The Group maintains a long-term strategic reliance on such Service Provider Participants, whose recurring services play a core role in maintaining the continuity of the Group’s operations. Eligibility for Awards depends on their strategic contributions to the Group’s development and future prospects, taking into account the tangible benefits derived and the business opportunities arising from such cooperation; and

ii. Advisers and consultants who provide strategic and technical guidance in connection with the Company’s principal business activities on a regular basis. This includes experts who provide consultancy services or technical contributions in relation to (a) business strategy including the overall corporate development strategy, product commercialisation strategies, market competition analysis, and market expansion, and (b) technology roadmap development including research on cutting-edge technology trends, technology roadmap planning, review of major R&D projects, and product innovation and iteration strategies. Such individuals or institutions are engaged on the basis of their professional expertise and industry experience, which drive the Group’s business growth and operational efficiency.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Furthermore, in assessing whether a Service Provider Participant has continuously and regularly provided services to the Company, the Board and/or its delegate(s) shall consider factors including, without limitation: (i) the period and nature of services provided by such Service Provider Participant, as well as whether such products or services are provided on a regular and recurring basis; (ii) the historical and/or expected length of engagement; and (iii) the purpose of engaging such Service Provider Participant.

While the Group has paid service fees to such Service Provider Participants for the services rendered, the grant of Awards to such Service Provider Participants aligns their interests with the long-term interests of the Group.

Equity incentives foster a sense of belonging and responsibility on the part of Service Provider Participants and incentivize them to contribute beyond their contractual obligations to the Company's success. By granting equity interests in the Company, the loyalty of Service Provider Participants is enhanced and they are further motivated to commit to service quality and innovation.

v. any other circumstance prescribed by the Board and/or its delegate(s) for the purpose of safeguarding the interests of the Group and ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations relating to the operation of the Scheme.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board of Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) believes that including the Related Entity Participants and Service Provider Participants as Eligible Persons is consistent with the Company's business needs, the nature of the Company's operations and industry practices. A sustainable and stable relationship with the Related Entity Participants and the Service Provider Participants is vital for the Group and the inclusion of non-employee participants under the 2026 Share Award Scheme would align their interest with the interest of the Group and incentivize them to provide better services to, create more opportunities for and/or contribute to the success of the Group in the long run, thereby promoting the growth and development of the Group as well as enhancing the Group's long-term value to enable the purpose of the 2026 Share Award Scheme to be achieved. Accordingly, the Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) considers that the inclusion of the Related Entity Participants and Service Provider Participants, along with their selection criteria, and the terms of grants under the 2026 Share Award Scheme align with the purposes of the 2026 Share Award Scheme and the long-term interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

With reference to the scope of the Eligible Persons and the corresponding eligibility criteria, the Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) is of the view that, as the Eligible Persons are those who maintain a close business collaboration with the Group, it would be in the Group's interest to grant the Awards to the Employee Participants and to permit the Company to grant Awards to the Related Entity Participants and the Service Provider Participants in recognition of their contribution to the Group's long-term growth and development, and by granting Awards, those Eligible Persons would be aligned with the Group's objectives in relation to its long-term growth and development. The Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) considers that the scope of the Eligible Persons and the applicable eligibility criteria set out above are fair and reasonable, which could achieve the purpose of the 2026 Share Award Scheme, and are in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Source of Target Shares

The Target Shares under the 2026 Share Award Scheme shall be sourced from the following: (i) H Shares acquired by the Trustee on the secondary market through on-market and/or off-market transactions at the prevailing market price by utilizing the Scheme Funds, in accordance with the trust deed and pursuant to the instructions of the Company and the relevant provisions of the 2026 Share Award Scheme (“Scheme Rules”). The Board and/or the delegate(s) may instruct the Trustee in respect of the purchase of H Shares and specify any conditions or terms, including but not limited to price or price range, the maximum amount of funds to be utilized for the purchase, the maximum number of H Shares to be purchased and/or the designated date or period for such purchase, provided that any such instructions shall comply with applicable laws and regulations and the Listing Rules (including, without limitation, any restrictions on trading in H Shares during blackout periods and while in possession of inside information), and shall not trigger any obligation to make a mandatory general offer; and (ii) new H Shares to be allotted and issued by the Company (including the transfer of treasury shares), which shall rank pari passu in all respects with the fully paid shares in issue as at the date of allotment.

Scheme Mandate Limit and Service Provider Sublimit

Under no circumstances shall the total number of Shares which may be granted and issued pursuant to the 2026 Share Award Scheme and any other share award and/or share option schemes (if any) (“Scheme Mandate Limit”) exceed 10% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the Adoption Date (excluding any treasury shares), being 44,584,309 H Shares. Subject to the Scheme Mandate Limit, the total number of Award Shares granted to Service Provider Participants (“Service Provider Sublimit”) shall not exceed 1% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding any treasury shares) as at the date of adoption of the 2026 Share Award Scheme, being 4,458,430 H Shares.

Awards that have lapsed pursuant to the terms of the 2026 Share Award Scheme shall not be regarded as utilized for the purposes of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit or the Service Provider Sublimit. For the avoidance of doubt, where the Award Shares are existing H Shares acquired by the Trustee through on-market and/or off-market transactions, such Awards shall not be regarded as utilized for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit or the Service Provider Sublimit.

The Service Provider Sublimit has been determined after considering (i) the purpose of the 2026 Share Award Scheme; (ii) the potential dilution impact of utilizing the Service Provider Sublimit; and (iii) the business needs and planning of the Group in relation to its engagement of Service Provider Participants.

  • 16 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Having considered the following factors, the Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) is of the view that the Service Provider Sublimit is appropriate and reasonable:

i. the potential dilution impact of grants to Service Provider Participants;

ii. the importance of balancing the effective achievement of the purpose of the 2026 Share Award Scheme with the protection of Shareholders against undue dilution resulting from substantial grants of Shares to Service Provider Participants;

iii. the reasons and criteria for including Service Provider Participants as Eligible Persons as set out above;

iv. the Company’s ability and flexibility to provide equity-based incentives (as opposed to utilizing cash or other financial resources) to incentivize and reward (a) persons with expertise in their fields, (b) persons who, due to the nature of their engagement, industry practice and/or other reasons, are not employees of the Group but whose continuity and stability of service are important to the Group, and (c) persons who may or have contributed to the Group;

v. the Company’s discretion to impose additional grant and/or vesting conditions; and

vi. prevailing market practices adopted by other companies listed on the Stock Exchange.

Individual Limit

Save as approved by the Shareholders as required under the Listing Rules, the aggregate maximum number of Shares which are issued or to be issued pursuant to Awards granted to any single Eligible Person under the 2026 Share Award Scheme or any other share scheme of the Company (including Shares issued or to be issued in respect of any share awards or share options) during any 12-month period up to and including the date of grant of the relevant Award Shares shall not exceed 1% of the total number of Shares in issue of the Company as at the Grant Date (excluding any treasury shares). Save as approved by a resolution passed by the Shareholders at a general meeting, the Board and/or its delegate(s) shall not grant any further Awards which would cause such limit to be exceeded.

i. pursuant to the 2026 Share Award Scheme, where Awards are granted through issuance of new H Shares to Directors, chief executive or substantial Shareholders, or any of their respective associates, such grants shall be subject to the approval of the independent non-executive Directors (excluding any independent non-executive Director who is a Grantee);

ii. where any grant of Awards through issuance of new H Shares to a Director (other than an independent non-executive Director) or the chief executive, or any of their respective associates, would result in, during any 12-month period up to and including the date of such grant, the total number of new Shares issued and to be issued pursuant to all Awards granted to such person under the 2026 Share Award Scheme and any other awards granted under other share schemes (excluding any Awards, other awards or share options that have lapsed in accordance with the terms of the 2026 Share Award Scheme or other share schemes) exceeding 0.1% of the total number of Shares in issue (excluding any treasury shares), any further grant of Awards shall be subject to the approval of the Shareholders at a general meeting;

iii. where any grant of Awards through issuance of new H Shares to an independent non-executive Director or a substantial Shareholder, or any of their respective associates, would result in, during any 12-month period up to and including the date of such grant, the total number of new Shares issued and to be issued pursuant to all Awards granted to such person under the 2026 Share Award Scheme and any other share options and/or awards granted under other share schemes (excluding any Awards, other share options or awards that have lapsed in accordance with the terms of the 2026 Share Award Scheme or other share schemes, as the case may be) exceeding 0.1% of the total number of Shares in issue (excluding any treasury shares), any further grant of Awards shall be subject to the approval of the Shareholders at a general meeting of the Company; and

iv. for purposes of obtaining the abovementioned Shareholders' approval, the Company shall issue a circular to the Shareholders. The Eligible Person, his/her associates and all core connected persons of the Company shall abstain from voting in favor of the relevant resolution(s) at such general meeting. The Company shall comply with the applicable requirements under the Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board shall be the executive administrative body of the 2026 Share Award Scheme. The 2026 Share Award Scheme shall be implemented upon the Board having considered and approved the scheme proposal and the Shareholders having granted their approval at a general meeting. The Board and/or the delegate(s) may, within the scope of authority granted by the shareholders, handle and implement all matters relating to the 2026 Share Award Scheme.

The independent non-executive Directors shall exercise supervision to ensure that the 2026 Share Award Scheme is conducive to the sustainable development of the Company, it is not prejudicial to the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole, and that the implementation of the 2026 Share Award Scheme complies with the applicable laws, regulations, documents of a regulatory nature and the relevant regulatory requirements of the place of incorporation and the place of listing of the Company.

The term of appointment, scope of authority and remuneration (if any) of such delegate(s) shall be determined by the Board in its absolute discretion from time to time.

i. interpret the Scheme Rules and the relevant provisions thereof;

  • 20 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Without prejudice to the general management powers of the Board and/or the delegate(s), and to the extent not prohibited by applicable laws and regulations, the Board and/or the delegate(s) may, from time to time, appoint one or more trustees in respect of the grant, administration or vesting of any Award Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Scheme Rules, the Board (or such delegate(s) designated by the Board) shall be the sole party entitled to issue any instructions, directions or recommendations (directly or through its designated contact(s)) to the Trustee.

Grant of Award Shares

Subject to the terms and conditions of the 2026 Share Award Scheme, the Board and/or its delegate(s) may, in their absolute discretion and on such terms and conditions as they consider appropriate, grant Award Shares to any Eligible Person at a Purchase Price. Such Purchase Price shall be payable by the Grantee upon vesting of the relevant Award Shares in the manner determined by the Board and/or its delegate(s).

Any Award Shares which fail to vest or otherwise lapse for any reason may, at the absolute discretion of the Board and/or its delegate(s), be re-granted for the purposes of the 2026 Share Award Scheme.

Following the grant of Award Shares, the Company shall issue a Grant Letter to the Grantee, which shall include, among other things, the following particulars:

i. the name of the Grantee;
ii. the number of Award Shares granted;
iii. the vesting criteria and conditions;
iv. the Vesting Date(s);
v. the Purchase Price; and
vi. such other terms and conditions as may be determined by the Board and/or its delegate(s).

The Board and/or its delegate(s) shall have the power from time to time, in their absolute discretion, to impose such conditions as they consider appropriate in respect of the vesting of Award Shares in favor of a Grantee (including, without limitation, a minimum period of continued service with the Group after the Grant Date, performance targets and performance assessment), and shall notify the Trustee and the relevant Grantee of the vesting conditions applicable to the Award Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Scheme Rules, subject to applicable laws and regulations and the Listing Rules (including Rule 17.03(18) of the Listing Rules), the Board and/or its delegate(s) shall be entitled, in their absolute discretion, to waive any vesting condition(s) set out in the Grant Letter.

  • 21 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Effectiveness and Duration

The 2026 Share Award Scheme shall be valid and effective for a period of ten (10) years commencing from the Adoption Date (the “Scheme Period”), upon the expiry of which no further additional Award Shares may be granted. Where any Award Shares have been granted but have not yet vested prior to the expiry of the Scheme Period, the 2026 Share Award Scheme shall be extended until such Award Shares have fully vested, and the expiry of the Scheme Period shall not affect any subsisting rights granted to any Grantee thereunder.

Purchase Price

The Board and/or its delegate(s) may, in their absolute discretion, determine whether an Eligible Person is required to pay any Purchase Price for obtaining the Awards and, if so required, determine the amount of such Purchase Price after taking into account the practices of comparable companies and the effectiveness of the 2026 Share Award Scheme in attracting talents and incentivizing Eligible Persons to contribute to the long-term development of the Group.

The Board is of the view that the basis for determining the Purchase Price is consistent with the purposes of the 2026 Share Award Scheme to encourage Eligible Persons to contribute to the long-term development and interests of the Company, and that the imposition of appropriate criteria for the Purchase Price will further align the interests of the Eligible Persons with those of the Group.

Vesting Period

Subject to the validity of the 2026 Share Award Scheme and compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, the Board and/or its delegate(s) may from time to time determine the vesting criteria, conditions and the vesting period for the vesting of Award Shares under the 2026 Share Award Scheme. Save for the circumstances set out below, the vesting period of any Award Shares shall not commence earlier than twelve (12) months from (and including) the Grant Date.

In the following circumstances, the Remuneration Committee, the Board or its delegate(s) may, at their sole discretion, determine to shorten the vesting period of Award Shares granted to Employee Participants:

i. the grant of “make-whole” Awards to new joiners to compensate them for share awards forfeited upon leaving their previous employers;

  • 22 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

ii. grants of Awards made in tranches within a year for administrative or compliance reasons, which include Awards that should have been granted earlier but, due to such administrative or compliance reasons, were required to be granted in a subsequent tranche. In such circumstances, the vesting period may be correspondingly shortened to reflect the time at which the Awards would otherwise have been granted;

iii. grants with a mixed or accelerated vesting schedule, such as where the Award Shares may vest evenly over a period of twelve (12) months, or vest in several tranches with the first tranche vesting within twelve (12) months after the Grant Date and the last tranche vesting after twelve (12) months from the Grant Date;

iv. grants subject to performance-based vesting conditions as provided under the Scheme or as specified in the relevant Grant Letter, in lieu of time-based vesting conditions;

v. grants to Eligible Persons whose employment is terminated due to death, disability or the occurrence of any force majeure event; and

vi. where there is a change of control, voluntary liquidation or creditors' compromise or arrangement.

The Board or its delegate(s) (or, in respect of grants of Awards to Directors and/or senior management members, the Remuneration Committee) is of the view that the adoption of a shorter vesting period in the foregoing circumstances set out in subparagraphs (i) to (iv) above is in line with market practice, is appropriate and accords with the purposes of the 2026 Share Award Scheme, considering that (a) this discretion enables the Company to retain flexibility in certain cases to provide a competitive remuneration package and reward exceptional performers which could motivate and provide incentives to the Employee Participants and to attract and retain the best available personnel for the Group, and (b) a strict 12-month vesting period would not work or would not be appropriate or would not be fair to the Grantees.

The Board or its delegate(s) (or, in respect of grants of Awards to Directors and/or senior management members, the Remuneration Committee) further considers that it is appropriate to apply a shorter vesting period in the circumstances set out in subparagraphs (v) to (vi) above, and that such approach is consistent with the purposes of the 2026 Share Award Scheme (i.e., to promote the long-term sustainable development and performance objectives of the Company and to align the interests of award recipients with those of the Company). Considering that such circumstances are not common and are beyond the control of the recipients of the Awards (and, in certain cases, the Board and the Company), recipients of the Awards should not be unduly prejudiced in such circumstances.

  • 23 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Performance Targets

Awards shall vest only upon the Eligible Persons having satisfied the performance targets (if any) as determined by the Remuneration Committee, the Board or its delegate(s) from time to time. Upon the Board or its delegate(s) deciding to select an Eligible Person for the grant of Awards under the 2026 Share Award Scheme, the performance targets and other relevant conditions (if any) shall be specified in the relevant Grant Letter. The metrics of the performance targets may include:

i. the annual results and performance of the Group or members of the Group;
ii. the achievement of milestones of important projects of the Group;
iii. the key performance indicators of the department and/or business unit to which the Eligible Person belongs; and/or
iv. the position held by the Eligible Person and the results of his or her annual appraisal, and such targets may vary for different Eligible Persons.

During the vesting period, the Board or its delegate(s) shall, at the end of the relevant performance period, evaluate whether the performance targets required to be achieved by the Eligible Person prior to the vesting of the relevant Awards have been met and the extent to which such targets have been achieved, including by comparing the performance of the Group and/or the individual performance of the Eligible Person against the agreed targets.

The Board or its delegate(s) may flexibly determine whether performance target conditions are required to be imposed. From the perspective of promoting the Company's development, setting out a fixed set of generic performance targets under the rules of the 2026 Share Award Scheme would not be conducive to the Company's development, as each Eligible Person has different responsibilities within the Company and contributes in different ways. In making such determinations, the Board or its delegate(s) shall take into account the purposes of the 2026 Share Award Scheme and ensure that appropriate and specific performance targets are set, having regard to the particular circumstances of the relevant Eligible Person.

  • 24 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Clawback Mechanism

If, prior to or on the Vesting Date, any of the following events occurs, as a result of which the Grantee ceases to be an Eligible Person, then unless otherwise approved by the Board and/or the delegate(s), all unvested Award Shares granted to the Grantee shall immediately lapse, and any vested Award Shares in respect of which the Trustee has not yet completed the transfer or payment to the Grantee shall also lapse automatically. Such events shall include:

i. the Grantee commits any material breach of the Group’s internal rules and regulations, the employment contract or service agreement, and/or any confidentiality, intellectual property rights, non-competition or non-solicitation agreement or other relevant undertakings or policies, or otherwise engages in conduct contrary to professional ethics;

ii. the Grantee commits serious misconduct, gross negligence or dereliction of duty;

iii. the Grantee discloses, misuses or infringes any confidential information, trade secrets, technical know-how or intellectual property rights of the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

iv. the Grantee misappropriates the assets or funds of the Group, abuses his/her position for personal gain, defames, solicits or accepts bribes, or engages in any act which brings adverse effect on the Company or any of its related entities into disrepute;

v. the Grantee breaches any anti-corruption or anti-bribery policies of the Group, or is involved in corruption, bribery or other similar misconduct;

vi. the Grantee engages in unfair competition, makes or disseminates false, misleading or defamatory statements concerning the Group in public or otherwise, or conducts himself/herself in a manner which is reasonably likely to have a material adverse impact on the reputation or business of the Company or any of its connected companies;

vii. the Grantee breaches any applicable laws or regulations and is subject to administrative penalties (including administrative detention) or is convicted of a criminal offence; or

viii. any other act, omission, fault or misconduct which, in the reasonable opinion of the Board and/or the delegate(s), has resulted in or is reasonably likely to result in material loss to, or material adverse impact on, the Group or any partnership.

  • 25 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Grantee agrees, undertakes and warrants that if, as a result of the occurrence of any of the events set out above, the Grantee ceases to be an Eligible Person after the Vesting Date, and where, at such time, there remain any vested Award Shares in respect of which the Trustee has not yet completed the transfer or payment to the Grantee, the Grantee shall voluntarily and irrevocably waive his/her entitlement to such unpaid vested Award Shares. Such Award Shares shall be deemed to have lapsed and shall continue to form part of the Trust.

The Grantee further agrees, undertakes and warrants that if, as a result of the occurrence of any of the events set out above, the Grantee ceases to be an Eligible Person after the Vesting Date and such event has resulted in a material adverse impact on the interests of the Group, the Board and/or the delegate(s) shall be entitled, in their discretion, to require the Grantee to repay all or part (as determined by the Board and/or the delegate(s)) of the amounts already paid or transferred to the Grantee in respect of the vested Award Shares.

The Board considers that the clawback mechanism under the 2026 Share Award Scheme provides the Board with the option to reclaim Awards granted to Eligible Persons who have acted improperly. This enhances the Board's flexibility in setting the terms and conditions of Awards based on the specific circumstances of each grant, thereby facilitating the achievement of the objective to provide meaningful incentives to attract and retain high calibre talent valuable to the Group's development, which aligns with the purposes of the 2026 Share Award Scheme and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Transfer of Award Shares and other Rights

An Award shall be personal to a Grantee and shall not be assignable nor transferable. During the Scheme Period, unless and until the Award Shares are vested and transferred to the Grantee in accordance with the terms of the 2026 Share Award Scheme (where applicable), the Grantee shall not deal with the Award Shares granted in any manner whatsoever, including without limitation the sale, transfer, pledge, mortgage, charge or creation of any interest or benefit in favor of any third party, or enter into any agreement to do any of the foregoing. Any act in material breach of, or any attempted breach of, the foregoing shall entitle the Board and/or its delegate(s) to cancel or deem to have lapsed all or any of the Award Shares which have been granted to the Grantee but not yet vested, without any compensation.

During the Scheme Period, the Trustee shall not exercise any voting rights in respect of any Target Shares held by it under the 2026 Share Award Scheme.

During the Scheme Period, any dividends derived from the Target Shares (if any) shall be held by the Trust for the benefit of each Grantee in proportion to his/her Award Shares, provided that such dividends shall only be paid to the relevant Grantee upon vesting of the corresponding Award Shares.

  • 26 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

For the avoidance of doubt:

i. prior to the vesting and transfer of the Award Shares to the Grantee (where applicable), the Grantee shall not be entitled to any rights attaching to the Target Shares other than dividend rights (including, without limitation, voting rights, rights to bonus issues and rights to participate in rights issues);

ii. the Grantee shall have no rights whatsoever in respect of the Award Shares held in the Trust account or any account of other Grantees;

iii. The Grantee shall not be entitled to give any instructions to the Trustee, save that, after the relevant Award Shares have vested, the Grantee may from time to time give written instructions to the Trustee in relation to the transfer of all or part of the vested Award Shares to the Grantee or such entity as the Grantee may designate, and/or sell all or part of the vested Award Shares on-market at the prevailing market price and pay the cash proceeds (net of any applicable taxes, where relevant) to the Grantee, in each case subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations, the constitutional documents of the Company and the regulatory requirements of the place of incorporation and the place of listing of the Company.

iv. unless otherwise waived by the Board and/or its delegate(s), where the vesting conditions specified in the Grant Letter have not been fully satisfied on or prior to the relevant Vesting Date, or where the Grantee ceases to be an Eligible Person prior to the relevant Vesting Date, the Award Shares shall be dealt with in accordance with the provisions of the 2026 Share Award Scheme.

v. the Grantee agrees, undertakes and warrants that he/she shall not make any claim against the Company, any other member of the Group, the Board, the delegate(s), the Trust or the Trustee under any circumstances.

Restrictions on Grant

The Board and/or its delegate(s) shall not grant any Award Shares during any of the following periods:

i. at any time when the Company is in possession of inside information, and until the trading day following the publication of such inside information;

ii. during the period of thirty (30) days immediately preceding the deadline to announce the annual results, interim results and quarterly results (if applicable) of the Company and ending on the date of publication of such results (both days inclusive); or

  • 27 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

iii. any other restrictive circumstances as prescribed by the applicable laws and regulations of the place of incorporation and the place of listing of the Company, and the rules and regulations promulgated by the China Securities Regulatory Commission, the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong and the stock exchange on which the securities of the Company are listed.

Cancellation of Awards

The Board and/or its delegate(s) may, at their discretion, cancel any unvested Awards or lapsed Awards. Such cancellations shall be notified to the Trustee and the relevant Grantees.

Where the Company cancels any Awards granted to a Grantee and makes a new grant (whether under the 2026 Share Award Scheme or any other share scheme(s)) to the same Grantee, such new grant may only be made within the available Scheme Mandate Limit approved by the Shareholders. The Awards cancelled will be regarded as utilised for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit (and the Service Provider Sublimit).

Amendment of the 2026 Share Award Scheme

Any material amendment to the provisions of the 2026 Share Award Scheme or any amendment to the provisions relating to the matters set out in Rule 17.03 of the Listing Rules which are beneficial to the participants shall be subject to the approval of the Shareholders at a general meeting of the Company. Any change to the authority of the Board and/or its delegate(s) to amend the terms of the 2026 Share Award Scheme shall also be subject to the approval of the Shareholders at a general meeting of the Company.

Subject to the scheme mandate limit and the provisions set out above, the 2026 Share Award Scheme may be altered or supplemented in any respect by a resolution of the Board. During the Scheme Period, where the terms of the 2026 Share Award Scheme are amended, the Company shall provide all Grantees with full details of such change as soon as practicable after the change takes effect. Any modification to the terms of any Award granted to an Eligible Person shall be approved by the Board, the Remuneration Committee, the independent non-executive Directors and/or the Shareholders (as the case may be), provided that the initial grant of such Award was approved by the Board, the Remuneration Committee, the independent non-executive Directors and/or the Shareholders (as the case may be). This requirement shall not apply where such modification takes effect automatically pursuant to the existing provisions of the 2026 Share Award Scheme.

The amended terms of the 2026 Share Award Scheme shall continue to comply with the relevant requirements of Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules.

Where the Board amends the 2026 Share Award Scheme, the independent non-executive Directors shall exercise supervision to ensure such alteration is conducive to the sustainable development of the Company and such amendment is not prejudicial to the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

  • 33 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

It is proposed that the net proceeds from the Proposed Issue of A Shares (after deducting issuance expenses) will be invested in the following projects (the “Projects”), having regard to project priorities, the timing of receipt of proceeds and project progress:

No. Project Name Total Investment Amount (RMB'000) Proposed Investment Amount from Proceeds Raised (RMB'000)
I. Artificial Intelligence General-purpose Foundational Large Language Models 12,000,000.00 12,000,000.00
II. Large Model MaaS One-stop Service Platform 2,000,000.00 2,000,000.00
III. Working capital supplement 1,000,000.00 1,000,000.00
Total 15,000,000.00 15,000,000.00

Details on the use of proceeds for each of the designated projects are set forth below:

i. Artificial Intelligence General-Purpose Foundational Large Language Models

This project focuses on exploring the paradigm shift from “chatbots” to “intelligent agent systems” and “social governance security”. Large models are transitioning from purely conversational functions towards long-horizon task processing capabilities, and have already achieved a high degree of automation. Through further R&D under this project, future general-purpose foundational large models will be capable of constructing a “fully autonomous” task planning and execution process, comprising a fully automated cycle of task comprehension, planning, execution, evaluation and iteration. At the same time, the leading edge of general-purpose large models will no longer be measured solely by parameter scale, but will also require adaptation to industrial and social environments, realizing a new AI-era working model of model-human and model-model collaboration. In terms of core technologies, the Company will focus on: (1) enhancing the intelligence upper bound of the foundational model; (2) infinite memory and sustainable autonomous learning capabilities of the model; (3) autonomous intelligence through multi-agent collaboration; and (4) extreme chip-compute integrated efficient inference computing. The proceeds allocated to this project will be primarily used for expenditures including investment in computing power, staff remuneration and facility construction. This project is expected to utilize RMB12.0 billion of the proceeds raised from the Proposed Issue of A Shares and is expected to complete by the end of 2030.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

ii. Large Model MaaS One-stop Service Platform

The Group’s large model platform is committed to connecting AI to all existing tools and databases, serving as an AI connector capable of even operating computer interfaces directly like a human to achieve truly end-to-end automation. The Company will undertake R&D of a large language model operating system (LLM-OS) based on the foundational model, which will help lower the barriers to large model application development and promote the large-scale implementation of AI technology in the real economy. In addition, the Company will also explore AI4Science (AI for science) and social governance, researching the physical domains where the intelligence leverage of large models can deliver maximum value, and redefining the collaborative model between models and humans. This project is expected to utilize RMB2.0 billion of the proceeds raised from the Proposed Issue of A Shares and is expected to complete by the end of 2030.

iii. Working Capital Supplement

The Group requires adequate liquidity to sustain its day-to-day operational activities. RMB1.0 billion of the proceeds raised from the Proposed Issue of A Shares will be allocated to supplement the working capital of the Group, and such amount is expected to be fully utilized by the end of 2030. This allocation is intended to ensure that the Group maintains the financial flexibility necessary to support its overall business objectives as the aforementioned projects are progressively deployed.

The receipt of the proceeds and the successful implementation of the investment projects will help the Company accelerate the realization of its vision of “making machines think like humans”, explore deeper levels of AI intelligence, and assist in fulfilling the national strategic deployment in science and technology. At the same time, this will help the Company achieve continuous iteration and upgrades of its existing large-scale models, consolidate its leading position in the industry, and further expand its market share, laying a solid foundation for the Company’s long-term future development.

The intended use of the proceeds to the Projects is distinct from the use of proceeds from the Global Offering, which mainly focuses on enhancing the overall capabilities of the existing GLM series models, including the pre-training scale expansion, enhancement of deep reasoning capabilities, long-range task capabilities, and engineering optimization. The R&D project for general-purpose foundational large language models under the A-share fundraising investment projects serves the further continuous evolution of the general-purpose artificial intelligence technology system, with new scaling paradigms and new capabilities at their core, systematically reconstructing the underlying architecture and training framework, and together forming an organic whole of the Company’s next-phase general-purpose artificial intelligence R&D deployment. Therefore, the Company considered that the intended allocation of proceeds from the Proposed Issue of A Shares to the Projects is well-founded and is in line with the Group’s plan of future development.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

If the net proceeds actually raised from this A Share offering cannot satisfy the funding needs for the Projects, the Company will obtain funds by using its own funds or through bank loans or other means. If the proceeds raised from the Proposed Issue of A Shares exceeds the requirements of the Projects, the surplus amount will be used for the Company's main business. If, due to operational needs or market competition or other factors, any of the Projects must be funded in advance before the proceeds are in place, the Company will make such advance investment using its own funds or self-raised funds in accordance with the construction progress and funding requirements of the Projects, and will replace such pre-invested own funds or self-raised funds after the proceeds are in place. The specific arrangements for such replacement shall be separately deliberated and approved by the Company in accordance with the law after the proceeds are received.

The proceeds raised from the Proposed Issue of A Shares are all intended to be used for the Company's principal business, and the amount of proceeds and the Projects are commensurate with the Company's operating scale, financial condition, technological level and management capabilities. The investment projects are directed toward the field of technological innovation in alignment with the Company's principal business activities, and are consistent with national industrial policies and the company's development strategy, and are therefore feasible.

The plan for undertaking accumulated unrecovered losses prior to the Proposed Issue of A Shares

A special resolution will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to consider and approve the plan for undertaking accumulated unrecovered losses prior to the Proposed Issue of A Shares.

If the Proposed Issue of A Shares and listing on the Sci-Tech Board is approved by the Shanghai Stock Exchange and registered with the CSRC and subsequently implemented, any accumulated unrecovered losses of the Company prior to the Proposed Issue of A Shares shall be borne by both the existing and new Shareholders following the Proposed Issue of A Shares in proportion to their respective shareholdings upon completion of the Proposed Issue of A Shares and listing.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Analysis of the impact of dilution on immediate return by the Proposed Issue of A Shares and listing on the Sci-Tech Board and recovery measures for the immediate return

In accordance with the relevant requirements of the Opinions on Further Strengthening the Work of Protection of the Legitimate Rights and Interests of Minority Investors in the Capital Market (Guo Ban Fa [2013] No. 110) (《關於進一步加強資本市場中小投資者合法權益保護工作的意見》(國辦發[2013]110號)) issued by the General Office of the State Council, as well as the Guiding Opinions on Matters Concerning the Dilution of Immediate Returns from the Initial Public Offering, Refinancing and Material Asset Restructuring (Zheng Jian Hui Gong Gao [2015] No. 31) (《關於首發及再融資、重大資產組攤薄即期回報有關事項的指導意見》(證監會公告[2015]31號)) issued by the CSRC, and to promote the Company's ability to continuously enhance returns to investors, a special resolution will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to consider and approve the analysis of the impact of dilution on immediate return by the Proposed Issue of A Shares and listing on the Sci-Tech Board and recovery measure plan, the details of which are as follows:

i. Impact on Earnings Per Share in the Year the Raised Funds Are Received

Prior to the Proposed Issue of A Shares, the total share capital of the Company stands was 445,843,090 Shares. The Proposed Issue of A Shares proposes to publicly issue no more than 38,768,964 new Shares (assuming no other change in the share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date up to and including the date of completion of the Proposed Issue of A Shares), and does not involve the public sale of existing Shares. As the realization of returns from the fund-raising investment projects requires a certain period of time, it will not be possible to generate returns in the year of issuance. Upon completion of the Proposed Issue of A Shares and listing on the Sci-Tech Board, if the Company's net profit cannot increase in the short term to a degree commensurate with the growth in share capital, it is expected that the basic earnings per Share or diluted earnings per Share for the year in which the offering is completed will be lower than that of the preceding year, resulting in a dilution of the Company's immediate returns.

The above assumptions, analysis, and calculations regarding the Company's immediate return indicators before and after the Proposed Issue of A Shares do not constitute a profit forecast by the Company, nor do they represent a guarantee of the Company's future profits. Investors should not make decisions based solely on this information. The Company shall bear no liability for any losses thereby incurred.

The fundraising investment projects are closely aligned with the Company's principal business activities and represent strategic arrangements made by the Company in accordance with its future development plans. Specifically, the implementation of the Artificial Intelligence General-Purpose Foundational Large Language Model project aims to continuously raise the upper bound of model intelligence, enhance the model's long-horizon task capabilities, and achieve comprehensive adaptation in complex industrial and social environments through model-human and model-model collaboration, thereby enhancing the Company's technological leadership and productization standards in the field of general-purpose foundational large models. The Large Model MaaS One-stop Service Platform project focuses on the entire model application development process, building a technical system featuring high performance, high availability and scalability, promoting the large-scale implementation of AI technology in the real economy, exploring the optimal intelligence leverage of large models in frontier scientific research and social governance, and redefining the collaborative model between models and humans, so as to continuously improve the market fit and penetration rate of the Company's technology products and create greater social value.

III. OTHER INFORMATION IN RELATION TO THE PROPOSED ISSUE OF A SHARES

1. Reasons for the Proposed Issue of A Shares and listing on the Sci-Tech Board

In order to further accelerate the Company's development, strengthen its position as a hard technology innovator, and improve its comprehensive competitiveness, the Company considers that the proposed listing on the Sci-Tech Board meets the needs of the Company and would be beneficial to the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. The Proposed Issue of A Shares represents a significant strategic initiative by the Company in actively responding to national development strategies, and would enable the Company to establish a dual "A+H" share capital market channel, thereby broadening its financing base and enhancing its long-term capital planning flexibility.

Continuous Investment in Research and Development

The Group is a leading artificial intelligence technology company focused on the research and development of large language models. As the Group maintains its rapid growth momentum and continues to explore the upper bound of model intelligence through sustained and stable research and development investment, the Proposed Issue of A Shares would provide the Company with additional capital and allow the Company to pursue further research and development and commercialization of its large language model products and

  • 65 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

services. In particular, the net proceeds from the Proposed Issue of A Shares are expected to be applied towards two projects named “Artificial Intelligence General-purpose Foundational Large Language Models” and “Large Model MaaS One-stop Service Platform”, both of which are designed to drive a generational leap in model capabilities and promote the large-scale implementation of artificial intelligence technology in the real economy.

Enhancing Influence and Voice in the Artificial Intelligence Sector

The net proceeds from the Proposed Issue of A Shares will greatly facilitate the continued iteration and upgrade of the Company's existing large language models, including the GLM series of models, the comprehensive capabilities of which are at the global forefront. The additional capital raised will enable the Group to consolidate its leading position in China's general-purpose large language model industry, further expand its market share, and continue to enhance its influence and voice in the field of artificial intelligence large language models, both domestically and internationally.

Benefits of Becoming a Dual-Listed Company

The Proposed Issue of A Shares and listing on the Sci-Tech Board would enhance the reputation and influence of the Company by achieving listing statuses in both the PRC and Hong Kong stock markets. The Company would also have access to an established platform in the PRC capital market and broaden its capital base and financing channels, thereby strengthening its overall research and development capabilities and commercialization capacity. In addition to compliance with the Listing Rules, the Company and its internal control framework would also be required to meet the requirements under the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Science and Technology Innovation Board of the Shanghai Stock Exchange and other laws and regulations related to a domestically listed company following the Proposed Issue of A Shares and listing on the Sci-Tech Board. Therefore, the Company would be able to maintain and optimize its corporate governance in its management structures and internal governance policies and continue to ensure effective accountability.

2. Effects of the Proposed Issue of A Shares on shareholding structure of the Company

Upon completion of the Proposed Issue of A Shares and listing on the Sci-Tech Board, all of the then existing Unlisted Shares will be converted into A Shares and be listed on the Sci-Tech Board. Such converted A Shares will be deposited in China Securities Depository and Clearing Co., Ltd. (中國證券登記結算有限責任公司) and subject to lock-up periods as required under relevant PRC laws and regulations.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The following is an explanatory statement required to be sent to the Shareholders under the Listing Rules in connection with the proposed Repurchase Mandate.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 445,843,090 Shares, including 221,314,605 H Shares and 224,528,485 Unlisted Shares with a nominal value of RMB0.10 each. Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 22,131,460 H Shares which represent 10% of the total number of issued H Shares (excluding treasury shares) during the period ending on the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (ii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by a special resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

REASONS FOR AND FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase its Shares on the Stock Exchange. When exercising the proposed Repurchase Mandate, the Company may, subject to market conditions and the Company's capital management needs at the relevant time of the repurchases, cancel the Shares repurchased following settlement of any such repurchase or hold them as treasury shares. Shares repurchased for cancellation may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or its earnings per Share. On the other hand, Shares repurchased and held by the Company as treasury shares may be resold on the market at market prices to raise funds for the Company, or transferred or used for other purposes, subject to compliance with the Listing Rules, and the Articles of Association. Share repurchase will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

In repurchasing H Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association, the laws of the PRC and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.

In accordance with the laws or administrative regulations of the PRC and subject to the approval of the relevant authority, the Company is entitled under its Articles of Association to repurchase H Shares. The Company shall not repurchase H Shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange from time to time.

  • I-1 -

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The Directors would only exercise the power to repurchase in circumstances where they consider that the repurchase would be in the best interests of the Company. The Directors consider that if the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full at the current prevailing market value, it may not have a material adverse impact on the working capital and/or the gearing position of the Company, as compared with the positions disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as at December 31, 2025, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Company were made up. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

GENERAL

To the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their close associates, as defined in the Listing Rules, currently intend to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Articles of Association.

No core connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised.

If as a result of a repurchase of Shares by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of the Shareholder's interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, the Controlling Shareholder Group is deemed to be interested in 123,042,373 Shares under Part XV of the SFO, representing approximately $27.60\%$ of the total issued Shares of the Company.

In the event that the Directors should exercise in full the Repurchase Mandate, the shareholding of the Controlling Shareholder Group will be increased to approximately $29.04\%$ of the issued share capital of the Company. To the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, the Directors are not aware of any consequences of such repurchases of Shares that would result in a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert, becoming obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code if the Repurchase Mandate was exercised in full.

  • I-2 -

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code and/or any similar applicable law of which the directors are aware (if any) as a result of any repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

The Listing Rules prohibit a company from repurchasing its own shares on the Stock Exchange if the repurchase would result in the number of listed shares which are in the hands of the public falling below the applicable prescribed minimum threshold under the Listing Rules. Pursuant to Rule 19A.13A(1) of the Listing Rules, the minimum prescribed public float percentage of H Shares applicable to the Company is 10%. The Directors do not propose to repurchase Shares which would result in less than the prescribed prescribed minimum threshold of Shares in public hands.

The Company confirms that neither this explanatory statement nor the proposed share repurchase has any unusual features.

For the treasury shares deposited with CCASS pending resale on the Stock Exchange, the Company has appropriate measures to ensure that it would not exercise any shareholders' rights or receive any entitlements which would otherwise be suspended under the relevant laws if those Shares were registered in the Company's own name as treasury shares. The Company has implemented the following measures in place: (i) the Company would procure its broker not to give any instructions to Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited to vote at general meetings for the treasury shares deposited with CCASS; and (ii) in the case of dividends or distributions, the Company would withdraw the treasury shares from CCASS, and either re-register them in the Company's own name as treasury shares or cancel them, in each case before the record date for the dividends or distributions or take any other measures to ensure that it will not exercise any shareholders' rights or receive any entitlements which would otherwise be suspended under the applicable laws if those Shares were registered in its own name as treasury shares.

SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest traded prices for Shares recorded on the Stock Exchange during the period from the Listing Date to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

Month Price per Share
Highest traded prices HK$ Lowest traded prices HK$
2026
January (from the Listing Date) 263.00 116.10

Subject to the terms and conditions of the 2026 Share Award Scheme, the Board and/or its delegate(s) may, in their absolute discretion and on such terms and conditions as they consider appropriate, grant Award Shares to any Eligible Person at a Purchase Price. Such Purchase Price shall be payable by the Grantee upon vesting of the relevant Award Shares in the manner determined by the Board and/or its delegate(s).

Any Award Shares which fail to vest, are forfeited or otherwise lapse for any reason may, at the absolute discretion of the Board and/or its delegate(s), be re-granted for the purposes of the 2026 Share Award Scheme.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the 2026 Share Award Scheme, subject to applicable laws and regulations and the Listing Rules (including Rule 17.03(18) of the Listing Rules), the Board and/or its delegate(s) shall be entitled, in their absolute discretion, to waive any vesting condition(s) set out in the Grant Letter.

  • II-6 -

APPENDIX II SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE 2026 SHARE AWARD SCHEME

The Board and/or its delegate(s) may, in their absolute discretion, determine whether an Eligible Person is required to pay any Purchase Price for obtaining the Awards and, if so required, determine the amount of such Purchase Price after taking into account the practices of comparable companies and the effectiveness of the 2026 Share Award Scheme in attracting talents and incentivizing Eligible Persons to contribute to the long-term development of the Group.

6. EFFECTIVENESS AND DURATION

The 2026 Share Award Scheme shall be valid and effective for a period of ten (10) years commencing from the Adoption Date (the "Scheme Period"), upon the expiry of which no further additional Award Shares may be granted. Where any Award Shares have been granted but have not yet vested prior to the expiry of the Scheme Period, the 2026 Share Award Scheme shall be extended until such Award Shares have fully vested, and the expiry of the Scheme Period shall not affect any subsisting rights granted to any Grantee thereunder.

7. VESTING PERIOD AND LAPSE

Subject to the validity of the 2026 Share Award Scheme and compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, the Board and/or its delegate(s) may from time to time determine the vesting criteria, conditions and the vesting period for the vesting of Award Shares under the 2026 Share Award Scheme. Save for the circumstances set out below, the vesting period of any Award Shares shall not commence earlier than twelve (12) months from (and including) the Grant Date.

In the following circumstances, the Remuneration Committee, the Board or its delegate(s) may, at their sole discretion, determine to shorten the vesting period of Award Shares granted to Employee Participants:

(i) the grant of "make--whole" Awards to new joiners to compensate them for share awards forfeited upon leaving their previous employers;

(ii) grants of Awards made in tranches within a year for administrative or compliance reasons, which include Awards that should have been granted earlier but, due to such administrative or compliance reasons, were required to be granted in a subsequent tranche. In such circumstances, the vesting period may be correspondingly shortened to reflect the time at which the Awards would otherwise have been granted;

(iii) grants with a mixed or accelerated vesting schedule, such as where the Award Shares may vest evenly over a period of twelve (12) months, or vest in several tranches with the first tranche vesting within twelve (12) months after the Grant Date and the last tranche vesting after twelve (12) months from the Grant Date;

(iv) grants subject to performance--based vesting conditions as provided under the Scheme or as specified in the relevant Grant Letter, in lieu of time--based vesting conditions;


APPENDIX II SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE 2026 SHARE AWARD SCHEME

(v) grants to Eligible Persons whose employment is terminated due to death, disability or the occurrence of any force majeure event; and

(vi) where there is a change of control, merger (where the Company ceases to exist as a separate entity), demerger, voluntary liquidation or creditors’ compromise or arrangement.

Awards shall vest only upon the Eligible Persons having satisfied the performance targets (if any) as determined by the Remuneration Committee, the Board or its delegate(s) from time to time. Upon the Board or its delegate(s) deciding to select an Eligible Person for the grant of Awards under the 2026 Share Award Scheme, the performance targets and other relevant conditions (if any) shall be specified in the relevant Grant Letter. The metrics of the performance targets may include:

(i) the annual results and performance of the Group or members of the Group;

(ii) the achievement of milestones of important projects of the Group;

(iii) the key performance indicators of the department and/or business unit to which the Eligible Person belongs; and/or

(iv) the position held by the Eligible Person and the results of his or her annual appraisal, and such targets may vary for different Eligible Persons.

During the vesting period, the Board or its delegate(s) shall, at the end of the relevant performance period, evaluate whether the performance targets required to be achieved by the Eligible Person prior to the vesting of the relevant Awards have been met and the extent to which such targets have been achieved, including by comparing the performance of the Group and/or the individual performance of the Eligible Person against the agreed targets.

If a Grantee fails to satisfy any vesting condition applicable to the vesting of the relevant Award Shares, then unless such vesting condition is waived by the Board and/or its delegate(s), the Award Shares which would otherwise have vested during the relevant vesting period shall not vest and shall, in respect of such Grantee, be returned to the Trustee to be held for the purpose of satisfying other Awards under the 2026 Share Award Scheme. In such circumstances, the Board and/or its delegate(s) shall be entitled to issue a notice to the Trustee in respect of such unvested Award Shares, directing the Trustee to sell the relevant Shares on the open market at the prevailing market price within a reasonable period after receipt of such notice.

  • II-8 -

APPENDIX II SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE 2026 SHARE AWARD SCHEME

Save in any unforeseen circumstances, the Board and/or its delegate(s) shall direct and procure the Trustee to issue a vesting notice (the “Vesting Notice”) to the relevant Grantee within such reasonable period as the Trustee and the Board and/or its delegate(s) may agree from time to time prior to any Vesting Date. The Vesting Notice shall include, among other things, confirmation that the vesting conditions of the Grantee have been satisfied and the Vesting Date, confirmation of the manner of payment of the Purchase Price, and the details of the Grantee’s bank account for the payment of the cash equivalent of the Actual Selling Price (net of the relevant Purchase Price and any applicable taxes payable by the Grantee, if applicable).

Upon receipt of the Vesting Notice, the Grantee (or his/her legal representative) shall promptly reply in writing or by email to the delegate(s). If the delegate(s) do not receive a reply from the Grantee within fifteen (15) business days, then unless the delegate(s) otherwise agree in writing, the Award Shares which would otherwise have vested in such Grantee shall lapse and be returned to the Trust account (in the case of Award Shares sourced from H Shares repurchased on the secondary market by the Trustee). The Grantee shall pay the corresponding Purchase Price in cash to the bank account designated by the Company within the vesting window period, or the Grantee may instruct the Trustee (if applicable) to sell a portion of his/her Award Shares to offset the amount required to be contributed for vesting. Upon the Trustee having received confirmation from the Company that all vesting criteria and conditions set out in the Grant Letter have been satisfied and/or having assisted the Grantee in selling a portion of the Award Shares (if applicable), the Trustee shall vest the remaining Award Shares in the Grantee.

With respect to Award Shares which have vested in the Grantee following the completion of the vesting procedures set out above, the Trustee shall, in accordance with the Grantee’s written instructions from time to time, and subject to compliance with the PRC Company Law, the applicable laws, regulations, rules and normative documents governing the place of incorporation and the place of listing of the Company, and the constitutional documents of the Company, transfer all or part of the vested Award Shares to the Grantee or an entity designated by the Grantee for holding on the date specified by the Grantee, and/or sell all or part of the vested Award Shares at the prevailing market price through on-market transactions and pay the Grantee the cash equivalent of the Actual Selling Price (net of any applicable taxes payable by the Grantee, if applicable).

If, prior to or on the Vesting Date, any of the following events occurs, as a result of which the Grantee ceases to be an Eligible Person, then unless otherwise specifically approved by the Board and/or its delegate(s), all unvested Award Shares shall immediately and automatically lapse:

(i) subject to the clawback mechanism provisions set out below, the Grantee ceases to be employed by, or ceases to hold any position with, the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or is otherwise not in active service for any reason;

(ii) the retirement, disability or death of the Grantee; or

(iii) any other circumstances determined by the Board under which the Grantee is no longer eligible to participate in the 2026 Share Award Scheme.

Such events shall include:

(i) the Grantee commits any material breach of the Group’s internal rules and regulations, the employment contract or service agreement, and/or any confidentiality, intellectual property rights, non-competition or non-solicitation agreement or other relevant undertakings or policies, or otherwise engages in conduct contrary to professional ethics;

(vi) the Grantee engages in unfair competition, makes or disseminates false, misleading or defamatory statements concerning the Group in public or otherwise, or conducts himself/herself in a manner which is reasonably likely to have a material adverse impact on the reputation or business of the Company or any of its connected companies;

(vii) the Grantee breaches any applicable laws or regulations and is subject to administrative penalties (including administrative detention) or is convicted of a criminal offence; or

(viii) any other act, omission, fault or misconduct which, in the reasonable opinion of the Board and/or the delegate(s), has resulted in or is reasonably likely to result in material loss to, or material adverse impact on, the Group or any partnership.

APPENDIX II SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE 2026 SHARE AWARD SCHEME

The Grantee agrees, undertakes and warrants that if, as a result of the occurrence of any of the events set out in the preceding paragraph, the Grantee ceases to be an Eligible Person after the Vesting Date, and where, at such time, there remain any vested Award Shares in respect of which the Trustee has not yet completed the transfer or payment to the Grantee, the Grantee shall voluntarily and irrevocably waive his/her entitlement to such unpaid vested Award Shares. Such Award Shares shall be deemed to have lapsed and shall continue to form part of the Trust.

Any act in material breach of, or any attempted breach of, the foregoing shall entitle the Board and/or its delegate(s) to cancel or deem to have lapsed all or any of the Award Shares which have been granted to the Grantee but not yet vested, without any compensation.

During the Scheme Period, the Trustee shall not exercise any voting rights in respect of any Target Shares held by it under the 2026 Share Award Scheme.

During the Scheme Period, any dividends derived from the Target Shares (if any) shall be held by the Trust for the benefit of each Grantee in proportion to his/her Award Shares, provided that such dividends shall only be paid to the relevant Grantee upon vesting of the corresponding Award Shares.

For the avoidance of doubt:

(i) prior to the vesting and transfer of the Award Shares to the Grantee (where applicable), the Grantee shall not be entitled to any rights attaching to the Target Shares other than dividend rights (including, without limitation, voting rights, rights to bonus issues and rights to participate in rights issues);

(iv) unless otherwise waived by the Board and/or its delegate(s), where the vesting conditions specified in the Award Letter have not been fully satisfied on or prior to the relevant Vesting Date, or where the Grantee ceases to be an Eligible Person prior to the relevant Vesting Date, the Award Shares shall be dealt with in accordance with the provisions of the 2026 Share Award Scheme.

The Grantee agrees, undertakes and warrants that he/she shall not make any claim against the Company, any other member of the Group, the Board, the delegate(s), the Trust or the Trustee under any circumstances.

In the event of an alteration in the capital structure of the Company whilst any award shares remain outstanding, by way of capitalization issue, rights issue, subdivision or consolidation of shares, or reduction of the share capital of the Company in accordance with applicable legal requirements (other than any alteration in the capital structure of the Company as a result of an issue of Shares as consideration in a transaction to which the Company is a party), such corresponding adjustments (if any) shall be made to the number or nominal value of Shares comprised in each Award to the extent outstanding. Such adjustments shall be made in accordance with Rule 17.03(13) of the Listing Rules and the relevant guidance and interpretations issued by the Stock Exchange from time to time.

The Board and/or its delegate(s) may, at their discretion, cancel any unvested Awards or lapsed Awards. Such cancellations shall be notified to the Trustee and the relevant Grantees.

Where the Company cancels any Awards granted to a Grantee and makes a new grant (whether under the 2026 Share Award Scheme or any other share scheme(s)) to the same Grantee, such new grant may only be made within the available Scheme Mandate Limit approved by the Shareholders. The Awards cancelled will be regarded as utilised for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit (and the Service Provider Sublimit).

14. AMENDMENT OF THE 2026 SHARE AWARD SCHEME

Any material amendment to the provisions of the 2026 Share Award Scheme or any amendment to the provisions relating to the matters set out in Rule 17.03 of the Listing Rules which are beneficial to the participants shall be subject to the approval of the Shareholders at a general meeting of the Company.

Any modification to the terms of any Award granted to an Eligible Person shall be approved by the Board, the Remuneration Committee, the independent non-executive Directors and/or the Shareholders (as the case may be), provided that the initial grant of such Award was approved by the Board, the Remuneration Committee, the independent non-executive Directors and/or the Shareholders (as the case may be). This requirement shall not apply where such modification takes effect automatically pursuant to the existing provisions of the 2026 Share Award Scheme.

The amended terms of the 2026 Share Award Scheme shall continue to comply with the relevant requirements of Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules.

Where the Board amends the 2026 Share Award Scheme, the independent non-executive Directors shall exercise supervision to ensure such alteration is conducive to the sustainable development of the Company and such amendment is not prejudicial to the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

PLAN OF KNOWLEDGE ATLAS TECHNOLOGY JOINT STOCK COMPANY LIMITED TO STABILIZE THE COMPANY'S STOCK PRICE WITHIN THREE YEARS AFTER THE INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING OF RMB ORDINARY SHARES (A SHARES) AND LISTING ON THE SCI-TECH BOARD

Given that Knowledge Atlas Technology Joint Stock Company Limited (the "Company") plans to apply for the initial public offering of RMB ordinary shares (A shares) and list on the Sci Tech Innovation Board (STAR Market), in order to protect the interests of public investors, and in accordance with the requirements of the Opinions on Further Promoting the Reform of the New Share Issuance System published by the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), the Company has specially formulated the following plan for stabilizing the Company's share price within three years after the initial public offering of RMB ordinary shares (A shares) and listing on the STAR Market:

I. Specific Conditions for Initiating Measures to Stabilize the A Share Price

Within three years from the date of the Company's A share listing, if the closing price of the Company's A shares for 20 consecutive trading days (the 20th trading day is referred to as the "Trigger Date for Measures to Stabilize A Shares Price"; if during such 20 trading days the Company discloses a new audited net assets per share for the most recent period, then the calculation of such 20 trading days shall restart from the date of disclosure of the new audited net assets per share for the most recent period, the same below) is lower than the audited net assets per share for the most recent period, then the specific conditions for initiating measures to stabilize the A share price are met, and the Company and relevant parties will take relevant measures to stabilize the A share price.

If, before the Company or relevant parties officially announce the measures to be taken to stabilize the A share price, or after the Company and relevant parties take measures to stabilize the A share price, the closing price of the Company's A shares for five consecutive trading days is higher than the Company's audited net assets per share for the most recent period, the initiation or implementation of measures to stabilize the A share price may be terminated.

The abovementioned "net assets per share" refers to the audited total equity attributable to shareholders of the parent company in the Company's most recent consolidated financial statements divided by the total number of shares of the Company as of the audit base date. If, during the period from the audit benchmark date for such period to the Trigger Date for Measures to Stabilize A Shares Price, the Company's net assets or total number of shares changes due to ex rights and ex dividend events such as profit distribution, conversion of capital reserve into share capital, rights issues, bonus issues, etc., the above net assets per share shall be adjusted accordingly.


APPENDIX III

PLAN OF KNOWLEDGE ATLAS TECHNOLOGY JOINT STOCK COMPANY LIMITED TO STABILIZE THE COMPANY'S STOCK PRICE WITHIN THREE YEARS AFTER THE INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING OF RMB ORDINARY SHARES (A SHARES) AND LISTING ON THE SCI-TECH BOARD

II. Specific Measures That May Be Taken

Subject to compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and normative documents, the Company, the Company's joint de facto controllers, the Company's directors (excluding independent non-executive directors and unpaid non-independent directors, hereinafter referred to as "Directors with Purchase Obligations"), and senior management will take the following measures to stabilize the Company's A share price:

(I) A Share Repurchase by the Company

1. Procedure for Initiating A Share Repurchase

Within 10 trading days from the date on which the specific conditions for initiating measures to stabilize the A share price are met, the Company shall formulate an A share repurchase plan and submit it to the board of directors for deliberation. The repurchase plan shall include the repurchase price range, repurchase volume, repurchase period, etc.

If the Company's articles of association then in effect so provide, or if the Company's shareholders' meeting has authorized the board of directors to repurchase A shares, the A share repurchase may be implemented upon resolution of a board meeting attended by two thirds or more of the directors. If the Company's articles of association then in effect do not so provide and the shareholders' meeting has not authorized the board of directors to repurchase A shares, the A share repurchase plan shall be submitted to the shareholders' meeting for deliberation upon consideration and approval by the board of directors, and shall be implemented upon approval by the shareholders' meeting.

The Company's A share repurchase shall comply with the laws, regulations, and relevant normative documents issued by the CSRC and the Shanghai Stock Exchange then in effect, and shall follow the specific procedures for A share repurchase as required by such provisions, and shall make timely information disclosure.

2. Other Conditions for A Share Repurchase

When the specific conditions for initiating measures to stabilize the A share price as set forth in this plan are met, and the following conditions are also met, the Company shall be obligated to initiate the A share repurchase procedure to stabilize the Company's A share price:

(1) The A share repurchase will not cause the Company's share distribution to fail to meet the A share listing conditions;


APPENDIX III

PLAN OF KNOWLEDGE ATLAS TECHNOLOGY JOINT STOCK COMPANY LIMITED TO STABILIZE THE COMPANY'S STOCK PRICE WITHIN THREE YEARS AFTER THE INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING OF RMB ORDINARY SHARES (A SHARES) AND LISTING ON THE SCI-TECH BOARD

(2) The A share repurchase complies with relevant laws, regulations, rules, normative documents, and the relevant provisions of the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

If repurchasing A shares during the implementation period set forth in this plan would result in a violation of any of the above conditions, the Company shall have no obligation to initiate the A share repurchase procedure during such implementation period.

3. Methods of A Share Repurchase

The A share repurchase shall be conducted by means permitted by the Shanghai Stock Exchange securities trading system, including but not limited to centralized bidding, tender offers, and other methods recognized by the CSRC.

4. Price of A Share Repurchase

CHAPTER 4 PRICING PRINCIPLES FOR RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company shall enter into a written agreement for a related party transaction, which shall specify the pricing policy for such related party transaction. During the performance of a related party transaction, if there are material changes to the main terms such as the transaction price in the agreement, the Company shall re-perform the corresponding approval procedures based on the revised transaction amount.

Article 13 The pricing of the Company's related party transactions shall be fair and shall be determined with reference to the following principles:

(I) where the transaction is subject to a government-set price, such price may be directly applied;

(II) where the transaction is subject to a government-guided price, the transaction price may be reasonably determined within the range of the government-guided price;

  • X-6 -

APPENDIX X

MEASURES FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

(III) other than where a government-set price or government-guided price applies, if there is a comparable market price or charging standard from an independent third party for the transaction, such price or standard may be referred to with priority in determining the transaction price;

(IV) where there is no comparable independent third-party market price for the related party transaction, the transaction price may be determined with reference to the price of a non-related transaction between the related party and a third party independent of the related party;

(V) where neither an independent third-party market price nor an independent non-related party transaction price is available for reference, a reasonable cost-plus price may be used as the basis for pricing, with the cost-plus price being reasonable costs and expenses plus a reasonable profit.

Article 14 When the Company determines the price of a related party transaction in accordance with item (III), item (IV) or item (V) of Article 11, it may adopt the following pricing methods depending on the different circumstances of the related party transaction:

(I) cost-plus method, where the price is determined based on the reasonable costs incurred in the related party transaction plus the gross profit of a comparable non-related party transaction. This method is applicable to related party transactions such as procurement, sales, transfer and use of tangible assets, provision of services and financing;

(II) resale price method, which uses the price at which goods purchased from a related party are resold to a non-related party, less the gross profit from a comparable non-related party transaction, as the fair transaction price for the goods purchased from the related party. This method is applicable to simple processing or pure purchase and sale business where the reseller has not performed substantive value-added processing such as changing the appearance, performance or structure of the goods, or changing the trademark;

(III) comparable uncontrolled price method, which determines the price based on the price charged for the same or similar business activities conducted between non-related parties. This method is applicable to all types of related party transactions;

(IV) transactional net margin method, which determines the net profit of a related party transaction based on the profit level indicators of comparable non-related party transactions. This method is applicable to related party transactions such as procurement, sales, transfer and use of tangible assets, and provision of services;

(V) profit split method, which calculates the respective profit to be allocated to the Company and its related party based on their contributions to the combined profit of the related party transaction. This method is applicable to situations where the related party transactions of each participant are highly integrated and it is difficult to evaluate the transaction results of each party separately.

Article 15 Where the pricing of a related party transaction of the Company cannot be determined in accordance with the principles and methods set forth above, the principles and methods for determining the price of such related party transaction shall be disclosed, and an explanation shall be provided regarding the fairness of such pricing.
