The purpose of this circular is to provide you with further details of the Scheme.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED ADOPTION OF THE SCHEME

The purpose of the Scheme is to further optimize the corporate governance structure, establish and improve the incentive and discipline mechanism of Shanghai Shimao, unleash motivation of the management, function as a measure to attract and retain quality executives, align the interests of Shanghai Shimao Shareholders and corporate interests with personal interests of the management for building a common vision of long-term development of Shanghai Shimao, and to provide individual employees with incentives through profit sharing, thus securing the sustainable healthy development of Shanghai Shimao.

Options will be granted under the Scheme as incentives to selected Participants. The shares subject to the Options are A Shares. Participants who are granted with the Options will be entitled to acquire A Shares at a pre-determined price during the exercise period of the relevant Options, subject to the fulfilment of the relevant conditions and the terms of the Scheme. The A Shares issued upon the exercise of the Options, shall rank pari passu in all respects with the existing issued and paid-up A Share capital including the voting, dividend, transfer and other rights attached to the A Shares in issue, except that those A Shares acquired by any director or senior management of Shanghai Shimao pursuant to the exercise of the Options are not transferrable within half a year after he/she terminates his/her employment with Shanghai Shimao. The Options granted are not transferrable. No dividend will be payable and no voting rights will be exercisable in relation to the Options that have not been exercised.

The number of A Shares which will be issued under the Options which may be granted under the Scheme is 10,000,000 A Shares, representing approximately 0.85% of the total number of A Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date if all the Options are exercised.

The proposed Participants of the Scheme include directors, senior management and mid-level key managerial personnel of Shanghai Shimao, totalling 18 individuals, which represents 0.8% of the total number of employees of Shanghai Shimao as at 31 December 2012. The details of the proposed Participants of the Options under the Scheme as set out in the paragraphs headed “Source and number of A Shares under the Scheme – (3) Allocation of the Options under the Grant” in the Appendix to this circular. Two of the proposed Participants under the Scheme, namely Ms. Hui Mei Mei, Carol and Mr. Lee Chun Kit, William are connected persons of the Group. Ms. Hui Mei Mei, Carol is the daughter of Mr. Hui Wing Mau, a director and the chairman of the Company as well as substantial Shareholder who held interest in 2,216,437,442 Shares representing approximately 63.83% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. Ms. Hui Mei Mei, Carol is also the sister of Mr. Hui Sai Tan, Jason, a director and the vice chairman of the Company. Mr. Lee Chun Kit, William is the husband of Ms. Hui Mei Mei, Carol and the son-in-law of Mr. Hui Wing Mau.

The Shanghai Shimao Board will, within 30 days from the date of fulfillment of the Conditions, grant all the Options to the Participants in accordance with applicable rules on a date determined by the Shanghai Shimao Board. No amount is payable on application or acceptance of the Option by the grantees of the Options.

The exercise of the Options under the Grant is subject to a restriction of 12 months from the date of Grant, during which period the Options are not exercisable. Subject to the fulfillment of various conditions as provided in the Scheme, the Options granted under the Scheme can be exercised in two batches commencing from (i) the first trading day after the expiry of the 12-month period from the date of Grant and (ii) the first trading day after the expiry of the 24-month period from the date of Grant respectively, and the details of

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

which are set forth in the paragraphs headed “Exercise Periods” in the Appendix to this circular. The 12 months restriction period may provide incentives to the Participants to remain employed with Shanghai Shimao during such period and thereby enable Shanghai Shimao to benefit from the continued service of such Participants, thus providing long-term rewards and retention incentives to the Participants and attract and retain human resources that are valuable to the growth and development of Shanghai Shimao as a whole.

In addition, the Options may only be exercised by the Participants upon achieving certain performance targets as set out in the Scheme. These include achieving certain grading by the Participant in his/her performance appraisal under the appraisal methods of Shanghai Shimao according to the “Measures for Performance Appraisal for the Share Option Incentive Scheme of Shanghai Shimao Co., Ltd.” (上海世茂股份有限公司股 票期權激勵計劃實施考核辦法) and other financial performance target by Shanghai Shimao. For details, please refer to the paragraphs headed “Conditions of exercise of Options” in the Appendix to this circular. These requirements, together with the restriction period as mentioned above, may enable Shanghai Shimao to provide incentives to the Participants to motivate their pro-activeness in using best endeavours to facilitate the growth and development of Shanghai Shimao. The above also correlates their interests with the long term development of Shanghai Shimao.

The exercise price of the Options proposed to be granted under the Scheme shall be RMB9.84 per A Share, which is the higher of the followings:

  • (i) the closing price of the A Shares quoted on the Shanghai Stock Exchange on the last trading day immediately preceding the date of the announcement on the draft of the Scheme made by Shanghai Shimao (i.e. 11 April 2013), which was RMB9.74 per A Share; and

  • (ii) the average of the closing prices of the A Shares quoted on the Shanghai Stock Exchange for the last 30 trading days immediately preceding the date of the announcement on the draft of the Scheme made by Shanghai Shimao, which was RMB9.84 per A Share.

Note 1 to Rule 17.03(9) of the Listing Rules requires that the exercise price must be at least the higher of (i) the closing price of securities as stated in the daily quotations sheet of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on the date of grant; and (ii) the average closing price of the securities as stated in the daily quotations sheets of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for the five business days immediately preceding the date of grant. Note 2 to Rule 17.03(9) provides that the aforesaid requirement does not apply to a share option scheme of a subsidiary of the listed issuer if the subsidiary's securities are not listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Given the Scheme is a proposed share option scheme of Shanghai Shimao, a subsidiary of the Company and a company established in the PRC whose shares are listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, no waiver from the strict compliance of Note 1 to Rule 17.03(9) of the Listing Rules needs to be obtained.

In the event of any capitalisation issue, bonus issue or sub-division or consolidation of share capital in Shanghai Shimao, allotment of A Shares to existing Shanghai Shimao Shareholders, new issue of A Shares and declaration of dividend of Shanghai Shimao subsequent to the date of the announcement on the Scheme by Shanghai Shimao, the number of Options and exercise price shall be adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Scheme. For details, please refer to the paragraphs headed “Adjustments” in the Appendix to this circular. In respect of any such adjustments, other than any made on a capitalisation issue, an independent financial adviser or the Group’s auditors will review and confirm to the Directors in writing that the adjustments satisfy the requirements set out in the note to Rule 17.03(13) of the Listing Rules.
