Performance target
: There is no performance target attached to the Share Options granted. The purpose of the 2022 Share Option Scheme is to recognise and acknowledge the contributions that the eligible participants have made or may make to the Group, and to motivate the eligible participants to optimise their performance and efficiency for the benefit of the Group, as well as to attract and retain the eligible participants whose contributions are, will or are expected to be beneficial to the Group. The number of Share Options to be granted is based on the work performance and potential contributions of the Grantee and no additional performance target is imposed before the Share Options are vested to the Grantee. Further, the vesting period of the Share Options can safeguard the interest of the Group to allow the Group to retain the relevant employee to make contributions to the Group. In view of the above, the remuneration committee of the Company considered the grant of Share Options aligned with the purpose of the 2022 Share Option Scheme.
Clawback mechanism
: All Share Options are subject to clawback mechanism as already set out in the existing terms of the 2022 Share Option Scheme. Under the terms of the 2022 Share Option Scheme, if a Grantee ceases to be an eligible participant of the Group by reason of the termination of his relationship with the Group as a result of the Grantee (i) being guilty of serious misconduct; (ii) having committed an act of bankruptcy or has become insolvent or has made any arrangements or composition with his or her creditors generally; (iii) having been convicted of any criminal offence involving his or her integrity or honesty; or (iv) on any other ground as determined by the Board that would warrant the termination of his employment at common law or pursuant to any applicable laws or under the service contract between the Grantee and the Group, any unexercised share option held by such Grantee shall lapse on the date of cessation and not be exercisable.
Financial support
: The Group has not provided any financial assistance to the Grantee to facilitate the purchase of Shares under the 2022 Share Option Scheme.

The Grant of Options is not subject to approval by the Shareholders.
