Updates to “Risk Factors” Section in the Preliminary Prospectus
This free writing prospectus supplements and updates the information contained in the Preliminary Prospectus. You should read the Preliminary Prospectus carefully, including the section entitled “Risk Factors,” before deciding to invest in the Company’s ADSs.
It has been reported in the media that the U.S. Department of Commerce may add Chinese biotechnology companies to its Entity List, which contains a list of names of certain foreign persons (including businesses, research institutions, government and private organizations, individuals, and other types of legal persons) that are subject to specific license requirements for the export, re-export and/or transfer of specified items. The timing of when the U.S. Department of Commence will update its Entity List, if at all, is uncertain.
Until more information relating to whether the U.S. Department of Commerce intends to add biotechnology companies with PRC operations (including the Company) to its Entity List, the market price of the Company’s ADSs could be materially adversely affected. In addition, any actions that the Company takes in response to the Entity List may require the Company to incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses, which may be significant.
