Anped Sporting Goods Co., Ltd. announced on 24 May 2024 that under the 2018 Share Award Scheme (Revised 2023), it has awarded approximately 364 million shares of bonus shares to 237 employees, representing approximately 0.13% of the Company's issued shares. Of these, Mr. Pei Ming Wai, the Executive Director, was granted 100,000 shares. This batch of bonus shares will not cause the company to issue new shares or to have a dilutive effect on existing shareholders' holdings. The bonus shares will be divided into two batches, 30% on 1 May 2025 and the remaining 70% on 1 May 2027. The Board of Directors and the Remuneration Committee believe that this will help to recognize employees' contributions, retain talent, and motivate greater contributions in the future, in the overall interests of the Company and its shareholders. Mr. Pei, as Executive Director, granted his bonus shares in a connected transaction, but is exempt from declaration, announcement and approval by independent shareholders under the Listing Rules.
