(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.

If the Restricted Shares attributed to the Participants for an Attribution period cannot be attributed or cannot be fully attributed due to assessment results, the Restricted Shares which are not attributed 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.

The adjustment method is as follows:

  1. Capitalisation issue, bonus issue and sub-division of shares

Q = Q0 × (1 + n)

– 28 –

Where: Q0 represents the number of Restricted Shares granted/attributed before the adjustment; n represents the ratio of increase per Share resulting from the issue of Shares by capitalisation of capital reserves, bonus issue or sub-division of Shares (i.e., the number of Shares increased per Share upon capitalisation of capital reserves, bonus issue or sub-division of Shares); Q represents the adjusted number of Restricted Shares granted/attributed.

  1. Rights issue

Q = Q0 × P1 × (1 + n) ÷ (P1 + P2 × n)

Where: Q0 represents the number of Restricted Shares granted/attributed before the adjustment; P1 represents the closing price as at the record date; P2 represents the price of the rights issue; n represents the ratio of the rights issue (i.e. the ratio of the number of Shares to be issued under the rights issue to the total share capital of the Company before the rights issue); Q represents the adjusted number of Restricted Shares granted/ attributed.

  1. Share consolidation

Q = Q0 × n

Where: Q0 represents the number of Restricted Shares granted/attributed before the adjustment; n represents the ratio of consolidation of shares (i.e., one share shall be consolidated into n shares); Q represents the adjusted number of Restricted Shares granted/attributed.

  1. New issue of shares

In the event of issue of new shares, no adjustment shall be made to the number of Restricted Shares granted/attributed.

(B) Adjustment method of the Grant Price

In the event of any capitalisation issue, bonus issue, sub-division, rights issue, share consolidation or dividend distribution of the Company in the period from the date of this announcement to the completion of Attribution and registration of Restricted Shares for the Participants, an adjustment to the Grant Price of Restricted Shares shall be made by the Company accordingly. The adjustment method is as follows:

  1. Capitalisation issue, bonus issue and sub-division of shares

P = P0 ÷ (1 + n)

– 29 –

Where: P0 represents the Grant Price before the adjustment; n represents the ratio of increase per share resulting from the capitalisation issue, bonus issue and sub-division of shares to each share; P represents the adjusted Grant Price.

  1. Rights issue

P = P0 × (P1 + P2 × n) ÷ [P1 × (1 + n)]

Where: P0 represents the Grant Price before the adjustment; P1 represents the closing price as at the record date; P2 represents the price of the rights issue; n represents the ratio of the rights issue (i.e., the ratio of the number of shares to be issued under the rights issue to the total share capital of the Company before the rights issue); P represents the adjusted Grant Price.

  1. Share consolidation

P = P0 ÷ n

Where: P0 represents the Grant Price before the adjustment; n represents the ratio of share consolidation; P represents the adjusted Grant Price.

  1. Dividend distribution

(xii) Accounting Treatment and Impact on the Operating Performance

(A) Accounting treatment

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》) of the PRC, 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 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.

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);

– 39 –

  • (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
Shares under costs to be
the First Grant amortised 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027
(RMB (RMB (RMB (RMB (RMB (RMB (RMB
(0’000 shares) 0,000) 0,000) 0,000) 0,000) 0,000) 0,000) 0,000)
286.945 8,264.05 240.04 2,846.59 2,411.52 1,655.92 770.81 339.17

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.

The full text of the Assessment Management Measures will be set out in the circular to be despatched to the Shareholders.

  • (iii) Reasons for and benefits of the adoption of the 2022 A Share Incentive Scheme and the proposed grant of Restricted Shares to the Connected Participants

For the reasons and benefits of the adoption of the 2022 A Share Incentive Scheme, please refer to the section headed ‘‘I. Proposed Adoption of the 2022 A Share Incentive Scheme — (i) Purpose of the 2022 A Share Incentive Scheme’’ in this announcement.

In assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the proposed grant of Restricted Shares to the Connected Participants, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) have taken into consideration, among others, the roles, past performance and the period of service of the Connected Participants in the Group. The participation of the above Connected Participants in the Incentive Scheme is based on their positions as the management personnel and core management/technical personnel of the Company rather than their capacity as de facto controller and/or connected person. The grant of the Restricted Shares to the above Connected Participants recognizes their past contributions to the development and growth to Group and aims to secure their long term continuous support and commitments to the Group which are crucial to the future development and business expansions of the Group. Having them as the Participants are 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 are necessary and reasonable.

Having considered the above, the Directors (including the independent nonexecutive Directors) are of the view that the adoption of the 2022 A Share Incentive Scheme and the Assessment Management Measures and the proposed grant of Restricted Shares to Connected Participants will realize the aforesaid goals, and that the terms and conditions of the 2022 A Share Incentive Scheme and the proposed grant of Restricted Shares to Connected Participants are on normal commercial terms, and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

(iv) 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.

– 44 –

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.

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.
