**UNDERWRITTEN OFFERING** 

On August 1, 2025, I-Mab (the "***Company***") entered into an underwriting agreement (the "***Underwriting Agreement***") with Leerink Partners LLC as the representative of the several underwriters named therein (the "***Underwriters***"), in connection with the issuance and sale by the Company in an underwritten offering (the "***Offering***") of 33,333,330 American depositary shares ("***ADSs***"), each ten (10) American depositary shares representing twenty-three (23) ordinary shares, representing, in the aggregate, 76,666,659 ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company at an offering price of $1.95 per ADS. Gross proceeds from the Offering, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company, are expected to be approximately $65 million.

The Offering was made pursuant to the Company's shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-286954), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "***SEC***") on May 15, 2025, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated August 1, 2025, filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "***Securities Act***"). The Offering is expected to close on or about August 5, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act, and other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.

The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement is not complete, does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 1.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

The legal opinion of Harneys Westwood & Riegels, the Company's counsel as to Cayman Islands law, relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the ordinary shares underlying the ADSs offered in the Offering is filed herewith as Exhibit 5.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

On August 1, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing the Offering. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

The aforesaid 33,333,330 ADSs to be purchased by the Underwriters are herein called the "<u>Securities</u>." The Ordinary Shares represented by the ADSs to be purchased by the Underwriters are hereinafter called the "<u>Underlying Shares</u>." The Underlying Shares will, following subscription by the Underwriters, be deposited pursuant to the Deposit Agreement dated as of January 22, 2020, by and among the Company, Citibank, N.A., as depositary (the "<u>Depositary</u>"), and the holders and beneficial owners of ADSs issued thereunder, to be supplemented by a letter agreement by and between the Company and the Depositary (as so supplemented, the "<u>Deposit Agreement</u>"). Each 10 ADSs will initially represent the right to receive 23 Ordinary Shares deposited pursuant to the Deposit Agreement. The parties hereto agree that to facilitate the transactions contemplated by this Underwriting Agreement (this "<u>Agreement</u>"), the Underwriters shall subscribe for the Underlying Shares and, upon the Underwriters becoming the owners of their respective Underlying Shares, the Representative shall deposit such Shares with the Depositary against issuance of ADSs, in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Agreement.

The Company understands that the Underwriters propose to make an offering of the Securities as soon as the Representative deems advisable after this Agreement has been executed and delivered.

The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "<u>Commission</u>") a shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (No. 333-286954), covering the offering and sale of certain securities, including the Securities, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "<u>1933 Act</u>") and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder (the "<u>1933 Act Regulations</u>"), which shelf

For purposes of this Agreement, the only information so furnished shall be the information in the first sentence of the fifth paragraph and the second sentence of the eleventh paragraph under the caption "Underwriting" contained in the Prospectus (collectively, the "<u>Underwriter Information</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) The Company is subject to and in compliance in all material respects with the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act. The ADSs are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the 1934 Act and are listed on Nasdaq Global Market ("<u>Nasdaq</u>"), and the Company has taken no action designed to, or reasonably likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the ADSs under the 1934 Act or delisting the ADSs from Nasdaq, nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission is contemplating terminating such registration or listing. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Company has not received any notification that Nasdaq is contemplating terminating its listing and is in compliance with the current listing standards of Nasdaq.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix) Except as disclosed in the General Disclosure Package, there is no broker, finder or other party that is entitled to receive from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as defined below) any brokerage or finder's fee or other fee or commission as a result of any transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(x) The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as an exempted company in good standing (to the extent such concept applies) under the laws of the Cayman Islands, with full corporate power and authority to acquire, own, lease and operate its properties, and to lease the same to others, and to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement. The Company is duly qualified to transact business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing (to the extent such concept applies) in each other jurisdiction that requires such qualification, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, results of operations, business, properties, operations, assets, liabilities or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business (a "<u>Material Adverse Effect</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xi) Each of the Company's "subsidiaries" (for purposes of this Agreement, as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act) (each, a "<u>Subsidiary</u>" and collectively, the "<u>Subsidiaries</u>") has been duly incorporated or organized, as the case may be, and is validly existing in good standing (where such concept exists) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, as applicable, and has full power and authority to acquire, own, lease and operate its properties, and to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. Each Subsidiary is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing (where such concept exists) under the laws of each jurisdiction that requires such qualification, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The ADSs conform in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, including under the heading "Description of Share Capital and Articles of Association."

------

validly issued and is fully paid and nonassessable, has been issued in compliance with all federal, state and local securities laws and is free and clear of any security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or adverse claim. None of the outstanding share capital of the Company were issued in violation of any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Company. There are no authorized or outstanding options, warrants, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other rights to purchase or subscribe for, or equity or debt securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, any share capital of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries other than those described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus, or any Incorporated Document. The descriptions of the Company's equity incentive plan, share option plans and other share plans or arrangements described in the Prospectus and in effect as of the date hereof (collectively, the "<u>Share Plans</u>") and the options or other rights granted thereunder, set forth in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus in all material respects accurately and fairly present the information required to be shown with respect to such Share Plans and the options or other rights granted thereunder.

All disclosures contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus that contain "non-GAAP financial measures" (as such term is defined by the rules and regulations of the Commission) comply, in all material respects, with Regulation G under the 1934 Act and Item 10 of Regulation S-K under the 1933 Act, to the extent applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xxviii) All tax returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries required by law to be filed have been filed or extensions thereof have been requested, and all taxes shown by such returns or otherwise assessed against the Company and its Subsidiaries, which are due and payable, have been paid, except taxes and assessments that are being contested in good faith or except where the failure to file such returns or pay such taxes or assessments would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, there is no tax deficiency which has been, or would reasonably be expected to be, asserted against the Company or its Subsidiaries, except tax deficiencies that are being contested in good faith or that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xxix) No labor dispute with the employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is pending or, to the Company's knowledge, threatened, that would have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the current employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are represented by a union and, to the knowledge of the Company, no union organizing activities are taking place. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all federal, state or local law or foreign law relating to discrimination in hiring, promotion or pay of employees, any applicable wage or hour laws, and the rules and regulations thereunder, and analogous foreign laws and regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xxx) Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries are insured by recognized and reputable institutions with policies in such amounts and with such deductibles and covering such risks as are generally deemed adequate and customary for their businesses including, but not limited to, policies covering real and personal property owned or leased by the Company and its Subsidiaries against theft, damage, destruction, acts of vandalism and earthquakes and policies covering the Company

------

and its Subsidiaries for clinical trial liability claims. The Company has no reason to believe that it or any of its Subsidiaries will not be able (i) to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such policies expire or (ii) to obtain comparable coverage from similar institutions as may be necessary or appropriate to conduct its business as now conducted and at a cost that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has been denied any material insurance coverage which it has sought or for which it has applied.<u> </u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xxxi) The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them and good and marketable title to all personal property owned by them that is material to their business (except with respect to intellectual property, which is addressed exclusively in Section 6(xliv) and Section 6(lvi) below), in each case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects except such as do not materially affect the value of such property and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company or any Subsidiary; and any real property and buildings held under lease by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases (subject to the effects of (A) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights or remedies of creditors generally; (B) the application of general principles of equity (including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, regardless of whether enforcement is considered in proceedings at law or in equity); and (C) applicable law and public policy with respect to rights to indemnity and contribution) with such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the Company or such Subsidiary.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of, or in default under, any of the Permits or has received any written notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of, or non-compliance with, any such certificate, authorization or permit, which, individually or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xxxiii) The Company and each of its Subsidiaries make and keep accurate books and records and maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management's general or specific authorization; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain accountability for assets; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management's general or specific authorization; (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences; and (v) the interactive data in eXtensible Business Reporting Language included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus fairly presents the information called for in all material respects and is prepared in accordance with the Commission's rules and guidelines applicable thereto.

Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, since the end of the Company's most recent audited fiscal year, there has been no material weakness in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (whether or not remediated) and no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting, including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Company is not aware of any change in its internal control over financial reporting that has occurred during its most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

The tangible or digital information technology systems (including computers, screens, servers, workstations, routers, hubs, switches, networks, data communications lines, technical data and hardware), software and telecommunications systems used or held for use by the Company and its Subsidiaries (the "<u>Company IT Assets</u>") are adequate and operational for, in accordance with the applicable documentation and functional specifications that have been commercially released, the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries as now operated as described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. The Company and its Subsidiaries have used reasonable efforts to establish, and have established, commercially reasonable disaster recovery and security plans, procedures and facilities for the business consistent with industry standards and practices in all material respects, including, without limitation, for the Company IT Assets and data held or used by or for the Company and its Subsidiaries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xxxviii) The Company and any "employee benefit plan" (as defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (collectively, "<u>ERISA</u>")) established or maintained by the Company, or its "ERISA Affiliates" (as defined below) are in compliance in all material respects with ERISA. "ERISA Affiliates" means, with respect to the Company, any member of any group of organizations described in Sections 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (the "<u>Code</u>") of which the Company is a member. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no "reportable event" (as defined under ERISA) has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any "employee benefit plan" established or maintained by the Company, or any of its ERISA Affiliates. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no "employee benefit plan" established or maintained by the Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates,

------

if such "employee benefit plan" were terminated, would have any "amount of unfunded benefit liabilities" (as defined under ERISA). Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Company nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any liability under (i) Title IV of ERISA with respect to termination of, or withdrawal from, any "employee benefit plan" or (ii) Sections 412, 4971, 4975 or 4980B of the Code. Each "employee benefit plan" established or maintained by the Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified and nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, which would reasonably be expected to cause the loss of such qualification.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Settlement without Consent if Failure to Reimburse*. If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 6(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

------

SECTION 7. <u>Contribution</u>. If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, on the one hand, and the total underwriting discount received by the Underwriters, on the other hand, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus.

The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 7. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter in connection with the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public.

No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

For purposes of this Section 7, each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and each Underwriter's Affiliates and selling agents shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. The Underwriters' respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to the number of Securities set forth opposite their respective names in <u>Schedule</u> <u>A</u> hereto and not joint.

------

SECTION 8. <u>Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive</u>. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or its Affiliates or selling agents, any person controlling any Underwriter, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (ii) delivery of and payment for the Securities.

SECTION 9. <u>Termination of Agreement</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Termination*. The Representative may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company, at any time at or prior to the Closing Time (i) if there has been, in the judgment of the Representative, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in U.S. or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representative, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the completion of the offering or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, (iii) if trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or Nasdaq, (iv) if trading generally on the NYSE MKT or the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by order of the Commission, FINRA or any other governmental authority, (v) a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States or with respect to Clearstream or Euroclear systems in Europe, or (vi) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either U.S. Federal or New York authorities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Liabilities*. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 4 hereof, and provided further that Sections 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, 15, 16 and 17 shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 10. <u>Default by One or More of the Underwriters</u>. If one or more of the Underwriters shall fail at the Closing Time to purchase the Securities which it or they are obligated to purchase under this Agreement (the "<u>Defaulted Securities</u>"), the Representative shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting Underwriters, or any other underwriters, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; if, however, the Representative shall not have completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) if the number of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of the number of Securities to be purchased on such date, each of the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective underwriting obligations hereunder bear to the underwriting obligations of all non-defaulting Underwriters, or

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) if the number of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the number of Securities to be purchased on such date, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter.

No action taken pursuant to this Section 10 shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of its default.

In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of this Agreement, either the (i) Representative or (ii) the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Time for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements. As used herein, the term "Underwriter" includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section 10.

SECTION 11. <u>Notices</u>. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication. Notices to the Underwriters shall be directed to Leerink Partners at 1301 Avenue of the Americas, 5<sup>th</sup> Floor, New York, New York, 10019, attention of Stuart R. Nayman, with a copy, which shall not constitute notice, to Covington & Burling LLP at 620 Eighth Avenue, New York, New York 10018, attention of Brian K. Rosenzweig.

SECTION 12. <u>No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship</u>. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (a) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the offering price of the Securities and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm's-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other hand, (b) in connection with the offering of the Securities and the process leading thereto, each Underwriter is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or their respective shareholders, creditors, employees or any other party, (c) no Underwriter has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to the offering of the Securities or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on other matters) and no Underwriter has any obligation to the Company with respect to the offering of the Securities except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, (d) the Underwriters and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company and (e) the Underwriters have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering of the Securities and the Company has consulted its own respective legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate.

SECTION 13. <u>Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes</u>. In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

Re: Proposed Offering by I-Mab

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned, an officer and/or director of I-Mab, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the "<u>Company</u>"), understands that Leerink Partners LLC ("<u>Leerink Partners</u>") proposes to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the "<u>Underwriting Agreement</u>") with the Company providing for the offering (the "<u>Offering</u>") of the Company's American Depositary Shares (the "<u>ADSs</u>"), each 10 ADSs representing 23 ordinary shares, $0.0001 par value per share (the "<u>Ordinary Shares,</u>" and together with the ADSs, the "<u>Securities</u>"). In recognition of the benefit that such an offering will confer upon the undersigned as an officer and/or a director of the Company, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees with each underwriter to be named in the Underwriting Agreement (collectively, the "<u>Underwriters</u>") that, during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the date that is 90 days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement (the "<u>Lock-Up Period</u>"), the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of Leerink Partners, on behalf of the Underwriters, directly or indirectly, (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer any Securities or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Securities (collectively, the "<u>Lock-Up Securities</u>"), whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition, including, without limitation, Securities or such other securities which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "<u>SEC</u>"), or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any of the Lock-Up Securities, or file or cause to be filed any registration statement in connection therewith, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "<u>Securities Act</u>"), (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such swap or any other agreement or any transaction is to be settled by delivery of Securities or other securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the conditions below, the undersigned may transfer Lock-Up Securities without the prior written consent of Leerink Partners, provided, in each case, that (1) in the cases of clauses (i)-(v) below, Leerink Partners receives a signed lock-up agreement for the balance of the Lock-Up Period from each donee, trustee, distributee, or transferee, as the case may be, (2) any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (3) except in the case of gifts pursuant to clause (i) below, such transfers are not required to be reported with the SEC on Form 4 in accordance with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "<u>Exchange Act</u>"), and (4) the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect any public filing or report regarding such transfers (other than a filing on a Form 5 made after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) as a *bona fide* gift or gifts;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) to any member of the immediate family of the undersigned or to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of
the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned (for purposes of this lock-up agreement, "immediate family" shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) as a distribution or other transfer by a partnership to its partners or former partners or by a limited
liability company to its members or former members or by a corporation to its stockholders or former stockholders or to any wholly-owned subsidiary of such corporation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) to the undersigned's affiliates or to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by the
undersigned;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) by operation of law, including pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or in connection with a divorce
settlement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) by will or intestate succession upon the death of the undersigned; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) to the Company in satisfaction of any tax withholding obligation.

Furthermore, no provision in this lock-up agreement shall be deemed to restrict or prohibit (1) the transfer of the undersigned's Lock-Up Securities to the Company in connection with the termination of the undersigned's services to the Company, provided that any filing under Section 16 of the Exchange Act made in connection with such transfer shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto that the filing relates to the circumstances described in this clause (1); (2) the exercise or exchange by the undersigned of any option or warrant to acquire any Securities or options to purchase Securities, in each case for cash or on a "cashless" or "net exercise" basis, pursuant to any stock option, stock bonus or other stock plan or arrangement in existence as of the date of the Underwriting Agreement; provided, however, that the underlying Securities shall continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this lock-up agreement and that any filing under Section 16 of the Exchange Act made in connection with such exercise or exchange shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto that (a) the filing relates to the circumstances described in this clause (2) and (b) no Securities were sold by the reporting person; (3) to the Company to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting or exercise of equity incentive awards or through a "sell to cover" transaction for the purpose of satisfying tax withholding obligations upon the issuance of stock awards or vesting of restricted stock units pursuant to the Company's employee benefit plans disclosed in the Registration Statement on Form F-3 (No. 333-286954) or the documents incorporated by reference therein, provided that any required filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto the nature of such transfer; and (4) the transfer of Lock-Up Securities upon the completion of a bona fide third-party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction that is approved by the Company's board of directors and made to all holders of the Company's securities involving a change of control of the Company; provided, however, that in the event that such tender offer, merger, consolidation or other such transaction is not completed, such Lock-up Securities held by the undersigned shall remain subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this lock-up agreement.

------

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall prevent the undersigned from establishing a 10b5-1 trading plan that complies with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act ("<u>10b5-1 Trading Plan</u>") or from amending an existing 10b5-1 Trading Plan so long as there are no sales of Lock-Up Securities under any such 10b5-1 Trading Plan during the Lock-Up Period; provided, however, that any public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act regarding the establishment or amendment of such 10b5-1 Trading Plan shall clearly disclose that no Securities shall be disposed by such plan during the duration of the Lock-Up Period.

The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company's transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the Lock-Up Securities except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions. This lock-up agreement shall automatically terminate, and the undersigned shall be released from the undersigned's obligations hereunder, upon the earliest to occur, if any, of (i) prior to the execution of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company advises Leerink Partners in writing that it has determined not to proceed with the Offering; (ii) the Underwriting Agreement is executed but is terminated prior to the closing of the Offering (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination), or (iii) August 30, 2025, in the event that the Underwriting Agreement has not been executed by such date.

With respect to the Offering and during the Lock-Up Period, the undersigned waives any registration rights relating to the registration under the Securities Act of the offer and sale of any Securities and/or any Lock-Up Securities owned either of record or beneficially by the undersigned, including any rights to receive notice of the Offering. The undersigned further agrees that, to the extent that the terms of this lock-up agreement conflict with or are in any way inconsistent with any prior investor rights agreement, registration rights agreement, market stand-off agreement or any other lock-up or similar agreement to which the undersigned and the Company may be a party, this lock-up agreement supersedes such prior agreement.

The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters have not provided any recommendation or investment advice nor have the Underwriters solicited any action from the undersigned with respect to the Offering and the undersigned has consulted their own legal, accounting, financial, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent deemed appropriate.

This lock-up agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

This lock-up agreement may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com or www.echosign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

We are lawyers qualified to practise in the Cayman Islands and have acted as Cayman Islands legal advisers to the Company in connection with a registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-286954), including all amendments or supplements thereto (the ***Registration Statement***, which term does not include any other document or agreement whether or not specifically referred to therein or attached as an exhibit or schedule thereto), filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the ***Commission***) on 2 May 2025, relating to the registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, (the ***Securities Act***), as amended to date, relating to the offering and sale of up to 33,333,330 American Depositary Shares (the ***ADSs***), each ten ADSs representing twenty-three (23) ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0001 each in the share capital of the Company (the ***Ordinary Shares***) (the ***Offer Shares***). In this opinion ***Companies Act*** means the Companies Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands.

We are furnishing this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Company's Report on Form 6-K to be filed on the date hereof (the ***Form 6-K***), which will be incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement.

For the purposes of giving this opinion, we have examined the Documents (as defined in Schedule 1). We have not examined any other documents, official or corporate records or external or internal registers and have not undertaken or been instructed to undertake any further enquiry or due diligence in relation to the transaction which is the subject of this opinion.

In giving this opinion we have relied upon the assumptions set out in Schedule 2 which we have not independently verified.

Based solely upon the foregoing examinations and assumptions and upon such searches as we have conducted and having regard to legal considerations which we deem relevant, and subject to the qualifications set out in Schedule 3, we are of the opinion that under the laws of the Cayman Islands:

1. The Company is duly incorporated and validly existing as an exempted company with limited liability under the
law of the Cayman Islands and, based on the Certificate of Good Standing (as defined in Schedule 1), is in good standing as at 30 July 2025. Pursuant to the Companies Act, a company is deemed to be in good standing if all fees and penalties under
the Companies Act have been paid and the Registrar of Companies has no knowledge that the Company is in default under the Companies Act.

the M&A, and (ii) the entry of the Offer Shares as fully paid on the register of members of the Company.

**Exhibit 99.1**![LOGO](g846500g0801141302146.jpg)

**I-Mab Announces Pricing of $65 Million Underwritten Offering of American Depositary Shares** 

**ROCKVILLE, MD, August 1, 2025 (Globe Newswire)** – I-Mab (NASDAQ: IMAB) (the Company), a U.S.-based, global biotech company, focused on the development of precision immuno-oncology agents for the treatment of cancer, today announced the pricing of an underwritten offering in the United States of 33,333,334 American Depositary Shares (ADSs) representing 76,666,668 ordinary shares at an offering price of $1.95 per ADS, for total gross proceeds of approximately $65 million. All of the ADSs to be sold in the offering will be offered by I-Mab. The offering is expected to close on August 5, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.

The offering included participation from new and existing investors including Everest Medicines, Janus Henderson Investors, Adage Capital Partners LP and Exome Asset Management.

Leerink Partners is acting as the lead bookrunning manager. BTIG is acting as a bookrunning manager. Lucid Capital Markets is acting as lead manager.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering, together with its existing cash and cash equivalents, to fund ongoing clinical development of its pipeline product candidates, including a randomized Phase 2 trial of givastomig, a bispecific Claudin 18.2 x 4-1BB antibody, intended to have sufficient power and size to generate clinically meaningful progression-free survival (PFS) data by end of 2027, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

The ADSs are being offered pursuant to an effective F-3 shelf registration statement that was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). A prospectus supplement will be filed with the SEC and will be available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. The offering will be made only by means of a written prospectus and prospectus supplement that form a part of the registration statement. Copies of the prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus relating to the offering may be obtained, when available, for free from Leerink Partners LLC, Attention: Syndicate Department, 53 State Street, 40th Floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, by telephone at (800) 808-7525, ext. 6105, or by email at syndicate@leerink.com.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

**About I-Mab** 

I-Mab (NASDAQ: IMAB) is a U.S.-based, global biotech company, focused on the development of precision immuno-oncology agents for the treatment of cancer. The Company's differentiated pipeline is led by givastomig, a potential best-in-class, bispecific antibody (Claudin 18.2 x 4-1BB) designed to treat Claudin 18.2-positive gastric cancers. Givastomig conditionally activates T cells via the 4-1BB signaling pathway in the tumor microenvironment where Claudin 18.2 is expressed. Givastomig is being developed for first line metastatic gastric cancers, with additional potential in other solid tumors. In ongoing Phase 1 trials, givastomig has been observed to maintain strong tumor-binding and anti-tumor activity, attributable to a potential synergistic effect of proximal interaction with Claudin 18.2 and 4-1BB, while minimizing toxicities commonly seen with other 4-1BB agents.
