LETTER FROM THE BOARD
As Mr. XIE, Mr. ZHANG and Mr. LIU are executive Directors, the proposed grant of Share Options to Mr. XIE, Mr. ZHANG and Mr. LIU were approved by all the independent non-executive Directors on 10 May 2018 in accordance with Rule 17.04(1) of the Listing Rules. As Mr. XIE is also a Substantial Shareholder, the Proposed Grant is subject to the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the EGM.
Save as disclosed above, none of the Grantees or their respective associates is a Director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of the Company.
None of the Directors in the trustee of the Share Option Scheme or has direct or indirect interest in the trustee of the Share Option Scheme.
REASONS FOR THE GRANT OF SHARE OPTIONS
In order to recognize the past and continuous contribution of the Grantees (including Mr. XIE) to the business development and performance of the Group, the grant of Share Options to the Grantees, of which the Proposed Grant forms part, is to serve as an appreciation of the dedication and efforts of the Grantees and as an incentive for their continuing commitment and contribution to the growth of the Group in the future. Performance targets have to be achieved before the Share Options can be exercised.
The grant of Share Options serves as an incentive for their continuing commitment and to retain the talents in the Group, in particular to Mr. XIE who is our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, so that sustainable operations of the Group can be maintained. As disclosed in the Company’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2017, Mr. XIE is primarily responsible for our Group’s overall strategic planning, and the management of our Group’s business and has devoted his service to the Group for over 12 years. He led the Group to reach certain major achievements, including but not limited to the successful listing of the Company on GEM in 2011, the Transfer of Listing from GEM to the Main Board in 2013, and the rapid development of the Company’s business. Specifically, the basis of the number of Share Options to be granted to Mr. XIE (i.e. 33,268,000 Share Options) are based on the following consideration:
Over the past years, under the leadership of Mr. XIE, the Group has expanded its product range in three main product lines, including structural heart diseases business, peripheral vascular diseases business and cardiac pacing and electrophysiology business. With the innovation of technology, the Company entered the overseas market from domestic market successfully in order to shape the global landscape by providing Chinese technology support to the world. At the same time, Mr. XIE has made tremendous contribution to the Company in respect of the launch of a wide range of new products of the Company, including the following main products:
- (a) As LAmbre™LAA with our proprietary intellectual property rights was launched in Europe and China respectively in 2016 and 2017, it became the only LAA closure product from a Chinese brand sold in the global market currently.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
-
(b) The HeartTone™implantable cardiac pacemaker has been approved by the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA), which represented the innovation of the first domestically-made pacemaker system and provides Chinese patients with a new affordable and effective clinical solution.
-
(c) The first human implantation of the IBS™sirolimus-eluting iron absorbable coronary stent system developed by LifeTech was performed successfully in 2018, which has been affirmed and highly praised by the experts in the industry. It also became the first and the only sirolimus-eluting iron absorbable coronary stent currently worldwide. Once it has been approved to be launched in the market, it will bring great benefits to a vast number of patients and create a new revenue stream for the Company.
Mr. XIE will lead the Company to continuously expand the Group’s product range and explore substantial business opportunities in the future, so as to enhance the Company’s competitiveness and market position in current key markets as well as selective new markets. As a responsible enterprise leader, Mr. XIE has also made substantial efforts in encouraging the Company to care for society and make contributions to the community. The Company has collaborated with the medical institutions globally to perform voluntary treatment and serve the patients in need by leveraging the proprietary medical technologies.
His past contribution to the Group can also be reflected in the favourable performance of the financial results of the Group, including the increase in turnover and operating profit, in the latest five years as disclosed in the Company’s previous annual reports.
Mr. XIE will continue to guide the Board in strategies development as well as overseeing the business operations and products innovation of the Group, and is expected to contribute to the future development of the Company in the following manner:
-
(a) Launching products of the Company in a variety of countries;
-
(b) Improving the research and development capabilities of the Company’s products and the standard of production; and
-
(c) Seek new investments opportunities to strengthen the competitiveness of the Company.
As disclosed above, performance targets have to be achieved before the Share Options can be exercised and the quantity granted or to be granted to all the Grantees (including Mr. XIE) is to be justified by the performance targets. The Company will refer to the annual performance appraisal plan (年度績效考核方案) (the “ Plan ”) to measure the achievement of the performance targets of all the Grantees (including Mr. XIE). According to the Plan, all performance appraisals will be conducted based on the principles of consistency, objectivity, fairness, transparency and confidentiality. The performance of the Directors and the senior management of the Company will be assessed by their individual annual performance and the performance of the financial results of the Group for a given year. In order to determine the individual annual performance, certain factors will be considered, such as an individual’s core management ability, communication skill, implementation ability and innovation ability. Besides, the performance of the financial results of the Group for a given year will be compared to the Group’s performance of the previous financial year. Upon completion of the
−7 −
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
assessment, Mr. XIE will be graded with the performance standard in accordance with the Plan, which is categorised into four grades, including “A grade” for 90 points or more, “B grade” for 80 to 89 points, “C grade” for 70 to 79 points, “D grade” for 60 to 69 points,and “E grade” for less than 60 points.
Mr. XIE is only entitled to exercise the relevant tranche of Share Options for a given year when he achieves the required performance targets as appraised according to the Plan. In the event Mr. XIE fails to achieve the required performance targets for the given year, the relevant tranche of the Share Options which may otherwise be exercisable shall automatically lapse. The performance standard set for Mr. XIE in order for him to entitle to each tranche of Share Options is “B grade” or above.
