The maximum aggregate number of Class Z Ordinary Shares, which may be issued pursuant to all awards under the 2018 Plan as at December 31, 202

As at the date on which the voluntary conversion of its secondary listing status to primary listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange becomes effective , the Group subsequently amended its 2018 Plan, under which the maximum aggregate number of Class Z ordinary shares may be issued pursuant to all awards is 30,673,710 Class Z ordinary shares, representing 10% of the total number of issued Class Z ordinary shares, which permits the grant of restricted share units (“RSUs”) of the Company to relevant directors, officers, other employees and consultants of the Group.
In June 2024, the Group adopted its Second Amended and Restated 2018 Share Incentive Plan (the “Restated 2018 Plan”) to provide additional incentives to employee participants, related entity participants and service provider participants and promote the success of its business. The maximum aggregate number of Class Z Ordinary Shares, which may be issued pursuant to all awards under the 2018 Plan as at December 31, 202
5
 is 41,413,503 shares, and within the Scheme Limit, the maximum number of Class Z Ordinary Shares which may be issued pursuant to all awards to be granted to service provider participants under the Restated 2018 Plan is 2,070,675.
In May 2024, the Group adopted its 2024 Share Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”) to provide additional incentives to employee participants, related entity participants and consultants and promote the success of its business.
