LETTER FROM THE BOARD

3. REASONS FOR THE GRANT OF SHARE OPTIONS

The purpose of the Proposed Grant is to grant incentive and rewards to recognise the significant efforts and contribution of Ms. Chen in the development of the Group’s business. The Board considers that the above purpose can be achieved by granting the Share Options as it demonstrates to Ms. Chen that her efforts and contributions to the Group are valued and will be rewarded.

Ms. Chen is the executive Director, the chairman of the Board and the chief executive officer of the Company. She has more than 14 years of experience in the consumer goods industry. With her extensive experience in operation management and corporate strategic development in the consumer goods and cosmetic products industry, Ms. Chen is principally responsible for overseeing the overall management and business operation and formulating strategies and operational plans of our Group.

Ms. Chen joined the Group in January 2016 and assumed the roles of the executive Director, the chairman of the Board and the chief executive officer of the Company since then. Under the leadership of Ms. Chen, the financial performance of the Group has been continuously improving. From 2017 to 2020, the Company’s gross profit increased from RMB483.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2017 to RMB502.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2018, RMB599.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2019 and further to RMB742.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2020, representing a CAGR of 15.4%.

As evidenced by the Group’s continuous improvement of financial performance over the years, Ms. Chen’s leadership, expertise, management skills and insights into the industry are of critical importance to the development and growth of the Group. Through the Proposed Grant and the RSA Grant to Ms. Chen, the Company provides her with further incentives by offering her the opportunity to obtain further ownership interest in the Company in a period of ten years. The Board considered that this arrangement incentivises Ms. Chen to remain employed with the Group as the key management during such ten-year period and thereby enabling the Group and the Shareholders to benefit from the continued service of Ms. Chen during such period.

In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Proposed Grant and the RSA Grant to Ms. Chen, she could only exercise the Share Options and the Restricted Shares if and only if the respective Performance Target and Vesting Conditions, which comprise solely of KPI components relating to annual revenue growth rate and annual net profit growth rate of the Group, for the relevant period can be achieved. As such, the Board believes that the Proposed Grant and the RSA Grant to Ms. Chen will encourage her to perform her best in achieving the financial goals of the Group to promote the turnover and profitability of the Group and at the same time allow herself to enjoy her own benefit of the Share Options and the Restricted Shares.

Compared with other alternative means to incentivise the management, such as commission fees or cash incentives, the Board considered that the Proposed Grant and the RSA Grant to Ms. Chen are more appropriate as they will not impose additional pressure on the Group’s cash flow position. Furthermore, under the Proposed Grant, there might be loss of incentive value if the share price languishes below the exercise price for an extended period of time. The Board considered that the Proposed Grant will provide long-term incentive to

– 11 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Ms. Chen to improve the value of the Group and that Ms. Chen will share common interests and objectives with the Group as well as the Independent Shareholders upon her exercise of the Share Options and the Restricted Shares, which is beneficial to the long-term development of the Group.

Having considered the above, the Board and the remuneration committee of the Company considered that the Proposed Grant together with the RSA Grant to Ms. Chen is fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

4. LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

Pursuant to Rule 17.04(1) of the Listing Rules and the Share Option Scheme, the grant of Share Options by the Company to any Director, chief executive, or Substantial Shareholder(s) of the Company or any of their respective associates must be approved by the independent non-executive Directors (excluding independent non-executive Directors who are the grantees of the Share Options concerned). The grant of Share Options to Ms. Chen have been reviewed and approved by the independent non-executive Directors accordingly.

Pursuant to Rule 17.03(4), where any further grant of Share Options to the grantees would result in the Shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of all Share Options granted and to be granted to such person (including exercised, cancelled and outstanding) in the 12-month period up to and including the date of such further grant representing in aggregate over 1% of the relevant class of Shares in issue, such further grant must be separately approved by Shareholders in general meeting with such grantee and his close associates (or his associates if the grantee is a connected person) abstaining from voting.

As at the Date of Grant, there were 1,333,333,500 Shares in issue. The Proposed Grant of 65,000,000 Share Options to Ms. Chen, being an executive Director, the chairman of the Board and the chief executive officer of the Company, will result in the Shares to be issued upon exercise in full of the Share Options to be granted to her in the 12-month period up to and including the Date of Grant representing in aggregate over 1% of the Shares in issue.

Accordingly, the Company proposes to seek the approval of the Proposed Grant by the Independent Shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting. As required under the Note to Rule 17.03(4) of the Listing Rules, Ms. Chen and her respective associates, being Mr. Chen Kaixuan, Mr. Chen Kaichen, Ms. Li Ruohong, Ms. Ma Huizhen and Cheerwin Global Limited, shall abstain from voting at the Extraordinary General Meeting for the purpose of approving the Proposed Grant. As at the Latest Practicable Date, without taking into account the Restricted Shares under the RSA Grant, Ms. Chen and her associates held in aggregate 991,743,500 Shares, representing approximately 74.38% of the total number of Shares in issue.

For the purpose of the RSA Grant, the Company will appoint two Trustees to hold Restricted Shares separately for the respective benefit of the connected persons and other non-connected persons of the Company. Pursuant to the Announcement and the RSA Scheme, the 19,800,000 Restricted Shares granted to the nine RSA Grantees, including the 15,000,000 Restricted Shares granted to Ms. Chen, representing approximately 1.12% of the issued Shares as at the Date of Grant, under the RSA Grant will be existing Shares transferred from Cheerwin Global Limited, the controlling Shareholder of the Company, to the Trustees (the “ Transfer ”), and no new Shares will be issued by the Company as a result of the RSA Grant. As of the Latest

– 12 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Practicable Date, the Trustees and their respective ultimate beneficial owners are third parties independent of the Company and its connected persons and Cheerwin Global Limited has not transferred any Shares to the Trustees. No consideration will be involved for the Transfer and the Transfer will take place after six months from the Listing Date, in compliance with the relevant requirements under Chapter 14A and Rule 10.07(1) of the Listing Rules.

Notes:
  • (1) All the Grantees under the Share Option Scheme are each subject to the undertaking that, if he/she is/becomes a core connected person of the Company or otherwise not recognised as a member of the public pursuant to the Listing Rules, he/she shall not exercise the Share Option(s) if and to the extent that the public float of the Company as required in accordance with the Listing Rules (i) has fallen as at the date of the intended exercise of such Share Option(s); or (ii) will fall as a result of his/her exercise of the Share Option(s) to a level lower than required under the Listing Rules. In light of the Grantees’

– 13 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

undertaking as set out above, the Company is of the view that the risk of the potential non-compliance in relation to Rules 8.08(1)(a) and 13.32(1) of the Listing Rules is remote as the Share Options under the SOS Grant would only become exercisable and be fully exercised by portion in a period of ten years subject to attainment of the Performance Target as set out in the Announcement. During such ten-year period, the Company may consider to conduct fund raising activities towards independent investors which will broaden the shareholder base of the Company and can lead to dilution of the shareholding of core connected persons of the Company and also the increase in the public float of the Company.

  • (2) The shareholding is for illustrative purpose only as all the Grantees are subject to the undertaking as stated in note (1) above.

  • (3) The shares held by Ms. Chen and her respective associates have not taken into account the Restricted Shares under the RSA Grant.

  • (4) Mr. Xie Rusong is an executive Director and the vice president of the Company. Hence, Mr. Xie Rusong is a connected person of the Company and the Shares held by him will not be counted as public float. According to the Share Option Scheme, he was granted 600,000 Share Options to subscribe for a total of 600,000 Shares.

  • (5) Mr. Zhong Xuyi is an executive Director and the chief financial officer of the Company.
