Filing Explained
The filing adds an important lifecycle distinction: the 530,630 RSUs were granted on September 15, but the underlying Class A shares are reserved for future issuance upon exercise or vesting rather than reported as issued now. The awards are to be satisfied using Class A shares held by the ADS depositary for bulk issuance of ADSs; the filing defines each ADS as representing two Class A ordinary shares.

For the Grants, subject to the Grantee’s continued employment relationship with the Company on such vesting dates, (i) approximately 77.48% 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; and (ii) approximately 22.52% 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.
Performance Target
A portion of the Share Awards representing approximately 81.83% 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. 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 under the Grants 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.
