Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (the “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on January 8, 2020 (the “Schedule 13D”), relating to the ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), of BeiGene, Ltd., an exempted Cayman Islands company (the “Issuer”). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning set forth in the Schedule 13D.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

On July 12, 2020, the Issuer entered into a share purchase agreement with Amgen and certain other institutional investors (together, the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to sell and issue to the Purchasers, in a registered direct offering, an aggregate of 145,838,979 Ordinary Shares at a purchase price of $14.2308 per share, equivalent to $185.00 per ADS (the “Share Purchase Agreement”), for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2.08 billion, before deducting offering expenses. The Share Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Issuer and the Purchasers and customary conditions to closing.

In connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Share Purchase Agreement, on July 15, 2020, the Issuer caused to be issued and sold 29,614,832 Ordinary Shares to Amgen for approximately $421,442,751. Amgen may subsequently convert such Ordinary Shares to ADSs at any time and from time to time.

All funds for the purchase of the Ordinary Shares were obtained from the working capital of Amgen.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

Item 3 summarizes certain provisions of the Share Purchase Agreement and is incorporated herein by reference.

(iii) Sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of: 236,249,845

(iv) Shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of: -0-
