LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The purpose of the Scheme is to provide incentives or rewards to eligible individuals who contribute to and are devoted to promoting the interests of the Group. As Mr. Zhu has outstanding contribution to the Group, including the rapid business development of Joy Spreader International, the Remuneration Committee considers that the grant of the Award Shares to Mr. Zhu is consistent with the purpose of the Scheme.

The Remuneration Committee and the Board are of the view that the grant of shares of Joy Spreader International with a shorter vesting period can align the interests of Mr. Zhu with the interests of the Company and the Shareholders, reward and incentivize Mr. Zhu to contribute to the success of the Group, and reinforce his commitments to serve the Group in the long term. The Remuneration Committee considers that the arrangement of shorter vesting period is appropriate and is consistent with the purpose of the Scheme.

  • Conditions of Award Shares :

  • The vesting of the Award Shares under the Conditional Grant is subject to the achievement of specified performance targets.

The performance targets of the Conditional Grant of shares of Joy Spreader International include:

  • (a) Operational performance targets: enhance brand equity of Joy Spreader International, promote operational efficiency of Joy Spreader International, strengthen the standard of corporate governance and create a good corporate culture, so as to improve the overall operational capacity and efficiency of Joy Spreader International; and

  • (b) Financial performance target: the revenues of Joy Spreader International for 2023 and the first half of 2024 (unaudited).

Joy Spreader International has targeted its sales in the emerging economies of Southeast Asia since it started to lay out its overseas E-commerce business in 2021. By 2022, Joy Spreader International has entered four countries in Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Reasons for the Conditional Grant

The Board (including all the independent non-executive Directors but excluding Mr. Zhu who has abstained from voting on the Board resolution to approve the grant of the shares of Joy Spreader International) considers that the grant of the shares of Joy Spreader International to Mr. Zhu will:

(i) recognize and appreciate Mr. Zhu’s dedication and significant efforts and contributions to the Group in leading the Group including Joy Spreader International to achieve its corporate performance goals and development in 2022, (ii) encourage Mr. Zhu to further leverage his industry expertise and resources in his efforts to enhance the value of the Company and the Shares in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and (iii) stimulate Mr. Zhu’s continuous commitment and contributions to the future growth of the Group and Joy Spreader International by further aligning the long-term interests of the Company with his significant contributions. For the development of the Group’s overseas E-commerce business, Mr. Zhu has contributed great resources to the Group and Joy Spreader International, including but not limited to the construction and establishment of independent overseas E-commerce websites, the procurement of electronic products at favorable prices and the negotiation and signing of contracts, the negotiation of commercial terms with suppliers, the expansion and development of the Southeast Asia market and the proposed development of overseas markets such as South America and Europe. Vesting of the shares of Joy Spreader International under the Conditional Grant is conditional on the achievement of performance targets.

In addition, the Conditional Grant fulfills the purpose of the Scheme due to the reason that vesting of the shares of Joy Spreader International under the Conditional Grant is subject to Mr. Zhu’s achievement of the relevant performance targets. Since Mr. Zhu has the opportunity to obtain the shares of Joy Spreader International, the Conditional Grant will motivate Mr. Zhu to constantly make contributions to Joy Spreader International and improve its business. The nil consideration was also determined to recognize the past contribution made by Mr. Zhu to the Group’s overseas E-commerce business and to provide incentives for his continuous contribution to the Group.

Having considered the above factors, the Board (including all of the independent non-executive Directors but excluding Mr. Zhu who has abstained from voting on the Board resolution to approve the grant of the shares of Joy Spreader International) considers that the grant of the shares of Joy Spreader International and the terms thereof are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and therefore recommends the independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the proposed grant of the shares of Joy Spreader International to Mr. Zhu to be proposed at the EGM. The Remuneration Committee is of the view that the grant of the shares of Joy Spreader International to Mr. Zhu is appropriate and consistent with the purpose of the Scheme.

A SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF JOY SPREADER INTERNATIONAL SHARE AWARD SCHEME

APPENDIX I

Subject to the Scheme rules, Joy Spreader International Share Award Scheme shall be valid and effective for the award period (after which no further awards will be granted), and thereafter for so long as there are any unvested Award Shares granted hereunder prior to the expiration of Joy Spreader International Share Award Scheme, in order to give effect to the vesting of such Award Shares or otherwise as may be required in accordance with the provisions of Joy Spreader International Share Award Scheme.

4. PERFORMANCE TARGETS AND CLAWBACK MECHANISM

The Board may, in accordance with the Scheme rules, the Listing Rules and any applicable laws and regulations, at its discretion specify in the award letter of the grant of the relevant award any condition which must be satisfied before the Award Shares may be vested. Performance-based vesting conditions primarily include, but not limited to, and where appropriate, (i) financial performance (e.g. revenue, profit, cash flow, return on equity, market capitalization, etc.), (ii) operational performance (e.g. operation efficiency in corporate governance, improvement in internal control), and (iii) the individual’s overall performance indicators (e.g. leadership abilities, research and development abilities, business development capabilities, resources development capabilities, interdepartmental coordination capabilities, attendance rate, etc.).

In terms of performance-based vesting conditions, the human resources and/or finance department will propose the performance-target(s) of each grantee to the Board and/or the Remuneration Committee for consideration, who will assess and confirm the suitableness of the target(s). An explanation of such target(s) and the individual’s performance will be specified in the relevant announcement (if applicable) when granting the awards. When assessing whether a grantee has met the performance targets set out in the relevant award letter, the Board and/or the Remuneration Committee will compare the grantee’s actual performance, achievement and contribution in the past financial year against the performance targets set for him/her, and then form a majority opinion as to whether the relevant performance targets have been fulfilled.

Performance targets for grant of awards to the Directors and senior management are subject to approval of the Remuneration Committee and other applicable requirements under the Listing Rules. The Company shall assess and evaluate the scope of performance targets regularly, taking into account relevant circumstantial factors, such like, the average level of performance of all employees in relevant years, the importance of such individual’s achievement to the Group, the role and position of such individual in the Group, etc. Specific weightings will be given to the various factors mentioned above in order to conduct a fair and objective assessment.

The Award Shares, once issued to the Selected Participants upon the Vesting Date, will rank pari passu to all other fully paid shares in issue.

Persons who are required to abstain from voting in favor at the general meeting pursuant to Rule 17.04(4) of the Listing Rules may vote against the resolution at the general meeting of the Company, provided that their intention to do so has been stated in the relevant circular to the Shareholders. Any vote taken at the general meeting to approve the grant of such awards must be taken by poll and is subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules. The circular must contain:

The Stock Exchange may consider granting a waiver to permit a transfer to a vehicle (such as a trust or a private company) for the benefit of the participant and any family members of such participant (e.g., for estate planning or tax planning purposes) that would still satisfy the purpose of the Scheme and comply with Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules.

For the avoidance of doubt, the awards do not carry any right to vote at general meetings of the Company or Joy Spreader International, or any dividend, transfer or other rights (including those arising on the liquidation of Joy Spreader International). No grantee shall enjoy any of the rights of a shareholder of Joy Spreader International by virtue of the grant of an award under the Scheme, unless and until the Award Shares underlying the award are actually allotted and issued or transferred (as the case may be) to the grantee pursuant to the vesting or exercise of such award.

If there is a change in control of the Company by way of a merger, a privatization of the Company by way of a scheme or by way of an offer, the Board or the committee of the Board or person to whom the Board has delegated its authority shall at its sole discretion determine whether the Vesting Dates of any awards granted will be accelerated.

In the event that Joy Spreader International undertakes a capitalization issue, rights issue, sub-division or consolidation of shares or reduction of capital, corresponding changes will be made to the number of outstanding Award Shares that have been granted, provided that the adjustments shall be made on the basis that the Selected Participants must be given the same proportion of the equity capital, rounded to the nearest whole share of Joy Spreader International as that to which that person was previously entitled, and in such manner as the Board deems fair and reasonable in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under Joy Spreader International Share Award Scheme for the Selected Participants. However, no such adjustments may be made to the extent that a share of Joy Spreader International would be issued at less than its nominal value, and the issue of securities of Joy Spreader International as consideration in a transaction shall not be regarded as a circumstance requiring any such adjustment. All fractional shares of Joy Spreader International (if any) resulting from such consolidation or sub-division in respect of the Award Shares of a Selected Participant shall be deemed forfeited and shall not be transferred to the relevant Selected Participant on the relevant Vesting Date. Save for the case of capitalization issue, the auditors or independent financial advisers for the time being of the Company must confirm to the Directors in writing that such adjustment(s) satisfy the aforesaid requirements.
