为了更进一步健全完善公司长效激励与约束机制,不断吸引和留住优秀人才,充分调动核心团队的积极性、创造性,增强归属感、获得感和责任心,有效地将股东利益、公司利益和核心团队个人利益紧密结合在一起,使各方共同关注公司的长远可持续发展,确保公司远期发展战略和经营目标的实现,在充分保障股东利益的前提下,公司按照激励与约束对等的原则,根据《公司法》《证券法》《管理办法》《上市规则》《自律监管指南》等有关法律、法规和规范性文件以及《公司章程》的规定,制定本激励计划。

二、其他股权激励计划及长期激励机制的简要情况

截至本激励计划草案公告日,公司同时正在实施2022年限制性股票激励计划、2023年限制性股票激励计划。

(一)2022年限制性股票激励计划的简要情况

公司于2022年5月30日召开了第二届董事会第十七次会议和第二届监事会第八次会议,审议通过了《关于公司<2022年限制性股票激励计划(草案)>及其摘要的议案》等议案,并于2022年6月17日通过2022年第一次临时股东大会审议。截至本激励计划公告日,2022年限制性股票激励计划实际首次授予激励对象277.0728万股第二类限制性股票,预留授予激励对象22.9272万股第二类限制性股票。由于公司2022年年度权益分派的实施,公司首次授予部分对应的第二类限制性股票数量调整为387.9019万股、预留授予部分对应的第二类限制性股票数量调整为32.0981万股,其中首次授予部分第一个归属期95.9254万股已归属上市,预留授予部分第一个归属期7.9579万股已归属上市,首次授予及预留授予第二个归属期及第三个归属期的股票因未达到业绩考核目标条件已作废失效,第四个归属期首次授予部分业绩考核目标已完成,首次授予部分7.7443万股已作废,剩余88.1814万股待归属。

(二)2023年限制性股票激励计划的简要情况

公司于2023年8月31日召开了第三届董事会第三次会议和第三届监事会第三次会议,审议通过了《关于公司<2023年限制性股票激励计划(草案)>及其摘要的议案》等议案,并于2023年9月18日通过2023年第二次临时股东大会审议。

会审议。截至本激励计划公告日,2023年限制性股票激励计划实际授予激励对象380.00万股第二类限制性股票,第一个归属期146.8688万股已归属上市,第二个归属期的股票因未达到业绩考核目标条件已作废失效,还剩余第三个归属期限制性股票尚未归属。

本次激励计划与正在实施的2022年限制性股票激励计划、2023年限制性股票激励计划相互独立,不存在相关联系。

三、董事会薪酬与考核委员会是本激励计划的监督机构,应当就本激励计划是否有利于公司的持续发展,是否存在明显损害公司及全体股东利益的情形发表意见。董事会薪酬与考核委员会对本激励计划的实施是否符合相关法律、法规、规范性文件和证券交易所业务规则进行监督,董事会薪酬与考核委员会负责审核激励对象的名单。

公司在股东会审议通过股权激励方案之前对其进行变更的,董事会薪酬与考核委员会应当就变更后的方案是否有利于公司的持续发展,是否存在明显损害公司及全体股东利益的情形发表意见。

(三)激励对象满足各归属期任职期限要求

(四)满足公司层面业绩考核要求

本激励计划限制性股票的考核年度为2026-2028年三个会计年度,每个会计年度考核一次,根据公司业绩考核指标的完成情况核算各年度公司层面归属比例。各年度公司层面业绩考核目标如下表所示:

单位:亿元

归属安排 对应考核年度 各年度营业收入目标值(Am) 各年度营业收入触发值(An)
第一个归属期 2026 年度 45.00 40.50
第二个归属期 2027 年度 55.00 49.50
第三个归属期 2028 年度 68.00 61.20

考核指标 考核指标完成情况 指标对应系数
对应考核年度实际达成的营业收入(A) A≥Am X=100%
An≤A
A

注:1、上述“营业收入”口径以会计师事务所经审计的合并报表为准。
2、上述业绩考核目标不构成公司对投资者的业绩预测和实质承诺。

若公司未达到上述业绩考核目标,则所有激励对象对应考核当年计划归属的限制性股票全部取消归属,并作废失效。

(五)满足激励对象个人层面绩效考核要求

激励对象的绩效考核结果划分为A、B、C三个档次,届时根据以下考核评级表中对应的个人层面归属比例确定激励对象的实际归属的股份数量:

绩效结果 A B C
个人层面归属比例(Y) 100% 100% 0

若公司层面业绩考核当年度达到业绩考核目标,激励对象当年实际可归属限制性股票数量=个人当年计划归属额度×公司层面归属比例(X)×个人层面归属比例(Y)。

所有激励对象当期计划归属的限制性股票因考核原因不能归属或不能完全归属的,作废失效,不可递延至以后年度。

若公司/公司股票因经济形势、市场行情等因素发生变化,继续执行激励计划难以达到激励目的,经公司董事会及/或股东会审议确认,可决定对本激励计划的尚未归属的某一批次/多个批次的限制性股票取消归属或终止本激励计划。

三、考核指标的科学性和合理性说明

本次限制性股票激励计划考核指标分为两个层面,分别为公司层面业绩考核和个人层面绩效考核。

公司层面业绩考核指标为营业收入。营业收入是衡量企业经营状况和市场占有能力、预测企业经营业务拓展趋势的重要标志,也是反映企业成长性的有效指标。公司所设定的业绩考核目标充分考虑了公司过往、目前经营状况以及未来发展规划等综合因素,指标设定合理、科学,有助于调动员工的积极性,确保公司未来发展战略和经营目标的实现,为股东带来更高效、更持久的回报。

18


除了公司总体层面的业绩考核外,公司对所有激励对象个人设置了严密、定岗定责的个人层面绩效考核体系,能够对激励对象的工作绩效作出较为准确、全面的综合评价,以确保每一个激励对象个体能力的最大化体现,并获得与自身劳动付出对应的股权激励回报。公司将根据激励对象前一年度绩效考核结果,确定激励对象个人是否达到归属条件。

综上,公司本次激励计划的考核体系具有全面性、综合性及可操作性,考核指标设定具有良好的科学性和合理性,同时对激励对象具有约束效果,能够达到本次激励计划的考核目的。

19

第十章 限制性股票激励计划的调整方法和程序

一、限制性股票授予数量及归属数量的调整方法

本激励计划草案公告当日至激励对象完成限制性股票归属登记前,公司有资本公积转增股本、派送股票红利、股份拆细、配股、缩股等事项,应对限制性股票授予/归属数量进行相应的调整。调整方法如下:

$$
Q = Q_0 \times (1 + n)
$$

其中:$Q_0$ 为调整前的限制性股票授予/归属数量;$n$ 为每股的资本公积转增股本、派送股票红利、股份拆细的比率(即每股股票经转增、送股或拆细后增加的股票数量);$Q$ 为调整后的限制性股票授予/归属数量。

(二)配股

$$
Q = Q_0 \times P_1 \times (1 + n) \div (P_1 + P_2 \times n)
$$

其中:$Q_0$ 为调整前的限制性股票授予/归属数量;$P_1$ 为股权登记日当日收盘价;$P_2$ 为配股价格;$n$ 为配股的比例(即配股的股数与配股前公司总股本的比例);$Q$ 为调整后的限制性股票授予/归属数量。

(四)增发

公司在发生增发新股的情况下,限制性股票授予/归属数量不做调整。

二、限制性股票授予价格的调整方法

本激励计划草案公告当日至激励对象完成限制性股票归属登记前,公司有资本公积转增股本、派送股票红利、股份拆细、配股、缩股或派息等事项,应对限制性股票的授予价格进行相应的调整。调整方法如下:

(一)资本公积转增股本、派送股票红利、股份拆细

$$

其中:$P_0$ 为调整前的授予价格;$n$ 为每股的资本公积转增股本、派送股票红利、股份拆细的比率;$P$ 为调整后的授予价格。

23


(二)配股

$$
\mathrm {P} = \mathrm {P} _ {0} \times \left(\mathrm {P} _ {1} + \mathrm {P} _ {2} \times \mathrm {n}\right) \div \left[ \mathrm {P} _ {1} \times (1 + \mathrm {n}) \right]
$$

其中:$\mathrm{P_0}$ 为调整前的授予价格;$\mathrm{P_1}$ 为股权登记日当日收盘价;$\mathrm{P_2}$ 为配股价格;$\mathrm{n}$ 为配股的比例;$\mathrm{P}$ 为调整后的授予价格。

第十一章 限制性股票的会计处理

按照《企业会计准则第11号——股份支付》和《企业会计准则第22号——金融工具确认和计量》的规定,公司将在授予日至归属日期间的每个资产负债表日,根据最新取得的可归属的人数变动、业绩指标完成情况等后续信息,修正预计可归属限制性股票的数量,并按照限制性股票授予日的公允价值,将当期取得的服务计入相关成本或费用和资本公积。

一、限制性股票的公允价值及确定方法

参照中华人民共和国财政部会计司《股份支付准则应用案例-授予限制性股票》,第二类限制性股票股份支付费用的计量参照股票期权执行。根据《企业会计准则第11号——股份支付》和《企业会计准则第22号——金融工具确认和计量》的相关规定,公司选择Black-Scholes模型计算第二类限制性股票的公允价值。公司于2026年6月22日对授予的46.4953万股限制性股票的公允价值进行预测算(授予时进行正式测算)。具体参数如下:

1、标的股价:291.68元/股(2026年6月22日的收盘价);
2、有效期:12个月、24个月、36个月(授予之日至每期归属日的期限);
3、历史波动率:12.9308%、16.9300%、15.8508%(取上证指数最近12个月、24个月、36个月的波动率);
4、无风险利率:1.50%、2.10%、2.75%(分别采用中国人民银行制定的金融机构1年期、2年期、3年期存款基准利率);
5、股息率:0%。

二、预计限制性股票实施对各期经营业绩的影响

公司按照会计准则的规定确定授予日限制性股票的公允价值,并最终确认本激励计划的股份支付费用,该等费用将在本激励计划实施过程中按归属安排的比例摊销。由本激励计划产生的激励成本将在经常性损益中列支。

假设限制性股票的授予日为2026年7月中旬,根据中国会计准则要求,本激励计划的限制性股票对各期会计成本的影响如下表所示:

限制性股票数量(万股) 预计摊销的总费用(万元) 2026年(万元) 2027年(万元) 2028年(万元) 2029年(万元)
1 16.9308 16.9300 16.9300 16.9300 16.9300
2 15.8508 15.8500 15.8500 15.8500 15.8500
3 14.7500 14.7500 14.7500 14.7500 14.7500

注:1、本期授予的股票数量应包括预计摊销的总费用、预计摊销的总费用及预计摊销的股票数量。


46.4953 7,350.02 2,050.94 3,359.78 1,487.99 451.32

注:①上述计算结果并不代表最终的会计成本,实际会计成本与授予日、授予价格和归属数量相关,激励对象在归属前离职、公司业绩考核、个人绩效考核达不到对应标准的会相应减少实际归属数量从而减少股份支付费用。同时,公司提醒股东注意可能产生的摊薄影响。
②上述对公司经营成果影响的最终结果将以会计师事务所出具的年度审计报告为准。
③上述合计数与各明细数直接相加之和在尾数上如有差异,是由四舍五入所造成。

公司以目前信息初步估计,限制性股票费用的摊销对有效期内各年净利润有所影响。但同时此次限制性股票激励计划实施后,将进一步提升员工的凝聚力、团队稳定性,并有效激发核心团队的积极性和创造性,从而提高经营效率,给公司带来更高的经营业绩和内在价值。

(b) any person providing services to the Group on a continuing or recurring basis in its ordinary and usual course of business which are in the interests of the long-term growth of the Group, as determined by the Scheme Administrator pursuant to the criteria set out in the Scheme Rules (the "Service Provider Participants").

Service Provider Participants eligible to participate in the Scheme include any service provider who is engaged by the Group and who continuously and regularly provides services in the ordinary course of business of the Group that are conducive to the long-term growth of the Group. The Group is an analog chip provider in China and offers to its customers, primarily consisted of distributors and direct sales customers, a comprehensive portfolio of high-performance and reliable products and solutions for application sectors such as (i) automotive electronics, (ii) energy and industrial automation and (iii) consumer electronics. There are three core product categories – sensor products, signal chain chips and power management chips – form a complete chain that covers (i) sensing, (ii) signal processing and (iii) system power supply and power drive. The Group from time to time engages the following categories of Service Providers whose services provided are closely linked to and support’s the Group’s core business operations including analog chip research and development and production and application business (designing, developing and selling related products, including sensor products, signal chain chip and power management chip products as well as other related technologies and products), and who falls within any of the following categories:

(1) Technology Research and Development Service Providers

Such service providers, as an extension of the Group’s core technological capabilities, provide specialized and multi-scenario customized technology development and research and development support for analog chips. Their scope of services includes but is not limited to: (i) participating in application scenario implementation and development services for the Group’s core products, namely sensor products, signal chain chips and power management chips, in the fields of automotive electronics, pan-energy and consumer electronics, enriching the product matrix and technology accumulation to assist the Company in swiftly entering emerging sectors and enhancing the product matrix; (ii) supporting product iteration, system maintenance, performance optimization and compliance-related technology enhancement, primarily including specialty wafer fabrication process providers, so as to strengthen the Company’s underlying technological capabilities; (iii) assisting with intellectual property strategies, technical documentation preparation and standardization of research and development processes; and (iv) collaborating closely with the Group’s internal engineering teams under agile development frameworks to ensure timely delivery and high-quality output.

  • 7 -

The services provided by such service providers are highly specialized, continuous and strategically critical, and their deliverables directly impact the competitiveness of the Group’s product portfolio, underlying technology extensibility and innovation capabilities. Given the highly technical nature of the analog chip industry, the pool of qualified technology research and development service providers with the requisite depth of expertise is limited, the grant of Awards to such service providers helps to facilitate a long-term collaboration to drive technological breakthroughs that benefit the Group’s development in the long run.

(2) Sales and Market Expansion Service Providers

Such service providers primarily undertake end-market expansion and customer acquisition responsibilities on behalf of the Company. Depending on their respective capabilities, each such service provider provide all or some of the following services to the Group: (i) formulating and executing go-to-market strategies for specific application scenarios, such as the humanoid robotics sector; (ii) identifying application requirements of potential end customers and collaborating with the Company to co-design products; (iii) maintaining key customer relationships and assisting in sales negotiations and contract execution; (iv) gathering market intelligence, competitive insights and customer feedback to support the Group in optimizing product positioning and marketing strategies; (v) assisting and supporting the timely delivery of the Group’s products and services, thereby facilitating revenue realization; (vi) enhancing the Group’s brand promotion and market influence, particularly in countries and regions outside Mainland China; and (vii) providing after-sales services to customers (including communicating customers’ feedback on the Group’s products to the Group, coordinating product returns or exchanges, providing technical trainings on the use of the Group’s products, and acting as a channel between customers and the Group to address concerns or complaints).

In view of the direct contribution of such service providers to revenue growth and market share expansion, and the high correlation between the performance of such service providers and the long-term business outcomes of the Group, the grant of Awards to them helps to align their interests with those of the Company and encourages them to drive value enhancement from a shareholder perspective. The services provided by such market expansion service providers are (i) provided exclusively to the Group; (ii) material and relevant to the operations of the Group; and (iii) provided on a regular or recurring basis, with the continuity and frequency of their services being comparable to those of employees.

4.2 No person who is:

(a) resident in a place where the grant, acceptance or vesting of an Award pursuant to the Scheme is not permitted under, or contrary to, the laws and regulations of such place; or


(b) where, in the view of the Scheme Administrator, compliance with Applicable Laws and regulations in such place makes it necessary or expedient to exclude such person,

shall be entitled to participate in the Scheme and such person shall therefore not be an Eligible Participant for the purposes of this Scheme.

4.3 The eligibility of any of the Eligible Participants for a grant of Awards shall be determined by the Board or the Scheme Administrator from time to time on the basis of the Board's or the Scheme Administrator's opinion as to the Eligible Participant's contribution to the development and growth of the Group. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: in assessing the eligibility of Employee Participants, the Board or the Scheme Administrator will consider, among other things, educational background, professional experience, qualifications, skills, knowledge, the length of service, job position, job duties, contribution to the Group and performance evaluation results of the Employee Participant.

4.4 Where a service provider qualifies for one of the above service provider types and meets the initial eligibility criteria to fall within the above categories, the below will be considered:

(a) whether a potential service provider participant will be eligible to qualify as a Service Provider Participant will be determined by the Board or the Scheme Administrator based on qualitative and quantitative performance indicators on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the eligibility criteria set out below, including (i) the materiality and nature of the business relationship between the Service Provider Participant and the Group (such as whether the services provided relate to the core functions of the Group and the Company's focus areas and whether such business dealings could be readily replaced by third parties); (ii) the track record in the quality of services provided to and/or cooperation with the Group; and (iii) the scale of business dealing with the Group with regard to factors such as the actual or expected change in the Group's revenue or profits which is or may be attributable to the Service Provider Participant.

(b) in assessing whether a Service Provider Participant provides services to the Group on a continuing basis, the Scheme Administrator will take into account factors such as: (i) length and type of services provided or will be provided to the Group, as well as the recurrence and regularity of such services; (ii) the Group's objectives in engaging the Service Provider Participant and how granting Awards to the Service Provider Participant would align with the purpose of the Scheme or benefit the Group; and (iii) remuneration packages of comparable listed peers with respect to similar Service Provider Participants, if any, based on available industry information.

provided that: (i) placing agents or financial advisors providing advisory services for fundraising, mergers or acquisitions; or (ii) professional service providers such as auditors or valuers who provide assurance, or are required to perform their services with impartiality and objectivity, shall not be Service Provider Participants for the purposes of this Scheme.

The relevant Vesting Date of any Award shall be set out in the Award Letter.

11.2 The Vesting Date in respect of any Award funded by new Shares shall be not less than twelve (12) months from the Grant Date, provided that for Employee Participants, the Vesting Date may be less than twelve (12) months from the Grant Date (including on the Grant Date) in the following specific circumstances:

(a) grants of “make-whole” Awards to new Employee Participants to replace awards that they forfeited when leaving the previous employers;

(b) grants to an Employee Participant whose employment is terminated due to death or disability or occurrence of any out of control event. In those circumstances, the vesting of the Awards may accelerate;

(c) grants of Awards with performance-based vesting conditions provided in the Scheme Rules, in lieu of time-based vesting criteria;

(d) grants that are made in batches during a year for administrative and compliance reasons. They may include Awards that should have been granted earlier but had to wait for a subsequent batch. In such cases, the vesting periods may be shorter to reflect the time from which an Award would have been granted;

(e) grants of Awards with a mixed or accelerated vesting schedule such that the Awards may vest evenly over a period of twelve (12) months; or

(f) grants of Awards with a total vesting and holding period of more than twelve (12) months.

11.3 If a Vesting Date is not a Business Day, such Vesting Date shall, subject to any trading halt or suspension of dealings in the H Shares on the Stock Exchange, be deemed to be the next Business Day immediately thereafter.

12. PERFORMANCE TARGETS

12.1 The Scheme Administrator may, in respect of each Award and subject to all Applicable Laws, rules and regulations, determine such performance targets, criteria or conditions for vesting of Awards in its sole and absolute discretion. Any such performance targets, criteria or conditions shall be set out in the Award Letter. For the avoidance of doubt, an Award shall not be subject to any performance targets, criteria or conditions if none are set out in the relevant Award Letter.

12.2 The Scheme Administrator shall specify in the Award Letter the person(s) of the Company that will assess how and whether such targets, criteria or conditions are satisfied.

12.3 Performance targets, criteria or conditions are to be specified in the relevant Award Letter. Performance targets may combine qualitative and quantitative requirements and include an annual assessment of an Eligible Participant (e.g., skills, expertise, key performance indicators of his or her division, contribution to the Company) and/or performance of the Company (e.g., achieved financial indicators, business and market capitalization milestones). From time to time, the Scheme Administrator will conduct an assessment to compare performance to pre-established targets in order to determine whether and to what extent such targets have been achieved. Such assessment may be conducted by reference to the Group’s audited or management accounts, operational reports, project progress reports, individual performance appraisal records or other objective supporting materials considered relevant by the Scheme Administrator. After the assessment, if the Scheme Administrator determines that any of the specified performance targets have not been achieved, the unvested Award Shares for the relevant vesting period will automatically lapse.

13. VESTING PERIOD

13.1 Subject to Rule 11, the vesting period for any award of Awards shall be such period determined by the Scheme Administrator in their absolute discretion and notified to the Eligible Participant in the Award Letter. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to Rule 11, the Scheme Administrator may determine the vesting period of an Award to be not applicable and determine that the Award Shares shall fall to be settled upon the Vesting Date without further action by the Grantee.

14. SETTLEMENT OF AWARDS

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Scheme and the fulfillment of all vesting conditions applicable to the vesting of the Awards on such Grantee, the respective H Shares held by the Trustee on behalf of the Grantee pursuant to the provision hereof shall vest in such Grantee in accordance with the applicable vesting schedule, and the Trustee shall cause the H Shares to be transferred to such Grantee and/or an entity controlled by him/her (or the Grantee’s personal representative(s)) for the benefit of the Grantee and any family members of such Grantee in accordance with Rule 14.3 in this Scheme. The Scheme Administrator may require any Grantee to return duly executed transfer documents or other documents for the purpose of vesting and transfer of the relevant H Shares within a stipulated period. The Award shall automatically lapse if a Grantee fails to do so, unless the Scheme Administrator determines otherwise at their absolute discretion.

Settlement of an Award

14.1 Subject to Rule 14.2, within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of the notice and the remittance (if any), the Company shall arrange for upon the vesting of Awards to be satisfied in the following methods, or any combination of the following methods, as determined by the Scheme Administrator in their sole discretion:

(a) allot, and instruct the Share registrar to issue, the H Shares underlying the vested Awards to the Grantee (or the Grantee’s personal representative(s)) credited as fully paid and issue to the Grantee (or the Grantee’s personal representative(s)) a share certificate in respect of the H Shares underlying the vested Awards so allotted and issued;

(b) arrange for the H Shares underlying the vested Awards to be transferred to the Grantee (or the Grantee’s personal representative(s)) credited as fully paid and issue to the Grantee (or the Grantee’s estate in the event of an allotment by the Grantee’s personal representative(s)) a share certificate in respect of the H Shares so transferred;

(c) make a cash payment to the Grantee subject to the circumstances that it is not practicable for the Grantee to receive H Shares upon vesting the Awards due to legal or regulatory restrictions. The amount of such payment shall be calculated by reference to the number of H Shares to be vested in respect of the Grantee on or after the Vesting Date and valuing the same at the closing price of the H Shares as stated in the daily quotations sheet published by the Stock Exchange on the Vesting Date and deducting therefrom any stamp duty, Taxes, trading fee and other, if any, direct costs and expenses which would have been payable if the H Shares were sold on-market on the Vesting Date at the said closing price; or


(d) for the purpose of the transferring, selling or making a cash payment of Award Shares in a Grantee upon the vesting of the Award Shares, subject to the receipt by the Trustee of (a) a copy of the relevant vesting letter (if any), a written notice form determined by the Scheme Administrator and a written notice from the Scheme Administrator instructing the Trustee to transfer the Award Shares to the Grantee (or the Grantee’s personal representative(s)), (b) the original transfer documents (if any) prescribed by the Trustee and duly signed by the Grantee (or the Grantee’s personal representative(s)); (c) client due diligence documents of the Grantee (or the Grantee’s personal representative(s)) required in accordance with the Trustee’s client due diligence policy; and (d) such other documents as the Scheme Administrator may require for the purpose of this Rule 14.1(d) at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Vesting Date, the Trustee shall transfer the relevant Award Shares to the relevant Grantee (or the Grantee’s personal representative(s)) as instructed by the Scheme Administrator as soon as practicable on or after the Vesting Date and in any event not later than ten (10) Business Days after the Vesting Date. In the event that the Trustee does not receive the requisite documents in accordance with (a), (b) and (c) herein prior to or on the relevant Vesting Date, the relevant Award Shares shall lapse and shall not vest on the relevant Vesting Date and the Grantee shall have no claims against the Trust or the Trustee or with respect to those or any other Shares or any right thereto or interest therein in any way. The Company shall refund to the Grantee the Purchase Price paid (if any) in correspondence to such lapsed Award Shares paid by the Grantee pursuant to this Scheme and the terms and conditions of the Award Letter.

14.2 Where the Scheme Administrator in their sole discretion determines that it is not practicable for the Grantee to receive Award Shares or for the Company (whether or not through a trustee or other third party) to settle the Award due to applicable legal or regulatory restrictions (including under the Listing Rules), the settlement of the Award shall be postponed and shall take place within twenty (20) Business Days from the date that the Scheme Administrator subsequently determines it will be practicable to proceed with the settlement of the Award.

14.3 The Award Shares shall be identical to all issued H Shares and (in respect of New Shares) shall be allotted and issued subject to all the provisions of the Articles of Association for the time being in force and will rank pari passu with the other fully paid H Shares in issue on the date the name of the Grantee (or the Grantee’s personal representative(s)) is registered on the register of members of the Company or, if that date falls on a day when the register of members of the Company is closed, the first day of the re-opening of the register of members, save that the Grantee shall not have any voting rights, or rights to participate in any dividends or distributions (including those arising on a liquidation of the Company) declared or recommended or resolved to be paid to the Shareholders on the register on a date prior to such registration.

Costs

14.4 Any direct costs and expenses arising on the vesting and issue of the Award Shares to or for the benefit of a Grantee as contemplated by Rule 14.1 shall be borne by the Company.

14.5 Any stamp duty, Taxes, trading fee and other, if any, or other direct costs and expenses arising on the sale of the Award Shares and cash payment as contemplated by Rule 14.1(c) shall be borne by the Grantee and deducted by the Scheme Administrator from the amount payable to the Grantee pursuant to Rule 14.1(c).

15. RESTRICTIONS ON AWARDS

Voting and Dividend Rights

15.1 Awards do not carry any right to vote at general meetings of the Company, nor any right to dividends, transfer or other rights. No Grantee shall have any right to any cash or non-cash income, dividends or distributions and/or the sale proceeds of non-cash and non-scrip distributions from any H Shares underlying the Awards. No Grantee shall enjoy any of the rights of a Shareholder by virtue of the grant of an Award unless and until the H Shares underlying an Award are delivered to the Grantee pursuant to the vesting and allotment of such Award.

Transferability of Awards

15.2 Awards shall be personal to the Grantee to whom they are made and shall not be assignable or transferable, except in circumstances where the written consent of the Company has been obtained and a waiver has been granted by the Stock Exchange for such transfer in compliance with the requirements of the Listing Rules and provided that any such transferee shall be bound by the Rules of this Scheme and all applicable Award Letters as if the transferee were the Grantee.

15.3 Any breach of Rule 15.2 shall cause the applicable outstanding Award to lapse. For this purpose, a determination by the Board to the effect that a breach of Rule 15.2 has occurred shall be final and conclusive.

Other Restrictions on Awards or Award Shares

15.4 The Scheme Administrator may, in their sole discretion, grant any Award with additional restrictions attached to the Award or Award Shares as further set out in the Award Letter, including contractually restricting the voting or transferability of the Award Shares after vesting of the Award.


  1. TAXATION

16.1 All taxes (including personal income taxes, professional taxes, salary taxes and similar taxes, as applicable), duties, social security contributions, impositions, charges and other levies arising out of or in connection with the Grantee’s participation in the Scheme or in relation to the H Shares, Award Shares or cash payment (the “Taxes”) received by a Grantee shall be borne by such Grantee and neither the Company nor any designated third party shall be liable for any Taxes. Each Grantee by its acceptance of any grant of Awards agrees to and will indemnify each member of the Group, the Trustee(s) and any designated third party against any liability they may have to pay or account for such Taxes, including any withholding liability in connection with any Taxes. To give effect to this, the Company (or designated third party) may, notwithstanding anything else in these Scheme Rules (but subject to the Applicable Laws):

(a) reduce or withhold such number of the H Shares delivered upon vesting of any Awards or the cash payment to be paid to the Grantee as may be necessary to settle any Taxes (the number of H Shares that may be reduced or withheld shall be limited to the number of H Shares that have a fair market value on the date of withholding that, in the reasonable opinion of the Scheme Administrator (or the Trustee or designated third party) is sufficient to cover any such liability);

(b) sell, on the Grantee’s behalf, such number of H Shares to which the Grantee becomes entitled and retain the proceeds and/or pay them to the relevant authorities or government agency;

(c) deduct or withhold, without notice to the Grantee, the amount of any such liability from any payment to the Grantee made under the Scheme or from any payments due from a member of the Group to the Grantee, including from the salary payable to the Grantee by any member of the Group; and/or

(d) require the Grantee to remit to any member of the Group, in the form of cash or a certified or bank cashier’s check, an amount sufficient to satisfy any Taxes or other amounts required by any governmental authority to be withheld and paid over to such authority by any member of the Group on account of the Grantee or to otherwise make alternative arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the payment of such amounts.

The Company shall not be obliged to issue any H Shares or pay any cash payment to a Grantee unless and until the Grantee satisfies the Company (in the opinion of the Scheme Administrator) that such Grantee’s obligations for Taxes under this Rule have been met.

  • 26 -

17. CANCELLATION OF AWARDS

17.1 Any Awards granted but not vested may be cancelled by the Scheme Administrator at any time with the prior consent of the Grantee for the Awards that have already been granted under the Scheme, where as the expected Vesting Date approaches, the Company discovers that the closing price of the H Shares is below that of the Purchase Price, such that it is reasonably foreseeable that such Awards will not serve any incentivizing effect, the Company may decide to cancel such Awards.

17.2 The Scheme Administrator may in their sole discretion determine to buyout an Award from a Grantee at a price, and on such terms as, deemed fair and communicated to the Grantee, following which, the purchased Award shall be cancelled.

17.3 Issuance of new Awards to the same Grantee whose Awards have been cancelled pursuant to Rule 17.1 may only be made if there are unissued Awards available under the Scheme Mandate Limit and in compliance with the terms of the Scheme. Awards cancelled pursuant to the terms of the Scheme Rules (or the terms of any other share schemes of the Company) shall be counted as utilised for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit and the Service Provider Sublimit.

18. LAPSE OF AWARDS

18.1 Without prejudice to the authority of the Scheme Administrator to provide additional situations when an Award shall lapse in the terms of any Award Letter, an Award shall lapse automatically (to the extent not already vested) on the earliest of:

(a) the expiry of any applicable vesting period;

(b) the date on which the Board makes a determination under Rule 19;

(c) the expiry of any of the periods for exercising the Award as referred to in Rule 20;

(d) the date on which the Grantee commits a breach of Rule 15.2; and

(e) the date on which the Grantee gives written notice to the Scheme Administrator that such Award is forfeited by the Grantee.

18.2 The Scheme Administrator shall have the power to decide whether an Award shall lapse and its decision shall be binding and conclusive on all parties. The Company shall not owe any liability to any Grantee for the lapse of any Award under this Rule 18.

19. CLAWBACK

19.1 In the event that:

(a) a Grantee ceases to be an Eligible Participant by reason of: (i) termination of the Grantee’s employment or contractual engagement with the Group for cause or without notice; (ii) termination of the Grantee’s employment or contractual engagement with the Group as a result of the Grantee having been charged, penalised or convicted of an offence involving the Grantee’s integrity or honesty;

(b) in the reasonable opinion of the Scheme Administrator, a Grantee has committed a serious breach of an internal policy or code of any member of the Group or agreement with any member of the Group, including the breach of a non-compete obligation imposed on the Grantee by the Group, and such breach is considered material;

(c) in the reasonable opinion of the Scheme Administrator, a Grantee has engaged in serious misconduct or breaches the terms of this Scheme in any material respect;

(d) in the reasonable opinion of the Scheme Administrator, an Award to the Grantee will no longer be appropriate and aligned with the purpose of the Scheme; or

(e) where the Company is required to exercise a clawback in accordance with the Applicable Laws, rules and regulations and/or pursuant to a request from any regulatory authority (including without limitation the Stock Exchange),

then the Scheme Administrator may make a determination at its absolute discretion that: (A) any Awards granted but not yet vested shall immediately lapse, and (B) with respect to any H Shares delivered, or cash payment paid to the Grantee pursuant to any Awards granted under this Scheme, the Grantee shall be required to transfer back to the Company or its nominee (1) the equivalent number of H Shares, (2) an amount in cash equal to the market value of such H Shares or the cash payment, or (3) a combination of (1) and (2).

20. RETIREMENT AND OTHER EVENTS

20.1 Retirement:

(a) If a Grantee ceases to be an Eligible Participant by reason of the Grantee’s retirement: any outstanding Awards not yet vested shall continue to vest in accordance with the Vesting Dates set out in the Award Letter, or such other period as the Scheme Administrator may determine at their sole discretion.

(b) A Grantee shall be taken to have retired on the date that the Grantee retires upon or after reaching the age of retirement specified in the Grantee’s service agreement or pursuant to any retirement policy of the relevant member of the Group applicable to the Grantee from time to time or, in case there is no such terms of retirement applicable to the Grantee, with the approval of the Scheme Administrator.


20.2 Work-related death or permanent incapacity: If a Grantee ceases to be an Eligible Participant by reason of (i) work-related death of the Grantee; or (ii) the termination of the Grantee’s employment or contractual engagement with any member of the Group by reason of the Grantee’s work-related permanent physical or mental disablement:

in the case of Awards, any outstanding Awards not yet vested shall immediately vest. If any performance assessment indicators are attached to an Award, such performance assessment indicators shall no longer serve as a condition of vesting. The Company shall deliver such number of Award Shares as are equal to the vested Awards or the cash payment (hereinafter referred to as “Benefits”) to the legal personal representatives of the Grantee or the persons charged with the duty of representing the Grantee under the relevant laws in Hong Kong or the PRC, as the case may be, as soon as practicable following the death or permanent incapacity of the Grantee or, if the Benefits would otherwise become bona vacantia, the Benefits shall be forfeited and cease to be transferable and such Benefits shall lapse.

20.3 Other reasons: unless otherwise determined by the Scheme Administrator: (i) if a Grantee ceases to be an Eligible Participant, or where the Grantee’s employment or contractual engagement with the Group is terminated, for reasons other than those set out in Rule 19 or the preceding provisions of this Rule 20, including but not limited to the cases of negotiating departure, being dismissed or non-work-related death or permanent incapacity; or (ii) where the Grantee’s employment or contractual engagement with the Group has been suspended, or the Grantee’s position within or in relation to the Group has been vacated, for more than six (6) months:

(a) the number of H Shares comprising the Scheme Mandate Limit or Service Provider Sublimit, provided that in the event of any share subdivision or consolidation the Scheme Mandate Limit and Service Provider Sublimit as a percentage of the total issued H Shares of the Company at the date immediately before any consolidation or subdivision shall be the same on the date immediately after such consolidation or subdivision, rounded to the nearest whole share;

  • 28 -

(b) the number of H Shares comprised in each Award to the extent any Award has not been sold;
(c) the Purchase Price of any Award,

or any combination thereof, as the Auditors or a financial advisor engaged by the Company for such purpose have certified in writing that such adjustments satisfy the relevant requirements of the Listing Rules and are, in their opinion, fair and reasonable either generally or as regards any particular Grantee, provided always that: (i) any such adjustments should give each Grantee the same proportion of the equity capital of the Company, rounded to the nearest whole Share, as that to which that Grantee was previously entitled prior to such adjustments; and (ii) no such adjustments shall be made which would result in a Share being issued at less than its nominal value. The capacity of the Auditors or financial advisor (as the case may be) in this Rule 21 is that of experts and not of arbitrators and their certification shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final and binding on the Company and the Grantees.

Corporate Transactions

21.2 If there is an event of change in control of the Company as the result of a merger, scheme of arrangement or general offer, or in the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Scheme Administrator shall at its sole discretion determine whether the Vesting Dates of any Awards will be accelerated and/or the vesting conditions or criteria of any Awards will be amended or waived, and notify the Grantees accordingly.
21.3 For the purpose of Rule 21.2, "control" shall have the meaning as specified in The Codes on Takeovers and Mergers and Share Buy-backs issued by the SFC from time to time.

(ii) Rights issue or open offer

$$
\mathrm {Q} = \mathrm {Q} _ {0} \times \mathrm {P} _ {1} \times (1 + \mathrm {n}) \div (\mathrm {P} _ {1} + \mathrm {P} _ {2} \times \mathrm {n})
$$

Where: $Q_0$ represents the number of the Awards prior to the adjustment; $P_1$ represents the closing price of the Awards as at the registration date; $P_2$ represents the subscription price in respect of the rights issue/open offer; n represents the ratio of the right issue/open offer (i.e. the number of shares to be issued under the rights issue/open offer in proportion to the total share capital of the Company prior to the rights issue/open offer); and Q represents the number of the Awards after the adjustment.

(iii) Share consolidation

$$
\mathrm {Q} = \mathrm {Q} _ {0} \times \mathrm {n}

(iv) New issue or reduction of share capital

In the event of issue of new shares or reduction of share capital by the Company, the number of the Awards will not be adjusted.

Adjustment methods of the Purchase Price

21.5 In the event of any alteration in the capital structure of the Company by way of capitalization of profits or reserves, bonus issue, rights issue, share subdivision, open offer or consolidation of Shares (other than any alteration in the capital structure of the Company as a result of an issue of Shares as consideration in a transaction to which the Company is a party) during the period from the acceptance date by the Eligible Participants to the date of the Eligible Participants' vesting of the Awards, the Purchase Price of H Shares comprised in each Award to the extent of any Award(s) shall be adjusted accordingly. The adjustment methods are as follows:

(i) Capitalization of capital reserves, bonus issue or share subdivision

\mathrm {P} = \mathrm {P} _ {0} \div (1 + \mathrm {n})
$$

Where: $P_0$ represents the Purchase Price prior to the adjustment; n represents the ratio of increase per share resulting from the capitalization of capital reserves, bonus issue or share subdivision; and P represents the Purchase Price after the adjustment.

  • 30 -

(ii) Rights issue or open offer

$$
\mathrm {P} = \mathrm {P} _ {0} \times \left(\mathrm {P} _ {1} + \mathrm {P} _ {2} \times \mathrm {n}\right) \div \left[ \mathrm {P} _ {1} \times (1 + \mathrm {n}) \right]
$$

Where: $\mathrm{P}_0$ represents the Purchase Price prior to the adjustment; $\mathrm{P}_1$ represents the closing price of the Awards as at the record date; $\mathrm{P}_2$ represents the subscription price in respect of the rights issue/open offer; n represents the ratio of the rights issue/open offer (i.e. the number of shares to be issued under the rights issue/open offer in proportion to the total share capital of the Company prior to the rights issue/open offer); and P represents the Purchase Price after the adjustment.

(iii) Share consolidation

$$
\mathrm {P} = \mathrm {P} _ {0} \div \mathrm {n}
$$

Where: $\mathrm{P}_0$ represents the Purchase Price prior to the adjustment; n represents the ratio of share consolidation; and P represents the Purchase Price after the adjustment.

22.2 The consent of the relevant Grantee is required for any change to the provisions of this Scheme or any Awards granted under this Scheme to the extent that such amendment or alteration has a material adverse effect on any subsisting rights of that Grantee at that date in respect of Awards already granted to that Grantee and to the extent that such Awards have not vested or lapsed or been forfeited, provided that no such consent shall be required if the Scheme Administrator determines in its sole discretion that such amendment or alteration either:

(a) is necessary or advisable in order for the Company, this Scheme or the Award to satisfy any Applicable Laws or Listing Rules or to meet the requirements of, or avoid adverse consequences under, any accounting standard; or

23.2 The Scheme shall terminate on the earlier of:

  1. MISCELLANEOUS

Governing Law and Third Party Rights

24.1 The Scheme Rules and all Awards granted hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Hong Kong.

24.2 The Scheme shall operate subject to the Articles of Association and to any restrictions under any Applicable Laws, rules and regulations (including the Listing Rules). All allotments and issuances of H Shares pursuant to this Scheme will be subject to all necessary consents under any relevant legislation and Listing Rules for the time being in force in Hong Kong and in the Company’s place of incorporation or domicile.

24.3 Save as otherwise expressly provided in the Scheme Rules, no third party (which for the purposes of this Rule 24.3 means any person other than the Company and Grantees) shall have the right to enforce any of the terms of the Scheme or the Scheme Rules or otherwise enjoy any benefits under the Scheme pursuant to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Ordinance (Cap. 623 of the Laws of Hong Kong) or otherwise. Alteration of the Scheme, the Scheme Rules, Awards, or Award Letter may be effected in accordance with Rule 22 without requiring the consent of any third party.

No Rights or Liability to Grantee

24.4 This Scheme shall not form part of any contract of employment or other contract between the Company or any Subsidiary and any Eligible Participant or Grantee, and the rights and obligations of any Eligible Participant or Grantee under the terms of the Grantee’s office or employment or engagement shall not be affected by the Grantee’s participation in this Scheme or any right which the Grantee may have to participate in it, and this Scheme shall afford such Eligible Participant or Grantee no additional rights to compensation or damages in consequence of the termination of such office or employment or engagement for any reason.

24.5 The Company shall not be responsible to: (i) any Eligible Participant or Grantee for any failure by the Company or any person involved in the management or administration of the Scheme; (ii) any person (including any Eligible Participant and Grantee) to obtain any consent or approval required for such person to participate in the Scheme; or (iii) any Eligible Participant or Grantee for any Taxes, expenses, fees or any other liability to which such Eligible Participant or Grantee may become subject as a result of participation in the Scheme.

  • 33 -

24.6 Save as specifically provided herein, this Scheme shall not confer on any person any legal or equitable rights against any member of the Group directly or indirectly or give rise to any cause of action at law or in equity against the any member of the Group. No person shall, under any circumstances, hold the Board, the Scheme Administrator, the Company or any other member of the Group, any administrator or any Trustee or designated third party liable for any costs, losses, expenses and/or damages whatsoever arising from or in connection with the Scheme or the administration thereof.

24.7 In the event that an Award lapses or is forfeited in accordance with the Scheme Rules, no Grantee shall be entitled to any compensation for any loss or any right or benefit or prospective right or benefit under the Scheme which the Grantee might otherwise have enjoyed.

24.8 A Grantee shall be responsible for obtaining any governmental or other official consent or approval that may be required by any country or jurisdiction in order to permit the grant, holding or vesting of any Award. By accepting an offer of the grant of an Award or vesting an Award, the Grantee thereof is deemed to have represented to the Company that the Grantee has obtained all such consents and approvals. Compliance with this Rule shall be a condition precedent to an acceptance and vesting of an Award by a Grantee. Each Grantee, by their acceptance of any Award, shall thereby agree to indemnify each member of the Group fully against all claims, demands, liabilities, actions, proceedings, fees, costs and expenses which they may suffer or incur (whether alone or jointly with other party or parties) for or in respect of any failure on the part of the Grantee to obtain any necessary consent or approval or to pay tax or other liabilities referred therein. No member of the Group shall be responsible for any failure by a Grantee to obtain any such consent or approval or for any tax or other liability to which a Grantee may become subject as a result of the Grantee’s participation in the Scheme.

Severability

24.9 Each provision hereof shall be treated as a separate provision and shall be severally enforceable as such in the event of any provision or provisions being or becoming unenforceable in whole or in part. To the extent that any provision or provisions hereof are unenforceable they shall be deemed to be deleted from the Scheme Rules, and any such deletion shall not affect the enforceability of the Scheme Rules as remain not so deleted.

Personal Data

24.10 By accepting an Award and participating in the Scheme, each Grantee consents to the holding, processing, storage and use of personal data or information concerning the Grantee by any member of the Group or other third party service provider, in Hong Kong or elsewhere, for the purpose of the administration, management or operation of the Scheme. Such consent permits, but is not limited to, the following:

(c) the provision of data or information to future purchasers or merger partners of the Company or any other member of the Group, the Grantee’s employing company, or the business in which the Grantee works;

(d) the transfer of data or information about the Grantee to a country or territory outside China, Hong Kong or the Grantee’s home country which may not provide the same statutory protection for the information about the Grantee as in China, Hong Kong or the Grantee’s home country; and

(e) in the case where an announcement or other disclosure document is required to be made pursuant to the Listing Rules in connection with this Scheme (including but not limited the adoption of this Scheme and grant of an Award), the disclosure of the identity of such Grantee, the number of Award Shares and the terms of the Award granted and/or to be granted and all other information as required under the Listing Rules.

The Grantee is entitled, on payment of a reasonable fee, to a copy of the personal data held about the Grantee, and if such personal data is inaccurate, the Grantee has the right to have it corrected.
