The Company considers that the adoption of the Scheme and the grant of the Share Appreciation Rights based on the Initial Grant Proposal will not have a significant impact on the operation results of the Company.

The Board is of the opinion that the Scheme can further refine the corporate governance structure and long-term incentive mechanism of the Company, better motivate the management team and core technical talents, effectively achieve the medium and long-term strategic goal of the Company, establish a long-term incentive mechanism closely linked to the operating performance and long-term strategies of the Company, and optimize the overall remuneration structure of the Company.

Therefore, it will not affect the total number of issued H Shares of the Company, neither will have diluted influence on the Company’s shares. Since the Scheme and the Initial Grant Proposal would not involve the grant of options in respect of new shares or other new securities in the Company or any of its subsidiaries, the Scheme and the Initial Grant Proposal are not subject to Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules.
