AND
NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this circular is to provide the Shareholders with information in respect of the resolution to be proposed at the EGM for the proposed adoption of the 2025 H Share RSU Scheme of Fosun Pharma.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
PROPOSED ADOPTION OF THE 2025 H SHARE RSU SCHEME
Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 24 August 2025 in relation to, among other things, the proposed adoption of the 2025 A Share Option Scheme and 2025 H Share RSU Scheme.
On 22 August 2025, the Fosun Pharma Board resolved to approve the proposed adoption of the A Share Option Scheme and the H Share RSU Scheme. According to the relevant PRC laws and regulations and/or the Hong Kong Listing Rules, the adoption of the A Share Option Scheme and the H Share RSU Scheme is subject to the consideration and approval by the Fosun Pharma Shareholders at the general meeting of Fosun Pharma. Since Fosun Pharma constitutes a principal subsidiary of the Company for the purpose of Chapter 17 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, the adoption of the H Share RSU Scheme is also subject to the consideration and approval by the Shareholders at the general meeting of the Company.
Principal Terms of the H Share RSU Scheme
The principal terms of the H Share RSU Scheme are summarized below:
1. Purpose of the H Share RSU Scheme
In order to further improve the corporate governance structure, establish and enhance the long-term incentive mechanism of the Fosun Pharma Group, attract and retain outstanding talent, fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the executive directors, employee director and senior management personnel of Fosun Pharma and employees of the Fosun Pharma Group, and effectively align the interests of the Fosun Pharma Shareholders, corporate(s) and the Fosun Pharma Group’s core team personnel to focus on and work collectively for the long-term development of the Fosun Pharma Group, the H Share RSU Scheme is formulated on the premise of sufficiently protecting the interests of the Fosun Pharma Shareholders and in accordance with the requirements under the Applicable Laws and the Fosun Pharma Articles.
2. Conditions
The H Share RSU Scheme shall take effect subject to and is conditional upon the passing of the necessary resolution(s) by the Fosun Pharma Shareholders in general meeting of Fosun Pharma and the obtaining of any other requisite approval(s) (or waiver(s), as the case may be) as required under the Applicable Laws (including the Hong Kong Listing Rules) and the Fosun Pharma Articles.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
3. Duration
Subject to paragraphs 18 and 19, the H Share RSU Scheme shall be valid and effective for the Scheme Period, after which no further RSUs may be granted under the H Share RSU Scheme, but the provisions of the H Share RSU Scheme shall in all other respects remain in full force and effect to the extent necessary to give effect as to the administration of RSUs granted prior thereto or otherwise as may be required in accordance with the provisions of the H Share RSU Scheme. Subject always to the terms of the relevant grant, RSUs granted prior to the end of the Scheme Period but not yet vested shall continue to be valid in accordance with the H Share RSU Scheme.
4. Administration
4.1 The H Share RSU Scheme shall be subject to the administration of the Fosun Pharma Board or the Scheme Administrator in accordance with the H Share RSU Scheme and, where applicable, the Trust Deed. A decision of the Fosun Pharma Board or the Scheme Administrator shall be final and binding on all persons affected thereby.
4.2 The authority to administer the H Share RSU Scheme (whether in whole or in part) may be delegated by the Fosun Pharma Board to the Scheme Administrator at the sole discretion of the Fosun Pharma Board, provided that nothing in the H Share RSU Scheme shall prejudice the Fosun Pharma Board's power to revoke (in whole or in part) such delegation, at any time or derogate from the discretion rested with the Fosun Pharma Board or the Scheme Administrator (as the case may be) as contemplated in paragraph 4.1.
4.3 Unless explicitly contrary to rules under the H Share RSU Scheme or Applicable Laws, the Fosun Pharma Board can make determinations in its administration of the H Share RSU Scheme, and where such authority is delegated to a Scheme Administrator, the Scheme Administrator shall enjoy the same absolute discretion. Neither the Fosun Pharma Board nor the Scheme Administrator shall be bound to give any reason therefor in connection with their exercise of such discretion.
5. Eligible Employees
5.1 The Fosun Pharma Board or the Scheme Administrator may, from time to time, select any Eligible Employee to be an H Share RSU Grantee and, subject to paragraph 6, grant RSUs to such H Share RSU Grantee during the Scheme Period. The H Share RSU Grantees shall be determined in accordance with the Applicable Laws and the Fosun Pharma Articles, together with the actual situation of the Fosun Pharma Group. The nature, amount, terms and conditions of any such RSUs so granted shall be determined by the Fosun Pharma Board or the Scheme Administrator in its sole and absolute discretion, subject to rules of the H Share RSU Scheme.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
5.2 Eligible Employees shall include the executive directors, employee director and senior management of Fosun Pharma, the mid-level management of the Fosun Pharma Group, and other employees of the Fosun Pharma Group whom the Fosun Pharma Board considers appropriate to be incentivized. The basis of eligibility of any Eligible Employee shall be determined by the Fosun Pharma Board or the Scheme Administrator based on the Eligible Employee’s role and position within the Fosun Pharma Group, as well as the Eligible Employee’s contribution to the overall business performance and sustainable development of the Fosun Pharma Group.
5.3 For the avoidance of doubt, Eligible Employees shall not include any (i) independent non-executive director of Fosun Pharma, or (ii) shareholder or actual controller of Fosun Pharma and his/her spouse, parents and children where any of the aforesaid individually or collectively holds more than 5% of the Fosun Pharma Shares.

6. Grant of RSUs
6.1 Fosun Pharma shall, in respect of the offer of grant of each RSU (the “H Share RSU Grant”) and within a reasonable period following the H Share RSU Grant Date, issue an instrument to each H Share RSU Grantee in such form as the Fosun Pharma Board or the Scheme Administrator may from time to time determine, which may specify the number of RSUs, the H Share RSU Grant Price (if any), the H Share RSU Vesting Price, the H Share RSU Vesting Period, the vesting conditions, the date by which the grant must be accepted, any circumstances where Fosun Pharma may exercise its right to clawback the RSUs granted and such other details as the Fosun Pharma Board or the Scheme Administrator may consider necessary, and requiring the H Share RSU Grantee to undertake to be bound by the terms and provisions of the H Share RSU Scheme and irrevocably give the undertakings deemed to be given by the H Share RSU Grantee under the H Share RSU Scheme (a “H Share RSU Grant Instrument”).
6.2 The Fosun Pharma Board or the Scheme Administrator may determine, subject to provisions of the rules of the H Share RSU Scheme, the Listing Rules and the Fosun Pharma Articles, the terms of an H Share RSU Grant that is specified in the H Share RSU Grant Instrument, including (without limitation), H Share RSU Grant Price (if any) on acceptance of an H Share RSU Grant, the method of payment and the period(s) within which any such payments must be made.

(a) Performance appraisal at the Fosun Pharma Group level
Under the H Share RSU Scheme, the financial performance indicators of the Fosun Pharma Group shall be appraised on an annual basis, and the appraisal shall be made once in each financial year. The two sub-indicators, i.e. "net profit attributable to the parent (歸母淨利潤)" $^{Note 1}$ and "revenue from Innovative Drugs (創新藥品收入)" $^{Note 2}$ , of each appraisal year shall be assessed to determine the aggregate performance appraisal indicator score at the Fosun Pharma Group level (X) based on the scores and weights of each sub-indicator in order to further calculate the ratio for the vesting of the RSUs (M) for the corresponding year, the details of which are set out below:
(i) The aggregate performance appraisal indicator score at the Fosun Pharma Group level $(\mathrm{X}) = \Sigma$ the score of each sub-indicator $\times$ the corresponding weight.
Details of the performance appraisal indicators at the Fosun Pharma Group level applicable to the vesting of the RSUs under the H Share RSU First Grant are as follows:
Unit: RMB100 million
| Appraisal indicator | Weight | 2025 target value | 2026 target value | 2027 target value | Scoring standard for each sub-indicator (maximum score =100) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Net profit attributable to the parentNote 1 | 60% | 33.2 | 39.6 | 47.7 | The score of each sub-indicator = |
| Revenue from Innovative DrugsNote 2 | 40% | 93.6 | 112.3 | 134.8 | (actual value/target value) × 100 |
Note 1: "Net profit attributable to the parent" refers to net profit attributable to equity holders of the company as set out in the audited financial report of the Fosun Pharma Group for the relevant financial year prepared in accordance with the China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, after excluding the impact of share-based payment expenses of the H Share RSU Scheme and other share incentive schemes of Fosun Pharma (if any).
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Note 2: “Innovative Drugs” mainly include innovative drugs, biosimilars, improved new drugs and other drugs with high technological barriers formed through technological innovation. “Revenue from Innovative Drugs” shall be determined based on the data calculated in accordance with the China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises as set out in the annual report of the Fosun Pharma Group for the corresponding appraisal year.
In the event of the H Share RSU Reserved Grant taking place in 2025, the years and specific indicators of the performance appraisal at the Fosun Pharma Group level applicable to the vesting of such RSUs shall be the same as those of the H Share RSU First Grant. In the event of the H Share RSU Reserved Grant taking place in 2026, the years of the performance appraisal at the Fosun Pharma Group level applicable to the vesting of such RSUs shall be the two financial years of 2026 and 2027, and the appraisal shall be conducted once in each financial year, and details of the performance appraisal indicators at the Fosun Pharma Group level applicable to the vesting of such RSUs are as follows:
Unit: RMB100 million
| Appraisal indicator | Weight | 2026 target value | 2027 target value | Scoring standard for each sub-indicator (maximum score =100) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Net profit attributable to the parent^{Note 1} | 60% | 39.6 | 47.7 | The score of each sub-indicator = (actual value/target value) × 100 |
| Revenue from Innovative Drugs^{Note 2} | 40% | 112.3 | 134.8 |
Note 1: “Net profit attributable to the parent” refers to net profit attributable to equity holders of the company as set out in the audited financial report of the Fosun Pharma Group for the relevant financial year prepared in accordance with the China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, after excluding the impact of share-based payment expenses of the H Share RSU Scheme and other share incentive schemes of Fosun Pharma (if any).
Note 2: “Innovative Drugs” mainly include innovative drugs, biosimilars, improved new drugs and other drugs with high technological barriers formed through technological innovation. “Revenue from Innovative Drugs” shall be determined based on the data calculated in accordance with the China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises as set out in the annual report of the Fosun Pharma Group for the corresponding appraisal year.
With respect to any appraisal year, if the aggregate performance appraisal indicator score at the Fosun Pharma Group level (X) does not reach 80 points, all corresponding unvested RSUs granted to the H Share RSU Grantees for such appraisal year shall lapse and shall not vest in the H Share RSU Grantees.
- 23 -
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
(ii) The relationship between the aggregate performance appraisal indicator score at the Fosun Pharma Group level (X) and the vesting ratio (M) for the corresponding year is set out below:
| Range of the aggregate performance appraisal indicator score at the Fosun Pharma Group level (X) | Vesting ratio (M)* |
|---|---|
| X < 80 points | 0 |
| 80 points ≤ X < 85 points | 70% |
| 85 points ≤ X < 90 points | 80% |
| 90 points ≤ X < 95 points | 90% |
| 95 points ≤ X ≤ 100 points | X% |
- If the number of RSUs that can be vested to an H Share RSU Grantee is not an integer due to the vesting ratio (M), it will be rounded to the nearest integer.
(b) Performance appraisal at the individual level
Where the performance targets at the Fosun Pharma Group level have been achieved, the RSUs shall only vest if the relevant H Share RSU Grantee has achieved the benchmark of “Target Achieved” or above in his or her performance appraisal at the individual level in the corresponding appraisal year in accordance with the relevant management system of the Fosun Pharma Group in respect of remuneration and performance appraisal, otherwise, all unvested RSUs granted to him or her for the corresponding appraisal year shall lapse and shall not vest in the H Share RSU Grantee.

12.4 Fosun Pharma may seek separate approval by the Fosun Pharma Shareholders in general meeting for granting RSUs beyond the H Share Scheme Mandate Limit (including any refreshed limit, where applicable), provided that the RSUs in excess of the H Share Scheme Mandate Limit are granted only to Eligible Employees specifically identified by Fosun Pharma before such approval is sought and subject to compliance with other relevant requirements prescribed under the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

12.6 Any grant of RSUs to any director, chief executive (within the meaning of the Hong Kong Listing Rules) or substantial shareholder of Fosun Pharma or any of their respective associates shall be subject to the prior approval of the independent non-executive directors of Fosun Pharma (excluding any independent non-executive director of Fosun Pharma who is a proposed recipient of the grant of RSUs). Furthermore,
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
(a) where any grant of RSUs to any director (other than an independent non-executive director) or chief executive (within the meaning of the Hong Kong Listing Rules) of Fosun Pharma or any of their respective associates would result in the Fosun Pharma Shares issued (and to be issued) and transferred (and to be transferred) out of treasury in respect of all awards granted under all share scheme(s) of Fosun Pharma (excluding awards lapsed in accordance with the relevant scheme rules) to such person in the 12-month period up to and including the date of such grant representing in aggregate over 0.1% of the total number of H Shares in issue (excluding any treasury shares); or
(b) where any grant of RSUs to (i) any substantial shareholder of Fosun Pharma or any of his or her associates or (ii) any associates of an independent non-executive director of Fosun Pharma would result in the Fosun Pharma Shares issued (and to be issued) and transferred (and to be transferred) out of treasury in respect of all options and awards granted under all share scheme(s) of Fosun Pharma (excluding options or awards lapsed in accordance with the relevant scheme rules) to such person in the 12-month period up to and including the date of such grant representing in aggregate over 0.1% of the total number of H Shares in issue (excluding any treasury shares),
such further grant of RSUs must be approved by the Fosun Pharma Shareholders in general meeting in the manner required under the Hong Kong Listing Rules and subject to the other requirements set out in the Hong Kong Listing Rules and other Applicable Laws.
13. Clawback Mechanism
Subject to otherwise provided under the H Share RSU Scheme, the Fosun Pharma Board or the Scheme Administrator may, at its sole discretion, determine the clawback mechanism of any RSU or the extension of the vesting period of an RSU, if any of the following events (among others) occurs, regardless of whether such event is due to the action (or omission) of any H Share RSU Grantee:
(a) there is a material misstatement in the audited financial statements of Fosun Pharma that requires a restatement;
(b) the Fosun Pharma Board or the Scheme Administrator is of the opinion that there occur any circumstances that show or lead to any of the prescribed performance targets having been assessed or calculated in a materially inaccurate manner;
(c) in the reasonable opinion of the Fosun Pharma Board or the Scheme Administrator, an H Share RSU Grantee has violated the terms of the H Share RSU Scheme or the terms of the grant of RSU(s) as set out in the H Share RSU Grant Instrument; or
(d) where Fosun Pharma is required to exercise a clawback in accordance with the Applicable Laws (including without limitation the Listing Rules) and/or pursuant to a request from any regulatory authority (including without limitation the Hong Kong Stock Exchange).
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Under the above circumstances, the Fosun Pharma Board or the Scheme Administrator may (but is not obliged to) by notice in writing to the H Share RSU Grantee concerned clawback such number of RSUs (to the extent not being vested) granted as the Fosun Pharma Board or the Scheme Administrator may consider appropriate. The RSUs that are clawed back pursuant to this paragraph shall be regarded as lapsed and the RSUs so clawed back will not be regarded as utilized for the purpose of calculating the available H Share Scheme Mandate Limit (including any refreshed limit, where applicable).
14. Non-transferability of RSUs
Any RSU granted under the H Share RSU Scheme shall be personal to the H Share RSU Grantee to whom it is made and shall not be assignable or transferable, and no H Share RSU Grantee may make any attempt to or take any action to sell, transfer, assign, charge, mortgage, encumber, hedge or create any interest in favour of any person over or in relation to any RSUs or interests or benefits pursuant to the RSUs.
15. Alterations in Share Capital
15.1 Where there is any alteration in the capital structure of Fosun Pharma by way of a subdivision, consolidation or reduction of the share capital of Fosun Pharma, a capitalization issue or bonus issue or a rights issue or open offer (other than an alteration in Fosun Pharma's capital structure as a result of an issue of H Shares as consideration in a transaction to which Fosun Pharma is a party), the Fosun Pharma Board or the Scheme Administrator shall make such corresponding adjustments (if any) to reflect such changes with respect to:
(a) the number of Restricted H Shares underlying the RSUs so far as unvested; and/or
(b) the H Share RSU Vesting Price for the Restricted H Shares underlying the RSUs so far as unvested,
and the Fosun Pharma Auditors or an independent financial advisor engaged by Fosun Pharma for such purpose shall certify in writing that such adjustments satisfy the applicable requirements of the Hong Kong Listing Rules and are, in their opinion, fair and reasonable generally or as regards any particular H Share RSU Grantee, provided that (i) any such adjustments should give each H Share RSU Grantee the same proportion of the equity capital of Fosun Pharma (rounded to the nearest whole share) as that to which that H Share RSU Grantee was previously entitled prior to such adjustments; (ii) any such adjustment shall be made in accordance with the provisions as stipulated under Chapter 17 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules and relevant guidance and interpretation of the Hong Kong Listing Rules issued by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange from time to time; and (iii) no such adjustments shall be made which would result in an H Share being issued or transferred at less than its nominal value (if any).
- 33 -
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Subject to the above principles and certification procedures, and any further or updated guidance or interpretation of the Hong Kong Listing Rules issued by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange from time to time, Fosun Pharma shall follow the method of adjustment as set out in Appendix 1 to the Frequently Asked Questions FAQ13 issued by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange which is replicated below:
(1) Capitalization Issue, Bonus Issue, Rights Issue or Open Offer of Fosun Pharma Shares
Adjustments shall follow the following formula:
New Number of RSUs = Existing Number of RSUs × F
New H Share RSU Vesting Price = Existing H Share RSU Vesting Price × $\frac{1}{F}$
Where:
$$
F = \frac{\text{CUM}}{\text{TEEP}}
$$
CUM = Closing price as shown in daily quotations sheet of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on the last trading day before going ex-entitlement to the offer (the cum-rights price)
TEEP (Theoretical Ex-Entitlement Price) = $\frac{\text{CUM} + [\text{M} \times \text{R}]}{1 + \text{M}}$
M = Entitlement per existing Fosun Pharma Share
R = Subscription price for the capitalization issue, bonus issue, rights issue or open offer (as the case may be)
(2) Sub-division, Consolidation or Reduction of Share Capital
Adjustments shall follow the following formula:
New Number of RSUs = Existing Number of RSUs × F
New H Share RSU Vesting Price = Existing H Share RSU Vesting Price × $\frac{1}{F}$
Where F = Sub-division, consolidation or capital reduction factor (as the case may be)
15.2 The capacity of the Fosun Pharma Auditors or independent financial advisor (as the case may be) in paragraph 15.1 is that of experts and not of arbitrators and their certification shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final and binding on Fosun Pharma and the H Share RSU Grantees.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
15.3 In respect of any adjustments required by paragraph 15.1, other than any made on a capitalization issue, the Fosun Pharma Auditors or independent financial adviser (as the case may be) shall confirm to the Fosun Pharma Board in writing that the adjustments satisfy the relevant requirements set out in the Hong Kong Listing Rules and all relevant guidance and interpretation of the Hong Kong Listing Rules issued by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange from time to time.
15.4 If Fosun Pharma conducts any capitalization issue, bonus issue, rights issue, share consolidation, share sub-division or capital reduction after the H Share Scheme Mandate Limit (including any refreshed limit, where applicable) have been approved in general meeting of Fosun Pharma, the maximum number of H Shares that may be issued and transferred out of treasury in respect of all options and awards to be granted under all of the share scheme(s) of Fosun Pharma under the H Share Scheme Mandate Limit (including any refreshed limit, where applicable) shall be adjusted accordingly with reference to the total number of issued H Shares at the date immediately before and after such event and rounded to the nearest whole share, such that the maximum number of H Shares that may be issued and transferred out of treasury under the H Share Scheme Mandate Limit (including any refreshed limit, where applicable) as a percentage of the total number of issued H Shares as at the date immediately before and after such event shall be the same, and that the Eligible Employees will be entitled to the same proportion of Fosun Pharma's equity capital as to which such Eligible Employees were previously entitled to.
16. Treatment of RSUs upon General Offer, Winding-up and Other Arrangements
16.1 In the event of a voluntary winding-up of Fosun Pharma other than for the purposes of a reconstruction, amalgamation or scheme of arrangement, the Fosun Pharma Board or the Scheme Administrator shall have the sole discretion to determine the treatment of all unvested RSUs.

Such notice shall specify any applicable deadlines for payment of H Share RSU Vesting Price or actions required by the H Share RSU Grantee (if applicable). Any unvested RSUs shall automatically lapse upon such date of lapse or the expiry of such deadline in accordance with the provisions specified in the notice as determined by the Fosun Pharma Board or the Scheme Administrator in its sole discretion.
16.2 If a general offer (whether by way of a takeover, share repurchase offer, scheme of arrangement or otherwise in like manner) is made to all the Fosun Pharma Shareholders (or all such Fosun Pharma Shareholders other than the offeror and/or any person controlled by
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
the offeror and/or any person acting in association or concert with the offeror) and such offer, having been approved in accordance with all Applicable Laws, becomes or is declared unconditional, the Fosun Pharma Board or the Scheme Administrator shall have the sole discretion to determine the treatment of all unvested RSUs. Fosun Pharma shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after a general offer is made, give notice to all H Share RSU Grantees who hold any unvested RSUs as at the date of such notice specifying the determination of the Fosun Pharma Board or the Scheme Administrator on the treatment of all unvested RSUs, including but not limited to (i) accelerating the vesting of any unvested RSUs; (ii) causing all unvested RSUs to lapse (with or without compensation); and/or (iii) setting a final deadline for payment of H Share RSU Vesting Price.

16.3 Other than a general offer or a scheme of arrangement contemplated in this paragraph 16, if a compromise or arrangement between Fosun Pharma and its shareholders or creditors is proposed for the purposes of or in connection with a scheme for the reconstruction of Fosun Pharma or its amalgamation with any other company or companies, the Fosun Pharma Board or the Scheme Administrator shall have the sole discretion to determine the treatment of all unvested RSUs. Fosun Pharma shall, on the same date as or as soon as reasonably practicable after it gives notice to its shareholders or creditors regarding such compromise or arrangement, give notice to all H Share RSU Grantees who hold any unvested RSUs as at the date of such notice specifying the determination of the Fosun Pharma Board or the Scheme Administrator on the treatment of all unvested RSUs, including but not limited to (i) accelerating the vesting of any unvested RSUs; (ii) causing all unvested RSUs to lapse (with or without compensation); and/or (iii) setting a final deadline for payment of H Share RSU Vesting Price.

17.5 The Trustee may not subscribe for any new H Shares pertaining to either (a) an open offer of new securities; or (b) any rights issue or bonus warrants issued in respect of any H Shares held by the Trustee. In the event of a rights issue, the Trustee shall sell any nil-paid rights allotted to it. In the event of the issue of a bonus warrant, the Trustee shall sell the bonus warrants granted to it. The net proceeds from the sale of such rights are held as cash income of the trust fund of the Trust and are first applied to fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee in the administration of the Trust and then to any H Share RSU Grantee subject to discretion of the Fosun Pharma Board or the Scheme Administrator.
17.6 In the event an H Share RSU Grantee ceases to be an Eligible Employee on or prior to the relevant H Share RSU Vesting Date and the RSU in respect of the relevant H Share RSU Grantee shall lapse pursuant to the H Share RSU Scheme, such RSU shall not vest on the relevant H Share RSU Vesting Date (unless the Fosun Pharma Board or the Scheme Administrator determines otherwise in its sole and absolute discretion) and the H Share RSU Grantee shall have no claims against Fosun Pharma or the Trustee.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Subject to the other requirements under the Hong Kong Listing Rules, approval of the Fosun Pharma Shareholders in general meeting is required for any amendment to the terms of the H Share RSU Scheme which are of a material nature or to any provisions of the H Share RSU Scheme which relate to the matters set out in Rule 17.03 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules to the extent that such amendment operates to the advantage of H Share RSU Grantees.
18.2 Without prejudice to the powers of the Fosun Pharma Board or the Scheme Administrator under paragraph 18.1 and subject to the other requirements under the Listing Rules, any material alteration to the terms and conditions of the H Share RSU Scheme must be made with the prior approval of the Fosun Pharma Shareholders in general meeting at which any persons to whom or for whose benefit the H Shares may be issued under the H Share RSU Scheme and their respective associates shall abstain from voting. The determination by the Fosun Pharma Board or the Scheme Administrator as to whether any proposed alteration to the terms and conditions of the H Share RSU Scheme is material shall be final and conclusive.
18.3 Any change to the terms of RSUs the grant of which was subject to the approval of a particular authority (such as the Fosun Pharma Board or the Scheme Administrator, the Remuneration and Appraisal Committee, the independent non-executive directors of Fosun Pharma and/or the Fosun Pharma Shareholders in general meeting) shall be subject to approval by that same authority, provided that this requirement does not apply where the relevant alteration takes effect automatically under the terms of the H Share RSU Scheme. Without limiting the foregoing, any change in the terms of the RSUs granted to any H Share RSU Grantee who is a director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of Fosun Pharma, or any of their respective associates, must be approved by the Fosun Pharma Shareholders in general meeting in the manner required by the Hong Kong Listing Rules if the initial grant of the RSUs requires such approval (except where the changes take effect automatically under the terms of the H Share RSU Scheme), subject to the other requirements under the Listing Rules provided that no change to the terms of any RSU granted shall result in acceleration of the vesting of such RSU.
18.4 Any change to the authority of the Fosun Pharma Board or the Scheme Administrator to alter the terms of the H Share RSU Scheme must be approved by the Fosun Pharma Shareholders in general meeting, subject to the other requirements under the Listing Rules.
- Termination
19.1 The H Share RSU Scheme shall terminate on the earlier of:
(a) the end of the Scheme Period, except otherwise as may be required in accordance with the provisions of the H Share RSU Scheme; and
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
(b) such date of early termination as determined by the Fosun Pharma Board, provided that such termination shall not affect any subsisting rights of any H Share RSU Grantee under the H Share RSU Scheme,
following which no further RSUs will be offered or granted under the H Share RSU Scheme, provided that notwithstanding such termination, the provisions of the H Share RSU Scheme shall remain in force to the extent necessary to give effect to the vesting of any RSU granted prior to the termination or otherwise as may be required in accordance with the provisions of the H Share RSU Scheme, and RSUs granted prior to such termination shall continue to be valid and shall be vested in accordance with the H Share RSU Scheme and the relevant H Share RSU Grant Instrument.
19.2 On the Trading Day following the settlement, lapse or cancellation (as the case may be) of the last outstanding RSU granted under the H Share RSU Scheme (whichever is later), the Trustee shall sell all Returned H Shares and non-cash income remaining in the Trust, if any, and remit the proceeds of sale of the same together with any Residual Cash accrued in the Trust, after making appropriate deductions in respect of all disposal costs, expenses and other existing and future liabilities in accordance with the Trust Deed, to Fosun Pharma forthwith after the sale.
Reasons for the Adoption of the H Share RSU Scheme
In order to further improve the corporate governance structure, establish and enhance the long-term incentive mechanism of the Fosun Pharma Group, attract and retain outstanding talent, fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the executive directors, employee director and senior management personnel of Fosun Pharma and employees of the Fosun Pharma Group, and effectively align the interests of the Fosun Pharma Shareholders, corporate(s) and the Fosun Pharma Group's core team personnel to focus on and work collectively for the long-term development of the Fosun Pharma Group, the H Share RSU Scheme is formulated on the premise of sufficiently protecting the interests of the Fosun Pharma Shareholders and in accordance with the requirements under the Applicable Laws and the Fosun Pharma Articles.
The rules of the H Share RSU Scheme enable Fosun Pharma to grant RSU(s) to Eligible Employees. The Directors are of the view that the adoption of the H Share RSU Scheme aligns with the market practice of providing incentives to Eligible Employees to work towards achieving the long-term development for the benefit of the Fosun Pharma Group as a whole.
The Company believes that the mechanism of the H Share RSU Scheme as described above in this circular will provide it with clear criteria in identifying the Eligible Employees of which RSU(s) should be granted and thus serve the purpose of the H Share RSU Scheme. The Directors consider that (i) the basis of determining the eligibility of the Eligible Employees, (ii) the H Share RSU Vesting Period of (x) 12 months, 24 months and 36 months, or (y) 12 months and 24 months from the relevant date of grant, (iii) the performance targets at the Fosun Pharma Group level as well as the individual level, (iv) the H Share RSU Vesting Price of RMB1.00 per H Share, and (v) the clawback mechanisms can collectively serve to provide effective incentives to attract and retain Eligible Employees, to
- 39 -
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
effectively align their interests with those of the Fosun Pharma Shareholders, and to encourage them to work towards achieving the long-term objectives for the benefit of the Fosun Pharma Group as a whole. As such, the Directors are of the view that the terms of the H Share RSU Scheme align with the purpose of the H Share RSU Scheme.
General Information
None of the directors of Fosun Pharma nor the Directors is or will be the Trustee of the H Share RSU Scheme or has any direct or indirect interest in the Trustee of the H Share RSU Scheme.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 540,971,500 H Shares in issue (excluding 10,969,000 treasury shares). Assuming that there will be no change in the number of the issued H Shares (excluding any treasury shares) between the Latest Practicable Date and the Adoption Date, total number of H Shares which may be issued and transferred out of treasury in respect of all RSUs to be granted under the H Share RSU Scheme and all options and awards to be granted under any other share scheme(s) of Fosun Pharma under the H Share Scheme Mandate Limit would be 54,097,150 H Shares, representing approximately 10% of the total number of H Shares in issue (excluding any treasury shares) as at the Adoption Date.
Hong Kong Listing Rule Implications
The A Share Option Scheme involves the transfer of A Shares not listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange out of the treasury by Fosun Pharma, and no new Fosun Pharma Shares will be issued under the A Share Option Scheme. As such, the A Share Option Scheme is subject to the applicable disclosure requirements under Rule 17.12 of Chapter 17 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules.
The grants of A Share Options under the A Share Option Scheme to those grantees who are connected persons of the Company shall comply with such provisions under Chapter 14A of the Hong Kong Listing Rules as may be applicable, including any reporting, announcement and independent shareholders' approval requirements, unless otherwise exempted under the Hong Kong Listing Rules.
The H Share RSU Scheme involves the transfer of H Shares out of the treasury by Fosun Pharma and is subject to the announcement and shareholders' approval requirements under Rules 17.02 to 17.11 of Chapter 17 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules.
Where the grants of RSUs under the H Share RSU Scheme to those H Share RSU Grantees who are connected persons of the Company will be satisfied by treasury shares transferred to the Trustee by Fosun Pharma, such grants will be fully exempted from the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Hong Kong Listing Rules pursuant to Rule 14A.92(3) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules. Where the grants of RSUs under the H Share RSU Scheme to those H Share RSU Grantees who are connected persons of the Company will be satisfied by existing H Shares purchased by the Trustee from the secondary market, the Company shall comply with such provisions under Chapter 14A of the Hong Kong Listing Rules as may be applicable, including any reporting, announcement and independent shareholders' approval requirements, unless otherwise exempted under the Hong Kong Listing Rules.
