On February 6, 2026 (United States time), Yum China Holdings, Inc. (9987) granted equity awards under its 2022 Long Term Incentive Plan. A total of 0.19 million Stock Appreciation Rights were issued at an exercise price of US$57.95 per right, alongside 0.48 million Restricted Share Units and 0.31 million Performance Share Units.

The SARs have a ten-year exercise period from the grant date and generally vest in four equal annual installments.

The PSUs are contingent on continued service and meeting goals tied to relative total shareholder return, system sales, return on invested capital, and select ESG initiatives during a performance period ending December 31, 2028.

On the same date, 86 shares were granted to a newly appointed committee member as part of director retainers. The closing price of Yum China’s shares on the grant date was US$57.95 on the New York Stock Exchange, with the preceding Hong Kong Stock Exchange trading day’s closing at HK$430.60.
