LETTER FROM THE BOARD
2. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE POST-IPO RSU SCHEME
The Company was listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange on 10 April 2014. The Post-IPO RSU Scheme was approved by the Shareholders of the Company on 18 March 2014 and took effect on 10 April 2014 and was amended on 19 June 2015, pursuant to which, the total number of Shares underlying the RSUs that may be granted under the Post-IPO RSU Scheme was initially 56,488,440 Shares, representing 2% of the total number of Shares in issue on the Listing Date, or the Scheme Mandate Limit, which is subject to annual refreshment by Shareholder’s approval. Pursuant to the circular of the Company dated 24 April 2015 and the supplementary circular of the Company dated 14 May 2015, the Company proposed to increase the Scheme Mandate Limit, which should not exceed 4% of the number of Shares in issue as of the date of approval by the Shareholders. The amendments in respect of the increase in Scheme Mandate Limit was approved by the shareholders of the Company on 19 June 2015. As of the Latest Practicable Date, there was a total of 90,980,000 restricted share units (the “ RSUs ”) had been granted and outstanding under the Post-IPO RSU Scheme, representing 3.34% of the total number of issued Shares.
Details of the Post-IPO RSU Scheme and the RSUs granted thereunder are set out in the prospectus of the Company dated 28 March 2014, the circular of the Company dated 24 April 2015, the supplementary circular of the Company dated 14 May 2015, the circular of the Company dated 27 April 2016, the circular of the Company dated 27 April 2017, the announcements of the Company dated 10 July 2015, 30 July 2015 and 10 November 2017, the circulars of the Company dated 27 April 2018 and 26 April 2019, the announcement of the Company dated 2 April 2020, the circular of the Company dated 22 May 2020 and the annual reports of the Company for the previous seven years (2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019) and the announcement dated 11 September 2020, respectively.
Background for Amendments to the Post-IPO RSU Scheme
The Company continued to optimize its existing mobile game operations and other products and focused on offering innovative and diversified gaming content to game users and the performance of games, short and long videos and living streaming were all outstanding. The Company had launched three mobile games in the PRC in the second half of 2019, namely Shiwuyu (「食物語」), Aola Star Mobile 「奧拉星手遊」( ) and Zaowufaze II (「造物法則二:先鋒英雄」), all of which were well received by the market, which was a clear indication that the Company has successfully expanded from its web games to mobile games platform. Given the success in its mobile games, the Company had expanded its original mobile games to the regions other than mainland China, including Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, Korea, Europe and America as it executes its internationalisation strategy.
The Post-IPO RSU Scheme is the only share-based incentive scheme that the Company has in place to incentivise its employees after its listing on the Stock Exchange. Given that the Company is one of China’s leading internet content and service providers while such industry is becoming increasingly competitive in attracting talents and the base of the Company’s own talent pools continues to grow, there is a pressing need for the Company to amend the Post-IPO RSU Scheme to better attract, motivate and retain its directors, officers and employees, to align their interest with that of the Company and to retain the Company’s human resources and talents in the long term. The amendments to the Post-IPO RSU Scheme may also assist the Company in retaining the management of potential targets in case of any mergers and acquisitions situations.
