(a)
2023 Share Incentive Plan

In June 2023, the Company adopted the 2023 Share Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”), under which the Company reserves 150,000,000 shares to motivate directors and employees of the Group. Shares granted to an employee under the 2023 Plan are generally subject to only service condition.

On August 15, 2023, the Company granted 150,000,000 unvested shares to its directors, executive officers and certain employees under the 2023 Plan. All the unvested shares vested immediately on the date of grant. Based on the fair value per share at grant date, the Company recognized US$7.5 million of share-based compensation expense related to these shares in August 2023.

The fair value of ordinary shares as at grant date is US$0.05 per share. In determining the fair value of ordinary shares, the Company applied the income approach based on its discounted future cash flow using its best estimate as at the grant date. The major assumptions used in calculating include discount rate, comparable companies, discount for lack of marketability and revenue growth rates.

Effective as of March 9, 2026, the Company terminated the 2023 Plan and ceased making awards thereunder. All awards previously granted under the 2023 Plan remain outstanding and continue to be governed by its terms and applicable award agreements.

(b)
2023 Share Incentive Plan II

On December 23, 2024, the Company adopted the 2023 Share Incentive Plan II (the “2023 Plan II”), under which the Company reserves 445,198,950 shares to motivate directors, employees and non-employees. Pursuant to the 2023 Plan II, restricted shares units were granted to its directors, certain employees and non-employee consultants of the Group as approved by the administrator appointed by the board of directors. Shares granted under the 2023 Plan II are generally subject to only service condition but with multiple vesting schedules.

The fair value of each restricted share units granted is estimated based on the fair market value of the underlying ordinary shares of the Company on the date of grant.
