REASONS FOR THE CONDITIONAL GRANT OF SHARE OPTIONS AND SHARE AWARDS

The Board believes that the grant of the above Share Options and Share Awards can align the interests of the grantees with the interests of the Company and its Shareholders, motivate the grantees to commit to the Company’s future sustainable competitiveness, operating results and growth, and strengthen their commitment to long-term service to the Company, and is therefore consistent with the purpose of the 2023 Share Scheme.

NUMBER OF SHARES AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE GRANT

Considering that as at the date of this announcement, the 2023 Share Scheme is still subject to consideration and adoption by the Shareholders at the general meeting of the Company, the total number of Shares which may be issued in respect of all Share Options and Share Awards to be granted under the 2023 Share Scheme is still to be confirmed.
