PROPOSED ADOPTION OF SUBSIDIARY SHARE OPTION SCHEMES

AND

NOTICE OF EGM

INTRODUCTION

It is proposed that subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the EGM, the Subsidiary Share Option Schemes as disclosed in this circular be adopted.

- 4 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The purpose of this circular is (i) to provide you with information on the Subsidiary Share Option Schemes; and (ii) to give you the notice of the EGM at which resolutions will be proposed to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the adoption of the Subsidiary Share Option Schemes.

ADOPTION OF SUBSIDIARY SHARE OPTION SCHEMES

The Company proposes to adopt the following share option schemes for the subsidiaries of the Company set out below:

  1. The First Subsidiary Scheme

The First Subsidiary is a 61.70% owned subsidiary of the Company, the shares of which were listed on the main board of the Stock Exchange (stock code: 6666). The First Subsidiary is one of the largest and fastest-growing integrated property management service enterprise in the PRC. It is an all-round property manager and manages a diverse portfolio of properties (including mid-to-high-end residential properties, office buildings and commercial properties), and has been contracted to manage other types of properties (such as theme parks, industrial parks, healthcare complexes, themed towns and schools, etc.). The First Subsidiary Group provides property management services, non-property owners and/or community value-added services in over 280 cities in 22 provinces, five autonomous regions in the PRC, serving over two million households.

The First Subsidiary does not have in place a share option scheme. It is proposed that the First Subsidiary will adopt a share option scheme in compliance with the requirements of Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules to provide the First Subsidiary with the flexibility of granting share options to the grantees as incentives or rewards for their contribution or potential contribution to the First Subsidiary.

Conditions

The adoption of the First Subsidiary Scheme is conditional upon:

  1. the approval of the adoption of the First Subsidiary Scheme by the Shareholders at the EGM;
  2. the approval of the adoption of the First Subsidiary Scheme by the shareholders of the First Subsidiary at a general meeting; and
  3. the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting approval for the listing of, and permission to trade in, the First Subsidiary Shares that may fall to be allotted and issued pursuant to the exercise of the right of the options under the First Subsidiary Scheme.

- 5 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Purpose

The purpose of the First Subsidiary Scheme is to enable the First Subsidiary to grant options to selected eligible participants as incentives or rewards for their contribution or potential contribution to the First Subsidiary. The Directors consider that the First Subsidiary Scheme will provide the eligible participants with the opportunity to acquire proprietary interests in the First Subsidiary and will encourage such eligible participants to work towards enhancing the value of the First Subsidiary and its shares for the benefit of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Scheme limit

Subject to the conditions to the First Subsidiary Scheme being satisfied, the First Subsidiary Board will have the right to grant to the eligible participants options to subscribe for First Subsidiary Shares up to the scheme limit as prescribed by the Listing Rules unless approval from the Shareholders in general meeting has been obtained to renew the scheme limit such that the total number of the First Subsidiary Shares in respect of which options may be granted by the First Subsidiary Board under the First Subsidiary Scheme and any other share option schemes of the First Subsidiary in issue shall not exceed 10% of the total number of the First Subsidiary Shares in issue as at the date of approval of the refreshed limit.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the First Subsidiary Scheme, the maximum number of First Subsidiary Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the First Subsidiary Scheme and any other share option schemes of the First Subsidiary shall not exceed 30% of the total number of First Subsidiary Shares in issue from time to time.

The First Subsidiary will apply to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to trade in, the First Subsidiary Shares that may be allotted and issued upon the exercise of the options under the First Subsidiary Scheme.

The grant of the options under First Subsidiary Scheme and the subsequent exercise of the options by the grantees will constitute a deemed disposal of the Company's interests in the First Subsidiary. The Company will comply with the requirements of Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules should the grant of the options under the First Subsidiary Scheme constitute a notifiable transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

Principal terms

A summary of the principal terms of the First Subsidiary Scheme is set out in the Appendix to this circular.

Conditions

The adoption of the Second Subsidiary Scheme is conditional upon, among others, the approval of the adoption of the Second Subsidiary Scheme by the Shareholders at the EGM.

Scheme limit

Subject to the conditions to the Second Subsidiary Scheme being satisfied, the Second Subsidiary Board will have the right to grant to the eligible participants options to subscribe for Second Subsidiary Shares up to the scheme limit as prescribed by the Listing Rules unless approval from the shareholders of the Second Subsidiary in general meeting has been obtained to renew the scheme limit such that the total number of the Second Subsidiary Shares in respect of which options may be granted by the Second Subsidiary Board under the Second Subsidiary Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Second Subsidiary in issue shall not exceed 10% of the total number of the Second Subsidiary Shares in issue as at the date of approval of the refreshed limit.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Second Subsidiary Scheme, the maximum number of Second Subsidiary Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the Second Subsidiary Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Second Subsidiary shall not exceed 30% of the total number of Second Subsidiary Shares in issue from time to time.

The grant of the options under Second Subsidiary Scheme and the subsequent exercise of the options by the grantees will constitute a deemed disposal of the Company's interests in the Second Subsidiary.

- 7 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

A summary of the principal terms of the Second Subsidiary Scheme is set out in the Appendix to this circular.

  1. The Third Subsidiary Scheme

FCB is an internet technology service group focusing on real estate and car transactions.

The Third Subsidiary does not have in place a share option scheme.

- 8 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The grant of the options under Third Subsidiary Scheme and the subsequent exercise of the options by the grantees will constitute a deemed disposal of the Company's interests in the Third Subsidiary. The Company will comply with the requirements of Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules should the grant of the options under the Third Subsidiary Scheme constitute a notifiable transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

Principal terms

A summary of the principal terms of the Third Subsidiary Scheme is set out in the Appendix to this circular.

  1. PRC technology subsidiary schemes

The Company also proposes to adopt three separate schemes for the Fourth Subsidiary, the Fifth Subsidiary and the Sixth Subsidiary, all being companies established in the PRC. Each of these subsidiaries is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and is involved in technology- related business.

The Fourth Subsidiary is involved in the development of a national ''charging network'' for new energy vehicles. By integrating the charging resources of major mainstream operators and small and medium-sized operators across the country, an industry-leading smart charging platform for new energy vehicles is being created to effectively solve the problems of ''difficulty in finding charging stations, difficult charging, and expensive charging'' for new energy vehicle owners. At present, the charging network of the Fourth Subsidiary covers more than 200,000 stations, and the Fourth Subsidiary is continuing to promote in-depth interconnection with national charging operator platforms to create a national ''charging network'' in developing a green and low-carbon new energy vehicle charging service ecology.

The Fifth Subsidiary is a leading provider of smart home and IoT solutions. With the vision of ''injecting technology into life'', through innovative technology, products and design, a smart life service platform is being developed using smart home equipment, big data and value-added services as the core, in bringing intelligent, technology, quality and comfortable living to the people.

The Sixth Subsidiary, adhering to the mission of ''injecting technology into life'', applies the Internet + Internet of Things to provide enterprises with integrated smart community solutions, to help them to carry out digital upgrades. Through AI, big data, and cloud technology in creating a smart community ecosystem to improve corporate management efficiency, efficient community services, and bring satisfaction to the users.

Each of the Technology Subsidiaries does not have in place a share option scheme. As it is common among hi-tech companies to offer their staff and personnel share options in order to attract and retain talents, it is proposed that each of the Technology Subsidiaries will adopt a share option scheme to provide such company with the flexibility of granting share options to the grantees as incentives or rewards for their contribution or potential contribution to the company.

- 9 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The adoption of each of the option scheme for the Technology Subsidiaries is conditional upon the approval of the adoption of the relevant scheme by the Shareholders at the EGM, respectively.

The purpose of the schemes is to enable each of the Technology Subsidiaries to grant options to selected grantees as incentives or rewards for their contribution or potential contribution to the company. The Directors consider that each of the schemes will provide the respective grantees with the opportunity to acquire proprietary interests in the company and will encourage such grantees to work towards enhancing the value of the company and its shares for the benefit of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Subject to the adoption of the schemes by the Shareholders at the EGM, each of the Technology Subsidiaries will set aside 10% of its existing share capital to their respective shareholding platform to be set up. Each of the relevant board of the Technology Subsidiaries will be granted the respective authority to grant to the grantees of the subsidiary options to subscribe for shares up to the their respective scheme limit, unless approval from the Shareholders in general meeting has been obtained to renew such limits.

The shareholding platforms of the Technology Subsidiaries will hold the respective shares under the schemes. Subject to the satisfaction of the vesting period and other conditions to the relevant options, the relevant grantee may exercise the relevant options held and have such number of shares in the Technology Subsidiaries held under the relevant shareholding platform transferred to him/her.

The grant of the options under the respective schemes and the subsequent exercise of the options by the grantees will constitute a deemed disposal of the Company's interests in the relevant Technology Subsidiaries. As the relevant scheme limit under each of the schemes is limited to 10% of the equity capital of the relevant Technology Subsidiary and that each of the Technology Subsidiaries is an insignificant subsidiary of the Company, the grant of the options under the schemes and the exercise of the options thereof will be within the de minimis threshold under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and will not constitute a notifiable transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

A summary of the principal terms of each of the option schemes to be adopted by the Technology Subsidiaries is set out in the Appendix to this circular.

Others

As at the Latest Practicable Date, save for the First Subsidiary, the shares of which are listed on the main board of the Stock Exchange, none of the shares of the Second Subsidiary, the Third Subsidiary or the Technology Subsidiaries are listed on any securities exchange in Hong Kong, the PRC or elsewhere. Should the shares of any of these subsidiaries are listed on any securities exchange, their share option schemes will be subject to the more onerous requirements between Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules and the requirements of the relevant securities exchange on which the shares of the relevant subsidiary are listed.

- 10 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no options under any of the schemes disclosed in this circular have been granted and thus the Company considers that it would not be appropriate to disclose in this circular the value of the options that may be granted under any of the proposed schemes as if they have been granted as at the Latest Practicable Date, as various determining factors for the calculation of such value cannot be reasonably ascertained at this stage. It would not be meaningful and may even be misleading to Shareholders if the value of the options is calculated based on a set of speculative assumptions. However, the Company will disclose the value of any options granted under such schemes during a financial year or a particular period in its annual report and interim report based on the Binomial Options Pricing Model or a generally accepted comparable methodology.

EGM

A notice convening the EGM is set out on pages 52 to 53 of this circular and a form of proxy for the EGM is enclosed. Whether or not you intend to attend the EGM, you are requested to complete the form of proxy and return it to the Company's share registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong in accordance with the instructions printed thereon not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for holding the EGM. The completion and delivery of a form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting at the meeting in person.

VOTING BY POLL

Pursuant to the Listing Rules, any vote of Shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll. An announcement on the poll vote results will be published by the Company after the EGM in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) and Rule 17.02(1)(a) of the Listing Rules.

No Shareholder has a material interest in the proposed adoption of the subsidiary share option schemes and therefore no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting at the EGM in respect of the resolutions proposed to approve the adoption of the Subsidiary Share Option Schemes.

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

This circular, for which the Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief, the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.

- 11 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

RECOMMENDATION

The Board considers that the adoption of the Subsidiary Share Option Schemes is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Board recommends all Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at the EGM to approve the adoption of the Subsidiary Share Option Schemes.

DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION

A copy of each of the Subsidiary Share Option Schemes is available for inspection at the principal place of business of the Company in Hong Kong at 23rd Floor, China Evergrande Centre, 38 Gloucester Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong during normal business hours on any business day from the date of this circular up to and including the date of the EGM.

Yours faithfully,

By order of the Board

China Evergrande Group

APPENDIX

PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE SUBSIDIARY

SHARE OPTION SCHEMES

The following is a summary of the principal terms of the First Subsidiary Scheme proposed to be approved at the EGM.

  1. Purpose

The First Subsidiary Scheme is a share incentive scheme and is established to recognise and acknowledge the contributions the eligible participants had or may have made to the First Subsidiary. The First Subsidiary Scheme will provide the eligible participants an opportunity to have a personal stake in the First Subsidiary with the view to motivate the eligible participants to optimise their performance efficiency for the benefit of the First Subsidiary.

  1. Who may join

The First Subsidiary Board may, at its discretion, offer to grant an option to subscribe for such number of new First Subsidiary Shares as the First Subsidiary Board may determine at an exercise price determined in accordance with paragraph (e) below to:

  1. any full time or part-time employees, executives, officers or directors (including executive, non-executive and independent non-executive directors) of the First Subsidiary Group and of any associated corporation of the First Subsidiary; and
  2. any advisers, consultants, agents, suppliers or joint venture partners who, in the sole opinion of the First Subsidiary Board, will contribute or have contributed to the First Subsidiary Group.

Upon acceptance of the option, the grantee shall pay HK$1.00 to the First Subsidiary by way of consideration. Any offer to grant an option to subscribe for First Subsidiary Shares may be accepted in respect of less than the number of First Subsidiary Shares for which it is offered. To the extent that the offer to grant an option is not accepted by any prescribed acceptance date, it shall be deemed to have been irrevocably declined.

  1. Maximum number of shares

The maximum number of First Subsidiary Shares in respect of which options may be granted under the First Subsidiary Scheme and under any other share option schemes of the First Subsidiary must not in aggregate exceed 10% of the total number of First Subsidiary Shares in issue at the time the First Subsidiary Scheme is adopted by the Shareholders. Based on 10,810,811,000 First Subsidiary Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital of the First Subsidiary from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of the EGM, the maximum number of First Subsidiary Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the options that may be granted under the First Subsidiary Scheme is 1,081,081,100 First Subsidiary Shares, being 10% of the issued share capital of the First Subsidiary as at the date of the adoption of the First Subsidiary Scheme.

- 13 -

APPENDIX

PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE SUBSIDIARY

SHARE OPTION SCHEMES

The Company may seek approval from the Shareholders in general meeting for ''refreshing'' the 10% limit under the First Subsidiary Scheme. However, the total number of securities which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under all of the schemes of the First Subsidiary under the limit as ''refreshed'' must not exceed 10% of the relevant class of securities in issue as at the date of approval of the limit. Options previously granted (including those outstanding, cancelled, lapsed in accordance with the First Subsidiary Scheme or exercised options) will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the limit as ''refreshed''.

SHARE OPTION SCHEMES

The following is a summary of the principal terms of the Second Subsidiary Scheme proposed to be approved at the EGM.

  1. Purpose

The Second Subsidiary Scheme is a share incentive scheme and is established to recognise and acknowledge the contributions the eligible participants had or may have made to the Second Subsidiary. The Second Subsidiary Scheme will provide the eligible participants an opportunity to have a personal stake in the Second Subsidiary with the view to motivate the eligible participants to optimise their performance efficiency for the benefit of the Second Subsidiary.

  2. any advisers, consultants, agents, suppliers or joint venture partners who, in the sole opinion of the Second Subsidiary Board, will contribute or have contributed to the Second Subsidiary Group.

Upon acceptance of the option, the grantee shall pay HK$1.00 to the Second Subsidiary by way of consideration. Any offer to grant an option to subscribe for Second Subsidiary Shares may be accepted in respect of less than the number of Second Subsidiary Shares for which it is offered. To the extent that the offer to grant an option is not accepted by any prescribed acceptance date, it shall be deemed to have been irrevocably declined.

Based on 10,000 Second Subsidiary Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that there is no change to the issued share capital of the Second Subsidiary from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of the EGM, the maximum number of Second Subsidiary Shares that may be granted under the Second Subsidiary Scheme is 1,000 Second Subsidiary Shares, being 10% of the issued share capital of the Second Subsidiary as at the date of the adoption of the Second Subsidiary Scheme.

Options previously granted (including those outstanding, cancelled, lapsed in accordance with the Second Subsidiary Scheme or exercised options) will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the limit as ''refreshed''.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Second Subsidiary Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the Second Subsidiary Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Second Subsidiary at any time shall not exceed 30% of the Second Subsidiary Shares in issue from time to time.

PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE SUBSIDIARY

SHARE OPTION SCHEMES

The following is a summary of the principal terms of the Fourth Subsidiary Scheme proposed to be approved at the EGM.

  1. Purpose

The Fourth Subsidiary Scheme is a share incentive scheme and is established to recognise and acknowledge the contributions the core management and other personnel of the Fourth Subsidiary had or may have made to the Fourth Subsidiary. The Fourth Subsidiary Scheme will provide the eligible participants an opportunity to have a personal stake in the Fourth Subsidiary with the view to motivate the grantees to optimise their performance efficiency for the benefit of the Fourth Subsidiary.

  1. Who may join

The Fourth Subsidiary Board may, at its discretion, offer to grant an option to the core management and other personnel of the Fourth Subsidiary to subscribe for such number of Fourth Subsidiary Shares as the Fourth Subsidiary Board may determine at an exercise price determined in accordance with paragraph (e) below.

The grantee shall not be required to pay the Fourth Subsidiary any consideration for the acceptance of the option. Any offer to grant an option to subscribe for Fourth Subsidiary Shares may be accepted in respect of less than the number of Fourth Subsidiary Shares for which it is offered. To the extent that the offer to grant an option is not accepted by any prescribed acceptance date, it shall be deemed to have been irrevocably declined.

  1. Maximum number of shares

The maximum number of Fourth Subsidiary Shares in respect of which options may be granted under the Fourth Subsidiary Option Scheme and under any other share option schemes of the Fourth Subsidiary must not in aggregate exceed 10% of the total number of Fourth Subsidiary Shares in issue at the time the Fourth Subsidiary Scheme is adopted by the Shareholders. Based on the registered capital of the Fourth Subsidiary of RMB60,000,000 as at the Latest Practicable Date and 10,000,000,000 Fourth Subsidiary Shares in issue and assuming that there is no change to the issued share capital of the Fourth Subsidiary from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of the EGM, the maximum number of Fourth Subsidiary Shares that may be granted under the Fourth Subsidiary Scheme is 1,000,000,000 Fourth Subsidiary Shares, being 10% of the registered capital of the Fourth Subsidiary as at the date of the adoption of the Fourth Subsidiary Scheme.

The Company may seek approval from the Shareholders in general meeting for ''refreshing'' the 10% limit under the Fourth Subsidiary Scheme. However, the total number of securities which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under all of the schemes of the Fourth Subsidiary under the limit as ''refreshed'' must not exceed 10% of the relevant class of securities in

In particular, the subscription price of any options granted during the period commencing six months before the lodgement of the listing application of the Fourth Subsidiary up to its listing date shall be adjusted to not lower than the new issue price of the shares.

  1. Restrictions on the time of grant of options

If the relevant inside information of the Company is related to the Fourth Subsidiary and/or the Company, no offer shall be made after such inside information of the Company has come to the knowledge of the Company and/or the Fourth Subsidiary, until such information has been announced pursuant to the requirements of the Listing Rules and the SFO. In particular, during the period commencing one month immediately preceding the earlier of (i) the date of the meeting of the board of directors of the Company (as such is first notified by the Company to the Stock Exchange in accordance with the Listing Rules) for the approval of the Company's results for any year, half-year, quarterly or any other interim period (whether or not required under the Listing Rules); (ii) the deadline for the Company to publish an announcement of its results for any year or half-year under the Listing Rules, or quarterly or any other interim period (whether or not required under the Listing Rules) and ending on the date of actual publication of the result announcement, no option may be granted. The period during which no option may be granted will cover any period of delay in the publication of results announcement.

APPENDIX

PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE SUBSIDIARY

SHARE OPTION SCHEMES

The following is a summary of the principal terms of the Sixth Subsidiary Scheme proposed to be approved at the EGM.

  1. Purpose

The Sixth Subsidiary Scheme is a share incentive scheme and is established to recognise and acknowledge the contributions the core management and other personnel of the Sixth Subsidiary had or may have made to the Sixth Subsidiary. The Sixth Subsidiary Scheme will provide the eligible participants an opportunity to have a personal stake in the Sixth Subsidiary with the view to motivate the grantees to optimise their performance efficiency for the benefit of the Sixth Subsidiary.

  1. Who may join

The Sixth Subsidiary Board may, at its discretion, offer to grant an option to the core management and other personnel of the Sixth Subsidiary to subscribe for such number of Sixth Subsidiary Shares as the Sixth Subsidiary Board may determine at an exercise price determined in accordance with paragraph (e) below.

The grantee shall not be required to pay the Sixth Subsidiary any consideration for the acceptance of the option. Any offer to grant an option to subscribe for Sixth Subsidiary Shares may be accepted in respect of less than the number of Sixth Subsidiary Shares for which it is offered. To the extent that the offer to grant an option is not accepted by any prescribed acceptance date, it shall be deemed to have been irrevocably declined.

  1. Maximum number of shares

The maximum number of Sixth Subsidiary Shares in respect of which options may be granted under the Sixth Subsidiary Scheme and under any other share option schemes of the Sixth Subsidiary must not in aggregate exceed 10% of the total number of Sixth Subsidiary Shares in issue at the time the Sixth Subsidiary Scheme is adopted by the Shareholders. Based on the registered capital of the Sixth Subsidiary of RMB100,000,000 as at the Latest Practicable Date and 10,000,000,000 Sixth Subsidiary Shares in issue and assuming that there is no change to the issued share capital of the Sixth Subsidiary from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of the EGM, the maximum number of Sixth Subsidiary Shares that may be granted under the Sixth Subsidiary Scheme is 1,000,000,000 Sixth Subsidiary Shares, being 10% of the registered capital of the Sixth Subsidiary as at the date of the adoption of the Sixth Subsidiary Scheme.

The Company may seek approval from the Shareholders in general meeting for ''refreshing'' the 10% limit under the Sixth Subsidiary Scheme. However, the total number of securities which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under all of the schemes of the Sixth Subsidiary under the limit as ''refreshed'' must not exceed 10% of the relevant class of securities in

SHARE OPTION SCHEMES

issue as at the date of approval of the limit. Options previously granted (including those outstanding, cancelled, lapsed in accordance with the Sixth Subsidiary Scheme or exercised options) will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the limit as ''refreshed''.

  1. Maximum number of options to any one individual

Subject to the compliance with the Listing Rules and relevant laws and regulations, the Sixth Subsidiary Board may determine the number of share options that may be granted to a grantee in any 12-month period.

  1. Price of shares

Subject to the compliance with the requirements of the Listing Rules, the subscription price of a Sixth Subsidiary Share in respect of any particular option granted under the Sixth Subsidiary Scheme shall be such price as the Sixth Subsidiary Board in its absolute discretion shall determine.

In the event that the shares of the Sixth Subsidiary become listed, then the subscription price shall be subject to alteration in accordance with relevant requirements under note (2) to Rule 17.03(9) of the Listing Rules and any other applicable legal and regulatory requirements of the stock exchange on where it is listed. In particular, the subscription price of any options granted during the period commencing six months before the lodgement of the listing application of the Sixth Subsidiary up to its listing date shall be adjusted to not lower than the new issue price of the shares.

  1. Restrictions on the time of grant of options

If the relevant inside information of the Company is related to the Sixth Subsidiary and/or the Company, no offer shall be made after such inside information of the Company has come to the knowledge of the Company and/or the Sixth Subsidiary, until such information has been announced pursuant to the requirements of the Listing Rules and the SFO. In particular, during the period commencing one month immediately preceding the earlier of (i) the date of the meeting of the board of directors of the Company (as such is first notified by the Company to the Stock Exchange in accordance with the Listing Rules) for the approval of the Company's results for any year, half- year, quarterly or any other interim period (whether or not required under the Listing Rules); (ii) the deadline for the Company to publish an announcement of its results for any year or half-year under the Listing Rules, or quarterly or any other interim period (whether or not required under the Listing Rules) and ending on the date of actual publication of the result announcement, no option may be granted. The period during which no option may be granted will cover any period of delay in the publication of results announcement. The above requirements with respect to the grant of options prior to publication of the results announcement shall also apply to the Sixth Subsidiary if the Sixth Subsidiary Shares become listed.
