To further establish and improve the Company's long-term incentive mechanism, attract and retain outstanding talents, fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the Company's core team, effectively align the interests of shareholders, the Company, and employees, and ensure all parties focus on the Company's long-term development, the Incentive Plan is formulated in accordance with the principles of matching rewards with contributions and with full protection of shareholders' interests, pursuant to the Company Law, the Securities Law, the Administrative Measures and other relevant laws, administrative regulations, normative documents and the Articles of Association.
I. The Shareholders' Meeting, as the highest authority of the Company, shall be responsible for considering and approving the implementation, change and termination of the Incentive Plan. The Shareholders' Meeting may, within the scope of its authority, authorize the Board to handle certain matters relating to the Incentive Plan.
II. The Board is the executive governing body of the Incentive Plan and is responsible for the implementation of the Incentive Plan. The Remuneration and Assessment Committee under the Board is responsible for formulating and revising the Incentive Plan and submitting it to the Company's Board for deliberation. After the Board reviews and approves the Incentive Plan, it shall be submitted to the Company's Shareholders' Meeting for approval. The Board shall handle matters related to the Incentive Plan within the scope authorized by the Shareholders' Meeting.
III. The Board's Remuneration and Assessment Committee is the supervisory body of the Incentive Plan, and shall express opinions on whether the Incentive Plan is conducive to the sustainable development of the Company and whether there are any circumstances that significantly harm the interests of the Company and all its shareholders. The Board's Remuneration and Assessment Committee shall review the list of incentive recipients under the Incentive Plan, and supervise whether the implementation of the Incentive Plan complies with relevant laws, administrative regulations, normative documents and business rules of the Stock Exchange.

V. Before the Company grants the rights and interests to the incentive recipients, the Board's Remuneration and Assessment Committee shall issue clear opinions on the conditions for the incentive recipients to be granted the rights and interests set out in the Incentive Plan.

VI. Before the incentive recipients exercise their rights and interests, the Board's Remuneration and Assessment Committee shall issue clear opinions on whether the conditions for the incentive recipients to exercise their rights and interests set in the Incentive Plan have been met.

The incentive recipients under the Incentive Plan are determined in accordance with the Company Law, the Securities Law, the Administrative Measures and other relevant laws, regulations, normative documents and the Articles of Association, and in combination with the actual situation of the Company.
(II) Post basis for determining incentive recipients
The incentive recipients involved in the Incentive Plan are the middle and senior officers, core technical (business) backbone staff, as well as other employees whom the Company considers deserving of incentive and who have a direct impact on the Company's operating performance and future development, all of whom are employed by the Company (including its controlled subsidiaries) at the time of the announcement of the draft Incentive Plan.
The Incentive Plan grants a total of 260 incentive recipients, including middle and senior officers, core technical (business) backbone staff, as well as other employees whom the Company considers deserving of incentive and who have a direct impact on the Company's operating performance and future development, all of whom are employed by the Company (including its controlled subsidiaries) at the time of the announcement of the draft Incentive Plan.
The above incentive recipients exclude the Company's independent directors, shareholders or actual controllers individually or jointly holding more than 5% of the Company's shares, and their spouses, parents and children. All incentive recipients must have an employment or labor relationship with the Company or its controlled subsidiaries at the time of stock option grant and during the assessment period specified in the Incentive Plan.
The above incentive recipients include a number of foreign employees. The Company has included them in the Incentive Plan because: the Company is committed to the international development strategy, and the foreign employees included as incentive recipients play important roles to varying degrees in the Company's daily management, technology, business and operation. Equity incentive is a commonly used incentive means for overseas companies. Foreign employees are familiar with the remuneration model that combines cash remuneration with equity incentives. The implementation of equity incentive will help stabilize existing foreign talents and attract new outstanding talents. The Incentive Plan will further promote the construction and stability of the Company's talent team, thus contributing to its longterm development.

After the Incentive Plan is reviewed and approved by the Board and before the Shareholders' Meeting, the Company will internally publicize the names and positions of the incentive recipients for a publicity period of no less than 10 days.

| Achievement of any one of the following assessment |
||||||
| objectives shall suffice: | ||||||
| First | exercise Taking the net profit in 2024 as the base, the net profit growth |
|||||
| period | rate in 2025 is not less than 200%; | |||||
| Taking the operating revenue of 2024 as the base, the | ||||||
| operating revenue growth rate in 2025 is not less than 30%. | ||||||
| Achievement of any one of the following assessment |
||||||
| objectives shall suffice: | ||||||
| Second | exercise Taking the net profit in 2024 as the base, the net profit growth |
|||||
| period | rate in 2026 is not less than 300%; | |||||
| Taking the operating revenue of 2024 as the base, the | ||||||
| operating revenue growth rate in 2026 is not less than 50%. |
Note: The above-mentioned "net profit" indicator is calculated on the basis of the audited net profit attributable to shareholders of the Company, excluding the impact of share-based payment expenses in the current year involved in all equity incentive plans and/or ESOPs of the Company within the validity period.
If the Company fails to meet any of the above performance assessment objectives, all stock options that are exercisable in the corresponding exercise period granted to the incentive recipients shall not be exercised and shall be canceled by the Company.
(IV) Individual-level performance assessment requirements
The Incentive Plan will implement personal performance assessments in accordance with the Company's performance assessment system. The assessment years are 2025 and 2026. The number of options that an incentive recipient may exercise in each period shall be determined based on their individual assessment results, as detailed below:
| Performance | Excellent | Good | Pass | Fail |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| assessment results | ||||
| Individual | ||||
| exercise | 1.0 | 1.0 | 0.8 | 0 |
| coefficient |
Subject to the fulfillment of the Company-level performance assessment criteria, the number of exercisable options for the current period shall be determined based on the individual assessment results of the incentive recipient during the exercise assessment year.
Number of options exercisable by an incentive recipient in the current period = number of options planned to be exercised by the individual in the current year × individual exercise coefficient. If any options planned to be exercised by an incentive recipient in the current period cannot be exercised or cannot be fully exercised due to assessment results, such options shall be cancelled by the Company and cannot be deferred to the next year. The specific assessment details of the Incentive Plan shall be implemented in accordance with the Company's Administrative Measures for Assessment.
The Incentive Plan establishes assessment indicators at two levels: company-level performance assessment and individual-level performance assessment.
Regarding the Company-level performance assessment indicators, and with the goal of aligning the Company's steady future development with incentive effectiveness, net profit and operating revenue have been selected as assessment indicators after comprehensive consideration of the Company's historical performance, future strategic planning, and industry characteristics. Such indicators serve as important indicators reflecting the Company's operational status, market share, and potential for future business expansion. The setting of these indicators is reasonable and scientific.
In addition to the company-level performance assessment, the Company has also set up a rigorous performance evaluation system for individuals to make a more accurate and comprehensive evaluation of the work performance of the incentive recipients. The Company will determine whether the incentive recipients meet the conditions for exercise according to the annual performance assessment results of the incentive recipients.
In summary, the assessment system of the Company's current Incentive Plan is comprehensive, integrated, and operable. The setting of assessment indicators is highly scientific and reasonable, while an appropriate level of challenge will create a positive incentive effect on the incentive recipients. It balances the needs and interests of shareholders, the Company, and the incentive recipients, thereby promoting sustained mutual benefits for all three parties.
(I) The Board's Remuneration and Assessment Committee is responsible for preparing the draft and summary of the Incentive Plan and submitting them to the Board for deliberation.
(II) The Company's Board shall adopt a resolution regarding the Incentive Plan in accordance with the law. When the Board considers the Incentive Plan, any director who is an incentive recipient or has affiliated relations with an incentive recipient shall recuse himself/herself from voting. The Board shall submit the Incentive Plan to the Shareholders' Meeting for deliberation after deliberating and approving the Incentive Plan and performing the publicity and announcement procedures. Simultaneously, it shall submit to the Shareholders' Meeting for authorization to implement the granting, registration, adjustment, exercise and cancellation of stock options.
(III) The Board's Remuneration and Assessment Committee shall express opinions on whether the Incentive Plan is conducive to the sustainable development of the Company and whether there are any circumstances that significantly harm the interests of the Company and all its shareholders. The lawyer hired by the Company issues a legal opinion on the Incentive Plan.
(IV) The Incentive Plan may be implemented only after it has been reviewed and approved by the Company's Shareholders' Meeting. The Company shall publicize the names and positions of incentive recipients within the Company through the Company's website or other channels before convening the Shareholders' Meeting, and the publicity period shall not be less than 10 days.

The Company shall disclose the announcement of the resolution of the Board in a timely manner after the incentive recipients exercise their options, and announce the opinions of the Board's Remuneration and Assessment Committee and the law firm, as well as the relevant implementation details.
(II) Prior to any exercise of stock options, the Company shall submit an application to the Stock Exchange, and upon confirmation by the Stock Exchange, the Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation shall handle the share exercise.
(III) If the exercise of options by the incentive recipients involves a change in the registered capital, the Company shall apply to the business registration department for the registration of the change of the Company's affairs. The Company may, based on actual circumstances, offer incentive recipients either a centralized exercise method or an autonomous exercise method for their options.
(I) If the Company intends to change the Incentive Plan before the Shareholders' Meeting deliberates and approves it, it shall be reviewed and approved by the Board.

Prior to the exercise of incentive recipients, in case of the Company's conversion of capital reserves into share capital, distribution of stock dividends, share splits, rights issues, or reverse stock split, etc., the stock option quantity shall be adjusted accordingly. The adjustment method is as follows:
(I) Capitalization of capital reserve, distribution of stock dividends and stock split
Q =Q0× (1+n)
Where: Q0 is the number of stock options before adjustment; N is the ratio of capitalization of capital reserve, stock dividend, or stock split per share (i.e., the increase in the number of shares per share after capitalization, dividend, or split); Q is the number of stock options after adjustment.
(II) Rights issue
Q=Q0×P1×(1+n)÷(P1+P2×n)
Where: Q0 is the number of stock options before adjustment; P1 is the closing price on the equity registration date; P2 is the rights issue price; N is the ratio of the rights issue (i.e., the ratio of the number of rights shares to the total share capital of the Company before the rights issue); Q is the number of stock options after adjustment.
(III) Reverse stock split
Q =Q0×n
Where: Q0 is the number of stock options before adjustment; N is the reverse split ratio (i.e., one share of the Company is consolidated into n shares); Q is the number of stock options after adjustment.
(IV) Additional issuance and dividend payment
The number of stock options shall not be adjusted in the event of new share issuances or dividend distributions by the Company.
If events of the Company such as capitalization of capital reserve, stock dividend, stock split, rights issue, reverse stock split, or dividend payments occur before the incentive recipients exercise their options, the exercise price shall be adjusted accordingly.The adjustment method is as follows:
(I) Capitalization of capital reserve, distribution of stock dividends and stock split
P =P0÷(1+n)
Where: P0 is the exercise price before adjustment; N is the ratio of capitalization of capital reserve, stock dividend, or stock split per share; P is the exercise price after adjustment.
(II) Rights issue
P=P0×(P1+P2×n)÷[P1×(1+n)]
Where: P0 is the exercise price before adjustment; P1 is the closing price on the equity registration date; P2 is the rights issue price; N is the ratio of the rights issue (i.e., the ratio of the number of rights shares to the total share capital of the Company before the rights issue); P is the exercise price after adjustment.
(III) Reverse stock split
P=P0÷n
Where: P0 is the exercise price before adjustment; N is the reverse stock split ratio; P is the exercise price after adjustment.
(IV) Dividend payments
P =P0-V
Where: P0 is the exercise price before adjustment; V is the amount of dividend paid per share; P is the exercise price after adjustment. After dividend payment adjustments, P must still be positive.
(V) Additional share issue
In the event that the Company issues new shares, the exercise price of stock options are not adjusted.
The Shareholders' Meeting of the Company authorizes the Board of the Company to adjust the number of stock options and the exercise price according to the reasons set out in the Incentive Plan. In case of any of the foregoing circumstances, the Board of the Company shall deliberate and adopt a proposal on adjusting the number of stock options and the exercise price. The Company shall engage a lawyer to provide professional opinions on whether the above adjustments comply with the provisions of the Administrative Measures, the Articles of Association and the Incentive Plan. After the adjustment proposal is deliberated and approved by the Board, the Company shall timely disclose the announcement of the resolution of the Board and the legal opinions.
In accordance with the relevant provisions of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 11 - Share-based Payment and Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments, the Company will, on each balance sheet date during the vesting period, revise the estimated number of stock options expected to vest based on subsequent information such as the latest changes in the number of eligible participants and the completion status of performance indicators. The services obtained in the current period will be recognized as related costs or expenses and capital reserve, based on the fair value of the stock options on the grant date.
The Company selects the Black-Scholes model to calculate the fair value of the options, and uses the model to measure 20 million stock options granted on September 25, 2025. The specific parameters are selected as follows:
(I) Underlying share price: RMB 14.12/share (assumed to be calculated based on closing price of the Company's stock on September 25, 2025, with the final price subject to the closing price on the actual grant date);
(II) Validity period: 1 year, 2 years (the period from the grant date of the stock options to the first exercise date of each vesting period);
(III) Historical volatility: 19.63%, 16.92% (using the volatility of the SSE Index over the most recent 1 year and 2 years, respectively);
(IV) Risk-free Rate: 1.50% and 2.10% (with the 1-year and 2-year benchmark deposit rates set by the People's Bank of China for financial institutions used as the proxies, respectively);
(V) Dividend Yield: 2.53% (based on the company's dividend payments over the most recent fiscal year).
The Company determines the fair value of the stock option on the grant date in accordance with relevant valuation tools, and finally recognizes the share-based payment expenses of the Incentive Plan, which will be amortized according to the exercise ratio during the implementation of the Incentive Plan. Incentive costs arising from the Incentive Plan will be recorded as recurring profit or loss.
Assuming the stock options are granted in October 2025, the impact of the stock options granted under the Incentive Plan on the accounting costs for each period, as required by Chinese Accounting Standards, is shown in the table below:
| Number of stock options (Unit: 10,000) |
Total expenses to be amortized (Unit: RMB 10,000) |
2025 (Unit: RMB 10,000) |
2026 (Unit: RMB 10,000) |
2027 (Unit: RMB 10,000) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2,000 | 2,316.10 | 280.63 | 1,508.52 | 526.95 |
Note: 1. The above cost amortization forecast does not represent the final accounting cost. The actual accounting cost depends not only on the actual grant date, closing price on the grant date, and the number of options granted but also on the actual number of options that vest or lapse. Shareholders are also reminded to note the potential dilutive effect.
Any minor discrepancies between the sum of individual items and the corresponding totals above are due to rounding.
The final impact of the above cost amortization forecast on the Company's operating results will be subject to the annual auditors' report issued by the accounting firm.
The costs associated with the Incentive Plan shall be amortized over the vesting period and recognized in the cost and expense accounts of each period. Based on currently available information and without considering the motivational effects of the Incentive Plan on the Company's performance, the cost amortization of the Incentive Plan is estimated to have a certain impact on annual net profits during the validity period. However, given the positive impact of the Incentive Plan on the Company's operational development, including enhanced motivation among management and business teams, improved operational efficiency, and reduced operating costs, the resulting performance gains brought by the Incentive Plan are expected to significantly outweigh the incremental costs, thereby effectively safeguarding the enhancement of the Company's overall value and the interests of all shareholders.
(I) The Company has the right to interpret and implement the Incentive Plan, conduct performance assessment of incentive recipients, and supervise and review whether incentive recipients continue to qualify for exercise. If an incentive recipient fails to meet the exercise conditions, the stock options that have been granted but not yet exercised shall not be exercised and shall be canceled by the Company upon approval by the Board.
(II) The Company has the right to require incentive recipients to work for the Company in accordance with the requirements of their appointed positions. If an incentive recipient fails the performance assessment, or commits acts such as violating laws, breaching professional ethics, disclosing the Company secrets, violating the Company rules and regulations, dereliction of duty, or misconduct, which seriously damages the Company's interests or reputation, the stock options that have been granted but not yet exercised shall not be exercised and shall be canceled by the Company upon approval by the Board.
(III) The Company shall, in accordance with relevant national tax laws and regulations, withhold and pay individual income tax and other taxes payable by incentive recipients.
(IV) The Company shall not provide loans, guarantees for loans, or any other form of financial assistance to the incentive recipients for obtaining stock options under the Incentive Plan.

(III) The source of funds of incentive recipients is self-raised funds of incentive recipients.
(IV) The incentive recipients, in accordance with the provisions of the Incentive Plan, are granted stock options that do not entitle them to voting rights or decision-making rights before exercising the options, nor do they participate in the distribution of stock dividends or cash dividends.

(V) The incentive recipients shall pay individual income tax and other taxes in accordance with national tax laws and regulations for the proceeds obtained from the Incentive Plan.

(VII) After the Shareholders' Meeting deliberates on and approves the Incentive Plan and the Board passes the resolution on granting rights and interests to the incentive recipients, the Company will sign the Stock Option Grant Agreement with the incentive recipients to agree on the rights and obligations of both parties under laws, administrative regulations, normative documents and the Incentive Plan and other relevant matters.
(VIII) Other relevant rights and obligations stipulated by laws, administrative regulations and normative documents.
The Company's determination of the incentive recipients of the Incentive Plan does not constitute a commitment to the employment period of employees. The Company still determines the employment relationship of employees according to the Labor Contract or employment contract signed with the incentive recipient.
(I) In case of any of the following circumstances, the Incentive Plan shall be terminated, and the stock options granted to the incentive recipients but not yet exercised shall not be exercised, and shall be canceled by the Company:

(III) If the Company's disclosure documents contain false records, misleading statements, or material omissions, resulting in failure to meet the grant conditions or exercise arrangements for the stock options, the unexercised stock options shall be canceled by the Company. If the granted stock options have already been exercised by incentive recipients, the benefits obtained therefrom shall be returned. The Board shall recover the benefits obtained by the incentive recipients in accordance with the preceding provisions. If an incentive recipient is not responsible for the aforementioned matter and suffers
losses due to returning the benefits, the incentive recipient may seek compensation from the Company or the responsible party.
(I) Change in position of an incentive recipient
If an incentive recipient undergoes a change in position but remains employed by the Company or any of its controlled subsidiaries, the stock options already granted to such recipient shall continue to be exercised in accordance with the procedures stipulated in the Incentive Plan prior to the position change.
If an incentive recipient assumes a position such as an independent director or another role where holding the Company's shares is prohibited due to an organizational transfer, any stock options that have already been exercised will remain unaffected. However, any granted stock options that have not yet been exercised shall not be exercisable and shall be canceled by the Company.
If an incentive recipient undergoes a position change due to any conduct that harms the interests or reputation of the Company, such as incompetence, violation of law, breach of professional ethics, disclosure of the Company's confidential information, dereliction of duty, malfeasance, or serious violation of the Company's rules and regulations, or if the employment or labor relationship between the incentive recipient and the Company or its controlled subsidiaries is terminated due to any of the aforementioned reasons, the stock options already granted to the incentive recipient but not yet exercised shall not be exercisable and shall be canceled by the Company. The individual income tax on the portion of stock options already exercised shall be paid in full before the departure of the incentive recipient.

After any occurrence of the circumstances described in this paragraph, if there is no individual performance assessment for incentive recipients, the conditions of their individual performance assessment shall no longer be included in the exercise condition. If there is individual performance assessment for incentive recipients, their individual performance assessment shall remain one of the exercise conditions for stock options.
If the incentive recipient ceases to remain employed by the Company and does not continue to provide labor services in any other form after retirement, any stock options already granted but not yet exercised shall become non-exercisable and be null and void as of the date of retirement. Prior to retirement, the incentive recipient shall pay in full the individual income tax arising from the exercised stock options.
(IV) Termination due to loss of labor capacity by an incentive recipient
If an incentive recipient loses labor capacity due to work-related duties and consequently leaves the Company, the stock options already granted to such recipient shall be exercised strictly in accordance with the procedures stipulated in the Incentive Plan prior to the occurrence of such circumstance. Furthermore, the Company's Board may determine that the personal performance assessment conditions shall no longer apply as exercise conditions, while all other exercise conditions shall remain valid. The incentive recipient shall pay the individual income tax involved in the exercised stock options to the Company before the departure.
When an incentive recipient leaves the Company due to incapacity not resulting from the performance of his/her duties, any stock options already granted but not yet exercised shall not be exercisable and shall be canceled by the Company. The incentive recipient shall pay the individual income tax involved in the exercised stock options to the Company before the departure.
