Yunfeng Financial Group Limited (雲鋒金融集團有限公司, stock code: 376) has announced a new Share Award Scheme, effective for a period of ten years from the adoption date in 2025. The scheme sets out to encourage shareholding, retain key personnel, and align interests between participants and existing shareholders.

Under the arrangement, employees, directors, related entity participants, and qualified service providers may be granted shares. The total number of new shares that can be issued pursuant to this scheme and other share schemes will not exceed 10% of the company’s outstanding shares (the Scheme Mandate Limit) as of the adoption date, with a 2% limit reserved for service providers (the Service Provider Sublimit). The scheme stipulates that grants are subject to a minimum vesting period of 12 months, though certain exceptions for employee participants may apply.

Participants must abide by acceptance requirements and specific vesting conditions; unvested awards may lapse in the event of termination for cause or failure to meet defined criteria. Various clauses in the scheme also set forth adjustment mechanisms in case of changes to the company’s share structure, as well as circumstances for early vesting related to corporate or exit events.

The Share Award Scheme awaits final confirmation at the upcoming extraordinary general meeting in 2025. It also provides procedures for termination and potential cancellation of granted but unvested awards, ensuring Yunfeng Financial Group retains flexibility in managing its equity incentive structures.
