I-Mab to Divest Chinese Assets and Business Operations for up to $80M – An Escape by Crafty Scheme
- I-MAB claimed that this divesture is the best strategic choice to respond to the overall environment of China and the US. I-MAB needs to make changes to appease investors.
- The real situation is not as beautiful as it seems.This divesture means I-MAB US has actually been “hollowed out”, which is a big blow to I-MAB US and its investors.
- With R&D team/production base, I-MAB Hangzhou is able to tell more good stories in the future, which has completed C1 round financing and plans to IPO in A-share or HKEX.
