The Grants are subject to the terms and conditions of the Post-IPO Share Scheme and the award agreements entered into between the Company and each of the Grantees. The principal terms of the Post-IPO Share Scheme were set out in the section headed “Statutory and General Information – D. Share Incentive Plans – 2. Post-IPO Share Scheme” in Appendix IV to the listing document of the Company dated December 16, 2022.
The Share Awards will be satisfied through utilizing the Class A Ordinary Shares held by the depositary of the ADSs for bulk issuance of ADSs reserved for future issuances upon the exercise or vesting of awards granted under the Post-IPO Share Scheme.
Details of the Grants are as follows:
| Date of the Grants | September 16, 2025 | |

Vesting Periods of the Share Awards
For the Grants, subject to the Grantee’s continued employment relationship with the Company on such vesting dates, (i) approximately 1.44% of the Share Awards under the Grants shall vest as follows: 50% shall vest on the second anniversary of the date of the Grants; 25% shall vest on the third anniversary of the date of the Grants; and 25% shall vest on the fourth anniversary of the date of the Grants; (ii) approximately 94.08% of the Share Awards under the Grants shall vest in equal portions on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversary of the date of the Grants, respectively; (iii) approximately 1.75% of the Share Awards under the Grants shall vest subject to the fulfillment of the relevant performance target; and (iv) approximately 2.73% of the Share Awards under the Grants shall vest in equal portions on the date of the Grants and the first anniversary of the date of the Grants, respectively. The vesting periods of the Share Awards aforementioned in (iii) and (iv) may be or are shorter than 12 months because the Share Awards are subject to the fulfilment of performance targets as determined in the conditions of his/her grant or have a mixed vesting schedule, such that the relevant Share Awards vest evenly over a period of one year, both of which are pursuant to the terms of the Post-IPO Share Scheme and Rule 17.03F of the Listing Rules.
Performance Target
A portion of the Share Awards representing approximately 92.32% of the Share Awards under the Grants shall be vested subject to a performance target whereby the number of Share Awards to be vested shall be directly linked to the result of the Grantee’s performance evaluation in the relevant period as assessed by the Group. In addition, a portion of the Share Awards representing approximately 1.75% of the Share Awards under the Grants shall be vested subject to a performance target relating to business development. The vesting of the remaining portion of the Share Awards under the Grants is not subject to any performance target.
Clawback Mechanism
The Share Awards are subject to clawback in the event that:
| · | the Grantee ceases to be a selected participant by reason of the termination of employment or contractual engagement with the Group or Related Entity for cause or without notice or with payment in lieu of notice; |
| · | the Grantee has been convicted of a criminal offence involving his/her integrity or honesty; or |
| · | in the reasonable opinion of the scheme administrator, the Grantee has engaged in serious misconduct or breaches the terms of the Post-IPO Share Scheme in any material respect. |
Listing Rules Implications
The Grantees are employees of the Group and do not fall under any of the following categories: (a) a Director, chief executive, or substantial Shareholder of the Company, or an associate of any of them; (b) a participant with share options and awards granted and to be granted in the 12-month period up to and including the date of such grant in aggregate to exceed 1% individual limit for the purpose of Rule 17.03D of the Listing Rules; or (c) a related entity participant or service provider with options and awards granted and to be granted in any 12-month period exceeding 0.1% of the relevant class of Shares in issue (excluding treasury shares).
Reasons for and benefits of the Grants
The reasons for the grants of Share Awards are to reward continued efforts for the success of the Company and provide incentives for the Grantees to exert maximum efforts, and to provide a means by which more employees may be given an opportunity to benefit from increases in value of the Shares through the granting of the Share Awards. Such Grants will encourage them to work towards enhancing the value of the Company and the Shares for the benefits of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
