[424B5] BeyondSpring Inc. Prospectus Supplement (Debt Securities)
BeyondSpring Inc. (BYSI) is conducting a primary offering of 800,000 ordinary shares to Ray Beauty Group Limited at $2.50 per share, raising an estimated $2 million in net proceeds after expenses. The company plans to use the cash to fund its research and development programs and for general corporate purposes, which may include clinical trial and commercial spending, working capital, debt repayment and potential acquisitions.
Shares outstanding are expected to increase from 40,322,320 to 41,122,320 as of the referenced date, modestly diluting existing holders. As of September 30, 2025, BeyondSpring reported a net tangible book value of $(0.49) per share, which would improve to $(0.43) per share on an as-adjusted basis after the offering, but investors buying in this deal face an immediate dilution of $2.93 per share. The company remains a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical developer centered on its lead oncology asset, Plinabulin, and additional preclinical immune agents.
