Bitfire Group Holdings Limited (Bitfire Group) has approved a new equity incentive on 16 April 2026, granting 0.66 million ordinary shares—equivalent to 0.09% of total issued shares—to two employee participants under its Share Award Scheme.

The awards carry a nil purchase price and will be settled through the issue of new shares. Based on the HKD 2.33 closing price on the grant date, the notional market value of the award pool is approximately HKD 1.54 million.

Vesting will occur in three equal annual tranches, contingent upon individual performance targets set by the board. A claw-back mechanism, as outlined in the scheme rules (circular dated 30 September 2025), applies to the awards.

Post-grant, 71.72 million shares remain available for future issuances under the company’s Share Award Scheme and Share Option Scheme, including 6.02 million shares earmarked for potential grants to service providers.

The board stated that the grant aims to align employee and shareholder interests and support the retention of key talent. None of the grantees are directors, chief executives, substantial shareholders, related-entity participants, or service providers, and no shareholder approval is required for the grant.
