Pursuant to the BeiGene, Ltd. 2016 Share Option and Incentive Plan as amended through the Grant Date (the “Plan”), and this Global Restricted share Unit Award Agreement for Consultants, including any additional terms and conditions for the Grantee’s country set forth in the appendix attached hereto (the “Appendix” and together with the Global Restricted Share Unit Award Agreement, the “Agreement”) BeiGene, Ltd., an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability, (the “Company”) hereby grants an award of the number of Restricted Share Units listed above (an “Award”) to the Grantee named above.  Each Restricted Share Unit shall relate to one ordinary share, par value US$0.0001 per share of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares”).  The Ordinary Shares may be represented by American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), and each ADS represents 13 Ordinary Shares. 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.  Capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning specified in the Plan, unless defined differently herein. 
1.    Restrictions on Transfer of Award.  This Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by the Grantee, and any Ordinary Shares issuable with respect to the Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of until (i) the Restricted Share Units have vested as provided in Paragraph 2 of this Agreement and (ii) Ordinary Shares have been issued to the Grantee in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. 
2.    Vesting of Restricted Share Units.  The restrictions and conditions of Paragraph 1 of this Agreement shall lapse on the date(s) specified in the following schedule (the “Vesting Date”) so long as the Grantee remains in a service relationship as a Consultant or employee of the Company or a Subsidiary until and on such dates.  If a series of Vesting Dates is specified, then the restrictions and conditions in Paragraph 1 shall lapse only with respect to the number of Restricted Share Units specified as vested on such date.

The Administrator may at any time accelerate the vesting schedule specified in this Paragraph 2. 


Version: June 2022






3.    Termination of Service Relationship as a Consultant.
    (a)    If the Grantee’s service relationship with the Company or a Subsidiary as a Consultant terminates for any reason (including death or disability) prior to the satisfaction of the vesting conditions set forth in Paragraph 2 above, any Restricted Share Units that have not vested as of such date shall automatically and without notice terminate and be forfeited, and neither the Grantee nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such unvested Restricted Share Units.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Grantee’s service relationship with the Company or a Subsidiary as a Consultant terminates prior to any scheduled Vesting Date, the Grantee will not earn or be entitled to any pro-rated vesting for any portion of time before the respective Vesting Date during which the Grantee was a Consultant, nor will the Grantee be entitled to any compensation for lost vesting.  However, a change in the Grantee’s status from Consultant to employee will not be deemed a termination of service for purposes of the Restricted Share Units.
    (b)    For purposes of the Restricted Share Units, the Grantee’s service relationship as a Consultant shall be considered terminated as of the date the Grantee is no longer actively providing services to 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 Grantee is rendering services as a Consultant or the terms of the Grantee’s service 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 laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee is rendering services as a Consultant or the terms of the Grantee’s service agreement, if any).  The Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Grantee is no longer actively providing services for purposes of the Restricted Share Units (including whether the Grantee may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence).
4.    Issuance of Ordinary Shares.  As soon as practicable following the Vesting Date (but in no event later than two and one-half (2.5) months after the end of the year in which the Vesting Date occurs), the Company shall issue to the Grantee the number of Ordinary Shares equal to the aggregate number of Restricted Share Units that have vested pursuant to Paragraph 2 of this Agreement on such date and the Grantee shall thereafter have all the rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to such Ordinary Shares. 
5.    Incorporation of Plan.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement 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. 
6.    Responsibility for Taxes.  The Grantee acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Subsidiary retaining the Grantee (the “Service Recipient”), 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 Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable or deemed legally applicable to the Grantee (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Service Recipient.  The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Service Recipient (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Share Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Share Units, the subsequent sale of Ordinary Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement 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 the Restricted Share Units to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if the Grantee is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Service Recipient (or former service recipient, 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 Grantee agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Service Recipient to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, the Grantee 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 the sale of Ordinary Shares acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Share Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Grantee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent).  As of the date hereof, the Grantee certifies that this Agreement is entered into in good faith and not part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act or any other securities law.

(b)Alternatively, the Company and/or the Service Recipient, 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 Grantee’s cash compensation payable to the Grantee by the Company, the Service Recipient and/or any other Subsidiary; or (ii) withholding from Ordinary Shares to be issued to the Grantee upon settlement of the Restricted Share Units; or (iii) any other method of withholding determined by the Company and permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that if the Grantee 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; provided further, however, that the foregoing will not apply if and to the extent the Administrator permits the Grantee to make an election to satisfy tax withholding pursuant to a different method in accordance with the Statement of Company Policy on Insider Trading and Disclosure and Special Trading Procedures for Insiders and such other policies and procedures the Administrator may implement from time to time.  
(c)Depending on the withholding method, the Company and/or the Service Recipient may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum rates applicable in the Grantee's jurisdiction(s).  In the event of over-withholding, the Grantee 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 Grantee may seek a refund from local tax authorities.  In the event of under-withholding, the Grantee may be required to pay any additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company and/or the Service Recipient.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding from Ordinary Shares, for tax purposes, the Grantee will be deemed to have been issued the full number of Ordinary Shares subject to the vested Restricted Share Units, 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 Grantee 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, except and only to the extent permitted by the Company.  The Grantee agrees to pay to the Company or the Service Recipient any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Service Recipient may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Grantee’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 Grantee fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
7.    Section 409A of the Code.  This Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner that all provisions relating to the settlement of the Award are exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code as “short-term deferrals” as described in Section 409A of the Code. 
8.    No Obligation to Continue Service Relationship.  Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is obligated by or as a result of the Plan or this Agreement to continue the Grantee in a service relationship with the Company or a Subsidiary and neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall interfere in any way with the right of the Service Recipient to terminate the service relationship of the Grantee at any time. 
9.    Nature of Grant.  By accepting the Award, the Grantee 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 the Restricted Share Units is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Restricted Share Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Share Units, even if Restricted Share Units have been granted in the past;
(c)    all decisions with respect to future restricted share units or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(d)    the Grantee is voluntarily participating in the Plan;
(e)    the grant of the Restricted Share Units does not establish a service relationship between the Grantee and the Company;

    3








(f)    the future value of the Ordinary Shares underlying the Restricted Share Units is unknown, indeterminable, and cannot be predicted with certainty;
(g)    no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Restricted Share Units resulting from the termination of the Grantee’s service relationship (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of labor laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee is providing services or the terms of the Grantee’s service agreement, if any);
(h)    unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Restricted Share Units and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Restricted Share Units 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
(i)    neither the Company, the Service Recipient nor any other Subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Grantee’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Restricted Share Units or of any amounts due to the Grantee pursuant to the settlement of the Restricted Share Units or the subsequent sale of any Ordinary Shares acquired upon settlement.
10.    Integration.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to this Award and supersedes all prior agreements and discussions between the parties concerning such subject matter. 
11.    Appendix.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Global Restricted Share Unit Award Agreement for Consultants, if the Grantee resides in a country outside the United States or is otherwise subject to the laws of a country other than the United States, the Restricted Share Units shall be subject to the additional terms and conditions set forth in the Appendix for the Grantee’s country, if any.  Moreover, if the Grantee relocates to one of the countries or regions included in the Appendix during the term of the Restricted Share Units, the additional terms and conditions for such country shall apply to the Grantee, 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. 
12.    Language.  The Grantee acknowledges that he or she is sufficiently proficient in English, or has consulted with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient in English, so as to allow the Grantee to understand the terms of this Agreement.  If the Grantee has received this Agreement, or any other documents related to the Restricted Share Units 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.    Notices.  Notices hereunder shall be mailed or delivered to the Company at its principal place of business and shall be mailed or delivered to the Grantee at the address on file with the Company or, in either case, at such other address as one party may subsequently furnish to the other party in writing.
14.    Waivers.  The Grantee 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 Grantee or any other Grantee.  
15.    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. 
16.    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.    Severability.  The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.
18.    Imposition of Other Requirements.  The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Restricted Share Units and the Ordinary Shares acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Share Units, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Grantee to accept any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

19.    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 Grantee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company, or any third party designated by the Company.
20.    Insider Trading Restrictions / Market Abuse Laws.  By accepting the Restricted Share Units, the Grantee acknowledges that he or she is bound by all the terms and conditions of any Company insider trading policy as may be in effect from time to time.  The Grantee further acknowledges that, depending on the Grantee’s country, the broker’s country or the country in which the Ordinary Shares or ADSs are listed, the Grantee may be or may become subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws which may affect the Grantee’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Ordinary Shares, rights to Ordinary Shares (e.g., Restricted Share Units) or rights linked to the value of Ordinary Shares during such times as the Grantee 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 Grantee placed before the Grantee possessed inside information.  Furthermore, the Grantee could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party, which may include fellow service providers 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.  It is the Grantee’s responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and the Grantee should speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.
21.    Foreign Asset/Account, Exchange Control and Tax Reporting.  The Grantee may be subject to foreign asset/account, exchange control, tax reporting or other requirements which may affect the Grantee’s ability acquire or hold Restricted Share Units or Ordinary Shares under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including dividends and the proceeds arising from the sale of Ordinary Shares) in a brokerage/bank account outside the Grantee’s country.  The applicable laws of the Grantee’s country may require that he or she report such Restricted Share Units, Ordinary Shares, accounts, assets or transactions to the applicable authorities in such country and/or repatriate funds received in connection with the Plan to the Grantee’s country within a certain time period or according to certain procedures.  The Grantee is responsible for ensuring compliance with any applicable requirements and should consult his or her personal legal advisor to ensure compliance with applicable laws.

APPENDIX


GLOBAL RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
FOR CONSULTANTS
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 Restricted Share Unit Award Agreement for Consultants (the “RSU Agreement”).
Terms and Conditions
This Appendix includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Restricted Share Units if the Grantee works and/or resides in one of the countries or regions listed below.  If the Grantee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Grantee is currently working and/or residing (or is considered as such for local law purposes), or the Grantee transfers to a different country after the Restricted Share Units are granted, the Company will, in its discretion, determine the extent to which the terms and conditions contained herein will apply to the Grantee. 
Notifications 
This Appendix also includes information regarding certain other issues of which the Grantee should be aware with respect to the Grantee’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 Grantee 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 Grantee vests in the Restricted Share Units 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 Grantee’s particular situation.  As a result, the Company is not in a position to assure the Grantee of any particular result.  Accordingly, the Grantee is strongly advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Grantee’s country may apply to the Grantee’s individual situation.
If the Grantee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Grantee is currently working and/or residing (or is considered as such for local law purposes), or if the Grantee transfers residency to a different country after the Restricted Share Units are granted, the notifications contained in this Appendix may not be applicable to the Grantee in the same manner.

DATA PRIVACY PROVISIONS FOR ALL CONSULTANTS


(a)Data Collection, Processing and Usage.  The Company collects, processes, and uses certain personally-identifiable information about the Grantee; specifically, including the Grantee’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 Restricted Share Units or any other equity awards granted, canceled, exercised, vested, or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor (“Data”), which the Company receives from the Grantee or the Service Recipient. In granting the Restricted Share Units under the Plan, the Company will collect the Grantee’s Data for purposes of allocating Ordinary Shares and implementing, administering and managing the Plan.  The Company collects, processes and uses the Grantee’s Data pursuant to the Company’s legitimate interest of managing the Plan and generally administering 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 Grantee’s Data with another company that serves in a similar manner.  MSSB will open an account for the Grantee to receive and trade Ordinary Shares acquired under the Plan.  The Grantee will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with MSSB, which is a condition to the Grantee’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 Grantee if the Grantee’s Data is transferred to the Company and MSSB.  The Company’s legal basis for the transfer of the Grantee’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 Grantee’s Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Grantee’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 Grantee’s Data after the Grantee’s service relationship has terminated.  When the Company no longer needs the Grantee’s Data, the Company will remove it from its systems to the fullest extent practicable.  If the Company keeps the Grantee’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 Grantee may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in the Grantee’s country of residence.  For example, the Grantee’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 Grantee’s country of residence, and/or (vi) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Grantee’s Data.  To receive clarification regarding the Grantee’s rights or to exercise the Grantee’s rights, the Grantee should contact the Company’s human resources department.

CANADA


Terms and Conditions
Termination of Service Relationship as a Consultant.  The following provision replaces Paragraph 3(b) of the RSU Agreement:
For purposes of the Restricted Share Units, the Grantee’s service relationship as a Consultant shall be considered terminated (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of labor laws in the jurisdiction where the Grantee is rendering services or the terms of the Grantee’s service agreement, if any) as of the earlier of (1) the date the Grantee’s service relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary is terminated, or (2) the date the Grantee receives notice of termination of service.  In either case, the date shall exclude any period during which notice, pay in lieu of notice or related payments or damages are provided or required to be provided under local law.  For greater certainty, the Grantee will not earn or be entitled to any pro-rated vesting for that portion of time before the date on which the Grantee’s right to vest terminates, nor will the Grantee be entitled to any compensation for lost vesting.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable legislation explicitly requires continued entitlement to vesting during a statutory notice period, the Grantee’s right to vest in the Restricted Share Units under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the last day of the Grantee’s minimum statutory notice period, but the Grantee will not earn or be entitled to pro-rated vesting if the Vesting Date falls after the end of the Grantee’s statutory notice period, nor will the Grantee be entitled to any compensation for lost vesting.
The following provisions apply if the Grantee is a resident of Quebec:

Les parties reconnaissent avoir exigé la rédaction en anglais de cette convention (“Agreement”), ainsi que de tous documents, avis et procédures judiciaires, exécutés, donnés ou intentés en vertu de, ou liés directement ou indirectement à, la présente convention.
Data Privacy.  This provision supplements the Data Privacy Provisions for All Consultants paragraph in this Appendix:
The Grantee hereby authorizes the Company and the Company’s representatives to discuss with and obtain all relevant information from all personnel, professional or not, involved in the administration and operation of the Plan.  The Grantee further authorizes the Company, the Service Recipient and/or any other Subsidiary to disclose and discuss the Plan with their advisors.  The Grantee further authorizes the Company and the Service Recipient to record such information and to keep such information in the Grantee’s file.  The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Grantee’s personal information, including sensitive personal information, may be transferred or disclosed outside the province of Quebec, including to the United States.  If applicable, the Grantee also acknowledges and authorizes the Company, the Service Recipient, MSSB, and other parties involved in the administration of the Plan to use technology for profiling purposes and to make automated decisions that may have an impact on the Grantee or the administration of the Plan.
Notifications

The following terms and conditions apply to me if the Grantee is subject to exchange control restrictions and regulations in China (regardless of the Grantee’s nationality and residency status), including the requirements imposed by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (the “SAFE”), as determined by the Company in its sole discretion: 
Restriction on Sale.  Notwithstanding the Plan and any other provision of the Agreement to the contrary, the Grantee will not be permitted to sell any Ordinary Shares acquired under the Plan unless and until the necessary approvals have been obtained from the SAFE and remain effective, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

NEW ZEALAND
Notifications
Securities Law Information.  The Grantee is being offered Restricted Share Units which, if vested, will entitle the Grantee to acquire Ordinary Shares in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the Plan.  The Ordinary Shares, if issued, will give the Grantee a stake in the ownership of the Company.  The Grantee may receive a return if dividends are paid.
If the Company runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, the Grantee will be paid only after all creditors and holders of preference shares (if any) have been paid.  The Grantee may lose some or all of the Grantee’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 Grantee may not be given all the information usually required.  The Grantee will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment.  The Grantee 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 Grantee acquires Ordinary Shares under the Plan, the Grantee may be able to sell the Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market if there are interested buyers.  The Grantee may get less than the Grantee 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 Grantee 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/.
