“Cancer, a leading cause of death worldwide, exacts an immense toll on individuals, families, and communities. No person, family, scientist, clinician, hospital, policy maker, company or country can or should face this devastating disease alone. We all must work together to win, which is why we are committed to playing a critical role and unifying the global community in the fight against cancer. Our focus is to not only bring innovative medicines to as many people as possible, but also to identify and address the challenges that impede access, making treatments more accessible and affordable,” said John V. Oyler, Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO at BeiGene. “We have already helped more than 1.4 million patients, and with one of the most prolific oncology pipelines, this year we will bring more than 10 new potential medicines into the clinic. I look forward to our next chapter of growth as BeOne.”

About Our Brand Evolution: BeOne Medicines

The proposed new name and logo illustrates our focus on coming together against cancer. Key attributes of the new logo design include:

  • “Be” represents the fundamental goal of any patient with cancer – simply to be free of disease;
  • “One” emphasizes our unity as a team and focus on bringing together patients, caregivers, scientists, healthcare providers, governments and industry with a shared mission to eliminate cancer together;
  • The word “Onc” spelled in red within “One” illustrates our redoubled commitment to oncology; and
  • The power button within the last “e” represents our always “on” approach in pursuing novel medicines that turn cancer “off” by disrupting key drivers of cancer cell growth and survival, harnessing the body’s immune system to attack tumors, and targeting specific biomarkers of cancer. The tilted angle of the button embodies our path which is not always straight-forward as we push the boundaries of science.

The new name is part of a broader strategic growth plan that has enabled the Company’s global oncology leadership since its inception in 2010. The Company recently reported $1 billion in quarterly total revenue driven by strong growth in product revenue in the U.S. and Europe. To support its expansive clinical portfolio and global growth, the Company opened its $800 million flagship clinical R&D and manufacturing facility at the Princeton West Innovation Campus in Hopewell, N.J. in July. Once the name is approved by shareholders, the company’s stock ticker on Nasdaq will change to “ONC”.

The Company’s nearly 11,000 colleagues have advanced more than 20 molecules into the clinic and secured regulatory approvals across five continents, and its unique global clinical team comprised of more than 1,800 colleagues conducts clinical trials across Europe, North and South America, Australia, and Asia in more than 45 countries. Its portfolio strategy emphasizes rapid generation of early-stage clinical proof-of-concept data enabled by its speed- and cost-advantaged (“Fast to Proof of Concept”) approach to global clinical operations. The Company has solidified its leadership in hematology with BRUKINSA® (zanubrutinib), which has the broadest label of any BTK inhibitor and, in the U.S., is the leader in new patient starts in both frontline and relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia in addition to all other approved B-cell malignancies. The Company is advancing this impactful therapy, which is approved in more than 70 markets, as the cornerstone of its hematology franchise as a monotherapy and as a backbone for potential best-in-class combinations with late-stage BCL2 inhibitor sonrotoclax and BTK degrader BGB-16673. In addition, the Company is focused on growing its leadership in solid tumors with its PD-1 inhibitor TEVIMBRA® (tislelizumab) and by advancing potential best-in-class assets for breast, lung and gastrointestinal cancers across several modalities, including antibody drug conjugates, multi-specific antibodies, targeted protein degraders, and small molecule inhibitors.
