GRANTOF RESTRICTED SHARE UNITS PURSUANT TO THE 2026 SHARE PLAN

Pursuant to Rules 17.06A, 17.06B, and 17.06C of the Listing Rules, the Board hereby announces that on April 10, 2026, the Company granted 7,227,600 Restricted Share Units to 325 Grantees pursuant to the 2026 Share Plan, subject to acceptance by the Grantees. Details of the Restricted Share Units granted are as follows.

Grant<br> Date:	April<br> 10, 2026 (after trading hours during Hong Kong time)
Grantees:	325<br> employees of the Group
Number<br> of Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Restricted Share Units granted:	7,227,600
Purchase<br> price of Restricted Share Units granted:	Nil
Closing<br> price of the Class A Ordinary Shares or ADSs on the Grant Date:	HK$20.00<br> per Class A Ordinary Share, for Class A Ordinary Shares traded on the Stock Exchange on April 10, 2026 (Hong Kong time)
	US$7.59<br> per ADS, for ADSs traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market on April 9, 2026 (New York time), being the trading day on the Nasdaq Stock Market<br> immediately preceding the Grant Date.
Vesting<br> periods of the Restricted Share Units granted:	The<br> Restricted Share Units granted to the Grantees have a mixed vesting schedule with a total vesting period (i.e. the period between<br> the Grant Date and the last vesting date) of 42 to 58 months.

* For identification purposes only

	In respect of<br> the Restricted Share Units granted to certain Grantees, the Restricted Share Units will be vested in several batches. As the grant<br> of Restricted Share Units was delayed due to administrative reasons, the period between the Grant Date and the first vesting date<br> is less than 12 months to reflect the time from which the Restricted Share Units would have been granted, as permitted under the<br> 2026 Share Plan. The Compensation Committee is of the view that such shorter vesting period is appropriate for retaining, incentivizing<br> and rewarding those Grantees, as well as encouraging them to continuously contribute to the operation, development and long-term<br> success and growth of the Group.
Performance<br>target:	There are no performance targets attached to the Restricted<br> Share Units granted to the Grantees. Having considered the long vesting schedule of the Restricted Share Units, the Compensation<br> Committee is of the view that the grant of Restricted Share Units without performance targets is market competitive, consistent with<br> the Company’s remuneration policy, and aligns with the purpose of the 2026 Share Plan.
Clawback<br>mechanism:	Upon the occurrence of certain clawback events which include,<br> among others, the Grantee has been involved in serious misconduct or breach as determined by the Group in good faith, including acts<br> such as dishonesty, theft, fraud, criminal conviction, violation of laws or exchange rules, breach of fiduciary duty or material<br> violation of written Company policies, material breach of agreements, failure to perform material duties after written notice and<br> a reasonable opportunity to cure (if curable), unfair competition, defamatory or harmful statements, inducing contract breaches,<br> or any act materially adverse to the Group’s reputation or interests, the Company shall claw back the Restricted Share Units<br> granted to such Grantee which shall be regarded as lapsed.

The grant of the Restricted Share Units is not subject to Shareholders’ approval.

The purpose of the grant of Restricted Share Units is to (i) recognize the contribution to the success and development of the Group made by the existing employees of the Group; and/or (ii) generally incentivize and motivate employees of the Group to remain with, and to strive for the future development and expansion of, the Group.
