establish schemes in other jurisdictions similar in substance to the 2021 Savings-related Share Option Schemes but modified to take account of local tax, exchange control or securities laws in overseas territories, provided that any shares made available under any such scheme will be treated as counting towards any limits on individual or overall participation in the 2021 Savings-related Share Option Schemes.”
