To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

(1) PROPOSAL FOR TERMINATION OF
THE 2016 SHARE OPTION SCHEME
AND ADOPTION OF THE 2025 SHARE OPTION SCHEME;
AND
(2) NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

  1. INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information and to seek your approval, inter alia, on (1) the proposed termination of the 2016 Share Option Scheme and the adoption of the 2025 Share Option Scheme; and (2) the notice of the EGM.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. PROPOSED TERMINATION OF 2016 SHARE OPTION SCHEME AND ADOPTION OF THE 2025 SHARE OPTION SCHEME

Proposed termination of the 2016 Share Option Scheme

Pursuant to a written resolution passed by the Shareholders, the Company adopted the 2016 Share Option Scheme on 1 February 2016, which became effective on 10 March 2016. The 2016 Share Option Scheme is due to expire on 9 March 2026.

Following the amendments to Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules which took effect on 1 January 2023, the Company proposes to terminate the 2016 Share Option Scheme and adopt the 2025 Share Option Scheme in order to conform with the new requirements under the Listing Rules.

Since the adoption of the 2016 Share Option Scheme and up to the Latest Practicable Date, a total of 30,000,000 options were granted on 21 September 2016. Among these, 12,000,000 options were exercised, 2,500,000 options were forfeited, and 15,500,000 options were lapsed under the 2016 Share Option Scheme. Therefore, there were no outstanding options under the 2016 Share Option Scheme as at the Latest Practicable Date. Upon termination of the 2016 Share Option Scheme, no further share option may be granted under the 2016 Share Option Scheme.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company's unutilised scheme mandate limit under the 2016 Share Option Scheme would allow the grant of options of over 160,000,000 Shares. The Company has no intention to grant further share options under the 2016 Share Option Scheme during the period from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of EGM.

According to the terms of the 2016 Share Option Scheme, the Board at any time terminate the 2016 Share Option Scheme.

Subject to the adoption of the 2025 Share Option Scheme as detailed below, the Board will terminate the 2016 Share Option Scheme. As at the Latest Practicable Date, save for the 2016 Share Option Scheme, the Company had no other subsisting share schemes under which the Company may grant any options over new Shares or awards in the form of new Shares or existing Shares.

Adoption of the 2025 Share Option Scheme

Reasons for the adoption of the 2025 Share Option Scheme

The Board proposed adopting the 2025 Share Option Scheme to increase the Group's value and align the interests of the Selected Participants directly with the Shareholders through share ownership.

The 2025 Share Option Scheme aim to (i) recognise the contributions made by certain Selected Participants by providing them with an opportunity to acquire a


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

proprietary interest in the Company; (ii) encourage and retain such individuals for the continual operation and development of the Group; (iii) provide additional incentives for them to achieve performance goals; (iv) attract suitable personnel for further development of the Group; and (v) motivate the Selected Participants to maximise the value of the Company for the benefits of both the Selected Participants and the Company.

Conditions precedent of the 2025 Share Option Scheme

The 2025 Share Option Scheme will take effect on the Adoption Date upon the satisfaction of the following conditions:

(a) the passing of ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM to approve the adoption of the 2025 Share Option Scheme and to authorise the Directors to grant Share Options thereunder and to allot, issue and deal with Shares pursuant to the grant of any Share Option in accordance with the rules of the 2025 Share Option Scheme, provided that the allotment and issuance of new Shares under the 2025 Share Option Scheme or any other share schemes of the Company shall not exceed the Scheme Mandate Limit; and

(b) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, any Shares to be allotted and issued pursuant to Share Options that may be granted under the 2025 Share Option Scheme.

Eligible Participants

The Eligible Participants of the 2025 Share Option Scheme include (i) the Employee Participants; and (ii) the Related Entity Participants, provided that the Board may have absolute discretion to determine whether or not one falls within the above category. The eligibility of each of the Eligible Participant shall be determined by the Board.

For the Employee Participants, the Board will generally consider, among others, (i) the individual performance; (ii) time commitment, responsibilities or employment conditions according to the prevailing market practice and industry standard; (iii) the length of engagement with the Group.

For the Related Entity Participants, the Board will generally consider, among others, their participation and contribution to the development of the Group and/or the extent of benefits and synergies brought to the Group.

Board's view

The scope of the Employee Participants includes independent non-executive Directors. Having considered that (i) equity-based remuneration continues to be an important means of ensuring the alignment between the interests of Shareholders

  • 7 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

and the Directors, including the independent non-executive Directors; and (ii) incentivising and promoting the past and future contributions of the independent non-executive Directors who provide valuable insight and advices to the Company with their deep industry knowledge and professional background, the Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) believes the inclusion of the independent non-executive Directors as Eligible Participants and the flexibility to grant the Options to the independent non-executive Directors in addition to cash-based incentives will allow the Company to keep its remuneration package competitive in order to attract and retain talents.

For the Related Entity Participants, in addition to the contributions made by the Group's employees, the success of the Group may also be influenced by the efforts and contributions of non-employees, such as the Related Entity Participants. These individuals, including directors or employees of the Company's associated companies, can play a significant role in supporting the Group and fostering the development and growth of its business through potential future collaborations, partnerships, or project engagements.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider the inclusion of Related Entity Participants in the 2025 Share Option Scheme are in line with the Company's business needs and the purposes of the 2025 Share Option Scheme, is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and the criteria for the election of Eligible Participants align with the purpose of the 2025 Share Option Scheme, based on the following reasons:

(a) establishing sustainable and stable relationships with the Related Entity Participants is essential to the Group's business development. By granting Share Options to the Related Entity Participants, their interests will be aligned with those of the Group, incentivizing them to actively contribute to the growth and development of the Group's business; and
(b) while the Related Entity Participants may not be directly appointed and employed by the associated companies of the Company, their collaborative and corporate relationships often serve as valuable resources, positively impacting the Group's reputation, operations, and overall performance.

In determining the eligibility criteria for the Related Entity Participants, the Board would consider factors such as (i) the degree of their involvement in and/or cooperation with the Group; (ii) the duration and strength of their collaborative relationships established with the Group, and (iii) their contributions to the success of the Group, including synergies and benefits brought through their associations with associated companies of the Group. As such, the Company would only grant Options to the Related Entity Participants who have a high level of involvement and contribution to the Group, such that he will be in a position to influence the Group's business, reputation, operations and/or performance.

  • 8 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Given the above, the independent non-executive Directors are of the view that (i) the inclusion of Related Entity Participants are in line with (a) the purposes of the 2025 Share Option Scheme to incentivise or reward contributions of such persons to the growth and development of the Group and align their interests with the financial and business performance of the Group; and (b) the long term interests of the Company and its shareholders, and (ii) the proposed categories of the Related Entity Participants and their selection criteria in determining the eligibility of such Related Entity Participants and terms of grants thereto align with the Group's business needs and the purposes of the 2025 Share Option Scheme, respectively.

The 2025 Share Option Scheme – Scheme Mandate Limit

The maximum total number of new Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all Options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and other share schemes must not in aggregate exceed 10% of the total number of Shares in issue (excluding any treasury shares) as at the Adoption Date.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of issued Shares (excluding treasury Shares) was 2,032,890,585 Shares. Assuming that there is no change in the number of issued Shares between the Latest Practicable Date and the Adoption Date, the total number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all Options to be granted under the New Share Option Scheme together with options and awards which may be granted under any other share schemes for the time being of the Company would be 203,289,058 Shares, representing approximately 10% of the total number of Shares in issue (excluding treasury Shares) as at the Adoption Date.

Vesting Period

To ensure the practicability in fully attaining the purpose of the 2025 Share Option Scheme, the Board is of the view that (i) there are certain instances where a strict twelve (12)-month vesting requirement would not work or would not be fair to the holders of the Share Options, which are set out in the paragraph headed "16. VESTING SCHEDULE" in the Appendix to this circular; (ii) there is a need for the Company to retain flexibility to reward exceptional performers with accelerated vesting or in exceptional circumstances where justified; and (iii) the Company should be allowed discretions to formulate its own talent recruitment and retention strategies in response to changing market conditions and industry competition, and thus should have flexibility to impose vesting conditions such as performance-based vesting conditions instead of time-based vesting criteria depending on individual circumstances.

Hence, the Board is of the view that the shorter vesting period prescribed in the paragraph headed "16. VESTING SCHEDULE" in the Appendix to this circular is in line with the market practice and is appropriate and aligns with the purpose of the 2025 Share Option Scheme.

  • 9 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Basis of determining the exercise price of Share Options

Grantees to whom Share Options shall be granted, are entitled to subscribe for the number of Shares at the exercise price as determined on the Offer Date. The basis for determining the exercise price is also specified in the rules of the 2025 Share Option Scheme and is summarised under paragraph headed "5. PRICE OF SHARES" in the Appendix to this circular. As the exercise price must be not less than the price stipulated in the Listing Rules, it is expected that Grantees will endeavour to contribute to the development of the Group so as to bring about an increased market price of the Shares in order to capitalise on the benefits of the Share Options, which in turn is expected to benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Board considers that such basis is in line with the requirement of the Listing Rules while providing the Company with sufficient flexibility to determine the exercise price of Options that can provide sufficient incentive to the Eligible Persons to achieve the purpose of the 2025 Share Option Scheme and serving to preserve the value of the Company as well as encouraging the Eligible Persons to acquire proprietary interests in the Company.

Performance targets and clawback mechanism

Vesting of Share Options will be subject to performance targets, if any, to be satisfied by the Eligible Participants as determined by the Board from time to time. The performance targets may comprise a mixture of attaining satisfactory key performance indicators components (such as the business performance and financial performance of the Group or departmental and individual performance based on the annual performance assessment results) which may vary among the Eligible Participants. For the avoidance of doubt, the performance targets are not applicable to independent non-executive Directors. Such performance targets will be consistent with the purpose of the 2025 Share Option Scheme as it encourages the Eligible Participants to achieve such performance target thereby increasing the value of the Group.

Upon the occurrence of certain events in relation to an Eligible Participant, no further Share Options may be granted to such Eligible Participants and the Share Options granted to such Eligible Participants shall be clawed back and such Share Options shall lapse accordingly on the date as determined by the Board (if such Share Options are unvested). In addition, where a Share Option granted to an Eligible Participant has been vested and already exercised, at the time when the Eligible Participant's Share Options are clawed back, the Eligible Participant shall return, by the Board's determination at its sole and absolute discretion, either (i) the exact number of the relevant vested and clawed back underlying Shares in respect of such Share Options, or (ii) the monetary amount equivalent to the value of the relevant underlying Shares of the Share Options (I) on the Grant Date, (II) on the date of vesting of the relevant Share Options, or (III) on the date of such clawback.

  • 10 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

For details of the clawback mechanism of the 2025 Share Option Scheme, please refer to the paragraph headed "18. CLAWBACK" in the Appendix to this circular. The above clawback mechanism is consistent with the purpose of the 2025 Share Option Scheme as an Eligible Participant falling under any of the events outlined in the paragraph headed "18. CLAWBACK" in Appendix to this circular, in relation to a Grantee, shall not be rewarded under the 2025 Share Option Scheme.

No Director has a material interest and is required to abstain from voting for the resolutions to approve the adoption of the 2025 Share Option Scheme. None of the Shareholders is required to abstain from voting for such resolutions at the EGM pursuant to the Listing Rules and/or the Articles of Association.

Detailed procedures for conducting a poll are set out below and will also be explained at the commencement of the EGM.

The chairman of the EGM will exercise his right under Article 79 of the Articles of Association to demand for poll voting on all the resolutions as set out in the notice of the EGM.

The chairman of the EGM will arrange for all the resolutions to be proposed and seconded first and then conduct the voting by poll on each of the resolutions thereafter.

After completion of the voting slips by the Shareholders, the scrutineer will collect the completed voting slips and then count the votes.

The results of the poll on all the resolutions as set out in the notice of the EGM in both English and Chinese will be published on the website of the Company at www.sinco-pharm.com and the website of HKEXnews at www.hkexnews.hk later on the date of the EGM.

APPENDIX PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE 2025 SHARE OPTION SCHEME

The following is a summary of the principal terms of the 2025 Share Option Scheme proposed to be adopted at the EGM. It does not form part of, nor is it intended to be part of the rules of the 2025 Share Option Scheme. The Directors reserve the right at any time prior to the EGM to make such amendments to the 2025 Share Option Scheme as they may consider necessary or appropriate provided that such amendments do not conflict with any material aspects with the summary in this Appendix.

  1. PURPOSE OF THE SCHEME

The purpose of the 2025 Share Option Scheme is to enable the Group to grant options as defined in the 2025 Share Option Scheme to selected participants as incentives or rewards for their contributions to the Group.

Given that the Board are entitled to determine any performance targets to be achieved and that the exercise price of an option cannot in any event fall below the price stipulated in the Listing Rules or such higher price as may be fixed by the Board, it is expected that Grantees of an Option will make an effort to contribute to the development of our Group so as to bring about an increase of market price of the Shares in order to capitalise on the benefits of the Options granted. For the purpose of the 2025 Share Option Scheme, references to new Shares include treasury shares, and references to the issue of new Shares include the transfer of treasury shares.

The Company may issue new Shares and/or utilise existing treasury shares (if any) to satisfy grants of the Options under the 2025 Share Option Scheme to the extent permitted by the Listing Rules, all applicable laws and regulations and the Articles of Association. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had not decided whether to use treasury shares for the 2025 Share Option Scheme, if applicable.

  1. WHO MAY JOIN AND CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING ELIGIBLE PERSONS

The Board may, in its absolute discretion, grant options to any Eligible Participant comprise: (i) any Employee Participant; and (ii) any Related Entity Participant.

In determining the basis of eligibility of each Eligible Participant, the Board will take into consideration matters including but without limitation the present and future contribution of the relevant Eligible Person, the performance of the relevant Eligible Person as well as the Group's overall business objectives and future development plan.

For the Employee Participants, the Board will generally consider, among others, (i) the individual performance; (ii) time commitment, responsibilities or employment conditions according to the prevailing market practice and industry standard; (iii) the length of engagement with the Group.

For the Related Entity Participants, the Board will generally consider, among others, their participation and contribution to the development of the Group and/or the extent of benefits and synergies brought to the Group.

11. RIGHTS ON A GENERAL OFFER, LIQUIDATION, OR ARRANGEMENT

Any vested Option not exercised on or before the second Business Day prior to the general meeting will automatically lapse.

In the event of compromise or arrangement between the Company and its shareholders or creditors is proposed for the purposes of or in connection with a scheme for the reconstruction of the Company or its amalgamation with any other company or companies, the Company shall give notice thereof to all Option Holders on the same date ("Dispatch Date") as it dispatches the notice which is sent to each Shareholder or creditor of the Company summoning the meeting to consider such a compromise or arrangement, and thereupon all unvested Options will vest and a Grantee (Employee Participant) (or his/her personal representative(s)) may exercise all outstanding vested Options (in whole or in part) forthwith and until the expiry of the period commencing with the Dispatch Date and ending with the earlier of (a) the date two months thereafter and (b) the date on which such compromise or arrangement becoming effective, by sending an exercise notice to the Company and by remitting the total Subscription Price payable in respect of the exercise of the relevant vested Options.

APPENDIX PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE 2025 SHARE OPTION SCHEME

(4) on the date the Option Holder ceases to be an Eligible Participant for reasons specified in clause 10(ii). For one or more reasons under clause 10(ii)(1) that lead to the termination of the employment contract for the Options, the date of termination shall be the date of a relevant resolution of the Board or the board of directors of the relevant subsidiaries or associated companies of the Company; and

(5) on the date the Option Holder violates the provisions of clause 8(ii).

13. EXERCISE OF SHARE OPTION

The Option Holder must submit the following documents to the Company secretary before the expiration of the period of Share Option:

(1) a written notice exercising the Options, which can also be endorsed on the Option certificate. This notice must be signed by the Option Holder and specify the number of Shares to be issued;

(2) the Option certificate that covers the number of Shares to be issued upon exercise;

(3) full payment (equivalent to the number of Shares to be issued upon exercise multiplied by the Subscription Price); and

(4) any other documents specified by the Board at the time the Share Options were granted.

Unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the Option Holder, the Share Options will be issued to the Option Holder within five business days from the date of exercise (i.e., the date the Company receives the required documents and payment).

Unless for the exercise of the entire Share Option, the Options shall be traded in board lots or integral multiples thereof.

Shares issued upon the exercise of an Option shall not carry voting rights until the registration on the Company's register of members of the Option Holder as the holder thereof. If under the terms of a resolution passed or an announcement made by the Company prior to the date of exercise of an Option, a dividend is to be or is proposed to be paid to holders of Shares on the register of members on a date prior to such date of exercise, the Shares to be issued upon such exercise will not be entitled to such dividend. Subject as aforesaid, Shares allotted upon the exercise of an option shall rank equally in all respects with the Shares in issue on the date of such exercise.

14. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SUBSCRIPTION PRICE AND QUANTITY

In the event of an alteration in the capital structure of the Company whilst any Option remains exercisable by way of capitalization of profits or reserves, rights issue, subdivision or consolidation of shares, or reduction of the share capital of the Company in accordance with legal requirements (including, without limitation, the Companies Act) and requirements of the Stock Exchange (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 alterations (if any) shall be made to:

(a) the number or nominal amount of Shares comprised in each Option so far as unexercised; and/or

or any combination thereof, as the auditors of the Company or an independent financial advisor engaged by the Company for such purpose shall, at the request of the Company, certify in writing to the Board, either generally or as regards any particular Grantee, to be in their opinion fair and reasonable, provided always that any such adjustments should give each Grantee the same proportion of the equity capital, rounded to the nearest whole Share, of the Company as that to which that Grantee was previously entitled prior to such adjustments, and no adjustments shall be made which will enable a Share to be issued at less than its nominal value. The capacity of the auditors or the independent financial advisor to the Company in this paragraph 14 is that of experts and not of arbitrators and their certification shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final and binding on the Company and the Grantees. The costs of the auditors or the independent financial advisor to the Company shall be borne by the Company. Notice of such adjustment shall be given to the Grantees by the Company.

To the extent not otherwise determined by the Board, the method of adjustment of the number of Option so far as unexercised is set out as below:

Capitalization issue

$$
Q = Q_0 \times (1 + n)
$$

Where: "Q₀" represents the number of Option before the adjustment; "n" represents the ratio per Share resulting from the capitalization issue; "Q" represents the number of Option after the adjustment.

Rights issue

$$

$$

Where: "Q₀" represents the number of Option before the adjustment; "P₁" represents the closing price of the Shares as at the record date; "P₂" represents the subscription price of the rights issue; "n" represents the ratio of the rights issue allotment; "Q" represents the number of Option after the adjustment.

$$
Q = Q_0 \times n
$$

Where: “Q₀” represents the number of Option before the adjustment; “n” represents the ratio of share consolidation or share subdivision or reduction of share capital; “Q” represents the number of Option after the adjustment.

Consolidation of Shares or share subdivision or reduction of the share capital

$$
P = P_0 \div n
$$

Where: “P₀” represents the Subscription Price before the adjustment; “n” represents the ratio of share consolidation or share subdivision or reduction of share capital; “P” represents the Subscription Price after the adjustment.

In respect of any adjustments required above, other than any made on a capitalization of profits or reserves, the auditors or the independent financial advisor, as the case may be, shall confirm to the Board in writing that the adjustments satisfy the requirements set out in Rule 17.03(13) of the Listing Rules and the note thereto to all issuers relating to share option schemes and/or such other requirement prescribed under the Listing Rules and such other applicable guidance and/or interpretation of the Listing Rules from time to time.

15. ALTERATION, TERMINATION, AND CANCELLATION OF THE 2025 SHARE OPTION SCHEME

(i) Except as provided in clause 15(ii) below, the Board (or the 2025 Share Option Scheme administrators authorized by the Board) may, at its absolute discretion, waive or amend the terms and conditions of the 2025 Share Option Scheme from time to time as deemed appropriate, without the prior approval of the Company's general meeting of Shareholders, provided that such amendments or waivers comply with the requirements of the Listing Rules in effect at the time.

(ii) Any alternations to the 2025 Share Option Scheme in relation to the following areas shall be approved by the Shareholders in general meeting:

(a) any provisions relating to the matters set out in Rule 17.03 of the Listing Rules and the alternation to the terms and conditions will be more favourable to the Eligible Participants. Any change to the terms of Options granted to an Eligible Person, must also, to be effective, be approved by the Board, the remuneration committee of the Company, the independent non-executive Directors and/or the Shareholders in general meeting (as the case may be) if the initial grant of the Options was approved by the Board, the remuneration committee of the Company, the independent non-executive Directors and/or the Shareholders (as the case may be), except where the alterations take effect automatically under the existing terms of the 2025 Share Option Scheme;

(b) any alterations to the terms and conditions of the 2025 Share Option Scheme which are of a material nature, except where the alterations take effect automatically under the existing terms of the 2025 Share Option Scheme;

(c) the amended terms of the 2025 Share Option Scheme must still comply with the relevant requirements of Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules; or

(d) any change to the authority of the Directors or the 2025 Share Option Scheme administrators in relation to any alteration to the terms of the 2025 Share Option Scheme.

(iii) The Board may terminate the 2025 Share Option Scheme at any time and in such event no further Options shall be offered, but Options granted prior to such termination shall continue to be valid and exercisable in accordance with the provisions of the 2025 Share Option Scheme. Upon the termination of the 2025 Share Option Scheme, detailed information regarding the Share Options granted under the scheme must be disclosed in the circular for the first new option scheme that requires shareholder approval following its termination. This disclosure should include exercised and unexercised Options, and any Options that have become invalid or unenforceable, if applicable.

  • 25 -

APPENDIX PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE 2025 SHARE OPTION SCHEME

(iv) Save for any breach of the requirement under paragraphs 4(a), 17 and 18 which shall entitle the Company to cancel the Option(s) granted to the relevant Grantee to the extent not already exercised and subject to Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules, any Options granted but not exercised may not be cancelled except with the prior written consent of the relevant Grantee and the approval of the Directors. When the Company cancels any unvested Option granted to a Grantee or any vested (but not yet exercised) Option and issues new Option(s) to the same grantee, the issue of such new Option(s) may only be made with available Scheme Mandate Limit approved by the Shareholders pursuant to paragraph 6 above. The Options cancelled shall be regarded as utilized for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit and Individual Limit.

(v) In all circumstances, individuals who cease to qualify as Eligible Participants shall not be entitled to any compensation for any reduction or loss of rights or benefits (whether actual or anticipated) associated with the Share Options they hold under the 2025 Share Option Scheme.

16. VESTING SCHEDULE

(1) Save for the circumstances prescribed in paragraph 16(2), a Share Option must be held by the Grantee for at least 12 months from the date of grant before the Share Option can be exercised.

(2) Share Options granted to Employee Participants may be subject to a shorter vesting period as determined by (i) the remuneration committee of the Company if such Employee Participant is a Director or a senior manager of the Company, or (ii) the Board if such Employee Participant is not a Director or a senior manager of the Company, under any of the following circumstances:

(a) grants of "make-whole" share options to new joiners to replace the share options they forfeited when leaving their previous employers;

(b) grants to an Employee Participant whose employment is terminated due to death or disability or occurrence of any out of control events;

(c) grants with performance-based vesting conditions provided in the 2025 Share Option Scheme or as specified in the offer letter in lieu of time-based vesting criteria;

(d) grants that are made in batches during a year for administrative or compliance requirements, for example, Share Options that should have been granted earlier but had to wait for a subsequent batch and the vesting period may be shortened to reflect the time from which the Share Options would have been granted;

(e) grants with a mixed or accelerated vesting schedule such as where the Share Options may vest evenly over a period of 12 months, or where the Share Options may vest by several batches with the first batch to vest within 12 months of the grant date and the last batch to vest 12 months after the grant date; and

  • 26 -

APPENDIX PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE 2025 SHARE OPTION SCHEME

(f) grants with a total vesting and holding period of more than 12 months,

each of which is considered appropriate and serves the purpose of the 2025 Share Option Scheme to provide flexibility to grant Options (1) as part of competitive terms and conditions to induce valuable talent to join the Group; (2) to reward past contribution which may otherwise be neglected due to administrative or technical reasons; (3) to reward exceptional performers with accelerated vesting; (4) to motivate exceptional performers based on performance metrics rather than time; and (5) in exceptional circumstances such as death of the relevant Employee Participants to provide appropriate safeguard of interests of the relevant selected Employee Participants so as to be in line with market standard.

The Board is of the view that the vesting period (including the circumstances in which a shorter vesting period may apply) enables the Company to offer competitive remuneration and reward packages to Employee Participants, on an ad hoc basis, in such circumstances that would be justified and reasonable, which is also consistent with the Listing Rules and the former practice of the Company and peer companies in the Group's industry. Accordingly, the above vesting period is considered appropriate and aligns with the purpose of the 2025 Share Option Scheme.

17. PERFORMANCE TARGETS

The 2025 Share Option Scheme provides that vesting of Share Options shall be subject to performance targets, if any, to be satisfied by the Grantees as determined by the Board from time to time. The performance targets may comprise a mixture of attaining satisfactory key performance indicators components (such as the business performance and financial performance of the Group or departmental and individual performance based on the annual performance assessment results) which may vary among the Grantees. For the avoidance of doubt, the performance targets are not applicable to independent non-executive Directors.

18. CLAWBACK

(1) Upon the occurrence of any of the following events in relation to a Grantee, no further Share Options shall be granted to such Grantee and the Share Options granted to such Grantee shall be clawed back and shall lapse accordingly on the date as determined by the Board (if such Share Options are unvested):

(a) the Grantee has failed to perform duties effectively or is involved in serious misconduct or malfeasance;

(b) the Grantee has contravened the relevant laws and regulations of any applicable jurisdiction or the provisions of the articles of association of any member of the Group, any Related Entity;


APPENDIX PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE 2025 SHARE OPTION SCHEME

(c) the Grantee has, during his/her tenure of office, been involved in acceptance or solicitation of bribery, corruption, theft, leakage of trade and technical secrets, conducted other unlawful acts and misconducts, which prejudiced the interest and reputation of and caused significant negative impact to the image of any member of the Group or any Related Entity;

(d) the Grantee has failed to discharge, or failed to discharge properly, his/her duties and thereby resulting in serious loss in assets to any member of the Group or any Related Entity and other serious and adverse consequences;

(e) the Grantee has violated the Company's high voltage lines (or similar standards); or

(f) the Grantee has failed to comply with any non-compete covenants or restrictive covenants or any terms and conditions of a similar effect.

(2) Where a Share Option granted to any Grantee has been vested but not yet exercised at the time when such Share Option is clawed back, the relevant Share Option shall automatically lapse forthwith and shall no longer be exercisable.

(3) Where a Share Option granted to any Grantee has been vested and already exercised at the time when such Share Option is clawed back, the Grantee shall return to the Company, as determined by the Board at its sole and absolute discretion, either (i) the exact number of the relevant underlying Shares in respect of such Share Option, or (ii) the monetary amount equivalent to the value of the relevant underlying Shares of the Share Option.

19. RIGHTS ON VOTING AND DIVIDENDS

No Grantee shall enjoy any rights of a Shareholder by virtue of the grant of an Option pursuant to the 2025 Share Option Scheme, unless and until the Shares are actually issued to the Grantee pursuant to the exercise of an Option. The Options do not carry any right to vote in general meeting of the Company, or the right to dividend and other rights, including those arising on a liquidation of the Company until such Options have been exercised. A Share issued upon the exercise of an Option shall not carry rights until the registration of the Grantee (or any other person so permitted pursuant to the 2025 Share Option Scheme) as the holder thereof on the register of members of the Company.

The Shares transferred to the Eligible Person upon the vesting of the Options, shall rank pari passu in all aspects with other fully-paid Shares in issue as at the date of transfer, and shall then be entitled to voting right, dividend, right to transfer or other rights attached to other fully-paid Shares, including such rights arising from the liquidation of the Company.
