(e) Performance assessment requirements at the Participant’s individual level
According to the Assessment Management Measures, the Company conducts individual performance assessment on each of the Participants during the assessment year and determines the number of Restricted Shares actually attributed to the Participants based on their assessment results. The performance assessment results of the Participants are divided into four levels, namely A, B, C and D, and the actual number of Restricted Shares to be attributed to the Participants will be determined according to the proportion of Attribution at the individual level corresponding to the following assessment rating table:
| Assessment results | A | B | C | D |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Individual-level attribution | ||||
| ratio | 100% | 0% |
The number of Restricted Shares actually attributed to a Participant in the Attribution period = the number of Restricted Shares planned to be attributed to the individual in that Attribution period × Company-level Attribution ratio × Individual-level Attribution ratio.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
With reference to the ‘‘Application of Share-based Payment Standards — Grant of Restricted Shares 《( 股份支付準則應用案例—授予限制性股票》)’’ issued by the Accounting Department of the Ministry of Finance of the PRC, the measurement of the share-based payment expenses for Type II Restricted Shares is based on share options. In accordance with the relevant requirements of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 11 — Share-based Payments 《( 企業會計準則第11號— 股份支付》) and the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 — Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments 《( 企業會計準則第22號—金 融工具確認和計量》) of the PRC, the Company selected the Black-Scholes model to calculate the fair value of the Type II Restricted Shares, and measured the fair value of the 2,869,450 Restricted Shares under the First Grant on October 14, 2022. Specific parameters are as follows:
-
(1) Underlying share price: RMB58.21 per share (assuming the closing price on the date of the First Grant is the closing price on October 14, 2022);
-
(2) Validity period: 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months and 60 months (the period from the Grant Date of the Restricted Shares to the date of Attribution of each tranche);
-
(3) Historical volatility: 38.3215%, 39.8787%, 42.6063%, 42.2306% and 42.0227% (adopted average annualized volatility of comparable companies in the same industry in the past one, two, three, four, five years);
-
(4) Risk-free interest rate: 1.8051%, 2.0963%, 2.2875%, 2.4097% and 2.5122% (using the 1-year, 2-year, 3-year, 4-year and 5-year-yield rate of treasury bonds disclosed on ChinaBond.com.cn, respectively).
(B) Estimated impact on the operating performance in each accounting period due to the implementation of the Restricted Shares
The fair value of the Restricted Shares on the Grant Date will be determined by the Company in accordance with the requirements of accounting standards, and the costs of payment of shares under the Incentive Scheme will be further determined accordingly. The cost of the Incentive Scheme will be recognised according to the percentage of Attribution during the implementation of the Incentive Scheme and will be charged to the recurring profit and loss.
According to the requirements of the PRC Accounting Standards, the impact of the Restricted Shares under the First Grant of the Incentive Scheme on the accounting costs for each period is as follows (assuming the Company makes the grant in the beginning of December 2022):
| Number of | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Restricted | Total | ||||||

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The above calculation does not include the Reserved Grant, and additional share payment fees will be incurred when the reserved Shares are granted.
According to the preliminary evaluation by the Company based on the information available, the amortisation of expenses of the Restricted Shares will have an impact on the net profit each year within the validity period of the Incentive Scheme. But at the same time, the implementation of the Incentive Scheme will further enhance the cohesion of employees and team stability, and effectively motivate the management team, thereby improving operating efficiency and bringing higher operating performance and intrinsic value to the Company.
III. PROPOSED ADOPTION OF THE ASSESSMENT MANAGEMENT MEASURES
To ensure the smooth implementation of the Incentive Scheme, the Assessment Management Measures have been formulated according to the PRC Company Law, the PRC Securities Law, the Management Measures and other relevant laws, administrative regulations, normative documents, the relevant requirements of the Articles of Association as well as the actual situation of the Company. A special resolution will be proposed at the EGM and the Class Meetings to consider and, if thought fit, approve the adoption of the Assessment Management Measures for implementation of the Incentive Scheme.
The full text of the Assessment Management Measures is set out in Appendix II to this circular. The Assessment Management Measures was prepared in Chinese language. In the event of any discrepancy between the English translation and the Chinese version of the Assessment Management Measures, the Chinese version shall prevail.

Accordingly, the Directors recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of these proposed resolutions at the EGM and the Class Meetings.
– 44 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of a view that the terms of the A Share Incentive Scheme align with the purpose of the A Share Incentive Scheme as set out in the scheme documents. In particular:
-
(i) the Participants include from Directors, senior management, core technical personnel and other employees who the Board considers necessary to be incentivised, and the eligibility of the Participants is consistent with the purpose of the Incentive Scheme, which enables the Company to use share incentives to retain certain outstanding personnel employed with the Group, align the interest of those employees with the Group and fully mobilise their enthusiasm for the benefit of long term growth of the Group;
-
(ii) the Attribution period, either in five tranches after 12 months from the Grant Date or in four tranches after 24 months from the Grant Date, is in line with market practice and can ensure employee loyalty over the long run and increase long-term sustainability for the business development of the Company, and therefore is in line with the purpose of the Incentive Scheme;
-
(iii) the performance targets, being concrete and qualitative rather than generic ones, are closely tied to the Company’s financial performance and R&D progress and are in line with common key performance indicators in the industry of the Group, and therefore is in line with the purpose of the Incentive Scheme;
-
(iv) the determination of the Grant Price is in line with the requirements under the STAR Market Listing Rules and the Management Measures as well as the market practice for determining Grant Price for Type II restricted shares, which can provide the Company with sufficient flexibility to determine the Grant Price that can provide adequate incentive to the Participants to achieve the purpose of the Incentive Scheme; and
-
(v) the clawback mechanism provides an option for the Company to clawback the equity incentives granted to the Participants culpable of misconduct and is in line with the purpose of the Incentive Scheme and the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
VII. LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
As the 2022 A Share Incentive Scheme involves the grant by the Company of its new Shares, the 2022 A Share Incentive Scheme is subject to the regulation by Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules to be effective from January 1, 2023.
As Connected Participants in the First Grant are the Company’s Directors, Supervisors, substantial shareholders and/or their respective associates, they are connected persons of the Company pursuant to Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the proposed grant of Restricted Shares to the Connected Participants contemplated under the Incentive Scheme will constitute fully exempt connected transactions of the Company and will be exempted from the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements pursuant to Rule 14A.92(3) of the Listing Rules to be effective from January 1, 2023.
– 45 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Directors who are also Connected Participants or connected with the Connected Participants (namely Mr. Wang Weidong, Dr. Fang Jianmin, Dr. Wang Liqiang, Mr. Lin Jian and Dr. He Ruyi) have declared their interests in the Incentive Scheme and abstained from voting on the resolutions in relation to the adoption of the proposed Incentive Scheme and the Assessment Management Measures and the proposed issue and grant of the Restricted Shares to the Participants (including the issue and grant of the Restricted Shares to Connected Participants) under the Incentive Scheme at the Board meeting as a result of their interests. Save as Mr. Wang Weidong, Dr. Fang Jianmin, Dr. Wang Liqiang, Mr. Lin Jian and Dr. He Ruyi, there is no other Director who is required to abstain from voting on the Board resolutions in relation to the Incentive Scheme.
In the event that any Reserved Grant (i) will result in the share awards granted to any Participant representing in aggregate over 1% of the issued shares of the Company over any 12-month period up to and including the relevant Grant Date; and/or (ii) will cause the shares awards granted to any Participant who is a Director, chief executive, Supervisor, substantial shareholder of the Company or any of their respective associates, representing in aggregate over 0.1% of the relevant class of Shares in issue of the Company over any 12-month period up to and including the relevant Grant Date, the Company will comply with the relevant requirements under Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules to be effective from January 1, 2023.
Rule 17.03(13) of the Listing Rules requires that the scheme document must include a provision for adjustment to the exercise or purchase price and/or the number of shares subject to options or awards granted under the scheme in the event of a capitalisation issue, rights issue, sub-division or consolidation of shares or reduction of capital. Note to Rule 17.03(13) of the Listing Rules states that any adjustment required under Rule 17.03(13) must give the Participants the same proportion of the equity capital as that to which that person was previously entitled. The Company has applied for, and the Stock Exchange has granted a waiver from strict compliance with the requirements under Rule 17.03(13) of the Listing Rules so as to enable the adjustments to Grant Price of the Restricted Shares granted under the A Share Incentive Scheme in the event of dividend distribution on the basis that, among other things, (i) the Company is a PRC issuer with its A Shares listed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and the A Share Incentive Scheme involves issue of new A Shares only. Therefore, the A Share Incentive Scheme must comply with the PRC laws. As advised by the Company’s PRC legal advisers for the A Share Incentive Scheme, Hai Run Law Firm, the adjustments to the Grant Price of the Restricted Shares granted under the A Share Incentive Scheme in the event of dividend distribution are required by Article 48 of the Management Measures; (ii) the proposed adoption of the A Share Incentive Scheme will be subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the EGM and the Class Meetings, whereby the H Shareholders will have the opportunity to fully consider and evaluate the terms of the A Share Incentive Scheme based on its merits and the interest of the H Shareholders will not be prejudiced; (iii) the number of A Shares proposed to be issued and granted under the A Share Incentive Scheme is 3,580,000 shares, representing only approximately 0.6578% of the total shares of the Company of 544,263,003 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date, and the dilution effect of the A Share Incentive Scheme is minimal; and (iv) the Company believes that the adjustment to the Grant Price of the A Share Incentive Scheme in the event of dividend distribution will not adversely affect interest of Shareholders of the Company.

The total number of underlying shares involved in the all effective share schemes of the Company does not exceed 20% of the total shares of the Company as at the date of announcement of the draft Incentive Scheme.
The Incentive Scheme and the H Share Award and Trust Scheme are independent of, and not connected with each other.

(II) Functional basis for determining the Incentive Participants
The Incentive Participants under the Incentive Scheme are the Company’s Directors, senior management, core technical personnel and other employees (excluding independent Directors and Supervisors) who the Board considers necessary to be incentivised. The list of the Incentive Participants eligible for the Incentive Scheme shall be prepared by the Remuneration Committee and verified and determined by the Supervisory Committee.
II. Scope of the Incentive Participants

-
the Directors and senior management;
-
core technical personnel;
-
other employees who the Board considers necessary to be incentivised.
Among the above Incentive Participants, the Directors must be elected at the general meeting and the senior management must be appointed by the Board. All Incentive Participants must have employment or labour relationship with the Company when the Company grants the Restricted Shares. If the circumstances of the Incentive Participants change before the actual grant of the Restricted Shares by the Board, the Board may make appropriate adjustments to the actual Incentive Participants.
-
(II) The Incentive Participants of the Incentive Scheme include de facto controllers, Wang Weidong (王威東), Wen Qingkai (溫慶凱), Yang Minhua (楊敏華), Wei Jianliang (魏建良), Lin Jian (林健), Wang Yuxiao (王玉曉), the son of Wang Weidong (the de facto controller) and the shareholder individually or jointly holding more than 5% of the shares of the Company, Wang Yinxiao (王寅曉), the son of Wang Xudong (王旭東), and Jiang Jing (姜靜), the spouse of Wang Liqiang (王荔 強). The reasons for the Company to include them in the Incentive Scheme are as follows:
-
As the chairman of the Company, Mr. Wang Weidong has a significant impact on the Company’s strategic policies, business decisions and major operational and management matters. He is responsible for formulating the Company’s overall R&D strategies, participating in the formulation of development plans for important R&D projects, and as the core of the Company’s actual operation and management, leading the continuous introduction of talents in the development stage of the Company and making significant contributions to the Company.
– I-10 –
2022 A SHARE INCENTIVE SCHEME
APPENDIX I
-
Mr. Lin Jian, as an executive Director of the Company, has long participated in and formulated the Company’s strategic direction, operational decisions and major operational and management matters.
-
As the secretary to the Board, Mr. Wen Qingkai is fully responsible for the information disclosure, investor relations, investment and financing activities of the Company. On the other hand, he provides strong management support for the Company’s internal governance and capital operation.
-
Ms. Yang Minhua, as the vice president of human resources of the Company, has been coordinating and planning the human resources strategy of the Company for many years, establishing and improving the human resources management mechanism and system to support the implementation of the overall strategy of the Company.
-
As the Executive Director of International Cooperation Department of the Company, Mr. Wang Yuxiao is mainly responsible for organizing the formulation and implementation of the Company’s international cooperation work objectives, work systems and processes, and coordinating and arranging participation in relevant international conferences, exhibitions, talks and other foreign affairs activities. He is also responsible for seeking overseas partners and promoting the clinical research and commercialization of the Company’s product pipeline worldwide.
-
As the deputy director of securities affairs of the Company, Mr. Wang Yinxiao is mainly responsible for assisting the secretary of the Board in organizing the preparation of the three meetings of the Company and the drafting of relevant documents, participating in and organising the disclosure of information of the Company, liaising with various intermediaries and regulatory authorities on a daily basis, and coordinating the management of investor relations.
-
As the vice President of the Company, Ms. Jiang Jing is mainly responsible for the management of the non-clinical research department, and her main responsibilities include but not limited to: continuously building the technical platform related to non-clinical research and improving the functions of the department according to the Company’s R&D strategy, and building and managing the experimental animal platform according to the laws and regulations, conducting pharmacological, toxicological and pharmacogenetic research of the approved projects and the establishment and development of related methods, and undertaking the abnormal toxicity examination of the Company’s products.

– I-11 –
2022 A SHARE INCENTIVE SCHEME
APPENDIX I
Therefore, the participation of Wang Weidong, Lin Jian, Wen Qingkai, Yang Minhua, Wei Jianliang, Wang Yuxiao, Wang Yinxiao and Jiang Jing in the Incentive Scheme is based on their positions as the management personnel and core management/technical personnel of the Company rather than the de facto controller or connected person. All of them play an important role in the operation and management of the Company. Having them as the Incentive Participants is in line with the actual situation and development needs of the Company and in compliance with the requirements of the Management Measures, the STAR Market Listing Rules and other relevant laws and regulations, and is necessary and reasonable.
-
(III) The Incentive Participants of the Incentive Scheme include some foreign employees. The reason for the Company to include them in the Incentive Scheme is that: in the biopharmaceutical industry in which the Company operates, the competition for talents is relatively fierce, and the foreign employees of the Incentive Participants play an important role in the Company’s technology research and development and business expansion, etc., and equity incentives are commonly used incentives for overseas companies. The inclusion of them in the Incentive Scheme is conducive to promoting the construction and stability of the Company’s core talent team and the long-term development of the Company. Therefore, it is necessary and reasonable for the Incentive Scheme to include such employees as Incentive Participants in line with the actual situation and development needs of the Company and the requirements of the Management Measures, the STAR Market Listing Rules and other relevant laws and regulations.
-
(IV) Incentive Participants for the Reserved Grant shall be determined within 12 months from the date on which the Incentive Scheme is considered and approved at the general meeting and the A shareholder class meeting and H shareholder class meeting. Upon the proposal by the Board, the opinions of the independent Directors and the Supervisory Committee, the professional opinions of the lawyers and the issuance of legal opinions, the Company shall disclose the relevant information of the Incentive Participants on the designated website in a timely and accurate manner as required. If the Incentive Participants are not determined for more than 12 months, the reserved interests shall lapse. The basis for determining the Incentive Participants of the Reserved Grant shall refer to the basis of the First Grant.
III. Verification of Incentive Participants
-
(I) After the Incentive Scheme has been reviewed and approved by the Board, the Company shall publish the names and positions of the Incentive Participants for not less than ten (10) days within the Company via the Company’s website or other channels.
-
(II) The Supervisory Committee will review the list of Incentive Participants, fully listen to the public opinions, and disclose the explanation of the Supervisory Committee on the review and publication of the list of Incentive Participants five (5) days before the Incentive Scheme is considered at the general meeting and the A

If the Company fails to meet the above performance indicators, all the Restricted Shares that are not attributed to the Incentive Participants for the current period shall not be attributed or deferred to the next Attribution Period, and shall lapse.
- (V) Performance assessment requirements at the Incentive Participant’s individual level
According to the Assessment Management Measures, the Company conducts individual performance assessment on the Incentive Participants during the assessment year and determines the number of Restricted Shares actually attributed to the Incentive Participants based on their assessment results. The performance assessment results of the Incentive Participants are divided into four levels, namely A, B, C and D, and the actual number of Shares to be attributed to the Incentive Participants will be determined according to the proportion of Attribution at the individual level corresponding to the following assessment rating table:
| Assessment results | A | B | C | D |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Individual-level Attribution ratio | 100% | 0% |
The number of Restricted Shares actually attributed to the Incentive Participants in the current year = the number of Restricted Shares planned to be attributed to individuals in the current year × Company-level Attribution ratio × Individual-level Attribution ratio.
If the Restricted Shares attributed to the Incentive Participants for an Attribution period cannot be attributed or cannot be fully attributed due to assessment reasons, the Restricted Shares shall lapse and shall not be deferred to the following years.
The assessments under the Incentive Scheme are implemented in accordance with the Assessment Management Measures.

APPENDIX I
III. Explanation on the scientificity and reasonableness of the assessment indicators
The Company is an innovative biopharmaceutical company with a global vision. Since its establishment, it has been focusing on therapeutic antibody drugs such as antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), antibody fusion proteins, monoclonal antibodies and bispecific antibodies. Relying on its core technology platform and strong R&D capabilities, the Company has always been committed to developing targeted biological innovative drugs with new structures and mechanisms, and showing breakthrough therapeutic effects in clinical trials through selfdeveloped innovative products.
The assessment indicators of the Incentive Scheme are divided into two levels, namely performance assessment at Company level and performance assessment at individual level.
The Company’s performance indicators include operating income and number of clinical trials. Operating income indicators can truly reflect the Company’s operating conditions and market conditions, and are effective indicators for predicting the trend of business expansion and measuring the growth of the Company. The long R&D cycle of original innovative drugs, large capital investment, high technical barriers, and the number of clinical trials can truly reflect the Company’s R&D progress, which is an important indicator to measure the Company’s future development potential. The Company has set the performance assessment indicators for the Incentive Scheme after taking into account the macroeconomic environment, the Company’s historical performance, industry development, market competition and the Company’s future development plan and other relevant factors. The assessment indicators set in the Scheme are challenging to a certain extent, which will help enhance the Company’s competitiveness and motivate the employees, ensure the realisation of the Company’s future development strategy and business objectives, and bring more efficient and lasting returns to the Shareholders.
In addition to performance assessment at the Company level, the Company has also set up a strict performance assessment system for individuals, which can make a relatively accurate and comprehensive evaluation of the work performance of the Incentive Participants. The Company will determine whether the Incentive Participants meet the Attribution Conditions based on their performance assessment results for the previous year.
In summary, the assessment system of the Incentive Scheme of the Company is all-round, comprehensive and practicable, and the assessment indicators are scientific and reasonable, which are binding on the Incentive Participants and can serve the assessment purpose of the Incentive Scheme.

CHAPTER XI ACCOUNTING TREATMENT ON THE RESTRICTED SHARES
In accordance with the requirements of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 11 – Share-based Payments 《( 企業會計準則第11號—股份支付》) and the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments 《( 企業會計準則第22號—金融工具確認和計量》), the Company shall, on each balance sheet date during the period from the Grant Date to the Attribution Date, revise the number of Restricted Shares expected to be attributed according to the latest
– I-37 –
2022 A SHARE INCENTIVE SCHEME
APPENDIX I
information such as the change in the number of persons entitled to be attributed and the completion of performance indicators, and recognise the services obtained in the current period in relevant costs or expenses and capital reserve according to the fair value of the Restricted Shares on the Grant Date.
I. Fair value of the Restricted Shares and the determination method
With reference to the ‘‘Application of Share-based Payment Standards – Grant of Restricted Shares 《( 股份支付準則應用案例—授予限制性股票》)’’ issued by the Accounting Department of the Ministry of Finance of the People’s Republic of China, the measurement of the share-based payment expenses for Type II Restricted Shares is based on share options. In accordance with the relevant requirements of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 11 – Share-based Payments 《( 企業會計準則第11號—股份支付》) and the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments 《( 企業會計準則第22號—金融工具確認和計量》), the Company selected the Black-Scholes model to calculate the fair value of the Type II Restricted Shares, and measured the fair value of the 2,869,450 Restricted Shares under the First Grant on October 14, 2022. Specific parameters are as follows:
-
(I) Underlying share price: RMB58.21/share (assuming the closing price on the date of the First Grant is the closing price on October 14, 2022);
-
(II) Validity Period: 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months and 60 months (the period from the Grant Date of the Restricted Shares to the date of Attribution of each tranche);
-
(III) Historical volatility: 38.3215%, 39.8787%, 42.6063%, 42.2306% and 42.0227% (adpoting the average annualized volatility of comparable companies in the same industry for the past one, two, three, four, five years);
-
(IV) Risk-free interest rate: 1.8051%, 2.0963%, 2.2875%, 2.4097% and 2.5122% (using the 1-year, 2-year, 3-year, 4-year and 5-year-yield rate of treasury bonds disclosed on ChinaBond.com.cn, respectively).
II. Estimated impact on operating performance in each period due to implementation of the Restricted Shares
The fair value of the Restricted Shares on the Grant Date will be determined by the Company in accordance with the requirements of accounting standards, and the share-based payments under the Incentive Scheme will be further determined accordingly, which will be amortised according to the percentage as set out in the Attribution arrangement during the implementation of the Incentive Scheme. The costs of incentive arising from the Incentive Scheme will be charged to the recurring profit and loss.
– I-38 –
2022 A SHARE INCENTIVE SCHEME
APPENDIX I
According to the requirements of the PRC Accounting Standards, the impact of the Restricted Shares under the First Grant of the Incentive Scheme on the accounting costs for each period is as follows (assuming the Company makes the grant in the beginning of December 2022):
| Number of | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Restricted Shares | Total | ||||||
| under the | costs to be | ||||||
| First Grant | amortised | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 | 2026 | 2027 |
| (0’000 shares) | (RMB0’000) | (RMB0’000) | (RMB0’000) | (RMB0’000) | (RMB0’000) | (RMB0’000) | (RMB0’000) |
| 286.945 | 8,264.05 | 240.04 | 2,846.59 | 2,411.52 | 1,655.92 | 770.81 | 339.17 |
Notes:
-
The above calculation results do not represent the final accounting costs. The actual accounting costs are related to the Grant Date, the Grant Price and the number of Restricted Shares attributed. If an Incentive Participant resigns before Attribution, or fails to meet the corresponding standards of the performance assessment of the Company or personal performance assessment, the actual number of shares attributed will be reduced accordingly and thus lower the share payment. Besides, the possible dilutive effects are brought to the attention of shareholders.
-
The final result of the above impact on the Company’s operating results will be subject to the annual audit report issued by the accounting firm.
The above calculation does not include the Reserved Grant of Restricted Shares, and additional share payment fees will be incurred when the reserved shares are granted.
According to the preliminary evaluation by the Company based on the information available, the amortisation of expenses of the Restricted Shares will have an impact on the net profit each year within the Validity Period. But at the same time, the implementation of the Restricted Share Incentive Scheme will further enhance the cohesion of employees and team stability, and effectively motivate the management team, thereby improving operating efficiency and bringing higher operating performance and intrinsic value to the Company.
