The MSCI China All Shares Index is constructed based on the integrated China equity universe included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, providing a standardized definition of the China equity opportunity set. The index aims to represent the performance of large- and mid-cap segments with H-shares, A-shares, B-shares, red-chips, P-chips and foreign listings (e.g., ADRs) of Chinese stocks. This flagship index is calculated using transparent and innovative methodologies, with a strong emphasis on investability and replicability using stringent size and liquidity eligibility criteria. It is widely followed and closely tracked by global investors as a major benchmark for China equity exposure.

"Becoming a constituent in the MSCI China Index is another significant capital markets milestone for I-Mab, following the inclusion in the NASDAQ Biotechnology Index in December 2020. We are honored to be one of the few China biotech stocks added to this bellwether index, further demonstrating I-Mab's growing profile and recognition among the global investor communities," said Mr. Jielun Zhu, Director and Chief Financial Officer of I-Mab. "As we continue on our journey to become a fully integrated global biopharmaceutical company and execute key value-driving catalysts across our pipeline, from the near-term NDA filing of felzartamab (CD38 antibody) to important data readouts of lemzoparlimab (CD47 antibody) and uliledlimab (CD73 antibody), we are strongly positioned to deliver even greater value to our shareholders."
