LETTER FROM THE BOARD

III. PROPOSED ADOPTION OF THE 2025 H SHARE INCENTIVE SCHEME

Principal Terms of the 2025 H Share Incentive Scheme

In order to (a) provide the Company with a flexible means of remunerating, incentivizing, retaining, rewarding, compensating and/or providing benefits to Eligible Participants; (b) align the interests of Eligible Participants with those of the Company and Shareholders by providing such Eligible Participants with the opportunity to acquire proprietary interests in the Company; and (c) encourage Eligible Participants to contribute to the long-term growth and profits of the Company and to enhance the value of the Company and its H Shares for the benefit of the Company and Shareholders as a whole, the Board proposes the adoption of the 2025 H Share Incentive Scheme and recommends it for the Shareholders' consideration and approval at the EGM.

Implications of the Listing Rules

The Scheme constitutes a share scheme under Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules and shall be subject to the applicable disclosure requirements under Rule 17.12 of the Listing Rules.

Public Float

The Company must at all times ensure that the minimum public float requirement under the Listing Rules is maintained.
