Incentive objects do not include independent directors, nor shareholders or actual controllers who individually or collectively hold more than 5% of the company's shares and their spouses, parents, and children.
This incentive plan is intended to be awarded to an employee from Macau, China for the first time. As the general manager of Baicheng Pharmaceutical (Macau) Co., Ltd., he is responsible for the company's business expansion in Macau and plays an important role in operation and management. Therefore, including this employee as an incentive object in this incentive plan is in line with the company's actual situation and development needs, and is necessary and reasonable.

Those who have been deemed unsuitable candidates by the stock exchange within the last 12 months;
Those who have been deemed unsuitable candidates by the China Securities Regulatory Commission and its dispatched offices within the last 12 months;

Other circumstances determined by the China Securities Regulatory Commission.
Among the above incentive objects, all incentive objects must have a labor relationship or employment relationship with the company (including subsidiaries) when the company grants the second type of restricted stock.
The incentive objects for the reserved grant portion will be determined within 12 months after the incentive plan is reviewed and approved by the shareholders' meeting. After the incentive objects are proposed by the board of directors, the remuneration and assessment committee of the board of directors issues clear opinions, and the lawyer expresses professional opinions and issues a legal opinion, the company will promptly disclose relevant information about the current incentive objects on the designated website as required. If the incentive target is not specified for more than 12 months, the reserved rights will become invalid.

The Remuneration and Appraisal Committee of the Board of Directors will review the list of incentive objects, fully listen to the public opinions, and disclose the explanation of the review and disclosure of the list of incentive objects by the Remuneration and Appraisal Committee of the Board of Directors 5 days before the company's shareholders meeting to review the incentive plan. The list of incentive targets adjusted by the company's board of directors should also be verified by the remuneration and assessment committee of the board of directors.

- vesting conditions for the second type of restricted stocks
In addition to meeting the above grant conditions, the restricted stocks that have been granted to the incentive objects must also meet the following conditions before they can vest:
(1) Performance appraisal requirements at the incentive target company level
The assessment years for the incentive objects of the first category II restricted stock granted under this incentive plan are the three fiscal years from 2026 to 2028, and the assessment years for the reserved incentive objects are the two fiscal years from 2027 to 2028. The assessment is once for each fiscal year. The performance assessment targets for each year are as shown in the following table:
Vesting period Assessment year Performance assessment target (meet any indicator)
- Based on the operating income in 2025, the company’s operating income growth rate in 2026 will not be lower than 4%, or
2026
Period 2) Taking the net profit in 2025 as the base, the company’s net profit growth rate in 2026 will not be less than 100%
- Based on the operating income in 2025, the company’s operating income growth rate in 2027 will not be lower than 19%, or

- Based on the operating income in 2025, the company’s operating income growth rate in 2028 will not be less than 34%, or
2028
Period 2) Based on the net profit in 2025, the company’s net profit growth rate in 2028 will not be less than 144%
If the reserved part of the second type of restricted stock is granted before the disclosure of the company's third quarter report in 2026, the annual performance assessment of the reserved type of restricted stock will be consistent with the first grant; if the reserved part of the second type restricted stock is granted after the disclosure of the company's 2026 third quarter report, the annual performance assessment targets of the reserved part of the second type restricted stock are as follows:
Vesting period Assessment year Performance assessment target (meet any indicator)
- Based on the operating income in 2025, the company’s operating income growth rate in 2027 is less than 19%, or
2027
One vesting period 2) Based on the net profit in 2025, the company’s net profit growth rate in 2027 will not be less than 122%
- Based on the operating income in 2025, the company’s operating income growth rate in 2028 is less than 34%, or
2028
Two vesting periods 2) Taking the net profit in 2025 as the base, the company’s net profit growth rate in 2028 will not be less than
144%
Note: 1. The above "net profit" refers to the audited net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies, but the value excluding the impact of share-based payment expenses of this and other employee incentive plans is used as the basis for calculation.
If the company fails to meet the above-mentioned performance assessment goals, all the second-class restricted stocks planned to vest in the current year corresponding to the incentive objects shall not be vested and will be invalidated by the company.
(2) Performance appraisal requirements at the individual level for incentive targets
According to the "Appraisal Management Measures" formulated by the company, the individual-level assessment of incentive targets is implemented in accordance with the company's internal performance appraisal related systems. The company confirms the individual-level vesting coefficient based on the individual assessment results (S) of the incentive objects in the corresponding assessment year. The individual assessment and evaluation results of the incentive objects are divided into three assessment levels. The corresponding attributable situations are as follows:
Personal assessment results S≥90 85≤S<90 S<85 Personal level attribution coefficient 100% 70% 0%
On the premise that the company's performance goals are achieved, the actual number of restricted stocks that can be vested by the individual incentive target in the current year = the number of individuals planned to vest in the current year × the individual-level vesting coefficient.
If the restricted stocks vested in the current plan of the incentive target cannot be vested or cannot be fully vested due to assessment reasons, they will be invalid and cannot be deferred to the next year.
In summary, the Exchange believes that the grant conditions and vesting conditions of the restricted stocks in this incentive plan comply with the provisions of Articles 7, 8, Article 9 (7), Article 10, Article 11, and Article 18 of the Administrative Measures and Article 8.4.6 of the Listing Rules.

In summary, the Exchange believes that the above contents of the "Incentive Plan (Draft)" are in compliance with the relevant provisions of the "Administrative Measures" and the "Listing Rules".
3. Legal procedures involved in this incentive plan

According to the "Administrative Measures" and other relevant laws and regulations, the company still needs to perform the following procedures to implement this incentive plan:
The company will publicize the names and positions of the incentive targets within the company through the company's website or other channels before convening the shareholders' meeting. The publicity period shall be no less than 10 days. The remuneration and assessment committee of the board of directors should review the equity incentive list and fully listen to public opinions.
