes that the designation is no longer supported by data emerging in the clinical trial process. Priority Review The FDA may give a priority review designation to drugs that offer major advances in treatment, or provide a treatment where no adequate therapy exists. A priority review means that the goal for the FDA to review an application is six months, rather than the standard review of 10 months under current PDUFA guidelines. These 6- and 10-month review periods are measured from the “filing” date rather than the receipt date for NDAs for new molecular entities, which typically adds approximately two months to the timeline for review and decision from the date of submission. Most products that are eligible for fast track designation are also likely to be considered appropriate to receive a priority review. Breakthrough Therapy Designation Under the provisions of the new Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act, or FDASIA, enacted by Congress in 2012, a sponsor can request designation of a drug candidate as a “breakthrough therapy,” typically by the end of the drug’s Phase II trials. A breakthrough therapy is defined as a drug that is intended, alone or in combination with one or more other drugs, to treat a serious or life-threatening disease or condition, and preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the drug may demonstrate substantial improvement over existing therapies on one or more clinically significant endpoints, such as substantial treatment effects observed early in clinical development. Drugs designated as breakthrough therapies are also eligible for accelerated approval. For breakthrough therapies, the FDA may take certain actions, such as intensive and early guidance on the drug development program, that are intended to expedite the development and review of an application for approval. Accelerated Approval FDASIA also codified and expanded on FDA’s accelerated approval regulations, under which FDA may approve a drug for a serious or life-threatening illness that provides meaningful therapeutic benefit over existing treatments based on a surrogate endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit, or on an intermediate clinical endpoint that can be measured earlier than irreversible morbidity or mortality, that is reasonably likely to predict an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other clinical benefit. A surrogate endpoint is a marker that does not itself measure clinical benefit but is believed to predict clinical benefit. This determination takes into account the severity, rarity or prevalence of the disease or condition and the availability or lack of alternative treatments. As a condition of approval, the FDA may require a sponsor of a drug receiving accelerated approval to perform Phase IV or post-marketing studies to verify and describe the predicted effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other clinical endpoint, and the drug may be subject to accelerated withdrawal procedures. All promotional materials for drug candidates approved under accelerated regulations are subject to prior review by the FDA. Even if a product qualifies for one or more of these programs, the FDA may later decide that the product no longer meets the conditions for qualification or decide that the time period for the FDA review or approval will not be shortened. Furthermore, fast track designation, priority review, accelerated approval and Breakthrough Therapy Designation, do not change the standards for approval and may not ultimately expedite the development or approval process. 147 Pediatric Trials Under PREA, an NDA or supplement thereto must contain data that are adequate to assess the safety and effectiveness of the drug product for the claimed indications in all relevant pediatric subpopulations, and to support dosing and administration for each pediatric subpopulation for which the product is safe and effective. With the enactment of FDASIA, a sponsor who is planning to submit a marketing application for a drug that includes a new active ingredient, new indication, new dosage form, new dosing regimen or new route of administration must also submit an initial Pediatric Study Plan, or PSP, within sixty days of an end-of-Phase II meeting or as may be agreed between the sponsor and the FDA. The initial PSP must include an outline of the pediatric study or studies that the sponsor plans to conduct, including study objectives and design, age groups, relevant endpoints and statistical approach, or a justification for not including such detailed information, and any request for a deferral of pediatric assessments or a full or partial waiver of the requirement to provide data from pediatric studies along with supporting information. The FDA and the sponsor must reach agreement on the PSP. A sponsor can submit amendments to an agreed-upon initial PSP at any time if changes to the pediatric plan need to be considered based on data collected from pre-clinical studies, early phase clinical trials, and/or other clinical development programs. The law requires the FDA to send a non-compliance letters to sponsors who do not submit their pediatric assessments as required. Under the Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act, or BPCA, certain therapeutic candidates may obtain an additional six months of exclusivity if the sponsor submits information requested by the FDA, relating to the use of the active moiety of the product candidate in children. Although the FDA may issue a written request for studies on either approved or unapproved indications, it may only do so where it determines that information relating to that use of a product candidate in a pediatric population, or part of the pediatric population, may produce health benefits in that population. FDASIA permanently reauthorized PREA and BPCA, modifying some of the requirements under these laws, and established priority review vouchers for rare pediatric diseases. Pursuant to the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, the FDA’s authority to award rare pediatric disease vouchers has been extended until September 30, 2024, and until September 30, 2026 for products that receive rare pediatric disease designation by September 30, 2024. Orphan Drug Designation and Exclusivity Under the Orphan Drug Act, the FDA may designate a drug product as an “orphan drug” if it is intended to treat a rare disease or condition (generally meaning that it affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States, or more in cases in which there is no reasonable expectation that the cost of developing and making a drug product available in the United States for treatment of the disease or condition will be recovered from sales of the product). A company must request orphan product designation before submitting an NDA. If the request is granted, the FDA will disclose the identity of the therapeutic agent and its potential use. Orphan product designation does not convey any advantage in or shorten the duration of the regulatory review and approval process, but the product will be entitled to orphan product exclusivity, meaning that the FDA may not approve any other applications for the same product for the same indication for seven years, except in certain limited circumstances. Competitors may receive approval of different products for the indication for which the orphan product has exclusivity and may obtain approval for the same product but for a different indication. If a drug or drug product designated as an orphan product ultimately receives regulatory approval for an indication broader than what was designated in its orphan product application, it may not be entitled to exclusivity. The 21st Century Cures Act, which became law in December 2016, expanded the types of studies that qualify for orphan drug grants. Orphan drug designation also may qualify an applicant for federal and possibly state tax credits relating to research and development costs. Post-Marketing Requirements Following approval of a new drug, a pharmaceutical company and the approved drug are subject to continuing regulation by the FDA, including, among other things, monitoring and recordkeeping activities, reporting to the applicable regulatory authorities of adverse experiences with the drug, providing the regulatory authorities with updated safety and efficacy information, drug sampling and distribution requirements, and complying with applicable promotion and advertising requirements. 148 Prescription drug advertising is subject to federal, state and foreign regulations. In the United States, the FDA regulates prescription drug promotion, including standards for direct-to-consumer advertising, restrictions on promoting drugs for uses or in patient populations that are not described in the drug’s approved labeling (known as “off-label use”), limitations on industry-sponsored scientific and educational activities, and requirements for promotional activities involving the internet. Although physicians may legally prescribe drugs for off-label uses, manufacturers may not market or promote such off-label uses. Prescription drug promotional materials must be submitted to the FDA in conjunction with their first use. Modifications or enhancements to the drug or its labeling or changes of the site of manufacture are often subject to the approval of the FDA and other regulators, which may or may not be received or may result in a lengthy review process. Any distribution of prescription drugs and pharmaceutical samples also must comply with the U.S. Prescription Drug Marketing Act, a part of the FDCA. In the United States, once a drug is approved, its manufacture is subject to comprehensive and continuing regulation by the FDA. The FDA regulations require that drugs be manufactured in specific approved facilities and in accordance with cGMP. Applicants may also rely on third parties for the production of clinical and commercial quantities of drugs, and these third parties must operate in accordance with cGMP regulations. cGMP regulations require among other things, quality control and quality assurance as well as the corresponding maintenance of records and documentation and the obligation to investigate and correct any deviations from cGMP. Drug manufacturers and other entities involved in the manufacture and distribution of approved drugs are required to register their establishments with the FDA and certain state agencies, and are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies for compliance with cGMP and other laws. Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money, and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain cGMP compliance. These regulations also impose certain organizational, procedural and documentation requirements with respect to manufacturing and quality assurance activities. NDA holders using third- party contract manufacturers, laboratories or packagers are responsible for the selection and monitoring of qualified firms, and, in certain circumstances, qualified suppliers to these firms. These firms and, where applicable, their suppliers are subject to inspections by the FDA at any time, and the discovery of violative conditions, including failure to conform to cGMP, could result in enforcement actions that interrupt the operation of any such facilities or the ability to distribute drugs manufactured, processed or tested by them. Discovery of problems with a drug after approval may result in restrictions on a drug, manufacturer, or holder of an approved NDA, including, among other things, recall or withdrawal of the drug from the market, and may require substantial resources to correct. The FDA also may require Phase IV testing, risk minimization action plans and post-marketing surveillance to monitor the effects of an approved drug or place conditions on an approval that could restrict the distribution or use of the drug. Discovery of previously unknown problems with a drug or the failure to comply with applicable FDA requirements can have negative consequences, including adverse publicity, judicial or administrative enforcement, warning letters from the FDA, mandated corrective advertising or communications with doctors, and civil or criminal penalties, among others. Newly discovered or developed safety or effectiveness data may require changes to a drug’s approved labeling, including the addition of new warnings and contraindications, and also may require the implementation of other risk management measures. Also, new government requirements, including those resulting from new legislation, may be established, or the FDA’s policies may change, which could delay or prevent regulatory approval of our drugs under development. Other U.S. Regulatory Matters Manufacturing, sales, promotion and other activities following drug approval are also subject to regulation by numerous regulatory authorities in addition to the FDA, including, in the United States, the Department of Justice, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, other divisions of the Department of Health and Human Services, the Drug Enforcement Administration for Controlled Substances, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Federal Trade Commission, the Occupational Safety & Health Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency and state and local governments. In the United States, sales, marketing and scientific/educational programs must also comply with state and federal fraud and abuse laws. Pricing and rebate programs must comply with the Medicaid rebate requirements of the U.S. Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 and more recent requirements in the Affordable Care Act. If drugs are made available to authorized users of the Federal Supply Schedule of the General Services Administration, additional laws and requirements apply. The handling of any controlled substances must comply with the U.S. Controlled Substances Act and Controlled Substances Import and Export Act. Drugs must meet applicable child-resistant packaging requirements under the U.S. Poison Prevention Packaging Act. Manufacturing, sales, promotion and other activities are also potentially subject to federal and state consumer protection and unfair competition laws. The distribution of pharmaceutical drugs is subject to additional requirements and regulations, including extensive record-keeping, licensing, storage and security requirements intended to prevent the unauthorized sale of pharmaceutical drugs. 149 The failure to comply with regulatory requirements subjects firms to possible legal or regulatory action. Depending on the circumstances, failure to meet applicable regulatory requirements can result in criminal prosecution, fines or other penalties, injunctions, recall or seizure of drugs, total or partial suspension of production, denial or withdrawal of product approvals, or refusal to allow a firm to enter into supply contracts, including government contracts. In addition, even if a firm complies with FDA and other requirements, new information regarding the safety or efficacy of a product could lead the FDA to modify or withdraw product approval. Prohibitions or restrictions on sales or withdrawal of future products marketed by us could materially affect our business in an adverse way. Changes in regulations, statutes or the interpretation of existing regulations could impact our business in the future by requiring, for example: (i) changes to our manufacturing arrangements; (ii) additions or modifications to product labeling; (iii) the recall or discontinuation of our products; or (iv) additional record-keeping requirements. If any such changes were to be imposed, they could adversely affect the operation of our business. U.S. Patent Term Restoration and Marketing Exclusivity Depending upon the timing, duration and specifics of the FDA approval of our drug candidates, some of our U.S. patents may be eligible for limited patent term extension under the Hatch-Waxman Act. The Hatch-Waxman Act permits a patent restoration term of up to five years as compensation for patent term lost during product development and the FDA regulatory review process. However, patent term restoration cannot extend the remaining term of a patent beyond a total of 14 years from the product’s approval date. The patent term restoration period is generally one-half the time between the effective date of an IND and the submission date of an NDA plus the time between the submission date of an NDA and the approval of that application. Only one patent applicable to an approved drug is eligible for the extension and the application for the extension must be submitted prior to the expiration of the patent. The USPTO, in consultation with the FDA, reviews and approves the application for any patent term extension or restoration. In 2018, the FDA advanced policies aimed at promoting drug competition and patient access to generic drugs, such as issuing guidance about making complex generic drugs and the circumstances in which approval of a generic product application may be delayed. Marketing exclusivity provisions under the FDCA can also delay the submission or the approval of certain marketing applications. The FDCA provides a five-year period of non-patent marketing exclusivity within the United States to the first applicant to obtain approval of an NDA for a NCE. A drug is a NCE if the FDA has not previously approved any other new drug containing the same active moiety, which is the molecule or ion responsible for the action of the drug substance. During the exclusivity period, the FDA may not accept for review an ANDA, or a 505(b)(2) NDA submitted by another company for another drug based on the same active moiety, regardless of whether the drug is intended for the same indication as the original innovator drug or for another indication, where the applicant does not own or have a legal right of reference to all the data required for approval. However, an application may be submitted after four years if it contains a certification of patent invalidity or non-infringement to one of the patents listed with the FDA by the innovator NDA holder. Specifically, the applicant must certify with respect to each relevant patent that: the required patent information has not been filed; the listed patent has expired; the listed patent has not expired, but will expire on a particular date and approval is sought after patent expiration, or the listed patent is invalid, unenforceable or will not be infringed by the new product. A certification that the new product will not infringe the already approved product’s listed patents or that such patents are invalid or unenforceable is called a Paragraph IV certification. If the applicant does not challenge the listed patents or indicate that it is not seeking approval of a patented method of use, the ANDA application will not be approved until all the listed patents claiming the referenced product have expired. If the ANDA applicant has provided a Paragraph IV certification to the FDA, the applicant must also send notice of the Paragraph IV certification to the NDA and patent holders once the ANDA has been accepted for filing by the FDA. The NDA and patent holders may then initiate a patent infringement lawsuit in response to the notice of the Paragraph IV certification. The filing of a patent infringement lawsuit within 45 days after the receipt of a Paragraph IV certification automatically prevents the FDA from approving the ANDA until the earlier of 30 months after the receipt of the Paragraph IV notice, expiration of the patent, or a decision in the infringement case that is favorable to the ANDA applicant. To the extent that the Section 505(b)(2) applicant relies on prior FDA findings of safety and efficacy, the applicant is required to certify to the FDA concerning any patents listed for the previously approved product in the Orange Book to the same extent that an ANDA applicant would. 150 The FDCA also provides three years of marketing exclusivity for an NDA, or supplement to an existing NDA if new clinical investigations, other than bioavailability studies, that were conducted or sponsored by the applicant are deemed by the FDA to be essential to the approval of the application, for example new indications, dosages or strengths of an existing drug. This three-year exclusivity covers only the modification for which the drug received approval on the basis of the new clinical investigations and does not prohibit the FDA from approving ANDAs for drugs containing the active agent for the original indication or condition of use. Five-year and three-year exclusivity will not delay the submission or approval of a full NDA. However, an applicant submitting a full NDA would be required to conduct or obtain a right of reference to all of the pre-clinical studies and adequate and well-controlled clinical trials necessary to demonstrate safety and effectiveness. Orphan drug exclusivity, as described above, may offer a seven-year period of marketing exclusivity, except in certain circumstances. Pediatric exclusivity is another type of regulatory market exclusivity in the United States. Pediatric exclusivity, if granted, adds six months to existing exclusivity periods and patent terms. This six-month exclusivity, which runs from the end of other exclusivity protection or patent term, may be granted based on the voluntary completion of a pediatric trial in accordance with an FDA-issued “Written Request” for such a trial. Rest of the World Regulation of Pharmaceutical Product Development and Approval For other countries outside of China and the United States, such as countries in Europe, Latin America or other parts of Asia, the requirements governing the conduct of clinical trials, drug licensing, pricing and reimbursement vary from country to country. In all cases the clinical trials must be conducted in accordance with GCP requirements and the applicable regulatory requirements and ethical principles. If we fail to comply with applicable foreign regulatory requirements, we may be subject to, among other things, fines, suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approvals, product recalls, seizure of products, operating restrictions and criminal prosecution. PRC Coverage and Reimbursement Coverage and Reimbursement Historically, most of Chinese healthcare costs have been borne by patients out-of-pocket, which has limited the growth of more expensive pharmaceutical products. However, in recent years the number of people covered by government and private insurance has increased. According to the PRC National Healthcare Security Administration, as of December 31, 2020, approximately 1.4 billion employees and residents in China were enrolled in the national medical insurance program, with participation rates remaining steadily above 95%. The PRC government has announced a plan to give every person in China access to basic healthcare by year 2020. In 2020, total income of the National Basic Medical Insurance Fund (including maternity insurance) reached RMB2,484.6 billion, an increase of 1.7% over the previous year and accounting for about 2.4% of GDP. Reimbursement under the National Medical Insurance Program The National Medical Insurance Program was adopted pursuant to the Decision of the State Council on the Establishment of the Urban Employee Basic Medical Insurance Program issued by the State Council on December 14, 1998, under which all employers in urban cities are required to enroll their employees in the basic medical insurance program and the insurance premium is jointly contributed by the employers and employees. The State Council promulgated Guiding Opinions of the State Council about the Pilot Urban Resident Basic Medical Insurance on July 10, 2007, under which urban residents of the pilot district, rather than urban employees, may voluntarily join Urban Resident Basic Medical Insurance. The State Council expected the Pilot Urban Resident Basic Medical Insurance to cover the whole nation by 2010. Participants of the National Medical Insurance Program and their employers, if any, are required to contribute to the payment of insurance premiums on a monthly basis. Program participants are eligible for full or partial reimbursement of the cost of medicines included in the NRDL. The Notice Regarding the Tentative Measures for the Administration of the Scope of Medical Insurance Coverage for Pharmaceutical Products for Urban Employees, jointly issued by several authorities including the Ministry of Labor and Social Security and the MOF, among others, on May 12, 1999, provides that a pharmaceutical product listed in the NRDL must be clinically needed, safe, effective, reasonably priced, easy to use, available in sufficient quantity, and must meet the following requirements:   it is set forth in the Pharmacopoeia of the PRC; it meets the standards promulgated by the NMPA; and 151  if imported, it is approved by the NMPA for import. Factors that affect the inclusion of a pharmaceutical product in the NRDL include whether the product is consumed in large volumes and commonly prescribed for clinical use in the PRC and whether it is considered to be important in meeting the basic healthcare needs of the general public. The PRC Ministry of Labor and Social Security, together with other government authorities, has the power to determine inclusion of medicines in the NRDL (also referred to as the “Drug Catalog”), which is divided into two parts, Category A and Category B. Per the Notice on the “National Basic Medical Insurance, Work Injury Insurance and Maternity Insurance Drug Catalog (2021)” issued by the National Healthcare Security Administration and the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, local authorities are required to strictly implement the Drug Catalog (2021) and must not adjust the defined payment conditions and the classification of drugs in the Drug Catalog. Patients purchasing medicines included in Category A of the NRDL are entitled to reimbursement of the entire amount of the purchase price. Patients purchasing medicines included in Category B of the NRDL are required to pay a certain percentage of the purchase price and obtain reimbursement for the remainder of the purchase price. The percentage of reimbursement for Category B medicines differs from region to region in the PRC. The total amount of reimbursement for the cost of medicines, in addition to other medical expenses, for an individual participant under the National Medical Insurance Program in a calendar year is capped at the amounts in such participant’s individual account under such program. The amount in a participant’s account varies, depending on the amount of contributions from the participant and his or her employer. National Essential Medicines List On August 18, 2009, MOH and eight other ministries and commissions in the PRC issued the Provisional Measures on the Administration of the National Essential Medicines List, which was later amended in 2015, and the Guidelines on the Implementation of the Establishment of the National Essential Medicines System, which aim to promote essential medicines sold to consumers at fair prices in the PRC and ensure that the general public in the PRC has equal access to the drugs contained in the National Essential Medicines List. MOH promulgated the National Essential Medicines List (Catalog for the Basic Healthcare Institutions) on August 18, 2009, and promulgated the revised National Essential Medicines List on March 13, 2013 and September 30, 2018. According to these regulations, basic healthcare institutions funded by government, which primarily include county-level hospitals, county-level Chinese medicine hospitals, rural clinics and community clinics, shall store up and use drugs listed in the National Essential Medicines List. Per the Opinions of the General Office of the State Council on Improving the National Essential Medicines System, issued and effective on September 13, 2018, with respect to the qualifying drugs on the National Essential Medicines List, the medical insurance department shall prioritize their inclusion in the NDRL and adjust their classifications as Category A or B, respectively, in accordance with the stipulated procedures. Price Controls According to the PRC Drug Administration Law and the Implementing Measures of the PRC Drug Administration Law, pharmaceutical products are subject to a directive pricing system or to be adjusted by the market. Per the Notice of the National Healthcare Security Administration on issuing the “Opinions on Doing a Good Job in the Current Drug Price Management”, or the Notice on Current Drug Price Management, effective on November 26, 2019, government guidance prices are to be implemented for narcotic drugs and Class I psychotropic drugs, while prices of other drugs are to be determined by the market. Government guidance prices refer to prices as fixed by business operators according to benchmark prices and ranges of the prices as set by the government department in charge of pricing or other related departments. According to the Pricing Catalogue Initiated by the Central Government (2020 Edition), which was promulgated by the NDRC and effective on May 1, 2020, the National Healthcare Security Administration shall be responsible for setting prices of narcotic drugs and Class I psychotropic drugs. 152 Further, pursuant to the Notice Regarding Further Improvement of the Order of Market Price of Pharmaceutical Products and Medical Services, or the Market Price Notice, jointly promulgated by the NDRC, the State Council Legislative Affairs Office and the State Council Office for Rectifying, the MOH, the NMPA, the MOFCOM, the MOF and Ministry of Labor and Social Security on May 19, 2006, the PRC government exercises price control over pharmaceutical products included in the NRDL and made an overall adjustment of their prices by reducing the retail price of certain overpriced pharmaceutical products and increasing the retail price of certain underpriced pharmaceutical products in demand for clinical use but that have not been produced in large quantities by manufacturers due to their low retail price level. In particular, the retail price charged by hospitals at the county level or above may not exceed 115% of the procurement cost of the relevant pharmaceutical products or 125% for Chinese herbal pieces. The Market Price Notice has been abolished per the NDRC Decision to Abolish Standardized Pricing Directories, effective May 20, 2021. On February 9, 2015, the General Office of the State Council issued the Guiding Opinion on Enhancing Consolidated Procurement of Pharmaceutical Products by Public Hospitals, or the Opinion. The Opinion encourages public hospitals to consolidate their demands and to play a more active role in the procurement of pharmaceutical products. Hospitals are encouraged to directly settle the prices of pharmaceutical products with manufacturers. Consolidated procurement of pharmaceutical products should facilitate hospital reform, reduce patient costs, prevent corrupt conducts, promote fair competition and induce the healthy growth of the pharmaceutical industry. According to the Opinion, provincial tendering processes will continue to be used for the pricing of essential drugs and generic drugs with significant demands, and transparent multi-party price negotiation will be used for some patented drugs and exclusive drugs. On April 26, 2014, the NDRC issued the Notice on Issues concerning Improving the Price Control of Low Price Drugs, or the Low Price Drugs Notice, together with the Low Price Drug List, or LPDL. According to the Low Price Drugs Notice, for drugs with relatively low average daily costs within the current government-guided pricing scope (low price drugs), the maximum retail prices set by the government were cancelled. Within the standards of average daily costs, the specific purchase and sale prices are fixed by the producers and operators based on the drug production costs, market supply and demand and market competition. The standards of average daily costs of low price drugs were determined by the NDRC in consideration of the drug production costs, market supply and demand and other factors and based on the current maximum retail prices set by the government (or the national average bid-winning retail prices where the government does not set the maximum retail prices) and the average daily dose calculated according to the package insert. Under the Low Price Drugs Notice, the standards for the daily cost of low price chemical pharmaceuticals and of low price traditional Chinese medicine pharmaceuticals were less than RMB3.0 ($0.46) per day and RMB5.0 ($0.76) per day respectively. The Low Price Drugs Notice has been abolished per the NDRC Decision to Abolish Standardized Pricing Directories, effective May 20, 2021. On May 4, 2015, the NDRC, the National Health and Family Planning Commission, the NMPA, MOFCOM and three other departments issued Opinions on Promoting Drug Pricing Reform. Under these opinions, beginning on June 1, 2015, the restrictions on the prices of the drugs that were subject to government pricing were cancelled except for narcotic drugs and Class I psychotropic drugs which remained subject to maximum factory prices and maximum retail prices set by the NDRC, and following the November 2019 Notice on Current Drug Price Management, narcotic drugs and Class I psychotropic drugs prices have transitioned towards government guidance prices. The medical insurance regulatory authority now has the power to prescribe the standards, procedures, basis and methods of the payment for drugs paid by medical insurance funds. The prices of patented drugs are set through transparent and public negotiation among multiple parties. The prices for blood products not listed in the NRDL, immunity and prevention drugs that are purchased by the Chinese government in a centralized manner, and AIDS antiviral drugs and contraceptives provided by the Chinese government for free, are set through a tendering process. Except as otherwise mentioned above, the prices for other drugs may be determined by the manufacturers and the operators on their own on the basis of production or operation costs and market supply and demand. Centralized Procurement and Tenders The Guiding Opinions concerning the Urban Medical and Health System Reform, promulgated on February 21, 2000, aim to provide medical services with reasonable price and quality to the public through the establishment of an urban medical and health system. One of the measures used to realize this aim is the regulation of the purchasing process of pharmaceutical products by medical institutions. Accordingly, the MOH and other relevant government authorities have promulgated a series of regulations and releases in order to implement the tender requirements. According to the Notice on Issuing Certain Regulations on the Trial Implementation of Centralized Tender Procurement of Drugs by Medical Institutions promulgated on July 7, 2000 and the Notice on Further Improvement on the Implementation of Centralized Tender Procurement of Drugs by Medical Institutions promulgated on August 8, 2001, medical institutions established by county or higher level government are required to implement centralized tender procurement of drugs. 153 The MOH promulgated the Working Regulations of Medical Institutions for Procurement of Drugs by Centralized Tender and Price Negotiations (for Trial Implementation), or the Centralized Procurement Regulations, on March 13, 2002, and promulgated Sample Document for Medical Institutions for Procurement of Drugs by Centralized Tender and Price Negotiations (for Trial Implementation), or the Centralized Tender Sample Document in November 2001, as amended in 2010, to implement the tender process requirements and ensure the requirements are followed uniformly throughout the country. The Centralized Tender Regulations and the Centralized Tender Sample Document provide rules for the tender process and negotiations of the prices of drugs, operational procedures, a code of conduct and standards or measures of evaluating bids and negotiating prices. On January 17, 2009, the MOH, the NMPA and other four national departments jointly promulgated the Opinions on Further Regulating Centralized Procurement of Drugs by Medical Institutions. According to the notice, public medical institutions owned by the government at the county level or higher or owned by state-owned enterprises (including state-controlled enterprises) shall purchase pharmaceutical products through centralized procurement. Each provincial government shall formulate its catalogue of drugs subject to centralized procurement. Specifically, the procurement could be achieved through public tendering, online bidding, centralized price negotiations and online competition platform. Except for drugs in the National Essential Medicines List (the procurement of which shall comply with the relevant rules on the National Essential Medicines List), certain pharmaceutical products which are under the national government’s special control and traditional Chinese medicines, in principle, all drugs used by public medical institutions shall be covered by the catalogue of drugs subject to centralized procurement. On July 7, 2010, the MOH and six other ministries and commissions jointly promulgated the Working Regulations of Medical Institutions for Centralized Procurement of Drugs to further regulate the centralized procurement of drugs and clarify the code of conduct of the parties in centralized drug procurement. The centralized tender process takes the form of public tender operated and organized by provincial or municipal government agencies in principle is conducted once every year in all provinces and cities in China. Drug manufacturing enterprises, in principle, shall bid directly for the centralized tender process. Certain related parties, however, may be engaged to act as bidding agencies. Such intermediaries are not permitted to engage in the distribution of drugs and must have no conflict of interest with the organizing government agencies. The bids are assessed by a committee composed of pharmaceutical experts who will be randomly selected from a database of experts approved by the relevant government authorities. The committee members assess the bids based on a number of factors, including but not limited to, bid price, product quality, clinical effectiveness, qualifications and reputation of the manufacturer, and after-sale services. Only pharmaceuticals that have won in the centralized tender process may be purchased by public medical institutions funded by government in the relevant region. 4+7 Quality Consistency Evaluation On November 15, 2018, China’s Joint Procurement Office published its Paper on Centralized Drug Procurement in “4+7 Cities,” known as the 4+7 Quality Consistency Evaluation process, or 4+7 QCE. The 4+7 QCE initiative is aimed at driving consolidation in the fragmented generic drug market in China. The 4+7 QCE initiative began as a pilot program in 11 cities: Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Chongqing, Shenyang, Dalian, Xiamen, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu and Xi’an. Under this pilot program, the public medical institutions in these 11 cities bulk-buy certain generic drugs together, forcing companies to bid for contracts and driving down prices. The 4+7 QCE initiative has expanded nationwide and now covers more varieties of drugs. On September 1, 2019, the Joint Procurement Office published its Paper on Centralized Drug Procurement in Alliance Areas (GY-YD2019-1), such areas covering 25 provinces and regions across China. On December 29, 2019, the Joint Procurement Office published its Paper on Nationwide Centralized Drug Procurement (GY-YD2019-2), promoting procurement nationwide, and on January 13, 2020, the National Healthcare Security Administration, the NHC, the NMPA, the Ministry of Industrial and Information Technology and the Logistics Support Department of the Central Military Commission promulgated the Notice on the Commencement of the Second Batch of State Organized Centralized Drug Procurement and Use, which states that the second batch of national organization of centralized procurement and use of drugs would not be carried out in selected areas but nationwide. 154 U.S. Coverage and Reimbursement Successful sales of our products or drug candidates in the U.S. market, if approved, will depend, in part, on the extent to which our drugs will be covered by third-party payors, such as government health programs, commercial insurance and managed healthcare organizations. Patients who are provided with prescriptions as part of their medical treatment generally rely on such third-party payors to reimburse all or part of the costs associated with their prescriptions and therefore adequate coverage and reimbursement from such third-party payors are critical to new product success. These third-party payors are increasingly reducing reimbursements for medical drugs and services. Additionally, the containment of healthcare costs has become a priority of federal and state governments, and the prices of drugs have been a focus in this effort. The U.S. government, state legislatures and foreign governments have shown significant interest in implementing cost-containment programs, including price controls, restrictions on reimbursement, requirements for substitution of generic drugs, and pricing transparency requirements. Adoption of price controls and cost-containment measures, and adoption of more restrictive policies in jurisdictions with existing controls and measures, could further limit our net revenue and results. Decreases in third-party reimbursement for our drug candidates, if approved, or a decision by a third-party payor to not cover our drug candidates could reduce physician usage of such drugs and have a material adverse effect on our sales, results of operations and financial condition. The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003, or the MMA, established the Medicare Part D program to provide a voluntary prescription drug benefit to Medicare beneficiaries. Under Part D, Medicare beneficiaries may enroll in prescription drug plans offered by private entities that provide coverage of outpatient prescription drugs. Unlike Medicare Part A and B, Part D coverage is not standardized. Part D prescription drug plan sponsors are not required to pay for all covered Part D drugs, and each drug plan can develop its own drug formulary that identifies which drugs it will cover and at what tier or level. However, Part D prescription drug formularies must include drugs within each therapeutic category and class of covered Part D drugs, though not necessarily all the drugs in each category or class. Any formulary used by a Part D prescription drug plan must be developed and reviewed by a pharmacy and therapeutic committee. Medicare payment for some of the costs of prescription drugs may increase demand for drugs for which we receive regulatory approval. However, any negotiated prices for our drugs covered by a Part D prescription drug plan will likely be lower than the prices we might otherwise obtain. Moreover, while the MMA applies only to drug benefits for Medicare beneficiaries, private payors often follow Medicare coverage policy and payment limitations in setting their own payment rates. Any reduction in payment that results from the MMA may result in a similar reduction in payments from non-governmental payors. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provides funding for the federal government to compare the effectiveness of different treatments for the same illness. The plan for the research was published in 2012 by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and the National Institutes for Health, and periodic reports on the status of the research and related expenditures are made to Congress. Although the results of the comparative effectiveness studies are not intended to mandate coverage policies for public or private payors, if third-party payors do not consider a drug to be cost-effective compared to other available therapies, they may not cover such drugs as a benefit under their plans or, if they do, the level of payment may not be sufficient. The Affordable Care Act, enacted in March 2010, has had a significant impact on the health care industry. The Affordable Care Act expanded coverage for the uninsured while at the same time containing overall healthcare costs. With regard to pharmaceutical products, the Affordable Care Act, among other things, addressed a new methodology by which rebates owed by manufacturers under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program are calculated for drugs that are inhaled, infused, instilled, implanted or injected, increased the minimum Medicaid rebates owed by manufacturers under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program and extended the rebate program to individuals enrolled in Medicaid managed care organizations, established annual fees and taxes on manufacturers of certain branded prescription drugs, and created a new Medicare Part D coverage gap discount program, in which, beginning in 2019, manufacturers must agree to offer 70% point-of-sale discounts off negotiated prices of applicable brand drugs to eligible beneficiaries during their coverage gap period, as a condition for the manufacturer’s outpatient drugs to be covered under Medicare Part D. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 made certain changes to Medicare Part D coverage, including changing the date when the Medicare Part D coverage gap is eliminated from 2020 to 2019, sunsetting the exclusion of biosimilars from the Medicare Part D coverage gap discount program in 2019 and reallocating responsibility for discounted pricing under the Medicare Part D coverage gap discount program from third-party payors to pharmaceutical companies. In December 2017, Congress also repealed the “individual mandate,” which was an Affordable Care Act requirement that individuals obtain healthcare insurance coverage or face a penalty. This repeal could affect the total number of patients who have coverage from third-party payors that reimburse for use of our products. In July 2021, the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed a constitutional challenge to the Affordable Care Act brought by a group of Republican attorneys general seeking to invalidate the law in its entirety because of Congress’s repeal of the individual mandate. 155 On December 14, 2018, a U.S. District Court judge in Texas ruled that the Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional in its entirety because of Congress’s repeal of the individual mandate. On December 18, 2019, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed the portion of the district court’s ruling declaring the individual mandate unconstitutional and remanded for the district court to conduct analysis in the first instance on which provisions of the statute are severable from it and thus remain intact. The U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear the case and a decision is expected by the Spring of 2021. In addition, other legislative and regulatory changes have been proposed and adopted in the United States since the Affordable Care Act was enacted that affect reimbursement for prescription drugs. On August 2, 2011, the Budget Control Act of 2011 among other things, created measures for spending reductions by Congress. A Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, tasked with recommending a targeted deficit reduction of at least $1.2 trillion for the years 2013 through 2021, was unable to reach required goals, thereby triggering the legislation’s automatic reduction to several government programs. This includes aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per fiscal year, started in April 2013. Section 4408 of the CARES Act temporarily suspended Medicare sequestration during the period of May 1, 2020 through December 31, 2021, while extending the Medicare sequestration sunset date through 2030. On January 2, 2013, President Obama signed into law the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which among other things, also reduced Medicare payments to several providers, including hospitals, imaging centers and cancer treatment centers, and increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. Regulations adopted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services or CMS grant Medicare Part B plans authority to apply new cost control measures to steer patients toward lower-priced drug products prior to covering non-preferred, more expensive products. This could potentially have the result of reducing coverage of our products under Medicare Part B. In addition, other proposed legislative and regulatory changes could affect reimbursement for prescription drugs. In January 2017, the Medicare Prescription Drug Price Negotiation Act was proposed in Congress, which would require the government to negotiate Medicare prescription drug prices with pharmaceutical companies. In October 2017, a similar bill, the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Act of 2017 was proposed in Congress. In November 2017, the CMS announced a Final Rule that would adjust the applicable payment rate as necessary for certain separately payable drugs and biologicals acquired under the 340B Program from average sales price plus 6% to average sales price minus 22.5%. Congress and the U.S. administration continue to evaluate other proposals that could affect third-party reimbursement for our drug candidates, if approved. In October 2020, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the FDA issued a final rule and guidance concerning two new pathways for importing lower-cost drugs into the United States. The final rule allows certain prescription drugs to be imported from Canada, and the guidance describes procedures for drug manufacturers to facilitate the importation of FDA-approved drugs and biologics manufactured abroad and originally intended for sale in a foreign country into the United States. In November 2020, the Department of Health and Human Services, under the outgoing Trump administration, issued a rule eliminating the safe harbor shielding Medicare Part D rebates to pharmacy benefit managers from the Anti-Kickback Statute. In response to litigation brought by a trade association on behalf of pharmacy benefit managers, the Biden administration agreed to delay the rule’s effective date until January 1, 2023. On November 15, 2021, President Biden signed into law the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which imposed a moratorium until January 1, 2026 at the earliest on the rule removing rebates from safe harbor protection under the Anti-Kickback Statute. In November 2021, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Build Back Better Act. Under this Act, the federal government would be permitted to negotiate prices for certain Medicare Part B and Part D drugs, and manufacturers would be required to pay Medicare rebates for some Part B and many Part D drugs if their prices increased faster than inflation. To date, the U.S. Senate has not passed the Act, and it is unclear whether the Act or component parts of the Act will ultimately be enacted. Such legislative and regulatory changes could have the effect of lowering the level of coverage or reimbursement for our products. Rest of the World Coverage and Reimbursement In some foreign countries, the proposed pricing for a drug must be approved before it may be lawfully marketed. The requirements governing drug pricing vary widely from country to country. For example, the E.U. provides options for its member states to restrict the range of medicinal drugs for which their national health insurance systems provide reimbursement and to control the prices of medicinal drugs for human use. A member state may approve a specific price for the medicinal drug or it may instead adopt a system of direct or indirect controls on the profitability of our company placing the medicinal drug on the market. Historically, drugs launched in the E.U. do not follow price structures of the United States and generally tend to be significantly lower. 156 Other PRC Healthcare Laws Advertising of Pharmaceutical Products Other Healthcare Laws In accordance with the Interim Administrative Measures for the Censorship of Advertisements for Drugs, Medical Devices, Health Food and Formula Food for Special Medical Purposes effective from March 1, 2020, the State Administration for Market Regulation is responsible for organizing and guiding the censorship of advertisements for drugs, medical devices, health foods and formula foods for special medical purposes. Any advertisement for drugs, medical devices, health food or formula food for special medical purposes shall indicate the advertisement approval number in a prominent position. The validity period of the advertisement approval number for drugs, medical devices, health food and formula food for special medical purposes shall be consistent with the shortest period of validity of the product registration certificate, record-filing certificate, or production license. Where no period of validity is prescribed in the product registration certificate, record-filing certificate or production license, the period of validity of the advertisement approval number shall be two years. Packaging of Pharmaceutical Products According to the Measures for The Administration of Pharmaceutical Packaging, effective on September 1, 1988, pharmaceutical packaging must comply with the provisions of the national standard and professional standard. If there are no standards, the enterprise can formulate its own standard after obtaining the approval of the provincial level drug administration or bureau of standards. The enterprise shall reapply to the relevant authorities if it needs to change the packaging standard. Drugs without packing must not be sold in PRC (except for drugs needed by the army). Labor Protection Under the Labor Law of the PRC, effective on January 1, 1995 and subsequently amended on August 27, 2009 and December 29, 2018, the Labor Contract Law of the PRC, effective on January 1, 2008 and subsequently amended on December 28, 2012, and the Implementing Regulations of the Labor Contract Law of the PRC, effective on September 18, 2008, employers must establish a comprehensive management system to protect the rights of their employees, including a system governing occupational health and safety to provide employees with occupational training to prevent occupational injury, and employers are required to truthfully inform prospective employees of the job description, working conditions, location, occupational hazards and status of safe production as well as remuneration and other conditions as requested by the Labor Contract Law of the PRC. Pursuant to the Law of Manufacturing Safety of the People’s Republic of China effective on November 1, 2002 and subsequently amended on December 1, 2014 and September 1, 2021, manufacturers must establish a comprehensive management system to ensure manufacturing safety in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Manufacturers not meeting relevant legal requirements are not permitted to commence their manufacturing activities. Pursuant to the Administrative Measures for Production effective on March 1, 2011, manufacturers of pharmaceutical products are required to establish production safety and labor protection measures in connection with the operation of their manufacturing equipment and manufacturing process. 157 Pursuant to applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations, including the Social Insurance Law which became effective on July 1, 2011 and subsequently amended on December 29, 2018, the Interim Regulations on the Collection and Payment of Social Security Funds which became effective on January 22, 1999 and subsequently amended on March 24, 2019, the Interim Measures concerning the Maternity Insurance which became effective on January 1, 1995 and the Regulations on Work-related Injury Insurance which became effective on January 1, 2004 and were subsequently amended on December 20, 2010, employers are required to contribute, on behalf of their employees, to a number of social security funds, including funds for basic pension insurance, unemployment insurance, basic medical insurance, work-related injury insurance, and maternity insurance. If an employer fails to make social insurance contributions timely and in full, the social insurance collecting authority will order the employer to make up outstanding contributions within the prescribed time period and impose a late payment fee at the rate of 0.05% per day from the date on which the contribution becomes due. If such employer fails to make social insurance registration, the social insurance collecting authority will order the employer to correct within the prescribed time period. The relevant administrative department may impose a fine equivalent to three times the overdue amount and management personnel who are directly responsible can be fined RMB500 ($76.43) to RMB3,000 ($458.02) if the employer fails to correct within the prescribed time period. Commercial Bribery Medical production and operation enterprises involved in criminal, investigation or administrative procedure for commercial bribery will be listed in the Adverse Records of Commercial Briberies by provincial health and family planning administrative department. Pursuant to the Provisions on the Establishment of Adverse Records of Commercial Briberies in the Medicine Purchase and Sales Industry enforced on March 1, 2014 by the National Health and Family Planning Commission, if medical production and operation enterprises are listed into the Adverse Records of Commercial Briberies for the first time, their production shall not be purchased by public medical institutions, and medical and health institutions receiving financial subsidies in local provincial regions for a period of two years following the publication of the Adverse Records, and public medical institutions, and medical and health institutions receiving financial subsidies in other provinces shall lower their rating in bidding or purchasing process. If medical production and operation enterprises are listed into the Adverse Records of Commercial Briberies twice or more times in five years, their production may not be purchased by public medical institutions, and medical and health institutions receiving financial subsidies nationwide in two years from public of the record. As advised by our PRC legal advisor, from a PRC law perspective, a pharmaceutical company will not be penalized by the relevant PRC government authorities merely by virtue of having contractual relationships with distributors or third-party promoters who are engaged in bribery activities, so long as such pharmaceutical company and its employees are not utilizing the distributors or third-party promoters for the implementation of, or acting in conjunction with them in, the prohibited bribery activities. In addition, a pharmaceutical company is under no legal obligation to monitor the operating activities of its distributors and third-party promoters, and will not be subject to penalties or sanctions by relevant PRC government authorities as a result of failure to monitor their operating activities. Product Liability In addition to the strict new drug approval process, certain PRC laws have been promulgated to protect the rights of consumers and to strengthen the control of medical products in the PRC. Under current PRC law, manufacturers and vendors of defective products in the PRC may incur liability for loss and injury caused by such products. Pursuant to the Civil Code of the PRC, or the PRC Civil Code, promulgated on May 28, 2020 and effective on January 1, 2021, a defective product which causes property damage or physical injury to any person may subject the manufacturer or vendor of such product to civil liability for such damage or injury. On February 22, 1993, the Product Quality Law of the PRC, or the Product Quality Law, was promulgated aiming to define responsibilities for product quality, to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the end-users and consumers and to strengthen the supervision and control of the quality of products. The Product Quality Law was amended by the Ninth National People’s Congress on July 8, 2000 and was later amended by the Eleventh National People’s Congress on August 27, 2009 and the Thirteenth National People’s Congress on December 29, 2018. Pursuant to the amended Product Quality Law, manufacturers who produce defective products may be subject to civil or criminal liability and have their business licenses revoked. 158 The Law of the PRC on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Consumers was promulgated on October 13, 1993 and was amended on October 25, 2013 to protect consumers’ rights when they purchase or use goods and accept services. All business operators must comply with this law when they manufacture or sell goods and/or provide services to customers. Under the amendment on October 25, 2013, all business operators shall pay high attention to protect the customers’ privacy which they obtain during the business operation. In addition, in extreme situations, pharmaceutical product manufacturers and operators may be subject to criminal liabilities under applicable laws of the PRC if their goods or services lead to the death or injuries of customers or other third parties. Pursuant to the PRC Civil Code, if damages to other persons are caused by defective products that are resulted from the fault of a third party such as the parties providing transportation or warehousing, the producers and the sellers of the products have the right to recover their respective losses from such third parties. If defective products are identified after they have been put into circulation, the producers or the sellers shall take remedial measures such as issuance of warning, and recall of products, etc. in a timely manner. The producers or the sellers shall be liable under tort if they cause damages due to their failure to take remedial measures in a timely manner or have not made efforts to take remedial measures, thus causing damages. If the products are produced and sold with known defects, causing deaths or severe damage to the health of others, the infringed party shall have the right to claim respective punitive damages in addition to compensatory damages. Other PRC National and Provincial-Level Laws and Regulations We are subject to changing regulations under many other laws and regulations administered by governmental authorities at the national, provincial and municipal levels, some of which are or may become applicable to our business. Our hospital customers are also subject to a wide variety of laws and regulations that could affect the nature and scope of their relationships with us. For example, regulations control the confidentiality of patients’ medical information and the circumstances under which patient medical information may be released for inclusion in our databases, or released by us to third parties. These laws and regulations governing both the disclosure and the use of confidential patient medical information may become more restrictive in the future. We also comply with numerous additional state and local laws relating to matters such as safe working conditions, manufacturing practices, environmental protection and fire hazard control. We believe that we are currently in compliance with these laws and regulations; however, we may be required to incur significant costs to comply with these laws and regulations in the future. Unanticipated changes in existing regulatory requirements or adoption of new requirements could therefore have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Other U.S. Healthcare Laws We may also be subject to healthcare regulation and enforcement by the U.S. federal government and the states where we may market our drug candidates, if approved. These laws include, without limitation, state and federal anti-kickback, fraud and abuse, false claims, privacy and security and physician sunshine laws and regulations. Anti-Kickback Statute The federal Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits, among other things, any person from knowingly and willfully offering, soliciting, receiving or providing remuneration, directly or indirectly, to induce either the referral of an individual, for an item or service, or the purchase or order of a good or service, for which payment may be made under federal healthcare programs such as the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The majority of states also have anti-kickback laws, which establish similar prohibitions and in some cases may apply to items or services reimbursed by any third-party payor, including commercial insurers. The Anti-Kickback Statute is subject to evolving interpretations. In the past, the government has enforced the Anti-Kickback Statute to reach large settlements with healthcare, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology companies based on a range of financial arrangements with physicians and other healthcare industry entities. A person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the Anti-Kickback Statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation. Violations of the Anti-Kickback Statute can result in criminal, civil, or administrative liability. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for the purposes of the federal False Claims Act. 159 False Claims Additionally, the civil False Claims Act prohibits knowingly presenting or causing the presentation of a false, fictitious or fraudulent claim for payment to the U.S. government. Actions under the False Claims Act may be brought by the U.S. Attorney General or as a qui tam action by a private individual in the name of the government. Analogous state law equivalents may apply and may be broader in scope than the federal requirements. Violations of the False Claims Act can result in very significant monetary penalties and treble damages. The federal government is using the False Claims Act, and the accompanying threat of significant liability, in its investigation and prosecution of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies throughout the United States, for example, in connection with the violations of the Anti-Kickback Statute, the promotion of products for unapproved uses and other sales and marketing practices. The government has obtained multi-million and multi-billion dollar settlements under the False Claims Act in addition to individual criminal convictions and corporate resolutions under applicable criminal statutes. Given the significant size of actual and potential settlements, it is expected that the government will continue to devote substantial resources to investigating healthcare providers’ and manufacturers’ compliance with applicable fraud and abuse laws. The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, also created new federal criminal statutes that prohibit, among other actions, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private third-party payors, knowingly and willfully embezzling or stealing from a healthcare benefit program, willfully obstructing a criminal investigation of a healthcare offense, and knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services. Similar to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation. Payments to Physicians There has also been a recent trend of increased federal and state regulation of payments made to physicians and other healthcare providers. The Affordable Care Act, among other things, imposes new reporting requirements on drug manufacturers for payments made by them to physicians and teaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members. Failure to submit required information may result in civil monetary penalties of up to an aggregate of $150,000 per year (or up to an aggregate of $1 million per year for “knowing failures”), for all payments, transfers of value or ownership or investment interests that are not timely, accurately and completely reported in an annual submission. Drug manufacturers were required to begin collecting data on August 1, 2013 and submit reports to the government by March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, and the 90th day of each subsequent calendar year. Certain states also mandate implementation of compliance programs, impose restrictions on drug manufacturer marketing practices and/or require the tracking and reporting of gifts, compensation and other remuneration to physicians. The federal government has begun to impose penalties on companies that fail to appropriately report required information. 160 Data Privacy and Security We may also be subject to data privacy and security regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business. HIPAA, as amended by the Health Information Technology and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, and their respective implementing regulations, including the final omnibus rule published on January 25, 2013, imposes specified requirements relating to the privacy, security and transmission of individually identifiable health information. Among other things, HITECH makes HIPAA’s privacy and security standards directly applicable to “business associates,” defined as independent contractors or agents of covered entities that create, receive, maintain or transmit protected health information in connection with providing a service for or on behalf of a covered entity. HITECH also increased the civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed against covered entities, business associates and possibly other persons, and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federal courts to enforce the federal HIPAA laws and seek attorney’s fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions. In addition, state laws govern the privacy and security of personal health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other in significant ways, thus complicating compliance efforts. PRC Regulation of Foreign Currency Exchange, Offshore Investment and State-Owned Assets PRC Foreign Currency Exchange Foreign currency exchange regulation in China is primarily governed by the following rules:  Foreign Currency Administration Rules (1996), as last amended on August 5, 2008, or the Exchange Rules; and  Administration Rules of the Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange (1996), or the Administration Rules. Under the Exchange Rules, the renminbi is convertible for current account items, including the distribution of dividends, interest payments, trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions. Conversion of renminbi for capital account items, such as direct investment, loan, security investment and repatriation of investment, however, is still subject to the SAFE’s scrutiny. Under the Administration Rules, foreign-invested enterprises may only buy, sell and/or remit foreign currencies at those banks authorized to conduct foreign exchange business after providing valid commercial documents and, in the case of capital account item transactions, obtaining approval from the SAFE. Capital investments by foreign-invested enterprises outside of China are also subject to limitations, which include approvals by the MOFCOM, the SAFE and the NDRC. Pursuant to the Circular on Further Improving and Adjusting the Direct Investment Foreign Exchange Administration Policies, or Circular 59, promulgated by the SAFE on November 19, 2012 and became effective on December 17, 2012, approval is not required for the opening of and payment into foreign exchange accounts under direct investment, for domestic reinvestment with legal income of foreign investors in China. Circular 59 also simplified the capital verification and confirmation formalities for Chinese foreign- invested enterprises and the foreign capital and foreign exchange registration formalities required for the foreign investors to acquire the equities of Chinese party and other items. Circular 59 further improved the administration on exchange settlement of foreign exchange capital of Chinese foreign-invested enterprises. 161 Foreign Exchange Registration of Offshore Investment by PRC Residents In July 2014, the SAFE issued the Notice on Relevant Issues Concerning Foreign Exchange Administration for PRC Residents to Engage in Offshore Investment and Financing and Round Trip Investment via Special Purpose Vehicles, or Circular 37, and its implementation guidelines, which abolishes and supersedes the SAFE’s Circular on Relevant Issues Concerning Foreign Exchange Administration for PRC Residents to Engage in Financing and Round Trip Investment via Overseas Special Purpose Vehicles, or Circular 75. Pursuant to Circular 37 and its implementation guidelines, PRC residents (including PRC institutions and individuals) must register with local branches of the SAFE in connection with their direct or indirect offshore investment in an overseas special purpose vehicle, or SPV, directly established or indirectly controlled by PRC residents for the purposes of offshore investment and financing with their legally owned assets or interests in domestic enterprises, or their legally owned offshore assets or interests. Such PRC residents are also required to amend their registrations with the SAFE when there is a significant change to the SPV, such as changes of the PRC individual resident’s increase or decrease of its capital contribution in the SPV, or any share transfer or exchange, merger, division of the SPV. Failure to comply with the registration procedures set forth in Circular 37 may result in restrictions being imposed on the foreign exchange activities of the relevant onshore company, including the payment of dividends and other distributions to its offshore parent or affiliate, the capital inflow from the offshore entities and settlement of foreign exchange capital, and may also subject relevant onshore company or PRC residents to penalties under PRC foreign exchange administration regulations. In February 2012, the SAFE promulgated the Notices on Issues Concerning the Foreign Exchange Administration for Domestic Individuals Participating in Stock Incentive Plans of Overseas Publicly Listed Companies. Based on this regulation, directors, supervisors, senior management and other employees of domestic subsidiaries or branches of a company listed on an overseas stock market who are PRC citizens or who are non-PRC citizens residing in China for a continuous period of not less than one year, subject to a few exceptions, are required to register with the SAFE or its local counterparts by following certain procedures if they participate in any stock incentive plan of the company listed on an overseas stock market. Foreign exchange income received from the sale of shares or dividends distributed by the overseas listed company may be remitted into a foreign currency account of such PRC citizen or be exchanged into renminbi. Our PRC citizen employees who have been granted share options have been subject to these rules due to our admission to trading on the AIM market and the listing of our ADSs on Nasdaq. Regulation on Investment in Foreign-invested Enterprises Pursuant to PRC law, the registered capital of a limited liability company is the total capital contributions subscribed for by all the shareholders as registered with the company registration authority. A foreign-invested enterprise also has a total investment limit that is approved by or filed with the MOFCOM or its local counterpart by reference to both its registered capital and expected investment scale. The difference between the total investment limit and the registered capital of a foreign-invested enterprise or the cross-border financing risk weighted balance calculated based on a formula by the PBOC represents the foreign debt financing quota to which it is entitled (i.e., the maximum amount of debt which the company may borrow from a foreign lender). A foreign-invested enterprise is required to obtain approval from or file with the MOFCOM or its local counterpart for any increases to its total investment limit. In accordance with these regulations, we and our joint venture partners have contributed financing to our PRC subsidiaries and joint ventures in the form of capital contributions up to the registered capital amount and/or in the form of shareholder loans up to the foreign debt quota. According to the financing needs of our PRC subsidiaries and joint ventures, we and our joint venture partners have requested and received approvals from the government authorities for increases to the total investment limit for certain of our PRC subsidiaries and joint ventures from time to time. As a result, these regulations have not had a material impact to date on our ability to finance such entities. Regulation on Dividend Distribution The principal regulations governing distribution of dividends paid by wholly foreign-owned enterprises include:  Company Law of the PRC (1993), as amended in 1999, 2004, 2005, 2013 and 2018;  Foreign Investment Law of the PRC; and  Implementation Rules for the Foreign Investment Law. 162  Under these laws and regulations, foreign-invested enterprises in China may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, a wholly foreign-owned enterprise in China is required to set aside at least 10.0% of its after-tax profit based on PRC accounting standards each year to its general reserves until the accumulative amount of such reserves reach 50.0% of its registered capital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. The board of directors of a foreign-invested enterprise has the discretion to allocate a portion of its after-tax profits to staff welfare and bonus funds, which may not be distributed to equity owners except in the event of liquidation. Filings and Approvals Relating to State-Owned Assets Pursuant to applicable PRC state-owned assets administration laws and regulations, incorporating a joint venture that will have investments of assets that are both state-owned and non-state-owned, investing in an entity that was previously owned by a state-owned enterprise and restructuring an enterprise ultimately owned by the general public require the performance of an assessment of the relevant state-owned assets and the filing of the assessment results with the competent state-owned assets administration, finance authorities or other regulatory authorities and, if applicable, the receipt of approvals from such authorities. Our joint venture partners were required to perform a state-owned asset assessment when Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals and Hutchison Baiyunshan were incorporated and our joint venture partners contributed state-owned assets, and when we invested in Hutchison Sinopharm, which was previously wholly-owned by Sinopharm, a state-owned enterprise. In addition, Hutchison Sinopharm was required to perform a state-owned asset assessment when Hutchison Sinopharm restructured from an enterprise ultimately owned by the general public into a limited liability enterprise. In all four instances, our joint venture partners have informed us that they or Hutchison Sinopharm have duly filed the relevant state-owned asset assessment results with, and obtained the requisite approvals from, the relevant governmental authorities as required by the foregoing laws and regulations. Accordingly, we believe that such joint ventures are in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations governing the administration and restructuring of state-owned assets, although we are currently unable to obtain copies of certain filing and approval documents from our joint venture partners due to their internal confidentiality constraints. We have not received any notice of warning or been subject to any penalty or other disciplinary action from the relevant governmental authorities with respect to the applicable laws and regulations governing the administration and restructuring of state-owned assets. 163 C.

Property, Plants and Equipment We are headquartered in Hong Kong where we have our main administrative offices. 164 We rent and operate a 4,968 square meter manufacturing facility that complies with applicable GMP standards for fruquintinib and surufatinib in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province in Eastern China, and own a 5,024 square meter facility in Shanghai which houses research and development operations. We lease 9,080 square meters of office and lab space in Shanghai which houses HUTCHMED Limited’s management and staff. In 2020, we entered into a 50-year land use rights agreement for a 28,771 square meter site in Shanghai. We have commenced construction of an almost 55,000 square meter large-scale manufacturing facility for innovative drugs on the site. We plan to install small molecule equipment in late 2022, with GMP compliance targeted for late 2023. The Shanghai factory will be our largest manufacturing facility, with a production capacity estimated to be five times that of our facility in Suzhou. The first phase will be primarily for small molecule production, with an expected production capacity of 250 million tablets and capsules per years. We also lease a 26,989 square foot facility in Florham Park, New Jersey where we house our U.S.-based clinical, regulatory and commercial management and staff. Our non-consolidated joint venture, Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals, operates a 78,000 square meter large-scale research and development and manufacturing facility in Shanghai for which it has obtained land use rights and property ownership certificates. Our and our joint ventures’ manufacturing operations consist of bulk manufacturing and formulation, fill, and finishing activities that produce products and drug candidates for both clinical and commercial purposes. Our manufacturing capabilities have a large operation scale for our own-brand products. We and our joint ventures manufacture and sell about 2.5 billion doses of medicines a year, in the aggregate, through our well-established manufacturing base. See “—Other Ventures—Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals” for more details on our manufacturing operations. ITEM 4A. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS None. ITEM 5.

In evaluating our business, you should carefully consider the information provided under Item 3.D. “Risk Factors.” Actual results could differ materi- ally from those projected in the forward-looking statements. A. Operating Results. Overview We are a global commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of targeted therapies and immunotherapies for the treatment of patients with cancer and immunological diseases. We conduct our business through our Oncology/Immunology and Other Ventures operations. 165 Through our Oncology/Immunology operations, our team of over 820 scientists and staff has created, developed and in-licensed a deep portfolio of thirteen drug candidates. We have advanced thirteen oncology drug candidates to clinical trials in China, with seven also in clinical development in the United States and Europe. In China, we have brought three of our internally developed drugs, Elunate (fruquintinib), Sulanda (surufatinib) and Orpathys (savolitinib), to patients. All three drugs are also in late-stage development outside of China, with the most advanced being surufatinib for which the FDA has accepted our NDA in the United States. We have additional drug candidates in earlier stage clinical development (Phase I/Ib and Phase Ib/II proof-of-concept studies) and several advanced pre- clinical drug candidates. These drug candidates are being developed to treat a wide spectrum of diseases, including solid tumors, hematological malignancies and immunological diseases which we believe may address unmet medical needs and represent large commercial opportunities. Our success in research and development has led to partnerships with leading global pharmaceutical companies, including AstraZeneca and Eli Lilly. We and our collaboration partners have invested over $1,260 million in our Oncology/Immunology operations as of December 31, 2021, with almost all of these funds used for research and development expenses for the development of our drug candidates. Net loss attributable to our company from our Oncology/Immunology operations was $127.4 million, $175.5 million and $291.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. In addition, we have built large-scale and profitable drug marketing and distribution capabilities through subsidiaries and joint ventures in our Other Ventures, which primarily manufacture, market and distribute prescription drugs and consumer health products in China. Net income attributable to our company generated from our Other Ventures operations was $41.5 million, $72.8 million and $142.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. In addition to helping to fund our Oncology/Immunology operations, we utilize the know-how from our Other Ventures to support the launch of our internally developed Oncology/Immunology products in China. Our Other Ventures also include our businesses focused on a range of health-focused consumer products. Our consolidated revenue was $204.9 million, $228.0 million and $356.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. Net loss attributable to our company was $106.0 million, $125.7 million and $194.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. Basis of Presentation Our consolidated statements of operations data presented herein for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 and our consolidated balance sheet data presented herein as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 have been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and should be read in conjunction with those statements which are included elsewhere in this annual report. We have two strategic operations, Oncology/Immunology and Other Ventures, that offer different products and services. Our Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals and Hutchison Baiyunshan (until September 28, 2021 when the disposal of our shareholding interest in Hutchison Baiyunshan was completed) joint ventures under our Other Ventures operations are accounted for under the equity accounting method as non-consolidated entities in our consolidated financial statements, and their consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB and audited under auditing standards generally accepted in the United States and included elsewhere in this annual report. The presentation of financial data for our business units excludes certain unallocated costs attributed to expenses incurred by our corporate head office. For more information on our corporate structure, see Item 4.A. “History and Development of the Company.” Research and Development Expenses Factors Affecting our Results of Operations We believe our ability to successfully develop innovative drug candidates through our Oncology/Immunology operations will be the primary factor affecting our long-term competitiveness, as well as our future growth and development. Creating high quality global first-in-class or best-in-class drug candidates requires significant investment of resources over a prolonged period of time, and a core part of our strategy is to continue making sustained investments in this area. As a result of this commitment, our pipeline of drug candidates has been steadily advancing and expanding, with thirteen in China and global clinical development. For more information on the nature of the efforts and steps necessary to develop our drug candidates, see Item 4.B. “Business Overview—Our Clinical Pipeline” and “Business Overview—Regulation.” 166 The drug candidates of our Oncology/Immunology operations are still in development, and we have incurred and will continue to incur significant research and development costs for pre-clinical studies and clinical trials. We expect that our research and development expenses will significantly increase in future periods in line with the advancement and expansion of the development of our drug candidates. Research and development expenses include:      employee compensation related expenses, including salaries, benefits and equity compensation expense; expenses incurred for payments to CROs, investigators and clinical trial sites that conduct our clinical studies; the cost of acquiring, developing, and manufacturing clinical study materials; facilities, depreciation, and other expenses, which include office leases and other overhead expenses; and costs associated with pre-clinical activities and regulatory operations. Research and development expenses incurred by our Oncology/Immunology operations totaled $138.2 million, $174.8 million and $299.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively, representing approximately 67.4%, 76.7% and 84.0% of our total consolidated revenue for the respective period. These research and development figures do not include payments made by our collaboration partners directly to third parties to help fund the research and development of our drug candidates. We have been able to fund the research and development expenses for our Oncology/Immunology operations via a range of sources, including revenue generated from our commercialized drugs, payments received from our collaboration partners, cash flows generated from and dividend payments from our Other Ventures, the proceeds raised from our initial public offering on the AIM, initial public offering and follow-on offerings on Nasdaq, initial public offering on the SEHK, investments from other third parties and bank borrowings. This diversified approach to funding allows us to not depend on any one method of funding for our research and development activities, thereby reducing the risk that sufficient financing will be unavailable as we continue to accelerate the development of our drug candidates. For more information on the research and development expenses incurred for the development of our drug candidates, see “—Key Components of Results of Operations—Cost of Revenues and Operating Expenses—Research and Development Expenses.” Our Ability to Commercialize Our Drug Candidates Our ability to generate revenue from our drug candidates depends on our ability to successfully complete clinical trials for our drug candidates and obtain regulatory approvals for them in the United States, Europe, China and other major markets. We believe that our globally-facing strategy of focusing on drug development for novel but relatively well-characterized targets and for validated targets, in combination with our development of multiple drug candidates concurrently and testing them for multiple indications and in combinations with other drugs, enhances the likelihood that our research and development efforts will yield successful drug candidates. Nonetheless, we cannot be certain if any of our drug candidates will receive regulatory approvals. Even if such approvals are granted, we will need to thereafter establish manufacturing supply and engage in extensive marketing prior to generating any revenue from such drugs. The effectiveness of our marketing will depend on the efforts of our dedicated oncology team in China and the United States. The ultimate commercial success of our drugs will depend on their acceptance by patients, the medical community and third-party payors and their ability to compete effectively with other therapies on the market. To date, fruquintinib, surufatinib and savolitinib have been approved for sale in China. 167 Our manufacturing site in Suzhou produces commercial supplies of fruquintinib and surufatinib. Our commercial supplies of savolitinib are outsourced and manufactured by a third-party manufacturer based in Shanghai, China. Beginning in October 2020, we assumed responsibility for the development and execution of all on-the-ground medical detailing, promotion and local and regional marketing activities in China for Elunate. Sulanda is marketed by us without the support of a collaboration partner. However, we have a limited history of successfully commercializing our internally developed drug candidates, which makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects. The competitive environment is also an important factor with the commercial success of our potential global first-in-class products, such as sovleplenib, depending on whether we are able to gain regulatory approvals and quickly bring such products to market ahead of competing drug candidates being developed by other companies. For our drug candidates where we retain all rights worldwide, which currently include surufatinib, sovleplenib, amdizalisib, HMPL- 306, HMPL-760, HMPL-453, HMPL-295, HMPL-653, epitinib and theliatinib, we will be able to retain all the profits if any of them are successfully commercialized if they remain unpartnered, though we will need to bear all the costs associated with such drug candidates. Conversely, as discussed below, for our drug candidates which are subject to collaboration partnerships, our collaboration partners provide funding for development of the drug candidates but are entitled to retain a significant portion of any revenue generated by such drug candidates. Our Collaboration Partnerships Our results of operations have been, and we expect them to continue to be, affected by our collaborations with third parties for the development and commercialization of certain of our drug candidates. Currently, these include savolitinib (collaboration with AstraZeneca) and fruquintinib (collaboration with Eli Lilly). In addition to providing us with clinical and regulatory support, the payments received from these collaborations have been critical to our ability to develop and quickly advance the pre-clinical and clinical studies of multiple drug candidates concurrently. In particular, our partners cover a portion of our research and development costs for drug candidates developed in collaboration with them. For example, under our collaboration agreement with AstraZeneca, it is responsible for a significant portion of the development costs for savolitinib. However, in August 2016 and December 2020, we and AstraZeneca amended our collaboration agreement whereby we agreed to contribute additional funding for the research and development of savolitinib in return for a larger share of the upside if and when savolitinib is approved. In November 2021, we further amended our collaboration revising the sharing between us and AstraZeneca of development costs of savolitinib in China for non-small cell lung cancer, as well as adding potential development milestones. Under our original collaboration agreement with Eli Lilly, it was responsible for a significant portion of all fruquintinib development costs in China. Under the terms of our December 2018 amendment to this agreement, we are responsible for all development costs for fruquintinib in new life cycle indications. In July 2020, we amended our collaboration with Eli Lilly to assume responsibility for all on-the-ground medical detailing, promotion and local and regional marketing activities in China for Elunate, thereby expanding its potential economic value to our company. In addition, under our licensing, co-development and commercialization agreements with AstraZeneca and Eli Lilly, we received upfront payments upon our entry into such agreements and milestone payments upon the achievement of certain development, regulatory and commercial milestones payments for our provision of research and development services for the relevant drug candidate as well as royalties and revenue from product sales of Orpathys which we source from a third-party manufacturer and sell to AstraZeneca at cost and Elunate which we manufacture and sell to Eli Lilly at cost. Revenue recognized in our consolidated financial statements from such agreements with AstraZeneca and Eli Lilly totaled $26.3 million, $29.7 million and $107.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. AstraZeneca and Eli Lilly are entitled to a significant proportion of any future revenue from commercialization of our drug candidates developed in collaboration with them, as well as a degree of influence over the clinical development process for such drug candidates. Moreover, we have entered into and may consider entering in the future in-licensing arrangements to expand and complement our existing portfolio of novel oncology assets under which we may be obligated to make upfront, milestone and royalty payments. For example, in August 2021, we entered into an in-licensing agreement with Epizyme to collaborate in research, development, manufacturing and commercialization of tazemetostat in Greater China, the licensed territory. In connection with this collaboration, Epizyme received a $25 million upfront payment and is eligible to receive up to an additional $110 million in development and regulatory milestone payments and up to an additional $175 million in sales milestone payments. Epizyme is also eligible to receive tiered royalties of mid-teen to low-twenties percent based on annual net sales of tazemetostat in the licensed territory. 168 The achievement of milestones for our and in-licensed drug candidates, which is dependent on the outcome of clinical studies, is subject to a high degree of uncertainty and, as a result, we cannot reasonably estimate when we can expect to receive or incur future milestone payments, revenue from related product sales, or other relevant income or expenses or at all. If we are unable to achieve development milestones for our drug candidates or if our partners were to terminate their collaborative agreements with us, payments for research and development services could also be affected. For more information regarding our collaboration agreements, see Item 4.B. “Business Overview—Overview of Our Collaborations.” China Government Insurance Reimbursement and Drug Pricing Policies Our revenue is affected by the sales volume and pricing of our current and future internally developed drug candidates, if approved. Eligible participants in the government-sponsored medical insurance programs in China are entitled to reimbursement for varying percentages of the cost for any medicines that are included in applicable reimbursement lists. Factors that affect the inclusion of medicines in China’s NRDL and any other applicable reimbursement list may include whether the medicine is consumed in large volumes and commonly prescribed for clinical use in China and whether it is considered to be important in meeting the basic healthcare needs of the general public. For more information, see Item 4.B. “Business Overview—Coverage and Reimbursement—PRC Coverage and Reimbursement.” The inclusion of a medicine in the NRDL or other applicable reimbursement lists can substantially improve the sales volume of the medicine due to the availability of third-party reimbursements. On the other hand, such inclusion may also subject it to centralized procurement processes. The National Healthcare Security Administration has stated that centralized procurement will focus on NRDL-listed and costly-to-procure drugs. Centralized procurement may negatively affect the retail price of our drug candidates. On balance, we believe that, if priced appropriately, the benefit of the inclusion of our drug candidates in the NRDL and other applicable reimbursement lists outweighs the cost of such inclusion. Elunate was added to the NRDL in January 2020 at approximately 60% discount to its initial retail price, and such inclusion was renewed for an additional two-year term starting in January 2022 at a discount of 5% relative to the prior NRDL price. Sulanda was included in the NRDL starting in January 2022 at a 52% discount on its main dosage form, relative to its 2021 initial retail price. Revenue from our Other Ventures, including the revenue of our non-consolidated joint venture Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals, is affected by the sales volume and pricing of their own-brand and third-party prescription pharmaceutical products. The sales volume of the products sold by these businesses is driven in part by the level of Chinese government spending on healthcare and the coverage of Chinese government medical insurance schemes, which is correlated with patient reimbursements for drug purchases, all of which have increased significantly in recent years as part of healthcare reforms in China. The sales volume of pharmaceutical products in China is also influenced by their representation on the NRDL, which determines eligibility for drug reimbursement, as well as their representation on the National Essential Medicines List, which mandates distribution of drugs in China. Substantially all pharmaceutical products manufactured and sold by Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals in 2021 were capable of being reimbursed under the NRDL as of December 31, 2021. There were 17 of its drugs included in the National Essential Medicine List, of which three were in active production as of December 31, 2021. She Xiang Bao Xin pills, Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals’ top- selling drug, is one of the few proprietary drugs included on the National Essential Medicines List. The NRDL and the National Essential Medicines List are subject to revision by the government from time to time, and our results could be materially and adversely affected if any of our products are removed from the NRDL or the National Essential Medicines List. For more information, see Item 3.D. “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Sales of our Internally Developed Drugs and other Drugs— Reimbursement may not be available for the products currently sold through our Oncology/Immunology and Other Ventures operations or our drug candidates in China, the U.S. or other countries, which could diminish our sales or affect our profitability.” In addition, the pricing of Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals’ prescription drugs is influenced by the outcomes of periodic provincial and municipal tender processes organized by the various provincial or municipal government agencies in China. For more information, see Item 4.B. “Business Overview—Coverage and Reimbursement—PRC Coverage and Reimbursement.” 169 Ability to Effectively Market Own-Brand and Third-Party Drugs A key component of our Other Ventures operations is the extensive prescription drugs marketing network operated by our joint ventures Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals and Hutchison Sinopharm, which includes approximately 2,900 medical sales representatives covering hospitals in about 290 cities and towns in China. Our results of operations are impacted by the effectiveness of this network, including the ability of Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals to generate sales of She Xiang Bao Xin pills, which represented approximately 88%, 90% and 92% of its total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. In addition, in recent years Hutchison Sinopharm has been increasingly focused on providing distribution and commercialization services for prescription drugs licensed from third parties, and we have established and continue to expand our oncology drug sales team which we utilize for our internally developed drugs for which we have commercialization rights, if approved, throughout China. If the marketing efforts of these joint ventures to doctors and hospitals are not successful, our revenue and profitability may be negatively affected. Moreover, if we are unsuccessful in marketing any third party drugs, it may adversely affect our ability to enter into commercialization arrangements on acceptable terms, gain rights to market additional third-party drugs or prevent us from expanding the geographic scope of existing arrangements. Seasonality The results of operations of our Other Ventures operations are also affected by seasonal factors. Our Other Ventures operations typically experience higher profits in the first half of the year due to the sale cycles of our distributors, whereby they typically increase their inventories at the beginning of each year. In addition, in the second half of each year, our Other Ventures operations typically spend more on marketing activities to help reduce such inventory held by distributors. We do not experience material seasonal variations in the results of our Oncology/Immunology operations. Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates Our discussion and analysis of operating results and financial condition are based upon our consolidated financial statements. The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires us to estimate the effect of various matters that are inherently uncertain as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Each of these required estimates varies with regard to the level of judgment involved and its potential impact on our reported financial results. Estimates are deemed critical when a different estimate could have reasonably been used or where changes in the estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, and a different estimate would materially impact our financial position, changes in financial position or results of operations. Our significant accounting policies are discussed under note 3 to our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report. We believe the following critical accounting policies are affected by significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements and that the judgments and estimates are reasonable. 170 Revenue recognition— Goods and Services We generate revenue from (1) sales of goods, which are the manufacture or purchase and distribution of pharmaceutical products and other consumer health products and (2) provision of services, which are the provision of sales, distribution and marketing services to pharmaceutical manufacturers. We evaluate whether we are the principal or agent for these contracts. Where we obtain control of the goods for distribution, we are the principal (i.e. recognizes sales of goods on a gross basis). Where we do not obtain control of the goods for distribution, we are the agent (i.e. recognizes provision of services on a net basis). Control is primarily evidenced by taking physical possession and inventory risk of the goods. Revenue from sales of goods is recognized when the customer takes possession of the goods. We have determined that this usually occurs upon completed delivery of the goods to the customer site. The amount of revenue recognized is adjusted for expected sales incentives as stipulated in the contract, which are generally issued to customers as direct discounts at the point of sale or indirectly in the form of rebates. Sales incentives are estimated using the expected value method. Additionally, sales are generally made with a limited right of return under certain conditions. Revenues are recorded net of provisions for sales discounts and returns. Revenue from provision of services is recognized when the benefits of the services transfer to the customer over time, which is based on the proportionate value of services rendered as determined under the terms of the relevant contract. Additionally, when the amounts that can be invoiced correspond directly with the value to the customer for performance completed to date, we recognize revenue from provision of services based on amounts that can be invoiced to the customer. Revenue recognition— License and Collaboration Contracts Our Oncology/Immunology reportable segment includes revenue from license and collaboration contracts. The license and collaboration contracts generally contain multiple performance obligations including (1) the license to the commercialization rights of a drug compound and (2) the research and development services for each specified treatment indication, which are accounted for separately if they are distinct, i.e. if a product or service is separately identifiable from other items in the arrangement and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. The transaction price generally includes fixed and variable consideration in the form of upfront payment, research and development cost reimbursements, contingent milestone payments and sales-based royalties. Contingent milestone payments are not included in the transaction price until it becomes probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur, which is generally when the specified milestone is achieved. The allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation is based on the relative standalone selling prices of each performance obligation determined at the inception of the contract. We estimate the standalone selling prices based on the income approach. Control of the license to the drug compounds transfers at the inception date of the collaboration agreements and consequently, amounts allocated to this performance obligation are generally recognized at a point in time. Conversely, research and development services for each specified indication are performed over time and amounts allocated to these performance obligations are generally recognized over time using cost inputs as a measure of progress. We have determined that research and development expenses provide an appropriate depiction of measure of progress for the research and development services. Changes to estimated cost inputs may result in a cumulative catch-up adjustment. Royalty revenues are recognized as future sales occur as they meet the requirements for the sales- usage based royalty exception. Deferred revenue is recognized if allocated consideration is received in advance of the rendering of research and development services. Accounts receivable is recognized based on the terms of the contract and when we have an unconditional right to bill the customer, which is generally when research and development services are rendered. 171 Share-based Compensation We recognize share-based compensation expense on share options granted to employees and directors based on their estimated grant date fair value using the polynomial model. Determining the fair value of share options requires the use of highly subjective assumptions. This polynomial pricing model uses various inputs to measure fair value, including the market value of our underlying ordinary shares at the grant date, contractual terms, estimated volatility, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields. The assumptions in determining the fair value of share options are highly subjective and represent our best estimates, which involve inherent uncertainties and the application of judgment. As a result, if factors change and different assumptions are used, our level of share-based compensation could be materially different in the future. We recognize share-based compensation expense in the consolidated statements of operations on a graded vesting basis over the requisite service period, and account for forfeitures as they occur. Impairment of Long-lived Assets We evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets in accordance with authoritative guidance on accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. We evaluate long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. Indicators that we consider in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant under- performance of a business or product line in relation to expectations, significant negative industry or economic trends, and significant changes or planned changes in our use of the assets. If indicators of impairment exist, the first step of the impairment test is performed to assess if the carrying value of the net assets exceeds the undiscounted cash flows of the assets. If yes, the second step of the impairment test is performed in order to determine if the carrying value of the net assets exceeds the fair value. If yes, impairment is recognized for the excess. Impairment of Goodwill Goodwill is recorded when the purchase price of an acquisition exceeds the fair value of the net tangible and identified intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is allocated to our reporting units based on the relative expected fair value provided by the acquisition. Reporting units may be operating segments as a whole or an operation one level below an operating segment, referred to as a component. Goodwill is attributable to our Other Ventures’ operations. We perform an annual impairment assessment in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit in which goodwill resides is less than its carrying value. For reporting units in which this assessment concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value is more than its carrying value, goodwill is not considered impaired and we are not required to perform the goodwill impairment test. Qualitative factors considered in this assessment include industry and market considerations, overall financial performance, and other relevant events and factors affecting the reporting unit. Additionally, as part of this assessment, we may perform a quantitative analysis to support the qualitative factors above by applying sensitivities to assumptions and inputs used in measuring a reporting unit’s fair value. For reporting units in which the impairment assessment concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than its carrying value, we perform the goodwill impairment test, which compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that reporting unit, goodwill is not considered impaired. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. 172 Our goodwill impairment test uses the income method to estimate a reporting unit’s fair value. The income method is based on a discounted future cash flow approach that uses the following assumptions and inputs: revenue, based on assumed market segment growth rates; and appropriate discount rates based on a reporting unit’s weighted average cost of capital as determined by considering the observable weighted average cost of capital of comparable companies. Our estimate of market segment growth is based on historical data, various internal estimates, and a variety of external sources. This estimate is developed as part of our routine long-range planning process. We test the reasonableness of the inputs and outcomes of our discounted cash flow analysis against available comparable market data. A reporting unit’s carrying value represents the assignment of various assets and liabilities, excluding certain corporate assets and liabilities, such as cash, investments, and debt. We performed the goodwill impairment test and determined that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values and considered that impairment was not necessary for any reporting unit. Allowance for Current Expected Credit Losses Effective from January 1, 2020, we adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-13 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” We estimate our allowance for current expected credit losses based on an expected loss model, which requires the consideration of forward-looking economic variables and conditions in the reserve calculation across the portfolio. We estimate our allowances for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables (except for prepayments) by considering past events, including any historical default, current economic conditions and certain forward-looking information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts. From January 1, 2020 onwards, the methodologies that the Group uses to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses for accounts and other receivables are as follows: Individually evaluated—we review all accounts and other receivables considered at risk on a timely basis and perform an analysis based upon current information available about the customers and other debtors, which may include financial statements, news reports, published credit ratings as well as collateral net of repossession cost, prior collection history and current and future expected economic conditions. Using this information, we determine the expected cash flow for the accounts and other receivables and calculate an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. For those accounts for which the loss is probable, we record a specific allowance. Collectively evaluated—we determine our allowance for credit losses for collectively evaluated accounts and other receivables based on appropriate groupings. We consider forward-looking macroeconomic variables, which may include gross domestic product, unemployment rates, equity prices and corporate profits when quantifying the impact of economic forecasts on our allowance for expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables may vary based on historical experiences, portfolio composition and current environment. We also consider the impact of current conditions and economic forecasts relating to specific industries and client-credit ratings, in addition to performing a qualitative review of credit risk factors across the portfolio. Forward-looking estimates require the use of judgment, particularly in times of economic uncertainty.

The following table sets forth the components of our consolidated revenue for the years indicated, which does not include the revenue from our non-consolidated joint venture, Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals. In September 2021, we sold our interest in our non-consolidated joint venture, Hutchison Baiyunshan, and its historical financial results and the gain on its divestment are reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Our revenue from research and development projects for related parties is attributable to income for research and development services that we received from Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals. Our revenue from sales to related parties is attributable to sales by our Other Ventures to indirect subsidiaries of CK Hutchison.

The revenue we generate from Elunate is primarily comprised of revenue from the sales of Elunate to Eli Lilly which we manufacture and sell at cost, promotion and marketing services to Eli Lilly and royalty revenue. The revenue we generate from Sulanda, an unpartnered drug, is primarily comprised of revenue from sales of Sulanda to distributors. The revenue we generate from Orpathys is primarily comprised of revenue from the sales of Orpathys to AstraZeneca as well as royalty revenue. Additionally, Oncology/Immunology revenue includes revenue from licensing, co-development and commercialization agreements for upfront, milestone and research and development services payments for our drug candidates developed in collaboration with AstraZeneca and Eli Lilly.

We may never succeed in achieving regulatory approval for any of our drug candidates currently under development. The duration, costs, and timing of clinical studies and development of our drug candidates will depend on a variety of factors, including:    the scope, rate of progress and expense of our ongoing as well as any additional clinical studies and other research and development activities; future clinical study results; uncertainties in clinical study enrollment rate; 177   significant and changing government regulation; and the timing and receipt of any regulatory approvals. A change in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of a drug candidate could mean a significant change in the costs and timing associated with the development of that drug candidate. For more information on the risks associated with the development of our drug candidates, see Item 3.D. “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Oncology/Immunology Operations and Development of Our Drug Candidates—All of our drug candidates, other than fruquintinib, surufatinib and savolitinib for approved indications in China, are still in development. If we are unable to obtain regulatory approval and ultimately commercialize our drug candidates, or if we experience significant delays in doing so, our business will be materially harmed.” Selling Expenses The following table sets forth the components of our selling expenses for the years indicated.

The Cayman Islands currently levies no taxes on profits, income, gains or appreciation earned by individuals or corporations. In addition, our payment of dividends, if any, is not subject to withholding tax in the Cayman Islands. For more information, see Item 10.E. “Taxation—Overview of Tax Implications of Various Other Jurisdictions—Cayman Islands Taxation.” People’s Republic of China Our subsidiaries and a joint venture incorporated in the PRC are governed by the EIT Law and regulations. Under the EIT Law, the standard EIT rate is 25% on taxable profits as reduced by available tax losses. Tax losses may be carried forward to offset any taxable profits for the following five years (extended to ten years for those with HNTE status, with effective from January 1, 2018). HUTCHMED Limited and our non-consolidated joint venture, Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals, have been successful in their respective applications to renew their HNTE status for three years from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022. Accordingly, these entities are eligible to a preferential EIT rate of 15% for the years ended/ending December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022. HUTCHMED (Suzhou) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of HUTCHMED Limited, successful renewed its HNTE status for another three years from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023. Accordingly, it is eligible for a preferential EIT rate of 15% for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023. For more information, see Item 10.E. “Taxation—Taxation in the PRC.” Please also see Item. 3 “Key Information—Risk Factors— Other Risks and Risks Relating to Doing Business in China—Our business benefits from certain PRC government tax incentives. The expiration of, changes to, or our PRC subsidiaries/joint venture failing to continuously meet the criteria for these incentives could have a material adverse effect on our operating results by significantly increasing our tax expenses.” According to the EIT Law and its implementation regulations, dividends declared after January 1, 2008 and paid by PRC foreign- invested enterprises to their non-PRC parent companies will be subject to PRC withholding tax at 10% unless there is a tax treaty between the PRC and the jurisdiction in which the overseas parent company is a tax resident and which specifically exempts or reduces such withholding tax, and such tax exemption or reduction is approved by the relevant PRC tax authorities. Pursuant to the tax arrangement between PRC and Hong Kong, if a shareholder of the PRC enterprise is a Hong Kong tax resident and directly holds a 25% or more equity interest in the PRC enterprise and is considered to be the beneficial owner of dividends paid by the PRC enterprise, such withholding tax rate may be lowered to 5%, subject to approval by the relevant PRC tax authorities. For more information, see Item 10.E. “Taxation—Taxation in the PRC” and “Taxation—Overview of Tax Implications of Various Other Jurisdictions— Hong Kong Taxation.” Hong Kong Our company and certain of its subsidiaries are subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax laws and regulations.

Period-to-Period Comparison of Results of Operations Year Ended December 31, 2021 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2020 Revenues Our revenue increased by 56.2% from $228.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $356.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, which resulted from increased revenue in both the Oncology/Immunology and Other Ventures operations. 181 Revenue from Oncology/Immunology increased by 295.9% from $30.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $119.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to an increase in revenue related to the sales of Elunate from $20.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 (of which $11.3 million was revenue from sales of goods primarily to Eli Lilly, $4.9 million was royalty revenue, and $3.8 million was revenue from promotion and marketing services to Eli Lilly which commenced in October 2020) to $53.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 (of which $15.8 million was revenue from sales of goods primarily to Eli Lilly, $10.3 million was royalty revenue and $27.4 million was revenue from promotion and marketing services to Eli Lilly). The increase was also attributable to revenue generated from the commercial launch of Sulanda of $11.6 million and Orpathys of $11.3 million (of which $6.5 million was revenue from sales of goods and $4.8 million was royalty revenue) in January 2021 and July 2021, respectively. In addition, revenue related to collaboration research and development services increased from $9.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $42.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily attributable to the receipt of a $25.0 million milestone payment from AstraZeneca upon the commercial launch of Orpathys. Revenue from our Other Ventures increased by 19.6% from $197.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $236.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to an increase in sales of prescription drug products. Revenue from sales of prescription drugs increased by 23.6% from $165.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $204.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily due to increased sales by our consolidated joint venture Hutchison Sinopharm. Revenue from the sales of our consumer health products remained relatively stable at $32.7 million and $32.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively. Cost of Revenues Our cost of revenues increased by 37.0% from $188.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $258.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. This increase was primarily due to increased sales by both the Oncology/Immunology and Other Ventures operations. Cost of revenues from Oncology/Immunology increased by 270.0% from $12.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $44.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to an increase in sales of Elunate, including the provision of promotion and marketing services to Eli Lilly which commenced in October 2020, and the commencement of sales of Sulanda which launched in January 2021 and Orpathys which launched in July 2021. Cost of revenues from our Other Ventures increased by 21.0% from $176.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $213.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was primarily due to increased sales. Cost of revenues as a percentage of our revenues decreased from 82.7% to 72.5% across these periods primarily due to the increase in revenue from Oncology/Immunology which has higher margins than Other Ventures. Research and Development Expenses Our research and development expenses incurred by Oncology/Immunology increased by 71.1% from $174.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $299.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was primarily due to an $84.2 million increase in CROs and other clinical trial related costs and a $40.1 million increase in employee compensation related and other costs. These increased costs were due to a significant expansion of clinical activities in the United States and rapid organizational growth to support such expansion. In particular, this increase was attributable to the expansion of the fruquintinib, savolitinib, surufatinib, amdizalisib, HMPL-306, HMPL-760 development programs and a $10.0 million payment in connection with our in-licensing agreement for tazemetostat. As a result, research and development expenses as a percentage of our revenue increased from 76.7% to 84.0% across these periods. Selling Expenses Our selling expenses increased by 233.7% from $11.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $37.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily attributable to the commencement of marketing activities following the commercial launch of Sulanda in January 2021. Selling expenses as a percentage of our revenues increased from 5.0% to 10.6% across these periods. 182 Administrative Expenses Our administrative expenses increased by 78.5% from $50.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $89.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. This was primarily due to a $29.2 million increase in administrative expenses incurred by Oncology/Immunology, which was mainly related to increased staff cost to support the expansion of our clinical activities. This increase was also attributable to preparation costs for the potential launch of marketed products in the United States and other countries. Administrative expenses as a percentage of our revenues increased from 21.9% to 25.1% across these periods. Gain on Divestment of An Equity Investee We had a gain on divestment of an equity investee of $121.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, before applicable capital gain taxes and amounts attributable to non-controlling interests, which is related to the disposal of our shareholding interest in Hutchison Baiyunshan. Other Income/(Expense) We had net other income of $6.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to net other expense of $8.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The change was primarily due to a $12.5 million fair value loss recorded on a warrant to purchase shares of Epizyme in 2021, a decrease in interest income of $1.2 million due to lower bank deposit rates, and a decrease in foreign currency exchange gains of $1.6 million. Income Tax Expense Our income tax expense increased from $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $11.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to the capital gains taxes related to the disposal of our shareholding interest in Hutchison Baiyunshan. Equity in Earnings of Equity Investees Our equity in earnings of equity investees, net of tax, decreased by 23.3% from $79.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $60.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. This change was primarily due to the disposal of our shareholding interest in Hutchison Baiyunshan in September 2021.

Year Ended December 31, Revenue Cost of sales Selling expenses Administrative expenses Other net operating income Taxation charge Profit for the year Equity in earnings of equity investee attributable to our company 2021 % 2020 % ($’000) 332,648 (77,559) (131,821) (22,627) 4,759 (15,896) 89,388 44,678 100.0 (23.3) (39.6) (6.8) 1.4 (4.8) 26.9 13.4 ($’000) 276,354 (72,163) (111,892) (17,907) 3,473 (10,833) 67,020 33,502 100.0 (26.1) (40.5) (6.5) 1.3 (3.9) 24.3 12.1 Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals’ revenue increased by 20.4% from $276.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $332.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to an increase in sales of She Xiang Bao Xin pills, a vasodilator used in the treatment of heart conditions. Sales of She Xiang Bao Xin pills increased by 22.8% from $250.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $ 307.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. 183 Cost of sales increased by 7.5% from $72.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $77.6 million for the year December 31, 2021, primarily due to higher sales of She Xiang Bao Xin pills. Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals’ revenue increased at a higher rate than cost of sales due to an increased proportion of sales of higher margin She Xiang Bao Xin pills. Selling expenses increased by 17.8% from $111.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $131.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, as a result of increased spending on marketing and promotional activities to support the increase in sales. Administrative expenses increased by 26.4% from $17.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $22.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to an increase in research and development expenses for new products. Other net operating income increased by 37.0% from $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to an increase in government grants and interest income. Taxation charge increased by 46.7% from $10.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $15.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to an increase in taxable profit. As a result of the foregoing, profit increased by 33.4% from $67.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $89.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Our equity in earnings of equity investees contributed by this joint venture was $33.5 million and $44.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively. Hutchison Baiyunshan The following table shows a summary of the results of operations of Hutchison Baiyunshan for the periods indicated. The consolidated financial statements of Hutchison Baiyunshan are prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB and are presented separately elsewhere in this annual report. Revenue Cost of sales Selling expenses Administrative expenses Gain on return of land Other net operating income Taxation charge Profit attributable to equity holders of Hutchison Baiyunshan Equity in earnings of equity investee attributable to our company Period Ended September 28, 2021 % 100.0 (47.0) (35.5) (10.3) 7.8 2.5 (2.3) 15.2 7.6 ($’000) 209,528 (98,462) (74,425) (21,659) 16,433 5,306 (4,840) 31,850 15,919 Year Ended December 31, 2020 % 100.0 (49.7) (31.9) (11.0) 36.4 2.6 (7.1) 39.3 19.6 ($’000) 232,368 (115,564) (74,066) (25,664) 84,667 6,071 (16,494) 91,276 45,641 Fluctuations in revenue, cost of sales, administrative expenses and other net operating income between the periods presented is primarily due to the disposal of Hutchison Baiyunshan on September 28, 2021. Selling expenses as a percentage of revenue increased by 3.6% from 31.9% for the year ended December 31, 2020 to 35.5% for the period ended September 28, 2021, primarily due to an increase in advertising expenses for brand building activities. Gain on return of land was related to a one-time gain from land compensation for a return of land use rights to the Guangzhou government, and the majority of the compensation amount was received and recognized in 2020. Taxation charge decreased by 70.7% from $16.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $4.8 million for the period ended September 28, 2021, primarily due to a decrease in gain on return of land between these periods. As a result of the foregoing, profit attributable to equity holders of Hutchison Baiyunshan decreased by 65.1% from $91.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $31.9 million for the period ended September 28, 2021. Our equity in earnings of equity investees contributed by this joint venture was $45.6 million and $15.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the period ended September 28, 2021, respectively. 184 For more information on the financial results of our non-consolidated joint ventures, see “—Key Components of Results of Operations— Equity in Earnings of Equity Investees.” Net Loss As a result of the foregoing, our net loss increased from $115.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $167.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Net loss attributable to our company increased from $125.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $194.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Year Ended December 31, 2020 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2019 Revenues Our revenue increased by 11.3% from $204.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $228.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, which was caused by increased revenue from both Oncology/Immunology and Other Ventures operations. Revenue from Oncology/Immunology increased by 12.8% from $26.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $30.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to an increase in revenue related to the sale of Elunate from $10.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 (of which $2.7 million was royalty revenue and $8.1 million was revenue from sales to Eli Lilly) to $20.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 (of which $4.9 million was royalty revenue, $11.3 million was revenue from sales of goods primarily to Eli Lilly and $3.8 million was revenue from promotion and marketing services to Eli Lilly which commenced in October 2020) as a result of the inclusion of Elunate in the 2020 China NRDL. Elunate was included on China’s NRDL at an approximately 60% discount to its initial retail price. The inclusion of Elunate resulted in a substantial improvement in sales volume due to the availability of third-party reimbursements. This increase was offset in part by a decrease in revenue related to collaboration research and development services from $15.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $9.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 as there was less clinical activity subject to reimbursement from our collaboration partners. Revenue from our Other Ventures increased by 11.0% from $178.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $197.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to an increase in sales of prescription drug products. Revenue from sales of prescription drugs increased by 17.0% from $141.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $165.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily due to increased sales by our consolidated joint venture Hutchison Sinopharm. The increase was offset in part by lower provision of services which decreased from $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to nil for the year ended December 31, 2020 after the discontinuation of our distribution of Seroquel in May 2019. This increase was also offset in part by a decrease in sales of consumer health products which decreased by 4.9% from $34.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $32.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. This decrease was primarily attributable to decreased sales of infant nutrition products. Our Other Ventures’ results of operations are affected by seasonality. For more information, see “—Factors Affecting our Results of Operations—Other Ventures—Seasonality.” Cost of Revenues Our cost of revenues increased by 17.7% from $160.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $188.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. This increase was primarily due to increased sales by our Other Ventures. Our cost of revenues increased at a higher rate than revenue due to an increased proportion of sales of lower margin products by Hutchison Sinopharm. As a result, cost of revenues as a percentage of our revenues increased from 78.2% to 82.7% across these periods. 185 Research and Development Expenses Our research and development expenses incurred by Oncology/Immunology increased by 26.5% from $138.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $174.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, which was primarily attributable to a $18.1 million increase in payments to CROs and other clinical trial related costs and a $18.5 million increase in employee compensation related and other costs. These increased costs were due to a significant expansion of clinical activities in the United States and rapid organizational growth to support such expansion. In particular, this increase was attributable to the expansion of the fruquintinib, surufatinib, HMPL- 306 and amdizalisib development programs. As a result, research and development expenses as a percentage of our revenue increased from 67.4% to 76.7% across these periods. Selling Expenses Our selling expenses decreased by 17.4% from $13.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $11.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to decreased marketing activities after the COVID-19 outbreak. Selling expenses as a percentage of our revenues from our Other Ventures decreased from 7.7% to 5.6% across these periods. Administrative Expenses Our administrative expenses increased by 27.6% from $39.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $50.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. This was primarily due to $7.0 million increase in administrative expenses incurred by Oncology/Immunology, which was mainly related to increased staff cost to support the expansion of our clinical activities. There was also an increase of $3.0 million in administrative expenses incurred by our corporate head office for organizational expansion. Administrative expenses as a percentage of our revenues increased from 19.1% to 21.9% across these periods. Other Income/(Expense) We had net other income of $5.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to net other income of $6.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to foreign currency exchange gains of $3.0 million, offset in part by a decline in interest income of $1.7 million due to lower bank deposit rates. Income Tax Expense Our income tax expense increased from $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily due to the accrual of withholding tax on the undistributed earnings in relation to the gain on return of land by Hutchison Baiyunshan. Equity in Earnings of Equity Investees Our equity in earnings of equity investees, net of tax, increased by 94.2% from $40.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $79.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. This change was primarily due to the one-time gain on return of land recorded by our former non-consolidated joint venture, Hutchison Baiyunshan, of which our attributable portion recorded to equity in earnings of equity investees, net of tax, was $36.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. 186 Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals The following table shows a summary of the results of operations of Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals for the years indicated. The consolidated financial statements of Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals are prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB and are presented separately elsewhere in this annual report. Revenue Cost of sales Selling expenses Administrative expenses Other net operating income Taxation charge Profit for the year Equity in earnings of equity investee attributable to our company Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 ($’000) 276,354 (72,163) (111,892) (17,907) 3,473 (10,833) 67,020 33,502 % 100.0 (26.1) (40.5) (6.5) 1.3 (3.9) 24.3 12.1 ($’000) 272,082 (77,313) (110,591) (14,761) 2,941 (11,015) 61,301 30,654 % 100.0 (28.4) (40.6) (5.4) 1.1 (4.0) 22.5 11.3 Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals’ revenue increased by 1.6% from $272.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $276.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to an increase in sales of She Xiang Bao Xin pills, a vasodilator used in the treatment of heart conditions. Sales of She Xiang Bao Xin pills increased by 4.4% from $239.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $250.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Additionally, revenue from Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals’ distribution business decreased from $11.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $5.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to lower provision of services after the discontinuation of our distribution of Seroquel. Cost of sales decreased by 6.7% from $77.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $72.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to the discontinuation of our distribution of Seroquel. Additionally, Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals’ revenue increased at a higher rate than cost of sales due to an increased proportion of sales of higher margin She Xiang Bao Xin pills. Selling expenses increased by 1.2% from $110.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $111.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, in line with the increase in revenues. Administrative expenses increased by 21.3% from $14.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $17.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to an increase in research and development expenses for new products. Other net operating income is primarily comprised of government grants and interest income. Other net operating income increased by 18.1% from $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to higher interest income of $0.4 million. Taxation charge decreased by 1.7% from $11.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $10.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to more tax concessions received in the year ended December 31, 2020. As a result of the foregoing, profit increased by 9.3% from $61.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $67.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Our equity in earnings of equity investees contributed by this joint venture was $30.7 million and $33.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively. 187 Hutchison Baiyunshan The following table shows a summary of the results of operations of our former non-consolidated joint venture, Hutchison Baiyunshan, for the years indicated. The consolidated financial statements of Hutchison Baiyunshan are prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB and are presented separately elsewhere in this annual report. Revenue Cost of sales Selling expenses Administrative expenses Gain on return of land Other net operating income Taxation charge Profit attributable to equity holders of Hutchison Baiyunshan Equity in earnings of equity investee attributable to our company Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 ($’000) 232,368 (115,564) (74,066) (25,664) 84,667 6,071 (16,494) 91,276 45,641 % 100.0 (49.7) (31.9) (11.0) 36.4 2.6 (7.1) 39.3 19.6 ($’000) 215,403 (100,279) (74,013) (23,817) — 5,626 (3,634) 19,792 9,899 % 100.0 (46.6) (34.4) (11.1) — 2.6 (1.7) 9.2 4.6 Hutchison Baiyunshan’s revenue increased by 7.9% from $215.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $232.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to an increase in sales of Banlangen, an anti-viral product, after the COVID-19 outbreak. Cost of sales increased by 15.2% from $100.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $115.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to an increase in raw material costs for Banlangen. Selling expenses remained stable at $74.0 million and $74.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively. Administrative expenses increased by 7.8% from $23.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $25.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to an increase in general overhead costs incurred. Other net operating income is primarily comprised of government grants, interest income, brand-licensing income and rental income. Other net operating income increased by 7.9% from $5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $6.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to higher government grants of $0.3 million and higher brand-licensing income of $0.2 million. Taxation charge increased by 354% from $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $16.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to a tax of $12.7 million on a one-time gain on return of land for the year ended December 31, 2020. As a result of the foregoing and the one-time gain on return of land of $84.7 million related to land compensation received from the Guangzhou government, profit attributable to equity holders of Hutchison Baiyunshan increased by 361% from $19.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $91.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Our equity in earnings of equity investees contributed by this joint venture was $9.9 million and $45.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively. For more information on the financial results of our non-consolidated joint ventures, see “—Key Components of Results of Operations— Equity in Earnings of Equity Investees.” Net Loss As a result of the foregoing, our net loss increased from $103.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $115.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Net loss attributable to our company increased from $106.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $125.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. 188 B. Liquidity and Capital Resources To date, we have taken a multi-source approach to fund our operations, including through cash flows generated and dividend payments from our Oncology/Immunology and Other Ventures operations, service and milestone and upfront payments from our collaboration partners, bank borrowings, investments from other third parties, proceeds from our listings on various stock exchanges and follow-on offerings. Our Oncology/Immunology operations have historically not generated significant profits or have operated at a net loss, as creating potential global first-in-class or best-in-class drug candidates requires a significant investment of resources over a prolonged period of time. As a result, we anticipate that we may need additional financing for our Oncology/Immunology operations in future periods. See Item 3.D. “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Oncology/Immunology Operations and Development of Our Drug Candidates— Historically, our in house research and development division, which is included in our Oncology/Immunology operations, has not generated significant profits or has operated at a net loss. Our future profitability is dependent on the successful commercialization of our drug candidates.” As of December 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $377.5 million and short-term investments of $634.2 million and unutilized bank facilities of $157.4 million. Substantially all of our bank deposits are at major financial institutions, which we believe are of high credit quality. As of December 31, 2021, we had $26.9 million in bank loans, all of which was related to a term loan from HSBC. The total weighted average cost of bank borrowings for the year ended December 31, 2021 was 1.08% per annum. For additional information, see “—Loan Facilities.” Certain of our subsidiaries and joint ventures, including those registered as wholly foreign-owned enterprises in China, are required to set aside at least 10.0% of their after-tax profits to their general reserves until such reserves reach 50.0% of their registered capital. In addition, certain of our joint ventures are required to allocate certain of their after-tax profits as determined in accordance with related regulations and their respective articles of association to the reserve funds upon their board approval. Profit appropriated to the reserve funds for our subsidiaries and joint ventures incorporated in the PRC was approximately $51,000, $44,000 and $89,000 for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. In addition, as a result of PRC regulations restricting dividend distributions from such reserve funds and from a company’s registered capital, our PRC subsidiaries are restricted in their ability to transfer a certain amount of their net assets to us as cash dividends, loans or advances. This restricted portion amounted to $0.1 million as of December 31, 2021. Although we do not currently require any such dividends, loans or advances from our PRC subsidiaries to fund our operations, should we require additional sources of liquidity in the future, such restrictions may have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and capital resources. For more information, see Item 4.B. “Business Overview—Regulation—PRC Regulation of Foreign Currency Exchange, Offshore Investment and State-Owned Assets— Regulation on Investment in Foreign invested Enterprises—Regulation on Dividend Distribution.” In addition, our non-consolidated joint venture Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals held $50.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and no bank borrowings as of December 31, 2021. Such cash and cash equivalents are only accessible by us through dividend payments from the joint venture. The level of dividends declared by the joint venture is subject to agreement each year between us and our joint venture partner based on the profitability and working capital needs of the joint venture. As a result, we cannot guarantee that the joint venture will continue to pay dividends to us in the future at the same rate we have enjoyed in the past, or at all, which may have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and capital resources. For more information, see Item 3.D. “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Sales of our Internally Developed Drugs and Other Drugs—As a significant portion of the operations of our Other Ventures is conducted through joint venture, we are largely dependent on the success of our joint venture and our receipt of dividends or other payments from our joint venture for cash to fund our operations and our investment in joint venture subject to liquidity risk.” 189 We believe that our current levels of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, along with cash flows from operations, dividend payments and unutilized bank borrowings, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months. In the long term, we believe that we can meet our need for cash through revenues generated from marketed products, public and private sales of our securities and the potential disposals of our remaining non-core businesses. However, we may require additional financing in order to fund all of the clinical development efforts that we plan to undertake to accelerate the development of our clinical-stage drug candidates. For more information, see Item 3.D. “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Financial Position and Need for Capital.” Cash Flow Data: Net cash used in operating activities Net cash (used in)/generated from investing activities Net cash generated from/(used in) financing activities Net increase in cash and cash equivalents Effect of exchange rate changes Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of the year Cash and cash equivalents at end of the year Net Cash used in Operating Activities 2021 Year Ended December 31, 2020 ($’000) 2019 (204,223) (306,320) 650,028 139,485 2,427 235,630 377,542 (62,066) (125,441) 296,434 108,927 5,546 121,157 235,630 (80,912) 119,028 (1,493) 36,623 (1,502) 86,036 121,157 Net cash used in operating activities was $62.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $204.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The net change of $142.1 million was primarily attributable to higher operating expenses of $259.8 million from $424.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $684.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, offset in part by an increase in revenues of approximately $128.1 million from $228.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $356.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Net cash used in operating activities was $80.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $62.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The net change of $18.8 million was primarily attributable to an increase in dividends received from Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals and Hutchison Baiyunshan of $58.6 million from $28.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $86.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The net change was partially offset by higher net losses, primarily due to an increase in research and development expenses of $36.6 million from $138.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $174.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Net Cash (used in)/generated from Investing Activities Net cash used in investing activities was $125.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $306.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The net change of $180.9 million was primarily attributable to an increase in net deposits in short-term investment of $331.1 million from $103.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $434.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The net change was also attributable to the payment of $15.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 to acquire a warrant to purchase Epizyme shares. The net change was partially offset by the proceeds received from the divestment of Hutchison Baiyunshan of $159.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2021. Net cash generated from investing activities was $119.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $125.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The net change of $244.4 million was primarily attributable to a net withdrawal of deposits in short-term investments of $118.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to a net deposit in short-term investments of $103.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The facility amount of this loan was HK$234.0 million ($30.0 million) with an interest rate at the Hong Kong Inter-bank Offered Rate, or HIBOR, plus 0.85% per annum. This credit facility was guaranteed by us and included certain financial covenant requirements. The revolving loan facility expired in November 2021. In May 2019, HUTCHMED Group (HK) Limited entered into additional credit facility arrangements with HSBC for the provision of unsecured credit facilities in the aggregate amount of HK$400.0 million ($51.3 million). The 3-year credit facilities include (i) a HK$210.0 million ($26.9 million) term loan facility and (ii) a HK$190.0 million ($24.4 million) revolving loan facility, both with an interest rate at HIBOR plus 0.85% per annum. These credit facilities are guaranteed by us and include certain financial covenant requirements. In October 2019, we drew down HK$210.0 million ($26.9 million) from the term loan facility and as of December 31, 2021, no amount was drawn from the revolving loan facility. In August 2020, HUTCHMED Group (HK) Limited entered into a 24-month revolving credit facility with Deutsche Bank AG in the amount of HK$117.0 million ($15.0 million) with an interest rate at HIBOR plus 4.5% per annum.

Our non-consolidated joint venture Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals had no bank borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2021. Gearing Ratio The gearing ratio of our group, which was calculated by dividing total interest-bearing loans by total equity, was 2.6% as of December 31, 2021, a decrease from 5.2% as of December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily attributable to the increase in equity due to our primary offering of shares on the SEHK. Capital Expenditures We had capital expenditures of $8.6 million, $19.6 million and $16.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. Our capital expenditures during these periods were primarily used for the purchases of leasehold land and property, plant and equipment for a new large-scale manufacturing facility for innovative drugs in Shanghai, China and to expand the HUTCHMED Limited research facilities and the manufacturing facility in Suzhou, China. Our capital expenditures have been primarily funded by cash flows from operations and proceeds from our initial public and follow-on offerings in Hong Kong and the United States and other equity offerings. As of December 31, 2021, we had commitments for capital expenditures of approximately $44.2 million, primarily for the construction of the new manufacturing facility in Shanghai. We expect to fund these capital expenditures through cash flows from operations, bank borrowings and existing cash resources.

The employment agreements prohibit the executive officers from engaging in any conduct and business activities which may compete with the business or interests of HUTCHMED Limited during the term of the executive officer’s employment. These executive officers also enjoy the Hutchison Provident Fund retirement scheme, medical coverage under the CK Hutchison Group Medical Scheme and personal accident insurance. We may terminate an executive officer’s employment for cause at any time without notice. Termination for cause may include a serious breach of our internal rules and policies, serious negligence in the executive officer’s performance of his or her duties, an accusation or conviction of a criminal offence, acquisition of another job which materially affects the executive officer’s ability to perform his or her duties for our company and other circumstances stipulated by applicable PRC laws. We may terminate an executive officer’s employment with three months’ prior notice if the executive officer is unable to perform his or her duties (after the expiration of the prescribed medical treatment period) because of an illness or non-work-related injury or the executive officer is incompetent and remains incompetent after training or adjustment of his or her position. The executive officer may voluntarily terminate his or her contract without cause with three months’ prior notice. The executive officer may also terminate the employment agreement immediately for cause, which includes a failure by us to provide labor protection and the work conditions as specified under the employment agreement. In case of termination for any reason, we agree to make any mandatory severance payments required by the relevant PRC labor laws. Offer Letters for Executive Officers at HUTCHMED International Corporation (formerly Hutchison MediPharma (US) Inc. and Hutchison MediPharma International Inc.) We have entered into employment offer letters with each of our executive officers who is employed by one of our U.S. subsidiaries, HUTCHMED International Corporation, namely Mr. Marek Krzysztof Kania and Mr. Thomas R. Held. Under these offer letters, such executives receive compensation in the form of salaries, discretionary bonuses, group medical, dental and other insurance 401(k) plan and annual leave. We may terminate employment by giving the executive three months’ prior written notice. The executive officer may also voluntarily terminate his employment with us upon not less than three months’ prior written notice to us. In the event that the employment is terminated by us without cause or by the executive with good reason and the executive has completed at least 12 months of service, the executive may be entitled to up to six months of salary and prorated annual target bonus. Mr. Marek Krzysztof Kania has also agreed, for the term of employment with us and thereafter, not to disclose or use for his own purposes any of our and our associated companies’ trade secrets or confidential information that he may develop or learn in the course of employment with us. Employment Agreement with Executive Officer at Hutchison Sinopharm We have entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Hong Chen, one of our executive officers, who is employed by Hutchison Sinopharm. Under this employment agreement, Mr. Chen’s employment is for a fixed term, and he receives compensation in the form of salaries, discretionary bonuses, annual leave, statutory maternity leave and nursing leave. 199 Under the terms of this agreement, we provide labor protection and work conditions that comply with the safety and sanitation requirements stipulated by the relevant PRC laws. The employment agreement prohibits any conduct directly or indirectly which is harmful to Hutchison Sinopharm during the term of the employment. We may terminate Mr. Chen’s employment for cause at any time without notice. We may also terminate the employment with prior notice and termination compensation if Mr. Chen is unable to perform his duties because of an illness or non-work-related injury or he is incompetent and remains incompetent after training or adjustment of his position. Mr. Chen may voluntarily terminate his employment agreement without cause with one month’s prior notice and immediately for cause.

The LTIP awards are conditional upon the achievement of annual performance targets for the fiscal year 2021. The amounts reflected in the table above assume the maximum amount that may be paid under these contingent LTIP awards. The LTIP awards will be settled in a variable number of shares based on a fixed monetary amount awarded upon achievement of performance targets.

Equity Compensation Schemes and Other Benefit Plans We have two share option schemes. We refer to these collectively as the Option Schemes. Our shareholder adopted the first option scheme, or the 2005 Option Scheme, in June 2005, and it was subsequently approved by the shareholders of Hutchison Whampoa Limited, our then majority shareholder, in May 2006 and later amended by our board of directors in March 2007. This share option scheme expired in 2016. In April 2015, our shareholders adopted the second option scheme, or the 2015 Option Scheme, which was later approved by the shareholders of CK Hutchison, the ultimate parent of our then majority shareholder, in May 2016. The 2015 Option Scheme was subsequently amended in April 2020. We also have a long-term incentive scheme which was adopted by our shareholders in April 2015. We refer to this as our LTIP. 201 Our Option Schemes and LTIP each terminates on the tenth anniversary of their adoption. Each may also be terminated by its board of directors at any time. Any termination of a scheme is without prejudice to the awards outstanding at such time. Options are no longer being granted under the 2005 Option Scheme, but outstanding awards under the 2005 Option Scheme continue to be governed by the terms thereof. The following describes the material terms of our Option Schemes and LTIP, or collectively the Schemes. Awards and Eligible Grantees. The Option Schemes provide for the award of share options exercisable for ordinary shares or ADSs of our company to Eligible Employees (as defined in the Option Schemes) or non-executive directors (excluding any independent non- executive directors under the Option Schemes). Under our LTIP, awards in the form of contingent rights to receive either shares purchased from the market by the scheme trustee or cash payments may be granted to the directors of our company, directors of our subsidiaries and employees of our company, subsidiaries, affiliates or such other companies as determined by our board of directors in its absolute discretion. Scheme Administration. Our board of directors has delegated its authority for administering our Option Schemes and our LTIP to our remuneration committee. Each such plan administrator has the authority to, among other things, select participants and determine the amount and terms and conditions of the awards under the applicable Schemes as it deems necessary and proper, subject to the restrictions described in “—Restrictions on Grants” below. Restrictions on Grants. Under the Option Schemes, grants may not be made to independent non-executive directors. Furthermore, those grants may not be made to any of our employees or directors if such person is also a director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of any of our direct or indirect parent companies which is listed on a stock exchange or any of its associates without approval by the independent non-executive directors of such parent company (excluding any independent non-executive director who is a proposed grantee). In addition, approval by our shareholders and the shareholders of such listed parent company is required if an option grant under our Option Schemes is to be made to a substantial shareholder or independent non-executive director of a listed parent company or any of its associates and, upon exercise of such grant and any other grants made during the prior 12-month period to that shareholder, that individual would receive an amount of our ordinary shares equal or greater than 0.1% of our total outstanding shares or with an aggregate value in excess of HK$5 million (equivalent to $0.6 million as of December 31, 2017). In addition, options under our Option Schemes may not be granted to any individual if, upon the exercise of such options, the individual would receive an amount of shares when aggregated with all other options granted to such individual under the applicable Scheme in the 12-month period up to and including the grant date, that exceeds 1% of the total shares outstanding of the company granting the award on such date. There are no individual limits under our LTIP. Under our LTIP, no grant to any director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of our company may be made without the prior approval of our independent non-executive directors (excluding an independent non-executive director who is a proposed grantee). Vesting. Vesting conditions of options granted under the Schemes are determined by the respective board of directors at the time of grant. 202 Under our Option Schemes, if a participant has committed any misconduct or any conduct making such participant’s service terminable for cause, all options (whether vested or unvested) lapse unless the respective board of directors otherwise determines in its absolute discretion. Options may be exercised to the extent vested where a participant’s service ceases due to the participant’s death, serious illness, injury, disability, retirement at the applicable retirement age, or earlier if determined by the participant’s employer, or if a participant’s service ceases for any other reason other than for cause. Under our LTIP, if a participant’s employment or service with our company or its subsidiaries is terminated for cause or if the participant breaches certain provisions in our LTIP restricting the transfer of awards by grantees and imposing non-competition obligations on grantees, all unvested awards are automatically cancelled. Where a participant’s employment or service ceases for any reason other than the reasons listed above (including due to the participant’s resignation, retirement, death or disability or upon the non- renewal of such participant’s employment or service agreement other than for cause), our board of directors may determine at its discretion whether unvested awards shall be deemed vested. Exercise Price. The exercise price for each share pursuant to the initial options granted under the 2005 Option Scheme was a price determined by our board of directors at the date of grant, and for grants made thereafter, the exercise price was the Market Value of a share at the date of grant (as defined in our Option Schemes). The exercise price for each share pursuant to the options granted under the 2015 Option Scheme must be the Market Value of a share at the date of grant (as defined in our Option Schemes). Non-transferability of Awards. Awards may not be transferred except in the case of a participant’s death by the terms of each Scheme. Takeover or Scheme of Arrangement. In the event of a general or partial offer for the shares of our company under our Option Schemes, whether by way of takeover, offer, share repurchase offer, or scheme of arrangement, the affected company is required to use all reasonable endeavors to procure that such offer is extended to all holders of options granted by such company on the same terms as those applying to shareholders. Both vested and unvested options may be exercised up until (i) the closing date of any such offer and (ii) the record date for entitlements under a scheme of arrangement, and will lapse thereafter. Certain options may also be exercised on a voluntary winding up of our company. Under our LTIP, in the event of a general offer for all the shares of our company, whether by way of takeover or scheme of arrangement, or if our company is to be voluntarily wound up, our board of directors shall determine in its discretion whether outstanding unvested awards will vest and the period within which such awards will vest. Amendment. Our Option Schemes require that amendments of a material nature only be made with the approval of our shareholders. Our board of directors may alter the terms of our LTIP, but amendments which are of a material nature cannot take effect without shareholders’ approval, unless the changes take effect automatically under the terms of our LTIP. Authorized Shares. Under our 2015 Option Scheme, our board of directors may “refresh” the scheme limit from time to time provided that the total number of shares which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under our Option Schemes shall not exceed 10% of our total shares outstanding on such date. In addition, the limit on the number of shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted and not yet exercised under the 2015 Option Scheme and any options granted and not yet exercised under any other schemes must not exceed 10% of the outstanding shares of the company in issue from time to time. In April 2020, our shareholders approved a refresh of the 2015 Option Scheme. Following the 2015 Option Scheme refresh discussed above, subject to certain adjustments for share splits, share consolidations and other changes in capitalization, the maximum number of shares that may be issued upon exercise of all options granted may not in the aggregate exceed 5% of our shares outstanding on April 27, 2020. Share awards under our LTIP may not exceed 5% of our shares outstanding on the adoption date of our LTIP. Outstanding Awards and Grants of Awards Share options outstanding under the 2005 Option Scheme 203 The 2005 Option Scheme expired in 2016, and no further share options can be granted under it. As of December 31, 2021, options to purchase an aggregate of 705,060 ordinary shares, representing approximately 0.1% of our outstanding share capital, with an exercise price of £0.61 ($0.81) per ordinary share and an expiration date of December 19, 2023 remained outstanding under the 2005 Option Scheme. Share options outstanding and grants made in 2021 under the 2015 Option Scheme As of December 31, 2021, options to purchase an aggregate of 36,485,530 ordinary shares, representing approximately 4.2% of our outstanding share capital, at a weighted average exercise price of £3.72 ($4.95) per ordinary share and an expiration date of 10 years from the respective date of grant remained outstanding under the 2015 Option Scheme. In the year ended December 31, 2021, we granted options to purchase an aggregate of 10,174,840 ordinary shares, representing approximately 1.2% of our outstanding share capital, at a weighted average exercise price of £4.47 ($5.96) per share under the 2015 Option Scheme. Such options vest in equal instalments of 25% over a four-year period. Grants and vesting of LTIPs In the year ended December 31, 2021, we granted performance based awards under our LTIP to three of our executive officers and 704 employees, giving them a conditional right to receive ordinary shares to be purchased by the third-party trustee up to an aggregate maximum cash amount of $64,590,505. These awards are related to the achievement of performance targets and will vest two business days after the date of the announcement of our annual results for the financial year 2023. For additional information on LTIP awards held by our executive officers, please see “B. Compensation—Executive Officer Compensation—Long-Term Incentive Compensation.” In the year ended December 31, 2021, we also granted non-performance based awards under our LTIP to each of our seven directors and five employees, giving them a conditional right to receive ordinary shares to be purchased by the third-party trustee up to an aggregate maximum cash amount of $2,453,077. The LTIP awards to our directors vest in equal installments of 25% over four years, $603,077 of the LTIP awards to employees vest over a four-year period and $100,000 of the LTIP awards to an employee vest one year after grant. For additional information on LTIP awards to our directors, please see “B. Compensation—Director Compensation.” Vesting of our LTIP awards will also depend upon the award holder’s continued employment or continued service on our board, as the case may be. In the year ended December 31, 2021, an aggregate of 143,510 ordinary shares and 5,995 ADSs were given to award holders upon the vesting of performance based LTIP awards, and 16,015 ordinary shares and 17,809 ADSs were given to award holders upon the vesting of non-performance based LTIP awards. C. Board Practices. Our board of directors consists of ten directors including four executive directors, two non-executive directors and four independent non-executive directors. Pursuant to a relationship agreement dated April 21, 2006, and amended and restated on June 13, 2019, by and between our company and Hutchison Whampoa (China) Limited, a parent company of Hutchison Healthcare Holdings Limited, or the Relationship Agreement, our board of directors must consist of at least one director who is independent of the CK Hutchison group if Hutchison Whampoa (China) Limited is entitled to cast at least 50% votes eligible to be cast on a poll vote at a general meeting of our company. The Relationship Agreement will continue in effect until our ordinary shares cease to be traded on the AIM market or the CK Hutchison group individually or collectively ceases to hold at least 30% of our shares. Our directors are subject to a three-year term of office and hold office until such time as they wish to retire and not offer themselves up for re-election, are not re-elected by the shareholders, or are removed from office by ordinary resolution at an annual general meeting of the shareholders. Under our Articles of Association, a director will be vacated if, among other things, the director (i) becomes bankrupt or has a receiving order made against him or suspends payment or compounds with his creditors; or (ii) becomes of unsound mind. For information regarding the period during which our officers and directors have served in their respective positions, please see Item 6.A. “Directors and Senior Management.” 204 Our board of directors has established an audit committee, remuneration committee, technical committee, nomination committee Board Committees and sustainability committee. Audit Committee Our audit committee consists of Graeme Allan Jack, Paul Rutherford Carter and Karen Jean Ferrante, with Graeme Allan Jack serving as chairman of the committee. Graeme Allan Jack, Paul Rutherford Carter and Karen Jean Ferrante each meets the independence requirements under the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market and under Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. We have determined that Graeme Allan Jack is an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of Item 407 of Regulation S-K. All members of our audit committee meet the requirements for financial literacy under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the Nasdaq Stock Market. Although we are a foreign private issuer, we are required to comply with Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act, relating to audit committee composition and responsibilities. Rule 10A-3 provides that the audit committee must have direct responsibility for the nomination, compensation and choice of our auditor, as well as control over the performance of their duties, management of complaints made, and selection of consultants. Under Rule 10A-3, if the governing law or documents of a listed issuer require that any such matter be approved by the board of directors or the shareholders of the company, the audit committee’s responsibilities or powers with respect to such matter may instead be advisory. Our Articles of Association provide that the appointment of our auditor must be decided by our shareholders at our annual general meeting or at a subsequent extraordinary general meeting in each year. The audit committee formally meets at least twice a year and otherwise as required. The audit committee’s purpose is to oversee our accounting and financial reporting process and the audit of our financial statements. Our audit committee’s primary duties and responsibilities are to:  monitor the integrity of our financial statements, our annual and half-year reports and accounts and our announcements of interim or final results;     provide advice, where requested by the board of directors, on whether the annual report and accounts, taken as a whole, are fair, balanced and understandable, and provide the information necessary for shareholders to assess our company’s position and performance, business model and strategy; review significant financial reporting issues and the judgments which they contain; review, whenever practicable without being inconsistent with any requirement for prompt reporting under applicable listing rules, other statements containing financial information such as significant financial returns to regulators and release of price sensitive information first where board of director approval is required; and review and challenge where necessary:   the consistency of, and any changes to, accounting policies both on a year-on-year basis and across our company; the methods used to account for significant or unusual transactions where different approaches are possible;  whether our company has followed appropriate accounting standards and made appropriate estimates and judgments, taking into account the views of the external auditor;   the clarity of the disclosure in our financial reports and the context in which statements are made; and all material information presented with the financial statements, such as any operations and financial review and any corporate governance statements (insofar as it relates to the audit and risk management). 205 In relation to our internal controls and risk management systems, our audit committee, among other things:       reviews the effectiveness of our internal control and risk management systems; reviews the policies and procedures for the identification, assessment and reporting of financial and non-financial risks and our management of those risks in accordance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other applicable laws, rules and regulations and the applicable requirements of any stock exchange; approves the appointment and removal of the head of the internal audit function; ensures our internal audit function has adequate standing and resources and is free from management or other restrictions; reviews and monitors our executive management’s responsiveness to the findings and recommendations of the internal audit function; and reviews with management and our independent auditors the adequacy and effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. In relation to our external auditor, our audit committee, among other things:      recommends the appointment, reappointment or removal of the external auditor and considers any issues relating to their resignation, dismissal, remuneration or terms of engagement, subject to approval by the shareholders; considers and monitors the external auditor’s independence, objectivity and effectiveness; reviews and monitors the effectiveness of the audit process, considering relevant ethical or professional requirements; develops and implements policy on the engagement of the external auditor to provide non-audit services, taking into any relevant ethical guidance; and pre-approves the external auditors’ annual audit fees and the nature and scope of proposed audit coverage, subject to approval by our shareholders. The audit committee is authorized to obtain, at our company’s expense, reasonable outside legal or other professional advice on any matters within the scope of its responsibilities. Remuneration Committee Our remuneration committee consists of Paul Rutherford Carter, Graeme Allan Jack and Chi Keung To, Simon, with Paul Rutherford Carter serving as chairman of the committee. The remuneration committee is responsible for considering all material elements of remuneration policy and remuneration and incentives of our executive directors and key employees with reference to independent remuneration research and professional advice. The remuneration committee meets formally at least once each year and otherwise as required and make recommendations to our board of directors on the framework for executive remuneration and on proposals for the granting of share options and other equity incentives. Our board of directors is responsible for implementing these recommendations and agreeing the remuneration packages of individual directors. No director is permitted to participate in discussions or decisions concerning his or her own remuneration. Technical Committee Our technical committee consists of Karen Jean Ferrante, Paul Rutherford Carter, Chi Keung To, Simon, Christian Lawrence Hogg, Weiguo Su and Shu Kam Mok, Tony, with Karen Jean Ferrante serving as chairman of the committee. The technical committee’s responsibility is to consider, from time to time, matters relating to the technical aspects of the research and development activities of our Oncology/Immunology operations. It invites such executives as it deems appropriate to participate in meetings from time to time. 206 Nomination Committee Our nomination committee consists of Shu Kam Mok, Tony, Graeme Allan Jack and Chi Keung To, Simon, with Shu Kam Mok, Tony serving as chairman of the committee. Our nomination committee reviews the structure, size, diversity profile and skills set of the board against its needs and makes recommendations on the composition of the board to achieve our corporate strategy as well as promote shareholder value. It facilitates the board in the conduct of the selection and nomination of directors, makes recommendations to the board on the appointment or reappointment of directors and succession planning for directors. It also assesses director independence having regard to the criteria under the applicable corporate governance code, SEC or stock exchange rules. Sustainability Committee Our sustainability committee consists of Edith Shih, Christian Lawrence Hogg, Chig Fung Cheng, Johnny and Shu Kam Mok, Tony, with Edith Shih serving as chairman of the committee. The sustainability committee is responsible for strengthening our corporate governance and reporting framework. It advises our board of directors and management on and oversees the development and implementation of our corporate social responsibility and sustainability initiatives, including reviewing related policies and practices as well as assessing and making recommendations on matters pertaining to our sustainability governance, strategies, planning and risk management. U.K. Corporate Governance Code The U.K. Corporate Governance Code 2018 published by the U.K. Financial Reporting Council, or the 2018 Code, is the primary source of corporate governance standards for all companies with a premium listing on the Official List of the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority, whether incorporated in the United Kingdom or elsewhere, and it is recognized as a best practice for the largest companies by market capitalization on the AIM market. The 2018 Code is comprised of main and supporting principles of good governance addressing the following areas: (i) board leadership and company purpose; (ii) division of responsibilities; (iii) board composition, succession and evaluation; (iv) audit, risk and internal control; and (v) remuneration. Together with the U.K. Financial Reporting Council’s Guidance on Board Effectiveness (published in July 2018), it also includes detailed recommendations derived from these principles, such as the roles of board chairman and chief executive officer should not be exercised by the same individual and the chairman of the board should ensure that new directors receive a full, formal and tailored induction on joining the board. The 2018 Code applies to accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. We adopted the principles of the UK Corporate Governance Code applicable to companies listed on the premium segment of the London Stock Exchange main market, despite its shares being traded on the AIM market and hence not required to comply with the UK Corporate Governance Code until our listing on the SEHK on June 30, 2021. Hong Kong Corporate Governance Code Following the listing on the SEHK on June 30, 2021, our board of directors has adopted the Corporate Governance Code (“Hong Kong Corporate Governance Code”) contained in Appendix 14 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on SEHK in replacement of the U.K. Corporate Governance Code 2018 and is in compliance with all code provisions of the Hong Kong Corporate Governance Code.

Information Security Policy Our board of directors has adopted an information security policy to define and help communicate the common policies for information confidentiality, integrity and availability to be applied to us and our joint ventures. The purpose of the information security policy is to ensure business continuity by preventing and minimizing the impact of security risks within our company and our joint ventures. Our information security policy applies to all of our and our joint ventures’ business entities across all countries. It applies to the creation, communication, storage, transmission and destruction of all different types of information. It applies to all forms of information, including but not limited to electronic copies, hardcopy, and verbal disclosures whether in person, over the telephone, or by other means. Code on Dealings in Shares Our board of directors has adopted a policy on the handling of material inside information, consisting of information which is either “inside information” under the EU Market Abuse Regulation (Regulation (EU) 596/2014), or MAR, or “material non-public information” under U.S. law. This policy, among other things, prohibits any employees, directors, other persons discharging managerial responsibilities or their connected persons dealing in our securities or their derivatives, or those of our collaborators, business partners, suppliers and customers, while in possession of material inside information. Certain members of our senior management or staff, including persons discharging managerial responsibilities, and their connected persons are subject to additional compliance requirements which are outlined in the code (including but not limited to obtaining written pre-clearance from designated members of management prior to any dealing in any such securities is allowed). Board Diversity Policy Our board of directors has established a board diversity policy as our board of directors recognizes the benefits of a board of directors that possesses a balance of skills, experience, expertise, independence and knowledge and diversity of perspectives appropriate to the requirements of our businesses. We maintain that appointment to our board of directors should be based on merit that complements and expands the skills, experience, expertise, independence and knowledge of the board of directors as a whole, taking into account gender, age, professional experience and qualifications, cultural and educational background, and any other factors that our board of directors might consider relevant and applicable from time to time towards achieving a diverse board of directors.

Letters of awareness with respect to loans Relationship with CK Hutchison CK Hutchison has provided letters of awareness to certain of our lenders stating that it is aware that loan facilities have been provided to us and that its current intention is that for so long as amounts are outstanding under such loan facilities, it will not reduce its direct or indirect shareholding as to result in it ceasing to be the single largest indirect shareholder of our company. Relationship Agreement with the CK Hutchison group We entered into a relationship agreement dated April 21, 2006, which was amended and restated on June 13, 2019 with effect from June 3, 2015, with Hutchison Whampoa (China) Limited, which is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of CK Hutchison, with a view to ensuring that our company is capable of carrying on its business independent of the CK Hutchison group. We refer to this agreement as the Relationship Agreement. The Relationship Agreement provides, among other things, that all transactions between any of us or our joint ventures, on the one hand, and the CK Hutchison group, on the other, will be on an arm’s length basis, on normal commercial terms and in a manner consistent with the AIM Rules. The Relationship Agreement further provides that the approval of our board of directors shall be required for any transaction between any of us or our joint ventures, on one hand, and the CK Hutchison group, on the other hand and that in approving any such transaction, our board of directors must consist of at least one director who is independent of CK Hutchison. Our board of directors must consist of at least one director who is independent of the CK Hutchison group if Hutchison Whampoa (China) Limited is entitled to cast at least 50% votes eligible to be cast on a poll vote at a general meeting of our company, see Item 6.C. “Directors, Senior Management and Employees—Board Practices.” Hutchison Whampoa (China) Limited has also agreed to procure that each member of the Hutchison Whampoa (China) Limited group will not exercise its voting rights and powers so as to amend our Memorandum or Articles of Association in a manner which is inconsistent with the Relationship Agreement. The Relationship Agreement will continue to be effective until the first to occur of: (i) our shares ceasing to be traded on the AIM market or; (ii) the CK Hutchison group individually or collectively cease to hold or control the exercise of at least 30% or more of the rights to vote at our general meetings. 211 Products sold to group companies of CK Hutchison We have entered into agreements with members of the CK Hutchison group, including the retail grocery and pharmacy chains PARKnSHOP and Watsons which are owned and operated by the A.S. Watson Group, an indirect subsidiary of CK Hutchison, in respect of the distribution of certain of our consumer health products. For the year ended December 31, 2021, sales of our products to members of the CK Hutchison group amounted to $4.3 million. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2021, we paid approximately $0.4 million to members of the CK Hutchison group for the provision of marketing services associated with these products. Our sales to CK Hutchison group companies are made pursuant to purchase orders issued by each purchaser periodically, the terms of which are on an arm’s length basis on normal commercial terms. See Item 3.D. “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Dependence on Third Parties—There is no assurance that the benefits currently enjoyed by virtue of our association with CK Hutchison will continue to be available” for more information on the risks associated with our relationship with CK Hutchison’s group companies. Intellectual property licensed by the CK Hutchison group We conduct our business using trademarks with various forms of the “Hutchison,” “Chi-Med”, “Hutchison China MediTech”, “HUTCHMED”, “Elunate” and “Sulanda” brands, the logos used by HUTCHMED Limited, as well as domain names incorporating some or all of these trademarks. We have entered into a brand license agreement dated April 21, 2006 (as amended and restated on June 13, 2019 with effect from June 3, 2015 and as further amended and restated on June 15, 2021 with effect from March 4, 2021) with Hutchison Whampoa Enterprises Limited, which is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of CK Hutchison, pursuant to which we have been granted a non-exclusive, non-transferrable, royalty-free right to use the “Hutchison,” “Hutchison China MediTech”, “Chi-Med”, “HUTCHMED” trademarks, domain names and other intellectual property rights owned by the CK Hutchison group in connection with the operation of our business worldwide. We refer to this amended and restated agreement as the Brand License Agreement. We are also permitted to sub-license such intellectual property rights to our affiliates. The Brand License Agreement contains provisions on quality control pursuant to which we are obliged to use the brands and related materials in compliance with the brand guidelines, industry best practice and other quality directives issued by Hutchison Whampoa Enterprises Limited from time to time. Under this agreement, we assign all intellectual property rights, including future copyrights in any works incorporating brand-related material or translations thereof, to Hutchison Whampoa Enterprises Limited (subject to any third- party rights). Hutchison Whampoa Enterprises Limited may terminate the Brand License Agreement (or any sub-license) if, among other things, we commit a material breach of the agreement, or within any twelve-month period aggregate direct or indirect shareholding in our company held by CK Hutchison , our indirect shareholder, is reduced to less than 35%, 30% or 20%. On termination of the Brand License Agreement, we (and any sub-licensees) must immediately cease using the brands and are obliged to withdraw from the sale of any products bearing the brands; provided that if the agreement is terminated following a change in CK Hutchison’s aggregate direct or indirect shareholding in our company, we will have a six-month transitional period during which we can continue to use the licensed rights. On June 15, 2021, we entered into a brand license royalty agreement with Hutchison Whampoa Enterprises Limited, pursuant to which we will pay an annual fee of HK$12 million (up to an aggregate royalty payable of no more than HK$120 million) in consideration of the grant of the royalty-free right to use the trademarks owned by Hutchison Whampoa Enterprises Limited to Hutchison Baiyunshan and HBYS JV companies upon the completion of the disposal of shareholding interest in Hutchison Baiyunshan. 212 Sharing of services with the CK Hutchison group Pursuant to an amended and restated services agreement dated January 1, 2016 between us and Hutchison Whampoa (China) Limited, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of CK Hutchison, we share certain services with and receive operational support from the CK Hutchison group including, among others, legal and regulatory services, company secretarial support services, tax and internal audit services, shared use of accounting software system and related services, participation in the CK Hutchison group’s pension, medical and insurance plans, participation in the CK Hutchison group’s procurement projects with third-party vendors/suppliers, other staff benefits and staff training services, company functions and activities and operation advisory and support services. We refer to this amended and restated agreement as the Services Agreement. The Services Agreement replaces our prior services agreement with Hutchison Whampoa (China) Limited, dated April 21, 2006, which had substantially similar terms. We pay a management fee to Hutchison Whampoa (China) Limited for the provision of such services. In addition, we make payments under the Services Agreement to Hutchison Whampoa (China) Limited for our executive offices in Hong Kong. Furthermore, pursuant to the terms of the Services Agreement, Hutchison Whampoa (China) Limited charges us management fees and other costs through Hutchison Healthcare Holdings Limited, its wholly owned subsidiary. The Services Agreement may be terminated by either party by giving three months’ written notice. Hutchison Whampoa (China) Limited may also immediately terminate if its shareholding in our company falls below 30%. The services provided under the Services Agreement are provided on an arm’s length basis, on normal commercial terms. Any amount unpaid after 30 days accrues interest at the rate of 1.5% per annum. In the year ended December 31, 2021, we paid a management fee of approximately $1.0 million under the Services Agreement. As of December 31, 2021, we had $0.4 million in unpaid fees outstanding to Hutchison Whampoa (China) Limited.

From time to time we become subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of our business, including claims of alleged infringement of patents and other intellectual property rights. Such legal proceedings or claims, even if not meritorious, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and management resources. A.8 Dividend Policy. We have never declared or paid dividends on our ordinary shares. We currently expect to retain all future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business and do not have any present plan to pay any dividends. The declaration and payment of any dividends in the future will be determined by our board of directors in its discretion, and will depend on a number of factors, including our earnings, capital requirements, overall financial condition, and contractual restrictions.

Except as otherwise disclosed in this annual report (including the exhibits hereto), we are not currently, and have not been in the last two years, party to any material contract, other than contracts entered into in the ordinary course of our business. 214 D. Exchange Controls. Foreign currency exchange in the PRC is primarily governed by the Foreign Exchange Administration Rules issued by the State Council on January 29, 1996 and effective as of April 1, 1996 (and amended on January 14, 1997 and August 5, 2008) and the Regulations of Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange which came into effect on July 1, 1996. Under the Foreign Exchange Administration Rules, renminbi is freely convertible for current account items, including the distribution of dividends payments, interest payments, and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions. Conversion of renminbi for capital account items, such as direct investment, loans, securities investment and repatriation of investment, however, is still generally subject to the approval or verification of the SAFE. Under the Regulations of Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange, foreign invested enterprises including wholly foreign owned enterprises, may buy, sell or remit foreign currencies only at those banks that are authorized to conduct foreign exchange business after providing such banks with valid commercial supporting documents and, in the case of capital account item transactions, after obtaining approvals from the SAFE. Capital investments by foreign invested enterprises outside the PRC are also subject to limitations, which include approvals by the MOFCOM, the SAFE and the NDRC. In March 2015, the SAFE released the Circular on Reforming the Management Approach regarding the Foreign Exchange Capital Settlement of Foreign-invested Enterprises, or FIEs, or the Foreign Exchange Capital Settlement Circular, which became effective from June 1, 2015. This circular replaced the SAFE’s previous related circulars, including the Circular on Issues Relating to the Improvement of Business Operation with Respect to the Administration of Foreign Exchange Capital Payment and Settlement of Foreign Invested Enterprises. The Foreign Exchange Capital Settlement Circular clarifies that FIEs may settle a specified proportion of their foreign exchange capital in banks at their discretion, and may choose the timing for such settlement. The proportion of foreign exchange capital to be settled at FIEs’ discretion for the time being is 100% and the SAFE may adjust the proportion in due time based on the situation of international balance of payments. The circular also stipulates that FIEs’ usage of capital and settled foreign exchange capital shall comply with relevant provisions concerning foreign exchange control and be subject to the management of a negative list. The Notice of the SAFE on Policies for Reforming and Regulating Control over Foreign Exchange Settlement under the Capital Account, which became effective from June 9, 2016 and supplements the Foreign Exchange Capital Settlement Circular, stipulates that the FIEs’ capital and Renminbi capital gained from the settlement of foreign exchange capital may not be directly or indirectly used for expenditure beyond the business scope of the FIEs or as prohibited by laws and regulations of the PRC. Such capital also may not be directly or indirectly used for granting loans to non-affiliated enterprises except as permitted by the business scope of the FIE or for construction or purchase of real estate other than self-use (exceptions only apply for real estate enterprises). In addition, the payment of dividends by entities established in the PRC is subject to limitations. Regulations in the PRC currently permit payment of dividends only out of accumulated profits as determined in accordance with accounting standards and regulations in the PRC. Each of our PRC subsidiaries that is a domestic company is also required to set aside at least 10.0% of its after-tax profit based on PRC accounting standards each year to its general reserves or statutory capital reserve fund until the accumulative amount of such reserves reach 50.0% of its respective registered capital. These restricted reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. In addition, if any of our PRC subsidiaries or joint ventures incurs debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to us. For more information about foreign exchange control, see Item 3.D. “Risk Factors—Other Risks and Risks Relating to Doing Business in China—Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to receive and use our revenue effectively.” E. Taxation. The following is a general summary of certain PRC, Hong Kong, Cayman Islands and U.S. federal income tax consequences relevant to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our ADSs. The discussion is not intended to be, nor should it be construed as, legal or tax advice to any particular individual. The discussion is based on laws and relevant interpretations thereof in effect as of March 1, 2022, 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 PRC, Hong Kong, the Cayman Islands and the United States. You should consult your own tax advisors with respect to the consequences of acquisition, ownership and disposition of our ADSs and ordinary shares. 215 PRC Enterprise Income Tax Taxation in the PRC Under the EIT Law, which was promulgated on March 16, 2007 and subsequently amended on February 24, 2017 and December 29, 2018, and its implementation rules which became effective on January 1, 2008 and subsequently amended on April 23, 2019, the standard tax rate of 25% applies to all enterprises (including FIEs) with exceptions in special situations if relevant criteria are met and subject to the approval of the PRC tax authorities. An enterprise incorporated outside of the PRC whose “de facto management bodies” are located in the PRC is considered a “resident enterprise” and will be subject to a uniform EIT rate of 25% on its global income. In April 2009, the SAT, in Circular 82, specified certain criteria for the determination of what constitutes “de facto management bodies.” If all of these criteria are met, the relevant foreign enterprise will be deemed to have its “de facto management bodies” located in the PRC and therefore be considered a resident enterprise in the PRC. These criteria include: (a) the enterprise’s day-to-day operational management is primarily exercised in the PRC; (b) decisions relating to the enterprise’s financial and human resource matters are made or subject to approval by organizations or personnel in the PRC; (c) the enterprise’s primary assets, accounting books and records, company seals, and board and shareholders’ meeting minutes are located or maintained in the PRC; and (d) 50% or more of voting board members or senior executives of the enterprise habitually reside in the PRC. Although Circular 82 only applies to foreign enterprises that are majority-owned and controlled by PRC enterprises, not those owned and controlled by foreign enterprises or individuals, the determining criteria set forth in Circular 82 may be adopted by the PRC tax authorities as the test for determining whether the enterprises are PRC tax residents, regardless of whether they are majority-owned and controlled by PRC enterprises. However, it is not entirely clear how the PRC tax authorities will determine whether a non-PRC entity (that has not already been notified of its status for EIT purposes) will be classified as a “resident enterprise” in practice. Except for our PRC subsidiaries and joint ventures incorporated in China, we believe that none of our entities incorporated outside of China is a PRC resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes. However, the tax resident status of an enterprise is subject to determination by the PRC tax authorities, and uncertainties remain with respect to the interpretation of the term “de facto management body.” If a non-PRC enterprise is classified as a “resident enterprise” for EIT purposes, any dividends to be distributed by that enterprise to non-PRC resident shareholders or ADS holders or any gains realized by such investors from the transfer of shares or ADSs may be subject to PRC tax. If the PRC tax authorities determine that we should be considered a PRC resident enterprise for EIT purposes, any dividends payable by us to our non-PRC resident enterprise shareholders or ADS holders, as well as gains realized by such investors from the transfer of our shares or ADSs may be subject to a 10% withholding tax, unless a reduced rate is available under an applicable tax treaty. Furthermore, if we are considered a PRC resident enterprise for EIT purposes, it is unclear whether our non-PRC individual shareholders (including our ADS holders) would be subject to any PRC tax on dividends or gains obtained by such non-PRC individual shareholders. If any PRC tax were to apply to dividends realized by non-PRC individuals, it would generally apply at a rate of up to 20% unless a reduced rate is available under an applicable tax treaty. According to the EIT Law, dividends declared after January 1, 2008 and paid by PRC FIEs to their non-PRC parent companies will be subject to PRC withholding tax at 10% unless there is a tax treaty between the PRC and the jurisdiction in which the overseas parent company is a tax resident and which specifically exempts or reduces such withholding tax, and such tax exemption or reduction is approved by the relevant PRC tax authorities. Pursuant to the Arrangement, if the non-PRC immediate holding company is a Hong Kong tax resident and directly holds a 25% or more equity interest in the PRC enterprise and is considered to be the beneficial owner of dividends paid by the PRC enterprise, such withholding tax rate may be lowered to 5%, subject to approval by the relevant PRC tax authorities in accordance with relevant tax regulations upon the assessment of beneficial ownership. 216 Cayman Islands Taxation Overview of Tax Implications of Various Other Jurisdictions According to our Cayman Islands counsel, Conyers Dill & Pearman, 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. 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 brought within the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands. The Cayman Islands is a party to a double tax treaty entered into with the United Kingdom in 2010 but it is otherwise not a 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. Pursuant to the Tax Concessions Act of the Cayman Islands, HUTCHMED (China) Limited has obtained an undertaking: (a) that no law which is enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits or income or gains or appreciations shall apply to us or our operations; and (b) that the aforesaid tax or any tax in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax shall not be payable (i) on its shares, debentures or other obligations or (ii) by way of the withholding in whole or in part of any relevant payment as defined in the Tax Concessions Act. The undertaking is for a period of twenty years from December 31, 2020. Hong Kong Taxation Profits Tax HUTCHMED (China) Limited is a Hong Kong tax resident. Hong Kong tax residents are subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax in respect of profits arising in or derived from Hong Kong at the current rate of 16.5% (except portions eligible for the two-tiered profits tax as discussed above). Dividend income earned by a Hong Kong tax resident is generally not subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax. Hong Kong tax on shareholders and ADS holders No tax is payable in Hong Kong in respect of dividends paid by a Hong Kong tax resident to their shareholders, including our ADS holders. Hong Kong Profits Tax will not be payable by our shareholders, including our ADS holders (other than shareholders / ADS holders carrying on a trade, profession or business in Hong Kong and holding the shares / ADSs for trading purposes), on any capital gains made on the sale or other disposal of the shares or ADSs. Shareholders, including our ADS holders, should take advice from their own professional advisors as to their particular tax position. U.S. Taxation Corporate Tax Our subsidiaries in the United States, HUTCHMED International Corporation (formerly Hutchison MediPharma International Inc. Our subsidiaries in the United States, HUTCHMED International Corporation (formerly Hutchison MediPharma International Inc. and Hutchison MediPharma (US), Inc) and HUTCHMED US Corporation, are subject to a federal corporate tax of 21%. and Hutchison MediPharma (US) Inc) and HUTCHMED US Corporation, are subject to a federal corporate tax of 21%. Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations with Respect to Ordinary Shares and ADSs The following summary, subject to the limitations set forth below, describes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences for a U.S. Holder (as defined below) of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of ordinary shares and ADSs. It is not a comprehensive description of all tax considerations that may be relevant to a particular person’s decision to acquire securities. This discussion is limited to U.S. Holders who hold such ordinary shares or ADSs as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, for tax purposes (generally, property held for investment). For the purposes of this summary, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of an ordinary share or ADS that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:  a citizen or individual resident of the United States; 217    a corporation (or any other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, or the District of Columbia; an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or a trust if (i) it has a valid election in effect to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (ii) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of its substantial decisions. Except as explicitly set forth below, this summary does not address aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be applicable to U.S. Holders subject to special rules, including:          banks or other financial institutions; insurance companies; real estate investment trusts; regulated investment companies; grantor trusts; tax-exempt organizations; persons holding our ordinary shares or ADSs through a partnership (including an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or S corporation; dealers or traders in securities, commodities or currencies; persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;  U.S. expatriates and certain former citizens or former long-term residents of the United States;    persons required under Section 451(b) of the Code to conform to the timing of income accruals with respect to our ADSs or the ordinary shares represented by such ADSs; persons holding our ordinary shares or ADSs as part of a position in a straddle or as part of a hedging, conversion or integrated transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes; or direct, indirect or constructive owners of 10% or more of our equity (by vote or value). In addition, this summary does not address the U.S. federal estate and gift tax or the alternative minimum tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of our ordinary shares or ADSs. We have not received nor do we expect to seek a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, regarding any matter discussed herein. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of those set forth below. Each prospective investor should consult its own tax advisors with respect to the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of our ordinary shares and ADSs. This discussion is based on the Code, U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, and the income tax treaty between the PRC and the United States, or the U.S.- PRC Tax Treaty, each as available and in effect on the date hereof, all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly with retroactive effect, which could affect the tax consequences described herein. In addition, this summary assumes representations made by the depositary to us in the deposit agreement are true and assumes that the deposit agreement, and all other related agreements, will be performed in accordance with their terms. 218 If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our ordinary shares or ADSs, the tax treatment of the partnership and a partner in such partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Such partner or partnership should consult its own tax advisors as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of our ordinary shares or ADSs. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS WITH REGARD TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES APPLICABLE TO THEIR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS THE APPLICATION OF ANY U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, NON-U.S. OR OTHER TAX LAWS, INCLUDING GIFT AND ESTATE TAX LAWS. ADSs A U.S. Holder of ADSs will generally be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as the owner of the underlying ordinary shares that such ADSs represent. Accordingly, no gain or loss will be recognized if a U.S. Holder exchanges ADSs for the underlying shares represented by those ADSs. The U.S. Treasury has expressed concern that parties to whom ADSs are released before shares are delivered to the depositary or intermediaries in the chain of ownership between holders and the issuer of the security underlying the ADSs, may be taking actions that are inconsistent with the claiming of foreign tax credits by U.S. Holders of ADSs. These actions would also be inconsistent with the claiming of the reduced rate of tax, described below, applicable to dividends received by certain non-corporate U.S. Holders. Accordingly, the creditability of non-U.S. withholding taxes (if any), and the availability of the reduced tax rate for dividends received by certain non-corporate U.S. Holders, each described below, could be affected by actions taken by such parties or intermediaries. For the purposes of the discussion below, we assume that intermediaries in the chain of ownership between the holder of an ADS and us are acting consistently with the claim of U.S. foreign tax credits by U.S. Holders. 219 Taxation of Dividends As described in “Dividend Policy” above, we do not currently anticipate paying any distributions on our ordinary shares or ADSs in the foreseeable future. However, to the extent there are any distributions made with respect to our ordinary shares or ADSs, and subject to the discussion under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations” below, the gross amount of any such distribution (including withheld taxes, if any) made out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) will generally be taxable to a U.S. Holder as ordinary dividend income on the date such distribution is actually or constructively received. 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 the ordinary shares or ADSs, as applicable, and thereafter as capital gain. However, because we do not maintain calculations of our earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax accounting principles, U.S. Holders should expect to treat distributions paid with respect to our ordinary shares and ADSs as dividends. Dividends paid to corporate U.S. Holders generally will not qualify for the dividends received deduction that may otherwise be allowed under the Code. This discussion assumes that distributions made by us, if any, will be paid in U.S. dollars. Dividends paid to a non-corporate U.S. Holder by a “qualified foreign corporation” may be subject to reduced rates of U.S. federal income taxation if certain holding period and other requirements are met. A qualified foreign corporation generally includes a foreign corporation (other than a PFIC) if (1) its ordinary shares (or ADSs backed by ordinary shares) are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States or (2) it is eligible for benefits under a comprehensive U.S. income tax treaty that includes an exchange of information program and which the U.S. Treasury Department has determined is satisfactory for these purposes. IRS guidance indicates that our ADSs (which are listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market) are readily tradable for purposes of satisfying the conditions required for these reduced tax rates. We do not expect, however, that our ordinary shares will be listed on an established securities market in the United States and therefore do not believe that any dividends paid on our ordinary shares that are not represented by ADSs currently meet the conditions required for these reduced tax rates. There can be no assurance that our ADSs will be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in subsequent years. The United States does not have a comprehensive income tax treaty with the Cayman Islands. However, in the event that we were deemed to be a PRC resident enterprise under the EIT Law (see “—Taxation in the PRC” above), although no assurance can be given, we might be considered eligible for the benefits of the U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty for the purposes of these rules. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of the reduced tax rates on dividends paid with respect to our ordinary shares or ADSs in light of their particular circumstances. Non-corporate U.S. Holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of U.S. federal income taxation on any dividends received from us if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year unless, under certain circumstances, the “deemed sale election” described below under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations—Status as a PFIC” has been made. In the event that we were deemed to be a PRC resident enterprise under the EIT Law (see “—Taxation in the PRC” above), U.S. Holders might be subject to PRC withholding taxes on dividends paid by us. In that case, subject to certain conditions and limitations, such PRC withholding tax may be treated as a foreign tax eligible for credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability under the U.S. foreign tax credit rules. For the purposes of calculating the U.S. foreign tax credit, dividends paid on our ordinary shares or ADSs, will be treated as income from sources outside the United States and will generally constitute passive category income. If a U.S. Holder is eligible for U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty benefits, any PRC taxes on dividends will not be creditable against such U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability to the extent such tax is withheld at a rate exceeding the applicable U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty rate. An eligible U.S. Holder who does not elect to claim a foreign tax credit for PRC tax withheld may instead be eligible to claim a deduction, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in respect of such withholding but only for the year in which such U.S. Holder elects to do so for all creditable foreign income taxes. The U.S. foreign tax credit rules are complex. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the foreign tax credit rules in light of their particular circumstances. 220 Taxation of Capital Gains Subject to the discussion below in “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations,” upon the sale, exchange, or other taxable disposition of our ordinary shares or ADSs, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized on such sale or exchange (determined in the case of sales or exchanges in currencies other than U.S. dollars by reference to the spot exchange rate in effect on the date of the sale or exchange or, if sold or exchanged on an established securities market and the U.S. Holder is a cash basis taxpayer or an electing accrual basis taxpayer, the spot exchange rate in effect on the settlement date) and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such ordinary shares or ADSs determined in U.S. dollars. A U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis will be the U.S. Holder’s U.S. dollar purchase price for such ordinary shares or ADSs. Assuming we are not a PFIC and have not been treated as a PFIC during the U.S. Holder’s holding period for its ordinary shares or ADSs, such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss. Under current law, capital gains of non-corporate U.S. Holders derived with respect to capital assets held for more than one year are generally eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Capital gain or loss, if any, recognized by a U.S. Holder generally will be treated as U.S. source income or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. U.S. Holders are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of the U.S. foreign tax credit in consideration of their particular circumstances. If we were treated as a PRC resident enterprise for EIT Law purposes and PRC tax were imposed on any gain (see “—Taxation in the PRC” above), and if a U.S. Holder is eligible for the benefits of the U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty, the holder may be able to treat such gain as PRC source gain under the treaty for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. A U.S. Holder will be eligible for U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty benefits if (for the purposes of the treaty) such holder is a resident of the United States and satisfies the other requirements specified in the U.S.- PRC Tax Treaty. Because the determination of treaty benefit eligibility is fact-intensive and depends upon a holder’s particular circumstances, U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty benefit eligibility. U.S. Holders are also encouraged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences in the event PRC tax were to be imposed on a disposition of ordinary shares or ADSs, including the availability of the U.S. foreign tax credit and the ability and whether to treat any gain as PRC source gain for the purposes of the U.S. foreign tax credit in consideration of their particular circumstances. Additional Tax on Net Investment Income An additional 3.8% tax is imposed on the “net investment income” of certain U.S. citizens and resident aliens, and on the undistributed “net investment income” of certain estates and trusts. Among other items, “net investment income” would generally include dividends on and gains from the sale or other disposition of ordinary shares or ADSs. You should consult your own tax advisor regarding the application of this tax. Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations Status as a PFIC. The rules governing PFICs can result in adverse tax consequences to U.S. Holders. We generally will be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes if, for any taxable year, either: (1) 75% or more of our gross income consists of certain types of passive income, or (2) the average value (determined on a quarterly basis), of our assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income is 50% or more of the value of all of our assets. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than certain rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business), annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. If a non-U.S. corporation owns at least 25% by value of the stock of another corporation, the non-U.S. corporation is treated for the purposes of the PFIC tests as owning its proportionate share of the assets of the other corporation and as receiving directly its proportionate share of the other corporation’s income. Under this rule, we should be deemed to own a proportionate share of the assets and to have received a proportionate share of the income of our principal subsidiaries and joint ventures, including Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals Limited and Hutchison Whampoa Guangzhou Baiyunshan Chinese Medicine Company Limited for the period up to September 28, 2021 (the effective date of disposal), for the purposes of the PFIC determination. Additionally, if we are classified as a PFIC in any taxable year with respect to which a U.S. Holder owns ordinary shares or ADSs, we generally will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such U.S. Holder in all succeeding taxable years, regardless of whether we continue to meet the tests described above, unless the U.S. Holder makes the “deemed sale election” described below. Furthermore, if we are treated as a PFIC, then one or more of our subsidiaries may also be treated as PFICs. 221 Based on certain estimates of our gross income and gross assets (which estimates are inherently imprecise) and the nature of our business, we do not believe that we are currently a PFIC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the determination of whether we are a PFIC is made annually and depends on particular facts and circumstances (such as the valuation of our assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets) and also may be affected by the application of the PFIC rules, which are subject to differing interpretations. The fair market value of our assets is expected to depend, in part, upon (a) the market price of our ADSs, which is likely to fluctuate, and (b) the composition of our income and assets, which will be affected by how, and how quickly, we spend any cash that is raised in any financing transaction. In light of the foregoing, no assurance can be provided that we are not currently a PFIC or that we will not become a PFIC in any future taxable year. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding our PFIC status. U.S. federal income tax treatment of a shareholder of a PFIC. If we are classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder owns ordinary shares or ADSs, the U.S. Holder, absent certain elections (including the mark-to-market and QEF elections described below), generally will be subject to adverse rules (regardless of whether we continue to be classified as a PFIC) with respect to (1) any “excess distributions” (generally, any distributions received by the U.S. Holder on its ordinary shares or ADSs in a taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by the U.S. Holder in the three preceding taxable years or, if shorter, the U.S. Holder’s holding period) and (2) any gain realized on the sale or other disposition, including a pledge, of such ordinary shares or ADSs. Under these rules (a) the excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period, (b) the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which we are classified as a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income and (c) the amount allocated to each other taxable year during the U.S. Holder’s holding period in which we were classified as a PFIC (i) will be subject to tax at the highest rate of tax in effect for the applicable category of taxpayer for that year and (ii) will be subject to an interest charge at a statutory rate with respect to the resulting tax attributable to each such other taxable year. In addition, non-corporate U.S. Holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividends received from us if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year. If we are classified as a PFIC, a U.S. Holder will generally be treated as owning a proportionate amount (by value) of stock or shares owned by us in any direct or indirect subsidiaries that are also PFICs and will be subject to similar adverse rules with respect to any distributions we receive from, and dispositions we make of, the stock or shares of such subsidiaries. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors about the application of the PFIC rules to any of our subsidiaries. If we are classified as a PFIC and then cease to be so classified, a U.S. Holder may make an election (a “deemed sale election”) to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having sold such U.S. Holder’s ordinary shares or ADSs on the last day of our taxable year during which we were a PFIC. A U.S. Holder that makes a deemed sale election would then cease to be treated as owning stock in a PFIC. However, gain recognized as a result of making the deemed sale election would be subject to the adverse rules described above and loss would not be recognized. PFIC “mark-to-market” election. In certain circumstances, a holder of “marketable stock” of a PFIC can avoid certain of the adverse rules described above by making a timely mark-to-market election with respect to such stock. For the purposes of these rules “marketable stock” is stock which is “regularly traded” (traded in greater than de minimis quantities on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter) on a “qualified exchange” or other market within the meaning of applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations. A “qualified exchange” includes a national securities exchange that is registered with the SEC. A U.S. Holder that makes a timely mark-to-market election must include in gross income, as ordinary income, for each taxable year that we are a PFIC an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the U.S. Holder’s ordinary shares or ADSs that are “marketable stock” at the close of the taxable year over the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such ordinary shares or ADSs. An electing U.S. Holder may also claim an ordinary loss deduction for the excess, if any, of the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such ordinary shares or ADSs over their fair market value at the close of the taxable year, but this deduction is allowable only to the extent of any net mark-to-market gains previously included in income pursuant to the timely mark-to-market election. The adjusted tax basis of a U.S. Holder’s ordinary shares or ADSs with respect to which the timely mark-to-market election applies would be adjusted to reflect amounts included in gross income or allowed as a deduction because of such election. If a U.S. Holder makes an effective mark-to-market election with respect to our ordinary shares or ADSs, gains from an actual sale or other disposition of such ordinary shares or ADSs in a year in which we are a PFIC would be treated as ordinary income, and any losses incurred on such sale or other disposition would be treated as ordinary losses to the extent of any net mark-to-market gains previously included in income. 222 If we are classified as a PFIC for any taxable year in which a U.S. Holder owns ordinary shares or ADSs but before a timely mark- to-market election is made, the adverse PFIC rules described above will apply to any mark-to-market gain recognized in the year the election is made. Otherwise, a timely mark-to-market election will be effective for the taxable year for which the election is made and all subsequent taxable years unless the ordinary shares or ADSs are no longer regularly traded on a qualified exchange or the IRS consents to the revocation of the election. Our ADSs are listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, which is a qualified exchange or other market for the purposes of the mark-to-market election. Consequently, if the ADSs continue to be so listed, and are “regularly traded” for the purposes of these rules (for which no assurance can be given) we expect that the mark-to-market election would be available to a U.S. Holder with respect to our ADSs. A mark-to-market election is not permitted for the shares of any of our subsidiaries that are also classified as PFICs. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of, and the procedure for, and the effect of making, a mark-to- market election, and whether making the election would be advisable, including in light of their particular circumstances. PFIC “QEF” election. In some cases, a shareholder of a PFIC can avoid the interest charge and the other adverse PFIC tax consequences described above by obtaining certain information from the PFIC and by making a timely QEF election to be taxed currently on its share of the PFIC’s undistributed income. We do not, however, expect to provide the information regarding our income that would be necessary in order for a U.S. Holder to make a timely QEF election if we were classified as a PFIC. PFIC information reporting requirements. If we are classified as a PFIC in any year with respect to a U.S. Holder, such U.S. Holder will be required to file an annual information return on IRS Form 8621 regarding distributions received on, and any gain realized on the disposition of, our ordinary shares and ADSs, and certain U.S. Holders will be required to file an annual information return (also on IRS Form 8621) relating to their ownership interest. NO ASSURANCE CAN BE GIVEN THAT WE ARE NOT CURRENTLY A PFIC OR THAT WE WILL NOT BECOME A PFIC IN THE FUTURE. U.S. HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE OPERATION OF THE PFIC RULES AND RELATED REPORTING REQUIREMENTS IN LIGHT OF THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING THE ADVISABILITY AND EFFECTS OF MAKING ANY ELECTION THAT MAY BE AVAILABLE. Backup Withholding and Information Reporting and Filing Requirements Backup withholding and information reporting requirements may apply to distributions on, and proceeds from the sale or disposition of, ordinary shares and ADSs that are held by U.S. Holders. The payor will be required to withhold tax (currently at a rate of 24%) on such payments made within the United States, or by a U.S. payor or a U.S. intermediary (and certain subsidiaries thereof) to a U.S. Holder, other than an exempt recipient, if the U.S. Holder is not otherwise exempt and:     the holder fails to furnish the holder’s taxpayer identification number, which for an individual is ordinarily his or her social security number; the holder furnishes an incorrect taxpayer identification number; the applicable withholding agent is notified by the IRS that the holder previously failed to properly report payments of interest or dividends; or the holder fails to certify under penalties of perjury that the holder has furnished a correct taxpayer identification number and that the IRS has not notified the holder that the holder is subject to backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (if any) or refunded provided the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their qualification for an exemption from backup withholding and the procedures for obtaining such an exemption. 223 Certain U.S. Holders of specified foreign financial assets with an aggregate value in excess of the applicable dollar threshold are required to report information relating to their holding of ordinary shares or ADSs, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for shares held in accounts maintained by certain financial institutions) with their tax returns for each year in which they hold such interests. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the information reporting obligations that may arise from their acquisition, ownership or disposition of our ordinary shares or ADSs. THE ABOVE DISCUSSION DOES NOT COVER ALL TAX MATTERS THAT MAY BE OF IMPORTANCE TO A PARTICULAR INVESTOR. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS ARE STRONGLY URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS ABOUT THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF AN INVESTMENT IN OUR ORDINARY SHARES OR ADSs. F. Dividends and Payment Agents. Not applicable. G. Statement by Experts. Not applicable. H. Documents on Display. We are subject to the informational requirements of the Exchange Act and are required to file reports and other information with the SEC. Shareholders may access our reports and other information filed with the SEC by viewing them on the SEC’s website, at www.sec.gov. We also make available on our website’s investor relations page, free of charge, our annual report and the text of our reports on Form 6-K, including any amendments to these reports, as well as certain other SEC filings, as soon as reasonably practicable after they are electronically filed with or furnished to the SEC. The address for our investor relations page is www.hutch-med.com/ shareholder-information. The information contained on our website is not incorporated by reference in this annual report. We are a “foreign private issuer” as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, and are not subject to the same requirements that are imposed upon U.S. domestic issuers by the SEC. Under the Exchange Act, we are subject to reporting obligations that, in certain respects, are less detailed and less frequent than those of U.S. domestic reporting companies. As a result, we do not file the same reports that a U.S. domestic issuer would file with the SEC, although we are required to file or furnish to the SEC the continuous disclosure documents that we are required to file on the AIM market. We will furnish Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, the depositary of our ADSs, with our annual reports, which will include a review of operation and annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, and all notices of shareholders’ meetings and other reports and communications that are made generally available to our shareholders. The depositary will make such notices, reports and communications available to holders of ADSs and, upon our requests, will mail to all record holders of ADSs the information contained in any notice of a shareholders’ meeting received by the depositary from us. I. Subsidiary information. Not applicable. ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Foreign Exchange Risk Most of our revenue and expenses are denominated in renminbi, and our consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. We do not believe that we currently have any significant direct foreign exchange risk and have not used any derivative financial instruments to hedge our exposure to such risk. Although, in general, our exposure to foreign exchange risks should be limited, the value of your investment in our ADSs will be affected by the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the renminbi because the value of our business is effectively denominated in renminbi, while the ADSs will be traded in U.S. dollars. 224 The value of the renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions. The conversion of renminbi into foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars, has been based on rates set by the PBOC. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decade-old policy of pegging the value of the renminbi to the U.S. dollar. Under the revised policy, the renminbi is permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy resulted in a more than 20% appreciation of the renminbi against the U.S. dollar in the following three years. Between July 2008 and June 2010, this appreciation halted, and the exchange rate between the renminbi and U.S. dollar remained within a narrow band. In June 2010, the PBOC announced that the PRC government would increase the flexibility of the exchange rate, and thereafter allowed the renminbi to appreciate slowly against the U.S. dollar within the narrow band fixed by the PBOC. At various times since then, the PBOC has significantly devalued the renminbi against the U.S. dollar. If we decide to convert renminbi into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or ADSs or for other business purposes, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the renminbi would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amounts available to us. Credit Risk Substantially all of our bank deposits are in major financial institutions, which we believe are of high credit quality. We limit the amount of credit exposure to any single financial institution. We make periodic assessments of the recoverability of trade and other receivables and amounts due from related parties. Our historical experience in collection of receivables falls within the recorded allowances, and we believe that we have made adequate provision for uncollectible receivables. Interest Rate Risk We have no significant interest-bearing assets except for bank deposits. Our exposure to changes in interest rates is mainly attributable to our bank borrowings, which bear interest at floating interest rates and expose us to cash flow interest rate risk. We have not used any interest rate swaps to hedge our exposure to interest rate risk. We have performed sensitivity analysis for the effects on our results for the year from changes in interest rates on floating rate borrowings. The sensitivity to interest rates used is based on the market forecasts available at the end of the reporting period and under the economic environments in which we operate, with other variables held constant. According to the analysis, the impact on our net loss of a 1.0% interest rate shift would be a maximum increase/decrease of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. ITEM 12. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES OTHER THAN EQUITY SECURITIES A. Debt Securities. Not applicable. B. Warrants and Rights. Not applicable. C. Other Securities. Not applicable. D. American Depositary Shares. Our ADSs representing our ordinary shares are currently traded on Nasdaq. Dealings in our ADSs on Nasdaq are conducted in U.S. dollars. ADSs may be held either: (a) directly: (i) by having an American Depositary Receipt, also referred to as an ADR, which is a certificate evidencing a specific number of ADSs registered in the holder’s name; or (ii) by having uncertificated ADSs registered in the holder’s name; or (b) indirectly, by holding a security entitlement in ADSs through a broker or other financial institution that is a direct or indirect participant in The Depository Trust Company, also called DTC. 225 The depositary for our ADSs is Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, whose office is located at 1 Columbus Circle, New York, NY 10019, United States. Fees and charges our ADS holders may have to pay ADS holders will be required to pay the following service fees to Deutsche Bank Trust Company America, the depositary of our ADS program, and certain taxes and governmental charges (in addition to any applicable fees, expenses, taxes and other governmental charges payable on the deposited securities represented by ADSs): Service  To any person to which ADSs are issued or to any person to which a distribution is made in respect of ADS distributions pursuant to stock dividends or other free distributions of stock, bonus distributions, stock splits or other distributions (except where converted to cash) Fees Up to $0.05 per ADS issued  Cancellation or withdrawal of ADSs, including the case of termination of the deposit agreement Up to $0.05 per ADS cancelled  Distribution of cash dividends  Distribution of cash entitlements (other than cash dividends) and/or cash proceeds from the sale Up to $0.05 per ADS held Up to $0.05 per ADS held of rights, securities and other entitlements  Distribution of ADSs pursuant to exercise of rights  Depositary services Up to $0.05 per ADS held Up to $0.05 per ADS held on the applicable record date(s) established by the depositary bank (an annual fee) ADS holders will also be responsible for paying certain fees and expenses incurred by the depositary bank and certain taxes and governmental charges (in addition to any applicable fees, expenses, taxes and other governmental charges payable on the deposited securities represented by any of your ADSs) such as:  Fees for the transfer and registration of ordinary shares charged by the registrar and transfer agent for the ordinary shares in the Cayman Islands (i.e., upon deposit and withdrawal of ordinary shares).  Expenses incurred for converting foreign currency into U.S. dollars.  Expenses for cable, telex and fax transmissions and for delivery of securities.  Taxes and duties upon the transfer of securities, including any applicable stamp duties, any stock transfer charges or withholding taxes (i.e., when ordinary shares are deposited or withdrawn from deposit).  Fees and expenses incurred in connection with the delivery or servicing of ordinary shares on deposit.  Fees and expenses incurred in connection with complying with exchange control regulations and other regulatory requirements applicable to ordinary shares, ordinary shares deposited securities, ADSs and ADRs.  Any applicable fees and penalties thereon. The depositary fees payable upon the issuance and cancellation of ADSs are typically paid to the depositary bank by the brokers (on behalf of their clients) receiving the newly issued ADSs from the depositary bank and by the brokers (on behalf of their clients) delivering the ADSs to the depositary bank for cancellation. The brokers in turn charge these fees to their clients. Depositary fees payable in connection with distributions of cash or securities to ADS holders and the depositary services fee are charged by the depositary bank to the holders of record of ADSs as of the applicable ADS record date. 226 The depositary fees payable for cash distributions are generally deducted from the cash being distributed or by selling a portion of distributable property to pay the fees. In the case of distributions other than cash (i.e., share dividends, rights), the depositary bank charges the applicable fee to the ADS record date holders concurrent with the distribution. In the case of ADSs registered in the name of the investor (whether certificated or uncertificated in direct registration), the depositary bank sends invoices to the applicable record date ADS holders. In the case of ADSs held in brokerage and custodian accounts (via DTC), the depositary bank generally collects its fees through the systems provided by DTC (whose nominee is the registered holder of the ADSs held in DTC) from the brokers and custodians holding ADSs in their DTC accounts. The brokers and custodians who hold their clients’ ADSs in DTC accounts in turn charge their clients’ accounts the amount of the fees paid to the depositary banks. In the event of refusal to pay the depositary fees, the depositary bank may, under the terms of the deposit agreement, refuse the requested service until payment is received or may set off the amount of the depositary fees from any distribution to be made to the ADS holder. Fees and other payments made by the depositary to us The depositary has agreed to pay certain amounts to us in exchange for its appointment as depositary. We may use these funds towards our expenses relating to the establishment and maintenance of the ADR program, including investor relations expenses, or otherwise as we see fit. In 2021, we did not collect any reimbursements from the depositary for expenses related to the administration and maintenance of the facility. Ordinary Shares and Conversions Our ordinary shares are admitted to trading on AIM and trade on the SEHK. Dealings in our ordinary shares on the AIM and SEHK are conducted in pound sterlings and H.K. dollars, respectively. In connection with the initial public offering of our ordinary shares in Hong Kong in June 2021, we established a branch register of members in Hong Kong, or the Hong Kong share register, which will be maintained by our Hong Kong Share Registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited. Our principal register of members, or the Cayman share register, will continue to be maintained by our Principal Share Registrar, Computershare Investor Services (Jersey) Limited. All ordinary shares offered in our initial public offering in Hong Kong were registered on the Hong Kong share register in order to be listed and traded on the SEHK. Details on the conversion process between SEHK, Nasdaq and AIM are available at https://www.hutch-med.com/shareholder- information/investor-faqs/. ITEM 13.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding our required disclosure. Based on such evaluation, our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. B. Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of a company’s assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that a company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of a company’s management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of a company’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013 Framework). Based on this assessment, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2021. C. Attestation Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. Our independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian LLP (“PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian”) , has audited the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, as stated in its report, which appears in this annual report. D. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 that have materially and adversely affected, or are reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect, our internal control over financial reporting. ITEM 16. RESERVED 228 ITEM 16A.

CODE OF ETHICS Our board of directors has adopted a code of ethics applicable to all of our employees, officers and directors, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, and persons performing similar functions. This code is intended to qualify as a “code of ethics” within the meaning of the applicable rules of the SEC.

CHANGE IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT On June 15, 2021, we engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian as our independent registered public accounting firm, and dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers. The change of our independent registered public accounting firm had been approved by the audit committee of our board of directors, and the decision was not made due to any disagreement between us and Pricewaterhouse Coopers. The reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers on our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020 and the subsequent interim period through June 15, 2021, there have been no (i) disagreements between us and PricewaterhouseCoopers on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or audit scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the consolidated financial statements for such years, or (ii) reportable events as defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of the instructions to Form 20-F. We have provided PricewaterhouseCoopers with a copy of the disclosures hereunder and required under Item 16F of Form 20-F and requested from PricewaterhouseCoopers a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission indicating whether it agrees with such disclosures. A copy of PricewaterhouseCooper’s letter dated June 21, 2021 is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to our current report on Form 6-K furnished to the SEC on June 21, 2021. During each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020 and the subsequent interim period through June 15, 2021, neither we nor anyone on behalf of us has consulted with PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to us that PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to any accounting, audit or financial reporting issue, (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement pursuant to Item 16F(a)(1)(iv) of the instructions to Form 20-F, or (iii) any reportable event pursuant to Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of the instructions to Form 20-F. 230 ITEM 16G. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE As permitted by Nasdaq, in lieu of the Nasdaq corporate governance rules, but subject to certain exceptions, we may follow the practices of our home country which for the purpose of such rules is the Cayman Islands. Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands may differ significantly from corporate governance listing standards as, except for general fiduciary duties and duties of care, Cayman Islands law has no corporate governance regime which prescribes specific corporate governance standards. For example, we follow Cayman Islands corporate governance practices in lieu of the corporate governance requirements of the Nasdaq Global Select Market in respect of the following: (i) the majority independent director requirement under Section 5605(b)(1) of the Nasdaq listing rules, (ii) the requirement under Section 5605(d) of the Nasdaq listing rules that a remuneration committee comprised solely of independent directors governed by a remuneration committee charter oversee executive compensation, and (iii) the requirement under Section 5605(e) of the Nasdaq listing rules that director nominees be selected or recommended for selection by either a majority of the independent directors or a nominations committee comprised solely of independent directors. Cayman Islands law does not impose a requirement that our board of directors consist of a majority of independent directors, nor does Cayman Islands law impose specific requirements on the establishment of a remuneration committee or nominating committee or nominating process. We voluntarily comply with Hong Kong Corporate Governance Code. See Item 6.C. “Board Practice—Hong Kong Corporate Governance Code” for more details. ITEM 16H. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURE Not applicable.

F-2 to F-48 SHANGHAI HUTCHISON PHARMACEUTICALS LIMITED F-49 Report of Independent Auditors To the Board of Directors of Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals Limited Opinion We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals Limited and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated income statements, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board . Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Responsibilities of Management for the Consolidated Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board , and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidatedfinancial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least, but not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with US GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements. In performing an audit in accordance with US GAAS, we: ● Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. ● Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. F-50 ● Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. ● Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. ● Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

F-56 Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 1. General Information Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together the “Group”) are principally engaged in manufacturing, selling and distribution of prescription drug products. The Group has manufacturing plants in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) and sells mainly in the PRC. The Company was incorporated in the PRC on April 30, 2001 as a Chinese-Foreign Equity joint venture. The Company is jointly controlled by Shanghai HUTCHMED Investment (HK) Limited (“SHHCMI(HK)L”) (formerly known as “Shanghai Hutchison Chinese Medicine (HK) Investment Limited”) and Shanghai Traditional Chinese Medicine Co., Ltd (“SHTCML”). These consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“US$”), unless otherwise stated and have been approved for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 3, 2022. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The consolidated financial statements comply with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. During the year, the Group has adopted all of the new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations issued by the IASB that are relevant to the Group’s operations and mandatory for annual periods beginning January 1, 2021. The adoption of these new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations did not have any material effects on the Group’s results of operations or financial position. The following standards, amendments and interpretations were issued but not yet effective for the financial year ended December 31, 2021 and have not been early adopted by the Group: IFRS 3 (Amendments)(1) IAS 16 (Amendments)(1) IAS 37 (Amendments)(1) Annual improvement 2018-2020(1) IAS 1(2) IAS 1 (Amendments)(2) IAS 8 (Amendments)(2) IAS 12 (Amendments)(2) IFRS 17(2) IFRS 10 and IAS 28 (Amendments)(3) Reference to the Conceptual Framework Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use Onerous Contracts – Costs of Fulfilling a Contract Improvements to IFRSs Disclosure Initiative-Accounting Policies Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current Definition of Accounting Estimates Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction Insurance Contracts Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (1) Effective for the Group for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. (2) Effective for the Group for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. (3) Effective date to be determined by the IASB. The adoption of standards, amendments and interpretations listed above in future periods is not expected to have any material effects on the Group’s results of operations or financial position. F-57 (a) Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements of the Group include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. (b) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. In the consolidated financial statements, subsidiaries are accounted for as described in Note 2(a) above. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. (c) Foreign Currency Translation Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s companies are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is Renminbi (“RMB”) whereas the consolidated financial statements are presented in US$, which is the Company’s presentation currency. Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognized in the consolidated income statements. The financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries are translated into the Company’s presentation currency using the year end rates of exchange for the statements of financial position items and the average rates of exchange for the year for the income statement items. Exchange translation differences are recognized directly in other comprehensive income. (d) Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment other than construction in progress are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes the purchase price of the asset and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the consolidated income statements during the financial period in which they are incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate asset costs less accumulated impairment losses over their estimated useful lives. The principal estimated useful lives are as follows: Buildings Leasehold improvements 20 years Over the unexpired period of the lease or 5 years, whichever is shorter Plant and equipment Furniture and fixtures, other equipment and motor vehicles 10 years 5 years F-58 The assets’ useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing net sales proceeds with the carrying amount of the relevant assets and are recognized in the consolidated income statements. (e) Construction in Progress Construction in progress represents buildings, plant and machinery under construction and pending installation and is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost includes the costs of construction of buildings and the costs of plant and machinery. No provision for depreciation is made on construction-in-progress until such time as the relevant assets are completed and ready for its intended use. When the assets concerned are brought into use, the costs are transferred to property, plant and equipment and depreciated in accordance with the policy as stated in Note 2(d). (f) Other Intangible Asset The Group’s other intangible asset represents promotion and marketing rights. Other intangible asset has a definite useful life and is carried at historical cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate its cost over its estimated useful life of ten years. (g) Research and Development Research expenditure is recognized as an expense as incurred. Costs incurred on development projects (relating to the design and testing of new or improved products) are recognized as intangible assets when it is probable that the project will generate future economic benefits by considering its commercial and technological feasibility, and costs can be measured reliably. Other development expenditures are recognized as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognized as an expense are not recognized as an asset in a subsequent period. Development costs with a finite useful life that have been capitalized, if any, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of expected benefit not exceeding five years. The capitalized development costs are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Where the research phase and the development phase of an internal project cannot be clearly distinguished, all expenditure incurred on the project is charged to the consolidated income statements. (h) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets Assets are reviewed for impairment to determine whether there is any indication that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable and have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Such impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated income statements. Assets that have an indefinite useful life such as goodwill or intangible assets not ready to use are not subject to amortization and are tested for impairment annually and when there are indications that the carrying value may not be recoverable. (i) Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost method. The cost of finished goods comprises raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity). Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses. F-59 (j) Trade and Other Receivables Trade and other receivables are recognized initially at fair value, which is the amount of consideration that is unconditional. Trade and other receivables solely represent payments of principal and interest, if any, and the Group holds such financial assets with the objective to collect its contractual cash flows. Therefore, the Group measures them subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any loss allowance. The Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. All other receivables at amortized cost are considered to have low credit risk, and the loss allowance recognized during the period was therefore limited to 12 months expected losses. The amount of the provision is recognized in the consolidated income statements. (k) Cash and Cash Equivalents In the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank deposits and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, if any. (l) Financial Liabilities and Equity Instruments Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. Financial liabilities (including trade and other payables) are initially measured at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method. An equity instrument is any contract that does not meet the definition of a financial liability and evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities. Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs, net of tax, directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds. (m) Current and Deferred Income Tax (i) Current income tax The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the country where the Group operates and generates taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. (ii) Deferred income tax Inside basis differences Deferred income tax is recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill and deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off and when the deferred income taxes related to the same fiscal authority. F-60 Outside basis differences Deferred income tax liabilities are provided on taxable temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, except for deferred income tax liabilities where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax assets are recognized on deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, only to the extent that it is probable the temporary difference will reverse in the future and there is sufficient taxable profit available against which the temporary difference can be utilized. (n) Employee Benefits The employees of the Group participate in defined contribution retirement benefit plans managed by the relevant municipal and provincial governments in the PRC. The assets of these plans are held separately from the Group. The Group is required to make monthly contributions to the plans calculated as a percentage of the employees’ salaries. The municipal and provincial governments undertake to assume the retirement benefit obligations to all existing and future retired employees under the plans described above. Other than the monthly contributions, the Group has no further obligations for the payment of the retirement and other post-retirement benefits of its employees. (o) Provisions Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses. (p) Leases A lease is recognized as a right-of-use asset with a corresponding liability at the date which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. The Group recognizes an obligation to make lease payments equal to the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Group will exercise that option. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments: (i) fixed payments; (ii) variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate; and (iii) payments of penalties for terminating the lease if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option, if any. Lease liabilities exclude the following payments that are generally accounted for separately: (i) non-lease components, such as maintenance and security service fees and value added tax, and (ii) any payments that a lessee makes before the lease commencement date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or if that rate cannot be determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds in its currency and jurisdiction necessary to obtain an asset of similar value, economic environment and terms and conditions. An asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term is recognized that consists of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, any initial direct cost incurred by the Group and any restoration costs. After commencement of the lease, each lease payment is allocated between lease liability and finance costs. The finance costs are recognized over the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the lease liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. Payments associated with short-term leases are recognized as lease expenses on a straight-line basis over the period of the leases. Leasehold land is accounted under IFRS 16. F-61 (q) Government Incentives Incentives from government are recognized at their fair values where there is a reasonable assurance that the incentives will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. Government incentives relating to costs are deferred and recognized in the consolidated income statements over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate. Government grants relating to property, plant and equipment are included in other payables, accruals and advance receipts and non-current liabilities as deferred income and credited to the consolidated income statements on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related assets. (r) Revenue and Income Recognition Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Group from a customer, are also excluded from revenue. The Group recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a good to a customer. The Group principally generates revenue from sales of goods. Revenue from sales of goods is recognized when the customer takes possession of the goods. This usually occurs upon completed delivery of the goods to the customer site. The amount of revenue recognized is adjusted for expected sales incentives as stipulated in the contract, which are generally issued to customers as direct discounts at the point-of-sale or indirectly in the form of rebates. Sales incentives are estimated using the expected value method. Additionally, sales are generally made with a limited right of return under certain conditions. Revenues are recorded net of provisions for sales discounts and returns. Revenue from provision of services is recognized when the benefits of the services transfer to the customer over time, which is based on the proportionate value of services rendered as determined under the terms of the relevant contract. Additionally, when the amounts that can be invoiced correspond directly with the value to the customer for performance completed to date, the Group recognizes revenue from provision of services based on amounts that can be invoiced to the customer. Payments in advance from customers are deferred if consideration is received in advance of transferring control of the goods or rendering of services. Accounts receivable is recognized if the Group has an unconditional right to bill the customer, which is generally when the customer takes possession of the goods or services are rendered. Payment terms differ by subsidiary and customer, but generally range from 45 to 180 days from the invoice date. (s) Interest Income Interest income is recognized on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method. (t) Segment Reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision makers. The Company’s Board of Directors, which is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the steering committee that makes strategic decisions. (u) General Reserves In accordance with the laws applicable to Foreign Investment Enterprises established in the PRC, the Company makes appropriations to certain non-distributable reserve funds including the general reserve fund, the enterprise expansion fund and the staff bonus and welfare fund. The amount of appropriations to these funds are made at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. F-62 3. Financial Risk Management (a) Financial risk factors The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group does not use any derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. (i) Credit risk The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables (including bills receivables) and other receivables included in the consolidated statements of financial position represent the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk of the counterparty in relation to its financial assets. Substantially all of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents are deposited in major financial institutions, which management believes are of high credit quality. The Group has a practice to limit the amount of credit exposure to any financial institution. Bills receivables are mostly settled by state-owned banks or other reputable banks and therefore the management considers that they will not expose the Group to any significant credit risk. The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk. The Group has policies in place to ensure that the sales of products are made to customers with appropriate credit history and the Group performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers. Management periodically assesses the recoverability of trade receivables and other receivables. The Group’s historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on specific factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables, and historical experience collecting receivables falls within the recorded allowances. (ii) Liquidity risk Prudent liquidity management implies maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents and the availability of funding when necessary. The Group’s policy is to regularly monitor current and expected liquidity requirements to ensure that it maintains sufficient cash balances and adequate credit facilities to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and long term. As at December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Group’s current financial liabilities were mainly due for settlement within twelve months and the Group expects to meet all liquidity requirements. (b) Capital risk management The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. The Group regularly reviews and manages its capital structure to ensure an optimal balance between higher shareholders’ return that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position, and makes adjustments to the capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions. The Group monitors capital on the basis of the liabilities to assets ratio. This ratio is calculated as total liabilities divided by total assets as shown on the consolidated statements of financial position. F-63 Currently, it is the Group’s strategy to maintain a reasonable liabilities to assets ratio. The liabilities to assets ratio as at December 31, 2021 and 2020 was as follows: Total liabilities Total assets Liabilities to assets ratio (c) Fair value estimation December 31, 2021 2020 (in US$’000) 136,124 281,817 48.3 % 116,612 269,320 43.3 % The Group does not have any financial assets or liabilities which are carried at fair value. The carrying amounts of the Group’s current financial assets, including cash and cash equivalents, trade and bills receivables and other receivables, and current financial liabilities, including trade payables and other payables and accruals, approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities. The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial instruments carried at cost or amortized cost are not materially different from their fair values. The face values less any estimated credit adjustments for financial assets and liabilities with a maturity of less than one year are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments. 4. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements Note 2 includes a summary of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The preparation of consolidated financial statements often requires the use of judgements to select specific accounting methods and policies from several acceptable alternatives. Furthermore, significant estimates and assumptions concerning the future may be required in selecting and applying those methods and policies in the consolidated financial statements. The Group bases its estimates and judgements on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates and judgements under different assumptions or conditions. The following is a review of the more significant assumptions and estimates, as well as the accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. (a) Sales rebates Certain sales rebates are provided to customers when their business performance for an agreed period within the year and the whole year meets certain criteria as stipulated in the contracts. Sales rebates are considered variable consideration and the estimate of sales rebates during the year is based on estimated sales transactions for the entire period stipulated and is subject to change based on actual performance and collection status. (b) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment The Group has made substantial investments in property, plant and equipment. Changes in technology or changes in the intended use of these assets may cause the estimated period of use or value of these assets to change. (c) Deferred income tax Deferred tax is recognized using the liability method on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax losses and tax credits can be utilized. Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Where the final outcomes are different from the estimations, such differences will impact the carrying amount of deferred tax in the period in which such determination is made. F-64 5. Revenue and Segment Information Management has reviewed the Group’s internal reporting in order to assess performance and allocate resources, and has determined that the Group has two reportable operating segments as follows: —Manufacturing business—manufacture and distribution of drug products —Distribution business—provision of sales, distribution and marketing services to pharmaceutical manufacturers The operating segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the basis of preparation mentioned in Note 2(1) to the accompanying consolidated financial statements; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors’ Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hutchison Whampoa Guangzhou Baiyunshan Chinese Medicine Company Limited and its subsidiaries as of September 28, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the period from January 1, 2021 to September 28, 2021, and each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020 in accordance with the basis of preparation mentioned in Note 2(1) to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

F-82 Hutchison Whampoa Guangzhou Baiyunshan Chinese Medicine Company Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 1. General Information Hutchison Whampoa Guangzhou Baiyunshan Chinese Medicine Company Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together the “Group”) are principally engaged in manufacturing, selling and distribution of over-the-counter drug products. The Group has manufacturing plants in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) and sells mainly in the PRC. The Company was incorporated in the PRC on April 12, 2005 as a Chinese-Foreign Equity joint venture. The Company is jointly controlled by Guangzhou Hutchison Chinese Medicine (HK) Investment Limited (“GZHCMHK”) and Guangzhou Baiyunshan Pharmaceutical Holdings Company Limited (“GBPHCL”). On September 28, 2021, an intermediate holding company under HUTCHMED (China) Limited (“HUTCHMED”) which wholly-owned GZHCMHK, sold its entire shareholding in GZHCMHK to a third party. These consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“US$”), unless otherwise stated and have been approved for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on September 28, 2021. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (1) Basis of Preparation Except for the comparative periods which have been prepared in accordance with the Regulation S-X Rule 3-09 issued by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The consolidated financial statements comply with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. As at September 28, 2021, the Group was in a net current liabilities position of US$32.0 million, primarily due to the dividend declaration on May 13, 2021 and September 23, 2021 of US$46.5 million and US$59.7 million respectively. Based on the Group’s operating plan, the existing cash and cash equivalents along with the expected net cash to be generated from operating activities are considered to be sufficient to meet the cash requirements to fund planned operations and other commitments for at least the next twelve months (the look-forward period used) from the report issue date, and it is appropriate for the Group to prepare the consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis. F-83 (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies During the period, the Group has adopted all of the new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations issued by the IASB that are relevant to the Group’s operations and mandatory for annual periods beginning January 1, 2021. The adoption of these new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations did not have any material effects on the Group’s results of operations or financial position. The following standards, amendments and interpretations were issued but not yet effective for the financial period from January 1, 2021 to September 28, 2021 and have not been early adopted by the Group: IFRS 3 (Amendments)(1) IAS 16 (Amendments)(1) IAS 37 (Amendments)(1) Annual improvement 2018-2020(1) IAS 1(2) IAS 1 (Amendments)(2) IAS 8 (Amendments)(2) IAS 12 (Amendments)(2) IFRS 17(2) IFRS 10 and IAS 28 (Amendments)(3) Reference to the Conceptual Framework Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use Onerous Contracts – Costs of Fulfilling a Contract Improvements to IFRSs Disclosure Initiative – Accounting Policies Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current Definition of Accounting Estimates Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction Insurance Contracts Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (1) Effective for the Group for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. (2) Effective for the Group for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. (3) Effective date to be determined by the IASB. The adoption of standards, amendments and interpretations listed above in future periods is not expected to have any material effects on the Group’s results of operations or financial position. (a) Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements of the Group include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, and also include the Group’s interests in a joint venture and associated companies on the basis set out in Notes 2(d) and 2(e) below. The accounting policies of subsidiaries, the joint venture and associated companies have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Non-controlling interests represent the interests of outside shareholders in the operating results and net assets of subsidiaries. (b) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. In the consolidated financial statements, subsidiaries are accounted for as described in Note 2(a) above. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. F-84 (c) Transactions with Non-controlling Interests Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as transactions with equity owners of the Group. For purchases from non-controlling interests, the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity. (d) Joint Arrangements Investments in joint arrangements are classified either as joint operations or joint ventures depending on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor. The Group has assessed the nature of its joint arrangement and determined it to be a joint venture. The joint venture is accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting, the interest in joint venture is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses and movements in other comprehensive income. The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the joint venture is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the joint venture and its carrying value and recognizes the amount in the consolidated income statements. (e) Associated Companies An associate is an entity, other than a subsidiary or a joint venture, in which the Group has a long-term equity interest and over which the Group is in position to exercise significant influence over its management, including participation in the financial and operating policy decisions. The results and net assets of associates are incorporated in these financial statements using the equity method of accounting, except when the investment is classified as held for sale, in which case it is accounted for under IFRS 5, Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations. The total carrying amount of such investments is reduced to recognize any identified impairment loss in the value of individual investments. (f) Foreign Currency Translation Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s companies are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries, joint venture and associated companies is Renminbi (“RMB”) whereas the consolidated financial statements are presented in US$, which is the Company’s presentation currency. Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognized in the consolidated income statements. The financial statements of the Company, subsidiaries, joint venture and associated companies are translated into the Company’s presentation currency using the year end rates of exchange for the statements of financial position items and the average rates of exchange for the year for the income statement items. Exchange translation differences are recognized directly in other comprehensive income. (g) Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment other than construction in progress are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes the purchase price of the asset and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. F-85 Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the consolidated income statements during the financial period in which they are incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate asset costs less accumulated impairment losses over their estimated useful lives. The principal estimated useful lives are as follows: Buildings and facilities Plant and equipment Furniture and fixtures, other equipment and motor vehicles 10-30 years 10 years 5 years The assets’ useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing net sales proceeds with the carrying amount of the relevant assets and are recognized in the consolidated income statements. (h) Construction in Progress Construction in progress represents buildings, plant and machinery under construction and pending installation and is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost includes the costs of construction of buildings and the costs of plant and machinery. No provision for depreciation is made on construction in progress until such time as the relevant assets are completed and ready for its intended use. When the assets concerned are brought into use, the costs are transferred to property, plant and equipment and depreciated in accordance with the policy as stated in Note 2(g). (i) Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary/business at the date of acquisition, or the excess of fair value of business over its fair value of the net identifiable assets injected into the Company upon its formation. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary, the difference is recognized directly in the consolidated income statements. Goodwill is retained at the carrying amount as a separate asset, and subject to impairment test annually and when there are indications that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The profit or loss on disposal of a subsidiary is calculated by reference to the net assets at the date of disposal including the attributable amount of goodwill. (j) Other Intangible Assets The Group’s other intangible assets mainly include distribution network and drugs licenses contributed from non-controlling shareholders. Other intangible assets have a definite useful life and are carried at historical cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate costs over the estimated useful lives of ten years. (k) Research and Development Research expenditure is recognized as an expense as incurred. Costs incurred on development projects (relating to the design and testing of new or improved products) are recognized as intangible assets when it is probable that the project will generate future economic benefits by considering its commercial and technological feasibility, and costs can be measured reliably. Other development expenditures are recognized as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognized as an expense are not recognized as an asset in a subsequent period. Development costs with a finite useful life that have been capitalized, if any, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of expected benefit not exceeding five years. The capitalized development costs are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. F-86 Where the research phase and the development phase of an internal project cannot be clearly distinguished, all expenditure incurred on the project is charged to the consolidated income statements. (l) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets Assets are reviewed for impairment to determine whether there is any indication that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable and have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Such impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated income statements. Assets that have an indefinite useful life such as goodwill or intangible assets not ready to use are not subject to amortization and are tested for impairment annually and when there are indications that the carrying value may not be recoverable. (m) Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost method. The cost of finished goods comprises raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity). Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses. (n) Trade and Other Receivables Trade and other receivables are recognized initially at fair value, which is the amount of consideration that is unconditional. Trade and other receivables solely represent payments of principal and interest, if any, and the Group holds such financial assets with the objective to collect its contractual cash flows. Therefore, the Group measures them subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any loss allowance. The Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. All other receivables at amortized cost are considered to have low credit risk, and the loss allowance recognized during the period was therefore limited to 12 months expected losses. The amount of the provision is recognized in the consolidated income statements. (o) Cash and Cash Equivalents In the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank deposits and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, if any. (p) Financial Liabilities and Equity Instruments Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. Financial liabilities (including trade and other payables) are initially measured at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method. An equity instrument is any contract that does not meet the definition of financial liability and evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities. Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs, net of tax, directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds. (q) Current and Deferred Income Tax (i) Current income tax The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the country where the Group operates and generates taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. F-87 (ii) Deferred income tax Inside basis differences Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss and does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off and when the deferred income taxes related to the same fiscal authority. Outside basis differences Deferred income tax liabilities are provided on taxable temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements, except for deferred income tax liabilities where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Generally the Group is unable to control the reversal of the temporary difference for associates. Only when there is an agreement in place that gives the Group the ability to control the reversal of the temporary difference in the foreseeable future, deferred tax liability in relation to taxable temporary differences arising from the associate’s undistributed profits is not recognized. Deferred income tax assets are recognized on deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements only to the extent that it is probable the temporary difference will reverse in the future and there is sufficient taxable profit available against which the temporary difference can be utilized. (r) Employee Benefits The employees of the Group participate in defined contribution retirement benefit plans managed by the relevant municipal and provincial governments in the PRC. The assets of these plans are held separately from the Group. The Group is required to make monthly contributions to the plans, calculated as a percentage of the employees’ salaries. The municipal and provincial governments undertake to assume the retirement benefit obligations to all existing and future retired employees under the plans described above. Other than the monthly contributions, the Group has no further obligations for the payment of the retirement and other post-retirement benefits of its employees. (s) Provisions Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses. (t) Leases A lease is recognized as a right-of-use asset with a corresponding liability at the date which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. The Group recognizes an obligation to make lease payments equal to the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Group will exercise that option. F-88 Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments: (i) fixed payments; (ii) variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate; and (iii) payments of penalties for terminating the lease if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option, if any. Lease liabilities exclude the following payments that are generally accounted for separately: (i) non-lease components, such as maintenance and security service fees and value added tax, and (ii) any payments that a lessee makes before the lease commencement date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or if that rate cannot be determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds in its currency and jurisdiction necessary to obtain an asset of similar value, economic environment and terms and conditions. An asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term is recognized that consists of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, any initial direct cost incurred by the Group and any restoration costs. After commencement of the lease, each lease payment is allocated between lease liability and finance costs. The finance costs are recognized over the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the lease liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. Payments associated with short-term leases are recognized as lease expenses on a straight-line basis over the period of the leases. Leasehold land is accounted under IFRS 16. (u) Government Incentives Incentives from government are recognized at their fair values where there is a reasonable assurance that the incentives will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. Government incentives relating to costs are deferred and recognized in the consolidated income statements over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate. Government grants relating to property, plant and equipment are included in non-current liabilities as deferred income and credited to the consolidated income statements on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related assets. (v) Revenue and Income Recognition The Group principally generates revenue from sales of goods. Revenue from sales of goods is recognized when the customer takes possession of the goods. This usually occurs upon completed delivery of the goods to the customer site. The amount of revenue recognized is adjusted for expected sales incentives as stipulated in the contract, which are generally issued to customers as direct discounts at the point-of-sale or indirectly in the form of rebates. Sales incentives are estimated using the expected value method. Additionally, sales are generally made with a limited right of return under certain conditions. Revenues are recorded net of provisions for sales discounts and returns. Revenue from provision of services is recognized when the benefits of the services transfer to the customer over time, which is based on the proportionate value of services rendered as determined under the terms of the relevant contract. Additionally, when the amounts that can be invoiced correspond directly with the value to the customer for performance completed to date, the Group recognizes revenue from provision of services based on amounts that can be invoiced to the customer. Payments in advance from customers are deferred if consideration is received in advance of transferring control of the goods or rendering of services. Accounts receivable is recognized if the Group has an unconditional right to bill the customer, which is generally when the customer takes possession of the goods or services are rendered. Payment terms differ by subsidiary and customer, but generally range from 45 to 180 days from the invoice date. (w) Interest Income Interest income is recognized on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method. F-89 (x) Segment Reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-makers. The Company’s Board of Directors, which is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the steering committee that makes strategic decisions. (y) General Reserves In accordance with the laws applicable to Foreign Investment Enterprises established in the PRC, the Company makes appropriations to certain non-distributable reserve funds including the general reserve fund, the enterprise expansion fund and the staff bonus and welfare fund. The amount of appropriations to these funds are made at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. 3. Financial Risk Management (a) Financial Risk Factors The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group does not use any derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. (i) Credit risk The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables (including bills receivables) and other receivables included in the consolidated statements of financial position represent the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk of the counterparty in relation to its financial assets. Substantially all of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents are deposited in major financial institutions, which management believes are of high credit quality. Bills receivables are mostly settled by state-owned banks or other reputable banks and therefore the management considers that they will not expose the Group to any significant credit risk. The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk. The Group has policies in place to ensure that the sales of products are made to customers with appropriate credit history and the Group performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers. Management periodically assesses the recoverability of trade receivables and other receivables. The Group’s historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on specific factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables, and historical experience collecting receivables falls within the recorded allowances. (ii) Liquidity risk Prudent liquidity management implies maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents and the availability of funding when necessary. The Group’s policy is to regularly monitor current and expected liquidity requirements to ensure that it maintains sufficient cash balances and adequate credit facilities to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and long term. As at September 28, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Group’s current financial liabilities were mainly due for settlement within twelve months and the Group expects to meet all liquidity requirements. As at September 28, 2021, the Group’s consolidated current liabilities exceed the consolidated current assets by US$32.0 million, which was mainly attributable to current dividends payable to shareholders (refer to Note 24(b)), for which settlement will occur when sufficient cash and cash equivalents are available. In assessing the Group’s liquidity, management prepared a cash flow forecast up to December 31, 2022 taking into consideration of ongoing operations and the settlement of the current dividends payable, which indicates that the Group will have sufficient cash resources to fund planned operations and other commitments for at least the next twelve months (the look-forward period used). F-90 (b) Capital Risk Management The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. The Group regularly reviews and manages its capital structure to ensure an optimal balance between higher shareholders’ return that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position, and makes adjustments to the capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions. The Group monitors capital on the basis of the liabilities to assets ratio. This ratio is calculated as total liabilities divided by total assets as shown on the consolidated statements of financial position. Currently, it is the Group’s strategy to maintain a reasonable liabilities to assets ratio. The liabilities to assets ratio as at September 28, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was as follows: Total liabilities (note) Total assets Liabilities to assets ratio September 28, December 31, 2021 2020 (in US$’000) 237,352 284,840 153,213 273,581 83.3 % 56.0 % Note: On May 13, 2021 and September 23, 2021, the Company declared dividends to shareholders of US$46.5 million and US$59.7 million respectively, which were not settled as at September 28, 2021. (c) Fair Value Estimation The Group does not have any financial assets or liabilities which are carried at fair value. The carrying amounts of the Group’s current financial assets, including cash and cash equivalents, trade and bills receivables and other receivables, and current financial liabilities, including trade payables, and other payables and accruals and dividend payable, approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities. The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial instruments carried at cost or amortized cost are not materially different from their fair values. The face values less any estimated credit adjustments for financial assets and liabilities with a maturity of less than one year are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments. 4. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements Note 2 includes a summary of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The preparation of consolidated financial statements often requires the use of judgements to select specific accounting methods and policies from several acceptable alternatives. Furthermore, significant estimates and assumptions concerning the future may be required in selecting and applying those methods and policies in the consolidated financial statements. The Group bases its estimates and judgements on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates and judgements under different assumptions or conditions. The following is a review of the more significant assumptions and estimates, as well as the accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. (a) Sales Rebates Certain sales rebates are provided to customers when their business performance for the whole year meets certain criteria as stipulated in the contracts. Sales rebates are considered variable consideration and the estimate of sales rebates during the year is based on estimated sales transactions for the entire period stipulated and is subject to change based on actual performance and collection status. F-91 (b) Useful Lives of Property, Plant and Equipment The Group has made substantial investments in property, plant and equipment. Changes in technology or changes in the intended use of these assets may cause the estimated period of use or value of these assets to change. (c) Impairment of Non-financial Assets The Group tests at least annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment. Other non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount in accordance with the accounting policy stated in Note 2(l). The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is determined based on the higher of the asset’s or the cash-generating unit’s fair value less costs to disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use calculation requires the entity to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the asset and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value, and the growth rate assumptions in the cash flow projections which has been prepared on the basis of management’s assumptions and estimates. (d) Deferred Income Tax Deferred tax is recognized using the liability method on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax losses and tax credits can be utilized. Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Where the final outcomes are different from the estimations, such differences will impact the carrying amount of deferred tax in the period in which such determination is made. 5. Revenue and Segment Information Management has reviewed the Group’s internal reporting in order to assess performance and allocate resources, and has determined that the Group has two reportable operating segments as follows: —Manufacturing business—manufacture and distribution of drug products —Distribution business—provision of sales, distribution and marketing services to pharmaceutical manufacturers The operating segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each business requires different technology and marketing approaches. The performance of each of the reportable segments is assessed based on operating profit. The segment information is as follows: Period from January 1, 2021 to September 28, 2021 Distribution business PRC Manufacturing business PRC Total Revenue from external customers Interest income Operating profit Share of profits of a joint venture and associated companies, net of tax Finance costs Depreciation/amortization Additions to non‑current assets (other than financial instruments and deferred tax assets) 190,619 141 18,212 29 18 5,515 2,405 (in US$’000) 18,909 64 2,076 — 6 98 — 209,528 205 20,288 29 24 5,613 2,405 F-92 Total segment assets 251,178 33,662 284,840 Manufacturing business PRC As at September 28, 2021 Distribution business PRC (in US$’000) Total Manufacturing business PRC Year Ended December 31, 2020 Distribution business PRC Revenue from external customers Interest income Operating profit Share of losses of a joint venture and associated companies, net of tax Finance costs Depreciation/amortization Additions to non‑current assets (other than financial instruments and deferred tax assets) 215,427 188 20,833 84 51 6,361 2,432 Manufacturing business PRC (in US$’000) 16,941 83 2,312 — 6 123 1 December 31, 2020 Distribution business PRC (in US$’000) Total 232,368 271 23,145 84 57 6,484 2,433 Total Total segment assets 243,578 30,003 273,581 Manufacturing business PRC Year Ended December 31, 2019 Distribution business PRC Revenue from external customers Interest income Operating profit Share of profits of a joint venture and associated companies, net of tax Finance costs Depreciation/amortization Additions to non‑current assets (other than financial instruments and deferred tax assets) 202,852 76 21,738 60 40 6,411 4,002 (in US$’000) 12,551 84 1,182 — 19 125 — Total 215,403 160 22,920 60 59 6,536 4,002 Revenue from external customers is after elimination of inter-segment sales.

Sales between segments are carried out at mutually agreed terms. Revenue from external customers is primarily for sales of goods which are recognized at a point in time, except for provision of services which are recognized over time of US$1.2 million for the period from January 1, 2021 to September 28, 2021 (for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019: US$3.7 million and US$3.1 million respectively) and included in the manufacturing business operating segment.

In June 2021, the Group received a completion confirmation from the government and recognized an additional land compensation bonus of RMB110.3 million (approximately US$17.0 million), resulting in a gain of RMB106.8 million (approximately US$16.4 million), after deducting costs of RMB3.5 million (approximately US$0.6 million). As at September 28, 2021, the Group has received RMB584.6 million (approximately US$86.6 million) and has recorded RMB94.9 million (approximately US$14.6 million) in other receivables, prepayments and deposits. 9.

PAST PERFORMANCE AND FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS The performance and results of operations of the Group contained within this Annual Report are historical in nature, and past performance is no guarantee of future results of the Group. This Annual Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can be identified by words like “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “pipeline,” “could,” “potential,” “first-in-class,” “best-in-class,” “designed to,” “objective,” “guidance,” “pursue,” or similar terms, or by express or implied discussions regarding potential drug candidates, potential indications for drug candidates or by discussions of strategy, plans, expectations or intentions. You should not place undue reliance on these statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on the current beliefs and expectations of management regarding future events, and are subject to significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. There can be no guarantee that any of our drug candidates will be approved for sale in any market, or that any approvals which are obtained will be obtained at any particular time, or that any such drug candidates will achieve any particular revenue or net income levels. In particular, management’s expectations could be affected by, among other things: unexpected regulatory actions or delays or government regulation generally; the uncertainties inherent in research and development, including the inability to meet our key study assumptions regarding enrollment rates, timing and availability of subjects meeting a study’s inclusion and exclusion criteria and funding requirements, changes to clinical protocols, unexpected adverse events or safety, quality or manufacturing issues; the inability of a drug candidate to meet the primary or secondary endpoint of a study; the inability of a drug candidate to obtain regulatory approval in different jurisdictions or gain commercial acceptance after obtaining regulatory approval; global trends toward health care cost containment, including ongoing pricing pressures; uncertainties regarding actual or potential legal proceedings, including, among others, actual or potential product liability litigation, litigation and investigations regarding sales and marketing practices, intellectual property disputes, and government investigations generally; and general economic and industry conditions, including uncertainties regarding the effects of the persistently weak economic and financial environment in many countries, uncertainties regarding future global exchange rates and uncertainties regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. For further discussion of these and other risks, see HUTCHMED’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, on AIM and on HKEX.
