EXPLANATORY NOTE

On November 9, 2020, ASLAN Pharmaceuticals Limited (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020 and provided an update on its clinical activities (the “Press Release”).  The Press Release was attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Form 6-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2020 (the “Original 6-K”).  

The Company is filing this amendment to the Original 6-K to refile a revised Exhibit 99.1 (the “Amended Exhibit”) in order to correct certain clerical errors presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.  The clerical errors only appeared in Exhibit 99.1 to the Original 6-K and not in the Press Release that was issued separately.  The Amended Exhibit is corrected to show (i) a loss before income tax of $11,296,692 (instead of $11,065,839) for the nine months ended September 30, 2020; (ii) a total comprehensive loss attributable to stockholders of the Company and non-controlling interests of $5,194,196 (instead of $7,930,967) for the three months ended September 30, 2019; (iii) a total comprehensive loss attributable to stockholders of the Company and non-controlling interests of $3,744,255 (instead of $4,127,077) for the three months ended September 30, 2020; and (iv) a total comprehensive loss attributable to stockholders of the Company and non-controlling interests of $17,469,205 (instead of $12,275,009) for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.  All other information included in the Amended Exhibit is unchanged.

A copy of the Amended Exhibit is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

The information contained in this Form 6-K, including Exhibit 99.1, is hereby incorporated by reference into the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-234405).
