To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

(1) PROPOSALS FOR GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE SHARES
AND TO REPURCHASE SHARES,
(2) RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS,
(3) RE-APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS,
AND
(4) PROPOSED ADOPTION OF SHARE OPTION SCHEME

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information in respect of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM including, among other matters, the ordinary resolutions relating to (1) the granting to the Directors the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate; (2) the re-election of the retiring Directors; (3) the re-appointment of auditors; and (4) the proposed adoption of the Share Option Scheme.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(1) GENERAL MANDATES

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 20 June 2025 (“2025 AGM”), the Directors were granted by the then Shareholders (i) a general and unconditional mandate to allot, issue and deal with Shares (including any sale or transfer of treasury Shares out of treasury) not exceeding 20% of the aggregate number of the issued Shares (excluding treasury Shares) as at the date of passing such resolution; (ii) a general and unconditional mandate to repurchase Shares with an aggregate number not exceeding 10% of the aggregate number of the issued Shares (excluding treasury Shares) as at the date of passing such resolution and to determine such Shares repurchased shall be held as treasury Shares by the Company or otherwise be cancelled; and (iii) to extend the general mandate mentioned in (i) above by an amount representing the aggregate number of the Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the mandate to repurchase Shares referred to (ii) above.

The general mandates to issue and repurchase Shares and the extension mandate granted at the 2025 AGM will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. It is therefore proposed to seek your approval by way of ordinary resolutions to be proposed at the AGM to approve the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate. The Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plan to issue any Shares or repurchase any Shares pursuant thereto. Please refer to resolutions numbered 4 to 6 set out in the notice of AGM on pages 41 to 46 of this circular for details of the proposed Issue Mandate and Repurchase Mandate.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of issued Shares was 244,888,185 Shares (without treasury Shares). Assuming no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Issue Mandate will grant to the Directors an authority to issue up to 48,977,637 Shares.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

An explanatory statement containing all relevant information relating to the proposed Repurchase Mandate is set out in the Appendix I to this circular. The explanatory statement is to provide you with information reasonably necessary to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to grant to the Directors the Repurchase Mandate at the AGM.

(2) RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

The Board currently consists of five Directors, namely, Mr. Yu Hui, Ms. Li Zhuoyang, Mr. Cai Jinliang, Mr. Chin Hon Siang, and Mr. Chen Kwok Wang.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In accordance with Article 87 of the Articles, Mr. Yu Hui (“Mr. Yu”) and Mr. Cai Jinliang (“Mr. Cai”) shall retire from office by rotation and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election at the AGM.

Details of the retiring Directors proposed for re-election at the AGM are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

The nomination committee of the Company (the “Nomination Committee”) has reviewed the biographical information of the retiring Directors, and considered that the re-election of Mr. Cai as an independent non-executive Director would be in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole by taking into account that Mr. Cai has been a certified public accountant in China since August 2008 and has more than 15 years of practicing experience. His working profile and other experience and factors as set out in Appendix II to this circular.

Notwithstanding 中國證券監督管理委員會福建監管局 (China Securities Regulatory Commission (Fujian)) (“CSRC”) issued administrative penalties against the directors of 福建實達集團股份有限公司 (Fujian Start Group Co., Limited) (“Fujian Start”) (stock code: 600734. SSE), a company whose shares are listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange which included Mr. Cai, details of which were set out in the announcements of the Company dated 10 and 16 May 2022 made pursuant to Rule 13.51B(2) of the Listing Rules. The Board has carefully assessed the relevant penalty against Mr. Cai. To the best knowledge and information of the Board, the relevant penalty did not relate to the affairs of the Group and would not have any adverse impact on the business and/or operations of the Group. There is no evidence that the relevant penalty involved act of dishonesty, fraud or other circumstances that may cast doubt on the integrity of Mr. Cai, which would affect his suitability to continue acting as an independent non-executive Director of the Company.

In addition, the Stock Exchange issued a public censure against, among others, Mr. Cai on 17 March 2026 for the breach of Rule 3.08 and 3.09B(2) (Notes 2 and 3) for failing to exercise reasonable skill, care and diligence and to use his best endeavours to procure the Company's compliance with requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules applicable to the securities transactions. The Board is of the view that the breach did not involve any dishonesty, fraudulent or integrity issue of any Director, and the Company has taken remedial actions to avoid future occurrence of such incidents, details have been set out in the circular of the Company dated 27 January 2026. Therefore, the Board is of the opinion that the incident would not affect Mr. Cai's ability to continue acting as an independent non-executive Director.

  • 7 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In addition, his depth of knowledge and experience can support his roles and he actively participated in the Group's board meetings and board committee meetings, and made valuable contributions to the Group. The Nomination Committee is satisfied that Mr. Cai has the required character, integrity and experience to continuously fulfil his role as an independent non-executive Director effectively.

The Nomination Committee and the Board has also reviewed the annual confirmation of independence of Mr. Cai pursuant to Rule 3.13(a) to (c) of the Listing Rules and confirmed that he remains independent.

Accordingly, with the recommendation of the Nomination Committee, the Board has proposed that all retiring Directors stand for re-election as Directors at the AGM.

(3) RE-APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to approve the re-appointment of HLB Hodgson Impey Cheng Limited ("HLB") as auditors of the Company and to authorize the Board to fix the auditors' remuneration.

The audit fee payable to HLB for providing audit services to the Company for the year ending 31 December 2026 is estimated in the range of HK$830,000 to HK$930,000. The estimated audit fee is determined through negotiations between the Company and HLB on a fair and reasonable basis, taking into consideration, including but not limited to:

(i) the historical audit fees, prevailing market rates, the complexity and business plans of the Group; and

(ii) there is no material changes (a) in the Group's operations, namely, the sales of software licenses, hardware products and other products, the provision of integrated business software and hardware solutions and trading of listed securities; (b) in the accounting policies or regulatory environment during the year ending 31 December 2026; (c) the strategic direction of the Group's business plan as compared to that of the previous year; (d) in the upcoming audit scope and audit timetable; and (e) the resources to be allocated by HLB to the upcoming annual audit.

  • 8 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Based on the above, the Board is of the view that the estimated audit fee is a fair and reasonable estimation after due consideration, taking into account of the facts and circumstances known at the relevant time of determination.

(4) PROPOSED ADOPTION OF SHARE OPTION SCHEME

The Company adopted a share option scheme (the "Old Share Option Scheme") at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 26 May 2016, which has been expired on 26 May 2026. As such, the Company has no subsisting share scheme which was valid and effective from 26 May 2026.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there was 1,485,747 share options outstanding under the Old Share Option Scheme and no further share options may be granted after its expiry on 26 May 2026. Save for the Old Share Option Scheme, the Company does not have any other share scheme in operation.

The Board proposes the adoption of the Share Option Scheme, which will be valid for a period of ten (10) years from the Adoption Date. The Board has no immediate plan to grant any share options to Eligible Participants under the Share Option Scheme in the next 12 months.

The purposes of the Share Option Scheme are to reward Eligible Participants who have contributed to the Group and to encourage Eligible Participants to work towards enhancing the value of the Company and its Shares for the benefit of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. By granting Options to the Eligible Participants, it recognizes the contribution or future contribution of Eligible Participants to the Group and helps the Group to foster long-term relationship with the Eligible Participants by aligning their interests with that of the Group and Shareholders through them owning a proprietary interest in the Company and becoming future Shareholders, thereby helping the Group to attract, recruit, retain and motivate high-calibre Eligible Participants that are in line with its performance goals and business needs, which maintains or enhances the competitiveness of the Group.

The Company is allowed to use treasury Shares for the Share Option Scheme to the extent permitted by the Listing Rules, all applicable laws and regulations and the Articles. Under the Share Option Scheme, references to new Shares or new securities include treasury Shares, and references to the issue of Shares or securities include the transfer of treasury Shares.

  • 9 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had no treasury Shares and had no intention to use treasury Shares for the Share Option Scheme, if applicable.

The Share Option Scheme does not have a trustee and hence none of the Directors is and will be a trustee of the Share Option Scheme.

Scope of Eligible Participants

The Eligible Participants of the Share Option Scheme are the directors and employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including persons who are granted Options under the Share Option Scheme as an inducement to enter into employment contracts with these companies). The scope of the Eligible Participants does not include independent non-executive Directors.

When assessing the eligibility of an Eligible Participant, the Board will consider factors as it shall consider relevant, including but not limited to, (i) their job positions, responsibilities, duties, work performance and importance of their roles; (ii) their educational and professional qualifications, and knowledge in the industry; (iii) their length of engagement or employment with the Group; (iv) their time commitment, responsibilities or employment conditions according to the prevailing market practice and industry standard; (v) their contribution made or expected to be made to the existing and future business of the Group, and to the growth and development of the Group; (vi) the prevailing market conditions; (vii) local market practice and industry standards and benefits; and (viii) whether granting of an Option is an appropriate incentive, and how an Option (taken together with any performance targets and/or vesting terms) can serve the purpose of the Share Option Scheme with respect to both the proposed Grantee and the long-term growth of the Group. The Board may also utilize the internal assessment system of the Company to assess the Eligible Participant against the criteria(s) set out above and form a view as to whether the relevant criteria(s) have been satisfied.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that, based on the nature of the Group's business, the inclusion of directors and employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries as Eligible Participants is in line with the purposes of the Share Option Scheme, and is fair and reasonable and in the long-term interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

  • 10 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Scheme Mandate Limit

Pursuant to the Scheme Mandate Limit, the total number of Shares which may be issued in respect of all options and awards to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share schemes of the Company shall not, in aggregate exceed 10% in nominal amount of the aggregate of Shares in issue (excluding treasury Shares) as at the Adoption Date or the relevant date of approval of the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit. Options or awards lapsed in accordance with the terms of the Share Option Scheme and (as the case may be) such other share schemes of the Company will not be regarded as utilized for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 244,888,185 Shares in issue (excluding treasury Shares). Assuming that no further Shares will be allotted, issued, repurchased or cancelled prior to the AGM and after the resolutions regarding the proposed adoption of the Share Option Scheme are passed at the AGM, the Scheme Mandate Limit will be 24,488,818 Shares, representing approximately 10% of the issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date (excluding treasury Shares). For the avoidance of doubt, there were no treasury Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

The Company will make relevant disclosures by way of announcement(s) in compliance with Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules when granting the Options to the Eligible Participants.

Vesting Period

The vesting period for the Options shall not be less than 12 months, save for the specific circumstances prescribed below. To ensure the practicability in fully attaining the purpose of the Share Option Scheme, the Board and the Remuneration Committee are of the view that (i) there are certain instances where a strict twelve (12)-month vesting requirement would not work or would not be fair to the holders of the Options, which are set out in paragraph 8 of the Appendix III to this circular; (ii) there is a need for the Company to retain flexibility in certain cases to provide a competitive remuneration package to attract, recruit and retain individuals to provide services to the Group, to provide for succession planning and the effective transition of employee responsibilities and to reward exceptional performers with accelerated vesting or in exceptional circumstances where justified; and (iii) the Company should 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.

  • 11 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Hence, the Board and the Remuneration Committee are of the view that the shorter Vesting Period prescribed in paragraph 8 of the Appendix III to this circular is in line with the market practice and is appropriate and aligns with the purpose of the Share Option Scheme.

Basis of Determining the Subscription Price of Options

Grantees to whom Options shall be granted, are entitled to subscribe for the number of Shares at the Subscription Price as determined on the Grant Date. The basis for determining the Subscription Price is also specified in the rules of the Share Option Scheme and is summarized under paragraph 4 of the Appendix III to this circular. The Board considers that such basis will serve to preserve the value of the Company and encourage Eligible Participants to acquire proprietary interests in the Company.

Performance Targets and Clawback Mechanism

Subject to the Share Option Scheme and the Listing Rules, the Board may at its absolute discretion when making the offer for the grant of an Option impose any conditions, restrictions or limitations in relation thereto including the Vesting Period and/or the achievement of any performance targets by the Company and/or the Grantee before the Option shall vest, provided that such terms or conditions shall not be inconsistent with any other terms or conditions of the Share Option Scheme. Save as determined by the Board on a case-by-case basis and provided in the offer letter of the grant of the relevant Option at the discretion of the Board, there is no performance target which must be achieved before an Option can be exercised. Save for the clawback mechanism described in paragraphs 9 in the Appendix III to this circular, the Share Option Scheme does not prescribe any other clawback mechanism.

There are provisions in the Share Option Scheme which provides for circumstances under which the Options shall lapse automatically in the event that the Grantees cease to be the Eligible Participants, or commit a breach of the Share Option Scheme. As the circumstances for each grant may vary, it may not always be appropriate to impose a generic set of performance target or clawback mechanism. The Options may or may not contain any performance target or clawback mechanism. The Board considers that it is more beneficial for the Company to have flexibility to determine whether and to what extent any performance targets or clawback mechanism will be attached to each grant in light of the specific circumstances of each Eligible Participant. The Board and the Remuneration Committee will consider all relevant circumstances including the purpose of the grant and the category of the Eligible Participants in determining whether any performance target or clawback mechanism should be imposed. By allowing the Company to impose such performance targets and/or clawback mechanism on a case by case basis, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider the Company will be in a better position to attract, recruit and

  • 12 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

retain such Eligible Participants to serve the Company and to provide incentives to such Eligible Participants in achieving the goals of the Group, which align with the purpose of the Share Option Scheme.

If any performance targets are imposed in the relevant offer letter of the grant of the Options, the Board will have regard to the purpose of the Share Option Scheme in assessing such performance targets, with reference to factors including but not limited to, as and when appropriate, (i) key performance indicators specific to the Eligible Participant, which may vary based on the individual's department and position; (ii) the individual's operational efficiency, punctuality, integrity, honesty or compliance with internal business procedures; and (iii) key performance indicators in respect of the Group as a whole, which may include sales performance (e.g. revenue), operating performance (e.g. profits, operation efficiency), financial performance (e.g. profits, cash flow, earnings, market capitalization, return on equity), corporate sustainability parameter (e.g. timeliness and accuracy in handling customer feedback, team work capabilities, adherence to corporate culture), and such other goals as the Board may determine from time to time. In the case of Eligible Participants other than Directors, the achievement of his/her target would be assessed by his/her manager through the annual performance review process and his/her final rating will be subject to the performance results and approval by the relevant department head. In the case of Eligible Participants who are Directors, his/her final rating will be subject to assessment and approval by the Remuneration Committee (provided that if the proposed Grantee(s) in question is/are member(s) of the Remuneration Committee, such member(s) shall abstain from considering any matters in relation to the assessment of achievement of performance targets with respect to him/herself). Due to the business nature of the Group, it would not be practicable, or possible, to delineate a precise list of performance targets that would apply to all Eligible Participants. The parameters whereby each Eligible Participant is or may be measured will be determined on a case-by-case basis and will be highly dependent on their roles and duties within the Group. The targets may also vary year to year as the business of the Group is evolving and may be impacted by ever changing market conditions, and the Board should be afforded the flexibility to determine appropriate targets when the Options are granted.

Other than the circumstances under which the Options shall lapse automatically as set out in the Share Option Scheme, if any clawback mechanism is imposed, the Board will take into account individual circumstances when devising such mechanism such as the role of the Grantee, the purpose of the grant (for example whether as recognition of past contribution or as incentive to motivate such Grantee to contribute to the Group in the future on an ongoing basis), whether it would be particularly burdensome and complicated to implement the clawback mechanism, whether there are any tax implications etc.

  • 13 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) is of the view that the performance target and clawback mechanism allow more flexibility for the Board in setting the terms and conditions of the Options under particular circumstances of each grant. By facilitating the Board's aim to offer meaningful incentives to attract, recruit and retain quality talents that are valuable to the development of the Group, the performance target and clawback mechanism are considered to be beneficial to the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

Conditions Precedent of the Share Option Scheme

The adoption of the Share Option Scheme is conditional upon:

(a) the passing of resolutions by the Shareholders in relation to the adoption of the Share Option Scheme at the AGM; and
(b) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, any Share on the Stock Exchange which may be issued in respect of all Options to be granted in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Share Option Scheme.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide the Shareholders with all the information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution at the AGM to approve the Repurchase Mandate.

1. LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 244,888,185 Shares. Subject to the passing of the resolution for repurchase of Shares and assuming there is no further issue or repurchase of Shares prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 24,488,818 Shares, representing 10% of the aggregate number of the issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets per Share and/or the earnings per Share. On the other hand, Shares repurchased and held by the Company as treasury Shares may be resold on the market at market prices to raise funds for the Company, or transferred or used for other purposes, subject to compliance with the Listing Rules, the memorandum of association of the Company as amended from time to time, the Articles, and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. Share repurchase will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Any repurchase will be made out of funds which are legally available for the purpose in accordance with the memorandum of association and the Articles and the laws of the Cayman Islands. Such repurchases may only be effected out of profits of the Company or a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or, subject to the Companies Act of the Cayman Islands, out of capital and, in the case of any premium payable on a repurchase, out of the profits of the Company or from sums standing the credit of the share premium account of the Company or, subject to the Companies Act of the Cayman Islands, out of capital.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE

5. GENERAL

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2025 in the event that the Repurchase Mandate were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

Shares repurchased by the Company may be held by the Company as treasury Shares or cancelled as determined by the Directors, depending on the market conditions and the Group's capital management needs at the relevant time of the repurchase. For any treasury Shares deposited with CCASS pending resale on the Stock Exchange, the Company shall (i) procure its broker not to give any instructions to the Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited to vote at general meetings of the Company for the treasury Shares deposited with CCASS; and (ii) in the case of dividends or distributions, withdraw the treasury Shares from CCASS, and either re-register them in its own name as treasury Shares or cancel them, in each case before the record date for the dividends or distributions, or take any other measures to ensure that it will not exercise any shareholders' rights or receive any entitlements which would otherwise be suspended under the applicable laws if those Shares were registered in its own name as treasury Shares.

6. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the previous twelve months up to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

Share Prices
Highest HK$ Lowest HK$
2025
May 4.390 3.600

March 2.900 2.020
April 2.900 1.150
May (up to the Latest Practicable Date) 1.700 0.900

7. UNDERTAKING AND CONFIRMATION

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their close associates, have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company under the Repurchase Mandate if the same is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors will exercise the Repurchase Mandate pursuant to the proposed resolution in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and in accordance with the Articles.

The Company confirms that neither the explanatory statement nor the proposed share repurchase has any usual features.


APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE

8. CORE CONNECTED PERSON

No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

9. TAKEOVERS CODE

If on exercise of the powers of repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, according to the register kept by the Company pursuant to section 336 of the SFO and so far as is known to, or can be ascertained after reasonable enquiry by the Directors, Hong Tai International II LPF is interested in 37,000,850 Shares, representing approximately 15.11% of the issued Shares. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares under the Repurchase Mandate, then the aggregate attributable interest of Hong Tai International II LPF would be increased from approximately 15.11% to approximately 16.79% of the issued Shares. Such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

10. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company has not repurchased any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

APPENDIX III

SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

The following is a summary of the principal terms of the Share Option Scheme proposed to be adopted at the AGM. It does not form part of, nor is it intended to be part of the rules of the Share Option Scheme. The Directors reserve the right at any time prior to the AGM to make such amendments to the Share Option Scheme as they may consider necessary or appropriate provided that such amendments do not conflict with any material aspects with the summary in this Appendix III.

  1. PURPOSE OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

The purpose of the Share Option Scheme is to reward Eligible Participants who have contributed to the Group and to encourage Eligible Participants to work towards enhancing the value of the Company and its Shares for the benefit of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. By granting Options to the Eligible Participants, it recognizes the contribution or future contribution of Eligible Participants to the Group and helps the Group to foster long-term relationship with the Eligible Participants by aligning their interests with that of the Group and Shareholders through them owning a proprietary interest in the Company and becoming future Shareholders, thereby helping the Group to attract, recruit, retain and motivate high-calibre Eligible Participants that are in line with its performance goals and business needs, which maintains or enhances the competitiveness of the Group.

  1. WHO MAY JOIN

The Board may, in its absolute discretion, grant Options to any Eligible Participants, which are the directors and employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including persons who are granted Options under the Share Option Scheme as an inducement to enter into employment contracts with these companies).

When assessing the eligibility of Eligible Participants, the Board will consider factors as it shall consider relevant, including but not limited to, (i) their job positions, responsibilities, duties, work performance and importance of their roles; (ii) their educational and professional qualifications, and knowledge in the industry; (iii) their length of engagement or employment with the Group; (iv) their time commitment, responsibilities or employment conditions according to the prevailing market practice and industry standard; (v) their contribution made or expected to be made to the existing and future business of the Group, and to the growth and development of the Group; (vi) the prevailing market conditions; (vii) local market practice and industry standards and benefits; and (viii) whether granting of an Option is an appropriate incentive, and how an Option (taken together with any performance targets and/or vesting terms) can serve the purpose of the Share Option Scheme with respect to both the proposed Grantee and the long-term growth of the Group. The Board may also utilize the internal assessment system of the Company to assess the Eligible Participant against the criteria(s) set out above and form a view as to whether the relevant criteria(s) have been satisfied.

  • 24 -

APPENDIX III

SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

For the avoidance of doubt, the scope of the Eligible Participants does not include the independent non-executive Directors.

3. ADMINISTRATION AND DURATION

Subject to the Listing Rules, the Share Option Scheme shall be subject to the administration of the Board whose decision as to all matters arising in relation to the Share Option Scheme or its interpretation or effect shall (save as otherwise provided herein) be final and binding on all parties. The Share Option Scheme shall be valid and effective for a period of ten (10) years commencing on the Adoption Date, after which period no further Options shall be offered or granted but the provisions of the Share Option Scheme shall remain in full force and effect in all other respects. Options granted during the life of the Share Option Scheme shall continue to be exercisable in accordance with their terms of grant after the end of the ten (10)-year period.

4. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE

The Subscription Price shall be determined by the Board in its absolute discretion but in any event must be at least the highest of:

(i) the closing price of the Shares as stated in the daily quotations sheets issued by the Stock Exchange on the Grant Date which must be a Business Day;

(ii) the average closing price of the Shares as stated in the daily quotations sheets issued by the Stock Exchange for the five (5) Business Days immediately preceding the Grant Date; and

(iii) the nominal value of the Shares.

5. MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES

The total number of Shares which may be issued in respect of all options and awards to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share schemes of the Company shall not, in aggregate exceed 10% in nominal amount of the aggregate of Shares in issue (excluding Treasury Shares) as at the Adoption Date, i.e. 24,488,818 Shares (the "Scheme Mandate Limit"). Options or awards lapsed in accordance with the terms of the Share Option Scheme and (as the case may be) such other share schemes of the Company will not be regarded as utilized for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit.

  • 25 -

APPENDIX III

SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

The Company may seek approval by its Shareholders in general meeting to "refresh" the Scheme Mandate Limit after three (3) years from the date of Shareholders' approval for the last refreshment (or the adoption of this Share Option Scheme). Any "refreshment" of the Scheme Mandate Limit within any three (3)-year period must be approved by Shareholders subject to the following provisions:

(a) any controlling shareholders of the Company and their associates (or if there is no controlling shareholder, directors (excluding independent non-executive directors) and the chief executive of the Company and their respective associates) must abstain from voting in favour of the relevant resolution at the general meeting; and

The Scheme Mandate Limit as "refreshed" must not exceed 10% of the relevant class of shares in issue (excluding Treasury Shares) as at the date of approval of the refreshed scheme mandate. The Company must send a circular to its Shareholder containing the number of options and awards that were already granted under the existing Scheme Mandate Limit and the reason for the "refreshment".

The Company may seek separate approval by its Shareholders in general meeting for granting options under this Share Option Scheme or awards under any other share schemes of the Company (as the case may be) beyond the Scheme Mandate Limit, provided the options or awards in excess of the limit are granted only to participants specifically identified by the Company before such approval is sought. The Company must send a circular to the Shareholders containing the name of each specified participant who may be granted such options or awards, the number and terms of the options or awards to be granted to each participant, and the purpose of granting options or awards to the specified participants with an explanation as to how the terms of the options or awards serve such purpose. The number and terms of options or awards to be granted to such participant must be fixed before Shareholders' approval. In respect of any Options to be granted, the date of the Board meeting for proposing such grant should be taken as the Grant Date for the purpose of calculating the Subscription Price.

  • 26 -

APPENDIX III

SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

The total number of Shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of the options and awards granted to each Grantee under the Share Option Scheme and any other share schemes of the Company (including both exercised and outstanding Options but excluding any options and awards lapsed in accordance with the terms of the relevant scheme) in any twelve (12)-month period shall not (when aggregated with any Shares subject to options granted during such period under any other share option schemes of the Company other than those options granted pursuant to specific approval by the Shareholders in a general meeting) exceed 1% of the Shares in issue (excluding Treasury Shares) for the time being (the "Individual Limit"). Where any further grant of Options to an Eligible Participant would exceed the Individual Limit, such further grant must be separately approved by Shareholders in general meeting with such Eligible Participant and his/her close associates (or associates if the Eligible Participant is a connected person) abstaining from voting. The Company must send a circular to the Shareholders disclosing the identity of the Eligible Participant in question, the number and terms of the Options to be granted (and Options previously granted to such Eligible Participant in the twelve (12)-month period), the purpose of granting options to the participant, explanation as to how the terms of the Options serve such purpose, and such other information required under the Listing Rules. The number and terms of the Options to be granted must be fixed before such Shareholders' approval. The date of the Board meeting for proposing such further grant should be taken as the Grant Date for the purpose of calculating the Subscription Price of such Options.

6. GRANT OF OPTIONS TO CONNECTED PERSONS

Any grant of Options or awards to a director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of the Company, or any of their respective associates, under the Share Option Scheme or any other share scheme of the Company must be approved by the independent non-executive Directors of the Company (excluding any independent non-executive Director whose associate is the proposed Grantee).

Where any grant of Options or awards to a substantial shareholder of the Company, or any of his/her associates, would result in the Shares issued and to be issued in respect of all Options and awards granted (excluding any options and awards lapsed in accordance with the terms of the Share Option Scheme or any other share scheme of the Company) to such person in the 12 (twelve)-month period up to and including the date of such grant, representing in aggregate over 0.1% of the Shares in issue on the date of such grant (excluding Treasury Shares), such further grant of Options or awards must be approved by the Shareholders in general meeting in the manner set out below.


APPENDIX III

SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

The Company must send a circular to the Shareholders containing all those terms as required under the Listing Rules. The Grantee, his/her associates and all core connected persons of the Company must abstain from voting in favor of the resolution at such general meeting of the Shareholders. Parties that are required to abstain from voting in favor at the general meeting pursuant to Rule 17.04(4) of the Listing Rules may vote against the resolution at the general meeting of the Company, provided that their intention to do so has been stated in the relevant circular to the Shareholders. Any vote taken at the general meeting to approve the grant of such Options must be taken on a poll and comply with the requirements under the Listing Rules. The circular must contain:

(a) details of the number and terms of the Options to be granted to each Eligible Participant, which must be fixed before the Shareholders' meeting. In respect of any Options to be granted, the date of the Board meeting for proposing such further grant should be taken as the Grant Date for the purpose of calculating the Subscription Price;

(b) the views of the independent non-executive Directors (excluding any independent non-executive Director whose associate is the proposed Grantee) as to whether the terms of the grant are fair and reasonable and whether such grant is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and their recommendation to the independent Shareholders as to voting; and

(c) the information required under the Listing Rules and the Stock Exchange from time to time.

Any change in the terms of Options granted to a Grantee who is a Director, chief executive of the Company or substantial Shareholder, or any of their respective associates, must be approved by the Shareholders in the manner as set out above if the initial grant of the Options requires such approval (except where the changes take effect automatically under the existing terms of the Share Option Scheme).

APPENDIX III

SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

7. OFFER AND ACCEPTANCE

An Offer shall be made to an Eligible Participant by letter in such form as the Board may from time to time determine requiring the Eligible Participant to undertake to hold the Option on the terms on which it is to be granted and to be bound by the provisions of the Share Option Scheme and shall remain open for acceptance by the Eligible Participant concerned for a period of twenty-eight (28) days from the Grant Date provided that no such Offer shall be open for acceptance after the expiry of the Option Period or after the Share Option Scheme has been terminated in accordance with the terms hereof or after the Eligible Participant for whom the Offer is made has ceased to be an Eligible Participant.

Any Offer may be accepted in respect of less than the number of Shares in respect of which it is offered provided that it is accepted in respect of a whole board lot for dealing in Shares on the Stock Exchange or an integral multiple thereof. An Offer is deemed to be accepted when the Company receives from the Grantee the relevant offer letter signed by the Grantee specifying the number of Shares in respect of which the Offer is accepted and a remittance to the Company of HK$1.00 as consideration for the grant of Option. Such remittance is not refundable in any circumstances.

8. VESTING SCHEDULE

Save for the circumstances prescribed below, an Option must be held by the Grantee for at least twelve (12) months before the Option can be exercised (the "Vesting Period").

The Vesting Period in respect of Eligible Participant may be less than twelve (12) months from the Grant Date in the following circumstances:

(a) grants of "make-whole" Option(s) to new joiners to replace the share options they forfeited when leaving the previous employers;

(b) grants to an Eligible Participant whose employment is terminated due to death or disability or occurrence of any out of control event;

(c) grants that are made in batches during a year for administrative and compliance reasons, which include 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;

  • 29 -

APPENDIX III

SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

(d) grants of Options with a mixed or accelerated vesting schedule such as where the Options may vest evenly over a period of twelve (12) months;

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

(f) grants of Options with a total vesting and holding period of more than twelve (12) months such as where the Options may vest by several batches with the first batch to vest within twelve (12) months of the Grant Date and the last batch to vest twelve (12) months after the Grant Date.

9. PERFORMANCE TARGETS AND CLAWBACK MECHANISM

Subject to the Listing Rules, the Board may at its absolute discretion when making the offer for the grant of an Option impose any conditions, restrictions or limitations in relation thereto including the Vesting Period and/or the achievement of any performance targets by the Company and/or the Grantee before the Option shall vest, provided that such terms or conditions shall not be inconsistent with any other terms or conditions of the Share Option Scheme. Save as determined by the Board on a case-by-case basis and provided in the offer letter of the grant of the relevant Option at the discretion of the Board, there is no performance target which must be achieved before an Option can be exercised. Save for the clawback mechanism described below, the Share Option Scheme does not prescribe any other clawback mechanism.

  • 30 -

APPENDIX III

SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

If any performance targets are imposed in the relevant offer letter of the grant of the Options, the Board will have regard to the purpose of the Share Option Scheme in assessing such may assess such performance targets, with reference to factors including but not limited to, as and when appropriate, (i) key performance indicators specific to the Eligible Participant, which may vary based on the individual’s department and position; (ii) the individual’s operational efficiency, punctuality, integrity, honesty or compliance with internal business procedures; and (iii) key performance indicators in respect of the Group as a whole, which may include sales performance (e.g. revenue), operating performance (e.g. profits, operation efficiency), financial performance (e.g. profits, cash flow, earnings, market capitalization, return on equity), corporate sustainability parameter (e.g. timeliness and accuracy in handling customer feedback, team work capabilities, adherence to corporate culture) and discipline and responsibility (e.g. punctuality, integrity, honesty or compliance with internal business procedures), and such other goals as the Board may determine from time to time. In the case of Eligible Participants other than directors of the Company, the achievement of his/her target would be assessed by his/her manager through the annual performance review process and his/her final rating will be subject to the performance results and approval by the relevant department head. In the case of Eligible Participants who are directors of the Company, the achievement of his/her target will be subject to assessment and approval by the Remuneration Committee (provided that if the proposed Grantee(s) in question is/are member(s) of the Remuneration Committee, such member(s) shall abstain from considering any matters in relation to the assessment of achievement of performance targets with respect to him/herself). Due to the business nature of the Group, it would not be practicable, or possible, to delineate a precise list of performance targets that would apply to all Eligible Participants. The parameters whereby each Eligible Participant is or may be measured will be determined on a case-by-case basis and will be highly dependent on their roles and duties within the Group. The targets may also vary year to year as the business of the Group is evolving and may be impacted by ever changing market conditions, and the Board should be afforded the flexibility to determine appropriate targets when the Options are granted.

  • 31 -

APPENDIX III

SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

If the Board determines that a Grantee ceases to be an Eligible Participant upon the occurrence of any of the circumstances below:

(a) is guilty of any misconduct which would have justified the termination of his/her contract of employment for cause but which does not become known to the Company until he/she has ceased employment with any member of the Group;

(b) is in breach of any material term of contract of employment (or other contract or agreement related to his/her contract of employment), without limitation, any confidentiality agreement or agreement containing non-competition or non-solicitation restrictions between him/her and any member of the Group; or

then it may, in its absolute discretion, determine that any unexercised options, vested or unvested, held by the Grantee shall immediately lapsed upon the Board resolving to make such determination (whether or not the Grantee has been notified of the determination).

Under this paragraph, the Board may (but is not obliged to) by notice in writing to the Grantee concerned claw back such number of Options (to the extent not being exercised) granted as the Board may consider appropriate. The clawback will occur when the Grantee ceases to be an Eligible Participant. The Options that are clawed back pursuant to this paragraph shall be regarded as lapsed and the Options so clawed back will not be regarded as utilized for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit (including the refreshed limit, as the case may be). For the avoidance of doubt, Options that have been exercised shall not be subject to the clawback mechanism as set out in this paragraph.

10. RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS

An Option shall be personal to the Grantee and shall not be assignable or transferable and no Grantee shall in any way sell, transfer, charge, mortgage, encumber or create any interest in favor of any other person over or in relation to any Option. Any breach of the foregoing by the Grantee shall entitle the Company to cancel any outstanding Option or any part thereof granted to such Grantee to the extent not already exercised without incurring any liability on the part of the Company. The Options do not carry any right to vote in general meeting of the Company, or any right, dividend, transfer or any other rights, including those arising on the liquidation of the Company.
