To the Shareholders

Dear Sir/Madam,

(1) PROPOSED TERMINATION OF 2022 SHARE OPTION SCHEME AND ADOPTION OF 2024 SHARE OPTION SCHEME

(2) PROPOSED AMENDMENTS OF SHARE AWARD SCHEME AND

(3) NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is (i) to provide you with information on the 2024 Share Option Scheme and the Amended Share Award Scheme; and (ii) to give you the EGM Notice at which resolutions will be proposed to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the adoption of the 2024 Share Option Scheme and the amendments to the 2021 Share Award Scheme.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED TERMINATION OF THE 2022 SHARE OPTION SCHEME AND PROPOSED ADOPTION OF THE 2024 SHARE OPTION SCHEME

In light of the amendments to the requirements under Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules which took effect on 1 January 2023, the Board has taken the opportunity to review the 2022 Share Option Scheme and proposes to terminate it by approval of the Shareholders at the EGM and to adopt the 2024 Share Option Scheme to comply with the requirements under the amended Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules (‘‘Amended Rules’’). The termination of the 2022 Share Option Scheme would be conditional upon the 2024 Share Option Scheme becoming effective.

Termination of the 2022 Share Option Scheme

The 2022 Share Option Scheme was adopted by the Company pursuant to an ordinary resolution passed by the Shareholders on 21 June 2022 for a period of 10 years from the date of its adoption.

Details of the 2022 Share Option Scheme are as follows:

(i) Scheme limit

The total number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under the 2022 Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Group must not exceed such number of Shares representing 10% of the issued Shares as at the relevant date of approval of the adoption of the 2022 Share Option Scheme (being 21 June 2022).

(ii) Number of share options granted

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no options had been granted under the 2022 Share Option Scheme. As a result, there were no outstanding options under the 2022 Share Option Scheme as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Upon termination of the 2022 Share Option Scheme, no further options will be granted thereunder. The Board confirms that it will not grant any further options under the 2022 Share Option Scheme prior to the EGM.

Adoption of the 2024 Share Option Scheme

The Board proposes to recommend to the Shareholders to approve the 2024 Share Option Scheme which will be valid for 10 years from the Adoption Date, so that Options may be granted to the Eligible Participants pursuant to the terms thereof. A summary of the principal terms of the 2024 Share Option Scheme is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The purpose of the 2024 Share Option Scheme is for the Company to attract, retain and motivate talented Eligible Participants to strive for future developments and expansion of the Group and to provide the Company with a flexible means of giving incentive to, rewarding, remunerating, compensating and/or providing benefits to the Eligible Participants and for such other purposes as the Board may approve from time to time.

The effectiveness of the 2024 Share Option Scheme is conditional upon:

  • i. the passing of an ordinary resolution to approve the adoption of the 2024 Share Option Scheme by the Shareholders at the EGM; and

  • ii. the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting approval for the listing of and permission to deal in such number of Shares to be allotted and issued by the Company pursuant to the exercise of Options which may be granted under the 2024 Share Option Scheme.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were an aggregate of 13,585,338,609 Shares in issue. Assuming no Shares will be issued or repurchased from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of the EGM on which the 2024 Share Option Scheme is expected to be conditionally approved and adopted by the Shareholders, the maximum number of Shares that can be issued upon exercise of the Options that may be granted under the 2024 Share Option Scheme and any other scheme(s) is 1,358,533,860, representing not more than 10% of the Shares in issue (excluding Treasury Shares).

Exercise Price

The Exercise Price in respect of any Option shall, subject to any adjustments made pursuant to the rules of the 2024 Share Option Scheme, be at the discretion of the Directors, provided that it must be at least the highest of:

  • (a) the closing price of the Shares as stated in the Stock Exchange’s daily quotations sheet on the Offer Date, which must be a Business Day;

  • (b) the average closing price of the Shares as stated in the Stock Exchange’s daily quotations sheets for the five Business Days immediately preceding the Offer Date; and

  • (c) the nominal value of the Shares on the Offer Date;

provided that in the event of fractional prices, the Exercise Price per Share shall be rounded upwards to the nearest whole cent.

Value of Options

The Board considers that it is not practicable to state the value of all Options that can be granted under the 2024 Share Option Scheme as if they had been granted on the Latest Practicable Date prior to the approval of the 2024 Share Option Scheme as the variables crucial to the calculation of the value of such Options cannot be ascertained at this stage. Such variables include

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

but are not limited to the Exercise Price, vesting period, any performance targets set and any other terms and conditions that the Board may impose with respect to the Options. With a scheme life of 10 years, the Board is of the view that it is premature and inappropriate to state the value of the Options for the time being in this circular, as any calculation of such will not be meaningful and may be misleading to the Shareholders in the circumstances.

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO 2021 SHARE AWARD SCHEME

The 2021 Share Award Scheme was adopted by the Board on 20 August 2021. Details of the 2021 Share Award Scheme are set out in the announcement of the Company dated 20 August 2021. As at the Latest Practicable Date, 92,500,000 Shares had been granted under the 2021 Share Award Scheme, representing approximately 0.68% of the total issued Shares as at the same date. Any unvested award Shares granted under the 2021 Share Award Scheme prior to the EGM shall continue to be valid in accordance with the 2021 Share Award Scheme. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were no unvested award shares granted under the 2021 Share Award Scheme.

The Board has proposed to seek approval from Shareholders at the EGM for certain amendments to be made to the 2021 Share Award Scheme to, among other things, bring it in line to reflect the latest amendments to the requirements under Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules which took effect on 1 January 2023.

As the proposed amendments to the Share Award Scheme are considered to be material in nature, the Amended Share Award Scheme will be subject to approval by the Shareholders at the EGM. In the event that the proposed amendments to the Share Award Scheme are not approved by Shareholders at the EGM, the Company would only operate the existing 2021 Share Award Scheme and grant or vest the Awards under the same to the extent permitted by the Listing Rules.

Proposed amendments to the 2021 Share Award Scheme

In light of the Amended Rules, the Board has proposed to seek approval from the Shareholders at the EGM for the Amended Share Award Scheme to bring it in line with the Amended Rules. The key changes entailed by the proposed amendments include, without limitation, the following:

  • (i) to revise the scope of Eligible Participants to include (i) Employee Participants; (ii) Related Entity Participants; and (iii) Service Providers;

  • (ii) to allow for the grant of awards using new Shares (including grant of awards using Treasury Shares) in addition to existing Shares to be purchased from the Stock Exchange or off-market (as previously allowed under the 2021 Share Award Scheme);

  • (iii) to adopt the Scheme Mandate Limit and the Service Provider Sublimit;

  • (iv) to include the requirement of independent Shareholders’ approval for refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit and Service Providers Sublimit;

– 11 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (v) to adopt a maximum limit for Shares which may be awarded under the Amended Share Award Scheme and other share schemes of the Company, being 10% of the total issued Shares of the Company as at the Amendment Date (excluding any Shares which are the subject matter of any Awards that have already lapsed in accordance with the terms of the 2021 Share Award Scheme);

  • (vi) to include the requirement for 1% individual limit;

  • (vii) to include the requirement for 0.1% individual limit for grant of Awards (excluding options) to Directors other than independent non-executive Directors and chief executive, or any of their associates in the 12-month period up to and including the date of such grant;

  • (viii) to include the requirement for 0.1% individual limit for grant of Options or Awards to an independent non-executive Director or a substantial shareholder of the Company, or any of their respective associates in the 12-month period up to and including the date of such grant;

  • (ix) to elaborate on the provisions for adjustment of awards granted under the Amended Share Award Scheme in the event of a capitalization issue, rights issue, sub-division or consolidation of shares or reduction of capital;

  • (x) clarification that the Board or a committee of the Board may set performance targets and/ or clawback mechanism as part of the vesting conditions of the Awards;

  • (xi) to adopt a minimum vesting period of 12 months save where the grant of Awards to Employee Participants are subject to a shorter vesting period under specific circumstances, and to require approval by the independent non-executive Directors for Awards (excluding any independent non-executive Director who is a proposed recipient of the grant of Awards) granted to Directors, chief executive or substantial shareholder of the Company;

  • (xii) adding requirement to seek Shareholders’ approval for any alteration of the Amended Share Award Scheme which are of material nature or relating to matters set out in Rule 17.03 of the Amended Rules to the advantage of Eligible Participants; and

  • (xiii) to include other amendments for house-keeping purposes and to better align the wording of the Amended Share Award Scheme with that of the Listing Rules.

A summary of the principal terms of the Amended Share Award Scheme is set out in Appendix II to this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The contractors, suppliers and agents and entities providing research, development or other technological support are connected with the Group’s day-to-day operations in the areas of digitized operation services in healthcare industry, smart healthcare services platform and entertainment and media, and their performances will contribute to the operating performance and financial results of the Group; and (ii) advisers, consultants and service providers are those who would play significant roles in the Group’s business development by contributing their skills, experience, knowledge and expertise in the business activities of the Group on a continuing and recurring basis. Such advisers, consultants and service providers, possessing industry-specific knowledge or expertise or valuable experience or deep understanding or insight in the business, financial or commercial areas of the Group, would provide advisory, consultancy and technology services to the Group on areas that form part of or are directly ancillary to the businesses conducted by the Group from time to time, as disclosed in the Company’s financial statements and reports (including but not limited to (i) provision of online drug prescription and circulation service and digitized marketing service in the healthcare industry; (ii) healthcare and wellness services; (iii) marketing of pharmaceutical products; (iv) development of entertainment, culture and media businesses; and (v) content production and distributions in Hong Kong, the PRC, Korea, United States and globally). Their continuing and recurring engagement and cooperation with the Group would benefit the Group with frequent and successive strategic advice and guidance in its ordinary and usual course of business, which are substantively comparable to contributions of highly-skilled or executive employees of the Group.

In assessing the eligibility of the Service Provider(s), the Board will consider all relevant factors as appropriate, including:

  • (a) in respect of contractors, suppliers and agents and entities providing research, development or other technological support:

  • (i) the scale of the Service Provider’s business dealings with the Group in terms of purchases or sales attributable to him/her/it;

  • (v) the business opportunities and external connections that the Service Provider has introduced or will potentially introduce to the Group.

  • (b) in respect of advisers and consultants:

  • (i) the expertise, professional qualifications and industry experience of the Service Provider;

  • (ii) the performance of the Service Provider and track record;

  • (iii) the prevailing market fees chargeable by other service providers;

  • (iv) the benefits and strategic value brought by the Service Provider to the Group’s development and future prospects in terms of the financial return attributable to the Service Provider’s collaboration with the Group;

  • (v) the Group’s length of engagement of or scale of collaboration or business dealings with the Service Provider; and

  • (vi) the Service Provider’s actual or potential contribution to the Group in terms of a reduction in costs or an increase in revenue or profit.

Reasons for inclusion of Related Entity Participants and Service Providers as Eligible Participants

The Group’s businesses of smart healthcare services platform are carried out under VIE contractual arrangements by operating companies in mainland China, and the directors and chief executives of such operating companies are primarily responsible for the operations of the aforesaid businesses. The Group makes investment in investee companies in the field of entertainment and media business which are associated companies of the Group. The Group does not actively take part in the management of those associated companies, which are handled by their respective chief executive and directors. Whether such investments by the Group can become fruitful depends on, among other thing, how well these associated companies are managed.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Considering the Company’s hiring practices and organisational structures and that Service Providers and Related Entity Participants have contributed to the long-term growth of the Company’s businesses, the Board is of the view that it would be in the Company’s interest to also have the flexibility to grant Options and/or Awards to Related Entity Participants and Service Providers in recognition of their contributions to the Group. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) also consider that it is beneficial to include the Related Entity Participants and Service Providers since a sustainable and stable relationship with them is essential to the business development of the Group, and that the grant of Options and/or Awards to these non-employee participants will align their interests with the Group’s, incentivizing them to provide better services to, create more opportunities for and/or contribute to the success of the Group in the long run.

More specifically, the Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) is of the view that:

  • (i) the Related Entity Participants have always had a close working relationship with the Group, and are valuable human resources and have significant influence on the growth, development, business operation and the financial performance of the Group. It is therefore in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders, and is in line with the purposes of the 2024 Share Schemes to include the Related Entity Participants in recognition of their contribution to the Group; and

  • (ii) the collaboration and long-term working relationship with the Service Providers, and the contribution of their specialized skills and connections in the industry such as digitized operation service in the healthcare industry, smart healthcare services platform, entertainment and media, and other areas in relation to the Group’s business operation from time to time as disclosed in the Company’s financial statements and reports (including but not limited to (i) provision of online drug prescription and circulation service and digitized marketing service in the healthcare industry; (ii) healthcare and wellness services; (iii) marketing of pharmaceutical products; (iv) development of entertainment, culture and media businesses; and (v) content production and distributions in Hong Kong, the PRC, Korea, United States and globally), is considered to be important to the success of the Group’s future business and future developments. In particular, with the rapid expansion of the Group’s overseas business in jurisdictions where it is not practical to set up local subsidiaries to hire local employees, the Group has engaged and intends to continue to engage Service Providers in such jurisdictions to provide consultancy, business and management services in order to support the Group’s overseas business. Service Providers are crucial in supporting the Company’s strategic initiatives by providing insights into market trends, competitor analysis, and emerging technologies, thereby guiding investment decisions, and maximizing returns on investment in the entertainment and media industry. Additionally, the Service Providers may also offer research and development support that can assist in market research, as well as product development for marketing on the smart healthcare services platform. While there may be no history of grant of share options or awards to the Service

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Providers, the inclusion of Service Providers is consistent with the Company’s overarching objective of maintaining adaptability to changing market conditions, technological advancements, and operational efficiency. This underscores the Company’s steadfast commitment to incentivizing key contributors and empowering Service Providers to actively participate in the Company’s long-term growth while allowing the Group to keep its remuneration package competitive in order to attract and retain talents. The inclusion of the Service Providers as a category of the Eligible Persons would enable the Group to preserve its cash resources, and instead, use share incentives to attract persons of talent outside of the Group.

Therefore, the Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) considers that the proposed categories of the Related Entity Participants and the Service Providers are in line with the Company’s business needs and the industry norm, desirable and necessary from a commercial perspective and help maintain or enhance the business needs of the Group. Through the grant of the Options or Awards, such Eligible Persons and the Group will have a common goal in the growth and development of the Group’s business, and will enable the Company to attract persons of talent outside of the Group, whilst aligning their interests with and increasing their loyalty to the Group.

Vesting Period

The vesting period of the Options and the Awarded Shares shall not be less than 12 months from the Offer Date or the Grant Date saved for certain circumstances permitted under the rules of the 2024 Share Option Scheme and the Amended Share Award Scheme as disclosed in the paragraph headed ‘‘7. Vesting Period of Options’’ in Appendix I to this circular and ‘‘9. Vesting of Awarded Shares’’ in Appendix II to this circular. The Board and the Remuneration Committee believe that its ability to provide for flexible accelerated exercisability or vesting of an Option or an Award in certain cases allows it to provide a competitive remuneration package to attract and retain individuals to provide services to the Group, and to provide for succession planning and the effective transition of employee responsibilities by incentivizing key employees to remain during critical transitions, ensuring continuity and stability facilitating knowledge transfer, mitigating disruption, attracting external talent by keeping its remuneration package competitive, and to reward exceptional performers with accelerated vesting or in exceptional circumstances where justified. The Company should also be allowed discretions to formulate its own talent recruitment and retention strategies in response to changing market conditions and industry competition, and thus should have flexibility to impose vesting conditions such as performance-based vesting conditions instead of time-based vesting criteria depending on individual circumstances.

Therefore, the Board and the Remuneration Committee are of the view that allowing a shorter vesting period in the circumstances prescribed in the paragraph headed ‘‘7. Vesting Period of Options’’ in Appendix I to this circular and ‘‘9. Vesting of Awarded Shares’’ in Appendix II to this circular is in line with the market practice and is appropriate and aligns with the purpose of the 2024 Share Schemes.

Scheme Mandate Limit and Service Provider Sublimit

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 13,585,338,609 Shares in issue. Assuming that no further Shares will be allotted, issued, repurchased or cancelled prior to the EGM and after the resolutions regarding the proposed adoption of the 2024 Share Schemes are passed at the EGM, (i) the total number of Shares which may be issued and the number of Treasury Shares which may be transferred in respect of all Options and Awards under the 2024 Share Schemes and other share schemes of the Company that involve the issuance of new Shares and transfer of Treasury Shares (if any) would be no more than 1,358,533,860 Shares, representing no more than approximately 10% of the total number of Shares in issue (excluding the Treasury Shares) as at the Adoption Date or Amendment Date; and (ii) within the Scheme Mandate Limit, the total number of Shares that may be issued and the number of Treasury Shares which may be transferred under the 2024 Share Schemes and other share schemes of the Company that involve the issuance of new Shares and transfer of Treasury Shares (if any) to the Service Providers would be no more than 135,853,386 Shares, representing no more than approximately 1% of the total number of Shares in issue (excluding the Treasury Shares) as at the Adoption Date or Amendment Date.

The Service Provider Sublimit is determined after considering a number of factors, including (i) the potential dilution effect arising from grants to Service Providers, (ii) the importance of striking a balance between achieving the purpose of the 2024 Share Schemes and protecting the Shareholders from the dilution effect from granting a substantial amount of Options and Awarded Shares to the Service Providers, (iii) the extent of use of the Service Providers in the Group’s businesses, the current payment and/or settlement arrangement with the Service Providers, (iv) the expected contribution to the development and growth of the Company attributable to the Service Providers and (v) the sublimit represents a maximum limit and that the Company retains the flexibility to allocate Options and Awarded Shares from this sublimit to satisfy Options and Awards to other Eligible Persons depending on business growth and needs in the future as and when appropriate. The dilution of Shareholders’ interest resulting from the adoption of the 2024 Share Schemes will not be significant each year given that the grants of Options and Awards to be made pursuant to the Scheme Mandate Limit (and the Service Provider Sublimit) are expected to be spread out over the 10-year term of the 2024 Share Schemes (unless the Scheme Mandate Limit or the Service Provider Sublimit is sought to be refreshed, in which case further approval of the Shareholders will be required). Given the above, the Board considers that a Service Provider Sublimit of 1% would not lead to an excessive dilution of shareholding of the existing Shareholders. The Service Provider Sublimit is subject to separate approval by the Shareholders at the EGM.

Considering the Group’s hiring practice, organizational structures and business growth and needs in the future and that the Service Providers have contributed to the long-term growth of the Company’s businesses, the Board is of the view that, the Service Provider Sublimit is appropriate and reasonable given the Group’s business needs, and such limit provides the Group with flexibility to provide equity incentives (instead of expending cash resources in the form of monetary

consideration) to reward and collaborate with persons who are not employees or officers of the Group, but who may have exceptional expertise in their field or may be able to provide valuable expertise and services to the Group, which is in line with the purpose of the 2024 Share Schemes.

Basis of determining the exercise price of Share Options and purchase price of Award Shares

Grantees to whom Share Options shall be granted, are entitled to subscribe for the number of Shares at the exercise price as determined on the Offer Date. The basis for determining the exercise price is also specified precisely in the rules of the 2024 Share Option Scheme, which is summarized under paragraph headed ‘‘8. Exercise Price’’ in the Appendix I to this circular. The Directors consider that such basis will serve to preserve the value of the Company and encourage the Eligible Participants to acquire proprietary interests in the Company.

The Selected Participant is not required to pay any purchase price to receive the Awarded Shares comprising an Award which will offer a favourable and accepted means of providing incentive to Selected Participants, and hence aligns with the purpose of the Amended Share Award Scheme.

Performance target and clawback mechanism

Unless otherwise determined by the Board or a committee of the Board and stated in the Offer or specified in the Award Notice (as the case may be), a Grantee or Selected Participant (as the case may be) is not required to achieve any performance targets before the exercise of an Option or vesting of an Award (as the case may be) granted to him/her.

Under the 2024 Share Option Scheme and the Amended Share Award Scheme, the Board may impose clawback mechanism for the Company to recover or withhold any unvested Options or Awards granted to any participants. The Board believes that the aforesaid will provide the Board with more flexibility in setting the terms and conditions of the Award Shares under particular circumstances of each grant and facilitate the Board’s aim to offer meaningful incentives to attract and retain quality personnel that are valuable to the development of the Group and for the benefit of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company to retain the flexibility to impose appropriate conditions in light of the particular circumstances of each grant, which would then be a more meaningful reward for the Eligible Participants’ contribution or potential contribution. Further, to impose performance targets as may be stipulated in the Offer letter or Award Notice on a case-by-case basis allow the Company to be in a better position to retain such Eligible Participants to continue serving the Group whilst at the same time providing these Eligible Participants further incentive in achieving the goals of the Group, and therefore aligns with the purposes of the 2024 Share Schemes.

  • (ii) grants to an Employee Participant whose employment is terminated due to disability or occurrence of any uncontrollable event;

  • (iii) grants that are made in batches during a year for administrative and compliance reasons for delay, these Options that should have been granted earlier if not for such administrative or compliance reasons but had to wait for subsequent batch. In such case, the vesting period may be shorter to reflect the time from which the Option would have been granted;

  • (iv) grants with a mixed or accelerated vesting schedule such as where the Option may vest evenly over a period of 12 months;

  • (v) grants with performance-based vesting conditions in lieu of time-based vesting criteria; or

No Grantee shall in any way sell, transfer, charge, mortgage, encumber or otherwise dispose of or create any interest whatsoever in favour of any third party over or in relation to any Option or enter into any agreement to do so. Any breach of the foregoing by a Grantee shall entitle the Company to cancel any Option granted to such Grantee to the extent not already exercised.

Each such notice must be accompanied by a remittance for the full amount of the Exercise Price for Shares in respect of which the notice is given.

The date of cessation or termination as aforesaid shall be the last day on which the Grantee was actually at work with the Company or the relevant Subsidiary whether salary is paid in lieu of notice or not.

  • (c) If a general or partial offer, whether by way of takeover offer, share re-purchase offer, or scheme of arrangement or otherwise in like manner is made to all the Shareholders, or all such holders other than the offeror and/or any person controlled by the offeror and/or any person acting in association or concert with the offeror, the Company shall use all reasonable endeavours to procure that such offer is extended to all the Grantees on the same terms, mutatis mutandis, and assuming that they will become, by the exercise in

16. PERFORMANCE TARGET

Unless otherwise determined by the Directors and stated in the Offer to a Grantee, a Grantee is not required to achieve any performance targets before the exercise of an Option granted to him/ her.

provided that no such alteration shall operate to affect adversely the terms of issue of any Option granted or agreed to be granted prior to such alteration except with the consent or sanction of such majority of the Grantees as would be required of the Shareholders under the Articles of Association for a variation of the rights attached to the Shares.

  • (b) Any change to the terms of the Options granted to an Eligible Participant must be approved by the Board, the Remuneration Committee, the independent non-executive directors of the Company and/or Shareholders (as the case may be) if the initial grant of the Options was approved by the Board, the Remuneration Committee, the independent non-executive directors of the Company and/or the Shareholders (as the case may be).

Details of the Options granted, including Options exercised or outstanding, under the 2024 Share Option Scheme must be disclosed in the circular to Shareholders seeking approval of any subsequent share option scheme to be established after such termination.

Unless the Board otherwise determined and provided in the Offer, in the event that prior to or on the date(s) of vesting, a Grantee ceases to be or is deemed to cease to be an Eligible Participant, the relevant Options shall, unless otherwise determined by the Board or its absolute discretion, lapse and automatically be forfeited or otherwise deemed to have been waived or given up by the Grantee forthwith. A Grantee shall be treated as having ceased to be an Eligible Participant if (including but not limited to):

  • (i) such person has committed any act of fraud, dishonesty or serious misconduct;

  • (vi) where such person ceases to be service providers of the Group after a notice of termination has been served by the relevant member of the Group, or that relevant member of the Group ceases to be a member of the Group; or

  • (vii) such person is in breach of the 2024 Share Option Scheme or has done or failed to take any action or execute any document which the Board, in its absolute discretion, determines to be a breach of any provision of the 2024 Share Option Scheme.

The clawback of Options granted to the Directors and senior management of the Group, and any grants of Options to the Directors and senior management of the Group without clawback mechanism shall be further subject to the approval of the Remuneration Committee and satisfaction of any other requirements under the Listing Rules. The Options that are clawed back pursuant to this paragraph 20 (including the conditions (i) to (vii) mentioned above) shall be regarded as cancelled and the Options so cancelled shall be regarded as utilised for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit (or the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed, as the case may be).

For the avoidance of doubt, without prejudice to the above, no clawback provisions will apply to Options to the extent they have been vested.

  • (F) grants of Awards with a total vesting and holding period of more than 12 months; or
