See \u201cUse of Non-IFRS Financial Measures\u201d for a reconciliation of Loss for the year to Adjusted loss for the year.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIn addition, Legend Biotech expects to report a one-time non-cash fair value loss of approximately US$80.0 million caused by the changes of fair value of Legend Biotech\u2019s Series A convertible redeemable preferred shares (\u201cSeries A Preferred Shares\u201d), which was derived from the automatic conversion of all outstanding Series A Preferred Shares (plus dividends accrued but unpaid on the Series A Preferred Shares) into ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of Legend Biotech (\u201cOrdinary Shares\u201d) upon Legend Biotech\u2019s listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. The details of the automatic conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares are described in Legend Biotech\u2019s prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 8, 2020. The changes in fair value led to an increase of share premium, which had no material impact on the net assets of Legend Biotech and its subsidiaries.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAs of December 31, 2020, Legend Biotech had approximately US$455.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and approximately US$50.0 million in time deposits.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe financial information contained in this press release is preliminary and is based on the latest estimated unaudited management accounts for the year ended December 31, 2020. Because Legend Biotech has not yet completed its financial closing procedures for the year ended December 31, 2020, Legend Biotech has provided a range for the preliminary results described above. Such information is not a comprehensive statement of Legend Biotech\u2019s results for, and as of, this year, and are subject to the completion of management\u2019s and Legend Biotech\u2019s audit committee\u2019s reviews and other financial closing processes and potential adjustments. Accordingly, Legend Biotech\u2019s actual results as of, and for, the year ended December 31, 2020 may differ materially from the preliminary estimated data presented in this press release. As a result, it is possible that Legend Biotech\u2019s final results will not be within the ranges presented.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe information contained in this press release has not been, and is not based on information that has been, audited, or reviewed by Legend Biotech\u2019s independent auditor. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these preliminary estimates.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"bwpagebreakafter\" \/>\n<p>\nThis preliminary estimated data should not be considered a substitute for the audited financial results for the year ended December 31, 2020, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the \u201cSEC\u201d) on Form 20-F, which Legend Biotech expects to occur before the end of April 2021.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThe following table provides a reconciliation of Legend Biotech\u2019s Loss for the year
