"Article 25 Determination of the fair value of Share Appreciation Rights

The Company selects the internationally accepted Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of the 4,861,400 Share Appreciation Rights granted under the Scheme. The value estimate herein is only a simulated valuation and will not serve as the basis for accounting treatment. The expected value of the Share Appreciation Rights will be re-evaluated based on such data as the actual share price as at the Date of Grant determined by the Board and the volatility of the share price. Based on the current market and data of the Company, the assumed values of relevant data used in the valuation of Share Appreciation Rights are as follows:

  • (1) Price of the underlying share: HKD 1.78 (being the assumed closing price at the Date of Grant)

  • (2) Expected duration: 3.5 4 years

  • (3) Historical volatility: 33.60 33.57 % (being the historical volatility of the Company's Shares over the past 4 3.5 years)

  • (4) Risk-free yield: 2.4256% (being the yield of Treasury bond with a maturity term of four three years).

(5)Dividend yield: 0

According to the above data, the expected value of each Share Appreciation Right granted under the Scheme is estimated to be HKD0.49 HKD0.52, and the total expected value of the 4,861,400 Share Appreciation Rights granted under the Scheme is HKD2,382,100 HKD2,527,900."

Assuming the Date of Grant falls within December 2020 June 2021 and the number of exercisable Share Appreciation Rights remains unchanged, the amortisation of the expenses of Share Appreciation Rights over the next few years is as follows:
