Conditions precedent
The proposed allotment and issue of not more than 5,536,322 Restricted Shares to the Nonconnected Grantees shall be subject to (i) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange having granted the approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in such Restricted Shares; (ii) the fulfilment of the conditions as set out in the Share Award Scheme Rules and the conditions as specified by the Board in the letters of grant; and (iii) the acceptance of the Non-connected Grantees.
The proposed allotment and issue of 436,000 Connected Restricted Shares to the Connected Grantees shall be subject to (i) the approval by the Independent Shareholders at the EGM in respect of the proposed allotment and issue of the Connected Restricted Shares, the Specific Mandate and the transactions contemplated thereunder; (ii) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange having granted the approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in the Connected Restricted Shares; (iii) the fulfilment of the conditions as set out in the Share Award Scheme Rules and the conditions as specified by the Board in the letters of grant; and (iv) the acceptance of the Connected Grantees.
Pursuant to the Share Award Scheme Rules, unless otherwise determined by the Board at its discretion, where the relevant Share Award Grantee is an employee of the Group as at the Date of Grant, in the event that prior to or on the relevant vesting date (a) the relevant Share Award Grantee fails to remain to be an employee of the Group; or (b) the subsidiary by which the relevant Share Award Grantee is employed as at the Date of Grant ceases to be a subsidiary of the Company (or of a member of the Group), the award of the Restricted Shares shall automatically lapse forthwith and all the Restricted Shares of such award and related distributions shall not vest on the relevant vesting dates.
It is currently anticipated that certain Share Award Grantees will cease to be the employees of the Group prior to or on the relevant vesting date as a result of (i) their employment may transfer to certain joint venture companies set up by the Group and the business partners, and such joint venture companies are not subsidiaries of the Company; or (ii) the companies by which they are employed as at the Date of Grant may cease to be the subsidiaries of the Company as the Group’s shareholding in these subsidiaries may be diluted or reduced due to possible adjustment of the Group’s strategic development plans and future business needs.
Considering (i) these Share Award Grantees have made a significant contribution to the business of the Group in the past, and (ii) the employments of the relevant Share Award Grantees in the aforementioned joint ventures and companies will continue to be instrumental to the Group as these joint ventures and companies represent important investments of the Group which may create long term investment return to the Group, the Board believes it would be important to allow these Share Award Grantees to retain their awards of the Restricted Shares in order to secure their continued support for the future of the Group. Therefore, the Board resolved at a Board meeting held on 28 December 2021 that as long as these Share Award Grantees are employees of the aforementioned
– 8 –
joint ventures and companies and the Group continues to have shareholding interest in the aforementioned joint ventures and companies on the relevant vesting date, even if these Share Award Grantees fail to remain to be employees of the Group or the companies by which they are employed as at the Date of Grant cease to be the subsidiaries of the Company, the awards of the Restricted Shares to these Share Award Grantees shall not automatically lapse and all the Restricted Shares of such awards and related distributions shall be vested in accordance with their respective original vesting schedules.
2021 General Mandate
Pursuant to the 2021 General Mandate granted by the Shareholders at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 25 October 2021, the Board is authorized to allot and issue up to 80,430,107 Shares, representing 20% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of such annual general meeting. As at the date of this announcement, no Shares have been allotted and issued pursuant to the 2021 General Mandate. Accordingly, the 2021 General Mandate is sufficient for the issue of the Restricted Shares to the Nonconnected Grantees.
REASONS FOR THE GRANT OF RESTRICTED SHARES
The Group is principally engaged in provision of data solutions, sales of hardware and software and related services as an integrated service, and information technology maintenance and support services.
The Share Award Scheme forms part of the incentive schemes of the Group. The Board considers that the grant of the Restricted Shares to the Share Award Grantees (i) recognize the contributions made to the Group by the Share Award Grantees; (ii) encourage, motivate and retain the Share Award Grantees, whose contributions are beneficial to the continual operation, development and long-term growth of the Group; and (iii) provide additional incentive for the Share Award Grantees to achieve performance goals, with a view to achieving the objectives of increasing the value of the Group and aligning the interests of the Share Award Grantees to the Shareholders through ownership of Shares.
The Board considers that the terms and conditions of the grant of the Restricted Shares to the Non-connected Grantees and the proposed grant of the Connected Restricted Shares to the Connected Grantees are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
As the Restricted Shares will be satisfied by new Shares to be allotted and issued to the Share Award Grantees by the Company under the 2021 General Mandate or Specific Mandate, applications will be made by the Company to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in the new Shares on the Stock Exchange.
