If Clavis Bio exercises the option for a specific collaboration project in this partnership, the Group could receive up to USD 362.5 million in payments (including non-refundable exercise fees, development and registration milestone payments, and sales milestone payments), and could also receive a specified percentage of royalties on net sales in the licensed territories related to the collaboration project. Additionally, the Group will receive a minority equity stake in a new project company established by Aditum Bio Fund 3, the controlling shareholder of Clavis Bio, for the specific collaboration project at no cost. This partnership aims to leverage the research and development strengths of both parties, further enrich the Group's high-value product pipeline, and accelerate the global clinical development and commercialization of the pipeline through potential external licensing in the future, continuously expanding the overseas presence of the Group's innovative products.
