2、 Independent opinions on the scientificity and rationality of the assessment indicators set in the restricted stock incentive plan in 2022
The appraisal indicators of the company’s restricted stock incentive plan in 2022 are divided into two levels: company level performance appraisal and individual level performance appraisal.
The performance indicators at the company level are net profit growth rate and gross profit margin.

After reasonable prediction and considering the incentive effect of the incentive plan, the company sets the performance evaluation target for the incentive plan as taking the net profit in 2021 as the base, the net profit growth rate from 2022 to 2026 shall not be less than 20%, 44%, 72%, 107% and 148% respectively, and the gross profit margin from 2022 to 2026 shall not be less than 1%, 2%, 3%, 3.5% and 4% respectively. The above performance objectives are set based on the company’s historical performance, industry development, market competition and the company’s future development plan. The assessment indicators set in this incentive plan are challenging, which will help to improve the company’s competitiveness and mobilize the enthusiasm of employees, so as to ensure the realization of the company’s future development strategy and business objectives, Bring more efficient and lasting returns to shareholders.
In addition to the performance appraisal at the company level, the company has set up a strict performance appraisal system for all incentive objects, which can make a more accurate and comprehensive comprehensive evaluation on the work performance of incentive objects. According to the performance evaluation results of the incentive object in the previous year, the company will determine whether the individual incentive object meets the conditions for lifting the sales restriction, and set a differentiated proportion for the evaluation results of different levels, so as to truly achieve the effect of encouraging excellence and value creation.
To sum up, the assessment system of the company’s equity incentive plan is comprehensive, comprehensive and operable, the setting of assessment indicators is scientific and reasonable, and has a restrictive effect on Incentive objects, which can achieve the assessment purpose of the equity incentive plan.
