The final performance rate is the sum of: (i) a corporate performance rating determined by the Compensation Committee based on its evaluation of the Company’s overall performance for the applicable year (weighted at 50% for 2025), (ii) a manager evaluation determined by our board of directors for Dr. Huang, and by Dr. Huang for Dr. Lu, based on an assessment of the NEO’s individual performance for the applicable year (weighted at 25% for 2025), and (iii) the NEO’s self-evaluation for the applicable year (weighted at 25% for 2025). As of the date of this Annual Report, the 2025 annual incentive bonuses earned by each of Dr. Huang and Dr. Lu have not been paid by the Company, and an amount of $165,890 of Dr. Huang’s 2024 annual incentive bonuses remains unpaid.

Executive Employment Agreements

 

The Company has entered into employment agreements with Dr. Huang and Dr. Lu. The key terms of the employment related agreements are described below.

 

Employment Agreement with Dr. Huang

 

Dr. Huang is party to an amended and restated employment agreement with BeyondSpring U.S. dated November 10, 2016, as amended on January 11, 2022 and further amended by those letter amendments dated January 13, 2022, March 23, 2023, October 11, 2023, August 7, 2024, and December 20, 2025. Dr. Huang’s employment agreement provides for an annual base salary, which has been adjusted from time to time. Dr. Huang is also party to a separate employment agreement with a subsidiary of SEED, pursuant to which Dr. Huang has been assigned by the Company to SEED on a part-time basis and receives a base salary from SEED, which reduces her base salary from us. If Dr. Huang’s employment with SEED terminates other than for cause, Dr. Huang will resume full time employment with us and her base salary from us will be restored.

 

Pursuant to Dr. Huang’s employment agreement, Dr. Huang is eligible to participate in any bonus program sponsored by the Company on a basis consistent with that applicable to other employees at her level, in accordance with company policy, with a target annual merit bonus of 50% of base salary for 2024 and 2025. Dr. Huang’s employment is at will, and can be terminated by us at any time or by Dr. Huang upon three months’ notice. Dr. Huang’s employment agreement contains a two year non-solicit of employees, a confidentiality provision and an assignment of intellectual property provision.

 

Dr. Huang’s employment agreement also provides for severance payments and benefits in the event that Dr. Huang’s employment is terminated by the Company without “cause” or by Dr. Huang with “good reason” (each as defined under Dr. Huang’s employment agreement), subject to the terms and conditions thereof. Additional information regarding Dr. Huang’s severance entitlements is described in greater detail in the section entitled “—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below.

 

Offer Letter with Dr. Lu

 

Dr. Lu is party to an offer letter with BeyondSpring U.S. dated September 17, 2021, as amended by those letter amendments effective as of April 1, 2024 and December 1, 2025. Dr. Lu’s offer letter provides for an annual base salary, which has been adjusted from time to time, and her eligibility for an annual bonus of up to 25% of her base salary, subject to the Company’s performance and terms and conditions to be established by the Company. Dr. Lu’s employment is at will, and can be terminated by us or by Dr. Lu at any time and for any reason.

 

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

 

Under Dr. Huang’s employment agreement, in the event that Dr. Huang’s employment is terminated by the Company without “cause” or by Dr. Huang with “good reason” (as each such term is defined in the employment agreement), Dr. Huang would become entitled (subject to her execution and non-revocation of a release of claims) to the payment of (i) her then base salary for the nine (9) month period commencing on the date of termination (the “Severance Period”), payable over the Severance Period in regular installments in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices and (ii) a pro-rated portion of any bonus earned for the year in which the date of termination occurs, based on actual performance results, and paid at the same time as other senior executives.

 

 

Under the terms of the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan and option award agreements applicable to both Dr. Huang and Dr. Lu, (i) if the options are assumed or substituted for in the change in control, if the NEO’s employment is terminated without cause within 12 months of such change in control, then any unvested options will become vested and will remain exercisable for the 90-day period following the termination date, and (ii) if the options are not assumed or substituted for in the change of control, then any unvested options will become vested upon such change of control and otherwise be treated as determined by the plan administrator. If the NEO’s employment terminates due to death or disability, the next tranche of time-based options that would have vested had the NEO remained employed through the applicable vesting date will become fully vested on the termination date (and will remain exercisable for one year following such termination), and any remaining unvested time-based options will be forfeited. On a termination by us for cause, all vested and unvested options are forfeited. On a termination for any other reason, vested options remain exercisable for three months following such termination date. Upon any termination of employment, any unvested performance-based options as of the termination date will be forfeited.

 

Pay Versus Performance

 

As required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information regarding the relationship between executive compensation and our financial performance for each of the last three completed fiscal years. In determining the “compensation actually paid” to our CEO and the “average compensation actually paid” to our Non-CEO NEOs, we are required to make various adjustments to amounts that have been reported in the Summary Compensation Table for 2025 and in previous years, as the SEC’s valuation methods for this section differ from those required in the Summary Compensation Table. The table below summarizes compensation values reported in our Summary Compensation Table for 2025 and in previous years, as well as the adjusted values required in this section for 2025, 2024 and 2023.

For years 2025, 2024 and 2023, Dr. Huang was our Chief Executive Officer. For 2025, Dr. Lu was our Non-CEO NEO. For 2024 and 2023, our Non-CEO NEOs were Dr. Lu and Dr. Lloyd.

 

 

(2)

Adjustments to calculate “compensation actually paid” and “average compensation actually paid” include: (i) subtract the amounts reported in the Option Awards column of the Summary Compensation Table for each applicable year, (ii) add the fair value as of the end of the applicable year of outstanding and unvested equity awards granted in that year, (iii) add the fair value as of the vesting date of equity awards that were granted and vested in the applicable year, (iv) add the change in fair value (whether positive or negative) during the applicable year of equity awards granted in prior years that remained outstanding and unvested at the end of the year, (v) add the change in fair value (whether positive or negative) during the applicable year through the vesting date of equity awards granted in prior years that vested during that year, (vi) subtract the fair value at the end of the prior year of awards granted in prior years that failed to meet vesting conditions during the applicable year, and (vii) add the value of any dividends or other earnings paid during the applicable year on equity awards not otherwise reflected in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year. Equity fair value amounts are calculated using valuation assumptions and methodologies (including expected term, volatility, dividend yield and risk-free interest rates) that are generally consistent with those used to estimate the grant date fair value under U.S. GAAP. The valuation assumptions used to calculate the equity fair values as of each measurement date differed materially from those disclosed at the time of grant in the following ways: the expected term was updated to reflect the remaining life of the awards, adjusted for the passage of time since the grant date and the relationship between the share price and the option exercise price as of the measurement date.

Director Compensation

 

We have entered into a director agreement (a “Director Agreement”), with each of our non-employee directors. Under the terms of each Director Agreement (as amended effective July 1, 2020), the compensation payable to our non-employee directors consists of:

 

 

an annual cash retainer fee equal to $40,000 (pro-rated for any partial year of service);

 

 

an additional cash retainer fee (pro-rated for any partial year of service) for service on a committee, as follows: Compensation Committee: $6,000 ($12,000 if chair); the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, $4,000 ($8,000 if chair); and the Audit Committee, $8,000 ($16,000 if chair);

 

 

an initial grant of 20,000 options in respect of the director’s first 12 months’ of service; and

 

 

an annual grant of 10,000 options at the start of each fiscal year.

 

Such options are granted under the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan, with a per share exercise price equal to the fair market value per share as of the date of grant. The initial option grant for a new director (made in respect of the director’s first 12 months of service) is issued on or around the date of commencement of service, and vests in three equal installments on the first three anniversaries of the grant date, subject to the director’s continued service as our director through the applicable vesting date. The annual director grants are made on a fiscal year basis at the start of the applicable fiscal year (with the annual grant made in respect of the first full fiscal year beginning during the director’s term to be pro-rated for the length of service from the first anniversary of the director’s start date through the end of such fiscal year), and vest on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to the director’s continued service as our director through the vesting date. All director option grants are subject to the terms and conditions of the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan and the applicable option award agreement memorializing such grant.

Amounts reported in this column reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of the options granted during 2025 (including those described in the preceding footnote), computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 for stock-based compensation transactions (“ASC 718”). Such grant date fair values do not take into account any estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts are included in Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report. These amounts do not reflect the actual economic value that may be realized by the directors upon the exercise of the share options or the sale of the ordinary shares underlying such share options.

Policies And Practices Related to The Grant of Certain Equity Awards

 

We grant equity awards on an annual basis and may grant equity awards on a discretionary basis in connection with certain events such as the commencement of employment, service or promotion. Although we do not have a formal policy regarding the timing of options , we do not grant options or any other form of equity compensation in anticipation of the release of material, non-public information. Similarly, we do not time the release of material, non-public information based on option or other equity award grant dates for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. During the last completed fiscal year, we have not granted options to any of our NEOs during the period beginning four business days before and ending one business day after the filing of a periodic report on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K or the filing or furnishing of a current report on Form 8-K.
