In order to achieve win-win sustainable development with the majority of investors, on the one hand, competent and experienced managers need to do a good job of “mentoring”, on the other hand, it needs to stabilize the backbone such as R & D technicians with many years of historical contribution and dedication.
In order to establish and improve the company’s long-term incentive mechanism, attract and retain excellent talents, promote the company’s development and safeguard shareholders’ rights and interests, based on the recognition of the company’s future development prospects and internal value, and based on the principle of equal incentives and constraints, effectively combine the shareholders’ interests, the company’s interests and the core team’s personal interests, so as to provide mechanism and talent guarantee for the long-term and steady development of the company, The company plans to implement this restricted stock incentive plan.
When implementing the incentive plan, the incentive and restraint should be equal, so as to effectively improve the incentive object’s work enthusiasm and sense of responsibility, so as to achieve the performance goal.
In full consideration of the company’s geographical location and living costs, the company’s current cash salary level, employees’ capital contribution ability and other factors, the company believes that if the price discount granted this time is insufficient, the incentive object may not be able to obtain positive benefits equivalent to performance.
On November 2, 2021, the company completed its initial public offering and listing on the gem, and the total amount of funds actually raised was 1025257200 yuan. On January 28, 2022, the company issued the performance forecast for 2021. It is estimated that the company’s operating revenue in 2021 will be 490 million yuan to 530 million yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 17.79% to 27.41%, and the net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies will be 160 million yuan to 180 million yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 22.9% to 38.27%. The company’s operating and financial conditions are good, and its cash flow is stable. The company adopts independent pricing and implements the restricted stock incentive plan by issuing shares, which will not have an adverse impact on the company’s performance and daily operation.
To sum up, the company adopts independent pricing in the implementation of this equity incentive plan.
(II) the specific method and determination basis of independent pricing are adopted in this equity incentive plan
The pricing method of this restricted stock grant price (including reserved grant) is independent pricing.

The grant price accounts for 1 trading day, 20 trading days and 60 trading days before the announcement of the incentive plan. The average trading price of the company’s shares is as follows:
(1) The average trading price of the company’s shares on the trading day before the announcement of the incentive plan (total trading volume of shares on the previous trading day / total trading volume of shares on the previous trading day) is 53.99 yuan per share, and the grant price accounts for 37.04% of the average trading price on the previous trading day;

(3) The average trading price of the company’s shares in the 60 trading days before the announcement of the incentive plan (total stock trading volume in the first 60 trading days / total stock trading volume in the first 60 trading days) is 65.37 yuan per share, and the grant price accounts for 30.59% of the average trading price in the first 60 trading days.

The independent directors expressed clear independent opinions that the grant price and pricing method comply with the relevant provisions of Article 23 of the administrative measures and article 8.4.4 of Chapter VIII of the listing rules. The relevant pricing basis and pricing method are reasonable and feasible, which is conducive to the smooth implementation of the incentive plan, the stability of the company’s existing core team, the introduction of excellent professionals and the promotion of the company’s medium and long-term sustainable development, This incentive plan is conducive to the sustainable development of the listed company, and there is no obvious damage to the interests of the listed company and all shareholders.

The independent financial consultant with securities qualification employed by the company will express clear opinions on the feasibility of the plan, the rationality of relevant pricing basis and pricing method, whether it is conducive to the sustainable development of the company and whether it damages the interests of shareholders, and issue relevant financial consultant reports.
2. The rationality of the award price of this incentive plan.
First, the company needs to continuously ensure the competitive advantage of talents. Excellent management personnel, R & D, technical personnel and other professionals are the key to the sustainable development of the company. At present, the heating market competition is intensifying and the talent competition is becoming more and more fierce. If there is a brain drain, it will have an adverse impact on the company’s product development, technology application, internal management and other aspects. Although the company has established a relatively complete cash compensation system, only cash compensation still has certain limitations in attracting and retaining talents. If the equity incentive plan can be implemented at an attractive price to fully mobilize the enthusiasm and creativity of the company’s managers and key personnel, the employees can achieve long-term benefits after reaching the performance objectives and assessment indicators, and the interests of shareholders The interests of the company and the personal interests of the core team are combined to achieve the purpose of retaining and attracting talents. This equity incentive is the first time since the listing of the company, and the incentive objects are the core management and core technical (business) personnel who have served in the company for many years. (as shown in the figure below)

There are 24 incentive objects, including 19 R & D technicians, accounting for 79.16%, and 4 middle managers, accounting for 16.67%; Senior managers accounted for 17.4%. The company hopes that employees can benefit from the company’s interests after trying to achieve performance objectives and assessment indicators, so as to achieve the purpose of retaining and attracting talents.
The second is the objective and realistic needs of the economic conditions of the province where the company is located. The company is located in Hefei, Anhui Province. The salary of local employees is far lower than that in North, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. However, as a new first tier city, Hefei has a high overall consumption level of urban residents. The implementation of equity incentive needs to fully consider the investment ability and subscription intention of employees. Only when the incentive plan can be effectively implemented can the purpose of setting the incentive plan be realized.
Third, the need to safeguard the overall long-term interests of the company. On the basis of setting the award price independently and from the perspective of safeguarding the overall long-term interests of the company, the company has set up a strict assessment system to assess the performance of the company and individuals, so as to make a more accurate and comprehensive evaluation of the work of the incentive object. The setting of performance indicators of this incentive plan takes into account the challenges and realizability, and embodies the principle of “equal incentive and restraint”. The price discount of this incentive plan can fully mobilize the enthusiasm and creativity of incentive objects, promote the realization of incentive objectives, promote the construction of the company’s core team, and provide a solid guarantee for the realization of the company’s future business strategy and objectives.
In conclusion, the company believes that the pricing basis and method of the grant price of restricted shares in this incentive plan are clear and reasonable, has performed the necessary legal procedures at this stage, complies with the provisions of relevant laws, regulations and normative documents, and does not damage the interests of listed companies and shareholders.
