Note: The number of Incentive Shares to be granted to the Proposed Grantees is determined based on "the amount of Incentive Shares to be granted" set out in the above table. If there is any difference between the total number and the sum of the figures preceding them in the above table, it is caused by rounding adjustments.
The funds used by the Proposed Grantees for subscribing for restricted Shares, exercising the Share options and paying individual income tax shall be derived from their own funds. In respect of subscribing for Incentive Shares, the Company undertakes not to provide loans to the Proposed Grantees, nor any other financial aids, such as providing guarantee for their loans.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSED GRANT
The Board believes that the Proposed Grant will help further establish and optimize the Company's long-term incentive mechanism, attract and retain talent, fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the Company's Directors, Supervisors, senior management, middle management, and core technical (business) personnel and other persons who, in the opinion of the Board, shall be incentivized, effectively combine the interests of Shareholders, the interests of the Company and the personal interests of the core team, so as to ensure all parties will pay attention to the long-term development of the Company and enhance its operating efficiency.
The Board believes that the terms and conditions of the Proposed Grant are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms, and in the interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole, and the Proposed Grant shall not have a material impact on the financial conditions and operating results of the Company.
