Source: 2016 Annual Report

As noted from the table above, the increase of the profit of the Group in 2016 were mainly due to the significant growth for wealth and happiness segment of the Group. Revenue from the wealth segment increased from approximately RMB15,615.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2015 to approximately RMB30,469.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2016, representing a growth of approximately 95.1%. The significant increase in the wealth segment was mainly attributable to the insurance segment which increased from approximately RMB14,667.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2015 to approximately RMB27,640.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2016, representing a growth of approximately 88.4%. According to the 2016 Annual Report, the increase in both revenue and profit attributable to owners of the parent of the insurance segment was mainly attributable to the expansion of the insurance segment. The Group’s acquisitions of 100% equity interest in both Meadowbrook Insurance Group, Inc. and Ironshore Inc. which were completed in July and November 2015, respectively and their statements of profit and loss of the whole financial year were consolidated in the year of 2016.

The increase in the profit attributable to owners of the parent of the happiness segment was mainly attributable to the gain on disposal of partial equity interest of Bona Film Group Limited.

1.3 Reasons for the adoption of the Share Award Scheme

On 4 May 2017, the Group resolved to award an aggregate of 5,275,000 Award Shares to 65 Selected Participants, they include (i) Directors; (ii) the Group’s business and functional department heads and backbone employees; (iii) outstanding young talents; and (iv) senior management of the Group’s core affiliated enterprises, by way of (i) issue and allotment of 4,605,200 new Shares pursuant to a specific mandate to be obtained in the AGM; and (ii) 669,800 Award Shares which had lapsed before vesting under the 2015 Award and 2016 Award.

Pursuant to the Letter from the Board and the 2016 Annual Report, the Share Award Scheme forms part of the incentive schemes of the Group and was adopted by the Company on 25 March 2015. The purposes of the Share Award Scheme are (i) to align the interests of the eligible persons with those of the Group through ownership of Shares, dividends and other distributions paid on Shares and/or the increase in value of the Shares; and (ii) to encourage and retain eligible persons to make contributions to the long-term growth and profits of the Group.

Upon our enquiry, the Directors advised that most of the Selected Participants have been with the Group for more than 1 year and each of them have passed their respective performance appraisal or evaluation for the year ended 31 December 2016.

Given the extensive working experience and knowledge of the Selected Participants, the Directors believe the Selected Participates are essential for the development of the Group and will further motivate employees to maximise the Company’s long-term interests, highlight the principle of performance-based awards and stimulate the rapid growth of young talents so as to create more value for the Group.

Despite share award scheme is commonly and widely adopted by listed companies to incentive and/or reward the employees. We have further discussed with the management of the Company regarding the possibility of considering other methods of providing incentive to the Selected Participants, including but not limited to performance bonus, the Directors consider the 2017 Award to be the most appropriate given that, as opposed to the other alternatives, the 2017 Award will enable the Company to prevent cash outflow while allowing added incentives to the Selected Participants to make contribution to the Group. In addition, the economic benefits of the 2017 Award are dependent on the improvement in the performances of the Group and hence the Selected Participants can only benefit when all the Shareholders are also in a position to benefit. The Directors are of the view that the 2017 Award will further align the interests of the Selected Participants with the Company together with the Shareholders.

In view of the foregoing reasons for and possible benefits of the Award to the Selected Participants, we are of the opinion that the Award to the Selected Participants is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

2. Principal terms of the Award

The grant of the 4,605,200 New Award Shares to the Selected Participants shall be subject to (a) the grant of the listing approval by the Stock Exchange in respect of the New Award Shares; and (b) the approval by the Independent Shareholders at the EGM in respect of the issue and allotment of the New Award Shares and the Specific Mandate.

3 May 2020 34%

As at each of the above vesting dates, the Company, at its discretion, is entitled to adjust the actual amount of Award Shares that can be vested to the respective Selected Participants according to their performance. We are of the view that the vesting period of three years would further strengthen the effect of the 2017 Award as an incentive scheme to encourage and retain eligible persons to make contributions to the long-term growth and profits of the Group.

(b) Forfeiture of the Award Shares under the 2017 Award

According to the 2017 Award, any outstanding Award Shares and related income derived from the Award Shares not yet vested shall be immediately forfeited if the Selected Participant ceases to be an eligible person under the Share Award Scheme by reasons of, among others, (i) termination of the Selected Participant’s employment or early termination of the contractual engagement with the Group by reasons of misconduct or otherwise pursuant to law or employment or engagement contract; (ii) termination of the Selected Participant’s employment or contractual engagement with the Group by reason of redundancy or unsatisfactory performance; (iii) resignation of the Selected Participant; and (iv) winding-up of any member of the Group in which the Selected Participant is employed or is contractually engaged, unless the Board or its delegate(s) determines otherwise at their sole discretion.
