Grant of Share Options under Share Option Scheme and Awards under

Long Term Incentive Plan

Hong Kong, Shanghai, & Florham Park, NJ: Thursday, September 2, 2021: HUTCHMED (China) Limited ('HUTCHMED') (Nasdaq/AIM: HCM; HKEX: 13) announces that on September 1, 2021, it granted share options under the Share Option Scheme adopted by HUTCHMED in 2015 as refreshed in April 2020 (the 'Share Option Scheme') and conditional awards ('LTIP Awards') under the Long Term Incentive Plan adopted by HUTCHMED in 2015 ('LTIP').

Aimed at attracting and retaining top talent, the Remuneration Committee of HUTCHMED appointed an independent advisor to conduct a compensation benchmarking research on peer group U.S. and China biotech companies. The Remuneration Committee comprehensively reviewed the compensation and share-based incentives policies of HUTCHMED and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') and established an attractive policy to ensure the Group is able to recruit and retain top talent. Vesting of share-based awards under the policy is in line with that peer group.

HUTCHMED granted share options under its Share Option Scheme to 18 employees to subscribe for a total of 1,086,000 Ordinary Shares represented by 217,200 American Depositary Shares ('ADSs', each equating to five Ordinary Shares) subject to the acceptance of the grantee. Details of such share options granted prescribed are as follows:

Date of grant	:	September 1, 2021
Exercise price of share options granted	:	US$39.74 per ADS (equivalent to HK$62.00 per Ordinary Share at the conversion rate HK$7.8=US$1) (such exercise price has been determined by reference to the price of the Ordinary Shares on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited ('HKEX'))
Number of share options granted	:	1,086,000 represented by 217,200 ADSs (five share options shall entitle the holder thereof to subscribe for one ADS)

At the same time, HUTCHMED also granted three employees of the Group with non-performance LTIP Awards, and 119 employees of the Group with performance-related LTIP Awards.
