3. LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

Pursuant to Rule 17.04(1) of the Listing Rules and the Share Option Scheme, the grant of Share Options by the Company to any Director or substantial Shareholder or any of their respective associate (as defined under the Listing Rules) must be approved by the independent non-executive Directors. Each grant of the Share Options to the above Directors and substantial Shareholder has been approved by all the independent non-executive Directors on 28 May 2021 (after trading hour).

Further, pursuant to Rule 17.04(1) of the Listing Rules and the Share Option Scheme, given that the total number of Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Share Options granted and to be granted (including Share Options exercised, cancelled and outstanding) to Mr. Feng (being a substantial Shareholder) in a 12-month period represents in aggregate over 0.1% of the Shares in issue and having an aggregate value in excess of HK$5 million, based on the closing price of the Shares of HK$2.26 on the Date of Grant, the grant of the Share Options to Mr. Feng is subject to the approval by the Independent Shareholders at the EGM. Mr. Feng, his associates, Mr. Hou and all core connected persons of the Company shall abstain from voting at the EGM for the purpose of approving the grant of the Share Options to Mr. Feng.

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Pursuant to Rule 17.03(4) of the Listing Rules, where any grant of share options to a participant would result in the shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of all share options granted and to be granted to such person (including exercised, cancelled and outstanding share options) in the 12-month period up to and including the date of such grant representing in aggregate over 1% of the shares in issue, such grant of share options must be separately approved by shareholders of the listed issuer in general meeting with such participant and his close associates (or his associates if the participant is a connected person) abstaining from voting.

The total number of Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Share Options to be granted to Mr. Hou, in a 12-month period would be approximately 1% of the Shares in issue as at the Date of Grant. Given that the Board would voluntarily comply with Rule 17.03(4) of the Listing Rules, the grant of the Share Options to Mr. Hou is conditional upon the approval by the Independent Shareholders at the EGM. Mr. Hou and his respective associates shall abstain from voting at the EGM for the purpose of approving the grant of the Share Options to Mr. Hou.

5. REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSED GRANT

The purpose of the Proposed Grant is to grant incentive and rewards to recognise the significant efforts and contribution of Mr. Feng and Mr. Hou in the development and transformation of the Group’s business. The Board considers that the above purpose can be achieved by granting the Share Options as it demonstrates to Mr. Feng and Mr. Hou that their efforts and contributions to the Group are valued and will be rewarded.

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In determining the number of Share Options proposed to be granted to each of Mr. Feng and Mr. Hou, the remuneration committee of the Company (the “ Remuneration Committee ”) considered factors such as time commitment and responsibilities of the Directors, employment conditions elsewhere in the Group and desirability of performance-based remuneration. Furthermore, the remuneration policies for the executive Directors are that: (i) the amount of remuneration payable to the executive Directors will be determined on a case-by-case basis depending on the experience, responsibility, workload and the time devoted to the Group by the relevant Director; and (ii) the executive Directors may be granted, at the discretion of the Board, share options of the Company, as part of the remuneration package.

The Proposed Grant reflects the level of commitment and value for the respective positions of Mr. Feng and Mr. Hou. Mr. Feng is the founder, the Chairman, the chief executive officer and the executive Director of the Group. Mr. Feng is primarily responsible for formulating and implementing the overall development strategies and business plans of the Group and overseeing the overall development and operations of the Group. He has over 18 years of experience in the internet technology industry. He has served the Group since formation and has successfully transformed the company to a sizeable listing group. Mr. Hou, the founder and executive Director of the Group, is primarily responsible for overseeing and managing the overall technology development of the Group. He has over seven years of experience in the internet technology industry and has served the Group since formation.

Both Mr. Feng and Mr. Hou have held senior positions in the Group. As outlined in their respective brief biographies below, each of them has long commitment to the Group and extensive experience in the internet technology industry. The Company has also transformed from a loss making private company to a profit making listing company under the leadership of both Mr. Feng and Mr. Hou. Mr. Feng and Mr. Hou founded the Group in 2015, with their innovation, business strategy, as well as the efficient execution, the net profit of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2020 increased to approximately RMB203.2 million from a net loss of approximately RMB1,467.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2016. The Company was listed in 2018, and is continuing the journey of a unicorn corporation, which referred to a company with less than 10 years operating history and over US$1 billion valuation. Under the leadership of Mr. Feng and Mr. Hou, the Group continued strategies in diversifying its product mix through innovation and implementation of new products. Inke APP was the foundation business of the Group since formation. Then, two new major applications, Jimu APP and Duiyuan APP, had been introduced since the year ended 31 December 2019. For the year ended 31 December 2020, 41.8% of the total revenue of the Group was attributable to innovative products of the Group, reflecting the continuing success of the strategic and expansion plan leading by Mr. Feng and Mr. Hou. The Board and the Remuneration Committee is of the view that the role and responsibility of Mr. Feng and Mr. Hou are directly affecting and will continue to affect the performance of the Group, that performance-based remuneration is desired and the Proposed Grant is appropriate.

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Taking into account that (i) the contribution of Mr. Feng and Mr. Hou to the Company was significant; (ii) the stability of key personnel is crucial to the further development of the Group; (iii) the dilution effect of the Proposed Grant is insignificant; (iv) the grant of Share Options would not increase recurring expenditure of the Group when comparing to an increase in cash component of Mr. Feng and Mr. Hou’s remuneration package such that the Company can reserve the cash for future development; (v) the annual remuneration of Mr. Feng and Mr. Hou were approximately HK$2.5 million and HK$2.5 million, respectively, which is the lowest among the precedent cases stated below; and (vi) it is industry norm for PRC information technology companies to have remuneration package with high ratio of equity based payment to provide incentive to the key management to lead the growth of the company, the Remuneration Committee is of the view that the Proposed Grant is a part of the remuneration packages and an incentive to encourage Mr. Feng and Mr. Hou for their continued investments and contributions to the Group in the future, and the Proposed Grant is in line with the Company’s remuneration policies and, therefore, the Remuneration Committee has recommended the Board to approve the Proposed Grant.

Given that the Share Options granted to Mr. Feng and Mr. Hou are subject to exercise at the exercise price which was at a premium of approximates 72.57% over the closing price on the Date of Grant, the Board and the Remuneration Committee are of the view that such Share Options serve as a strong incentive for Mr. Feng and Mr. Hou to promote the future growth and development of the Company, as Mr. Feng and Mr. Hou will not receive any benefit from the Share Options granted unless there is further increase in the share price of the Company over the exercise price which already at a high premium over the closing price at Date of Grant.

The Board and the Remuneration Committee had also observed that there were precedent cases in relating to the grant of Share Options to executive directors or senior management required independent shareholders voting since 1 January 2021 and up to the Date of Grant (“ Precedent Cases ”).

Although the size and business of the listed companies in the Precedent Cases may be different from that of the Company, the Board and the Remunerations Committee considered that such Precedent Cases indicated recent range of acceptance for independent shareholder in relation to the grant of options to key person of a listed company for rewarding past contribution as well as incentive for leading the future development.

– 12 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In light of the percentage of Shares granted to Mr. Feng and Mr. Hou are approximately 1.5% and 1.0% respectively, being in the range of the Precedent Cases, the Board and the Remuneration Committee considered that the Share Options granted to Mr. Feng and Mr. Hou are generally in line with the market. Given that (i) the Share Options granted to Mr. Feng and Mr. Hou are generally in line with the market; (ii) the significant contribution of Mr. Feng and Mr. Hou to the Group; and the Group’s high premium of the exercise price to the closing price as at the grant date, being approximately 72.57%, is higher than the average premium of the Precedent Cases, being approximately 1.69%, (iii) the ratio of market value of options as at the Date of Grant to cash remuneration is within the range of the Precedent Cases; and (iv) the contribution of Mr. Feng and Mr. Hou in the past and the direction leading going forward, although the grant of Share Options to Mr. Feng has exceed the individual limit as stipulated under the Share Option Scheme, the Board and Remuneration Committee considered that it is justifiable to (i) reward Mr. Feng and Mr. Hou for the past contribution, and (ii) provide more incentive to Mr. Feng and Mr. Hou to continue leading the growth of the Group by granting Share Options with a high exercise price, the achievement of which would be beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole with no cash burden to the Group.

The Board considers that the economic benefits of share options depend upon the increase in share price to be driven by improving the overall management business synergies and operational performances of the Group at which time all the Shareholders also stand to benefit. A grant of share options therefore provides an incentive for the Directors and eligible employees to devote themselves to increasing profitability of the Group, thereby raising share price and share value for the Group and the Shareholders.

The Proposed Grant serves as an appreciation of the dedication and efforts of Mr. Feng and Mr. Hou, in view of the long vesting and exercise period of the Share Options, as an incentive for their persistent devotions and leadership by further aligning the long-term interests of the Group with them. Therefore, the Board believes that the Proposed Grant is an appropriate way to reward and encourage the ongoing valuable performance of Mr. Feng and Mr. Hou in achieving the goals and business growth of the Group.

In view of the above, the Proposed Grant will allow the Company more flexibility to motivate the eligible participants, attract and retain or otherwise maintain ongoing business relationship with the eligible participants whose contributions are, will or expected to be beneficial to the Group. Therefore, it is considered that the Proposed Grant is in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

6. INFORMATION ON SHARE OPTIONS GRANTED UNDER THE COMPANY’S SHARE OPTION SCHEMES

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were no Share options outstanding (not taking into account of the proposed grant as stated in the announcement of the Company dated 30 May 2021). Assuming that the Proposed Grant is approved by the Shareholders at the EGM and that no share options previously granted are exercised from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of the EGM, the Company will have in total 60,000,000 share options outstanding immediately following the EGM, representing approximately 3.0% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. Thus, the aggregate number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all the outstanding share options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company does not exceed 30% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date. No share option may be granted under any share option scheme of the Company if this will result in the 30% limit being exceeded.
