Each of the proposed Grant to a Director has been approved by the Independent Directors in compliance with Rule 17.04(1) of the Listing Rules.

Please refer to Appendix I and II to this circular for full details of the key information contained in this section including but not limited to the scope of eligible Participants, the proposed Grant, the number of the Share Options proposed to be granted to each Participant, Validity Period, the performance assessment indicators of the Company and the Participants which the exercise of the Share Options is conditional upon, the assessment methods, the Exercise Price and adjustments, the Exercise Period and circumstances under which the Share Options shall lapse.
B. Purpose of the implementation of the Scheme and scope of the Participants
For the purpose of further improving the corporate governance structure of the Company, establishing and enhancing the long-term incentive and constraint mechanism of the Company, attracting and retaining talents, fully mobilizing the proactiveness and creativities of the senior and mid-level management and technical personnel of the Company, effectively promoting the cohesiveness of the core team and the core competitiveness of the enterprise, effectively aligning the interests of Shareholders, the Company and the core management team, enabling all parties to focus on the long-term development of the Company, and ensuring the achievements of the development strategies and operation objectives of the Company, the Scheme is made on the premise of fully protecting the interests of Shareholders and on the principle of income equivalent to contribution, and in accordance with the requirements under the relevant laws, regulations and normative documents including the Company Law, the Securities Law and the Administrative Measures, as well as the requirements under the Articles of Association.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Company adopted the Restricted A Share Incentive Scheme for 2020 (the “ Restricted A Share Incentive Scheme ”) at its annual general meeting in June 2020. The scope of participants under the A Share Option Incentive Scheme are broader than that of the Restricted A Share Incentive Scheme. Specifically, senior and mid-level management and technical staff at the Group’s operation level including its factories in a total of 289 staffs are covered by the first grant of A Share Option Incentive Scheme, while senior and mid-level management and technical staff within the core team of the Group in a total of 18 staffs were covered by the Restricted A Share Incentive Scheme. In addition, compared with the Restricted A Share Incentive Scheme where the participants are required to have adequate financial resources to pay for the restricted A Shares granted to them at the grant price, participants under the A Share Option Incentive Scheme are only required to pay for the exercise price of the A Shares upon exercise of the A Share Options granted to them. As the target participants under the A Share Option Incentive Scheme are different from that of the Restricted A Share Incentive Scheme, the ultimate staff incentive and talents retaining purposes achieved under these two incentive schemes are different. There is no overlapping participant under the A Share Option Incentive Scheme and the Restricted A Share Incentive Scheme.
Please refer to Appendix III to this circular for details of the list of the 289 Participants under the first grant of the Scheme.
C. Source and number of the underlying shares in respect of the Share Options to be granted
The source of the underlying shares of the Scheme shall be A Shares of the Company to be directly issued to the Participants. Only new A Shares will be issued upon exercise of the Share Options proposed to be granted under the Scheme, and no H Shares can be issued under the A Share Option Incentive Scheme. The proposed adoption of the A Shares to be granted under the A Share Option Incentive Scheme will be made in accordance with the specific mandate sought at the 2021 Third EGM and the 2021 Third Class Meetings, and will take effect upon the approval by Shareholders at the 2021 Third EGM and the 2021 Third Class Meetings.
The number of Share Options proposed to be granted under the Scheme is 5,947,858, representing approximately 0.28% of the total issued share capital of 2,146,893,254 Shares of the Company as at the date of announcement of the draft Scheme, among which, the first grant of Share Options consists of 5,353,072 shares (the “ First Grant of Share Options ”), representing approximately 0.25% of the total issued share capital of 2,146,893,254 Shares of the Company as at the date of announcement of the draft Scheme and 90% of the total number of Share Options under the Grant; the reserved share options consist of 594,786 shares (the “ Reserved Share Options ”), representing approximately 0.03% of the total issued share capital of 2,146,893,254 Shares of the Company as at the date of announcement of the draft Scheme and 10% of the total number of Share Options under the Grant.
Each Share Option granted under the Scheme is entitled to purchase one A Share of the Company at the Exercise Price during the Exercise Period upon the fulfillment of vesting conditions and arrangement. The Share Options are granted to the Participants at nil consideration. The Share Options granted to the Participants shall not be transferred, used for guarantee or repayment of debts during the Vesting Period. Share Options are not entitled with voting rights, and do not involve in the distribution of bonus share and dividends before being exercised. Unless otherwise provided by the lock-up provisions under the Scheme, the Participants shall be entitled to all the rights of ordinary Shareholders and perform related obligations in respect of their A Shares by exercising Share Options in accordance with laws.

E. Performance targets on which the exercise of the Share Options Granted are conditional
Pursuant to the A Share Option Incentive Scheme, the exercise of Share Options by the Participants is conditional upon the fulfillment of certain performance targets by the Company and the Participants. The performance assessment at the Company level will take into account the growth rate on the audited consolidated operating revenue of the assessment year. The individual assessment of Participants shall be organized and implemented in accordance with the relevant Company’s performance assessment systems. According to the annual performance assessment results, the individual performance assessment results are divided into two levels. On the premise that the Company’s performance targets are achieved, if the individual performance assessment results of such Participant in the previous year is qualified, the Participant can exercise all the Share Options for such year of assessment; if the individual performance assessment results of such Participant in the previous year is unqualified, all Share Options of the Participants which are eligible for exercise in the year of assessment shall not be exercised. The Share Options which are not exercised by the Participants shall be canceled by the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
F. Adjustment to the Exercise Price and number of A Shares subject to Share Options
In the event of dividend distribution, capitalization of capital reserves, bonus issue, share subdivision, rights issue or share consolidation of the Company during the period from the date of announcement of the Scheme to the completion of exercise of the Share Options by the Participants, the Exercise Price of Share Options and/or the number of A Shares subject to Share Options to be granted under the Grant should be adjusted accordingly, but no adjustments may be made to the extent that the Exercise Price would be lower than the nominal value of the shares. The details of such adjustments are set out in the section headed “Methods of and procedures for adjustment of the Scheme” in Appendix I to this circular.
The Company further confirms that it will comply with the relevant requirements of the Listing Rules and supplementary guidance in all future adjustments to be made to the Exercise Price and/or the number of A Shares subject to Share Options to be granted under the Grant.
G. Conditions of the A Share Option Incentive Scheme
The proposed A Share Option Incentive Scheme has been approved by the Directors at the Board meetings held on 17 August 2021 and 12 October 2021. The proposed A Share Option Incentive Scheme shall take effect upon Shareholders’ approval at the 2021 Third EGM and the 2021 Third Class Meetings.
H. Implications under the Listing Rules
The A Share Option Incentive Scheme constitutes a share option scheme under Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules. Pursuant to the requirements of Rule 14A.92(3)(a) of the Listing Rules, issue of new securities to connected persons of the Company is fully exempted from the requirements of approval by Shareholders, annual review, announcement and circular under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. None of the participants of the A Share Option Incentive Scheme is a Director or Supervisor of the Company. Therefore, none of the Directors is required to abstain from voting on the board resolution to approve the proposed A Share Option Incentive Scheme and/or the proposed Grant to themselves. None of the Shareholders who is required to abstain from voting under the Listing Rules controls or is entitled to exercise control over the voting right in respect of his shares in the Company.
I. Waivers from Strict Compliance with the Listing Rules
As the Scheme involves the issuance of new A Shares by the Company, Chapter 17 and certain provisions under the Listing Rules are therefore applicable to the Scheme, and the relevant PRC laws and regulations relating to the establishment of the Scheme and the Grant of Share Options are also applicable. Therefore, the Company has complied with the requirements of the relevant PRC laws and regulations as well as the Listing Rules as far as possible when preparing the terms of the Scheme, and will apply to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for certain waivers from strict compliance with the requirements for Exercise Price and its adjustment under the Rule 17.03 of the Listing Rules.
– 11 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
(1) Waiver from strict compliance with Note (1) to Rule 17.03(9) of the Listing Rules regarding the basis of determination of the Exercise Price
Note (1) to Rule 17.03(9) of the Listing Rules requires that the exercise price of relevant share options must be at least the higher of (i) the closing price of the securities on the date of granting the options; and (ii) the average closing price of the securities for the five business days immediately preceding the date of granting the options. However, the relevant PRC laws and regulations require that the exercise price of A Share Option Incentive Scheme shall be the highest of: (i) the average trading price of the A Shares on the trading day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the A Share Option Incentive Scheme; and (ii) one of the average trading price of the A Shares for the 20/60/120 trading days immediately preceding the date of announcement of the A Share Option Incentive Scheme. Rule 19A.39C of the Listing Rules further provides that the Hong Kong Stock Exchange may waive the exercise price requirement under Note 1 to rule 17.03(9) for a share option scheme of a PRC issuer dually listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and a PRC stock exchange, provided that: (i) the scheme involves only shares listed on the PRC stock exchange; and (ii) the scheme contains provisions to ensure that the exercise price of the options is no less than the prevailing market price of the relevant shares on the PRC stock exchange at the time of grant of the options.
Since the Share Options proposed to be granted under the Scheme involve A Shares only, the Exercise Price has been set at no less than the prevailing market price of the A Shares traded on the SSE on 17 August 2021, the date of the first Board meeting approving the adoption of the Scheme, and the Exercise Price must be determined based on the relevant PRC laws and regulations, the Company has applied to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for and has been granted a waiver from strict compliance with Note (1) to Rule 17.03(9) of the Listing Rules in respect of the Exercise Price of the Share Options proposed to be granted under the Scheme.
For details of the Exercise Price and the basis of determination, please refer to the section headed “Proposed Grant Under the A Share Option Incentive Scheme–Exercise Price and basis of determination” in Appendix I to this circular.
(2) Waiver from strict compliance with Rule 17.03(13) of the Listing Rules regarding the adjustment of Exercise Price in the event of dividend distribution
Rule 17.03(13) of the Listing Rules required the scheme document must include a provision for adjustment of the exercise price or the number of securities subject to options already granted and to the scheme in the event of capitalization issue, rights issue, sub-division or consolidation of shares or reduction of capital.
On the basis of the following factors, the Company has applied to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for and has been granted a waiver from strict compliance with Rule 17.03(13) of the Listing Rules regarding the adjustment of Exercise Price in the event of dividend distribution: (i) the proposed terms of the Scheme, including the provision of adjustment of Exercise Price in the event of dividend distribution, are prepared in accordance with the relevant requirements under the PRC laws and regulations and the requirements of the relevant regulatory authorities in the PRC; (ii) the number of A Share Options proposed to be
– 12 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
granted under the Scheme is 5,947,858, representing approximately 0.28% of the total issued share capital of the Company and approximately 0.35% of the total issued A Share capital of the Company as at the date of announcement of the draft Scheme. The dilutive impact of the Scheme is minimal. Further, according to the relevant PRC laws and regulations, the issue price of the Shares shall not be below the nominal value of the Shares and therefore, the A Shares shall not be issued at less than its nominal value of RMB0.25 per A Share pursuant to the exercise of the Share Options; and (iii) the A Shares, being the underlying Shares of the Share Options, have been trading at a premium over the H Shares. Taking into account the deviation in the trading prices of the A Shares and H Shares, the dilutive impact on the H Share Shareholders as a result of issue of new A Shares pursuant to the exercise of Share Options is negligible, the adjusted Exercise Price of the Share Options in the event of dividend distribution is expected to remain higher than the then prevailing trading price of the H Shares.
For details of the adjustment of Exercise Price in the event of dividend distribution, please refer to the section headed “Proposed Adoption of the A Share Option Incentive Scheme–Methods of and procedures for adjustment of the Scheme” in Appendix I to this circular.
J. Solicitation of votes by Independent Directors
Pursuant to the Administrative Measures, independent directors of a company whose securities are listed on the SSE or the Shenzhen Stock Exchange should solicit votes publicly from its shareholders on resolutions in relation to the adoption of a share incentive scheme. The purpose of such arrangement is to encourage the securities holders to participate in the voting on the resolutions on the adoption of share incentive schemes by providing them with an additional way of participation in the meeting(s) of such securities holders. As the A Shares are listed and traded on the SSE, the Independent Directors have nominated Ms. Xu Pan to solicit the Shareholders’ votes on their behalf on all special resolutions in relation to the Scheme to be considered at the 2021 Third EGM and the 2021 Third Class Meetings. Ms. Xu Pan has for the abovementioned purpose prepared the proxy forms for appointing herself as a proxy at the 2021 Third EGM and the 2021 Third H Shareholders’ Class Meeting, respectively. Such proxy forms specific to the Independent Directors’ solicitation of votes (the “ ID Proxy Forms ”) were despatched together with the notices of the 2021 Third EGM and the 2021 Third H Shareholders’ Class Meeting (the “ Meeting Notices ”), and the regular proxy forms (which, together with the ID Proxy Forms, the “ Proxy Forms ”) in respect of such meetings by the Company and also published and made available for downloading on the websites of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at www.hkex.com.hk.

A SHARE OPTION INCENTIVE SCHEME (REVISED VERSION)
APPENDIX I
B. EXPECTED IMPACT OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SHARE OPTIONS ON OPERATING PERFORMANCE IN EACH PERIOD
The Company granted 5,353,072 Share Options to the Participants under the First Grant of Share Options. The fair value of the Share Options on the date of Grant was estimated based on the projected fair value of Share Options on the date of Grant which was calculated according to the closing price of the trading day prior to the publication of the draft. The total fair value of the equity instruments granted this time is estimated to be RMB31,781,200 (as adjusted from the total fair value of the equity instruments estimation of RMB60,332,200 as set out in the Announcement). The total fair value as the Company’s incentive cost of the Scheme will be recognized in stages during the implementation of the Scheme in accordance with the exercise percentage, and will be charged to the recurring profit or loss. According to the requirements of the relevant accounting standards, the specific amount shall be subject to the fair value of the Shares calculated on the actual Date of Grant. Assuming that the Company grants Share Options on or before October 2021 where all the granted Participants meet the Exercise Conditions specified in the Scheme and have exercised during respective Exercise Periods, the amortization of Share Options costs from 2021 to 2026 is as follows:
Unit: 10’000
| Amortized costs of | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| the Share Options | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 | 2026 |
| 3,178.12 | 185.69 | 1,073.04 | 827.31 | 586.08 | 354.46 | 151.54 |
Notes:
-
The above costs are projected costs related to the Grant Price, Grant Date, closing price on Grant Date, number of grants and estimate of the largest number of exercisable equity instruments;
-
Shareholders are reminded to be aware of the possible dilutive effect of the above-mentioned share-based payments;
-
The final impact of the above amortization costs projections on the Company’s operating results is subject to the audit report issued by the accountant;
-
Any difference in the mantissa of the sum of the totals and the breakdown in the table above, if any, is due to rounding.
The costs of the Scheme shall be charged to the costs and expenses. Based on the current information, the Company estimates that without considering the positive effect of the Scheme on the Company’s performance, the amortization of the costs of the Scheme will have an impact on the net profit each year within the Validity Period, but the impact is not significant. Taking into account the positive effect of the Scheme on the Company’s operation and development, which stimulates the enthusiasm of management and business teams, improves operating efficiency, and reduces operating costs, the performance improvement of the Company brought by the Scheme will be higher than the increase in costs caused by it.
