PROPOSED ADOPTION OF THE 2026 RMB SHARE INCENTIVE SCHEME AND THE SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT

The Company proposes to adopt the 2026 RMB Share Incentive Scheme at a forthcoming AGM. The 2026 RMB Share Incentive Scheme is a share incentive scheme prepared in accordance with the Securities Law, the Administration Measures, the STAR Market Listing Rules, the Guidelines for Self-discipline, and the Hong Kong Listing Rules, as well as the relevant provisions of the Articles of Association.

The 2026 RMB Share Incentive Scheme will provide the Incentive Participants an opportunity to have a personal stake in the Company with the view of achieving the following objectives:

(i) continue to improve the Company's long-term incentive mechanism, attract and retain outstanding personnel;

(ii) continue to fully mobilise the enthusiasm of the Company's employees;

(iii) continue to effectively bring together the interests of Shareholders, the Company and core teams; and

(iv) continue to enable all parties to share a common concern for the long-term development of the Company.


The 2026 RMB Share Incentive Scheme is conditional upon the passing of the necessary ordinary resolution(s) by the Shareholders at the AGM. The proposed ordinary resolutions at the AGM are as follows:

(i) the adoption of the 2026 RMB Share Incentive Scheme and its scheme mandate limit;

(ii) the adoption of the Incentive Scheme Assessment Management Measures;

(iii) the proposed issue and grant of new RMB Shares under the 2026 RMB Share Incentive Scheme pursuant to its scheme mandate limit; and

(iv) the proposed authorization to the Board to handle matters pertaining to the 2026 RMB Share Incentive Scheme.

Among other things, as the RMB Shares will be of the same class as the Hong Kong Shares but will not be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Company has applied for and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has granted a one-off waiver so that there is no need to seek listing of the RMB Shares to be issued under the 2026 RMB Share Incentive Scheme on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange under Rules 8.20 and 13.26(1) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, on the basis that:

(i) Rule 6.11 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules is modified such that the requirement of obtaining prior approval of shareholders for voluntary withdrawal of listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the notice period given to the shareholders on the proposed withdrawal of the listing shall apply to the holders of Hong Kong Shares only;

(ii) Rule 6.12 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules is modified such that the requirement of obtaining the prior approval of shareholders for voluntary withdrawal of listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange by (a) at least 75% of the votes attaching to any class of listed securities held by holders voting either in person or by proxy at the meeting before voluntarily withdrawing its listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange; and (b) the number of votes cast against the resolution is not more than 10% of the votes attaching to any class of listed securities held by holders permitted under Rule 6.12(1) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules to vote in person or by proxy at the meeting, shall apply to holders of Hong Kong Shares only;

(iii) Rule 6.15 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules is modified such that the requirement of fulfilling shareholders' approval requirements under the Takeovers Code for voluntary withdrawal of listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange shall apply to holders of Hong Kong Shares only; and


(iv) Rule 13.36(2)(b) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules is modified such that the shareholders of the Company (including both holders of Hong Kong Shares and holders of RMB Shares) can by ordinary resolution in a general meeting give a repurchase mandate to the Directors under which the maximum number of Hong Kong Shares and RMB Shares in total repurchased by the Company since the granting of the general mandate will be 10% of the number of the issued Hong Kong Shares and RMB Shares, respectively, as at the date of the resolution granting the repurchase mandate.

The principal terms of the 2026 RMB Share Incentive Scheme will be set out in the AGM circular to be despatched (if required), together with the notice of the AGM and the proxy form, to Shareholders and published on the websites of Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Company in due course.
