(Stock Code: 419)

ADOPTION OF SHARE AWARD SCHEME

The Board is pleased to announce that the Company has adopted the Scheme on the Adoption Date. The purposes and objectives of the Scheme are to recognise the contributions by certain Eligible Participants and to provide them with incentives in order to retain them for the continual operation and development of the Group and to attract suitable personnel for further development of the Group.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

The Scheme does not constitute a share option scheme pursuant to Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules. No Shareholders’ approval is required to adopt the Scheme.

The grant of Shares to a Director and other connected persons (as defined under the Listing Rules) of the Company will require compliance with Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE SCHEME

Effectiveness and duration

The Scheme commences on the Adoption Date and remains valid and effective unless and until being terminated on the earlier of: (i) the 10th anniversary date of the Adoption Date; or (ii) such date of early termination as determined by the Board, provided that such termination shall not affect any subsisting rights of any Selected Grantee.

– 1 –

Administration

The Scheme shall be subject to the administration of the Board, and the decision of the Board with respect to any matter arising under the Scheme (including the interpretation of any provision) shall be final, conclusive and binding.

Scheme Limit

The maximum number of Shares which may be awarded under the Scheme shall not exceed ten (10) per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Adoption Date. The maximum number of Shares which may be awarded to any one Selected Grantee in any 12-month period shall not exceed one (1) per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company from time to time.

Operation of the Scheme

Grant of Awarded Shares to Selected Grantees

Subject to the provisions of the Scheme, the Board may from time to time at its absolute discretion select any Eligible Participant (other than any Excluded Participant) for participation in the Scheme as a Selected Grantee, and grant such number of Awarded Shares to any Selected Grantee at no consideration and in such number and on and subject to such terms and conditions as it may in its absolute discretion determine.

The Awarded Shares shall be either:–

  • (i) new Shares to be allotted and issued by the Company under the General Mandate or the Specific Mandate;

  • (ii) new Shares to be allotted and issued by the Company under the Specific Mandate where (a) any grant of the Awarded Shares would cause the Company to issue and allot Shares in excess of the permitted amount in the General Mandate available from time to time; or (b) any Award is made to a connected person of the Company; or

  • (iii) (where applicable and if the Trustee has been appointed) issued Shares acquired by the Trustee from the open market by utilising the Company’s resources provided to the Trustee, subject to the absolute discretion of the Board.

The abovementioned subscription for and/or purchase of the Awarded Shares shall be funded by internal resources of the Company.

The Board currently proposes to grant all Awards to the Selected Grantees directly, rather than through a Trustee. However, the Board has retained the flexibility under the rules of the Scheme to allow the Company to appoint a Trustee (which should be a third party independent of the Company) in the future to assist the Company with the administration of the Scheme and vesting of the Awards granted. Under the Scheme, to the extent permitted by the applicable laws and by the Listing Rules, the Company may (i) allot and issue Awarded Shares to the Trustee to be held by the Trustee pending the vesting and/or the allotment of such Awarded Shares and which will be used to satisfy the Awards upon vesting; and/or (ii) direct and procure the Trustee to make onmarket purchases of the Shares to satisfy the Awards upon vesting.

If a Trustee is appointed, its role shall be to, among other things, (i) subscribe for new Shares or purchase Shares on market as directed by the Company for the purpose of satisfying the Awards upon vesting; and (ii) hold Shares on trust on behalf of the Selected Grantees until such time as the relevant Awards vest or lapse. In the event an Award granted under the Scheme lapses, is forfeited or deemed to have been waived or given up by the Selected Grantee, any Shares which have been allotted to and/or held by the Trustee to satisfy such Award shall, as determined by the Board in its absolute discretion, (i) be sold by the Trustee with the net proceeds of sale to be remitted to the Company; or (ii) continue to be held by the Trustee for the purpose of fulfilling other Awards.

The Company shall comply with the Articles and the relevant Listing Rules when allotting and issuing any new Shares under General Mandate or Specific Mandate (as applicable from time to time) and application shall be made to the Stock Exchange for the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in the new Shares to be issued at or prior to the time of the vesting of the Awarded Shares.

Where any grant of Awarded Shares is proposed to be made to any person who is a connected person (or who prior to the relevant Vesting Date has become a connected person) of the Company within the meaning of the Listing Rules, the Company shall comply with such provisions of the Listing Rules as may be applicable, including any reporting, announcement and/or Shareholders’ approval requirements, unless otherwise exempted under the Listing Rules.

Where any grant of Awarded Shares is proposed to be made to any Selected Grantee who is a Director (including an executive director, a non-executive and an independent non-executive Director), such grant must first be approved by all the members of the remuneration committee of the Company, or in the case where the grant is proposed to be made to any member of the remuneration committee, by all of the other members of the remuneration committee.

Vesting and lapse

Subject to the Scheme and the fulfilment of all vesting conditions to the vesting of the Awarded Shares on such Selected Grantee, the respective Awarded Shares shall vest in such Selected Grantee.

Subject to the Scheme, in the event that prior to or on the Vesting Date or the Allotment Date(s) (if so specified in the vesting notice), a Selected Grantee ceases to be or is deemed to cease to be an Eligible Participant or is found to be an Excluded Participant, the relevant Award made to such Selected Grantee shall, unless otherwise determined by the Board in its absolute discretion, lapse and automatically be forfeited or otherwise deemed to have been waived or given up by the Selected Grantee forthwith, and the relevant Awarded Shares shall not vest on the relevant Vesting Date or shall not be allotted on the relevant Allotment Date(s).

Subject to the Scheme, a person 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;

  • (ii) such person has been declared or adjudged to be bankrupt by a competent court or governmental body or has failed to pay his debts as they fall due or has entered into any arrangement or composition with his creditors generally or an administrator has taken possession of any of his assets;

  • (iii) such person has been convicted of any criminal offence;

  • (iv) such person has been convicted of or is being held liable for any offence under or any breach of the SFO or other securities laws or regulations in Hong Kong or any other applicable laws or regulations in force from time to time;

  • (v) the company by which such person is employed or of which such person is a director or chief executive (a) ceases to be a member of the Group (or if such person is employed in or appointed as a director or chief executive of more than one company within the Group, all such companies cease to be members of the Group); or (b) ceases to be an Associated Company;

  • (vi) where such person ceases to be a supplier, agent, customer, distributor, business associate or partner, professional or other adviser of, or consultant or contractor to, any member of the Group or any Associated Company after a notice of termination has been served by the relevant member of the Group or Associated Company, or that relevant member of the Group or Associated Company ceases to be a member of the Group or an Associated Company; or

Assignment

Prior to the Vesting Date, any Award made under the Scheme shall be personal to the Selected Grantee to whom it is made and shall not be assignable and no Selected Grantee shall in any way sell, transfer, charge, mortgage, encumber or create any interest in favour of any other person over or in relation to the Awarded Shares referable to him pursuant to such Award.

  • (ii) during the black-out periods applicable for the publication of annual or interim results of the Company as prescribed under the Listing Rules; or

  • (iii) in any circumstance which is prohibited under the Listing Rules, the SFO or any other law or regulation or where any requisite approval from any governmental or regulatory authority has not been granted.

Consolidation and Subdivision

In the event the Company undertakes a subdivision or consolidation of the Shares, such Selected Grantee shall be entitled to those Awarded Shares as so subdivided or consolidated and the Board shall as soon as reasonably practicable after such subdivision or consolidation has been effected, notify each such Selected Grantee of the number of Awarded Shares that he or she has become entitled to on vesting after such subdivision or consolidation (as the case may be). All fractional shares arising out of such subdivision or consolidation in respect of the Awarded Shares shall not be issued or allotted to the relevant Selected Grantee.
