Reference is made to the disclosure in the section headed “Appendix IV — Statutory and General Information — D. Share Incentive Schemes — 1. 2016 Share Incentive Scheme” of the prospectus of Wanka Online Inc. (the “ Company ”) dated 11 December 2018 (the “ Prospectus ”) in relation to the adoption of 2016 Share Incentive Scheme and appointment of trustee, a summary of the principal terms of which was set out in the Prospectus. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalised terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as defined in the Prospectus.
The Board is pleased to announce that on 16 September 2021, the Board (including all independent non-executive Directors), based on the recommendation of the remuneration committee, resolved and approved to grant 5,994,597 RSUs to 5 Grantees pursuant to the 2016 Share Incentive Scheme, subject to acceptance by the Grantees (the “ Grant ”). The 2016 Share Incentive Scheme is not subject to the provisions of Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules as the 2016 Share Incentive Scheme does not involve the grant of options by the Company to subscribe for new Shares. Details of the Grant are as follows:
Number of Grant Shares and Date of Grant
The 5,994,597 RSUs granted to the Grantees on 16 September 2021 (the “ Date of Grant ”) represent 5,994,597 underlying Shares, which amounts to approximately 0.40% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement. No additional new Shares will be issued or allotted for the Grant. The Shares underlying the RSUs are currently issued to and held by the Trustee, an independent third party, in accordance with the 2016 Share Incentive Scheme until the end of each vesting period which may differ among the Grantees and be transferred to the Grantees upon satisfaction of the relevant vesting conditions as specified by the Board at the time of granting.
Any Shares transferred to a Grantee in respect of any RSUs will be subject to all the provisions of the articles of association of the Company and will rank pari passu with the fully paid Shares in issue on the date of the transfer. The Grantees of the RSUs may not exercise voting rights in respect of the Shares underlying the RSUs prior to their vesting, nor do they have any rights to any cash or non-cash income, dividends or distributions and/or the sale proceeds of non-cash and non-scrip distributions from any Shares underlying the RSUs prior to the vesting.
