To: the Shareholders
Dear Sir or Madam,
AMENDMENTS TO THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME OF KINGSOFT CLOUD; REFRESHMENT OF SHARE OPTION SCHEME LIMIT; AND NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
1. INTRODUCTION
It is proposed that, subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Company and Kingsoft Cloud, certain provisions of the Share Option Scheme are to be amended. Pursuant to note (2) to rule 17.03(18) of the Listing Rules, any alterations to the terms of the Share Option Scheme which are of a material nature must be approved by the shareholders, unless where the alterations take effect automatically under the existing terms of the scheme. As the proposed amendment will not take effect automatically under the existing terms of the Share Option Scheme, resolutions will be proposed to the shareholders to amend the terms of the Share Option Scheme.
The Board also proposes to refresh the Share Option Scheme Limit so that the total number of Shares which may be issued by Kingsoft Cloud upon exercise of all Options to be granted is 94,750,000, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of EGM. Pursuant to rule 17.03(3)
— 3 —
LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
of the Listing Rules, Kingsoft Cloud may seek approval by the shareholders of the Company and Kingsoft Cloud in general meeting for “refreshing” the Share Option Scheme Limit.
2. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME
The Share Option Scheme was adopted on 27 February 2013.
The Board proposes to amend certain existing provisions in the Share Option Scheme. Details of, and explanations for, the proposed amendments are set out in the Appendix 1 to this circular. Apart from the proposed amendments as set out in the Appendix 1 to this circular, all other existing terms of the Share Option Scheme will remain unchanged.
Reasons for the Amendments
The Board considers that the proposed amendments to the Share Option Scheme would enhance Kingsoft Cloud’s capability to attract, motivate and retain its employees, and to closely align the interests of Kingsoft Cloud and the shareholders. It is important that Kingsoft Cloud provides the employees with further incentives by offering them an opportunity to obtain an interest in Kingsoft Cloud. Such incentives would create more value for Kingsoft Cloud and its shareholders by maximizing the enthusiasm of the employees and bring their initiatives into full play.
3. REFRESHMENT OF SHARE OPTION SCHEME LIMIT
The Share Option Scheme Limit was set at 5.37% of the Shares in issue as at the date of adoption of the Share Option Scheme in compliance with the Listing Rules. Subject to prior shareholders’ approval, the Company and Kingsoft Cloud may, at any time thereafter, refresh the Share Option Scheme Limit to the extent not exceeding 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of EGM.
As at the date of the adoption of the Share Option Scheme, the total number of Shares in issue was 922,000,000 Shares. Pursuant to the terms of the Share Option Scheme and in compliance with the Listing Rules, Kingsoft Cloud was authorised to grant Options to subscribe for up to a maximum number of 49,550,000 Shares. As at the Latest Practicable Date, 48,700,000 Options were granted out of which 20,200,000 Options had lapsed and can be re-issued pursuant to the terms of the Share Option Scheme and 850,000 Options were not granted. As the Share Option Scheme Limit has not been refreshed since its adoption, there are 21,050,000 Options available to be granted pursuant to the terms of the Share Option Scheme and in compliance with the Listing Rules.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares in issue was 947,500,000. Pursuant to the terms of the Share Option Scheme and in compliance with the Listing Rules, if the Share Option Scheme Limit is refreshed, on the basis of 947,500,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that no Shares will be issued or repurchased by Kingsoft Cloud prior to the EGM, the Share Option Scheme Limit will be re-set at 10% of the total issued Shares and Kingsoft Cloud will be allowed to grant Options under the Share Option Scheme carrying the rights to subscribe for a maximum of 10% Shares in issue as at the date of EGM (i.e. 94,750,000 Options and assuming that no Shares will be issued or repurchased by Kingsoft Cloud from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of EGM). For the avoidance of doubt, Options previously granted under the Share Option Scheme (including those outstanding, cancelled, lapsed in accordance with the Share Option Scheme or exercised Options) will not be counted for the purpose of calculating Refreshed Share Option Scheme Limit. For the avoidance of doubt, the 20,200,000 lapsed Options and 850,000 un-granted Options will no longer be available to be granted upon refreshment of the Share Option Scheme Limit.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Assuming that no Options will be granted, cancelled or lapsed from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of EGM and assuming that no Shares will be issued or repurchased by Kingsoft Cloud from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of EGM, a total of 123,250,000 Options under the Share Option Scheme of which 28,500,000 Options were previously granted pursuant to the Share Option Scheme Limit and 94,750,000 Options may be granted upon refreshment of the same.
Pursuant to the Listing Rules, the Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding Options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme or other schemes at any time should not exceed 30% of the Shares in issue from time to time. No Options shall be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any scheme(s) of Kingsoft Cloud or any of its subsidiaries if this will result in the 30% limit being exceeded.
4. CONDITIONS OF THE PROPOSED SCHEME REFRESHMENT
The Proposed Scheme Refreshment is conditional upon the passing of the necessary ordinary resolution by the shareholders of Kingsoft Cloud and the Company at the EGM to approve the Proposed Scheme Refreshment.
The Board considers that it is in the interests of the Company and Kingsoft Cloud to refresh the Share Option Scheme Limit so as to provide Kingsoft Cloud with fl exibility to grant further Options under the Share Option Scheme and to provide opportunities and incentives to the employees of Kingsoft Cloud and other selected grantees which the directors of the Company and Kingsoft Cloud consider to be in the interest of the Company and Kingsoft Cloud and their shareholders as a whole. The Board therefore seeks the approval of the shareholders of the Company and Kingsoft Cloud at the EGM to refresh the Share Option Scheme Limit.
5. EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
An EGM notice is set out on pages 11 to 12 of this circular.
A form of proxy for the EGM is enclosed herewith. Whether or not you intend to attend and vote at the EGM in person, you are requested to complete the form of proxy and return it to the Company’s branch registrar in Hong Kong Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong in accordance with the instructions printed thereon as soon as practicable but in any event no later than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the EGM. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting at the EGM, or any adjournment thereof, in person should you so wish.

6. RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

The directors of the Company, having made all reasonable enquiries, confi rm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.

APPENDIX 1
6. Rights on Repurchase of Shares between Kingsoft Cloud and the Grantee
| Existing Provision |
Proposed Revised Provision |
||
|---|---|---|---|
| 6.07(a) | all or any part of the Shares allotted to him/her upon the exercise of an Option at a price mutually agreed between the Company and the Grantee, which shall in no event exceed IP × [1+ (0.01 × N)] per Share (the “Maximum Repurchase Price”), where IP = the lowest of (a) US$0.02 per Share, (b) the fair market value per Share appraised by a qualif ed and independent third party designated by the Board in good faith, and (c) the price per Share applied in the latest private f nancing during the past six (6) months; and N = (a) zero (0), if such Grantee ceases to be a Participant prior to the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Commencement Date, or (b) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days between the Commencement Date and the date of such Grantee ceasing to be a Participant, and the denominator of which is 365, if such Grantee ceases to be a Participant on or after the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Commencement Date); |
6.07(a) | all or any part of the Shares allotted to him/her upon the exercise of an Option at a price mutually agreed between the Company and the Grantee, which, unless otherwise determined by the Board in its absolute discretion, shall in no event exceed IP × [1+ (0.01 × N)] per Share (the “Maximum Repurchase Price”), where IP = the lowest of (a) the Subscription Price applicable to the Option held by such Grantee, (b) the fair market value per Share appraised by a qualif ed and independent third party designated by the Board in good faith, and (c) the price per Share applied in the latest private f nancing during the past six (6) months; and N = (a) zero (0), if such Grantee ceases to be a Participant prior to the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Commencement Date, or (b) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days between the Commencement Date and the date of such Grantee ceasing to be a Participant, and the denominator of which is 365, if such Grantee ceases to be a Participant on or after the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Commencement Date); |
Reasons for amendments
It is proposed that the existing provision in the Share Option Scheme in relation to the rights on repurchase of Shares between Kingsoft Cloud and the grantee be amended since Kingsoft Cloud may grant Options at different stages and the subscription price for each grant may be different. Therefore, the original term of “IP = the lowest of (a) US$0.02 per Share” is not applicable since there will be more grants in the future.

Reasons for amendments
