The Award Shares shall vest between 3 April 2026 and 3 April 2028. The period between the grant date and the first vesting date is more than 12 months.
Performance targets of the Award Shares:
Each vesting of the Award Shares granted to the Award Grantees will be subject to the individual’s annual year-end comprehensive performance evaluation, which shall be based on performance targets and evaluation rules set by the Company in line with business development goals. The vesting percentage of the Award Shares at each vesting date will be adjusted based on the individual’s annual evaluation results.
Clawback mechanism of the Award Shares:
The key clawback terms are as follow:
In the event that an Award Grantee (a) ceases to be an eligible participant by reason of termination for cause or without notice, or the result of being charged/penalised/convicted of an offence involving the Award Grantee’s integrity or honesty; (b) commits a serious misconduct or breach, including with respect to a policy or code of or other agreement with our Group, which is considered to be material; (c) he/she, in the reasonable opinion of the Board, has engaged in serious misconduct or breaches the terms of the 2023 Share Incentive Plan in any material respect or (d) the award is no longer determined to be appropriate and aligned with the purpose of the 2023 Share Incentive Plan, then the Board may make a determination at its absolute discretion that: (A) any awards issued to that Award Grantee but not yet exercised shall immediately lapse, regardless of whether such awards have vested or not, (B) with respect to any Shares delivered or Actual Selling Price paid to that Award Grantee, the Award Grantee shall be required to transfer back to the Company or its nominee (1) the equivalent number of Shares, (2) an amount in cash equal to the market value of such Shares or the Actual Selling Price, or (3) a combination of (1) and (2).
