Vesting period

(a) Standard Vesting Period: Pursuant to the Scheme, the Options granted to the Grantees shall be subject to a vesting period of no less than 12 months (i.e., the Grantee must hold the Options for at least 12 months before they become vested and exercisable).

(b) Vesting Schedule: The Options granted are generally divided into three batches for vesting over a three-year period, following a uniform vesting schedule for every 12-month period.

(c) Vesting Conditions: The vesting of the Options is subject to the Grantee remaining in employment or service with the Group and the achievement of specific performance targets as set out in the performance appraisal under Article 4.5 of the Share Option Scheme.

(d) Exceptions for Shorter Vesting Period: Notwithstanding the 12-month minimum requirement, the Board or the Authorized Person may, at its/his absolute discretion, determine a shorter vesting period under the specific circumstances set out in Article 4.3(c) of the Share Option Scheme, including:

(i) “make-whole” grants to new joiners to replace forfeited awards from their previous employers;

(ii) grants made in batches within one year due to administrative or compliance delays;

(iii) awards with mixed or accelerated vesting arrangements (e.g., uniform vesting within 12 months); and

(iv) awards with performance-based vesting conditions instead of time-based vesting.

The Board considers that such circumstances allow flexibility for the Company to (i) provide competitive terms to attract and induce valuable talent to join the Group; (ii) address instances where the 12-month vesting period requirement would not be practicable or fair due to administrative or technical reasons; (iii) reward exceptional performers with accelerated vesting; and (iv) motivate individuals based on performance metrics rather than time-based vesting criteria. Therefore, the Board is of the view that the vesting period requirements (including the circumstances in which a shorter vesting period may apply) are appropriate and align with the purpose of the Share Option Scheme.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(e) Accelerated Vesting: In the event of a change of control of the Company or other special circumstances (such as death or disability), the Board may exercise its discretion to accelerate the vesting of all or part of the unvested Options in accordance with section “Termination of Employment Relationship” under the Share Option Scheme.

Duration

Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions above and the termination provisions in the Share Option Scheme, the Share Option Scheme shall be valid and effective until close of business on the date which falls 10 years after the Adoption Date, after which period no further Options shall be granted but the provisions of the Share Option Scheme shall in all other respects remain in full force and effect to the extent necessary to give effect to the exercise of any Options granted prior thereto or otherwise as may be required in accordance with the provisions of the Share Option Scheme and Options granted prior thereto but not yet exercised shall continue to be valid and exercisable in accordance with the Share Option Scheme.

Performance Targets

The exercise of Options may be subject to certain performance targets. Such performance targets are determined based on the Company’s performance indicators (such as revenue growth rate, profit targets, return on net assets, and progress in the project pipeline) or individual performance evaluations. The proportion of Options that may be exercised by an Eligible Participant shall be determined by their semi-annual or annual individual or team performance appraisal results as follows:

(a) Grade A: 100% of the annual or semi-annual portion of the Options shall be exercisable;

(b) Grade B: 50% of the annual or semi-annual portion of the Options shall be exercisable; and

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(c) Grade C or below: No portion of the annual or semi-annual Options shall be exercisable.

An Option shall lapse automatically and shall not be exercisable (to the extent not already exercised) on the earliest of the occurrence of any of the following events:

The Board and Authorised Person may, at its absolute discretion, to:

(a) require the Grantee to repay all or part of the net proceeds (after tax) realized from the exercise of any Options;

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE H SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The following is an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with requisite information for them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against a special resolution to be proposed at the AGM in relation to the H Share Repurchase Mandate.

  1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company consisted of 364,588,000 H Shares with a nominal value of RMB1.00 each. There was no Share which is held as Treasury Shares.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares issued by the Company was 364,588,000 H Shares. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution for the grant of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no H Shares will be allotted and issued or repurchased by the Company on or prior to the date of the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 36,458,800 H Shares, being up to 10% of the total issued Shares of the Company (excluding treasury shares) as at the date of passing the relevant resolution(s).

  1. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE OF H SHARES

The Directors believe that the granting of the H Share Repurchase Mandate is in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders. Subject to market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, the repurchase of H Shares may increase the net asset value per share and/or earnings per share and will only be made where our Directors believe that such repurchase will benefit the Company and Shareholders.

  1. EXERCISE OF H SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

Upon the passing of the special resolution set out in the notice of the AGM, the Directors will be granted the H Share Repurchase Mandate which takes effect until the Relevant Period (as defined in the notice of AGM). In addition, the H Share Repurchase Mandate is subject to obtaining approval from the relevant regulatory authorities in China in accordance with the laws, regulations and rules of the PRC.

  1. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

In repurchasing H Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association, the laws of the PRC and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.


APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE H SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

In accordance with the laws of the PRC or administrative regulations and subject to the approval of relevant authority, the Company is entitled by its Articles of Association to repurchase H Shares. The Company shall not repurchase H Shares on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange from time to time.

5. IMPACT OF REPURCHASE

The Directors are of the view that, in the light of the financial position disclosed in the most recently published audited accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2025, there will not be any material adverse impact on the Company's working capital or gearing levels in the event of the exercise of the H Share Repurchase Mandate in full at any time during the Relevant Period. The number of H Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors in due course with the circumstances then prevailing considered and in the best interests of the Company.

6. STATUS OF REPURCHASED H SHARES

The Listing Rules provide that the listing of all the H Shares repurchased by the Company shall be held as treasury shares or cancelled. The Company may cancel any H Shares it repurchased and/or hold them as treasury shares subject to market conditions and its capital management needs at the relevant time of the repurchases as well as applicable laws and regulations. Should the H Shares repurchased by the Company be cancelled, all the relevant share certificates shall be cancelled and destroyed and the Company will ensure that the documents of title of the repurchased H Shares are cancelled and destroyed as soon as practicable following settlement of any such repurchase. Should the H Shares repurchased by the Company be held as treasury shares, the listing of all H Shares which are held as treasury shares shall be retained, and the Company will ensure that the treasury shares are appropriately identified, segregated and retained in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

REPORT ON THE WORK OF THE BOARD FOR 2025

In 2025, the Board of Beijing Biostar Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the "Company"), in strict accordance with relevant laws and regulations, including the Company Law of the PRC and the Securities Law of the PRC, as well as the provisions of the Articles of Association and the rules of procedure for meetings of the Board, discharged its duties faithfully and diligently with a view to safeguarding the interests of all shareholders, and exercised its functions proactively and effectively. The Board duly implemented all resolutions of the general meetings, performed its work with due diligence, and ensured the sound operation and sustainable development of the Company. The report on the key work and major activities of the Board for 2025 are set out below for shareholders' consideration:

I. REVIEW OF THE WORK OF THE BOARD DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD

(I) Operational Overview of the Company

In 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company strictly complied with various laws, regulations, and rules issued by regulatory authorities, and performed its duties with due diligence. Under the leadership of the Board, the Company and its employees responded proactively to the challenges arising from the anti-corruption initiatives in the healthcare sector. All operations were carried out in a standardized and orderly manner, and the Company made steady progress with certain positive developments achieved.

The Company continued to make significant progress in various areas, including advancement of R&D pipeline, strategic marketing cooperation, publication of academic results, and intellectual property layout, and reached major milestones and made achievements as follows:

  1. Advancement of R&D pipeline

We are a synthetic biology-driven biopharmaceutical company committed to developing innovative drugs in oncology. We have successfully developed three core technology platforms which focus on the R&D of microbial metabolite new drugs. As of the end of the current Reporting Period, we had one commercialized product and 19 R&D pipeline projects. Our core product, Utidelone Injection, received approval from the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) in 2021 for its indication, the treatment of relapsed or metastatic breast cancer patients who have received at least one anthracycline- or taxane-containing chemotherapy regimen in combination with capecitabine. This ended a nearly two-decade absence of independently-developed domestic Class 1 innovative chemotherapy drugs in China. As of the end of the current Reporting Period, Utidelone Injection was the only approved chemotherapy drug developed using synthetic biology technology, and it was also the sole microtubule inhibitor oncology drug with a new molecular structure that has been approved worldwide since 2010.


APPENDIX II

REPORT ON THE WORK OF THE BOARD FOR 2025

Given the properties and advantages of Utidelone, such as the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, broad anti-cancer spectrum, high oral bioavailability, low hematological toxicity and the ability to overcome multidrug resistance mechanisms, during the current Reporting Period, we vigorously made arrangements for the expansion of new indications of Utidelone, the clinical development of its oral formulation and other aspects both domestically and internationally. For Utidelone Injection, two pivotal registrational clinical trials for breast cancer and lung cancer brain metastasis have been commenced in the U.S. and China respectively with positive progress. We have completed the phase II clinical study for solid tumors, and obtained promising clinical data in, among other cancers, gastric and esophageal cancers. Such data will guide our phase III studies at a later stage. Meanwhile, we have deployed new R&D pipelines, including the phase II clinical study for the first-line treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer. Such indication was granted orphan drug designation by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). For the Utidelone Capsule, we have successfully completed the phase I clinical study in China and the U.S., which has shown good efficacy and safety profile along with high oral bioavailability. The Phase II clinical study of Utidelone Capsule in combination with capecitabine for the treatment of advanced breast cancer in China has been successfully completed. The results demonstrate that, compared with Utidelone Injection, the capsule formulation achieves comparable or even superior efficacy benefits in terms of progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), and other key endpoints. On the safety profile, it significantly reduces the incidence and severity of peripheral neurotoxicity which is a characteristic adverse effect of microtubule inhibitors and certain other chemotherapeutic agents, lowering the rate of Grade 3 peripheral neuropathy from 25.1% to 2%, with no cases of Grade 4 peripheral neuropathy observed. Meanwhile, it fully preserves Utidelone's well-established advantage of low hematological toxicity. Utidelone Capsule represents an innovative, domestically developed modified new drug in China and marks the world's first solid oral formulation of a microtubule-stabilizing agent. We are of the view that Utidelone Capsule represents an enhancement in cancer treatments, as it provides more convenience and better compliance from patients, eases the financial burden on patients, and could facilitate combination with other anticancer drugs to open up opportunities for new therapies. Therefore, the Company has exerted much effort in the subsequent phase II/III clinical pipeline of Utidelone Capsule, including the phase III clinical study for strengthened triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) adjuvant treatment, the phase II/III international multi-center clinical study for advanced gastric cancer, the phase II/III international multi-center clinical study for advanced ovarian cancer and other large studies with enrollment underway.

Meanwhile, the Company is actively building a next-generation antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) technology platform with fully independent intellectual property rights. This platform focuses on systematic innovation around two core elements: a differentiated payload system and linkers. Unlike prevailing ADC products that widely adopted payloads such as monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) or topoisomerase I (Topo I) inhibitors, this platform innovatively employs the Company's proprietary synthetic

APPENDIX II

REPORT ON THE WORK OF THE BOARD FOR 2025

biology-derived product Utidelone and other epothilone derivatives as the core toxin molecules, which can be selectively combined with Topo I inhibitors to develop dual-payload or multi-payload ADC drugs. Utidelone and other epothilone derivative payloads belong to the class of epothilone-based microtubule-stabilizing agents. They exhibit potent antitumor activity, excellent cell membrane permeability, potential to overcome Pglycoprotein (P-gp)-mediated multidrug resistance in tumor cells, a well-defined mechanism of action, and a favorable safety profile, conferring significant differentiated competitive advantages in the ADC field. Preclinical studies are currently advancing vigorously, with the goal of reaching the investigational new drug (IND) enabling stage in 2026.

As of the end of the Reporting Period, the latest R&D pipeline chart of the Company is as follows (note: the pipeline chart excludes certain completed studies or investigator-initiated trials (IITs)):

Utidelone Injection

Phase III clinical trial of Utidelone Injection for HER2- breast cancer neoadjuvant therapy

This study is a superiority design with head-to-head comparison against docetaxel. Anthracycline (AC) in combination with taxanes is currently a standard neoadjuvant treatment for patients with HER2- breast cancers, nevertheless its efficacy and safety profile are limited. Based on the background that Utidelone Injection was approved for the treatment of advanced breast cancer, we believe that it can be applied to early breast cancer treatment and can benefit more cancer patients, meanwhile expanding our market share. As of the end of the Reporting Period, we have enrolled nearly 90% of the target number of patients, and the incidence rate of collected adverse events was low, and these adverse events were easily manageable, indicating good safety profile of Utidelone Injection in combination with AC. Efficacy data will be obtained after reaching a sufficient number of evaluable cases and completing statistical analysis. All patients are expected to be enrolled by mid-2026. We believe that our product has the potential to become a preferred neoadjuvant chemotherapy option for HER2- breast cancer (particularly the TNBC).

Phase II clinical trial of Utidelone Injection for solid tumors (in combination with PD-1 for the first-line treatment of advanced gastric and esophageal cancers) in China (completed)

According to the data of the first stage of the phase II clinical trial, the CBR of Utidelone monotherapy for advanced gastric cancers (GC) and esophageal cancers (ESCC) reached 53% and 70%, with ORR of 20% and 40%, respectively. Hence, we conducted the second-stage study of Utidelone in combination with PD-1 for the first-line treatment of GC and ESCC, and completed this study during the Reporting Period. Utidelone plus PD-1 inhibitor and chemotherapy demonstrated promising efficacy and acceptable safety as first-line treatment for GC and ESCC. There were 27 eligible patients enrolled in the GC cohort and 23 patients were evaluable for efficacy. 5 patients were still receiving treatment (up to 23 cycles). The ORR was 65.2% and CBR was 100%. The mPFS was >6.1 months. There were 20 eligible patients enrolled in the ESCC cohort and 18 patients were evaluable for efficacy. 6 patients were still receiving treatments (up to 12 cycles). The ORR was 33.3% and CBR was 100%. The safety profiles were good for both cohorts, with no treatment-related deaths. Latest study findings have been presented as a poster at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting.

  • Phase II clinical trial of Utidelone Injection in combination with bevacizumab for HER2 negative breast cancer with brain metastasis (investigator-initiated trial)

The results of this clinical trial were published in the JAMA Oncology during the Reporting Period. Utidelone can cross blood-brain barrier, enabling it to reach a high drug concentration in brain tissues, thereby playing a role in preventing and treating brain metastases. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of Utidelone combined with bevacizumab in the treatment of advanced breast cancer brain metastases. From 5 May 2022 to 25 October 2023, a total of 47 patients were recruited. Among them, 35 patients had untreated CNS lesions, while 12 had progressive brain metastases after local radiotherapy. In terms of safety profile, the most common grade 1-2 adverse events (AEs) were peripheral neuropathy, decreased neutrophil count, etc. No grade 3 or higher treatment-related AEs occurred. Regarding efficacy, the CNS-ORR was 42.6%. As of 20 May 2024, the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 7.7 months, and the median overall survival (OS) was 15.1 months.

Phase II clinical trial of Utidelone Injection in combination with bevacizumab and etoposide for the treatment of HER2- negative breast cancer with brain metastases (investigator-initiated trial)

The results of this clinical trial were presented orally at the 2025 ASCO annual meeting. The study was designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of Utidelone in combination with bevacizumab and chemotherapy in the treatment of breast cancer brain metastases with a view to finding new treatments that can control intracranial tumors and prolong survival for this group of patients. A total of 34 patients were enrolled in the study, with a median age of 51. Among them, the median number of prior lines of chemotherapy was 3, 10 patients were treated with bevacizumab, and 9 patients were treated with local treatment targeting brain metastases. As of 2 December 2024 (10.4 months median follow-up), the median overall PFS was six months. In terms of safety, the overall tolerability of this combination treatment regimen was good, with most treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) being grade 1-2, manageable and reversible. Nearly two-thirds of the patients completed more than 6 cycles of treatment. The grade 3-4 TEAEs occurred in the study were limited to peripheral neuropathy and bone marrow suppression, with an incidence rate of less than 10%.

Phase II clinical trial of Utidelone Injection in combination with bevacizumab for the treatment of HER2- positive breast cancer with brain metastases (investigator-initiated trial)

The results of this clinical trial were presented as a poster at the 2025 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Utidelone in combination with bevacizumab in the treatment of HER2-positive advanced breast cancer with brain metastases. Between May 2022 and April 2025, 50 evaluable patients were enrolled. In patients who had progressed on prior trastuzumab and TKI (pyrotinib) therapy, with more than half having received previous ADC treatment, the combination of Utidelone plus bevacizumab demonstrated substantial intracranial antitumor activity: the central nervous system objective response rate (CNS-ORR) reached 54.0%, and the intracranial disease control rate (CNS-DCR) was as high as 92.0%. The median overall progression-free survival (PFS) was 8.6 months (95% CI: 7.0-10.2), and the median CNS progression-free survival (CNS-PFS) was 15.1 months (95% CI: 8.2-22.0). The regimen exhibited a favorable safety profile, with most adverse events being mild to moderate (grade 1-2) and overall manageable, and no treatment-related deaths were observed. Notably, this regimen did not incorporate any novel anti-HER2 targeted agents yet still achieved such pronounced efficacy, suggesting that Utidelone possesses excellent blood-brain barrier penetration and exerts synergistic effects in combination with bevacizumab.

Pivotal phase II clinical trial of Utidelone Injection in combination with bevacizumab for the treatment of lung cancer brain metastasis

Given Utidelone's performance in aforementioned clinical trials, we have initiated this pivotal Phase II registration clinical trial of Utidelone Injection in combination with bevacizumab for the treatment of lung cancer brain metastases. The study has successfully completed the safety lead-in phase and has now progressed to the expansion phase. Patient enrollment is proceeding smoothly, with encouraging early efficacy signals and a manageable safety profile already observed. Specific data will be available following accrual of a sufficient number of evaluable patients and completion of the planned statistical analysis.


APPENDIX II

REPORT ON THE WORK OF THE BOARD FOR 2025

Pivotal phase II clinical trial of Utidelone Injection in combination with capecitabine for the treatment of breast cancer brain metastasis in the United States

This study adopts a two-stage design and plans to enroll approximately 120 subjects in total, with the primary endpoint being the central nervous system objective response rate (CNSORR). The trial is being conducted collaboratively by nearly 20 leading U.S. cancer centers, including the MD Anderson Cancer Center, the Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center, City of Hope-Duarte, the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University, the University of Colorado Hospital, Augusta University, and the University of California, Los Angeles. During the Reporting Period, we have successfully completed the informed consent and dosing procedures for several patients. This marks the first use of Utidelone Injection in a U.S. patient population, representing an important step in the Company's internationalization strategy.

Phase II clinical study of Utidelone Injection as first-line treatment for unresectable advanced pancreatic cancer

Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant tumor, and the combination regimen with gemcitabine remains its primary clinical treatment approach. However, pancreatic cancer cells are prone to developing resistance to gemcitabine, resulting in suboptimal treatment outcomes. Utidelone has shown significant inhibition of pancreatic cancer cell proliferation and colony formation ability, demonstrating strong antitumor activity in pancreatic cancer models. When used in combination with gemcitabine, Utidelone significantly reduces the IC50 value of gemcitabine, and the combined antitumor activity is superior to the traditional combination of paclitaxel and gemcitabine. As of the date of this report, 20 patients with unresectable and locally unfit advanced pancreatic cancer were enrolled in the study, with 11 having completed the first efficacy assessment. Among these, 3 patients achieved partial remission (PR), and 5 patients had stable disease (SD). The objective remission rate (ORR) was 27.27%, and the disease control rate (DCR) was 72.72%. The median overall survival (mOS) was 9.57 months. In terms of safety, most adverse events were grade 1-2. The data demonstrates that Utidelone in combination with gemcitabine offers favorable survival benefits and disease control rates for the first-line treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer patients, and has the potential to address the treatment gap in pancreatic cancer, emerging as a new treatment option. During the Reporting Period, we were also granted an orphan drug designation by the FDA for the treatment of pancreatic cancer with Utidelone.

Phase II clinical study of Utdelone Injection monotherapy in soft tissue sarcoma

At the 2025 European Society for Medical Oncology Congress (ESMO 2025), we presented data from a phase II clinical study of Utdelone monotherapy in patients with advanced or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma (STS). From 19 August 2022, to 3 March 2025, a total of 27 patients were enrolled, including 15 with leiomyosarcoma, 3 with dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS), 3 with epithelioid sarcoma, 2 with angiosarcoma, and 4 with other sarcoma subtypes. Among evaluable patients, 2 (7.4%) achieved partial response (PR), and 19 (70.4%) achieved stable disease (SD), resulting in an ORR of 7.4% and a DCR of 77.8%. The median PFS was 4.6 months (95% CI: 3.6-5.6), with a 12-month OS rate of 80%. In terms of safety, most of treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were grade 1-2 and manageable/reversible, with no treatment-related deaths reported. These results indicate that Utdelone exhibits promising clinical efficacy and a favorable safety profile in patients with advanced or metastatic STS previously treated with anthracyclines and TKIs, positioning it as a potential new treatment option for advanced STS.

Phase III clinical trial of Utdelone Injection for the treatment of advanced NSCLC in China

Enrollment in this study has reached nearly half of the planned target. However, in light of evolving competitive dynamics in this indication and slower-than-anticipated patient enrollment, the Company has strategically reprioritized its pipeline. Consequently, enrollment in this study has been temporarily suspended. The decision to restart or terminate the study will be made based on future circumstances.

Utidelone Capsule

During the Reporting Period, the pipeline related to Utidelone Capsule progressed rapidly, as we successfully completed its phase I clinical study in the United States and the phase II clinical study in China, and carried out a number of phase II/III large clinical studies globally.

Utidelone Capsule phase I clinical trial in China (completed)

The primary objective of this study, the first clinical study of Utidelone Capsule in China, is to examine the safety profile and tolerability of Utidelone Capsule for Chinese patients with advanced solid tumors, and the secondary objectives include evaluating the efficacy of Utidelone Capsule and its absolute bioavailability compared to Utidelone Injection. During the Reporting Period, the study has been completed, in which patients were treated with Utidelone Capsule monotherapy at starting dose of 50 mg/m²/d-5day (2 patients), with escalation to 75 mg/m²/d-5 day and 75 mg/m²/d-7day (3 patients for each) in a 21-day cycle. No patient experienced dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and the most common ≥ Grade 3 AE was diarrhea appeared at 75 mg/m²/d-7day, but recovered within 24 hours after supportive treatment. 75 mg/m²/d-5day was recommended as monotherapy dose. Population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) modeling analysis further confirmed that the median AUC achieved with Utidelone Capsules at 75 mg/m²/d reaches 80% of the mean/median AUC observed with the approved dose of the Utidelone Injection as specified in the prescribing information. 6 patients were evaluable for efficacy with 3 PR (1 for each for cohort) and 3 SD, with DoT of 2-13 cycles. Most TEAEs were Grade 1/2, no AEs led to death or patient withdrawal. The AUCinf of 30 mg/m² Utidelone Injection and 60 mg/m² Utidelone Capsule was 2974.82 hng/mL and 1870.48 hng/mL, respectively, demonstrating a bioavailability F% of 31.8%.


APPENDIX II

REPORT ON THE WORK OF THE BOARD FOR 2025

Phase II clinical trial of Utidelone Capsule in combination with capecitabine for the treatment of advanced breast cancer in China (completed)

The study is a continuation of the phase I clinical study of Utidelone Capsule in China, evaluating the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetic profile of Utidelone Capsule combined with capecitabine for patients with advanced metastatic breast cancer. This study enrolled a total of 50 patients, all of whom (100%) had received prior taxane or anthracycline therapy; 86% had visceral metastases, 84% had ≥2 metastatic sites, and 42% had received ≥3 prior lines of antitumor therapy. 96% were HER2-negative breast cancer, with 72% HR-positive/HER2-negative subtype and 24% triple-negative breast cancer. 42 patients (84%) had received prior endocrine therapy, and 35 (70%) had received prior CDK4/6 inhibitor therapy. Among the 44 evaluable patients, 27 achieved PR, of whom 23 had confirmed PR, yielding a confirmed ORR of 52.3% and a DCR of 88.6%. The confirmed ORR in the HER2-negative population was 53.5%. In the 44 patients, the median PFS was 8.25 months, the median duration of response (DoR) was 7.62 months, and the median treatment cycles were 9 (range: 1-21). As of 8 October 2025, 16 patients remained on treatment. These results indicate that Utidelone Capsule plus capecitabine demonstrates efficacy comparable to or better than Utidelone Injection plus capecitabine (as reported in the 2018 ASCO oral presentation: ORR of 49.8%, DCR of 65.8%, median treatment cycles of 6) for the treatment of advanced breast cancer. In terms of safety, compared with Utidelone Injection plus capecitabine, the Utidelone Capsule plus capecitabine regimen substantially reduced the incidence and severity of peripheral neuropathy, with grade 3 events decreasing from 25.1% to 2%, while grade 3 hematologic toxicity remained low at 12%. The incidence of adverse events leading to treatment discontinuation was also markedly lower, decreasing from 29.6% to 4%. In summary, the fully oral dual chemotherapy regimen of Utidelone Capsule plus capecitabine tablets provides comparable or superior therapeutic benefit while improving safety and patient compliance. It eliminates the burden of 5 consecutive days of intravenous infusion, premedication for hypersensitivity prevention, and injection-related adverse reactions associated with intravenous formulations, offering patients a more convenient administration method, enhanced safety profile, and substantial clinical value.

Phase II clinical trial of Utidelone Capsule in combination with capecitabine for the treatment of advanced breast cancer in China (investigator-initiated trial)

This study is a single-arm, phase II investigator-initiated clinical study designed to enroll patients with recurrent or metastatic HER2-negative breast cancer who had previously received taxane- and/or anthracycline-containing chemotherapy regimens. Participants received combination therapy with Utidelone Capsules plus capecitabine to evaluate efficacy and safety. A total of 39 patients were enrolled. The median age was 56 years; 75.8% of patients had ≥2 metastatic sites, the median number of prior treatment lines was 2, 87.9% had received prior taxane therapy, and


APPENDIX II

REPORT ON THE WORK OF THE BOARD FOR 2025

75.8% had received prior anthracycline therapy. Among the 37 evaluable patients, 18 achieved PR, of whom 15 had confirmed PR. The unconfirmed ORR was 48.6%. As of the latest follow-up, 6 patients remained on treatment, including 4 patients who had been on therapy for more than 1 year. The incidence of any ≥grade 3 Utidelone Capsule-related treatment- TRAEs was below 10%. No grade 3 or higher peripheral neuropathy was observed, and no treatment-related deaths occurred.

Utidelone Capsule phase I clinical trial in the United States (completed)

The primary objective of this study, the first to enter human clinical studies of Utidelone Capsule worldwide, is to examine the safety profile and tolerability of Utidelone Capsule for patients with advanced solid tumors in the United States, and secondary objectives include evaluating the efficacy and PK behavior of Utidelone Capsule. The study has been completed. Patients were treated with Utidelone Capsule monotherapy. The starting dose was 5-day 25 mg/m²/d for 2 patients, with planned escalation to 5-day 50, 75, 100 mg/m²/d and 7-day 70 mg/m²/d for 2, 6, 3 and 2 patients, respectively in a 21-day cycle. All patients had received prior treatment in advanced settings with maximal 9 lines. Two DLTs of Grade 3 and Grade 4 diarrhea occurred, one at 5-day 100 mg/m²/d and one at 7-day 70 mg/m²/d. MTD was determined to be 5-day 75 mg/m²/d. 11 patients were evaluated for efficacy with an outcome of 1 CR (ovarian cancer), 1 PR (ovarian cancer), 7 SD (testicular Sertoli cell tumor, NSCLC×2, pancreatic adenocarcinoma×2, appendiceal adenocarcinoma and soft tissue sarcoma), with the longest DoT of 12 cycles. The ORR was 18.2% and the CBR was 81.8%. The most frequent TEAEs were Grade 1/2, including diarrhea, fatigue, nausea, peripheral sensory neuropathy, vomiting, and decreased appetite (≥20% incidence rate), which recovered with supportive treatments. This study demonstrates encouraging anti-tumor activity with manageable safety of Utidelone Capsule in patients with heavily pre-treated advanced solid tumors. The latest research findings have been presented as a poster at the 2025 ASCO annual meeting.

This yields an ORR of 64.3% and a DCR of 100%, with a median PFS of 7 months, which indicate favorable overall safety profile. Final data will be available following accrual of a sufficient number of evaluable patients and completion of the planned statistical analysis.

Phase III clinical study of Utidelone Capsule combined with capecitabine in adjuvant intensive treatment for early TNBC that did not achieve complete pathological remission after neoadjuvant treatment

Adjuvant chemotherapy options for TNBC patients are very limited. Utidelone Capsule can improve medication compliance and reduce patient's hospital stay, enhance convenience, support long-term treatment, and substantially lower clinical

treatment costs for patients. Meanwhile, Utidelone's previous safety data supports its long-term administration, which is beneficial for long-term adjuvant intensive treatment. The study is planned to enroll 440 patients with early TNBC who had previously received neoadjuvant chemotherapy and had not achieved complete pathological remission after surgery, in order to evaluate the 3-year invasive disease free survival (IDFS) rate, overall survival (OS) rate and safety profile of Utidelone Capsule in combination with capecitabine compared to the capecitabine monotherapy for adjuvant treatment of early TNBC patients that had not achieved complete pathological remission after neoadjuvant treatment. Currently, the enrollment of the study is progressing vigorously.

Utidelone antibody drug conjugate

The Company is building a next-generation antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) technology platform with fully independent intellectual property rights. This platform focuses on systematic innovation around two core elements: a differentiated payload system and linkers. Unlike prevailing ADC products that commonly use widely adopted payloads such as MMAE or Topo I inhibitors, this platform innovatively employs the Company's proprietary Utidelone and other epothilone derivatives as the core toxin molecules, which can be selectively combined with Topo I inhibitors to develop dual-payload or multi-payload ADC drugs. Utidelone and other epothilone derivative payloads belong to the class of epothilone-based microtubule-stabilizing agents. They exhibit potent antitumor activity, excellent cell membrane permeability, potential to overcome P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-mediated multidrug resistance in tumor cells, a well-defined mechanism of action, and a favorable safety profile, conferring significant differentiated competitive advantages in the ADC field.

Regarding linker selection, the Company has conducted systematic optimization and structural design of the linker moiety. Through site-specific conjugation and structure-based engineering, a higher and more controlled drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR) has been achieved while maintaining excellent in vivo stability. It also enables targeted modulation of the release kinetics of different payloads. A higher DAR is expected to significantly improve the payload delivery efficiency per antibody molecule, thereby enhancing cytotoxic potency against tumor cells while expanding the therapeutic window through optimized pharmacokinetic profiles. This platform is designed to address key clinical challenges associated with traditional ADCs including insufficient efficacy, the emergence of resistance, and safety constraints, providing a more promising therapeutic alternative for patients with solid tumors and refractory malignancies.

Preclinical studies are currently advancing vigorously, with the goal of reaching the INDenabling stage in 2026.

2. Strategic marketing cooperation

During the Reporting Period, the cooperation with Qingdao Baheal Medical INC.* (青島百洋醫藥股份有限公司) in terms of marketing service for Utidelone Injection was further strengthened. We are of the opinion that the Group will take this opportunity to integrate resources more efficiently, further expand the market space of its core products, maximize the scientific and commercial value of the Group's technology platform, accelerate the research and development and implementation of more pipeline projects, and lay a solid foundation for the sustainable development and value creation of the enterprise through cooperation with companies with excellent commercialization capabilities.

3. Intellectual property

During the Reporting Period, we successively secured PCT patent grants for oral formulations of Utidelone in Canada and South Korea, and for Utidelone liposomes in Europe. Notably, we obtained a U.S. PCT grant for the genetically engineered microbial strains used in the fermentative production of Utidelone. The molecular structure of Utidelone is highly complex, making efficient large-scale production and industrialization via total chemical synthesis or semi-synthesis exceedingly difficult. Furthermore, chemically synthesized products exhibit significant disparities compared to those produced through microbial fermentation of genetically engineered strains in terms of quality standards, pharmacological properties, production costs, and clinical safety. The patented genetically engineered strain was developed using the Company's proprietary synthetic biology platform, enabling the industrialized production of Utidelone through fermentation processes. As this genetically engineered strain is both the prerequisite and the core starting material for Utidelone production, this patent grant creates a formidable global barrier to entry for generics. Consequently, the entry of generic Utidelone into the market is rendered virtually impossible until the patent expires in 2041.

We have also aggressively expanded our patent strategy through new applications and entries into the national phase, including patents relating to antibody-drug conjugates of Utidelone or its derivatives, PCT patents related to Utidelone cyclodextrin inclusion complex, PCT patents related to Utidelone for the treatment of various solid tumor indications, and albumin-bound Utidelone nanoparticles related PCT patents.

Options granted prior to the termination of the Share Option Scheme shall continue to be valid unless otherwise required.

Exercise of Options

(a) Exercise Procedure: Options may be exercised by the Grantee (or their personal representative in the event of death) by serving a written notice to the Company and/or the Authorized Person and paying the Exercise Price in full after the vesting period and/or performance conditions are satisfied. Upon exercise, the Company shall instruct the Authorized Person to transfer the corresponding number of existing Shares held as treasury shares or new Shares allotted and issued to the Trustee to the Grantee.

(b) Funding and Payment: Grantees shall pay the full Exercise Price upon exercise. The Company may assist Grantees with funding arrangements, including but not limited to cash exercise, cashless exercise (broker-assisted), or share-swap exercise,

provided such arrangements comply with the Listing Rules. The Company shall not provide financial assistance to Grantees for the subscription of Shares unless it complies with the Listing Rules and relevant regulations.

(c) Appointment and Management of Trustee: The Company shall appoint an independent professional institution to act as the Trustee. Irrespective of the source of the Shares, all underlying Shares shall be held by the Trustee under the Trust Deed before they are vested in the Selected Participants. The Authorized Person has the power to issue instructions to the Trustee on behalf of the Company to execute the purchase, receipt, vesting, recovery, cancellation, or disposal of the Shares.

For Options that have already been exercised or vested, the Company reserves the right to exercise its rights of recourse and clawback in accordance with below section:

(a) violation of national laws and regulations, the Articles of Association, or the Company's internal management rules and regulations; or the occurrence of serious dereliction of duty or malpractice as stipulated in the labor contract; or acts that severely damage the interests or reputation of the Company, or cause direct or indirect economic losses to the Company (amounting to RMB30,000 or above);

(b) the Company has evidence proving that the Selected Participant, during their term of office, committed illegal or disciplinary acts that damage the Company's interests or reputation, such as acceptance of bribes, solicitation of bribes, corruption, theft, or leakage of operational and technical secrets;

(c) being held criminally liable according to the law due to criminal conduct;

(d) other acts deemed by the Company to be detrimental to the Company's interests.

Recovery and Clawback Mechanism

(a) Triggering Events: The Board has the right to exercise clawback rights if any of the events in above occur, or if there is a material misstatement in the financial statements, or if the Board considers that the participant's misconduct has caused reputational damage to the Company.

(b) Forms of Clawback: The Company or the Authorized Person may, at its/his absolute discretion, require the participant to:

(i) return all or part of the after-tax net proceeds derived from the exercise of Options or vesting of Awards;

6. Implementation, Vesting and Exercise

Nature and Transferability of Rights

(a) Non-transferability: Options and Share Awards are personal to the Grantee and shall not be transferable, assignable, or chargeable. Any attempt to transfer, sell, pledge, create security over, or otherwise dispose of the Options shall be null and void. This restriction shall not apply to legal succession or estate management upon death, where the heirs shall acquire the same rights but remain subject to the non-transferability restriction.

(b) No Shareholder Rights: A Grantee shall not be entitled to any shareholder rights (including dividend rights, voting rights, and the right to receive dividends) before the Options are exercised and the issuance or transfer of the underlying Shares is completed and registered. Any capital adjustment (such as dividends, bonus issues, rights issues, etc.) before the exercise or vesting of Options shall not affect the nature of the aforementioned rights.

Alteration of Rights

(a) Change in Position: Where a Selected Participant's position changes but they remain an employee of the Company, or are seconded to an affiliated company as appointed in writing by the Company, the Options granted shall remain unchanged.

(b) Capital Structure Changes: In the event of any alteration in the capital structure of the Company (such as share subdivision, consolidation, bonus issue, capitalization of reserves, or rights issue), the number of outstanding Options or the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by the Board based on the principles of fairness and reasonableness. Any such adjustment shall comply with the following principles:

(i) the adjustment shall be made based on a whole Option as the minimum unit (no fractional Options or Shares);

(ii) no adjustment shall result in the issue price of a Share being lower than its nominal value;


APPENDIX VI

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

(iii) accounting treatment shall comply with the requirements of Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standard 2 (HKFRS 2), including the reasonable accounting of the impact of discount adjustments on fair value;

(iv) material adjustments (including potential scenarios where the share price is lower than nominal value) must be subject to a fairness opinion from an independent financial adviser and approved by the Shareholders;

(v) any scheme and reasons for any adjustment must be disclosed in the annual report.

Termination of Employment Relationship

(a) Termination due to Death: In the event of death, the vested but unexercised Options may be exercised by the personal representative(s) of the employee within the period prescribed by the Scheme (typically within 12 months from the date of death).

(b) Termination due to Ill-health or Disability: For termination due to health or disability not caused by fault, Options that have met the vesting conditions may be exercised or vested within 3 months from the date of termination. The Board may also, at its discretion, grant part or all of the unvested Options.

(c) Termination due to Retirement or Resignation: For termination due to retirement or voluntary resignation, Options that have met the vesting conditions may be exercised or vested within 3 months from the date of termination, while unvested Options shall automatically lapse.

(d) Dismissal for Cause: If a Grantee is dismissed due to material breach of contract, violation of company rules, or misconduct, the Board has the right to cancel all granted but unexercised or unvested Options (regardless of whether vesting conditions have been met), and the Grantee shall have no right to object.

(e) Change of Control: In the event of a change of control of the Company (as defined in the Codes on Takeovers and Mergers and Share Buy-backs), the Board may, at its discretion:

(i) accelerate the vesting of all unvested Options immediately; or

(ii) arrange for the new company to assume the rights and obligations under the Share Option Scheme, with appropriate adjustments to the terms of the Options based on the specific circumstances.

Such Awards shall continue to be valid in accordance with the terms of the Scheme until they are vested, lapsed, or cancelled.

(b) Termination upon Expiry: The Share Option Scheme shall automatically terminate upon the expiry of its 10-year validity period.

(c) Treatment after Termination: Upon the termination of the Share Option Scheme, no further Options shall be granted.
