LETTER FROM THE BOARD

amendments to the Articles of Association and cancellation of the Supervisory Committee; (3) the proposed amendments to the Rules of Procedure for General Meetings; and (4) the proposed amendments to the Rules of Procedure for Board Meetings. Of these, items (1) (2) are special resolutions and items (3) (4) are ordinary resolutions.

2. PROPOSED ADOPTION OF THE 2025 SHARE AWARD PLAN

As disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated March 28, 2025, the Board has proposed the adoption of the 2025 Share Award Plan, and a special resolution will be proposed at the Extraordinary General Meeting to consider and approve the proposed adoption of the 2025 Share Award Plan. The 2025 Share Award Plan will take effect upon approval by Shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

The full text of the rules of the Plan is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

The principal contents of the 2025 Share Award Plan are as follows:

(1) Purpose of the 2025 Share Award Plan

The purpose of the 2025 Share Award Plan is to motivate the employees of the Company by awarding shares, enhance their work enthusiasm and loyalty, and promote the long-term stable development of the Company. It aims to share the profits generated from the growth of the Company by granting the Company’s shares to its employees, enhance their sense of responsibility and mission for the development of the Company, while attracting and retaining outstanding talents to enhance the Company’s core competitiveness.

(2) Validity Period

Except for any early termination determined by the Board in accordance with the rules of the 2025 Share Award Plan, the 2025 Share Award Plan shall be valid and effective for a period of 10 years from the Adoption Date, and no further Award may be made after the expiry of the validity period.

(3) Source of Funds

The source of funds for the 2025 Share Award Plan is the Company’s internal funds; and/or the amount that the incentive recipients are required to pay to the Company (or other persons instructed by the Board and/or the Authorized Persons) in accordance with the terms of the grant letter and/or the rules of the Plan to obtain the Awarded Shares.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(4) Source of Shares

The source of H Shares under the 2025 Share Award Plan is the H Shares that the Trustees will acquire using the 2025 Share Award Plan funds and/or additional H Shares (including treasury shares, if any) issued to the Trustees in accordance with the Trust Deeds and the instructions of the Company and the relevant provisions of the rules of the 2025 Share Award Plan.

(5) Plan Mandate Limit

The mandate limit of the 2025 Share Award Plan shall not exceed 10% of the total number of issued H Shares (excluding treasury shares) as at the Adoption Date or the relevant date of approval of the refreshment of the Plan Mandate Limit, which is estimated to be 49,125,718 H Shares (assuming no new H Shares are issued from the Latest Practicable Date to the Adoption Date).

The Board or the Chairperson of the Board (as delegated by the Board) shall not instruct the Trustees to subscribe for and/or purchase any Shares for the purpose of the 2025 Share Award Plan when such subscription and/or purchase will result in the Plan Mandate Limit being exceeded. The Company may seek approval by its Shareholders in general meeting for refreshing the Plan Mandate Limit after three years from the date of Shareholders' approval for the last refreshment or the adoption of the 2025 Share Award Plan and in accordance with the applicable Listing Rules.

(6) Eligible Participants

Persons entitled to participate in the 2025 Share Award Plan are employee participants, including the Company's senior management, core technical personnel and key business personnel who have outstanding contributions to the Company's development.

In respect of such employee participants, the basis of their qualification is determined from time to time based on the following criteria: (i) their skills, knowledge, experience, expertise and other relevant personal qualities; (ii) their performance, time commitment, responsibilities or conditions of employment and prevailing market practices and industry standards; (iii) the contribution they have made or are expected to make to the growth of the Group and the positive impact they are likely to have on the Group's business and development; (iv) their educational and professional qualifications and industry knowledge; and (v) whether the granting of incentives to them is an appropriate incentive to motivate them to continue to contribute to the better development of the Group.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board is of the view that the basis for determining the qualification of Eligible Participants is consistent with the purpose of the incentive scheme as it will enable the Group to utilize share incentives to encourage people within the Group to contribute to the Group and benefit the long-term development of the Group by aligning the mutual interests of both parties through the shareholdings.

(7) Administration of the 2025 Share Award Plan

The 2025 Share Award Plan shall be subject to the administration of the Board or the Chairperson of the Board (as delegated by the Board) whose decisions on all matters arising in relation to the 2025 Share Award Plan or its interpretation or effect shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons who may be affected thereby, provided that such administration shall not prejudice the powers of the Trustees as provided under the Trust Deeds.

For avoidance of doubt, the Remuneration Committee shall have powers on recommending and/or deciding (on and subject to the terms and conditions provided under the 2025 Share Award Plan) the Selected Participants, the number of Awarded Shares to be awarded to the respective Selected Participants and other related matters as expressly provided under the 2025 Share Award Plan.

In the event that a Selected Participant or his/her associate is a member of the Board, such person will abstain from voting on any approval by the Board of an Award to such Selected Participants.

(8) Award of Shares

The Board or the Chairperson of the Board (as delegated by the Board) shall, subject to and in accordance with the 2025 Share Award Plan, be entitled (but shall not be bound) to, at any time during the continuation of the 2025 Share Award Plan, make an award out of the Shares Pool to any of the Eligible Participants. Such H Shares are fully paid or credited as fully paid, as the Board or the Chairperson of the Board (as delegated by the Board) shall determine pursuant to the 2025 Share Award Plan. The eligibility of any of the Eligible Participants to an Award shall be determined by the Board or the Chairperson of the Board (as delegated by the Board) from time to time on the basis of its opinion as to his/her contribution and/or future contribution to the development and growth of the Group.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Grant Date Limit

The Board or the Chairperson of the Board (as delegated by the Board) shall not grant any Award to any Selected Participant or give any direction or recommendation to the Trustees of the Plan with respect to the granting of an Award under, among other things, certain circumstances as set forth below:

(a) the granting of the Award would result in a breach of the plan limit;

In particular, no Award shall be granted during the period commencing 30 days immediately before the earlier of: (i) the date of the meeting of the Board (as such date is first notified to the Stock Exchange under the Listing Rules) for approving the results of the Company for any year, half-year, quarterly (if any) or any other interim period (whether or not required under the Listing Rules); and (ii) the deadline to announce the results for any year or half-year under the Listing Rules, or quarterly or any other interim period (whether or not required under the Listing Rules), and ending on the date of the results announcement of the Company.

Purchase Price of Awarded Shares

Subject to the Listing Rules, the purchase price of any Award, if any, shall be determined by the Board or the Chairperson of the Board (as delegated by the Board) in its sole discretion at the time when the relevant Award is granted (and stated in the notice of grant), taking into account factors such as the current closing price of the H Shares, the purpose of the plan, and the characteristics and background of the relevant participants.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(9) Vesting of the Awarded Shares

(B) if the Company offers to Shareholders new Shares or other securities for subscription by way of rights, options or warrants and no amount is required to be payable by the Shareholders for such rights, options or warrants, the Trustees may (after obtaining a written consent from the Board or the Chairperson of the Board (as delegated by the Board)) (i) sell any nil-paid rights, options or warrants allocated to the Awarded Shares held by the Trustees (if there is an open market for such rights, options or warrants), or (ii) take steps to exercise such nil-paid rights, options or warrants by applying the Group Contributions in the form of cash then held by the Trustees. For the avoidance of doubt, no Selected Participants shall have any right to, or interest in, any nil-paid rights, options or warrants (or the underlying Shares, or the proceeds of sale of any such nil-paid rights, options or warrants) allocated under such offer, or any Shares arising from the exercise of such nil-paid rights, options or warrants;


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(C) if the Company offers to the Shareholders new shares or other securities for subscription by way of rights, options, warrants or other open or preferential offer and consideration is required to be paid for the taking up and/or the exercise of such rights, options, warrants or open or preferential offer, the Trustees may (after obtaining a written consent from the Board or the Chairperson of the Board (as delegated by the Board)) (i) refuse to take up, purchase and/or subscribe for such rights, options or warrants or open or preferential offers, or (ii) take steps to take up, purchase and/or subscribe (in whole or in part) for such rights, options or warrants or open or preferential offers by applying the Group Contributions in the form of cash then held by the Trustees.

For the avoidance of doubt, no Selected Participants shall have any right to give any direction to, or make any claim against, the Trustees in relation to the making of the said election; and

(E) if a general or partial offer, whether by way of takeover offer, share repurchase offer or scheme of arrangement or otherwise in like manner is made to all Shareholders other than the offeror, any persons controlled by the offeror and any persons acting in association or concert with the offeror, and such offer becomes or is declared unconditional prior to the grant of the Awarded Shares to the relevant Selected Participants pursuant to the 2025 Share Award Plan, the Selected Participant shall be entitled to, subject to the direction of the Board or the Chairperson of the Board (as delegated by the Board), receive all of his Awarded Shares at any time before the expiry of the period of ten (10) business days following the date on which the offer becomes or is declared unconditional.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(11) Grant to any Director, Chief Executive or Substantial Shareholder of the Company, or any of his/her/its Respective Associates

Any grant of Awards to any Director, chief executive or substantial Shareholder, or any of his/her/its respective associates, shall be subject to the prior approval of the Board or the Remuneration Committee (excluding any member who is a proposed recipient of the grant of the Award) and the independent non-executive Directors of the Company (excluding any independent non-executive Director who is a proposed recipient of the grant of Awards). In addition:

(A) where any grant of Awards (excluding grant of share options) to any Director (other than an independent non-executive Director) or chief executive of the Company, or any of his/her/its 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 2025 Share Award Plan) 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 H Shares of the Company in issue (excluding treasury shares) at the date of such grant; or

(B) where any grant of Awards to an independent non-executive Director or substantial Shareholder (or any of his/her/its respective associates) would result in the number of Shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of all Awards already granted (excluding any Awards lapsed in accordance with the terms of the Plan) to such person in the 12 month period up to and including the date of such grant representing in aggregate over 0.1% (or such other higher percentage as may from time to time be specified by the Stock Exchange) of the H Shares of the Company in issue (excluding treasury shares),

such further grant of Awards must be approved by Shareholders in general meetings in the manner required, and subject to the requirements set out, in the Listing Rules.

The Company must comply with the relevant requirements of the Listing Rules.

  • 13 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(12) Voting Rights of H Shares in Shares Pool

The Trustees shall not exercise the voting rights in respect of any H Shares held under the trust constituted by the Trust Deeds (including but not limited to any Shares in the Shares Pool, the Awarded Shares, the returned Shares, any bonus Shares and scrip Shares). In particular, the Trustees holding unvested Shares under the 2025 Share Award Plan, whether directly or indirectly, shall abstain from voting on matters that require Shareholders’ approval under the Listing Rules, unless otherwise required by law to vote in accordance with the beneficial owner’s direction and such a direction is given.

(13) Lapse of Awards and Returned Shares

In the event that any Selected Participant who is an employee ceases to be an employee of the Group by virtue of the corporate reorganization of the Group, then any Award made to such Selected Participant shall forthwith lapse and be cancelled.

In the event (i) a Selected Participant ceases to be an employee of the Company other than for reason as provided in the 2025 Share Award Plan; or (ii) the subsidiary by which a Selected Participant is employed or, in respect of a deceased or retired Selected Participant under the 2025 Share Award Plan, was employed immediately prior to his death or retirement, ceases to be a subsidiary of the Company (or of a member of the Group); or (iii) the Selected Participant has been guilty of misconduct, or has committed any act of bankruptcy or has become insolvent or is subject to any winding-up, liquidation or analogous proceedings or has made any arrangement or composition with his creditors generally, or has been convicted any criminal offence involving his integrity or honesty; or (iv) the Selected Participant could no longer make any contribution to the growth and development of any member of the Group by reason of the cessation of its relationship with the Group or by any other reasons whatsoever; or (v) an order for the winding-up of the Company is made or a resolution is passed for the voluntary winding-up of the Company (otherwise than for the purposes of amalgamation or reconstruction), under which substantially all businesses, assets and liabilities of the Company shall be passed to a successor company, the Award shall automatically lapse forthwith and all the Awarded Shares shall not be vested on the relevant Vesting Date, and will be returned as Shares referred to in the scheme.

In the event that the Board or the Chairperson of the Board (as delegated by the Board) determines in its absolute discretion that any condition(s) and/or performance target(s) to be duly fulfilled by such Selected Participant as specified in the related Award Notice has not been duly fulfilled or has not been waived by the Board or the Chairperson of the Board (as delegated by the Board), the Board or the Chairperson of the Board (as delegated by the Board) shall be entitled to determine that the Award made to such Selected Participant shall lapse forthwith and the relevant Awarded Shares shall not vest on the relevant Vesting Date.

The Board is of the view that the lapse and clawback mechanism in the 2025 Share Award Plan provides the Company with an option to recover the equity incentives granted to the Selected Participants who have engaged in misconduct, which is consistent with the purpose of the 2025 Share Award Plan and the interests of the Shareholders.

The 2025 Share Award Plan shall terminate on the earlier of:

In respect of any such adjustments, other than any made on a capitalisation issue, an independent financial adviser or the Company's auditors must confirm to the Directors in writing that the adjustments satisfy the requirements under the Notes to Rules 17.03(13) of the Listing Rules.

8.3 Any grant of Awards to any Director, chief executive or substantial Shareholder of the Company, or any of his respective associates, shall be subject to the approval of the Board or the Remuneration Committee (excluding any member who is a proposed recipient of the grant of the Award) and the independent non-executive Directors of the Company (excluding any independent non-executive Director who is a proposed recipient of the grant of Awards). In addition:

(A) where any grant of Awards (excluding grant of share options) to any Director (other than an independent non-executive Director) or chief executive of the Company, or any of his 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 this Plan) 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 H Shares in issue at the date of such grant; or

(B) where any grant of Awards to an independent non-executive Director or substantial Shareholder of the Company (or any of his respective associates) would result in the number of Shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of all Awards already granted (excluding any Awards lapsed in accordance with the terms of the Plan) to such person in the 12 month period up to and including the date of such grant representing in aggregate over 0.1% (or such other higher percentage as may from time to time be specified by the Stock Exchange) of the H Shares in issue, such further grant of Awards must be approved by the Shareholders of the Company in a general meeting in the manner required, and subject to the requirements set out, in the Listing Rules. In particular, the Company send a circular to the Shareholders. The Selected Participants, his/her associates and all core connected persons of the Company must abstain from voting at such general meeting. The Company must comply with the requirements under Rules 13.40, 13.41 and 13.42 of the Listing Rules.


APPENDIX I

9.1 The Trustees shall not exercise the voting rights in respect of any Shares held under the trust constituted by the Trust Deeds (including but not limited to any Shares in the Shares Pool, the Awarded Shares, the Returned Shares, any bonus Shares and scrip Shares). In particular, the Trustees holding unvested Shares under the Plan, whether directly or indirectly, shall abstain from voting on matters that require Shareholders' approval under the Listing Rules, unless otherwise required by law to vote in accordance with the beneficial owner's direction and such a direction is given.

9.2 The Selected Participants shall not have any right to receive any Awarded Shares set aside for them pursuant to paragraph 4 unless and until the Trustees have transferred and vested the legal and beneficial ownership of such Awarded Shares to and in the Selected Participants in accordance with the terms thereof. For the avoidance of doubt:

(A) a Selected Participant shall only have a contingent interest in the Awarded Shares which vest in accordance with paragraph 6.1;

(B) a Selected Participant shall have no rights in the Residual Cash or any of the Returned Shares;

(C) no instruction may be given by a Selected Participant to the Trustees in respect of the Awarded Shares and/or the Other Distributions and/or such other properties or assets of the trust constituted by the Trust Deeds;

However, no such alteration shall operate to affect adversely any rights of any Selected Participant in respect of his Awarded Shares which remain unvested except with the consent in writing of the majority of the Selected Participants whose Awarded Shares remained unvested on that date (but, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding for this purpose any such Shares in respect of which that date is a Vesting Date).

11.3 In the event that the Award granted has been approved by the Board, the Remuneration Committee, the independent non-executive Directors and/or the Shareholders (as the case may be), any amendment to the terms of the proposed Award granted to the Selected Participants must also be approved by the Board, the Remuneration Committee, the independent non-executive Directors and/or the Shareholders (as the case may be). The above provisions do not apply where the alterations take effect automatically under the existing terms of this Plan.
