Share Options<br />
(a)<br />
<strong>Swissco</strong> Share Option Scheme<br />
The <strong>Swissco</strong> Share Option Scheme (the “Scheme”) was approved by the members of the Company<br />
at an Extraordinary General Meeting on 21 October 2004. The purpose of the Scheme is to provide<br />
an opportunity for employees, executive directors and non-executive directors who have<br />
contributed to the growth and development of the Group to participate in the equity of the Company<br />
as well as to motivate to optimise their performance.<br />
The aggregate number of Scheme shares issuable under the Scheme shall not exceed 15% of the<br />
issued shares of the Company (“Scheme Limit”). The number of shares comprised in any options<br />
to be offered to a participant in the Scheme shall be determined at the absolute discretion of the<br />
Remuneration Committee, who shall take into account criteria such as the rank, the past<br />
performance, years of service, potential for future development and contribution of the participant.<br />
The Scheme does not allow options to be granted at a discount to a subscriber of the Scheme<br />
shares.<br />
