Grantee None of the Grantees is a Director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of the Company, or an associate (as defined under the Rule 14A.06 of the Listing Rules) of any of them. Performance Target The number of Options granted to the Grantees is based on the positions, job tenure and performance evaluation results of the Grantees. The Group has in place a performance evaluation mechanism for its employees to comprehensively evaluate their performance and contribution to the Group. Based on their performance evaluation results, the Grantees receive different levels of rating which may affect the vesting period and the number of Options to be vested of each individual Grantee. In any event, the earliest vesting date shall not be before 17 November 2025. Clawback Mechanism No clawback mechanism is stipulated in the Grant. The remuneration committee of the Company is of the view that clawback mechanism is not necessary as the scheme rules of the 2022 Share Option Scheme already provided the lapse and cancellation of options in different scenarios and provided enough protection to the Company’s interests.
