GRANT OF AWARDED SHARES UNDER THE SHARE AWARD SCHEME

On 6 May 2021, based on the recommendation of the remuneration committee of the Company, the Board resolved to grant a total of 3,192,565 Awarded Shares, which have been acquired by the Trustee from the open market by utilising the Company's internal resources provided to the Trustee, to (i) nine Share Award Grantees, who are Directors; and (ii) 14 Share Award Grantees, who are employees of the Group pursuant to the Share Award Scheme at nil consideration, subject to the acceptances by the Share Award Grantees. To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, save for the Share Award Grantees who are Directors as disclosed above, each of the other Share Award Grantees is a third party independent of the Company and its connected persons.

The grant of the Awarded Shares to the Directors has been approved by the Board (including all three independent non-executive Directors, save and except for the relevant Director who is a Share Award Grantee whom has abstained from voting in relation to the grant of awarded shares to himself/herself). The grant of the Awarded Shares to the Directors also forms part of their remuneration packages under their respective service contracts with the Company, and is therefore exempt from the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders' approval requirements under Rule 14A.73(6) and Rule 14A.95 of the Listing Rules.

The 3,192,565 Awarded Shares to be granted to the Share Award Grantees represent approximately 0.27% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement. The 3,192,565 Awarded Shares represent the value of approximately HK$38.12 million, taking into account of the closing price of HK$11.94 per Share as stated in the daily quotation sheets issued by the Stock Exchange on the Date of Grant.
