OneForce Holdings Limited (Incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability) (Stock code: 1933) ADOPTION OF SHARE AWARD SCHEME The Board is pleased to announce that on the Adoption Date it has adopted the Scheme in which all Eligible Participants will be entitled to participate. The purposes of the Scheme are to (i) recognise and reward the contribution of certain Eligible Participants to the growth and development of the Group and to give incentives thereto in order to retain them for the continual operation and development of the Group; and (ii) to attract suitable personnel for further development of the Group. The aggregate number of the Shares underlying all grants made (excluding Awarded Shares that have been forfeited in accordance with the Scheme) during the term of the Scheme is limited to 3% of the issued share capital of the Company from time to time and no further grant of Award shall be made which will result in the aforesaid limit being exceeded without the Board s approval. The maximum number of Awarded Shares granted to a Selected Participant under the Scheme shall not exceed 1% of the issued share capital of the Company from time to time. The Scheme does not constitute a share option scheme within the meaning of Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules, and is a discretionary scheme of the Company. The Scheme shall be subject to the administration of the Board and the Trustee in accordance with the Scheme Rules and the Trust Deed. The Board is pleased to announce that it has adopted the Scheme on the Adoption Date. A summary of the principal Scheme Rules is set out below. PURPOSES The purposes of the Scheme are to (i) recognise and reward the contribution of certain Eligible Participants to the growth and development of the Group and to give incentives thereto in order to retain them for the continual operation and development of the Group; and (ii) to attract suitable personnel for further development of the Group. DURATION Subject to any early termination as may be determined by the Board pursuant to the Scheme Rules, the Scheme shall be valid and effective for a term of 10 years commencing on the Adoption Date. 1
ADMINISTRATION The Scheme shall be subject to the administration of the Board and the Trustee in accordance with the Scheme Rules and the Trust Deed. The decision of the Board with respect to any matter arising under the Scheme (including the interpretation of any provision) shall be final and binding. The Trustee shall hold the trust fund in the Trust in accordance with the terms of the Trust Deed. SCHEME LIMIT The aggregate number of the Shares underlying all grants made (excluding Awarded Shares that have been forfeited in accordance with the Scheme) during the term of the Scheme is limited to 3% of the issued share capital of the Company from time to time and no further grant of Award shall be made which will result in the aforesaid limit being exceeded without the Board s approval. The maximum number of Awarded Shares granted to a Selected Participant under the Scheme shall not exceed 1% of the issued share capital of the Company from time to time. RESTRICTIONS An Award or, as the case may be, any instruction of the Board to the Trustee to acquire Shares may not be made after a price sensitive event has occurred or a price sensitive matter has been the subject of a decision until such price sensitive information has been published in accordance with the Listing Rules. In particular, during the period preceding the publication of financial results in which the Directors are prohibited from dealing in Shares pursuant to the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed Issuers as prescribed by the Listing Rules ( Model Code ) or any corresponding code or securities dealing restrictions adopted by the Company and up to the date of publication of the relevant financial results, no Award may be made. Furthermore, the Board may not make an Award to an Eligible Participant who is a connected person during the periods or times in which the Directors are prohibited from dealing in Shares pursuant to the Model Code or any corresponding code or securities dealing restrictions adopted by the Company. OPERATION At any time during any particular financial year, the Board, after having regard to all relevant circumstances and affairs of the Group, may from time to time determine the amount of the Group Contribution to be allocated to the Trustee for purchasing and/or subscribing for Shares for the purpose of implementation of the Scheme and may from time to time cause to be paid to the Trustee from the Company s resources such amount of moneys which may be utilised by the Trustee to purchase and/or subscribe for Shares. Subject to the Scheme Rules, the Board may from time to time instruct the Trustee to purchase the Shares on the Stock Exchange or, if so agreed between the Trustee and the Company, to conduct off-market purchases from such person(s) on such terms and conditions as instructed by the Board and to hold them in trust for the benefit of the Selected Participants on and subject to the terms and conditions of the Scheme Rules and the Trust Deed. 2
Subject to the Scheme Rules, in the event that the Awarded Shares are to be allotted and issued as new Shares for the purpose of the Trust, the Board shall cause an amount equal to the total issue price of such new Shares to be allotted and issued be transferred from the Company s resources as soon as practicable as subscription monies for the new Shares and cause to issue and allot such new Shares to the Trustee at such issue price as shall be determined by the Board, which shall be held upon trust for the relevant Selected Participant subject to the terms and conditions of the Scheme Rules and the Trust Deed. AWARD OF AWARDED SHARES The Board shall, subject to and in accordance with the Scheme Rules, be entitled to make an Award to any of the Eligible Participant such number of issued Shares as the Board shall determine pursuant to the Scheme Rules. The eligibility of any of the Eligible Participants to an Award shall be determined by the Board from time to time on the basis of the Board s opinion as to his contribution and/or future contribution to the development and growth of the Group. The Board may from time to time, at its discretion, determine the Vesting Date and other subsequent date(s), if any, upon which the Awarded Shares held by the Trustee upon the Trust and which are referable to a Selected Participant shall vest in that Selected Participant. An Award shall be personal to the Selected Participant and shall not be transferable or assignable and no Selected Participant shall in any way sell, transfer, charge, mortgage, encumber or otherwise dispose of or create any security or adverse interest whatsoever in favour of any third party over or in relation to an Award or enter or purport to enter into any agreement to do so. Any breach of the foregoing by any Selected Participant shall entitle the Company to cancel the Award made to such Selected Participant. VESTING OF AWARDED SHARES Subject to relevant Scheme Rules, the Trustee shall transfer to and vest in any Selected Participant the legal and beneficial ownership of the Awarded Shares to which such Selected Participant is entitled under the relevant Award within ten (10) Business Days after the latest of (i) Vesting Date as specified in the Award Notice to which such Award relates; and (ii) where applicable, the date on which the condition(s) or performance target(s) (if any) to be attained by such Selected Participant have been attained and notified to the Trustee by the Board in writing. If the Vesting Date falls on any day on which the Directors are restricted from making any Award under the relevant Scheme Rules, the Vesting Date shall be postponed. The Trustee shall notify the Board in writing at least three (3) Business Days in advance of a proposed Vesting Date and the Board shall instruct the Trustee in writing at least two (2) Business Days in advance if such proposed Vesting Date has to be postponed, whereupon such proposed Vesting Date shall be postponed to such date as notified by the Board to the Trustee in writing. 3
For the purposes of vesting of the Award to an Excluded Participant, the Board may, instead of transferring to and vest in the legal and beneficial ownership of the Awarded Shares to such Excluded Participant, to the extent that, at the determination of the Board, it is not practicable for the Selected Participant to receive the Awarded Shares solely due to legal or regulatory restrictions with respect to the Excluded Participant s ability to receive the Awarded Shares or the Trustee s ability to give effect to any such transfer to the Excluded Participant, the Board will direct and procure the Trustee to sell, on-market at the prevailing market price, the number of Awarded Shares so vested in respect of the Excluded Participant and pay the Excluded Participant the proceeds in cash arising from such sale based on the Actual Selling Price of such Awarded Shares. Notwithstanding the above, in respect of a Selected Participant who, at any time prior to a Vesting Date, died, retired at his normal retirement date; or retired at an earlier retirement date, all the Awarded Shares of a Selected Participant shall be subject to the absolute discretion of the Board on, among other things, the timing of vesting, the entitlement of Awarded Shares and the transfer of entitled Awarded Shares to the legal personal representatives of the Selected Participant. ALTERATIONS OF THE SCHEME Rules of the Scheme may be altered by the prior sanction of a resolution passed by the Board together with the prior written consent of the Trustee, provided that no such alteration shall operate to affect adversely any rights of any Selected Participant in respect of his Awarded Shares which remain unvested. VOTING RIGHTS The Trustee shall not exercise the voting rights in respect of any Shares held by it under the Trust (including but not limited to the Awarded Shares, any bonus Shares and scrip Shares derived therefrom). The Board is of the view that not exercising the voting rights by the Trustee might help avoid potential misperception of the Company s influence over the Trustee s decision in casting the votes in respect of the Shares held under the Trust at general meetings. TERMINATION The Scheme shall terminate on the earlier of the expiry of the 10th anniversary date of the Adoption Date and such date of early termination as determined by the Board, provided that such termination shall not affect any subsisting rights of the Selected Participants. OTHER INFORMATION The Scheme does not constitute a share option scheme or an arrangement analogous to a share option scheme for the purpose of Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules. 4
