ELECTION AND RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Pursuant to Article 84 of the Articles, at each annual general meeting of the Company, one-third of the Directors for the time being or, if their number is not a multiple of three (3), the number nearest to but not less than one-third, shall retire from office by rotation provided that every Director shall be subject to retirement at an annual general meeting at least once every three years. A retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election and shall continue to act as a Director throughout the meeting at which he retires. The Directors to retire by rotation shall include (so far as necessary to ascertain the number of Directors to retire by rotation) any Director who wishes to retire and not to offer himself for re-election. Any further Directors so to retire shall be those of the other Directors subject to retirement by rotation who have been longest in office since their last re-election or appointment and so that as between persons who became or were last re-elected Directors on the same day those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by lot. Accordingly, Mr. Zongjian Cai, Dr. Horn Kee Leong and Ms. Zhao Lu (the “ Retiring Directors ”) will retire by rotation and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election at the AGM.

Pursuant to code provision B.2.4 of Appendix 14 to the Listing Rules, where all the independent non-executive Directors of the Company have served more than nine years on the Board, the Board should appoint a new independent non-executive Director to the Board, therefore, the Company further proposes to elect Mr. Kam Wai Man as an independent non-executive Director (the “ New INED ”), and an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to elect Mr. Kam Wai Man as an independent non-executive Director.

For Mr. Zongjian Cai, being the founder of the Group and the chairman of the Board and the chief executive officer of the Group, the Nomination Committee considered that Mr. Zongjian Cai has been primarily responsible for overall strategic planning and management of the Group, as well as the business direction of the global business operations of the Group. The Nomination Committee also considered that Mr. Zongjian Cai has provided significant contribution to the development of the Group over the past years and been regarded as a core figure for the Group’s future development.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Mr. Kam Wai Man was introduced to the Company by a member of senior management. The Nomination Committee considered that Mr. Kam Wai Man, being a member of the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants and a CFA Institute charterholder, can strengthen the Company’s financial governance aspect and his extensive experience in regulatory compliance and experience as an independent non-executive director of other listed companies can enhance the overall high standards of corporate governance of the Company. In addition to the core game business, the Group has strategical investment business. The Nomination Committee considered that Mr. Kam Wai Man’s extensive experience in the corporate finance field can bring independent new perspectives to the Board’s decisionmaking. Mr. Kam Wai Man, in his late forties, also contribute to the age diversity of the Board. Therefore, the Nomination Committee considered that Mr. Kam Wai Man can bring diversity to the Board in terms of age and professionalism, and his appointment as an independent non-executive Director can contribute to the Company’s financial governance, corporate governance, and investment with new perspectives, angles and skills, as well as provide independent and objective advice and guidance for the Board’s decision-making and contribute to the Group’s long-term growth and sustainability.

For each of Dr. Horn Kee Leong and Ms. Zhao Lu (being the retiring independent non-executive Directors standing for re-election at the AGM) who has served the Company for more than nine years, the Nomination Committee considered that Dr. Horn Kee Leong, being the chairman of the audit committee of the Board, his vast experience in public, government, finance management, finance and investment, and acting as an independent non-executive director of other companies listed on Singapore Stock Exchange, as well as his extensive network and international exposure, put him in an advantageous position of contributing a worldwide perspective and expressing objective views and giving independent guidance to the Company over the years to the Company’s business; and Ms. Zhao Lu, being the chairman of the Remuneration Committee, has in depth knowledge and experience in the field of gaming business which enabled her to provide valuable perspective and contribution to the Board on matters relating to the Company’s operations and business, and she can also bring gender diversity to the Board and enhance decision-making, expertise and promote inclusion. Notwithstanding their length of service of the Board, the Nomination Committee considered that Dr. Horn Kee Leong’s global experience and expertise in finance and investment and Ms. Zhao Lu’s experience in gaming industry remain highly relevant and beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Board assesses a director’s independence on a case-by-case basis with reference to the director’s business acumen, experience in related industries, professional qualification, international business exposure and the nature of the businesses of the Company in addition to tenure. A Director who has over time gained in-depth insight into the Company’s operations and its markets are well-positioned to offer his/her perspective and advice for discussion at the Board. The Board is of the view that both Dr. Horn Kee Leong and Ms. Zhao Lu have strong contribution to the Board’s discussions and provide invaluable independent guidance and continuing level of constructive advice.

They have not taken part in the day-to-day management of the Company. The Nomination Committee considered that each of Dr. Horn Kee Leong, Ms. Zhao Lu and Mr. Kam Wai Man has satisfied all the independence criteria as set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and be considered as independent having regard to the confirmation of independence provided by Dr. Horn Kee Leong, Ms. Zhao Lu and Mr. Kam Wai Man. In addition, the Nomination Committee also considered that both Dr. Horn Kee Leong and Ms. Zhao Lu have demonstrated objectively in exercising judgement and provided independent advice to the Board and the management in respect of various matters of the Company throughout their directorship with the Company. In view of the above, the Nomination Committee believed that Dr. Horn Kee Leong and Ms. Zhao Lu’s long service would not affect their exercise of independent judgment.

The Nomination Committee is of the view that each of the Retiring Directors and the New INED has the required character, integrity and professional knowledge and experience to fulfill their role and contributing to the Company as a Director. The Nomination Committee made the recommendations regarding the nominations of the Retiring Directors and the New INED to the Board.

PROPOSED TERMINATION OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME AND PROPOSED ADOPTION OF THE SHARE INCENTIVE SCHEME

Reasons for the termination of the Share Option Scheme and the adoption of the Share Incentive Scheme

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

According to the terms of the Share Option Scheme, the Company may by resolution in general meeting at any time resolve to terminate the operation of the Share Option Scheme and in such event, no further options will be offered but the provision of the Share Option Scheme shall remain in force and effect in all other respects.

The Board proposed to terminate the operation of the Share Option Scheme before it is due to expire. Subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the AGM, the Share Option Scheme shall be terminated such that no further options under the Share Option Scheme could thereafter be offered but in all other respects the provisions of the Share Option Scheme shall remain in full force and effect.

(ii) Proposed Adoption of the Share Incentive Scheme

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (c) with respect to Service Providers, the Board will consider the following in determining the eligibility of each category of the Service Providers,

  • (1) Supplier of goods or services to the Group

Service Providers under this category are mainly suppliers of goods and services, who/which support the Group’s businesses of (i) customer support services that render high-quality services to ensure customer satisfaction and retention for the Group’s gaming business and APP and mobile Ad mediation platform business; (ii) marketing and advertising services that promote the Group’s brand and attract new customers for the Group’s gaming business and APP and mobile Ad mediation platform business; and (iii) IT and technical services that offer IT and technical infrastructure to ensure the Group’s gaming business and APP and mobile Ad mediation platform business operate smoothly and securely.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board will, on a case-by-case basis, take into account both qualitative and quantitative factors when determining the eligibility of such Service Provider under this category, including but not limited to: (1) their knowledge, experience and network in the relevant industry; (2) the frequency of collaboration and length of business relationship with the Group; (3) the materiality and nature of the business relationship with the Group (such as whether they relate to the core business of the Group and whether such business dealings could be readily replaced by third parties); (4) their background, reputation and track record; (5) the replacement cost of such person or entity; (6) the potential and/or actual contribution to the business affairs of the Group, in particular, whether they could bring positive impacts to the Group’s business, such as an increase in revenue or profits or a reduction in costs attributable to or brought by services provided by them; and (7) other factors, including the capability, expertise, technical know-how and/or business connections of such person or entity, and/or the synergy between such person or entity and the Group.

In assessing whether the Service Provider provides services to the Group on a continuing and recurring basis and in its ordinary and usual course of business, the Board shall take into consideration the length and type of services provided and the recurrences and regularity of such services, the nature of the services provided to the Group by the Service Provider, and whether such services form part of or are directly ancillary to the businesses conducted by the Group.

The Service Providers as set out under sub-paragraph (c) above, who have relevant expertise in fields related to the industry of online gaming business, possess industry-specific knowledge, or have extensive experience and understand the market trend, can directly contribute to the long-term growth of the Group’s business by providing services that are of a continuing and recurring nature in the ordinary and usual course of the Group’s business.

The strategic advice and guidance provided by engaging these Service Providers benefit the Group in its ordinary and usual course of business and often allows the Group to more effectively plan its future business strategies for long-term growth.

Taking into account of the criteria of eligibility for the Service Providers as set out in above and their relevance and significance to the main businesses of the Group, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the categories of the Service Providers and the criteria in determining the eligibility of such Service Providers were designed and set in line with the Group’s business need. In view of the above, the Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) is of the view that the inclusion of Service Providers as Eligible Persons is fair and reasonable and aligns with the purposes of the Share Incentive Scheme and in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Scheme Limit and Service Provider Sublimit

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised of 1,197,976,599 Shares. Assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital between the period from the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued in respect of all Awards to be granted under the Share Incentive Scheme and any other scheme(s) of the Company, in aggregate will be 119,797,659 Shares, representing 10% of the total issued Shares as at the date of the AGM (the “ Scheme Limit ”).

Within the Scheme Limit, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued in respect of all Awards to be granted to Service Providers under the Share Incentive Scheme must not in aggregate exceed 1% of the total issued Shares as at the date of the AGM, being 11,979,765 Shares (assuming that there is no change in the issued Share capital between the period from the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM) (the “ Service Provider Sublimit ”).

The basis for determining the Service Provider Sublimit includes the potential dilution effect arising from proposed grants to the Service Providers, and the importance of striking a balance between achieving the purpose of the Share Incentive Scheme and protecting Shareholders from the dilution effect from granting of Options and/or Restricted Shares to the Service Providers. The Board has further taken into consideration of the necessity in maintaining the existing business relationships and exploring potential partnerships with its Service Providers (in particular, the Service Providers who could bring positive impacts to the Group’s business, such as an increase in revenue or profits or a reduction in costs attributable to or brought by services provided by Service Providers), as well as taking into account the factors, including but not limited to, the capability, expertise, technical know-how, business connections of the Service Providers, and the synergy between the Service Providers and the Group, and also the other factors of the Service Providers, being stakeholders who have provided services to the Group on a continuing and recurring basis in its ordinary and usual course of business in respect of business of the Group, business development, research and development or other technological support to the Group, so as to maintain the Group’s competitiveness in long term. The Board considers that the granting of Options and/or Restricted Shares will offer incentives for the Service Providers to provide continuing efforts to promote the interests of the Group and benefits the long-term growth of the Group. The Company expects that a significant majority of Options and/or Restricted Shares will be granted to the Employee Participants and as such there is a need to reserve a larger portion of the Scheme Limit for grants to the Employee Participants.

Given the above, the Directors considered that the Service Provider Sublimit, representing 1% of the total issued Shares as at the date of the AGM, would not lead to an excessive dilution of existing Shareholders’ holdings. Considering that (i) there are no other share schemes involving grant of options and/or awards over new Shares to the Service Providers; (ii) under the Group’s engagement practice and organisational structures, certain Service Providers, in particular, the independent contractors and consultants, which provide services akin to employees of the Group, may not be able to serve as full-time or part-time employees of the Group; (iii) the Service Providers have contributed to the long-term growth

– 19 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

of the Company’s businesses, and (iv) the fact that the Board has the authority to select the appropriate participants of such Service Provider who would align with the business development of the Group and to determine the terms and conditions in respect of an Award that may be granted (including performance targets or clawback mechanism, if any), the Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) is of the view that the Service Provider Sublimit is appropriate and reasonable as it provides flexibility to grant Options and/or Restricted Shares to the Service Providers to achieve the purpose of the Share Incentive Scheme and the relatively low threshold, 1% of the total issued Shares as at the date of the AGM, can provide adequate safeguard against excessive dilution. The Service Provider Sublimit is subject to separate approval by the Shareholders at the AGM.

Vesting period

Save for the circumstances prescribed in paragraph 5.3(b) of Appendix IV to this circular, the vesting period for Options and/or Restricted Shares under the Share Incentive Scheme shall not be less than 12 months. It is considered that by having the flexibility of having a shorter vesting period in accordance with the circumstances provided under paragraph 5.3(b), the Group will be in a better position to attract and retain such Employee Participants to continue serving the Group whilst at the same time providing them with further incentive in achieving the goals of the Group, and thereby, to achieve the purpose of the Share Incentive Scheme. Hence, the Board and the Remuneration Committee are of the view that the shorter vesting period prescribed in paragraph 5.3(b) of Appendix IV to this circular is in line with the market practice and is appropriate and aligns with the purpose of the Share Incentive Scheme.

Performance target and clawback mechanism

The Board or the Remuneration Committee may (as the case may be) establish performance targets which must be satisfied before the Awards may be vested. Such performance targets may include business, financials, operations, market value of the Company and creation of capital value for the Group’s business segments, or individual performance appraisal results for the relevant year evaluated in accordance with the performance appraisal system as established by the Group applicable to the Eligible Persons as the Board or the Remuneration Committee (as the case may be) considers reasonable at its sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, an Award shall not be subject to any performance targets, criteria or conditions if none are set out in the relevant letter of grant.

In addition, the Board may, at its absolute discretion, determine that any outstanding Awards or proceeds from the exercise or disposition of any such Awards or Shares acquired under any such Award to be forfeited, or be subject to clawback and disgorgement to the Company, under certain circumstances specified in the Share Incentive Scheme, such as the Eligible Person violating any agreement, policies of the Company or any applicable laws applicable to the Eligible Person, the Eligible Person conducting any misconduct or is being convicted of any criminal offence involving his/her integrity or honesty. For details, please refer to the paragraph headed “12. Clawback Mechanism” in Appendix IV to this circular.

– 20 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board believes that the aforesaid will provide the Board with more flexibility in setting the terms and conditions of the Awards under particular circumstances of each grant and facilitate the Board’s aim to offer meaningful incentives to attract and retain quality personnel that are valuable to the development of the Group and for the benefit of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

Listing Rules Implications

Pursuant to the Share Incentive Scheme, the Award will be satisfied by new Shares to be allotted and issued by the Company pursuant to the scheme rules of the Share Incentive Scheme.

The Share Incentive Scheme will constitute a share scheme involving the grant of new Shares under the Listing Rules. Pursuant to the Listing Rules, share schemes involving the grant of new shares must be approved by shareholders of the listed issuer in general meeting. Accordingly, the adoption of the Share Incentive Scheme will be subject to, among others, Shareholders’ approval at the AGM. As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge of the Directors and having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholders have a material interest in the adoption of the Share Incentive Scheme, and no Shareholders are required to abstain from voting on relevant resolution at the AGM.

The Share Incentive Scheme shall become effective upon the satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) the passing of an ordinary resolution at the AGM to approve the adoption of the Share Incentive Scheme; and (ii) the Stock Exchange granting the approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares which may fall to be issued to satisfy the Awards which may be granted under the Share Incentive Scheme.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no trustee has been appointed to administer and implement the Share Incentive Scheme, and the Company has no intention to appoint a Director as a trustee of the Share Incentive Scheme. None of the Directors has any direct or indirect interest in the trustees of the Share Incentive Scheme, if any.

A summary of the principal terms of the Share Incentive Scheme is set out in Appendix IV to this circular.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to enable Shareholders to make an informed decision as to whether to vote for or against the resolution to approve the grant of the Buy-back Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,197,976,599 Shares. Subject to the passing of the resolution approving the Buy-back Mandate as set out in the AGM Notice and assuming that no Shares are issued, allotted or bought back by the Company prior to the AGM, the Directors would be authorised under the Buy-back Mandate to buy back a maximum of 119,797,659 Shares, representing not more than 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of resolution until (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by the Articles or the Companies Act; or (iii) the revocation or variation of the Buy-back Mandate by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting, whichever is the earliest.

2. REASONS FOR BUY-BACKS

The Directors believe that the Buy-back Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Buy-backs of Shares will only be made when the Directors believe that such buy-backs will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Such buy-backs may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earnings per share.

3. FUNDING OF BUY-BACKS

Buy-backs made pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate would be funded out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Company’s Memorandum of Association, the Articles, the Companies Act and other applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. Under the Companies Act, buy-backs by the Company may only be made out of profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose, or, out of capital subject to and in accordance with the Companies Act. Any premium payable on buy-backs must be paid out of profits of the Company or out of the Company’s share premium account before or at the time the Shares are bought back in the manner provided in the Companies Act.

4. EFFECT OF EXERCISING THE BUY-BACK MANDATE

Taking into account of the current working capital position of the Company, the Directors consider that, if the Buy-back Mandate was to be exercised in full, it might have a material adverse effect on the working capital and/or the gearing position of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the most recent published audited financial statements.

– 24 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Buy-back Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing position of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

5. DIRECTORS’ UNDERTAKING

None of the Directors, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, nor any of their close associates has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company if the Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the power to make purchases pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Articles, the Companies Act and any other applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

No core connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he/she has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company nor has any such core connected person undertaken not to sell any Shares held by him/her to the Company in the event that the Buy-back Mandate is granted.

6. IMPLICATIONS OF TAKEOVERS CODE AND PUBLIC FLOAT

If, as a result of a Share buy-back of the Company, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code.

Accordingly, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code) could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

Based on the shareholding as at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge of the Directors, Mr. Zongjian Cai, Duke Online, Mr. Yuan Xu, Mr. Hong Zhang, Ms. Kai Chen (spouse of Mr. Zongjian Cai) and Mr. Zhixiang Chen, as parties acting in concert, together exercise and/or control the exercise of approximately 21.89% voting rights in the general meeting of the Company. In the event the Directors exercise in full the Buy-back Mandate to buy back Shares, the aggregate voting rights held by Mr. Zongjian Cai, Duke Online, Mr. Yuan Xu, Mr. Hong Zhang, Ms. Kai Chen and Mr. Zhixiang Chen would be increased to approximately 24.32% of the issued share capital of the Company. The Directors are not aware of any consequences or implications which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of exercising the power to repurchase Shares under the Buy-back Mandate.

– 25 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

The Listing Rules prohibit a company from buying back of its shares on the Stock Exchange if the result of such buy-back would be that less than 25% (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the issued share capital would be in public hands. The Directors have no intention to exercise the Buy-back Mandate to such an extent that will result in the number of Shares in hands of public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25%.

7. SHARES BOUGHT BACK BY THE COMPANY

During the preceding six months up to and including the Latest Practicable Date, the Company did not buy back any of its Shares on the Stock Exchange.

8. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares were traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the previous 12 months and up to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

Price per Share
Month Highest Lowest

2022

4.3 Appointment of Trustee

The Company may appoint a trustee to assist with the administration, exercise and vesting of Awards granted under the Share Incentive Scheme.

Where any grant of Awards (excluding grant of Options) to any Director (other than an independent non-executive Director), chief executive of the Company or any of their respective associates would result in the Shares issued and to be issued in respect of all Awards granted (excluding any Awards lapsed in accordance with the terms of the Share Incentive Scheme) to such person pursuant to the Share Incentive Scheme and any other share schemes of the Company in the 12 month period up to and including the Offer Date representing in aggregate over 0.1% of the Shares in issue on the Offer Date, such further grant of Awards shall be subject to prior approval by the Shareholders in general meeting in accordance with the Listing Rules.

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE SHARE INCENTIVE SCHEME

of the Company in the 12 month period up to and including the Offer Date representing in aggregate over 0.1% of the Shares in issue on the Offer Date, such further grant of Awards shall be subject to prior approval by the Shareholders in general meeting in accordance with the Listing Rules.

5.3 Conditions of Grant of Awards

  • (a) The vesting of Restricted Shares and exercise of any Option may be subject to a vesting schedule to be determined by the Board in its absolute discretion.

  • (b) Subject to paragraphs 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4, the vesting period of Options and/or Restricted Shares shall not be less than 12 months from the Offer Date, except for such circumstances the Board may consider appropriate and in alignment with the purposes of the Share Incentive Scheme in relation to grant of Awards to the Employee Participants under the following circumstances:

  • (i) grants of “make-whole” rewards to new joiners to replace the share awards or options they forfeited when leaving the previous employer;

  • (ii) grants which would have been made earlier but for administrative and compliance reasons and are made in a subsequent batch, in order to put the Grantees in the same position as they would have been in had the grant been made earlier;

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

  • (iv) grants with performance-based vesting conditions in lieu of time-based vesting criteria.

It is considered that by having the flexibility of having a shorter vesting period in accordance with paragraph 5.3(b) above, the Group will be in a better position to attract and retain such Employee Participants to continue serving the Group whilst at the same time providing them with further incentive in achieving the goals of the Group, and thereby, to achieve the purpose of the Share Incentive Scheme.

  • (c) In respect of any Eligible Person, the Board or the Remuneration Committee may (as the case may be) establish performance targets against the attainment of which the Awards granted to the Eligible Persons concerned. Proposed performance targets include business, financials, operations, market value of the Company and creation of capital value for the Group’s business segments, or individual performance appraisal results for the relevant year evaluated in accordance with the performance appraisal system as established by the Group applicable to the Eligible Persons as the Board or the Remuneration Committee (as the case may be) considers reasonable

Unless the Award is replaced in accordance with paragraph 7.6 below, the Shares underlying the Award (to the extent not already vested) shall vest in accordance with paragraph 7.5 below and, in the case of an Option, each Grantee shall be entitled to exercise the Option (to the extent vested and not already exercised) provided that such exercise is not later than three Business Days prior to the date of the proposed meeting. The Company shall as soon as possible and at least one Business Day before the date of the proposed meeting, allot and issue such number of Shares to the Grantee which falls to be issued on such vesting or exercise of the Awards, credited as fully paid, and shall register such Shares in the Grantee’s name and issue to the Grantee (or his/her custodian agent) share certificates (if applicable) in respect of such Shares. With effect from the date two Business Days before the date of such meeting, the rights of all Grantees to exercise their Options shall be suspended. The Board shall endeavour to procure that the Shares issued upon the vesting or exercise of the Awards in such circumstances shall for the purposes of such compromise or arrangement form part of the issued share capital of the Company on the effective date thereof and that such Shares shall in all respects be subject to such compromise or arrangement. If, for any reason, such compromise or arrangement is not approved by the relevant court (whether upon the terms presented to the relevant court or upon any other terms as may be approved by such court), the rights of the Grantees to exercise their Options shall, with effect from the date of the court’s order and to the extent they had not been exercised at the date such rights were suspended, be restored in full as if such compromise or arrangement had not been proposed by the Company and neither the Company nor the Directors shall be liable for any loss or damage suffered or sustained by any Grantee as a result of the aforesaid suspension of rights. Except insofar as exercised in accordance with this paragraph 7.3, all Options outstanding at the expiry of the relevant period referred to in this paragraph 7.3 shall lapse.

7.4 Rights on a Voluntary Winding-up

In the event a notice is given by the Company to its members to convene a general meeting for the purposes of considering, and if thought fit, approving a resolution to voluntarily wind-up the Company, the Company shall on the same date as or soon after it dispatches such notice to each member of the Company give notice thereof to all Grantees and thereupon, the Shares underlying the Award (to the extent not already vested) shall vest in accordance with the paragraph 7.5 below and, in the case of an Option, each Grantee (or his legal personal representative(s)) shall be entitled to exercise all or any of his Options (to the extent vested and not already exercised) at any time not later than three Business Days prior to the proposed general meeting of the Company by giving notice in writing to the Company, accompanied by a remittance for the full amount of the aggregate Exercise Price for the Shares in respect of which the notice is given. The Company shall as soon as possible and, in any event, no later than the Business Day immediately prior to the date of the proposed general meeting referred to above, allot and issue the relevant Shares to the Grantees credited as fully paid.

If, for any reason, the resolution for the voluntary winding-up of the Company is not approved by the Shareholders, the rights of the Grantees to exercise their Options shall be restored in full, to the extent that they had not been exercised at the date such rights were suspended, as if such resolution for the voluntary winding-up of the Company had not been proposed by the Company and neither the Company nor the Directors shall be liable for any loss or damage suffered or sustained by any Grantee as a result of the aforesaid suspension of rights.

7.5 Extent of Vesting

Upon the occurrence of any of the events referred to in paragraphs 7.2 to 7.4 above, the number of underlying Shares (if any) which shall vest and the date on which any such vesting will occur shall be determined by the Board in its absolute discretion by reference to factors which may include (a) the extent to which any performance or other conditions to vesting have been satisfied and (b) the proportion of the vesting period that has expired, in each case as at the relevant event, and the Company shall notify the Grantee of the date on which and the extent to which his/her Awards will vest and, in the case of an Option, the period during which it may be exercised. If the Board determines that any Awards shall vest in part only, the balance of the Awards shall lapse.

7.6 Replacement of Awards

In the case of any of the events referred to in paragraphs 7.2 to 7.3 above, Awards may be replaced by equivalent awards as agreed with the offeror or acquiring company.

9. Maximum Entitlement of Grantees

In addition to paragraph 5.2 above, and subject to the paragraph below, the maximum number of Shares issued and to be issued upon the vesting or exercise of the Awards granted to each Eligible Person under the Share Incentive Scheme (excluding any awards lapsed in accordance with the terms of the relevant share scheme) in any 12-month period shall not (when aggregated with any Shares underlying the awards granted during such period under any other share schemes of the Company) exceed 1% of the Shares in issue for the time being.

When any further grant of Awards to an Eligible Person would result in the Shares issued and to be issued upon the vesting or exercise of all Awards granted and to be granted to such person (excluding any awards lapsed in accordance with the terms of the relevant share scheme) in the 12-month period up to and including the date of such further grant (when aggregated with any Shares underlying the awards granted during such period pursuant to any other share schemes of the Company) representing in aggregate over 1% of the Shares in issue, such further grant must be separately approved by Shareholders in general meeting in accordance with the Listing Rules.
