Nature of the business and the basis of preparation

 

BeyondSpring Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on November 21, 2014. The Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”) are principally engaged in clinical stage biopharmaceutical activities focused on the development of innovative cancer therapies. The Company is under the control of Mr. Linqing Jia and Dr. Lan Huang as a couple (collectively, the “Founders”) since its incorporation.

 

In January 2025, the Company entered into definitive agreements with three investors to sell a portion of Series A-1 Preferred Shares of SEED owned by the Company, for gross proceeds of approximately $35,418. Upon completion of the transactions, the Company and SEED Technology Limited (“SEED Technology”), a majority-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company (collectively, the “BYSI Entities”) are expected to retain approximately 13.62% of SEED’s outstanding shares. The transaction is expected to be completed in three closings and has not yet been fully consummated. See Note 3 – Discontinued operations for further information.

 

As of March 31, 2026, the BYSI Entities owns approximately 38.03% of the outstanding equity interest in SEED, calculated on an as-converted basis. SEED continues to be consolidated into the financial statements of the Company since the Company remains substantive control of SEED.
