EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Registration Statement is filed by Bilibili Inc. (the “Registrant”) to register additional 10,000,000 Class Z ordinary shares to be delivered upon the exercise of outstanding options and vesting of outstanding restricted share units granted under the Amended and Restated 2018 Share Incentive Plan and 2,408,000 Class Z ordinary shares reserved for future delivery of shares pursuant to the awards granted or to be granted under the Second Amended and Restated 2018 Share Incentive Plan, which were not previously registered under the registration statements on Form S-8, as filed with the Commission on July 18, 2018 (File No. 333-226216), on September 21, 2021 (File No. 333-259682), and on October 3, 2022 (File No. 333-267701) (the “Prior Registration Statements”). In accordance with General Instruction E to Form S-8, the contents of the Prior Registration Statements are incorporated herein by reference, except as otherwise set forth herein.

On June 28, 2024, the shareholders of the Registrant approved the Second Amended and Restated 2018 Share Incentive Plan, which amended and restated the Amended and Restated 2018 Share Incentive Plan to, among other things, refresh the maximum aggregate number of Class Z ordinary shares which may be issued in respect of all awards to be granted thereunder to 41,413,503, representing 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company as at June 28, 2024 (the “Scheme Limit”), and the awards granted under the Amended and Restated 2018 Share Incentive Plan shall remain valid in accordance with the terms and conditions thereunder but not count toward the Scheme Limit.

This Registration Statement also registers 92,000 Class Z ordinary shares underlying the awards that may be granted under the 2024 Share Incentive Plan. The securities that may be delivered pursuant to the awards under the 2024 Share Incentive Plan will be in the form of shares or ADSs (each ADS representing one Class Z ordinary share) that are purchased in the open market by a third party trust from time to time in connection with the 2024 Share Incentive Plan.

1


  (b)

The description of the Registrant’s Class Z ordinary shares and ADSs incorporated by reference in the Registrant’s registration statement on Form 8-A (File No. 001-38429) filed with the Commission on March 16, 2018, including any amendment and report subsequently filed for the purpose of updating that description.

All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, after the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement will be deemed to be modified or superseded to the extent that a statement contained in this Registration Statement or in any other later filed document that also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded will not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to be a part of this Registration Statement.

Item 4. Description of Securities

Not applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

Not applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide for indemnification of directors and officers, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. The Registrant’s currently effective eighth amended and restated articles of association, adopted by its shareholders on June 30, 2022, provides that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors and officers against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by such persons, other than by reason of such persons’ own dishonesty, willful default or fraud, in or about the conduct of the Registrant’s business or affairs (including as a result of any mistake of judgment) or in the execution or discharge of their duties, powers, authorities or discretions, including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by such persons in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil proceedings concerning the Registrant or its affairs in any court whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere.

Pursuant to the indemnification agreements, the form of which was filed as Exhibit 10.3 to the Registrant’s registration statement on Form F-1, as amended (File No. 333-223405) (the “Form F-1”), the Registrant has agreed to indemnify its directors and officers against certain liabilities and expenses incurred by such persons in connection with claims made by reason of their being such a director or officer.

 

2


Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

The Registrant also maintains a directors and officers liability insurance policy for its directors and officers.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed

Not applicable.

Item 8. Exhibits

See the Index to Exhibits attached hereto.

Item 9. Undertakings

 

  (a)

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

  (1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

 

  (i)

to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

  (ii)

to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement; and

 

  (iii)

to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to that information in the Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement;

 

  (2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  (3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

3


  (b)

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  (c)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

We have acted as Cayman Islands legal advisers to Bilibili Inc. 嗶哩嗶哩股份有限公司 (the “Company”) in connection with the Company’s registration statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”), to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) relating to the registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of Class Z ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0001 each in the share capital of the Company (the “Shares”), pursuant to the “Plans” as defined in Schedule 1.

The purpose of this Second Amended and Restated 2018 Share Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is to promote the success and enhance the value of Bilibili Inc., an exempted company formed under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), by linking the personal interests of the Eligible Participants to those of the Company’s shareholders and by providing such individuals with an incentive for outstanding performance to generate superior returns to the Company’s shareholders.

SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

3.1 Number of Shares.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Article 9 and Article 3.1(b), the maximum aggregate number of shares of the Company which may be issued pursuant to all Awards (including Incentive Share Options) together with the number of shares of the Company which may be issued pursuant to any awards to be granted under any other share schemes of the Company shall be the number of shares of the Company representing 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company (including both Class Y ordinary shares and Class Z ordinary shares) as at the date on which the Company’s shareholders approved the Plan (the “Adoption Date”) rounded down to the nearest integer (the “Scheme Limit”), of which the maximum number of shares of the Company which may be issued pursuant to all Awards to be granted to Service Provider Participants under the Plan shall be the number of shares of the Company representing 0.5% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company (including both Class Y ordinary shares and Class Z ordinary shares) as of the Adoption Date rounded down to the nearest integer (the “Service Provider Sublimit”). For the avoidance of doubt, Shares issued or to be issued pursuant to awards made under the Global Share Plan and this Plan (before the Adoption Date) shall not count toward the Scheme Limit or the Service Provider Sublimit.

 

7


(b) To the extent that an Award lapses in accordance with the terms of the Plan (or the terms of any other share schemes of the Company), any Shares subject to the Award shall again be available for the grant of an Award pursuant to the Plan and shall not be counted for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Limit and the Service Provider Sublimit. To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, Shares issued in assumption of, or in substitution for, any outstanding awards of any entity acquired in any form or combination by a Group Entity shall not be counted against Shares available for grant pursuant to the Plan. Shares delivered by the Participant or withheld by the Company upon the exercise of any Award under the Plan, in payment of the exercise price thereof or tax withholding thereon, may again be optioned, granted or awarded hereunder, subject to the limitations of Article 3.1(a). To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, if any Restricted Shares are forfeited by the Participant or repurchased by the Company, such Shares may again be optioned, granted or awarded hereunder, subject to the limitations of Article 3.1(a). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 3.1(b), no Shares may again be optioned, granted or awarded if such action would cause an Incentive Share Option to fail to qualify as an incentive share option under Section 422 of the Code or would result in a breach of the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

3.2 Shares Distributed. Any Shares distributed pursuant to an Award shall be identical to all existing issued Shares and shall be distributed subject to all the provisions of the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company for the time being in force and will rank pari passu with the other fully paid Shares in issue on the date the name of the Participant is registered on the register of members of the Company, subject to Applicable Laws. For the avoidance of doubt, a Participant 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 unless and until certificates representing such Shares (which may be in book entry form) shall have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to the Participant (including through electronic delivery to a brokerage account). Additionally, at the discretion of the Committee, American Depositary Shares in an amount equal to the number of Shares which otherwise would be distributed pursuant to an Award may be distributed in lieu of Shares in settlement of any Award. If the number of Shares represented by an American Depositary Share is other than on a one-to-one basis, the limitations of Article 3.1 shall be adjusted to reflect the distribution of American Depositary Shares in lieu of Shares.

3.3 Refreshing the Scheme Limit and the Service Provider Sublimit. The Company may refresh either of the Scheme Limit and/or the Service Provider Sublimit:

(a) from the later of three years after the Adoption Date or three years after the date of the previous shareholder approval for refreshment of the Scheme Limit or the Service Provider Sublimit (as the case may be) pursuant to this Article, with the prior approval of shareholders in general meeting by way of ordinary resolution; or

 

8


(b) at any time, with the prior approval of the shareholders in general meeting and subject to compliance with any additional requirements set out in the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

3.4 Limit on Refreshed Scheme Limit. The total number of shares of the Company which may be issued in respect of all Awards to be granted under the Plan under the Scheme Limit as refreshed pursuant to Article 3.3 and all other share schemes of the Company shall not exceed 10% the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company (including both Class Y ordinary shares and Class Z ordinary shares) as at the date of the approval to refresh the Scheme Limit by the shareholders in general meeting. For purposes of this limitation, Awards already granted under the Plan and any other share schemes of the Company (including those exercised, outstanding, cancelled or lapsed in accordance with its terms) shall not be counted for the purpose of calculating the number of shares of the Company that may be issued under the Scheme Limit as refreshed.

3.5 Awards in Excess of the Scheme Limit. The Company may seek separate approval of the shareholders in general meeting to grant Awards beyond the Scheme Limit to Eligible Participants specifically identified by the Company, subject to compliance with the requirements set out in the Hong Kong Listing Rules and other Applicable Laws.

  (a)

the Participant will have until the date that is 90 days after the Participant’s termination of employment or service to exercise his or her Options (or portion thereof) to the extent that such Options were vested and exercisable on the date of the Participant’s termination of employment or service;

The performance targets may be based on transaction milestones, business or financial performance results, individual performance appraisal and/or contribution to the Group, and as evaluated by the Group over a specified evaluation period, and may vary among individual Awards and Participants. Details of any such performance targets, criteria or conditions shall be set out in the Award Agreement. 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 Agreement.

8.5 Share Certificates.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates evidencing the Shares pursuant to the exercise of any Award, unless and until the Committee has determined, with advice of counsel, that the issuance and delivery of such certificates is in compliance with all Applicable Laws, regulations of governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements of any exchange on which the Shares are listed or traded. All Share certificates delivered pursuant to the Plan are subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to comply with all Applicable Laws, and the rules of any national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Shares are listed, quoted, or traded. The Committee may place legends on any Share certificate to reference restrictions applicable to the Shares. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Committee may require that a Participant make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and representations as the Committee, in its discretion, deems advisable in order to comply with any such laws, regulations, or requirements. The Committee shall have the right to require any Participant to comply with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement or exercise of any Award, including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the discretion of the Committee.

 

16


(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless otherwise determined by the Committee or required by Applicable Laws, the Company shall not deliver to any Participant certificates evidencing Shares issued in connection with any Award and instead such Shares shall be recorded on the books of the Company or, as applicable, its transfer agent or the Committee.

8.6 Paperless Administration. Subject to Applicable Laws, the Committee may make Awards and provide applicable disclosure and procedures for exercise of Awards by an internet website or interactive voice response system for the paperless administration of Awards.

8.7 Foreign Currency. A Participant may be required to provide evidence that any currency used to pay the exercise price of any Award was acquired and taken out of the jurisdiction in which the Participant resides in accordance with Applicable Laws, including foreign exchange control laws and regulations. In the event the exercise price for an Award is paid in Chinese Renminbi or other foreign currency, as permitted by the Committee, the amount payable will be determined by conversion from U.S. dollars at the official rate promulgated by the People’s Bank of China for Chinese Renminbi, or for jurisdictions other than the People’s Republic of China, the exchange rate as selected by the Committee on the date of exercise.

8.8 Limits on Grants of Awards.

(a) 1% Individual Limit. Unless approved by the Company’s shareholders in general meeting, the total number of shares of the Company issued and to be issued upon the exercise of Awards granted and to be granted under the Plan and any other share schemes of the Company to a Participant (including both exercised and outstanding awards) within any 12-month period shall not exceed 1% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company (including both Class Y ordinary shares and Class Z ordinary shares) at the date of any grant. Any further grant of Awards to an Eligible Participant which would exceed the aforementioned limit shall be subject to separate approval of the shareholders in general meeting with the relevant Eligible Participant and their Associates abstaining from voting. A circular shall be sent to the shareholders disclosing the information required to be disclosed under the Hong Kong Listing Rules. The number and terms of the Awards to be granted to such Eligible Participant shall be fixed before the shareholders’ approval is sought. For any Options to be granted in such circumstances, the date of the Board meeting for proposing such further grant shall be the date of grant for the purpose of calculating the exercise price.

(b) Limit on Grant to Director, Chief Executive or Substantial Shareholder. Any grant of Awards to any director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of the Company, or any of their respective Associates, shall be subject to the prior approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board (except that any member who is a proposed recipient of the grant of any Awards shall abstain from voting on such matter) and the independent directors of the Company (except that any independent director of the Company who is a proposed recipient of the grant of any Awards shall abstain from voting on such matter). The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board must make a recommendation on any grant of Awards to a Director who is a beneficiary of weighted voting rights pursuant to the Hong Kong Listing Rules. In addition:

 

17


(1) where any grant of Awards (but not any grant of Options) to any director of the Company (other than an independent director of the Company) or chief executive of the Company, or any of their respective Associates, would result in the shares of the Company issued and to be issued in respect of all Awards granted under the Plan and awards granted under any other share schemes of the Company (excluding any awards lapsed in accordance with the terms of the relevant share scheme) to such person in the 12-month period up to and including the date of such grant representing in aggregate over 0.1% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company (including both Class Y ordinary shares and Class Z ordinary shares) at the date of such grant; or

(2) where any grant of Awards to an independent director or substantial shareholder of the Company, or any of their respective Associates, would result in the number of shares of the Company issued and to be issued upon exercise of all Awards already granted under the Plan and awards granted under any other share schemes of the Company (excluding any awards lapsed in accordance with the terms of the relevant share scheme) to such person in the 12 month period up to and including the date of such grant representing in aggregate over 0.1% (or such other higher percentage as may from time to time be specified by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange) of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company (including both Class Y ordinary shares and Class Z ordinary shares),

such further grant of Awards must be approved by shareholders of the Company in general meeting in the manner required, and subject to the requirements set out, in the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

(c) Limit on Time of Grant. No Award shall be granted to any Eligible Participant:

(1) in circumstances prohibited by the Hong Kong Listing Rules or at a time when the relevant Eligible Participant would be prohibited from dealing in the Shares by the Hong Kong Listing Rules or by any other Applicable Laws;

(2) where the Company is in possession of any unpublished inside information in relation to the Company, until (and including) the trading day after such inside information has been announced; or

(3) during the periods commencing one month immediately before the earlier of the date of the board meeting for approving the Company’s results for any year, half-year, quarterly or any other interim period and the deadline for the Company to announce such results, and ending on the date of the results announcement, provided that such period will also cover any period of delay in the publication of any results announcement,

and any such grant so made (or made without being subject to the necessary conditions contemplated by this Article) shall be null and void to the extent (and only to the extent) that it falls within the circumstances described above.

 

18


8.9 Vesting of Awards.

(a) Determination of Vesting Dates and Criteria. The Committee may in respect of each Award and subject to all Applicable Laws determine the applicable Vesting Dates and/or any other criteria and conditions for vesting of the Awards in its sole and absolute discretion. The relevant Vesting Date of any Award and any other criteria or conditions for vesting shall be set out in the Award Agreement.

(b) Vesting Period Requirement. The Vesting Date in respect of any Award shall be not less than 12 months from the grant date, provided that for Employee Participants the Vesting Date may be less than 12 months from the grant date (including on the grant date) in the following circumstances:

(1) grants of “make whole” Awards to new Employee Participants to replace share awards such Employee Participants forfeited when leaving their previous employers;

(2) grants to an Employee Participant whose employment is terminated due to death or disability or event of force majeure;

(3) grants of Awards which are subject to the fulfilment of performance targets pursuant to Article 8.4;

(4) grants of Awards the timing of which is determined by administrative or compliance requirements not connected with the performance of the relevant Employee Participant, in which case the Vesting Date may be adjusted to take account of the time from which the Award would have been granted if not for such administrative or compliance requirements;

(5) grants of Awards with a mixed vesting schedule such that the Awards vest evenly over a period of 12 months;

(6) grants of Awards with a total vesting and holding period of more than 12 months; or

(7) grants to Employee Participants of a similar value to replace their equity incentive awards granted by any Subsidiary (the “Subsidiary Awards”), following the completion of the mergers and acquisitions carried out by the Company from time to time, following which the Subsidiary Awards will be lapsed. Upon the grant of replacement share incentives by the Company to replace the Subsidiary Awards, the vesting of the replacement grants will generally follow the original vesting schedule of the Subsidiary Awards, and there is a possibility that the time gap between the date of issuance of replacement grants and the first vesting date of the replacement grants will be less than 12 months. In this circumstance, the Awards granted by the Company may have a shorter (or no) vesting period to reflect the vesting status of the Subsidiary Awards which have been lapsed.

(c) If a Vesting Date is not a Hong Kong Trading Day, such Vesting Date shall, subject to any trading halt or suspension of dealings in the Shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, be deemed to be the next Hong Kong Trading Day immediately thereafter.

 

19


8.10 Cancellation of Awards. Any Awards granted but not exercised may be cancelled by the Committee at any time with the prior consent of the Participant. Issuance of new Awards to the same Participant whose Awards have been cancelled pursuant to this Article may only be made if there are unissued Awards available under the Scheme Limit (and the Service Provider Sublimit, if applicable) (excluding the Awards of the relevant Participant cancelled pursuant to this Article 8.10) and in compliance with the terms of the Plan.

8.11 Lapse of Awards. An Award shall lapse automatically (to the extent not already vested and, where relevant, exercised) on the earliest of:

(a) the expiry of any applicable exercise period (in respect of Options);

(b) the clawback mechanism being triggered pursuant to Article 8.12;

(c) the expiry of any of the periods for accepting or exercising the Award; and

(d) the date on which the Participant commits a material breach of the terms of the Plan (including any restriction on transferability of the Awards).

The Company shall not owe any liability to any Participant for the lapse of any Award under this Article 8.11.

8.12 Clawback. In the event that: (a) a Participant ceases to be an Eligible Participant by reason of the termination of his/her employment or contractual engagement with the Group or Related Entity for Cause or without notice or with payment in lieu of notice; (b) a Participant has been convicted of a criminal offence involving his/her integrity or honesty; or (c) in the reasonable opinion of the Board or the Committee, a Participant has engaged in serious misconduct or breaches the terms of this Plan in any material respect, then the Board or the Committee may make a determination at its absolute discretion to the extent permitted or required by Applicable Laws that: (A) any Awards issued to that Participant but not yet exercised shall immediately lapse, regardless of whether such Awards have vested or not, (B) with respect to any Shares vested, exercised, issued, transferred or paid to that Participant pursuant to such Awards, the Participant shall be required to transfer or pay back to the Company or its nominee (1) the equivalent number of Shares, (2) an amount in cash equal to the market value of such Shares, or (3) a combination of (1) and (2), and/or (C) with respect to any Shares held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Participant, those Shares shall no longer be held on trust for nor inure to the benefit of the Participant. Awards under the Plan shall be subject to the Clawback Policy, which may allow the Company to recover compensation that is granted, vested or paid to a person who served as an “Executive Officer” within the meaning of the Clawback Policy in the event of a required accounting restatement of the Company’s financial statement under the securities laws or other circumstances as described in the Clawback Policy.

ARTICLE 9

CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE

9.1 Adjustments. In the event of any capitalization issue, rights issue, subdivision of shares, share split, consolidation of shares, reverse share split, or reduction of the share capital of the Company (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) after the Adoption Date, the Committee shall make such proportionate adjustments, if any, as the Committee in its discretion subject to compliance with Applicable Laws may deem appropriate to reflect such change with respect to (a) the aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the number of Shares constituting the Scheme Limit or Service Provider Sublimit in Article 3.1, provided that in the event of any Share subdivision or consolidation, the Scheme Limit and Service Provider Sublimit as a percentage of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company (including both Class Z ordinary shares and Class Y ordinary shares) at the date immediately before any consolidation or subdivision shall be the same on the date immediately after such consolidation or subdivision);and (b) the grant or exercise/issue price per share for any outstanding Awards under the Plan, or any combination thereof, as the auditors of the Company or a financial advisor engaged by the Company for such purpose have certified satisfy the relevant requirements of the Hong Kong Listing Rules and are, in their opinion, fair and reasonable either generally or as regards any particular Participant, provided always that (i) any such adjustments should give each Participant the same proportion of the equity capital of the Company, rounded to the nearest whole Share, as that to which that Participant 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 Article 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 Participants.

9.2 Corporate Transactions. Except as may otherwise be provided in any Award Agreement or any other written agreement entered into by and between the Company and a Participant, if the Committee anticipates the occurrence, or upon the occurrence, of a Corporate Transaction, the Committee may, in its sole discretion subject to compliance with Applicable Laws, provide for (i) any and all Awards outstanding hereunder to terminate at a specific time in the future and shall give each Participant the right to exercise the vested portion of such Awards during a period of time as the Committee shall determine, or (ii) the purchase of any Award for an amount of cash equal to the amount that could have been attained upon the exercise of such Award (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of such date the Committee determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award, then such Award may be terminated by the Company without payment), or (iii) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Committee in its sole discretion or the assumption of or substitution of such Award by the successor or surviving corporation, or a Parent or Subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments to the Award, or (iv) payment of such Award in cash based on the value of Shares on the date of the Corporate Transaction plus reasonable interest on the Award through the date as determined by the Committee when such Award would otherwise be vested or have been paid in accordance with its original terms, if necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

9.3 Outstanding Awards – Other Changes. In the event of any other change in the capitalization of the Company or corporate change other than those specifically referred to in this Article 9, the Committee may, in its absolute discretion subject to compliance with Applicable Laws and this Plan, make such adjustments to Awards outstanding on the date on which such change occurs as the Committee may consider appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights, provided that such adjustments shall not involve adjustments to the exercise/issue price or the number of Shares subject to the Awards.

 

21


9.4 No Other Rights. Except as expressly provided in the Plan, no Participant shall have any rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of Shares of any class, the payment of any dividend, any increase or decrease in the number of shares of any class or any dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company or any other corporation. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or pursuant to action of the Committee under the Plan, and no issuance by the Company of shares of any class, or securities convertible into shares of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of Shares subject to an Award or the grant or exercise/issue price of any Award.

ARTICLE 10

ADMINISTRATION

10.1 Committee. The Plan shall be administered by the Board or a committee of one or more members of the Board (the “Committee”) to whom the Board shall delegate the authority to grant or amend Awards to Participants other than any of the Committee members, Independent Directors and executive officers of the Company. Reference to the Committee shall refer to the Board in absence of the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the full Board, acting by majority of its members in office, shall conduct the general administration of the Plan if required by Applicable Laws, and with respect to Awards granted to the Committee members, Independent Directors and executive officers of the Company and for purposes of such Awards the term “Committee” as used in the Plan shall be deemed to refer to the Board.

10.2 Action by the Committee. A majority of the Committee shall constitute a quorum. The acts of a majority of the members present at any meeting at which a quorum is present, and acts approved unanimously in writing all members of the Committee in lieu of a meeting, shall be deemed the acts of the Committee. Each member of the Committee is entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to that member by any officer or other employee of a Group Entity, the Company’s independent certified public accountants, or any executive compensation consultant or other professional retained by the Company to assist in the administration of the Plan.

10.3 Authority of the Committee. Subject to any specific designation in the Plan, the Committee has the exclusive power, authority and discretion to:

(a) designate Participants to receive Awards;

(b) determine the type or types of Awards to be granted to each Participant;

(c) determine the number of Awards to be granted and the number of Shares to which an Award will relate;

 

22


(d) determine the terms and conditions of any Award granted pursuant to the Plan, including, but not limited to, the exercise price, grant price, or issue price, any restrictions or limitations on the Award, vesting dates or vesting criteria, performance targets, any schedule for lapse of forfeiture restrictions or restrictions on the exercisability of an Award, clawback arrangements, and accelerations or waivers thereof, and any provisions related to non-competition and recapture of gain on an Award, based in each case on such considerations as the Committee in its sole discretion determines;

(e) determine whether, to what extent, and pursuant to what circumstances an Award may be settled in, or the exercise price of an Award may be paid in, cash, Shares, other Awards, or other property, or an Award may be canceled, forfeited, or surrendered;

(f) prescribe the form of each Award Agreement, which need not be identical for each Participant;

(g) decide all other matters that must be determined in connection with an Award;

(h) establish, adopt, or revise any rules and regulations as it may deem necessary or advisable to administer the Plan;

(i) establish any Trust, appoint any Trustee, approve the terms of any Trust Deed and make such other arrangements for the implementation and administration of the Plan as it shall see fit;

(k) amend terms and conditions of Award Agreements (subject to Article 10.5); and

(l) make all other decisions and determinations that may be required pursuant to the Plan or as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to administer the Plan, including design and adopt from time to time new types of Awards that are in compliance with Applicable Laws.

10.4 Decisions Binding. The Committee’s interpretation of the Plan, any Awards granted pursuant to the Plan, any Award Agreement and all decisions and determinations by the Committee with respect to the Plan are final, binding, and conclusive on all parties. In the event of any disagreement or ambiguity, the decision of the Board shall prevail.

10.5 Amendment to Award. Any amendment or alteration to the terms of any Award the grant of which was subject to the approval of a particular body (such as the Board or any committee thereof, the independent directors, or the shareholders of the Company in general meeting) shall be subject to approval by that same body, provided that this requirement does not apply where the relevant alteration takes effect automatically under existing terms of the Plan and that the terms of the Awards so altered shall still comply with the relevant requirements of the Applicable Laws. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any change in the terms of Awards granted to any Participant who is a director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of the Company, or any of their respective Associates, must be approved by the shareholders in general meeting in the manner required in the Hong Kong Listing Rules if the initial grant of the Awards requires such approval (except where the changes take effect automatically under the rules of the Plan).

 

23


10.6 Administration by Trust. The Company may establish a Trust and appoint a Trustee to hold Shares and other trust property under the Trust for the purposes of implementing and administering the Plan. The administration and operation of the Trust shall be governed by the Trust Deed. Unless otherwise agreed between the Company and any Trustee, the Committee shall act on behalf of the Company to give instructions to and direct the Trustee. The Company may issue and allot to the Trustee, on terms and at issue prices (including at par value) as shall be determined by the Board, the relevant number of Shares issuable in respect of any Awards, to be held by the Trustee on the terms of the Trust Deed and reserved for specified Eligible Participants. A Trustee shall not exercise any voting rights in respect of any unvested Shares held by it, unless otherwise required by law to vote in accordance with the beneficial owner’s direction and such a direction is given.

10.7 In the event that a Trust has been established to implement and administer the Plan, for the purposes and in lieu of satisfying the requirement to allot and issue Shares by the Company pursuant the to the vesting of the Awards, the Committee may at its discretion direct the Trustee, pursuant to the Trust Deed, to:

(a) transfer the relevant Shares to the Participant; or

(b) hold the relevant number of Shares on trust for the Participant until such time as the Committee directs the Trustee to

(1) (A) transfer the relevant Shares to the Participant or (B) sell the relevant Shares on-market through the facilities of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and/or Nasdaq at prevailing market prices and remit the actual price at which the Shares are sold (net of brokerage, trading fee, transaction levies and any other applicable costs) (the “Actual Selling Price”) to the Participant; and

(2) remit to the Participant any cash dividends or other distributions declared and paid in respect of the Shares which has accrued in respect of the relevant Shares from the relevant Vesting Date through to the date the Committee gives a direction to the Trustee pursuant to this Article 10.7.

Any stamp duty, fees, levies, brokerage or other direct costs and expenses arising on the transfer or sale of the Shares and payment of the Actual Selling Price as contemplated by this Article 10.7 shall be borne by the Participant and deducted by the Committee from any amounts payable to the Participant.

10.8 At the discretion of the Committee and to the extent permitted by the Hong Kong Listing Rules, any obligation of the Company to issue or transfer Shares to a Participant pursuant to the terms of the Plan may be satisfied by allotting, issuing or transferring the relevant Shares to the Participant’s nominee or depositing the relevant Shares in the Participant’s designated securities account held with the Central Clearing and Settlement System operated by The Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited, the details of which the Participant shall provide to the Committee upon request.

ARTICLE 12

AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION

12.1 Amendment, Modification, and Termination. At any time and from time to time, the Board may terminate, amend or modify the Plan; provided, however, that (a) to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws or stock exchange rules, the Company shall obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as required and the terms of the Plan so altered shall still comply with the relevant requirements of the Applicable Laws or stock exchange rules, (b) shareholder approval in general meeting is required for any amendment or alteration to the terms of the Plan which are of a material nature or to those provisions of the Plan which relate to the matters set out in Rule 17.03 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules to the extent that such alteration or amendment operates to the advantage of Eligible Participant, and (c) any change to the authority of the Board or the Committee, including under this Article 12.1, to alter the terms of the Plan shall be subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Company in general meeting.

In the event that the Plan is terminated or expired while any Award remains outstanding (and, if applicable, unexercised), the provisions of this Plan shall remain in full force to the extent necessary to give effect to the vesting or exercise of any such Award.

12.2 Awards Previously Granted. Except with respect to amendments made pursuant to Article 12.1, no termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect in any material way any Award previously granted pursuant to the Plan without the prior written consent of the Participant. Awards complying with the provisions of Chapter 17 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules which are granted during the life of the Plan and remaining unvested, unexercised and unexpired immediately prior to the termination of the operation of the Plan in accordance with Article 12.1 shall continue to be valid and exercisable in accordance with their terms of grant after the termination of the Plan.

 

25


ARTICLE 13

GENERAL PROVISIONS

13.1 No Rights to Awards. No Participant, employee, or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award pursuant to the Plan, and neither the Company nor the Committee is obligated to treat Participants, employees, and other persons uniformly.

13.2 No Shareholders Rights. No Award gives the Participant any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company unless and until Shares are in fact issued to or caused to be held by such person in connection with such Award. Accordingly, except as otherwise determined by the Committee, a Participant shall not have any voting rights, transfer 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 of members of the Company on a date prior to the name of such Participant being registered on such register. Where Shares are held on trust for the Participant pursuant to Article 10.7(b), a Participant may give instructions to the Trustee to exercise the voting rights in respect of those Award Shares pursuant to, and to the extent permitted by, the Trust Deed.

13.3 Taxes. No Shares shall be delivered under the Plan to any Participant until such Participant has made arrangements acceptable to the Committee for the satisfaction of any income and employment tax withholding obligations under Applicable Laws. The Company or any Subsidiary shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy all applicable taxes (including the Participant’s payroll tax obligations) required or permitted by Applicable Laws to be withheld with respect to any taxable event concerning a Participant arising as a result of this Plan. The Committee may in its discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement allow a Participant to elect to have the Company withhold Shares otherwise issuable under an Award (or allow the return of Shares) having a Fair Market Value equal to the sums required to be withheld. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the number of Shares which may be withheld with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of any Award (or which may be repurchased from the Participant of such Award after such Shares were acquired by the Participant from the Company) in order to satisfy any income and payroll tax liabilities applicable to the Participant with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of the Award shall, unless specifically approved by the Committee, be limited to the number of Shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding or repurchase equal to the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for the applicable income and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income.

13.4 No Right to Employment or Services. Nothing in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Service Recipient to terminate any Participant’s employment or services at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employment or services of any Service Recipient.

13.5 Unfunded Status of Awards. The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the relevant Group Entity.

 

26


13.6 Indemnification. To the extent allowable pursuant to Applicable Laws, each member of the Committee or of the Board shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such member in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action or failure to act pursuant to the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in satisfaction of judgment in such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her; provided he or she gives the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled pursuant to the Company’s Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

13.7 Relationship to Other Benefits. No payment pursuant to the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits pursuant to any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or other benefit plan of the any Group Entity except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in writing in such other plan or an agreement thereunder.

13.8 Expenses. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Group Entities.

13.9 Titles and Headings. The titles and headings of the Articles in the Plan are for convenience of reference only and, in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.

13.10 Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued and the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash shall be given in lieu of fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares shall be eliminated by rounding up or down as appropriate.

13.11 Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan, and any Award granted or awarded to any Participant who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by the Applicable Laws, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

13.12 Government and Other Regulations. The obligation of the Company to make payment of awards in Shares or otherwise shall be subject to all Applicable Laws, and to such approvals by government agencies as may be required. The Company shall be under no obligation to register any of the Shares paid pursuant to the Plan under the Securities Act or any other similar law in any applicable jurisdiction. If the Shares paid pursuant to the Plan may in certain circumstances be exempt from registration pursuant to the Securities Act or other Applicable Laws, the Company may restrict the transfer of such Shares in such manner as it deems advisable to ensure the availability of any such exemption.

 

27


13.13 Governing Law. The Plan and all Award Agreements shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the Cayman Islands.

13.14 Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy, difference or claim arising out of or relating to the Plan and all Award Agreements, including but not limited to (a) the existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination of the Plan and any of the Award Agreements or (b) any dispute regarding non-contractual obligations arising out of or relating to the Plan and any of the Award Agreements, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (the “HKIAC”) under the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules in force when the notice of arbitration is submitted. The law of this arbitration clause shall be Hong Kong law. The seat of arbitration shall be Hong Kong. The number of arbitrators shall be three. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English. The procedures for the taking of evidence shall be governed by the IBA Rules on the Taking of Evidence in International Arbitration as current on the date of commencement of the arbitration. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction of the award or having jurisdiction over the relevant party of its assets.

13.15 Section 409A.

SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

(a) Subject to the provisions of Article 9 and Article 3.1(b), the maximum aggregate number of shares of the Company which may be granted under this Plan, which shall consist of existing Shares only, shall be 41,272,920 Shares, being the number of Shares representing approximately 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company (including both Class Y ordinary shares and Class Z ordinary shares) as at the date on which the Board approved the Plan (the “Adoption Date”) (the “Scheme Limit”). For the avoidance of doubt, no new shares of the Company shall be issued pursuant to this Plan.

(b) Shares delivered by the Participant or withheld by the Company upon the exercise of any Award under the Plan, in payment of the exercise price thereof or tax withholding thereon, may again be optioned, granted or awarded hereunder, subject to the limitations of Article 3.1(a). To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, if any Restricted Shares are forfeited by the Participant or repurchased by the Company, such Shares may again be optioned, granted or awarded hereunder, subject to the limitations of Article 3.1(a). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 3.1(b), no Shares may again be optioned, granted or awarded if such action would cause an Incentive Share Option to fail to qualify as an incentive share option under Section 422 of the Code or would result in a breach of the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

4.2 Participation. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee may, from time to time, select from among all Eligible Participants, those to whom Awards shall be granted and shall determine the nature and amount of each Award. No individual shall have any right to be granted an Award pursuant to this Plan.

4.3 Jurisdictions. In order to assure the viability of Awards granted to Participants employed in various jurisdictions, the Committee may provide for such special terms as it may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy, or custom applicable in the jurisdiction in which the Participant resides, is employed, operates or is incorporated. Moreover, the Committee may approve such supplements to, or amendments, restatements, or alternative versions of, the Plan as it may consider necessary or appropriate for such purposes without thereby affecting the terms of the Plan as in effect for any other purpose; provided, however, that no such supplements, amendments, restatements, or alternative versions shall increase the share limitations contained in Article 3.1 of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may not take any actions hereunder, and no Awards shall be granted, that would violate any Applicable Laws.

ARTICLE 5

OPTIONS

5.1 General. The Committee is authorized to grant Options to Participants on the following terms and conditions:

(a) Exercise Price. The exercise price per Share subject to an Option shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement which shall in any event be no less than the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant (which must be a business day). The exercise price per Share subject to an Option may be amended or adjusted in the absolute discretion of the Committee, the determination of which shall be final, binding and conclusive. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Laws or any exchange rule, a downward adjustment of the exercise prices of Options mentioned in the preceding sentence shall be effective without the approval of the Company’s shareholders or the approval of the affected Participants.

(b) Time and Conditions of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the time or times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part, including exercise prior to vesting; provided that the term of any Option granted under the Plan shall not exceed ten years from the date of grant. An Option shall lapse automatically and shall not be exercisable (to the extent not already exercised) on the expiry of the tenth anniversary from the date of grant. The Committee shall also determine any conditions, if any, that must be satisfied before all or part of an Option may be exercised.

(c) Payment. The Committee shall determine the methods by which the exercise price of an Option may be paid, the form of payment, including, without limitation (i) cash or check denominated in U.S. Dollars, (ii) to the extent permissible under the Applicable Laws, cash or check in Chinese Renminbi, (iii) cash or check denominated in any other local currency as approved by the Committee, (iv) Shares held for such period of time as may be required by the Committee in order to avoid adverse financial accounting consequences and having a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Option or exercised portion thereof, (v) after the Trading Date the delivery of a notice that the Participant has placed a market sell order with a broker with respect to Shares then issuable upon exercise of the Option, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the Option exercise price; provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company upon settlement of such sale, (vi) other property acceptable to the Committee with a Fair Market Value equal to the exercise price, or (vii) any combination of the foregoing. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no Participant who is a member of the Board or an “executive officer” of the Company within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act shall be permitted to pay the exercise price of an Option in any method which would violate Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act.

(d) Evidence of Grant. All Options shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement between the Company and the Participant. The Award Agreement shall include such additional provisions as may be specified by the Committee.

(e) Effects of Termination of Employment or Service on Options. Termination of employment or service shall have the following effects on Options granted to the Participants:

(i) Dismissal for Cause. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, if a Participant’s employment by or service to the Service Recipient is terminated by the Service Recipient for Cause, the Participant’s Options will terminate upon such termination, whether or not the Option is then vested and/or exercisable;

(ii) Death or Disability. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, if a Participant’s employment by or service to the Service Recipient terminates as a result of the Participant’s death or Disability:

 

  (a)

the Participant (or his or her legal representative or beneficiary, in the case of the Participant’s Disability or death, respectively), will have until the date that is 12 months after the Participant’s termination of employment or service to exercise the Participant’s Options (or portion thereof) to the extent that such Options were vested and exercisable on the date of the Participant’s termination of employment or service on account of death or Disability;

 

  (b)

the Options, to the extent not vested and exercisable on the date of the Participant’s termination of employment or service, shall terminate upon the Participant’s termination of employment or service on account of death or Disability; and

 

  (c)

the Options, to the extent exercisable for the 12-month period following the Participant’s termination of employment or service and not exercised during such period, shall terminate at the close of business on the last day of the 12-month period.

 

9


(iii) Other Terminations of Employment or Service. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, if a Participant’s employment by or service to the Service Recipient terminates for any reason other than a termination by the Service Recipient for Cause or because of the Participant’s death or Disability:

 

  (a)

the Participant will have until the date that is 90 days after the Participant’s termination of employment or service to exercise his or her Options (or portion thereof) to the extent that such Options were vested and exercisable on the date of the Participant’s termination of employment or service;

 

  (b)

the Options, to the extent not vested and exercisable on the date of the Participant’s termination of employment or service, shall terminate upon the Participant’s termination of employment or service; and

5.2 Incentive Share Options. Incentive Share Options may be granted to Employees of the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company. Incentive Share Options may not be granted to Independent Directors or Consultants or to employees of any business, corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity in which the Company, a Parent or Subsidiary of the Company holds a substantial ownership interest, directly or indirectly, or controls through contractual arrangements and consolidates the financial results according to applicable accounting standards, but which is not a Subsidiary and which the Board designates as a Related Entity for purposes of the Plan. The terms of any Incentive Share Options granted pursuant to the Plan, in addition to the requirements of Article 5.1, must comply with the following additional provisions of this Article 5.2:

(a) Individual Dollar Limitation. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time the Option is granted) of all Shares with respect to which Incentive Share Options are first exercisable by a Participant in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000 or such other limitation as imposed by Section 422(d) of the Code, or any successor provision. To the extent that Incentive Share Options are first exercisable by a Participant in excess of such limitation, the excess shall be considered Non-Qualified Share Options.

 

10


(b) Exercise Price. The exercise price of an Incentive Share Option shall be equal to the Fair Market Value on the date of grant. However, the exercise price of any Incentive Share Option granted to any individual who, at the date of grant, owns Shares possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company may not be less than 110% of Fair Market Value on the date of grant and such Option may not be exercisable for more than five years from the date of grant.

The Participant shall give the Company prompt notice of any disposition of Shares acquired by exercise of an Incentive Share Option within (i) two years from the date of grant of such Incentive Share Option or (ii) one year after the transfer of such Shares to the Participant.

(d) Expiration of Incentive Share Options. No Award of an Incentive Share Option may be made pursuant to this Plan after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date.

  (c)

the designation of a beneficiary to receive benefits if the Participant dies or, if the Participant has died, transfers to or exercises by the Participant’s beneficiary, or, in the absence of a validly designated beneficiary, transfers by will or the laws of descent and distribution;

 

13


  (d)

if the Participant has suffered a disability, permitted transfers or exercises on behalf of the Participant by the Participant’s duly authorized legal representative; or

 

  (e)

Any permitted transfer shall be subject to the condition that the Committee receives evidence satisfactory to it that the transfer is being made for estate and/or tax planning purposes and on a basis consistent with the Company’s lawful issue of securities.

Notwithstanding anything else in this Article 8.2.2 to the contrary, but subject to compliance with all Applicable Laws, Incentive Share Options, Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units will be subject to any and all transfer restrictions under the Code applicable to such Awards or necessary to maintain the intended tax consequences of such Awards. Notwithstanding clause (b) above but subject to compliance with all Applicable Laws, any contemplated transfer by gift to “immediate family” as referenced in clause (b) above is subject to the condition precedent that the transfer be approved by the Committee in order for it to be effective.

8.3 Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding Article 8.2, a Participant may, in the manner determined by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon the Participant’s death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights pursuant to the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award Agreement applicable to the Participant, except to the extent the Plan and Award Agreement otherwise provide, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee. If the Participant is married and resides in a community property state, a designation of a person other than the Participant’s spouse as his or her beneficiary with respect to more than 50% of the Participant’s interest in the Award shall not be effective without the prior written consent of the Participant’s spouse. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant, payment shall be made to the person entitled thereto pursuant to the Participant’s will or the laws of descent and distribution. Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Participant at any time provided the change or revocation is filed with the Committee.

 

14


8.4 Performance Targets and Other Terms. The Committee, in its discretion, shall set performance targets or other vesting criteria which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number or value of the Awards that will be granted, vested or paid out to the Participants. Details of any such performance targets, criteria or conditions shall be set out in the Award Agreement. 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 Agreement.

8.5 Share Certificates.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates evidencing the Shares pursuant to the exercise of any Award, unless and until the Committee has determined, with advice of counsel, that the issuance and delivery of such certificates is in compliance with all Applicable Laws, regulations of governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements of any exchange on which the Shares are listed or traded. All Share certificates delivered pursuant to the Plan are subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to comply with all Applicable Laws, and the rules of any national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Shares are listed, quoted, or traded. The Committee may place legends on any Share certificate to reference restrictions applicable to the Shares. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Committee may require that a Participant make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and representations as the Committee, in its discretion, deems advisable in order to comply with any such laws, regulations, or requirements. The Committee shall have the right to require any Participant to comply with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement or exercise of any Award, including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the discretion of the Committee.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless otherwise determined by the Committee or required by Applicable Laws, the Company shall not deliver to any Participant certificates evidencing Shares transferred in connection with any Award and instead such Shares shall be recorded on the books of the Company or, as applicable, its transfer agent or the Committee.

8.6 Paperless Administration. Subject to Applicable Laws, the Committee may make Awards and provide applicable disclosure and procedures for exercise of Awards by an internet website or interactive voice response system for the paperless administration of Awards.

8.7 Foreign Currency. A Participant may be required to provide evidence that any currency used to pay the exercise price of any Award was acquired and taken out of the jurisdiction in which the Participant resides in accordance with Applicable Laws, including foreign exchange control laws and regulations. In the event the exercise price for an Award is paid in Chinese Renminbi or other foreign currency, as permitted by the Committee, the amount payable will be determined by conversion from U.S. dollars at the official rate promulgated by the People’s Bank of China for Chinese Renminbi, or for jurisdictions other than the People’s Republic of China, the exchange rate as selected by the Committee on the date of exercise.

 

15


8.8 Limits on Grants of Awards.

(a) Limit on Time of Grant. No Award shall be granted to any Eligible Participant:

(1) in circumstances prohibited by the Hong Kong Listing Rules or at a time when the relevant Eligible Participant would be prohibited from dealing in the Shares by the Hong Kong Listing Rules or by any other Applicable Laws; or

(2) where the Company is in possession of any unpublished inside information in relation to the Company, until (and including) the trading day after such inside information has been announced,

and any such grant so made (or made without being subject to the necessary conditions contemplated by this Article) shall be null and void to the extent (and only to the extent) that it falls within the circumstances described above.

8.9 Vesting of Awards.

(a) Determination of Vesting Dates and Criteria. The Committee may in respect of each Award and subject to all Applicable Laws determine the applicable Vesting Dates and/or any other criteria and conditions for vesting of the Awards in its sole and absolute discretion. The relevant Vesting Date of any Award and any other criteria or conditions for vesting shall be set out in the Award Agreement.

(b) If a Vesting Date is not a Hong Kong Trading Day, such Vesting Date shall, subject to any trading halt or suspension of dealings in the Shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, be deemed to be the next Hong Kong Trading Day immediately thereafter.

8.10 Cancellation of Awards. Any Awards granted but not exercised may be cancelled by the Committee at any time with the prior consent of the Participant.

8.11 Lapse of Awards. An Award shall lapse automatically (to the extent not already vested and, where relevant, exercised) on the earliest of:

(a) the expiry of any applicable exercise period (in respect of Options);

(b) the clawback mechanism being triggered pursuant to Article 8.12;

(c) the expiry of any of the periods for accepting or exercising the Award; and

(d) the date on which the Participant commits a material breach of the terms of the Plan (including any restriction on transferability of the Awards).

The Company shall not owe any liability to any Participant for the lapse of any Award under this Article 8.11.

 

16


8.12 Clawback. In the event that: (a) a Participant ceases to be an Eligible Participant by reason of the termination of his/her employment or contractual engagement with the Group or Related Entity for cause or without notice or with payment in lieu of notice; (b) a Participant has been convicted of a criminal offence involving his/her integrity or honesty; or (c) in the reasonable opinion of the Board or the Committee, a Participant has engaged in serious misconduct or breaches the terms of this Plan in any material respect, then the Board or the Committee may make a determination at its absolute discretion to the extent permitted or required by Applicable Laws that: (A) any Awards granted to that Participant but not yet exercised shall immediately lapse, regardless of whether such Awards have vested or not, (B) with respect to any Shares vested, exercised, transferred or paid to that Participant pursuant to such Awards, the Participant shall be required to transfer or pay back to the Company or its nominee (1) the equivalent number of Shares, (2) an amount in cash equal to the market value of such Shares, or (3) a combination of (1) and (2), and/or (C) with respect to any Shares held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Participant, those Shares shall no longer be held on trust for nor inure to the benefit of the Participant. Awards under the Plan shall be subject to the Clawback Policy, which may allow the Company to recover compensation that is granted, vested or paid to a person who served as an “Executive Officer” within the meaning of the Clawback Policy in the event of a required accounting restatement of the Company’s financial statement under the securities laws or other circumstances as described in the Clawback Policy.

ARTICLE 9

CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE

9.1 Adjustments. In the event of any dividend, share split, combination or exchange of Shares, amalgamation, arrangement or consolidation, spin-off, recapitalization or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of the Company’s assets to its shareholders, or any other change affecting the number of Shares or the share price of a Share, the Committee shall make such proportionate adjustments, if any, as the Committee in its discretion may deem appropriate to reflect such change with respect to (a) the aggregate number and/or type of shares that may be issued under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Section 3.1); (b) the terms and conditions of any outstanding Awards (including, without limitation, any applicable performance targets or criteria with respect thereto); and/or (c) the grant or exercise price per share for any outstanding Awards under the Plan.

9.2 Corporate Transactions. Except as may otherwise be provided in any Award Agreement or any other written agreement entered into by and between the Company and a Participant, if the Committee anticipates the occurrence, or upon the occurrence, of a Corporate Transaction, the Committee may, in its sole discretion subject to compliance with Applicable Laws, provide for (i) any and all Awards outstanding hereunder to terminate at a specific time in the future and shall give each Participant the right to exercise the vested portion of such Awards during a period of time as the Committee shall determine, or (ii) the purchase of any Award for an amount of cash equal to the amount that could have been attained upon the exercise of such Award (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of such date the Committee determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award, then such Award may be terminated by the Company without payment), or (iii) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Committee in its sole discretion or the assumption of or substitution of such Award by the successor or surviving corporation, or a Parent or Subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments to the Award, or (iv) payment of such Award in cash based on the value of Shares on the date of the Corporate Transaction plus reasonable interest on the Award through the date as determined by the Committee when such Award would otherwise be vested or have been paid in accordance with its original terms, if necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

 

17


9.3 Outstanding Awards – Other Changes. In the event of any other change in the capitalization of the Company or corporate change other than those specifically referred to in this Article 9, the Committee may, in its absolute discretion subject to compliance with Applicable Laws and this Plan, make such adjustments to Awards outstanding on the date on which such change occurs as the Committee may consider appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights.

9.4 No Other Rights. Except as expressly provided in the Plan, no Participant shall have any rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of Shares of any class, the payment of any dividend, any increase or decrease in the number of shares of any class or any dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company or any other corporation. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or pursuant to action of the Committee under the Plan, and no issuance by the Company of shares of any class, or securities convertible into shares of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of Shares subject to an Award or the grant or exercise/purchase price of any Award.

ARTICLE 10

ADMINISTRATION

10.1 Committee. The Plan shall be administered by the Board or a committee of one or more members of the Board (the “Committee”) to whom the Board shall delegate the authority to grant or amend Awards to Participants other than any of the Committee members, Independent Directors and executive officers of the Company. Reference to the Committee shall refer to the Board in absence of the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the full Board, acting by majority of its members in office, shall conduct the general administration of the Plan if required by Applicable Laws, and with respect to Awards granted to the Committee members, Independent Directors and executive officers of the Company and for purposes of such Awards the term “Committee” as used in the Plan shall be deemed to refer to the Board.

10.2 Action by the Committee. A majority of the Committee shall constitute a quorum. The acts of a majority of the members present at any meeting at which a quorum is present, and acts approved unanimously in writing all members of the Committee in lieu of a meeting, shall be deemed the acts of the Committee. Each member of the Committee is entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to that member by any officer or other employee of a Group Entity, the Company’s independent certified public accountants, or any executive compensation consultant or other professional retained by the Company to assist in the administration of the Plan.

10.3 Authority of the Committee. Subject to any specific designation in the Plan, the Committee has the exclusive power, authority and discretion to:

(a) designate Participants to receive Awards;

(b) determine the type or types of Awards to be granted to each Participant;

(e) determine whether, to what extent, and pursuant to what circumstances an Award may be settled in, or the exercise price of an Award may be paid in, cash, Shares, other Awards, or other property, or an Award may be canceled, forfeited, or surrendered;

10.4 Decisions Binding.

In the event of any disagreement or ambiguity, the decision of the Board shall prevail.

10.5 Amendment to Award. Any amendment or alteration to the terms of any Award the grant of which was subject to the approval of a particular body (such as the Board or any committee thereof, the independent directors, or the shareholders of the Company in general meeting) shall be subject to approval by that same body, provided that this requirement does not apply where the relevant alteration takes effect automatically under existing terms of the Plan and that the terms of the Awards so altered shall still comply with the relevant requirements of the Applicable Laws.

 

19


10.6 Administration by Trust. The Company may establish a Trust and appoint a Trustee to hold Shares and other trust property under the Trust for the purposes of implementing and administering the Plan. The administration and operation of the Trust shall be governed by the Trust Deed. Unless otherwise agreed between the Company and any Trustee, the Committee shall act on behalf of the Company to give instructions to and direct the Trustee. A Trustee shall not exercise any voting rights in respect of any unvested Shares held by it, unless otherwise required by law to vote in accordance with the beneficial owner’s direction and such a direction is given.

10.7 In the event that a Trust has been established to implement and administer the Plan, for the purposes and in lieu of satisfying the requirement to transfer Shares by the Company pursuant the to the vesting of the Awards, the Committee may at its discretion direct the Trustee, pursuant to the Trust Deed, to hold the relevant number of Shares on trust for the Participant until such time as the Committee directs the Trustee to:

ARTICLE 12

AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION

12.1 Amendment, Modification, and Termination. At any time and from time to time, the Board may terminate, amend or modify the Plan; provided, however, that to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws or stock exchange rules, the Company shall obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as required and the terms of the Plan so altered shall still comply with the relevant requirements of the Applicable Laws or stock exchange rules.

In the event that the Plan is terminated or expired while any Award remains outstanding (and, if applicable, unexercised), the provisions of this Plan shall remain in full force to the extent necessary to give effect to the vesting or exercise of any such Award.

12.2 Awards Previously Granted. Except with respect to amendments made pursuant to Article 12.1, no termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect in any material way any Award previously granted pursuant to the Plan without the prior written consent of the Participant. Awards granted during the life of the Plan and remaining unvested, unexercised and unexpired immediately prior to the termination of the operation of the Plan in accordance with Article 12.1 shall continue to be valid and exercisable in accordance with their terms of grant after the termination of the Plan.

ARTICLE 13

GENERAL PROVISIONS

13.1 No Rights to Awards. No Participant, employee, or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award pursuant to the Plan, and neither the Company nor the Committee is obligated to treat Participants, employees, and other persons uniformly.

13.2 No Shareholders Rights. No Award gives the Participant any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company unless and until Shares are in fact transferred to or caused to be held by such person in connection with such Award.

 

21


13.3 Taxes. No Shares shall be delivered under the Plan to any Participant until such Participant has made arrangements acceptable to the Committee for the satisfaction of any income and employment tax withholding obligations under Applicable Laws. The Company or any Subsidiary shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy all applicable taxes (including the Participant’s payroll tax obligations) required or permitted by Applicable Laws to be withheld with respect to any taxable event concerning a Participant arising as a result of this Plan. The Committee may in its discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement allow a Participant to elect to have the Company withhold Shares otherwise issuable under an Award (or allow the return of Shares) having a Fair Market Value equal to the sums required to be withheld. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the number of Shares which may be withheld with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of any Award (or which may be repurchased from the Participant of such Award after such Shares were acquired by the Participant from the Company) in order to satisfy any income and payroll tax liabilities applicable to the Participant with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of the Award shall, unless specifically approved by the Committee, be limited to the number of Shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding or repurchase equal to the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for the applicable income and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income.

13.4 No Right to Employment or Services. Nothing in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Service Recipient to terminate any Participant’s employment or services at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employment or services of any Service Recipient.

13.5 Unfunded Status of Awards. The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the relevant Group Entity.

13.6 Indemnification. To the extent allowable pursuant to Applicable Laws, each member of the Committee or of the Board shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such member in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action or failure to act pursuant to the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in satisfaction of judgment in such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her; provided he or she gives the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled pursuant to the Company’s Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

13.7 Relationship to Other Benefits. No payment pursuant to the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits pursuant to any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or other benefit plan of the any Group Entity except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in writing in such other plan or an agreement thereunder.

13.8 Expenses. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Group Entities.

13.9 Titles and Headings. The titles and headings of the Articles in the Plan are for convenience of reference only and, in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.

13.11 Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan, and any Award granted or awarded to any Participant who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by the Applicable Laws, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

13.12 Government and Other Regulations. The obligation of the Company to make payment of awards in Shares or otherwise shall be subject to all Applicable Laws, and to such approvals by government agencies as may be required. The Company shall be under no obligation to register any of the Shares paid pursuant to the Plan under the Securities Act or any other similar law in any applicable jurisdiction. If the Shares paid pursuant to the Plan may in certain circumstances be exempt from registration pursuant to the Securities Act or other Applicable Laws, the Company may restrict the transfer of such Shares in such manner as it deems advisable to ensure the availability of any such exemption.

13.13 Governing Law. The Plan and all Award Agreements shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the Cayman Islands.

13.14 Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy, difference or claim arising out of or relating to the Plan and all Award Agreements, including but not limited to (a) the existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination of the Plan and any of the Award Agreements or (b) any dispute regarding non-contractual obligations arising out of or relating to the Plan and any of the Award Agreements, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (the “HKIAC”) under the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules in force when the notice of arbitration is submitted. The law of this arbitration clause shall be Hong Kong law. The seat of arbitration shall be Hong Kong. The number of arbitrators shall be three. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English.

23


13.15 Section 409A. To the extent that the Committee determines that any Award granted under the Plan is or may become subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions required by Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, the Plan and the Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the U.S. Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretative guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulation or other guidance that may be issued after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that following the Effective Date the Committee determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance (including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after the Effective Date), the Committee may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Award agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the Award from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (b) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related U.S. Department of Treasury guidance.

13.16 Appendices. Subject to Article 12.1, the Committee may approve such supplements, amendments or appendices to the Plan as it may consider necessary or appropriate for purposes of compliance with Applicable Laws or otherwise and such supplements, amendments or appendices shall be considered a part of the Plan; provided, however, that no such supplements shall increase the Scheme Limit contained in Article 3.1 of the Plan without the approval of the Board.
