GRANT OF AWARDED SHARES UNDER THE SHARE AWARD SCHEME
Grant of Awarded Shares
Reference is made to the announcement of the Company in relation to the adoption of the Share Award Scheme dated 24 December 2013.
On 20 March 2019, the Board (including all independent non-executive Directors) based on the recommendation of the remuneration committee, resolved to grant a total of 245,000 Awarded Shares, which have been acquired by the Trustee from the open market by utilising the Company's internal resources provided to the Trustee, to the Share Award Grantees of the Group pursuant to the Share Award Scheme at nil consideration, subject to the acceptances by the Share Award Grantees.
Details of the Share Award Grantees are set out below:
Share Award Grantees | Number of Awarded Shares |
Independent third parties | 205,000 |
Connected persons | |
- Mr. Richard Chua Choon Kiat ("Mr. Chua") | |
(a director of IGG Singapore, a wholly-owned | |
subsidiary of the Company) | 10,000 |
- Mr. Shuo Wang ("Mr. Wang") (a director of | |
Fuzhou Tianji, a wholly-owned subsidiary | |
of the company) | 10,000 |
- Mr. Xiandong Liu ("Mr. Liu") (a director of | |
Fuzhou Tianji, a wholly-owned subsidiary | |
of the Company) | 5,000 |
- Mr. Chengfeng Luo ("Mr. Luo") (a substantial | |
shareholder of Fuzhou Tianmeng, a wholly-owned | |
subsidiary of the Company) | 10,000 |
- Mr. Deyang Zheng ("Mr. Zheng") (a substantial | |
shareholder of Fuzhou Tianmeng, a wholly-owned | |
subsidiary of the Company) | 5,000 |
Total | 245,000 |
Since Mr. Chua, Mr. Wang and Mr. Liu are directors of certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company; Mr. Luo and Mr. Zheng are substantial shareholders of Fuzhou Tianmeng, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company pursuant to the contractual arrangements as disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 28 December 2018, and are therefore connected persons of the Company, the grants of Awarded Shares to them constitute connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. As all of the applicable percentage ratios are below 0.1% and each of the grants of Awarded Shares is on normal commercial terms, such grants of Awarded Shares to them are fully exempt from reporting, announcement and shareholders' approval under Rule 14A.76(1) of the Listing Rules, respectively.
To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, save as disclosed above, all the other Share Award Grantees are independent third parties of the Company and its connected persons.
The 245,000 Awarded Shares to be granted to the Share Award Grantees represent approximately 0.02% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement. The 245,000 Awarded Shares represent the value of approximately HK$2.61 million, taking into account of the average closing price of HK$10.67 per Share as stated in the daily quotation sheets issued by the Stock Exchange for the five business days immediately preceding the Date of Grant.
The details of the Awarded Shares granted are as follows:
The Awarded Shares granted shall vest in the Share Award Grantees in accordance with the schedule below (for this purpose, the date or each such date on which the Awarded Shares are to vest being hereinafter referred to as a "Share Award Vesting Date"):
Share Award Vesting Date | Percentage of Awarded Shares to Vest |
On 20 March 2020 | 25% of the total number of Awarded Shares |
granted | |
On 20 March 2021 | 25% of the total number of Awarded Shares |
granted | |
On 20 March 2022 | 25% of the total number of Awarded Shares |
granted | |
On 20 March 2023 | 25% of the total number of Awarded Shares |
granted |
Once vested, at the request of the relevant Share Award Grantees, the Awarded Shares can be transferred to the relevant Share Award Grantees from the Trustee, or the Trustee can sell the vested Awarded Shares for them and subsequently transfer the income arising from such sales to the relevant Share Award Grantees.
