References herein to the issuance of Ordinary Shares shall also refer to the issuance of ADSs on the same basis of one ADS for every 13 Ordinary Shares.

1.Exercisability Schedule.  No portion of this Share Option may be exercised until such portion shall have become exercisable.  Except as set forth below, and subject to the discretion of the Administrator (as described in Section 2 of the Plan) to accelerate the following exercisability schedule, this Share Option shall be exercisable with respect to the following number of Option Shares on the dates indicated so long as the Optionee has served continuously as an employee or Consultant of the Company or a Subsidiary on such dates:
						
	Incremental Number of
Option Shares Exercisable
	Exercisability Date
	_____________ (___%)	____________
	_____________ (___%)	____________
	_____________ (___%)	____________
	_____________ (___%)	____________
	_____________ (___%)	____________


In determining the number of vested Option Shares at the time of any exercise, the number of Option Shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole ADS or the nearest increment of 13 Ordinary Shares.
Once exercisable, this Share Option shall continue to be exercisable at any time or times prior to the close of business on the Expiration Date, subject to the provisions hereof and of the Plan.
2.Manner of Exercise.
(a)The Optionee may exercise this Share Option only in the following manner: from time to time on or prior to the Expiration Date of this Share Option, the Optionee may give written notice to the Administrator of Optionee’s election to purchase some or all of the Option Shares purchasable at the time of such notice.  This notice shall specify the number of Option Shares to be purchased.
Payment of the aggregate Option Exercise Price per Share may be made by one or more of the following methods: (i) in cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the Administrator; (ii) through the delivery (or attestation to the ownership) of Ordinary Shares that have been purchased by the Optionee on the open market or that are beneficially owned by the Optionee and are not then subject to any restrictions under any Company plan and that otherwise satisfy any holding periods as may be required by the Administrator; (iii) by the Optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Company to pay the aggregate Option Exercise Price per Share, provided that in the event the Optionee chooses to pay the aggregate Option Exercise Price per Share as so provided, the Optionee and the broker shall comply with such procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the Administrator shall prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure; (iv) if permitted by the Administrator, by a “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise by the largest whole number of Ordinary Shares with a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate Option Exercise Price per Share; or (v) a combination of (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above.  Payment instruments will be received subject to collection.
    2
Version: October 2022






The transfer to the Optionee on the records of the Company or of the transfer agent of the Option Shares will be contingent upon (i) the Company’s receipt from the Optionee of the aggregate Option Exercise Price per Share, as set forth above, (ii) the fulfillment of any other requirements contained herein or in the Plan or in any other agreement or provision of law, and (iii) the receipt by the Company of any agreement, statement or other evidence that the Company may require to satisfy itself that the issuance of Ordinary Shares to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of Share Options under the Plan and any subsequent resale of the Ordinary Shares will be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.  In the event the Optionee chooses to pay the aggregate Option Exercise Price per Share by previously-owned Ordinary Shares through the attestation method, the number of Ordinary Shares transferred to the Optionee upon the exercise of the Share Option shall be net of the Ordinary Shares attested to.
(b)The Ordinary Shares purchased upon exercise of this Share Option shall be transferred to the Optionee on the records of the Company or of the transfer agent upon compliance to the satisfaction of the Administrator with all requirements under applicable laws or regulations in connection with such transfer and with the requirements hereof and of the Plan.  The determination of the Administrator as to such compliance shall be final and binding on the Optionee.  The Optionee shall not be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any Ordinary Shares subject to this Share Option unless and until this Share Option shall have been exercised pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company or the transfer agent shall have transferred the Ordinary Shares to the Optionee, and the Optionee’s name shall have been entered as the shareholder of record on the books of the Company.  Thereupon, the Optionee shall have full voting, dividend and other ownership rights with respect to such Ordinary Shares.
(c)The minimum number of Ordinary Shares with respect to which this Share Option may be exercised at any one time shall be 104 Ordinary Shares and shall be exercised in increments of 13 Ordinary Shares, unless the number of Ordinary Shares with respect to which this Share Option is being exercised is the total number of Ordinary Shares subject to exercise under this Share Option at the time.
(d)Notwithstanding any other provision hereof or of the Plan, no portion of this Share Option shall be exercisable after the Expiration Date.
3.Termination of Employment.  
(a)If the Optionee’s employment by the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated, the period within which to exercise the Share Option may be subject to earlier termination as set forth below.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Optionee ceases to be an employee prior to any scheduled Exercisability Date, the Optionee will not earn or be entitled to any pro-rated vesting for any portion of time before the respective Exercisability Date during which the Optionee was an employee, nor will the Optionee be entitled to any compensation for lost vesting.  However, a change in the Optionee’s status from employee to Consultant will not be deemed a termination of employment for purposes of the Share Options.

Version: October 2022






(b)For purposes of this Share Option, the Optionee’s employment shall be considered terminated as of the date the Optionee is no longer actively employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of applicable laws in the jurisdiction where the Optionee is employed or the terms of the Optionee’s employment agreement, if any) and such date will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., the date would not be delayed by any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under applicable or other laws in the jurisdiction where the Optionee is employed or the terms of the Optionee’s employment agreement, if any).  The Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Optionee is no longer actively employed for purposes of the Share Option (including whether the Optionee may still be considered to be employed while on a leave of absence).
(c)Termination Due to Death.  If the Optionee’s employment terminates by reason of the Optionee’s death, any portion of this Share Option outstanding on such date, to the extent exercisable on the date of death, may be exercised by the Optionee’s legal representative or legatee for a period of 12 months after the date of death or until the Expiration Date, if earlier.  Any portion of this Share Option that is not exercisable on the date of death shall terminate immediately and be of no further force or effect.
(d)Termination Due to Disability.  If the Optionee’s employment terminates by reason of the Optionee’s disability (as determined by the Administrator), any portion of this Share Option outstanding on such date, to the extent exercisable on the date of such termination of employment, may be exercised by the Optionee for a period of 12 months after the date of disability or until the Expiration Date, if earlier.  Any portion of this Share Option that is not exercisable on the date of disability shall terminate immediately and be of no further force or effect.
(e)Termination for Cause.  If the Optionee’s employment terminates for Cause, any portion of this Share Option outstanding on such date shall terminate immediately and be of no further force and effect.  For purposes hereof, “Cause” shall mean, unless otherwise provided in an employment agreement between the Company and the Optionee, a determination by the Administrator that the Optionee shall be dismissed as a result of (i) any material breach by the Optionee of any agreement between the Optionee and the Company; (ii) the conviction of, indictment for or plea of nolo contendere by the Optionee to a felony (or crime of similar magnitude under non-U.S. laws) or a crime involving moral turpitude; or (iii) any material misconduct or willful and deliberate non-performance (other than by reason of disability) by the Optionee of the Optionee’s duties to the Company.
(f)Other Termination.  If the Optionee’s employment terminates for any reason other than the Optionee’s death, the Optionee’s disability or Cause, and unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, any portion of this Share Option outstanding on such date may be exercised, to the extent exercisable on the date of termination, for a period of three months after the date of termination or until the Expiration Date, if earlier.  Any portion of this Share Option that is not exercisable on the date of termination shall terminate immediately and be of no further force or effect.
The Administrator’s determination of the reason for termination of the Optionee’s employment shall be conclusive and binding on the Optionee and Optionee’s representatives or legatees.
4.Incorporation of Plan.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Share Option shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan, including the powers of the Administrator set forth in Section 2(b) of the Plan.

Version: October 2022






5.Transferability.  This Agreement is personal to the Optionee, is non-assignable and is not transferable in any manner, by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  This Share Option is exercisable, during the Optionee’s lifetime, only by the Optionee, and thereafter, only by the Optionee’s legal representative or legatee.
6.Responsibility for Taxes.  The Optionee acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Subsidiary employing the Optionee (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Optionee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable or deemed legally applicable to the Optionee (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains the Optionee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Employer.  The Optionee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this Share Option, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of this Share Option, the subsequent sale of Ordinary Shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of this Share Option to reduce or eliminate the Optionee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if the Optionee is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Optionee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(a)In connection with any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Optionee agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, the Optionee authorizes the Company (or its designated agent) to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by withholding from the proceeds of the sale of Ordinary Shares acquired upon exercise of this Share Option either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Optionee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent).  As of the date hereof, the Optionee certifies that this Agreement is entered into in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act or any other securities laws.   
(b)     Alternatively, the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, are authorized to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by (i) withholding from the Optionee’s salary, wages or other cash compensation payable to the Optionee by the Company, the Employer and/or any other Subsidiary; or (ii) withholding from Ordinary Shares to be issued to the Optionee upon exercise of this Share Option; or (iii) any other method of withholding determined by the Company and permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that that if the Optionee is an officer of the Company under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, then Tax-Related Items, if any, shall be withheld as described in subsection (a) of this Paragraph 6.


    5
Version: October 2022






(c)    Depending on the withholding method, the Company and/or the Employer may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum rates applicable in the Optionee’s jurisdiction(s).  In the event of over-withholding, the Optionee may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash (with no entitlement to the equivalent in Ordinary Shares), or if not refunded, the Optionee may seek a refund from local tax authorities.  In the event of under-withholding, the Optionee may be required to pay any additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company and/or the Employer.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding from Ordinary Shares, for tax purposes, the Optionee will be deemed to have been issued the full number of Ordinary Shares subject to the this Share Option, notwithstanding that a number of the Ordinary Shares is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
(d)    While this Agreement is in effect, the Optionee agrees (i) not to enter into or alter any corresponding or hedging transaction or position with respect to the securities covered by this Agreement (including, without limitation, with respect to any securities convertible or exchangeable into Ordinary Shares) and (ii) not to attempt to exercise any influence over how, when or whether to effect the withholding and sale of Ordinary Shares pursuant to this Paragraph 6.  The Optionee agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Ordinary Shares, or the proceeds of the sale of Ordinary Shares, if the Optionee fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
7.No Obligation to Continue Employment or Other Service.  Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is obligated by or as a result of the Plan or this Agreement to continue the Optionee in employment or other service and neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall interfere in any way with the right of the Employer to terminate the employment of the Optionee at any time.
8.Integration.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to this Share Option and supersedes all prior agreements and discussions between the parties concerning such subject matter.
9.Nature of Grant.  By accepting the Award, the Optionee acknowledges, understands and agrees that:
(a)the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature, and may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;
(b)the grant of this Share Option is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Share Options, or benefits in lieu of Share Options, even if Options have been granted in the past;
(c)all decisions with respect to future share options or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(d)the Optionee is voluntarily participating in the Plan;
(e)the grant of this Share Option does not establish an employment or other service relationship between the Optionee and the Company; 
    6
Version: October 2022






(f)this Share Option and any Ordinary Shares subject to this Share Option, and the income from and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;
(g)unless otherwise agreed with the Company, this Share Option and the Ordinary Shares subject to this Share Option, and the income from and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service the Optionee may provide as a director of a Subsidiary;
(h)this Share Option and any Ordinary Shares subject to this Share Option, and the income from and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for any purpose, including, without limitation, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, holiday pay, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar mandatory payments;
(i)the future value of the Ordinary Shares underlying this Share Option is unknown, indeterminable, and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(j)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of this Share Option resulting from the termination of the Optionee’s employment (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Optionee is employed or the terms of the Optionee’s employment agreement, if any);
(k)unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, this Share Option and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have this Share Option or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Ordinary Shares; and
(l)neither the Company, the Employer nor any other Subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Optionee’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of this Share Option or of any amounts due to the Optionee pursuant to the exercise of this Share Option or the subsequent sale of any Ordinary Shares acquired upon exercise.
10.Appendix.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Global Share Option Award Agreement for Employees, if the Optionee resides in a country outside the United States or is otherwise subject to the laws of a country other than the United States, this Share Option shall be subject to the additional terms and conditions set forth in the Appendix for the Optionee’s country, if any.  Moreover, if the Optionee relocates to one of the countries or regions included in the Appendix during the term of this Share Option, the additional terms and conditions for such country shall apply to the Optionee, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons.  The Appendix forms part of this Agreement.  
11.Language.  The Optionee acknowledges that he or she is sufficiently proficient in the English language, or has consulted with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient in English, so as to allow the Optionee to understand the terms of this Agreement.  If the Optionee has received this Agreement, or any other documents related to this Share Option and/or the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

13.Waivers.  The Optionee acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by the Optionee or any other Optionee.  
14.Choice of Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Cayman Islands, applied without regard to conflict of law principles. 
15.Venue.  For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises directly or indirectly from the relationship of the parties evidenced by this Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Cayman Islands, and no other courts, where this grant is made and/or to be performed, and no other courts.

17.Imposition of Other Requirements.  The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on this Share Option and the Ordinary Shares acquired upon exercise of this Share Option, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Optionee to accept any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
18.Electronic Delivery and Acceptance.  The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means.

The Optionee further acknowledges that, depending on the Optionee’s country, the broker’s country or the country in which the Ordinary Shares or the ADSs are listed, the Optionee may be or may become subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws which may affect the Optionee’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Ordinary Shares, rights to Ordinary Shares (e.g., Share Option) or rights linked to the value of Ordinary Shares during such times as the Optionee is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in the applicable jurisdictions).  Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Optionee placed before the Optionee possessed inside information.  Furthermore, the Optionee could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party, which may include fellow employees and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities.  Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any Company’s insider trading policy as may be in effect from time to time.

APPENDIX
GLOBAL SHARE OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT
FOR EMPLOYEES
UNDER BEIGENE, LTD.
2016 SHARE OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN
Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix shall have the same meanings assigned to them in the Plan and/or the Global Share Option Award Agreement for Employees (the “Agreement”).
Terms and Conditions
This Appendix includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Share Options if the Optionee works and/or resides in one of the countries or regions listed below.  If the Optionee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Optionee is currently working and/or residing (or is considered as such for local law purposes), or the Optionee transfers employment and/or residency to a different country after the Share Options are granted, the Company will, in its discretion, determine the extent to which the terms and conditions contained herein will apply to the Optionee. 
Notifications 
This Appendix also includes information regarding certain other issues of which the Optionee should be aware with respect to the Optionee’s participation in the Plan.  The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries or regions as of April 2022.  Such laws are often complex and change frequently.  As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Optionee not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of participation in the Plan because the information may be out-of-date at the time the Optionee exercises the Share Options or sells any Ordinary Shares acquired under the Plan.  
In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Optionee’s particular situation.  As a result, the Company is not in a position to assure the Optionee of any particular result.  Accordingly, the Optionee is strongly advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Optionee’s country may apply to the Optionee’s individual situation.
If the Optionee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Optionee is currently working and/or residing (or is considered as such for local law purposes), or if the Optionee transfers employment and/or residency to a different country after the Share Option is granted, the notifications contained in this Appendix may not be applicable to the Optionee in the same manner.

DATA PRIVACY PROVISIONS FOR ALL EMPLOYEES
(a) Data Collection, Processing and Usage.  The Company collects, processes, and uses certain personally-identifiable information about the Optionee; specifically, including the Optionee’s name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance, passport or other identification number, salary, citizenship, job title, any Ordinary Shares or directorships held in the Company, and details of all Share Options or any other equity awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in the Optionee’s favor (“Data”), which the Company receives from the Optionee or the Employer. In granting the Share Options under the Plan, the Company will collect the Optionee’s Data for purposes of allocating Ordinary Shares and implementing, administering and managing the Plan.  The Company collects, processes and uses the Optionee’s Data pursuant to the Company’s legitimate interest of managing the Plan and generally administering employee equity awards and to satisfy its contractual obligations under the terms of the Agreement.  


(b) Stock Plan Administration Service Provider.  The Company transfers Data to Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, LLC and certain of its affiliates (“MSSB”), an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.  In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and share the Optionee’s Data with another company that serves in a similar manner.  MSSB will open an account for the Optionee to receive and trade Ordinary Shares acquired under the Plan.  The Optionee will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with MSSB, which is a condition to the Optionee’s ability to participate in the Plan.


(c) International Data Transfers.  The Company is incorporated in the Cayman Islands and operates globally through various Subsidiaries.  MSSB is based in the United States.  The Company can only meet its contractual obligations to the Optionee if the Optionee’s Data is transferred to the Company and MSSB.  The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of the Optionee’s Data is to satisfy its contractual obligations under the terms of the Agreement and/or its use of the standard data protection clauses adopted by the EU Commission.


(d) Data Retention.  The Company will use the Optionee’s Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Optionee’s participation in the Plan or as required to comply with applicable laws, exercise or defense of legal rights, and archiving, back-up and deletion processes.  This means the Company may retain the Optionee’s Data after the Optionee’s employment relationship has terminated.  When the Company no longer needs the Optionee’s Data, the Company will remove it from its systems to the fullest extent practicable.  If the Company keeps the Optionee’s Data longer, it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and the Company’s legal basis would be for compliance with relevant laws or regulations.


(e) Data Subject Rights.  The Optionee may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in the Optionee’s country of residence.  For example, the Optionee’s rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of Data the Company processes, (ii) request rectification of incorrect Data, (iii) request deletion of Data, (iv) place restrictions on processing, (v) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Optionee’s country of residence, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Optionee’s Data.  To receive clarification regarding the Optionee’s rights or to exercise the Optionee’s rights, the Optionee should contact the Company’s local human resources department.

NEW ZEALAND
Notifications
Securities Law Information.  The Optionee is being offered a Share Option which, if vested, will entitle the Optionee to acquire Ordinary Shares in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the Plan.  The Ordinary Shares, if issued, will give the Optionee a stake in the ownership of the Company.  The Optionee may receive a return if dividends are paid.
If the Company runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, the Optionee will be paid only after all creditors and holders of preference shares (if any) have been paid.  The Optionee may lose some or all of the Optionee’s investment, if any.
New Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest.  This information is designed to help investors to make an informed decision.  The usual rules do not apply to this offer because it is made under an employee share scheme.  As a result, the Optionee may not be given all the information usually required.  The Optionee will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment.  The Optionee is advised to ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing.
The Ordinary Shares (in the form of ADSs) are quoted on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.  This means that if the Optionee acquires Ordinary Shares under the Plan, the Optionee may be able to sell the Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market if there are interested buyers.  The Optionee may get less than the Optionee invested.  The price will depend on the demand for the Ordinary Shares.
For information on risk factors impacting the Company’s business that may affect the value of the Ordinary Shares, the Optionee should refer to the risk factors discussion on the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and are available online at www.sec.gov, as well as on the Company’s “Investor Relations” website at http://ir.beigene.com/.

I henhold til § 3, stk. 1, i lov om brug af køberet eller tegningsret til aktier m.v. i ansættelsesforhold som ændret med virkning fra 1. januar 2019 (“Aktieoptionsloven”) er Optionsmodtager berettiget til i en særskilt skriftlig erklæring (“Arbejdsgivererklæringen”) at modtage følgende oplysninger om den Share Option (“Optionen”), som Optionsmodtager har fået tildelt af BeiGene, Ltd. (“Selskabet”) i henhold til BeiGene, Ltd. 2016 Share Option and Incentive Plan (“Planen”).


Denne Arbejdsgivererklæring indeholder oplysninger, som gælder for Optionsmodtagers deltagelse i Planen, og som er krævet i henhold til Aktieoptionsloven. De øvrige kriterier og betingelser for Optionen er nærmere beskrevet i Global Non-Qualified Share Option Agreement for Employees (“Aftalen”) og i Planen, som begge er gjort tilgængelige for Optionsmodtager. 


Begreber, der står med stort begyndelsesbogstav i denne Arbejdsgivererklæring, men som ikke er defineret heri, har den i Planen eller Aftalen anførte betydning.


1.Tildelingstidspunkt


Tildelingstidspunktet for Optionen er den dato, hvor Administratoren godkendte en tildeling til Optionsmodtager og besluttede, at tildelingen skulle træde i kraft, hvilken dato er anført i Aftalen.
2.Kriterier eller betingelser for tildelingen af Optionen


Tildelingen af en Option i henhold til Planen sker efter Selskabets eget skøn. Medarbejdere i Selskabet og dets Datterselskaber er berettigede til at modtage tildelinger i henhold til Planen. Administratoren har vide beføjelser til at bestemme, hvem der skal modtage en Option, samt til at fastsætte betingelserne for Optionen. Selskabet kan frit vælge fremover ikke at tildele Optioner til Optionsmodtager. I henhold til bestemmelserne i Planen og Aftalen har Optionsmodtager ikke hverken ret til eller krav på fremover at få tildelt Optioner.


3.Udnyttelsestidspunkt eller -periode


Optionen modnes og vil kunne udnyttes som fastsat i Aftalen.  Optionen vil forblive udnyttelig, indtil den er blevet udnyttet eller Udløbsdatoen. Optionen kan under ingen omstændigheder udnyttes efter Udløbsdatoen.


4.Udnyttelseskurs


Optionen kan i udnyttelsesperioden udnyttes til at købe Ordinære Aktier til en af Administratoren fastsat kurs som anført i Aftalen.  Kursen skal som minimum svare til Markedskursen for Ordinære Aktier på datoen for tildeling af Optionen som fastsat i henhold til Planen.


5.Optionsmodtagers retsstilling i forbindelse med fratræden


I tilfælde af din fratræden vil Optionen blive behandlet i overensstemmelse med ophørsbestemmelserne i Aftalen, der er opsummeret nedenfor. Såfremt der er 








uoverensstemmelse mellem bestemmelserne i Aftalen og nedenstående opsummering, er det Aftalens bestemmelser, der er gældende.


I tilfælde af ophør af Optionsmodtagers ansættelses- eller tjenesteforhold i Selskabskoncernen fortabes eventuelle umodnede Optioner, og eventuelle modnede Optioner vil efter udløb af en i Aftalen anført periode ikke længere kunne udnyttes.


6.Økonomiske aspekter ved deltagelse i Planen


Tildelingen af Optionen har ingen umiddelbare økonomiske konsekvenser for Optionsmodtager. Værdien af Optionen indgår ikke i beregningen af fratrædelsesgodtgørelser, bonusbetalinger, feriepenge, anciennitetsgodtgørelser, pensionsydelser, sociale ydelser eller andre lignende betalinger.
Ordinære Aktier er finansielle instrumenter, og investering i aktier vil altid være forbundet med en økonomisk risiko. Den fremtidige værdi af Ordinære Aktier kendes ikke og kan ikke forudsiges med sikkerhed.
