Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On May 11, 2020, BeiGene, Ltd. (the “Company”) announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2020. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
In its press release dated May 11, 2020, the Company also provided an update on the first quarter of 2020 and recent business highlights and expected milestones for the remainder of 2020. The information in the press release set forth under the headings “Recent Business Highlights and Upcoming Milestones” and “Forward-Looking Statements” is incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Postponement of the 2020 Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders
As previously disclosed, pursuant to the listing rules of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (the “HKEx”), the Company intended to hold an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “EGM”) on May 14, 2020 for the Company’s shareholders to consider, and if thought fit, approve the grant of an option to acquire shares to Amgen Inc. (“Amgen”) to allow Amgen to subscribe for additional shares under a specific mandate (the “Specific Mandate”) in an amount necessary to enable it to increase (and subsequently maintain) its ownership at approximately 20.6% of the Company’s outstanding share capital, up to an aggregate of 75,000,000 ordinary shares during the option term (the “Direct Purchase Option”), pursuant to the terms of the Amendment No. 2 (the “Second Amendment”) dated March 17, 2020 to the Share Purchase Agreement dated October 31, 2019, as amended, by and between the Company and Amgen.
Following the filing of the preliminary proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 30, 2020, the Listing Division of the HKEx issued a letter to the Company expressing its concerns that the Direct Purchase Option contemplated by the Second Amendment does not comply with the listing rules of the HKEx, even if approved by the Company’s independent shareholders. The Company disagrees with the HKEx’s decision and has appealed this decision to the Listing Committee of the HKEx, requesting that the Listing Committee overrule the Listing Division’s decision and permit the Company to convene the EGM to provide the independent shareholders with an opportunity to consider, and if thought fit, approve the Direct Purchase Option and the Specific Mandate contemplated by the Second Amendment. Among other things, the Direct Purchase Option and the Specific Mandate are subject to independent shareholders’ approval (with Amgen abstaining from voting on the relevant resolution) and have been recommended by the Company’s independent board committee in reliance in part on the opinion of an independent financial adviser. As disclosed in the preliminary proxy statement, the independent board committee and independent financial adviser have reviewed the terms of the transaction and consider them reasonable and fair to the independent shareholders. A review hearing by the Listing Committee is scheduled to be held on May 20, 2020.
For the reasons set forth above, the Company has determined to postpone the EGM to a later date and plans to provide an update following the decision of the Listing Committee of the HKEx.

BeiGene Reports First Quarter 2020 Financial Results
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. and BEIJING, China, May 11, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BeiGene, Ltd. (NASDAQ: BGNE; HKEX: 06160), a commercial-stage biotechnology company focused on developing and commercializing innovative molecularly-targeted and immuno-oncology drugs for the treatment of cancer, today reported recent business highlights, anticipated upcoming milestones, and financial results for the first quarter of 2020.
“Our recent approval of tislelizumab in China for patients with previously treated locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma, as well as the positive readouts of two Phase 3 trials of tislelizumab for first-line non-small cell lung cancer at interim analyses, are key milestones for BeiGene as we execute on our goals and work to create impactful medicines that will be accessible to far more cancer patients around the world. With the COVID-19 pandemic continuing to create obstacles globally, our team has been quick to react as we work to minimize the impact and support our patients and physicians on the frontlines. We are managing the challenges to maintain momentum with our broad development program and are contributing to the global effort to fight the pandemic,” said John V. Oyler, Co-Founder, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of BeiGene. “In addition to our launch of tislelizumab in China this quarter, we are on the way to having potentially up to 11 commercial products before the end of next year, and look forward to presenting Phase 3 data on BRUKINSA™ and tislelizumab at ASCO. We also anticipate several additional Phase 3 or potentially registration-enabling studies reading out in the next 12 months.”

First Quarter 2020 Financial Results
Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, and Short-Term Investments were $3.38 billion as of March 31, 2020, compared to $985.50 million as of December 31, 2019.
Total cash and short-term investments increased $2.39 billion in the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to the $2.78 billion of cash received from the sale of American Depositary Shares to Amgen in connection with the closing of the Amgen collaboration on January 2, 2020. In the three months ended March 31, 2020, cash used in operating activities totaled $341.94 million, capital expenditures were $21.53 million, and cash used for upfront license payments totaled $43.00 million.
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $52.06 million, compared to $77.83 million in the same period of 2019. The decrease in total revenue is primarily attributable to the lack of collaboration revenue after the termination of the Celgene collaboration agreement for tislelizumab and decreased product sales of ABRAXANE, REVLIMID® (lenalidomide) and VIDAZA® (azacitidine) in China, partially offset by the initial sales of tislelizumab in China and BRUKINSA in the United States.
Product revenues totaled $52.06 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $57.42 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, and were comprised of:
Product revenue of $20.53 million from sales of tislelizumab in China since its launch in March 2020, including launch inventory build at distributors. Despite the challenges posed by COVID-19, the China commercial team launched tislelizumab on plan in the first quarter through efforts in multiple channels including extensive online promotion;
Product revenue of $30.82 million from sales of ABRAXANE, REVLIMID and VIDAZA in China, compared to $57.42 million in the same period of the prior year. The decrease in revenues was due to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, increased generic competition, and the suspension of ABRAXANE sales in China by the NMPA in March 2020; and
Product revenue of $0.72 million from sales of BRUKINSA in the United States. Early launch indicators including new patient starts, reimbursement coverage, and physician perception have been encouraging.
Collaboration revenue totaled nil for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $20.41 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.



 
 
Exhibit 99.1

Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $425.82 million, compared to $251.59 million in the same period of 2019.
Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $14.15 million, compared to $15.26 million in the same period of 2019. Cost of sales primarily includes acquisition costs related to the amount of ABRAXANE, REVLIMID and VIDAZA that was sold during the period in China, as well as the post-approval cost of tislelizumab and BRUKINSA that was sold during the period.
R&D Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $304.30 million, compared to $178.35 million in the same period of 2019. The increase in R&D expenses was primarily attributable to continued increases in spending on our ongoing and newly initiated late-stage pivotal clinical trials, development expenses associated with the Amgen collaboration, the preparation for additional regulatory submissions, and manufacturing costs related to pre-commercial activities and supply. R&D expense in the three months ended March 31, 2020 also included $43.00 million of expense related to upfront license payments, compared to $10.00 million in the same period of 2019. Our co-funding obligation for the development of the pipeline assets under the Amgen collaboration for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $56.00 million, of which $28.37 million was recorded as R&D expense. The remaining $27.63 million was recorded as a reduction of the R&D cost share liability. R&D-related share-based compensation expense was $20.40 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $15.77 million for the same period of 2019.
SG&A Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $107.08 million, compared to $57.65 million in the same period in 2019. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily attributable to increased headcount, including the expansion of our commercial team to support the distribution of our commercial products in China and the United States, as well as higher professional service fees and costs to support our growing operations. SG&A-related share-based compensation expense was $17.86 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $10.62 million for the same period of 2019.
Net Loss for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $363.74 million, or $0.36 per share, or $4.70 per American Depositary Share (ADS), compared to $167.64 million, or $0.22 per share, or $2.81 per ADS in the same period in 2019.
