This announcement is made pursuant to Rule 17.06A of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “ Listing Rules ”).

The board of directors (the “ Board ”) of Winsway Enterprises Holdings Limited (the “ Company ”) announces that the Company granted share options (the “ Share Options ”) to certain eligible persons (the “ Grantees ”) under the share option scheme adopted by the Company on 6 June 2014 (“ Share Option Scheme ”), to subscribe for ordinary shares with no par value in the share capital of the Company (the “ Shares ”). The details of such grant are as follows:

Date of grant:

Number of Share Options granted:

111,400,000 Share Options, each Share Option entitling the Grantees to subscribe for one Share

Exercise price of Share Options granted:

Closing price of the Shares on the Date of Grant:

Validity and exercise period of the Share Options:

The Share Options granted to each Grantee shall be valid for 5 years commencing from the Date of Grant and exercisable during the relevant period to the extent the Share Options have vested.

Vesting Period of the Share Options:

The Share Options will vest every six months over a period of four years commencing from 1 October 2014 (“ Initial Vesting Date ”) in equal portions (12.5% each, rounded up to the nearest whole Share Option) and on the 1st day of April and October of each year (each a “ Vesting Date ”) after the Initial Vesting Date.

Vesting of the Share Options is subject to the Grantee completing a satisfactory performance appraisal according to a set of pre-determined performance conditions set by the Board for each 6-month period ending immediately before the Initial Vesting date or the Vesting Date, as applicable; provided that any Share Options which should have vested on the Initial Vesting Date or a Vesting Date but for the failure to complete satisfactorily (in whole or in part) the relevant performance appraisal, shall accumulate, at the discretion of the Board (with or without imposing any additional performance and vesting requirements), and such accumulated Share Options will vest on the Vesting Date immediately following the first performance appraisal to be satisfactorily completed thereafter.

Such pre-determined performance conditions shall consist of the following four components, each relating to the Company and being linked to 25% of the Share Options subject to vesting at the relevant period:

  • (1) budget conditions;

  • (2) operation conditions;

  • (3) business development conditions; and

  • (4) health, safety and environmental conditions.

The Board engaged an independent professional advisor to conduct an independent review of the Share Option Scheme who concluded that the Share Option Scheme adopted by the Company is a well-designed tool to incentivize and retain key personnel, and to align their interests with those of the Company’s shareholders.
