On February 2, 2024, BeyondSpring Inc. (the “Company”) reported financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
As previously reported on Form 6-Ks filed by the Company on September 20, 2023 and January 16, 2024, Dalian Wanchunbulin Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (“Wanchunbulin”), the Company’s 58%-owned subsidiary in China, was party to an arbitration proceeding initiated by Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (“Hengrui”). On January 10, 2024, the arbitral tribunal at China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Committee issued a final award, denying all claims made by Hengrui.
As a result, all of Wanchunbulin’s assets that have been seized and frozen pending a decision by the arbitral tribunal are expected to be returned to Wanchunbulin. Such seized and frozen assets are reflected in the Company’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2023 as “Restricted Cash.”
