If the independent director is unable to express his opinion or dissent during the reporting period, it is the case that the independent director is unable to express his opinion or dissent. The details are as follows:
(I) independent opinions on relevant matters at the 14th (Interim) meeting of the seventh board of directors held by the company
1. Independent opinions on the achievement of the conditions for lifting the restrictions in the first lifting period of the reserved grant part of the restricted stock incentive plan in 2019
After verification, I think:
(1) The company complies with the implementation of the equity incentive plan stipulated in the measures for the administration of equity incentive of listed companies and other relevant laws, regulations and normative documents and the 2019 restricted stock incentive plan (Draft), the company has the subject qualification for the implementation of the equity incentive plan, and there is no situation that the incentive object specified in the equity incentive plan cannot be lifted;
(2) The company's restricted stock incentive plan in 2019 has not violated the provisions of relevant laws and regulations and the interests of the company and all shareholders in terms of the lifting of the restriction on the sale of restricted shares granted to each incentive object (including the lifting of the restriction period, the lifting of the restriction conditions, etc.);
(3) The incentive object whose restriction can be lifted this time has met the conditions for lifting the restriction specified in the restricted stock incentive plan in 2019 (including the company's performance evaluation requirements and the individual performance evaluation requirements of the incentive object), and its qualification as the main body of the incentive object whose restriction can be lifted this time is legal and effective.
To sum up, the conditions for lifting the restrictions on sales in the first period of lifting the restrictions on sales in the reserved grant part of the company's restricted stock incentive plan in 2019 have been achieved, and 2392000 restricted shares of 59 incentive objects meet the conditions for lifting the restrictions on sales specified in the equity incentive plan. Therefore, I agree with the company to handle the matters related to the lifting of the restrictions in the first lifting period of the reserved grant part of the restricted stock incentive plan in 2019.
2. Independent opinions on repurchase and cancellation of some restricted shares in 2019 restricted stock incentive plan
After verification, I think:
Due to the resignation of some 6 incentive objects and one incentive object reserved for granting in 2019 restricted stock incentive plan for the first time due to personal reasons, they lose the qualification to participate in the incentive plan as incentive objects and no longer meet the conditions to become incentive objects. After deliberation by the board of directors of the company, it was decided to cancel the qualification of the above incentive objects and repurchase and cancel all the restricted shares granted but not lifted, totaling 224000 shares. The repurchase price was 6.66 yuan / share, with a total amount of RMB 149184 million, Among them, 204000 shares of restricted shares that have been granted to 6 incentive objects for the first time but have not been lifted and 20000 shares of restricted shares that have been granted to 1 incentive object for reserved grant but have not been lifted are repurchased and cancelled.
In my opinion, the above-mentioned repurchase cancellation of restricted shares granted but not lifted are in line with the relevant provisions of the measures for the administration of equity incentive of listed companies, the guidelines for the business handling of listed companies of Shenzhen Stock Exchange No. 9 - equity incentive, the 2019 restricted stock incentive plan (Draft) and the measures for the administration of the implementation and assessment of the 2019 restricted stock incentive plan, and the procedures are legal and compliant, This repurchase cancellation of the company will not affect the continuous operation of the company, nor will it damage the interests of the company and all shareholders.
I agree with the company to repurchase and cancel the above restricted shares that have been granted but have not been lifted.
To sum up, I agree with the company to handle the matters related to the repurchase and cancellation of restricted shares granted to the above resigned personnel but not lifted, and submit the matter to the latest general meeting of shareholders for deliberation.
(II) independent opinions on relevant matters at the 15th (Interim) meeting of the seventh board of directors held by the company
1. Independent opinions on the proposal of the company to continue to use some idle raised funds to temporarily supplement working capital
Through the understanding and verification of the use of the company's raised funds, I believe that the company's use of some idle raised funds to temporarily supplement working capital is conducive to improving the use efficiency of raised funds and reducing the company's financial expenses, which is in the interests of all shareholders. The temporary replenishment of working capital will not affect the normal implementation of the company's investment projects with raised funds, and there is no situation of changing the investment direction of raised funds in a disguised form. The procedures performed by the company comply with the relevant provisions of laws, regulations and company systems. It is agreed that the company will use the idle raised funds of RMB 600 million to temporarily supplement the working capital. The use time shall be from the date of approval of the 15th (Interim) meeting of the seventh board of directors (i.e. from February 25, 2021), and the use period shall not exceed 12 months.
