Share-based compensation

 

2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan

 

On February 24, 2017, in connection with the IPO, the Company’s board of directors and shareholders approved an equity compensation plan, the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”), which became effective on March 9, 2017, to provide an additional incentive to selected officers, employees, non-employee directors, independent contractors and consultants of the Company (the “Participants”). The share awards granted by the Company under the 2017 Plan contain service conditions, and will generally vest based on a time-based vesting schedule determined by the administrator of the 2017 Plan. Certain awards also contain (1) performance conditions with respect to research and development progress or/and business development progress, or/and (2) market conditions with respect to the share price of the Company. Under the 2017 Plan, the maximum number of the Company’s ordinary shares reserved for issuance is 5,277,197 shares.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company did not grant any awards under the 2017 Plan.

 

The following table summarizes total share-based compensation expense recognized under 2017 Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2026:
