SinoMab BioScience Limited Interim Report 2025


Chairman's Statement

img-0.jpeg

Dr. Shui On LEUNG

Chairman, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer

Dear valued Shareholders,

On behalf of the Board, I hereby present the interim report of the Company (together with its subsidiaries) for the six months ended 30 June 2025.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

The biotechnology and biopharmaceutical industries are undergoing a profound transformation. Building on traditional expertise in experimental medicine and breakthroughs in molecular biology (molecular medicine), the industry is now entering its third revolution — the “Biotech 3.0 Era”. This new phase is characterised by innovation-driven development, multidisciplinary integration, and intelligent, precision-driven processes across the entire supply chain.

We are well-positioned to leverage this era’s opportunity for strategic growth. Since our establishment, we have been adhering to the principle of differentiated innovation, prioritising our R&D efforts on “first-in-class” and “best-in-class” novel therapeutics for immunological diseases. During the Reporting Period, the Company achieved breakthrough progress in two key product pipelines, SM03 (Suciraslimab) and SM17.

Our flagship product, Suciraslimab, is a first-in-class monoclonal antibody targeting CD22. Recently, Suciraslimab achieved groundbreaking preclinical results from in vivo studies for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (“SLE”). Leveraging its unique mechanism: modulating the autoimmune networks through B cell regulation and interaction, with multi-organ protective effects, Suciraslimab not only significantly reduces serum levels of anti-double-stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA) antibodies but also demonstrates superiority over existing drugs in improving proteinuria and renal pathology in lupus nephritis (“LN”).

Interim Report 2025 SinoMab BioScience Limited


Currently, there are over 5 million SLE patients worldwide, with over 1 million in the People's Republic of China (“China”). Approximately 50% of these patients may develop LN, a complication that is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease and death. Existing treatment options either fail to improve kidney damage or have limited efficacy for LN, and long-term medication poses infection risk. This breakthrough in the treatment of SLE with Suciraslimab is expected to address the unmet needs in SLE treatment, addressing the safety risks of long-term medication and delivering protective benefit without actual organ damage, providing a new, more effective and safer treatment option for the over 5 million SLE patients worldwide.

The Biologics Licence Application (“BLA”) for Suciraslimab for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (“RA”) was accepted by the National Medical Products Administration (“NMPA”) of China in September 2023. The unblinded pivotal Phase 3 data demonstrated Suciraslimab's clear and significant therapeutic efficacy in RA patients. The primary endpoint (ACR20 response rate at Week 24 of the double-blind phase) achieved an approximately 50% response rate and showing statistically significant differences versus the control group. With long-term treatment, ACR20 response rates continued to improve over time and exceeded 65% at Week 52 and surpassed 70% through Week 104 of the extension period, with no new safety risks revealed. Based on the clinical data from the Phase 3 clinical study and extension study, Suciraslimab demonstrated good long-term efficacy and safety.

Taking into account the advantages of SLE as the product's first indication, and based on discussions with the NMPA and the Company's internal evaluation of existing data, the Company has strategically chosen to voluntarily withdraw the BLA application for Suciraslimab in the treatment of RA. Meanwhile, the Company has decided to advance at full speed the clinical development of Suciraslimab for the treatment of SLE.

Furthermore, Suciraslimab modulates microglial function by targeting CD22 and demonstrates potential in treating Alzheimer's disease. It intervenes in the Alzheimer's disease pathology through a dual mechanism: restoring microglial clearance of amyloid β (Aβ), while also downregulating microglial inflammatory signalling pathways to protect neurons. This dual mechanism addresses both Aβ deposition and neuroinflammation, two core pathologies, and has the potential to become the world's first effective and safe immunotherapy for Alzheimer's disease. The Company has initiated planning for a Phase 2 clinical program in the treatment of SLE and is working to enable an Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application for treating Alzheimer's disease.

Another key product in our pipeline, SM17, is a global first-in-class humanised monoclonal antibody targeting the receptor of interleukin 25 (IL-25). It achieves rapid onset of action on pruritic relief, and skin healing, by simultaneously inhibiting downstream factors of the type II inflammatory pathway and directly blocking the IL-25 receptor secreted by traumatic inflamed skin, thereby disrupting downstream itch signalling. During the Reporting Period, a Phase 1b proof-of-concept study for SM17 for the treatment of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (“AD”) was completed and achieved breakthrough topline results: 91.7% of patients achieved pruritus relief (NRS-4), 75% achieved skin healing (EASI 75), and 41.7% achieved clear or almost clear signs of AD (IGA0/1) for the high dose group. This data significantly outperforms IL-4/IL-13 monoclonal antibodies and demonstrates a significantly better safety and tolerability profile than Janus Kinase inhibitors (JAK inhibitors). This makes it potentially the first treatment to simultaneously achieve rapid onset of action on pruritic relief, skin healing with a good safety profile.

There are over 230 million people who suffer from AD globally, including over 70 million in China, 28% of whom suffer from moderate to severe AD. Existing treatment options struggle to achieve a balanced combination of rapid itch relief, skin healing as well as a good safety profile. The results of our SM17 demonstrate its triple advantages in treating AD: rapid pruritic relief, potent skin healing effect as well as a good safety profile. Phase 1 clinical data from the United States and the results of a Phase 1a bridging study in healthy subjects in China of SM17 have been published simultaneously, paving its way for global multicenter development and potential international collaborations. The Company is advancing the clinical bridging study for the dosage formulation conversion of SM17 and expects to complete it by the first quarter of 2026.


In addition, anti-CGC antibodies and bispecific antibodies are also key areas of our future research and development, as well as potential business development (BD) licencing opportunities. Anti-CGC antibodies are another humanised anti-yc antibody developed independently by the Company. They can modulate immune cell proliferation, autoreactivity, and tissue infiltration, potentially offering therapeutic potential for alopecia areata, vitiligo, and other autoimmune diseases. Bispecific antibody targets receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) and sclerostin, thereby achieving the therapeutic effect of osteoporosis. We are advancing preclinical preparations for these two products and expect to submit the IND applications in 2026 .

During the Reporting Period, the Company raised approximately HK$124.0 million through a share subscription and allocated the majority of the proceeds for SM17's advancement and new drug candidates' development, strengthening its clinical value-driven pipeline expansion. The success of share subscription reflects the capital market's recognition of the Company's R&D capabilities and commercialisation prospects. In August 2025, the Company completed another round of share subscriptions, raising approximately HK$369.5 million. With these two rounds of financing this year, the Company will have adequate funds to advance the R&D and clinical development of its pipeline.

In August this year, we entered into a comprehensive strategic cooperation agreement with Sun Yat-sen University Institute of Advanced Studies Hong Kong Limited (“SYSU-IAS”). Through this agreement, we have established a mutually beneficial framework to accelerate the development of innovative drugs and promote the translation of scientific research into clinical applications worldwide. Under the cooperation agreement, the Company will have direct access to SYSU-IAS's comprehensive laboratory facilities and valuable data resources, as well as access to primate and non-primate animal studies supply resources. Please refer to the sub-section headed “Collaboration-SYSU-IAS” under the “Management Discussion and Analysis” section below. These are key elements in promoting novel drug innovation and the Company's R&D development sustainability. Furthermore, to improve new drug R&D efficiency and shorten the development cycle, we are actively exploring the feasibility of using artificial intelligence (AI) technology for new target identification.

OUTLOOK

In the first half of 2025, China's total licence-out transactions for innovative drugs reached US$66 billion, representing an approximately 27.2% increase over the full-year total of US$51.9 billion in 2024. Over 50% of the licenced projects involved preclinical or Phase 1 clinical trials, reflecting international pharmaceutical companies' recognition of China's early-stage innovation.

Furthermore, the NMPA has shortened the approval time for clinical trials of novel drugs from 14 months to 30 days. The National Healthcare Security Administration's (NHSA) “16 Measures for Innovative Drugs” supports reimbursement coverage, further revitalising China's novel drug market. The Central Government's “New Quality Productive Forces” strategy has also provided a favourable environment for our innovative R&D. As the first 18A biopharmaceutical company based in Hong Kong, we will steadfastly uphold innovation as our core competitive advantage, driving forward both the commercialisation of our existing product pipeline and the development of new investigational therapies. We also believe that Suciraslimab and SM17 will further demonstrate their best-in-class potential in subsequent clinical trials, addressing unmet medical needs for patients with SLE and AD.


Management Discussion and Analysis

OVERVIEW

We are the first Hong Kong-based listed biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the research, development, manufacturing and commercialisation of therapeutics, primarily first-in-class monoclonal antibody (“mAb”)-based biologics, for the treatment of immunological diseases. We strive to become a leading global biopharmaceutical company for the development of novel drugs to fulfil unmet medical needs through the integration of our Hong Kong-based innovative research and development (“R&D”) team and PRC-based manufacturing capabilities. We have been dedicated to R&D since our inception, and have built a pipeline of mAb-based biologics and new chemical entities addressing a plethora of immunological diseases.

Our flagship product, SM03 (Suciraslimab), is a potential global first-in-class (FIC) anti-CD22 mAb for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (“RA”) and other immunological and neuro-immunological diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (“SLE”), Sjogren's syndrome (“SS”), mild cognitive impairment (“MCI”) due to Alzheimer's disease, as well as Alzheimer's disease. Recently, Suciraslimab has achieved breakthrough preclinical results from in vivo studies for the treatment of SLE. As a monoclonal antibody targeting CD22 — a sialic acid-binding transmembrane protein primarily expressed on B cells (with high neurological expression, including in microglia, and links to MCI, Alzheimer's disease and other autoimmune conditions) — Suciraslimab leverages its unique mechanism: modulating the autoimmune network through B cell regulation and interaction with other immune effectors like T cells, with multi-organ benefits. It addresses unmet needs in SLE treatment, such as long-term safety and organ protection, particularly showing promise in a murine model for alleviating proteinuria and potentially lupus nephritis (“LN”). This positions it to offer patients a safer, more effective option, and delivering possible differentiation beyond current therapies. As previously disclosed, Suciraslimab met its primary endpoint in a Phase 3 clinical study for the treatment of RA in China and its Biologics Licence Application (“BLA”) was accepted by the National Medical Products Administration of the People's Republic of China (the “NMPA”) in September 2023. Based on the clinical data from the Phase 3 clinical study and extension study, Suciraslimab demonstrated good long-term efficacy and safety. As announced by the Company on 14 July 2025, following communications with the Center of Drug Evaluation (“CDE”) of NMPA and the Company's internal assessment, the Company has strategically chosen to voluntarily withdraw the BLA application for Suciraslimab in the treatment of RA. Meanwhile, the Company has decided to advance at full speed the clinical development of Suciraslimab for the treatment of SLE based on the encouraging pre-clinical results.

Our key product, SM17, is a global first-in-class (FIC), humanised mAb targeting the receptor for IL-25. The compound has the potential for treating atopic dermatitis (“AD”), asthma, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (“IPF”) and other immunological disorders. R&D work on SM17 was carried out in both the U.S. and China. SM17 obtained the Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application for the treatment of asthma from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in March 2022. The clinical report for the U.S. first-in-human (FIH) Phase 1 clinical study was obtained in the first quarter of 2024, data from which demonstrated an overall favourable safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (“PK”) profile for SM17. In April 2024, study results of SM17 pre-clinical work, demonstrating SM17 to be as effective as Janus Kinase 1 inhibitor (“JAK1 inhibitor”) in treating AD in mice, were published in Allergy, an official journal of the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI). In China, SM17 obtained the IND approvals for the treatment of asthma and AD from the NMPA on 11 August 2023 and 8 September 2023, respectively. Phase 1b positive topline results for SM17 for the treatment of moderate to severe AD patients were published by the Company on 7 April 2025. Topline results highlight SM17's strong potential as a novel biologic for AD, demonstrating superior pruritic relief effects and skin clearance comparable to or exceeding leading AD therapies. Notably, SM17 delivers faster and more robust itch relief than other targeted biologics, along with a favourable safety profile that avoids the safety risks associated with Janus Kinase inhibitors (“JAK inhibitors”). These advantages position SM17 as a promising first-in-class and best-in-class treatment for AD, offering patients both rapid symptom relief and durable skin improvement with an excellent benefit-risk profile.


Management Discussion and Analysis

Our other drug candidates, anti-CGC antibody and bispecific antibody candidates are currently in the process of chemistry, manufacturing and control processes (CMC) optimisation and toxicology studies. We are advancing preclinical preparations for these two products and expect to submit IND applications in 2026.

Our other drug candidate, SM06, is a second-generation humanised anti-CD22 antibody derived from Suciraslimab with a similar mechanism of action. Our in-house in vitro studies demonstrated SM06 to have potentially enhanced efficacy in enacting immunomodulatory effects and drug half-life. The compound is at the IND enabling stage, and is currently in the process of optimisation for clinical studies.

Another key product, SN1011, is a third generation covalent reversible Bruton's tyrosine kinase ("BTK") inhibitor. SN1011 was designed to exhibit high selectivity with prolonged but controlled drug exposure to achieve superior efficacy and good safety profile for the potentially long-term treatment of patients with chronic immunological disorders. SN1011 obtained four IND approvals from the NMPA for the treatment of SLE, pemphigus, multiple sclerosis ("MS") and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders ("NMOSD"). In 2021, we entered into a licence agreement with Everest Medicines Limited ("Everest Medicines", as licensee), to out-licence the right to develop and commercialise SN1011 globally for the treatment of renal diseases. Subsequent to the positive results in preliminary analysis announced by Everest Medicines in December 2024 of its ongoing Phase 1b/2a clinical trial of EVER001 (known as SN1011 in the Company's product pipeline) for the treatment of primary membranous nephropathy (pMN) in China, Everest Medicine further announced on 2 July 2025 of its updated positive results based on its data analysis as of 21 March 2025.

Flagship Product

SM03 (Suciraslimab)

Our self-developed SM03 (Suciraslimab) is a potential global first-in-class anti-CD22 mAb for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other immunological and neuroimmunological diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Sjogren’s syndrome (SS), mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer’s disease, as well as Alzheimer’s disease. Suciraslimab adopts a novel mechanism of action, which differentiates itself from the current treatments available in the market.

In July 2025, Suciraslimab achieved breakthrough preclinical results from in vivo studies for the treatment of SLE. As a monoclonal antibody targeting CD22 — a sialic acid-binding transmembrane protein primarily expressed on B cells (with high neurological expression, including in microglia, and links to MCI, Alzheimer’s disease and other autoimmune conditions) — Suciraslimab leverages its unique mechanism: modulating the autoimmune network through B cell regulation and interaction with other immune effectors like T cells, with multi-organ benefits. It addresses unmet needs in SLE treatment, such as long-term safety and organ protection, particularly showing promise in a murine model for alleviating proteinuria and potentially lupus nephritis (LN). This positions it to offer patients a safer, more effective option, and delivering possible differentiation beyond current therapies. The novel mechanism of Suciraslimab confers three key competitive advantages in the treatment of SLE.

Suciraslimab met its primary endpoint in a Phase 3 clinical study for the treatment of RA in China in April 2023 and its BLA for the treatment of RA was accepted by the NMPA in September 2023. The unblinded pivotal Phase 3 data demonstrated Suciraslimab’s clear and significant therapeutic efficacy in RA patients. The primary endpoint (ACR20 response rate at Week 24 of the double-blind phase) achieved an approximately 50% response rate and showed statistically significant differences versus the control group. With long-term treatment, ACR20 response rates continued to improve over time and exceeded 65% at Week 52 and surpassed 70% through Week 104 of the extension period, with no new safety risks revealed. Based on the clinical data from the Phase 3 clinical study and extension study, Suciraslimab demonstrated good long-term efficacy and safety. On 14 July 2025, the Company announced that, following recent communications with the CDE of the NMPA and the Company’s internal assessment, the Company has strategically chosen to voluntarily withdraw the BLA application for Suciraslimab in the treatment of RA. Meanwhile, the Company has decided to advance at full speed the clinical development of Suciraslimab for the treatment of SLE.

B Cell Modulation Without Depletion:

Unlike traditional B cell depletion therapies (BCDTs) such as anti-CD20 agents, Suciraslimab specifically modulates autoreactive B cells without depleting normal B cells, thereby reducing infection risks and preserving immune surveillance.

Dual Mechanism and Dual Regulation:

Suciraslimab acts through a dual mechanism involving both upstream inhibition of autoreactive B cell activation and autoantibody production, which addresses humoral immune dysregulation (humoral immune axis), while also modulating B cell interactions with other immune cells. This dual regulation of both the humoral immune axis and the broader immune network leads to systemic control of autoreactive inflammation.

Interim Report 2025 SinoMab BioScience Limited


Management Discussion and Analysis

Organ Protection:

Suciraslimab offers a unique advantage among competitors by reducing proteinuria and mitigating immune complex-mediated glomerular tissue damage, which is critical in LN. Furthermore, through its dual-regulation effects, Suciraslimab alleviates immune-driven pulmonary complications in SLE, such as recurrent alveolar hemorrhage or pulmonary arterial hypertension. These organ-protective effects have clinical significance and are vital for treatment prognosis in SLE.

By utilising a humanised animal (murine) model that closely recapitulates key pathological features of human systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)—including the production of pathogenic autoantibodies, multi-organ immune complex deposition, and progressive tissue damage — Suciraslimab treatment demonstrated distinct and favourable immunomodulatory properties. Suciraslimab selectively inhibits activated B cell subsets (e.g., CD27+/CD38+) while sparing the overall B cell population, marking a significant differentiation from prevailing immunosuppression therapies induced by commercially available drugs. Notably, Suciraslimab significantly reduces serum levels of anti-double-stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA) antibodies. These findings hold clinical significance, as anti-dsDNA antibodies are highly prevalent, found in approximately 70% of SLE patients. These autoantibodies not only serve as biomarkers for disease activity but also contribute directly to organ damage by forming immune complexes in tissues such as kidneys, skin, and joints. These complexes activate the complement cascade and drive progressive organ injury, playing a particularly critical role in the pathological deterioration of LN.

Current B cell-targeted therapies in clinical use can reduce autoantibody levels but often fail to significantly improve end-organ damage — an issue particularly prominent in LN, which affects approximately 50% of SLE patients. Moreover, systemic complications such as pulmonary interstitial disease also lack effective therapies. In contrast, Suciraslimab has demonstrated breakthrough organ-protective effects in preclinical studies: it restored proteinuria to levels comparative to those in healthy animals while significantly reducing the intensity of glomerular immune complex deposition. Additionally, Suciraslimab suppressed pulmonary inflammatory infiltration and fibrosis progression, with histopathological improvements surpassing those observed with comparator drugs.

This differentiated advantage stems from Suciraslimab's novel mechanism of action: by regulating autoreactive B cell function in a non-depleting manner, it modulates autoantibody production while enhancing B cell interactions with other immune cells to regulate immune cell interaction networks, thereby suppressing downstream immune cell activation cascades. This enables coordinated protection across multiple organs. Given its clearly demonstrated in vivo efficacy and favourable safety profile, Suciraslimab is expected to be a superior therapeutic option for LN and multi-organ damage in SLE.

Beyond its potential therapeutic effects in SLE, Suciraslimab has also shown promise as a candidate for treating neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer's disease. A paper titled "CD22 modulation alleviates amyloid β-induced neuroinflammation" unveiling the dual mechanism of action of Suciraslimab in simultaneously promoting amyloid-beta clearance and exerting anti-inflammatory effects was published in the Journal of Neuroinflammation in February 2025.

The Company has initiated planning for a Phase 2 clinical program for Suciraslimab in the treatment of SLE and is working to enable an IND application for using Suciraslimab for treating Alzheimer's disease.

Key Products

SM17

SM17 is a global, first-in-class, humanised, IgG4-κ mAb which is capable of modulating Type II allergic reaction by targeting the receptor of a critical “alarmin” molecule interleukin 25 (IL-25). SM17 could suppress T helper 2 (Th2) immune responses by binding to IL-25 receptor (also known as IL-17RB) on Type 2 Innate Lymphoid cells (ILC2s) and Th2 cells, blocking a cascade of responses induced by IL-25 and suppressing the release of the downstream Th2 cytokines such as IL-4, IL-5, IL-9 and IL-13. IL-25 is classified as “alarmin” which is overexpressed in biopsy tissues of patients with asthma, atopic dermatitis (AD) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Our in vitro studies clearly demonstrated that SM17 can suppress IL-25 induced type 2 immunity and the underlying mechanism supports its potential benefits in treating allergic and autoimmune diseases, such as AD, asthma and IPF.

When we evaluated SM17 in two murine asthma models induced by ovalbumin or house dust mite, blockage of IL-25 signalling pathway by SM17 offered protection against airway resistance and type 2 immune response in the lungs. SM17 also significantly reduced immune cell infiltration into the lung and serum levels of IgE. In another 1-Fluoro-2, 4-dinitrobenzene (DNFB) driven murine atopic dermatitis model, SM17 administration could attenuate epidermal thickening and improve skin condition by suppressing Th2 immune responses and immune cell infiltration into the skin layers. We expect that targeting upstream mediators of the Th2 inflammatory cascade, such as the receptor for IL-25, will have a broader effect on reducing airway resistance as well as skin inflammation.

R&D work of SM17 was carried out in both the U.S. and China. In the U.S. an IND application for asthma was submitted in February 2022 and approved by the FDA in March 2022. The first healthy subject was successfully dosed in a first-in-human Phase 1 clinical trial (NCT05332834) in the U.S. in June 2022. The Phase 1 clinical study consisting of single ascending dose and multiple ascending dose cohorts to evaluate its safety, tolerability and PK profile in healthy subjects was completed in 2023 with the Last Subject Last Visit (LSLV) completed in September 2023. The total number of healthy subjects enrolled in this Phase 1 study was 77. The clinical report was obtained in the first quarter of 2024, data from which demonstrated an overall favourable safety, tolerability and PK profile for SM17. Study results of SM17 pre-clinical work, demonstrating SM17 to be as effective as JAK1 inhibitor in treating AD in mice, were published in Allergy, an official journal of the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI), on 9 April 2024. Results from pre-clinical models and Phase 1 clinical study of SM17 on healthy participants were also published in Frontiers in Immunology, on 9 December 2024.

In China, an IND application for asthma was submitted in May 2023 and was approved by the NMPA on 11 August 2023, while another IND application for AD was submitted in June 2023 and was approved by the NMPA on 8 September 2023. A bridging Phase 1a clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability and PK profile in the Chinese population was completed in China in May 2024. Results indicated SM17 to have good tolerability and safety profile and comparable PK profile as in Caucasian population. A proof-of-concept Phase 1b clinical trial was initiated to evaluate the preliminary efficacy of SM17 in moderate to severe AD patients in China. A total of 32 moderate-to-severe AD patients were enrolled in this Phase 1b study, and positive topline results for this Phase 1b clinical trial were published by the Company on 7 April 2025. Clinical data demonstrated that a high dose of SM17 achieved promising results, showing obvious improvement from baseline in all other secondary endpoints, including skin healing effect (EASI50, 75, 90, BSA, SCORAD) and patients' quality of life (DLQI). For the high dose group, 91.7% of patients achieved pruritus relief (NRS-4), 75% achieved skin healing (EASI 75), and 41.7% achieved clear or almost clear signs of AD (IGA0/1). A low dose of SM17, albeit not as effective as the high dose group, also showed a dose-response trend in alleviating pruritus symptoms, as well as improvement in skin healing by comparing with placebo. Based on the topline results, SM17 demonstrates its competitive advantage as the first AD biologic with dual efficacy in pruritus relief and skin-healing. It delivers faster and deeper itch relief compared to anti-IL-4/13 agents and has a safer profile than JAK inhibitors, positioning SM17 as a potential first-in class and best-in-class treatment for AD. The Company is advancing the clinical bridging study for the dosage formulation conversion of SM17 and is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2026.


The strong topline results from SM17's Phase 1b proof-of-concept study in AD give us a solid basis to move our clinical program forward. We plan to advance to later-stage development in a way that fits our strategy, financial means, and global goals.

The compound has the potential for treating AD, asthma, IPF, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), and other immunological disorders.

Management Discussion and Analysis

PRODUCTION

We have a production base in Haikou, Hainan Province, and we are also constructing our second production base in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province.

We are also assessing the feasibility of transitioning to a light-asset model. Although our existing facilities were essential under earlier regulatory frameworks, the current trend toward outsourcing production to contract development and manufacturing organisations (CDMOs) offers cost advantages and operational flexibility. Depending on market demand and partnership opportunities, we may consider transitioning manufacturing to external providers to optimise resource allocation.

Haikou Production Base

We carry out our manufacturing activities at our Haikou production base, where we manufacture our drug candidates for pre-clinical research, clinical trials and future large-scale production. The Haikou production base occupies a total operational area of approximately 19,163 square metres with a production capacity of 1,200 litres. The plant has an operational area consisting of a clean area for processing, a controlled-not-classified (CNC) area for supporting activities, utility rooms, quality control laboratories, warehouse and administrative offices and R&D laboratories for on-going and new product development projects. Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) inspection at our Haikou production base, a necessary requirement for BLA approval, was completed in January 2024.

Suzhou Production Base

We purchased a piece of land of 43,158 square metres in Suzhou Dushu Lake Higher Education Town, China in June 2020. The total floor area would be approximately 75,000 square metres. The new production base is designed as commercial-scale manufacturing facilities. The construction works were completed in late 2024. Completion inspection is expected to be approved in late 2025 for the grant of Real Estate Ownership Certificate.

R&D ACTIVITIES OF FLAGSHIP PRODUCT

Our flagship product SM03 (Suciraslimab) is a global first-in-class anti-CD22 mAb for the treatment of RA, and other immunological and neuro-immunological diseases such as SLE, SS, MCI due to Alzheimer's disease as well as Alzheimer's disease. As announced by the Company on 14 July 2025, following the communications with the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of the NMPA, and the Company's internal assessment, the Company has strategically chosen to voluntary withdraw the BLA application for Suciraslimab in the treatment of RA.

Recently in July 2025, Suciraslimab achieved groundbreaking preclinical results from in vivo studies for the treatment of SLE, showing promise in a murine model for alleviating proteinuria and potentially LN. The novel mechanism of Suciraslimab confers three key competitive advantages by "B Cell Modulation Without Depletion", "Dual Mechanism and Dual Regulation" and "Organ Protection" in the treatment of SLE. The Company has initiated planning for a Phase 2 clinical programme for Suciraslimab in the treatment of SLE and is working to enable an IND application for using Suciraslimab for treating Alzheimer's disease.

FUTURE PROSPECTS

We strive to become a leading global biopharmaceutical company for the development of novel drugs to fulfil unmet medical needs through our Hong Kong-based innovative R&D team and PRC-based manufacturing capabilities. Our vision is to become a global leader in the innovation of therapeutics for immunological and other debilitating diseases.

Our portfolio of drug candidates spans multiple therapeutic areas across the immunological field which, we believe, will enable us to provide comprehensive treatment options for field-wide indications to patients. We believe our dedication, experience and achievements in the field of immunology have expedited the process, and elevated the industry standard, for the discovery and development of novel therapeutics against a variety of immunological diseases. We have accumulated significant experience in the discovery of new treatment modalities for immunological diseases, which will allow us to better capture a substantial share of the immunological disease market. We believe that our strategic specialisation and dedicated focus on immunological diseases is an effective way to differentiate ourselves from our peers. By specialising in innovative treatments of immunological diseases, we seek to solidify our leading position in the field, thereby creating a higher barrier to entry for our peers to compete with us in the development of first-in-class drug candidates.

Further, our product pipeline is backed by our established full-spectrum platform integrating in-house capabilities across the industry chain, from our strong and independent target identification, drug candidate development, pre-clinical research, clinical trials, clinical production, quality control, quality assurance, regulatory approval and commercial-scale production up to the commercialisation stage, as well as all other processes in the discovery and development of our drug candidates. We believe that this full-fledged capability is matched by only a few biopharmaceutical companies in the Greater China region. With a diverse and expanding product pipeline, we believe that we are well positioned to become an industry leader in the development of treatments for immunological diseases.

The Group will continue to focus on exploring international partnerships for our pipeline product, especially for our SM17, anti-CGC antibody and bispecific antibody candidates, further develop our existing product pipeline, discover and develop novel drugs for the treatment of immunological diseases by leveraging our R&D capabilities and strengthen our global presence through leveraging our position as a Hong Kong-based biopharmaceutical company.

Apart from continuously expanding our product pipeline and advancing our clinical development, we will also continue to actively explore strategic collaboration opportunities. We have developed a pipeline of pre-clinical, clinical and pre-registration stage first-in-class assets addressing various inflammatory and immunological diseases. To maximise the commercial values of our assets as well as to accelerate the development of our innovative drug candidates, we are open to collaboration, partnerships and licencing agreements with partners worldwide.

Clinical Development Plan

We will advance clinical trials for SM03 (Suciraslimab) for SLE and other autoimmune diseases to broaden its therapeutic uses for addressing other unmet medical needs. Regulatory pathways to extrapolate the clinical indications of neuro-immunological diseases, Alzheimer's disease, for Suciraslimab will also be sought. The initiation of an IND application for Alzheimer's disease and proof-of-concept Phase 2 clinical study for SLE in China are also in our plans.

Interim Report 2025 SinoMab BioScience Limited


In respect of SM17, the first-in-human Phase 1 clinical trial in the U.S. was completed in 2023. The Last Subject Last Visit (LSLV) was completed in September 2023 and the total number of healthy subjects enrolled in the Phase 1 clinical trial was 77. The clinical report was obtained in the first quarter of 2024 which demonstrated an overall favourable safety, tolerability and PK profile for SM17. Two additional IND submissions, for the treatment of asthma and AD were filed with the NMPA in the first half of 2023 and were subsequently approved by the NMPA on 11 August 2023 and 8 September 2023, respectively. A bridging Phase 1a clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability and PK profile in the Chinese population was completed in China in May 2024. A total of 32 moderate-to-severe AD patients were enrolled in a Phase 1b study, and positive topline results for this Phase 1b clinical trial were published by the Company on 7 April 2025. The Phase 1b clinical trial aims to explore the preliminary efficacy of SM17 in moderate to severe AD patients, as well as to study safety, tolerability and PK profile of SM17. We also plan to submit IND applications in both the U.S. and China for the treatment of IPF with SM17. The Company is advancing the clinical bridging study for the dosage formulation conversion of SM17 and expects to complete it by the first quarter of 2026.

Pre-clinical R&D

We have built a pre-clinical R&D platform for studying pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases, as well as exploring and identifying treatments for them. Our internal R&D team will continue to discover novel mechanisms for treatments of multiple autoimmune disease areas for rheumatology, neuroimmunology, respiratory and dermatology. Our R&D team possesses the capability of generating pre-clinical pharmacology internally and is developing in-depth collaboration with well-known clinical KOLs from our ongoing clinical programs. By utilising its established business and cooperation relationships with vendors and partners, the Company is in the process of generating and collecting the IND-enabling data package for our products under pre-clinical development, such as SM06, and will thereafter conduct pre-clinical studies to test their efficacies, safety and PK/pharmacodynamics, and fulfil other regulatory requirements.

Our SM06 is currently at the IND enabling stage and is in the process of optimisation for clinical trials. We will advance the first IND application process, aiming for a bio-better product development for known indications based on the good therapeutic potential of Suciraslimab, as well as further exploration into other immunological diseases.

Our anti-CGC antibody and bispecific antibody candidates are currently in the process of CMC optimisation and toxicology studies.

Novel drug targets identification

The Company has been actively exploring novel targets identification and has developed a strong team of R&D talents with a mix of resources that instil an innovative culture at all levels. Led by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, who also undertakes the function of the Chief Scientific Officer, the research team has established five strategic in-house platforms, namely, the “B-cell Therapeutic Platform”, “Alarmins-pathway Therapeutic Platform”, “Selective-T Cell Therapeutic Platform”, “Neurological Disease Platform” and “Antibody Framework-Patching Humanisation Platform” that allow the Company to continuously identify novel drug targets and develop new antibody candidates, broadening and enriching our product pipelines for other autoimmune diseases with unmet medical needs.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)

SLE treatment refers to a range of medical interventions aimed at managing and alleviating the symptoms of the disease. SLE is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterised by the immune system attacking the body's own tissues and organs, resulting in widespread inflammation and tissue damage. In recent years, the incidence of SLE has been rising globally, and the SLE treatment market is experiencing unprecedented rapid expansion. According to a report by Frost & Sullivan, there are currently approximately 1.0349 million SLE patients in China, a figure projected to increase to 1.0947 million by 2030. Research Nester estimates that the global SLE treatment market exceeded USD 2.4 billion in 2024 and is forecasted to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 7.8%, reaching over USD 6.37 billion by 2037.

Atopic Dermatitis (AD)

As a long-standing chronic disease, new cases of AD are growing rapidly globally with broad market potential. Patients with AD have an increasing all-cause mortality rate and disease-specific mortality rate in diseases, such as infections, respiratory diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, and oncological diseases. Currently approved therapies for AD, including biologics, can significantly improve eczema area and severity index and patient's quality of life. However, there is still an unmet medical need for patients showing irresponsiveness to those approved therapies. According to Frost & Sullivan, there were approximately 65.7 million AD patients in China in 2019 with an expected growth to 81.7 million in 2030, of which 30% being moderate-to-severe patients. The AD medicine market in China was valued at US$600 million in 2019, and has reached US$1.5 billion in 2024, further increasing to US$4.3 billion in 2030. According to a report by Grand View Research, Inc., the global market size for AD is estimated to reach US$27.7 billion by 2030. We believe the mechanism of action of SM17 by targeting upstream of the Th2 inflammatory cytokine pathway, such as IL-25 receptor, will have broad effects on skin inflammation, implicating a great potential for SM17 to be a differentiating, safer and more effective product for the treatment of AD.

Interim Report 2025 SinoMab BioScience Limited


Management Discussion and Analysis

Asthma

The number of asthma patients worldwide is increasing year by year, and a large patient base is in urgent need of effective therapeutic drugs. According to Frost & Sullivan, the number of asthma patients worldwide is expected to increase to approximately 860 million in 2030, of which 78.1 million will be in China, a country with a higher growth rate than that for the global patient population. Severe, uncontrolled asthma patients are at risk of recurrent asthma exacerbations and hospitalisations, and uncontrolled severe asthma is associated with increased mortality/morbidity, diminished quality of life and increased health expenditures. Current approved therapies for severe asthma, including biologics, can reduce asthma exacerbations to a certain extent. However, there is still an unmet medical need for additional effective therapies, particularly for patients who do not respond to current treatments. We believe the mechanism of action of SM17 by targeting upstream of the Th2 inflammatory cytokine pathway, such as IL-25 receptor, will have broad effects on airway inflammation, which is expected to provide a new therapeutic channel with efficacy and safety for asthma diseases and bring relief and treatment to asthma patients.

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)

According to Frost & Sullivan, the global market for autoimmune disease drugs is expected to increase from US$120.5 billion in 2020 to US$163.8 billion in 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.1%. The overall scale of existing patients with autoimmune diseases in China is huge. According to “Rheumatoid Arthritis in China: A National Report of 2020” issued by the National Clinical Research Center for Dermatologic and Immunologic Diseases in October 2021, there are about 5 million RA patients in China. With the continuous improvement of the diagnosis and treatment rate of autoimmune diseases in China and the continuous progress of related medical technologies, the market size of RA in China is expected to expand rapidly. According to Frost & Sullivan, the RA therapeutics market in the PRC is expected to reach RMB83.3 billion by 2030, or at a CAGR of 16.8%. The biologics market share in the RA therapeutics market in PRC is expected to increase from 43.4% in 2024 to 59.8% in 2030. We have been focusing on the R&D of mAb drugs in the field of autoimmune diseases for more than 20 years and our existing product pipeline covers all indications in the field of autoimmune diseases. We are one of a few biopharmaceutical companies in China with full-fledged capability that integrates all-industry functionalities, including R&D, production and commercialisation.

STRATEGIC IN-HOUSE PLATFORMS FOR ESTABLISHING STRONG PIPELINE

We have developed several proprietary, innovative technological and therapeutic platforms, allowing us to identify novel antibody candidates that are specific for novel targets and have the potential to achieve therapeutic effects via novel mechanisms of actions.

B-cell Therapeutic Platform

The Company was established with an initial focus on developing therapeutics that target B cells. With the accumulation of substantial data and the functions of these B cell antigens/targets and the roles of B cells played in the immune system were better understood, B cells' potential for treating autoimmune diseases has become prominent — forming our bases for “B cell therapy approach”. There are possibilities of use in combination of our different products developed on our B cell therapeutic platform in the future. These antigens and targets include: CD22 — our SM03 (Suciraslimab) and SM06, each an anti-CD22 antibody, were developed under our B-cell therapeutic platform. CD20 — our SM09, a novel, framework-patched, humanised anti-CD20 antibody, was developed under our B-cell therapeutic platform. BTK — our SN1011, a third-generation covalent reversible BTK inhibitor, was developed to maximise the therapeutic benefits of B cell therapy.


Management Discussion and Analysis

Alarmins-pathway Therapeutic Platform

The immune system is an interplay between different cell lineages and factors, but the majority of which include B cells, T cells and cytokines. Albeit our good coverage on B cell specific targets, there are other areas we need to fill in order to address other immune related ailments. While most cytokines are well studied, and products against which have been approved, there emerges a new class of factors known as alarmins that are upstream of the immune pathway and have not been well studied. These alarmins play crucial roles in autoimmune diseases involving the respiratory tract and dermatological tissues such as asthma, AD, IPF, and so on.

IL-25 is one of the three alarmins that targets a particular receptor called IL-17RB. Our SM17 is a humanised, IgG4-κ monoclonal antibody targeting the receptor for IL-25 (also known as IL-17RB), which was developed under our alarmins-pathway therapeutic platform.

Selective-T Cell Therapeutic Platform

Our pipeline covers B cells, alarmins/cytokines, and another major piece in the immunotherapy portfolio — T cells. The T-cell associated receptor is not well researched in the biopharma area as its function is promiscuous. We have developed a platform to isolate antibodies that have selective binding to T-cell associated receptors, resulting in the identification of a battery of antibodies with differentiated functionality covering a wide range of immunological diseases. Our anti-CGC antibody, humanised anti-γc antibody, was developed under our selective T-cell therapeutic platform.

A paper titled "Discovery of a New Anti-γc Antibody in Clinical Development for the Treatment of Autoimmune Diseases" revealing our study on hC2, a humanised anti-γc antibody, in addressing autoimmune diseases, was published in The Journal of Immunology in March 2025. The study demonstrates that hC2 specifically targets the γc receptor, offering global suppression on Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (STAT) phosphorylation and cellular activities in all studied immune cell types. Combined with the efficacies observed in in vitro assays and graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) animal studies, the current data support the clinical development of hC2 for the treatment of autoimmune diseases in the future.

Neurological Disease Platform

In 2019, there was a paper published in the journal Nature that demonstrated that anti-CD22 antibodies would have therapeutic effects on degenerative neurological disease in a murine model. We researched the possibility of using SM03 (Suciraslimab) for treating MCI due to Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease and found that CD22 is significantly expressed in microglia and other neurological cells.

The discovery that our anti-CD22 antibody can induce the internalisation of Aβ protein has led to the development of bispecific antibodies that target anti-inflammatory cell surface antigens and Aβ protein for treating Alzheimer's disease and other neurological diseases.

A paper titled "CD22 modulation alleviates amyloid β-induced neuroinflammation" revealing Suciraslimab's dual mechanism of action in combating Alzheimer's disease, was published in the Journal of Neuroinflammation in February 2025.

Product candidates are descendants of the SM03 (Suciraslimab)/SM06 lineage.

Antibody Framework-Patching Humanisation Platform

Most antibodies are produced in a murine background, and antibody humanisation (a genetic engineering approach) is needed to convert the murine sequence into human sequence without affecting the affinity and specificity of the original antibody (parent antibody). We employ a novel approach known as "framework-patching" to introduce "human-ness" in a functional perspective (functional humanisation). Our SM06 and SM09 antibodies were humanised using this novel, proprietary technology unique to the Company.

(unaudited) | 31 December

RMB'000
(audited) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 101,034 | 61,900 |
| Pledged and restricted deposits | 13,879 | 66,002 |
| Wealth management products (included in the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss) | 10,738 | 13,523 |
| Total funding available to use | 125,651 | 141,425 |

The net decrease in total funding available to use of approximately RMB15.7 million was mainly due to (i) the net proceeds from issue of shares of approximately RMB108.2 million; offset by (ii) the net repayment of bank borrowings of approximately RMB57.0 million; (iii) the spending on capital expenditures of approximately RMB13.1 million; and (iv) the net cash flows used in operating activities of approximately RMB26.9 million in the Reporting Period.

Bank Borrowings and gearing ratio

As at 30 June 2025, the Group's outstanding borrowings of RMB354.4 million (31 December 2024: RMB419.3 million) were denominated in RMB and at the effective interest rate ranging from 3.00% to 3.90% (31 December 2024: 3.15% to 3.90%) per annum.

As at 30 June 2025, the amount of unutilised banking facilities of the Group is approximately RMB321.7 million.

The Group monitored capital using gearing ratio. Gearing ratio is calculated using interest-bearing bank borrowings less cash and cash equivalents divided by total equity and multiplied by 100%. As at 30 June 2025, the gearing ratio was 104.1% (31 December 2024: 185.3%).

Foreign Exchange Risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk of loss resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Fluctuations in exchange rates between RMB and other currencies in which the Group conducts business may affect the Group's financial condition and results of operations.

In response to the foreign exchange risk, the Company seeks to limit its exposure to foreign currency risk by minimising its net foreign currency position to reduce the impact of the foreign exchange risk on the Company.

Independent review report
To the Board of Directors of SinoMab BioScience Limited
(Incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability)

INTRODUCTION

We have reviewed the interim financial information set out on pages 28 to 47, which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position of SinoMab BioScience Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (the "Group") as at 30 June 2025 and the related condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and explanatory notes. The Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited require the preparation of a report on interim financial information to be in compliance with the relevant provisions thereof and Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting ("HKAS 34") as issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA"). The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with HKAS 34. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review. Our report is made solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

SCOPE OF REVIEW

We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity as issued by the HKICPA. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

CONCLUSION

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with HKAS 34.

Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Information
30 June 2025

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The interim condensed consolidated financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2025 has been prepared in accordance with HKAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim condensed consolidated financial information does not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

The financial information relating to the year ended 31 December 2024 that is included in the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position as comparative information does not constitute the Company's statutory annual consolidated financial statements for that year but is derived from those financial statements. Further information relating to those statutory financial statements required to be disclosed in accordance with section 436 of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance is as follows:

The Company has delivered the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 to the Registrar of Companies as required by section 662(3) of, and Part 3 of Schedule 6 to, the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. The Company's auditor has reported on the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, included a reference to material uncertainty related to going concern to which the auditor drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying its reports, and did not contain a statement under sections 406(2), 407(2) or 407(3) of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

Going concern basis

The Group had current assets of RMB163,283,000 and current liabilities of RMB188,488,000 as at 30 June 2025 and incurred a net loss of RMB49,821,000 during the six months ended 30 June 2025.

The financial statements of the Group are prepared based on the basic accounting assumption of going concern. Having taken into account the expected cash flows from the unused banking facilities and shares subscription in July 2025, further details of which are given in note 19 to the financial statements, it will enable the Group to fulfil its maturing debts and has adequate working capital in the foreseeable future to meet the needs of its daily operations.

2. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial information are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, except for the adoption of the following amended HKFRS Accounting Standard for the first time for the current period's financial information.

Amendments to HKAS 21
Lack of Exchangeability

The nature and impact of the amended HKFRS Accounting Standard are described below:

Amendments to HKAS 21 specify how an entity shall assess whether a currency is exchangeable into another currency and how it shall estimate a spot exchange rate at a measurement date when exchangeability is lacking. The amendments require disclosures of information that enable users of financial statements to understand the impact of a currency not being exchangeable. As the currencies that the Group had transacted with and the functional currencies of group entities for translation into the Group's presentation currency were exchangeable, the amendments did not have any impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial information.

7. INCOME TAX

No Hong Kong profits tax has been made as the Company did not generate any assessable profit during the period (six months ended 30 June 2024: Nil).

Under the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China (the “EIT Law”) and Implementation Regulation of the EIT Law, the estimated tax rate of the Group’s subsidiaries in Mainland China is 25% during the periods presented in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. No Enterprise Income Tax under EIT Law was provided for as there was no estimated assessable profit of the Group’s subsidiaries in Mainland China during the periods presented in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Taxes on profits assessable elsewhere have been calculated at the rates of tax prevailing in the jurisdictions in which the Group operates.

Deferred taxation had not been recognised on the unused tax losses and deductible temporary differences due to the unpredictability of future profit streams.

8. DIVIDENDS

No dividend was paid or declared by the Company during the six months ended 30 June 2025 and 2024.


Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Information
30 June 2025

9. LOSS PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO ORDINARY EQUITY HOLDERS OF THE PARENT

The calculation of the basic loss per share amounts is based on the loss for the period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent of RMB49,821,000 (six months ended 30 June 2024: RMB90,622,000), and the weighted average number of ordinary shares of 1,096,254,328 (six months ended 30 June 2024: 1,071,475,873) outstanding during the period, as adjusted to exclude the shares held under the share award scheme of the Company.

No adjustment has been made to the basic loss per share amounts presented for the six months ended 30 June 2025 and 2024 in respect of a dilution as the impact of the share options outstanding had an anti-dilutive effect on the basic loss per share amounts presented.

10. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

During the six months ended 30 June 2025, the addition of property, plant and equipment is RMB6,066,000 at cost (30 June 2024: RMB30,423,000).

11. FINANCIAL ASSETS AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS

Note 30 June 2025 RMB'000 (unaudited) 31 December 2024 RMB'000 (audited)
Unlisted equity investment, at fair value 31,325 31,455
Wealth management products (i) 10,738 13,523
Total financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 42,063 44,978

Note:
(i) The wealth management products were mandatorily classified as financial asset at fair value through profit or loss as its contractual cash flows are not solely payments of principal and interest. The Group has estimated the fair value of the wealth management products based on fair value provided by the financial institutions.

18. FAIR VALUE AND FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

All the carrying amounts of the Group’s financial instruments approximate to their fair values.

The Group’s finance department headed by chief financial officer is responsible for determining the policies and procedures for the fair value measurement of financial instruments. At each reporting date, the finance department analyses the movements in the values of financial instruments and determines the major inputs applied in the valuation. The valuation is reviewed and approved by the chief financial officer. The valuation process and results are discussed with the audit committee twice a year for interim and annual financial reporting.

The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

The fair value of the non-current portion of financial assets included in prepayments, deposits and other receivables have been calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows using rates currently available for instruments with similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities.

The Group invests in various wealth management products issued by a bank in Mainland China and an enterprise in Hong Kong. The Group has estimated the fair value of these wealth management products based on fair values provided by financial institutions.

As at 30 June 2025, the Group had an unlisted equity investment, which was reclassified as financial asset at fair value through profit or loss. The Group estimated the fair value of the unlisted investment based on recent transaction price of series A funding. The carrying amount of the financial asset at fair value through profit or loss is the same as its fair value.

Fair value hierarchy

The following tables illustrate the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Group’s financial instruments:

SHARE INCENTIVES

During the Reporting Period, the Company maintained two share incentive schemes, Share Award Scheme and Share Option Scheme (amended on 14 June 2024). The number of shares that may be issued in respect of options and awards granted under all schemes of the Company during the Reporting Period divided by the weighted average number of shares of the relevant class in issue for the Reporting Period is 0.

The number of options and awards available for grant under the scheme mandate (including options and awards under the service provider sublimit) of all share schemes of the Company at the beginning of and at the end of the Reporting Period is 99,113,111 share options (including 10,917,551 share options under service provider sublimit).

Share Award Scheme

A share award scheme, as amended from time to time, (the "Share Award Scheme") was adopted by the Company on 4 February 2021 (the "Adoption Date"). The purposes of the Share Award Scheme are to incentivise our directors, senior management, employees and consultants for their contribution to our Group and to attract, motivate and retain skilled and experienced personnel to strive for the future development and expansion of our Group by providing them with the opportunity to own equity interests in our Company and to promote the success of our Company's business.

Under the Share Award Scheme, the Board or an authorised person may select any eligible person and grant an award (the "Award") to the selected participants ("Selected Participants"). Any individual, being an employee or director of any member of the Group who the Board or an authorised person (as the case may be) considers, in its sole discretion, to have contributed or will contribute to the Group, are eligible person under the Share Award Scheme ("Eligible Person"). However, no individual who is resident in a place where the grant, acceptance or vesting of an Award pursuant to the Share Award Scheme is not permitted under the laws and regulations of such place or where, in the view of the Board or an authorised person, compliance with applicable laws and regulations in such place makes it necessary or expedient to exclude such individual, shall be entitled to participate in the Share Award Scheme and such individual shall therefore be excluded from the term Eligible Person. Computershare Hong Kong Trustees Limited (the "Trustee") has been appointed by the Company as the trustee for the Share Award Scheme. To satisfy an Award, the Company shall transfer to the trust the necessary funds and instruct the Trustee to acquire Shares through on-market transactions at the prevailing market price or through manual trades.

The Share Award Scheme will remain in force for a period of 10 years commencing on its Adoption Date until 3 February 2031, unless otherwise terminated under the terms of the Share Award Scheme. The remaining life of the Share Award Scheme is 5 years 4 months.

The maximum number of Award Shares throughout the duration of the Share Award Scheme is 50,312,020 Shares, being 5% of the issued Shares of the Company as at the Adoption Date. The maximum number of Shares which may be awarded to a Selected Participant under the Share Award Scheme is 20,124,808 Shares, being 2% of the issued Shares of the Company as at the Adoption Date. Details of the Share Award Scheme are set out in the announcement of the Company dated 4 February 2021. The vesting schedule will be set out in the grant letter for each grant.

Pursuant to the 2022 Share Option Scheme, the Board may grant options to eligible participants to subscribe for ordinary shares in the Company subject to the terms and conditions stipulated therein.

The purpose of the 2022 Share Option Scheme is to provide the participants with the opportunity to acquire proprietary interests in the Company, to provide incentives to the participants, and to recognise their contributions made and to be made to the growth and development of the Group and for such other purposes as the Board may approve from time to time.

Any employee (whether full-time or part-time), director, service provider of any member of the Group, is participant ("Participant") under the 2022 Share Option Scheme, provided that the Board may have absolute discretion to determine whether or not one falls within this category.

Interim Report 2025 SinoMab BioScience Limited


Other Information

In order to give the Company flexibility to grant share options to the Participants under the 2022 Share Option Scheme as incentives and rewards for their contributions to the Group, the Company amended the 2022 Share Option Scheme so as to increase the scheme mandate limit and service provider sublimit (the "Amendments"). For the purpose of providing more flexibility for the Company to motivate the Participants for their future contributions to the Group and/or to reward them for their past contributions, and to maintain on-going relationship with them, the Company also refreshed the scheme mandate limit and service provider sublimit (the "Refreshment"). Both the Amendments and Refreshment were approved by the shareholders of the Company at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 14 June 2024 (the "2024 AGM").

Pursuant to the amended 2022 Share Option Scheme (the "Amended 2022 Share Option Scheme"), the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all share options to be granted under the Amended 2022 Share Option Scheme and any other share schemes of the Company shall not in aggregate exceed 109,175,511, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue on the 2024 AGM date. Options previously granted under the 2022 Share Option Scheme and any other share schemes of the company shall not be counted for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit (the "Refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit"). Within the Refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit, the total number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted to Service Providers shall not exceed 10,917,551, representing 1% of the total number of Shares in issue on the 2024 AGM date (the "Refreshed Service Provider Sublimit"). The grantee shall pay HK$1.00 by way of consideration for the grant within the period stipulated in the offer letter. There were 99,113,111 share options (including 10,917,551 share options under Service Provider Sublimit) available for grant at the beginning and at the end of the Reporting Period. Subsequent to the Reporting Period, on 24 July 2025, the Company granted 46,585,862 share options to 20 employees of the Company and two service providers of the Company, details of which were disclosed in the Company's announcement dated 24 July 2025. As at the date of this report, the Company has 1,386,638,336 issued Shares and the total number of shares available for issue under the Amended 2022 Share Option Scheme is 121,536,711, representing 8.76% of the issued shares of the Company. The total number of shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of the share options granted to each participant in any 12-month period shall not exceed 1% of the total number of shares in issue.

The options may be exercised during such period as determined by the Board and such period shall be specified in the offer letter to the grantee, which may be varied by the Board in accordance with the terms of the Amended 2022 Share Option Scheme, provided that it shall not under any circumstances exceed ten years from the date of grant of the relevant option. The vesting period of options granted under the Amended 2022 Share Option Scheme shall be determined by the Board subject to a minimum period set out in the rules of the Amended 2022 Share Option Scheme.

The Board may delegate all or part of the administration to the chief executive officer, a committee or any other authorised agent(s) as deemed appropriate at the sole discretion of the Board.

The exercise price of the options shall not less than the higher of (i) the closing price of the Company's shares as stated in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange's daily quotations sheet on the date of grant, which must be a business day; and (ii) the average of the closing prices of the Company's shares as stated in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange's daily quotations sheet for the five business days immediately preceding the date of grant.

Interim Report 2025 SinoMab BioScience Limited

SinoMab BioScience Limited Interim Report 2025

Other Information

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Code provision C.2.1 stipulates that the roles of chairman and chief executive should be separate and should not be performed by the same individual.

Dr. Shui On LEUNG is currently both the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

The Board believes that Dr. Leung is the Director best suited, among all Directors, to identify strategic opportunities and focus in view of his extensive understanding of the Company's business as a founder and the chief executive officer. The Board further believes that the combined role of chairman and chief executive officer will not impair the balance of power and authority between the Board and the management of our Company, given that: (i) decisions to be made by the Board require approval by at least a majority of the Directors; (ii) Dr. Leung and the other Directors are aware of and have undertaken to fulfil their fiduciary duties as Directors, which require, amongst other things, that they act for the benefit and in the best interests of the Company as a whole and will make decisions for the Company accordingly; (iii) the balance of power and authority is protected by the operations of the Board, which consists of an executive Director, four non-executive Directors and five independent non-executive Directors, and has a fairly strong independence element; and (iv) the overall strategies and other key business, financial, and operational policies of the Company are made collectively after thorough discussions at both the Board and senior management levels. Therefore, the Board considers that it is in the best interests of the Group for Dr. Leung to take up both roles for business development and effective management, and the deviation from the code provision C.2.1 of the CG Code is appropriate in such circumstances.

COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 3.27A OF THE LISTING RULES

Following the passing away of Mr. Dylan Carlo TINKER on 29 May 2025, the Nomination Committee comprised two members, one of which is an executive Director, and the Nomination Committee did not comprise a majority of independent non-executive Directors as required by Rule 3.27A of the Listing Rules.
