* The stock options are exercisable for ADSs, and each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one ADS. The actual number of ADSs granted was determined by dividing the corresponding allocation of the target value by a 30-trading-day average of the closing price of our common stock (“30-Day Average”). The target award value differs from the amounts reported in the 2024 Summary Compensation Table as SEC rules require that the amounts reported in the 2024 Summary Compensation Table be reported based on the grant date fair value calculated in accordance with accounting rules, which is based on the stock price on the date of grant. Additional details on amounts of the 2024 equity grants to our named executive officers are shown in Executive Compensation Tables – 2024 Grants of Plan-Based Awards .

** Dr. Du’s annual RSU award was granted in two tranches in 2024, as shown in Executive Compensation Tables – 2024 Grants of Plan-Based Awards.
