Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Contract
On November 20, 2019,

with the Wuxi Natural Resources and Planning Bureau. Pursuant to the Land Use Contract, CASI-Wuxi will acquire the right to use
the 74,028 square meters of industrial land in Wuxi for a period of 50 years.
As consideration for
the land use right, CASI-Wuxi has committed to a land use fee in the total amount of approximately RMB 44,420,000 (USD$ 6,316,524),

initial construction to begin before August 26, 2020 and be completed before August 26, 2022, unless extended. CASI-Wuxi may
transfer portions of the granted land to a third party once it has invested 25 percent of the total fixed asset investments
amount and completed 25 percent of the project.
The foregoing description
of the Land Use Contract does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder
and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Land Use Contract that will be filed as an exhibit to the
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. for the year ended.
