The leadership changes become effective July 1, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>These changes follow a deliberate Board decision to align BeyondSpring\u2019s organizational structure with three defining realities: a clear and differentiated scientific thesis, a confirmatory trial pathway for Plinabulin, and an intellectual property portfolio extending well into the next decade. Each appointment serves one objective: crossing the finish line on DUBLIN-4 and establishing Plinabulin as a new standard of care for a large and underserved patient population.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>The Scientific Foundation: Why This Moment Matters<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Plinabulin is a first-in-class <strong>GEF-H1 agonist<\/strong> whose multifunctional mechanism \u2014 encompassing dendritic cell maturation, tumor microenvironment modulation, anti-angiogenesis, and neutropenia mitigation \u2014 activates biological pathways that standard chemotherapy and ADC drugs do not. BeyondSpring\u2019s intellectual property portfolio protecting Plinabulin includes patents granted across 40+ jurisdictions globally, with U.S. composition-of-matter protection currently extending through <strong>2036<\/strong>. Upon FDA approval of Plinabulin, BeyondSpring expects to apply for a <strong>Hatch-Waxman patent term extension<\/strong> \u2014 which can restore up to five additional years of U.S. patent protection \u2014 potentially extending exclusivity to 2041. The commercial runway ahead of this asset is long.<\/p>\n<p>In the <strong>DUBLIN-3 Phase 3 study<\/strong>, published in <em>The Lancet Respiratory Medicine<\/em> (2024), Plinabulin combined with docetaxel doubled two- and three-year survival rates in second- and third-line EGFR wild-type NSCLC patients who had progressed on prior therapy \u2014 while simultaneously reducing docetaxel-induced grade 4 neutropenia from 33% to 5%. These results \u2014 durable efficacy and meaningfully superior tolerability in a single combination \u2014 are the peer-reviewed, published scientific foundation for DUBLIN-4.<\/p>\n<p>New preclinical data presented at the <strong>2026 AACR Annual Meeting<\/strong> extend Plinabulin\u2019s scientific thesis into the antibody drug conjugate (ADC) setting. When Plinabulin was combined with leading ADC agents \u2014 T-DXd and Dato-DXd \u2014 it produced significantly higher complete tumor regression rates and improved survival in preclinical models, with or without immunotherapy. The mechanism is clear: Plinabulin\u2019s GEF-H1 activation matures dendritic cells, elevates the CD8+ T cell-to-Treg ratio, and mitigates the neutropenia that forces ADC dose reductions or treatment interruptions \u2014 simultaneously addressing the two most persistent barriers to ADC efficacy. Recent Phase 3 studies in second- or third-line NSCLC post-ICI, including TROPION-Lung01 and EVOKE-01, showed that leading ADCs failed to outperform older chemotherapy in certain lung cancer settings, underscoring the need for precisely the kind of combination regimen Plinabulin\u2019s mechanism provides. No currently approved drug serves that role.<\/p>\n<p>DUBLIN-3, DUBLIN-4, and the AACR 2026 ADC data present a coherent and expanding scientific story \u2014 grounded in peer-reviewed evidence, and protected by an IP portfolio with a long commercial runway. The leadership structure announced today has been designed to execute on that story with speed, focus, and discipline.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Dr. Lan Huang, PhD: Chairman \u2014 A Principled Separation of Executive Focus<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Dr. Lan Huang, who founded BeyondSpring and led it from inception through its Nasdaq listing, three global Phase 3 studies, and the DUBLIN-3 publication in <em>The Lancet Respiratory Medicine<\/em>, will remain <strong>Chairman<\/strong> of BeyondSpring.<\/p>\n<p>This reflects a principled governance decision and a thoughtful succession plan. Dr. Huang is also the Co-Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of <strong>SEED Therapeutics<\/strong>, a clinical-stage targeted protein degradation company advancing its next phase of development and capital formation. The Board concluded that the right answer is to ensure each company has dedicated leadership suited to its current stage.<\/p>\n<p>As Chairman, Dr. Huang will provide strategic vision and Board leadership for BeyondSpring. The clarity of that structure \u2014 strategic governance at BeyondSpring and operational leadership at SEED \u2014 is itself a governance strength. It gives BeyondSpring\u2019s Board and shareholders a dedicated management team with the full operational focus that DUBLIN-4 demands and gives SEED\u2019s investors and scientific partners the executive commitment they are entitled to expect.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Huang holds a PhD in Chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley, conducted postdoctoral research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and has published in <em>Science<\/em> and <em>Nature<\/em>. She is the co-inventor of multiple Plinabulin patents and has built and exited multiple companies, including transactions with Warburg Pincus and Shanghai Pharmaceutical Group. Her scientific vision and founding legacy remain central to BeyondSpring\u2019s identity.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Dr. Jiangwen (Jen) Majeti, PhD, MBA: Vice Chairman \u2014 Governance Continuity and Strategic Depth<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>The Board has appointed <strong>Dr. Jiangwen (Jen) Majeti, PhD, MBA<\/strong>, a current BeyondSpring Director and Chair of the Compensation Committee, as <strong>Vice Chairman<\/strong>, effective July 1, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Majeti\u2019s appointment reflects the Board\u2019s commitment to governance continuity through the transition. With Dr. Huang remaining Chairman of BeyondSpring, Dr. Majeti will help bridge Board and management \u2014 providing the incoming CEO with a senior governance partner who understands BeyondSpring\u2019s scientific and commercial history and brings over two decades of independent global biopharma experience.<\/p>\n<p>Her career spans senior positions at Amgen (co-inventor of a patented therapeutic target in metabolic disease), Roche (where she led global clinical outsourcing and CRO partnerships), BioDuro\/PPD, and Erasca. She holds a PhD in Molecular Genetics from the University of Wisconsin\u2013Madison and an MBA from Santa Clara University, and has served as President of the Chinese American Biopharmaceutical Society (CABS), which has more than 3,000 members and subscribers in the life science industry. She is an active angel investor and limited partner in multiple biomedical venture funds. Her cross-border network across U.S., Chinese, and global biopharma ecosystems directly strengthens BeyondSpring\u2019s business development and partnership capacity as DUBLIN-4 advances.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Min Qiu: Chief Executive Officer \u2014 A Clear Mandate<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>The Board has appointed <strong>Min Qiu<\/strong> as Chief Executive Officer of BeyondSpring, effective July 1, 2026. His mandate is clear, built around three interlocking priorities:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:7pt\">\n          <strong>Execute DUBLIN-4. <\/strong>DUBLIN-4 is a 442-patient confirmatory Phase 3 trial of Plinabulin plus docetaxel in non-squamous EGFR wild-type NSCLC patients who have progressed on PD-1\/PD-L1 inhibitor-containing therapies \u2014 the most direct path to a regulatory outcome and to establishing Plinabulin as a new standard of care for a large and underserved patient population. A disciplined enrollment is expected from China, a genuine competitive advantage reflecting BeyondSpring\u2019s established clinical infrastructure and Mr. Qiu\u2019s deep relationships across the Chinese clinical and regulatory network. DUBLIN-4 is an execution program, and crossing its finish line is Mr. Qiu\u2019s primary responsibility.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:7pt\">\n          <strong>Extend Plinabulin\u2019s scientific optionality. <\/strong>The AACR 2026 preclinical data establish a compelling rationale for Plinabulin as a backbone agent in ADC combination regimens. Mr. Qiu will work closely with Chief Scientific Officer Dr. June Lu and SVP of Development Dr. John Mao to develop the clinical and partnership framework for ADC combination studies and other applications of Plinabulin\u2019s GEF-H1 mechanism \u2014 with research anchored in China, including the Shanghai Chest Hospital collaboration \u2014 as a natural and value-creating extension of the DUBLIN-4 program.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:7pt\">\n          <strong>Build BeyondSpring\u2019s global partner and investor base. <\/strong>Mr. Qiu will lead BeyondSpring\u2019s engagement with Chinese pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, Japanese pharmaceutical partners, and Asia-based institutional investors active in the oncology and biopharmaceutical space. His fluency in Chinese, English, and Japanese, his leadership of the landmark RMB 1.3 billion Hengrui Pharma licensing collaboration, and his deep relationships across Chinese and Japanese pharmaceutical and investor communities give him a distinctive capability to build the financial and partnership base BeyondSpring\u2019s agenda requires.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Mr. Qiu has been actively involved in BeyondSpring\u2019s corporate development for five years. He previously served as Board Secretary of Guangyuyuan Chinese Herbal Medicine Co., Ltd. (SH: 600771) and as a healthcare analyst at China Merchants Securities, focused on the China-Japan pharmaceutical sector. He holds a Bachelor of Pharmacy and a Master of Engineering in Technology Management for Innovation from the University of Tokyo.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Na Li: Chief Financial Officer \u2014 Financial Rigor in Support of Execution<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Na Li<\/strong> has been appointed Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of BeyondSpring, effective July 1, 2026. She has served as CFO of Dalian Wanchunbulin Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. since November 2020 and brings more than two decades of finance leadership across pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and public-company environments.<\/p>\n<p>Executing the confirmatory DUBLIN-4 program with discipline \u2014 on time, within budget, and with the financial transparency that Nasdaq-listed company obligations require \u2014 demands a CFO with both technical financial competence and capital markets relationships to support ongoing financing. Ms. Li brings both.<\/p>\n<p>Her qualifications span financial planning and budgeting, treasury management, internal controls, public-company financial reporting, debt and equity financing, and board secretary functions. She holds an Accountant Certificate, a CFO Qualification Certificate, and a Shanghai Stock Exchange Board Secretary Qualification Certificate. Her experience as Board Secretary for a Main Board-listed Chinese pharmaceutical company on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and for a Third Board-listed company on the Beijing Stock Exchange \u2014 managing investor relations, disclosure, and equity transactions involving state-owned shareholders \u2014 gives her a distinctive capability to support Mr. Qiu\u2019s engagement with Chinese and Japanese pharmaceutical counterparties and Asia-based institutional investors.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>A Note on the BeyondSpring\u2013SEED Therapeutics Relationship<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>BeyondSpring retains a meaningful equity stake in SEED Therapeutics. This leadership transition has been designed with full awareness of that relationship, and the Board believes the new structure directly strengthens both companies.<\/p>\n<p>SEED Therapeutics is advancing a highly differentiated targeted protein degradation (TPD) technology \u2014 its RITE3\u2122 molecular glue approach \u2014 with cornerstone investors and collaboration partners Eli Lilly and Eisai. SEED has advanced its lead RBM39 degrader (ST-01156) into Phase 1 clinical development. Dr. Huang\u2019s full executive commitment to SEED is the right governance structure for SEED at this stage.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Leadership Commentary<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>\u201cThis is not a routine management change. It is a considered strategic decision to give BeyondSpring and SEED Therapeutics the leadership structures they each need at this precise moment in their development,\u201d<\/strong> said <strong>Dr. Lan Huang<\/strong>, Chairman of BeyondSpring and Co-Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of SEED Therapeutics. \u201cPlinabulin\u2019s GEF-H1 mechanism has produced compelling Phase 3 results in NSCLC \u2014 doubling survival rates, reducing neutropenia \u2014 and our new AACR data extend that same logic into the ADC setting. The science is strong and the IP runway is long. DUBLIN-4 is our confirmatory moment, and it demands focused, disciplined execution. Min has the mandate, the relationships, and the operational depth to deliver it. I look forward to supporting BeyondSpring as Chairman while directing my full attention to SEED Therapeutics and the scientific technology we are building there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>\u201cDUBLIN-4 is the mission,\u201d<\/strong> said <strong>Min Qiu<\/strong>, Chief Executive Officer. \u201cThe science and meaningful clinical data from DUBLIN-3 are well received by the clinical community. The patient population for DUBLIN-4 is defined and enriched based on Plinabulin\u2019s mechanism. A meaningful portion of enrollment will come from China, where our clinical infrastructure gives us a genuine speed and cost advantage. My job is to execute that program with precision and global breadth, build the scientific optionality that the AACR ADC data point toward with clinical validation, and develop the partnerships and capital relationships \u2014 in China, Japan, and the U.S. \u2014 that will sustain BeyondSpring\u2019s momentum through and beyond DUBLIN-4. I am grateful for the Board\u2019s confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>\u201cThe Board\u2019s job is to put the right people in the right seats at the right moment,\u201d<\/strong> said <strong>Dr. Jen Majeti<\/strong>, Vice Chairman. \u201cThis structure does exactly that. Lan\u2019s scientific vision and founding commitment remain central to BeyondSpring\u2019s identity. Min brings the operational intensity and the cross-border capital markets relationships that DUBLIN-4 demands. My role is to ensure the Board provides governance continuity, strategic depth, and integration across BeyondSpring\u2019s global operations. I would add one commercial observation: Plinabulin carries published Phase 3 data, a patent portfolio extending through 2036 and potentially beyond, and a clear confirmatory trial pathway. The runway ahead is long \u2014 and DUBLIN-4 is how we capitalize on it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Plinabulin and the Path to DUBLIN-4<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Plinabulin is a late-stage, first-in-class <strong>GEF-H1 agonist<\/strong> whose multifunctional mechanism \u2014 encompassing dendritic cell maturation, tumor microenvironment modulation, anti-angiogenesis, and neutropenia mitigation \u2014 activates biological pathways that standard chemotherapy and ADC drugs do not. BeyondSpring\u2019s intellectual property portfolio protecting Plinabulin includes patents granted in 40+ jurisdictions globally, with U.S. composition-of-matter protection extending through 2036 and potential further extension to 2041 under the Hatch-Waxman Act upon FDA approval. Over 700 cancer patients have been treated across multiple clinical programs.<\/p>\n<p>In the <strong>DUBLIN-3 Phase 3 study<\/strong> (<em>The Lancet Respiratory Medicine<\/em>, 2024), Plinabulin combined with docetaxel significantly outperformed docetaxel monotherapy in second- and third-line EGFR wild-type NSCLC, doubling two- and three-year survival rates and reducing grade 4 neutropenia from 33% to 5% (p&lt;0.0001). <strong>DUBLIN-4<\/strong> (n=442, 1:1 randomization) is BeyondSpring\u2019s confirmatory Phase 3 program, designed to validate the DUBLIN-3 results prospectively in non-squamous EGFR wild-type NSCLC patients who have progressed on PD-1\/PD-L1 inhibitor-containing therapies.
