The purpose of this circular is to provide you with (i) further information on the 2024 Share Option Scheme; and (ii) notice of the EGM to enable you to make an informed decision as to vote for or against the resolutions to be proposed at the EGM.– 5 –LETTER FROM THE BOARD TERMINATION OF THE 2020 SHARE OPTION SCHEME AND PROPOSED ADOPTION OF THE 2024 SHARE OPTION SCHEME The 2020 Share Option Scheme was adopted by the Company on 28 September 2020 and is valid and effective for a period of 10 years from the date of adoption. Pursuant to the Consultation Conclusions Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules has been amended with effect from 1 January 2023. In light of the above the Board has resolved to terminate the 2020 Share Option Scheme which is conditional upon the passing of the resolution(s) by the Shareholders to approve and adopt the 2024 Share Option Scheme and propose the adoption of the 2024 Share Option Scheme.The purpose of the 2024 Share Option Scheme is (i) to motivate the Eligible Participants to work hard for the Group’s future development by providing them with an opportunity to acquire the Shares of the Company thereby promoting long-term stable development of the Group; (ii) to provide the Eligible Participants with incentives and/or rewards for their contributions to the Group; and (iii) to enhance the Group’s ability to attract and retain individuals with outstanding skills and extensive experience.As at the Latest Practicable Date there were 24852000 outstanding options granted but not yet exercised under the 2020 Share Option Scheme. The Board intends to cancel the 24852000 outstanding options granted but not yet exercised under the 2020 Share Option Scheme on the same date of and only upon the adoption of the 2024 Share Option Scheme at the EGM. If the 2024 Share Option Scheme is not approved and adopted at the EGM such outstanding options shall continue to be valid and exercisable in accordance with the provisions of the 2020 Share Option Scheme and their terms of issue.Outstanding but not yet exercised Exercise as at the Latest Price per Category of Grantees Practicable Date share (HK$) Grant Date Exercise Period Directors Mr. Xu Binhuai 1540000 50.07 28.09.2020 Vesting date(1) —27/09/2025(4) Mr. Xiao Hua 860000 50.07 28.09.2020 Vesting date(1) —27/09/2025(4) Director’s Subtotal 2400000 Employee participants 21332000 50.07 28.09.2020 Vesting date(2) —27/09/2025(4) 1060000 50.07 30.03.2022 Vesting date(3) —29/03/2027(4) Service providers* 60000 50.07 28.09.2020 Vesting date(1) —27/09/2025(4) Sub-total of eligible 22452000 participants (other than directors) Total 24852000 – 6 –LETTER FROM THE BOARD Notes: (1) Subject to the fulfillment of the relevant vesting conditions (a) as of the date of publication of the audited financial report for the year ending 31 December 2020 40% of the total number of Shares granted under the share options would vest in the relevant grantees; (b) as of the date of publication of the audited financial report for the year ending 31 December 2021 30% of the total number of Shares granted under the share options would vest in the relevant grantees; and (c) in respect of the year ending 31 December 2022 30% of the total number of Shares granted under the share options would vest in the relevant grantees. (2) Subject to the fulfillment of the relevant vesting conditions the vesting dates of 20932000 share options (out of 21332000 share options) granted by the Company to the employees (other than directors) are as set out in note (1) above with the remaining 400000 share options (out of 21332000 share options) held by certain employees vesting on the date of publication of the Company’s audited report for the relevant financial year i.e. (a) as of the date of publication of the audited financial report for the year ending 31 December 2021 40% of the total number of shares granted under the share options would be vested in the relevant grantees; (b) as of the date of publication of the audited financial report for the year ending 31 December 2022 30% of the total number of shares granted under the share options would be vested in the relevant grantees; and (c) as of the date of publication of the audited financial report for the year ending 31 December 2023 30% of the total number of shares granted under the shares options would be vested in the relevant grantees.* The service providers all of whom are consultants to the Company are persons who have been and continue to be providing services to the Group in the ordinary course of business which are conducive to the long-term development of the Group. For the avoidance of doubt service providers do not include placing agents or financial advisers providing advisory services for fundraising mergers or acquisitions nor professional service providers who provide assurance or are required to perform their services with impartiality and objectivity. (3) Subject to the fulfillment of the relevant vesting conditions the vesting date of 640000 share options (out of 1060000 share options) granted to certain employees is the date of publication of the Company’s audited report for the relevant financial year (a) as of the date of publication of the audited financial report for the year ending 31 December 2021 40% of the total number of shares granted pursuant to the share options would be vested in the relevant grantees; (b) as of the date of publication of the audited financial report for the year ending 31 December 2022 30% of the total number of Shares granted pursuant to the share options would be vested in the relevant grantees; and (c) as of the date of publication of the audited financial report for the year ending 31 December 2023 30% of the total number of Shares granted pursuant to the share options would be vested in the relevant grantees. The vesting date of 420000 share options (out of 1060000 share options) granted to the remaining employees is the date of publication of the Company’s audited report for the relevant financial year (a) as of the date of publication of the audited financial report for the year ending 31 December 2022 40% of the total number of Shares granted under the share options would be vested in the relevant grantees; (b) as of the date of publication of the audited financial report for the year ending 31 December 2023 30% of the total number of Shares granted under the share options would be vested in the relevant grantees; and (c) as of the date of publication of the audited financial report for the year ending 31 December 2024 30% of the total number of shares granted under the share options will be vested in the relevant grantees.The reason for part of the options having a vesting period of less than 12 months is that the exercise price (i.e.exercise price of HK$72.40) of the options for 1600000 Shares granted on 23 March 2021 (“Cancelled Options”) is expensive and thus no longer sufficient to fulfill the purpose of providing incentives and rewards to the grantees for contributing to the Group and is not conducive to attracting the existing grantees to stay in their positions and make lasting contributions to the development of the Group. Accordingly both the Remuneration Committee and the Board resolved to approve the cancellation of the then outstanding but not exercised Cancelled Options under the 2020 Share Option Scheme and the granting of an equal number of new share options to the existing grantees (“Replacement Options”). The 1060000 share options listed above consist of currently outstanding but not exercised 640000 Replacement Options. For the avoidance of doubt none of the Cancelled Options is included in the 1060000 outstanding but not exercised options (listed above) as the former are no longer exercisable upon cancellation. (4) Subject to the vesting conditions being met in accordance with the terms of the 2020 Share Option Scheme and the options not having lapsed the options are exercisable by the grantees until 27 September 2025 and 29 March 2027 respectively.– 7 –LETTER FROM THE BOARD As at the Latest Practicable Date to the best knowledge of the Directors and having made all reasonable enquiries no Shareholder has any material interest in the proposed adoption of the 2024 Share Option Scheme. As such no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the resolution in relation thereto.As at the Latest Practicable Date the issued share capital of the Company comprised 3343020336 Shares. Assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital between the period from the Latest Practicable Date and the Adoption Date the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all Options to be granted under the 2024 Share Option Scheme and all options and awards to be granted under any other share scheme(s) of the Company that involve(s) the issuance of new Shares (if any) in aggregate will be 334302033 Shares representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the Adoption Date.As at the Latest Practicable Date the Company had not granted or proposed to grant or intended to grant any Options under the 2024 Share Option Scheme. As at the Latest Practicable Date the Company had not proposed to grant or intended to grant any further options under the 2020 Share Option Scheme.Explanation of the terms of the 2024 Share Option Scheme A summary of the principal terms of the 2024 Share Option Scheme is set out in the Appendix to this circular.

(b) the nature of the services provided to the Group by the Service Provider; and (c) whether such services form part of or are directly ancillary to the businesses conducted by the Group of which is in a revenue generating nature.The Directors are of the view that the categories of the Service Providers are in line with the business needs of the Group and that the criteria for their selection align with the purpose of the 2024 Share Option Scheme. Apart from the contributions from employees the success of the Group might also come from the efforts and contributions from non-employees (including the Service Providers) who have contributed to the Group or may contribute to the Group. Grant of Options to the Service Providers would not only align the interest of the Group with such Eligible Participants but also strengthen their loyalty to the Group and provide incentives for (i) a higher degree of their participation and involvement in the business of the Group; and (ii) maintaining a stable and long term relationship with the Group. Through the grant of Options the interest of such Eligible Participants will align with that of the Group in promoting the growth and development of the Group’s business which is desirable and necessary from a commercial perspective and helps maintain or enhance the competitiveness of the Group. Having considered the above factors the independent non-executive Directors share the view that the inclusion of Service Providers as Eligible Participants aligns with the purpose of the 2024 Share Option Scheme and long-term interest of the Company and its shareholders.In respect of the Service Providers the Group has in its ordinary and usual course of business worked closely with certain Service Providers (including but not limited to consultants distributors contractors suppliers agents) which are important to the success of the Group. The Company appreciates the participation and contributions made by our business partners and would like to give them share-based incentives as and when appropriate so as to among other things motivate them to achieve higher performance targets provide a higher quality of services which will in turn further increase the Group’s revenue.– 10 –LETTER FROM THE BOARD The Directors (including independent non-executive Directors) consider that the proposed categories of Service Providers are consistent with the Company’s business needs and industry practice and the selection criteria and option terms in respect of the Service Providers are consistent with the purpose of the 2024 Share Option Scheme for the following reasons: (a) The Group’s grant of Options to Service Providers is in line with the nature of the industry and the practice of the market participants of the industry.The major business sectors of the Group include (i) property management services (ii) communityvalue-added services (iii) value-added services to non-property owners (iv) the “Three Supplies andProperty Management” businesses (v) city services and (vi) commercial operational services which constitute part of our comprehensive services we provide to customers that cover the full range of the value chain in property management. A large number of service personnel with professional capabilities service experience and good service quality are needed to ensure and improve the Company’s service quality and maintain core competitiveness. On the other hand one of the important factors affecting the Group’s ability to maintain or increase current profitability includes the Group’s strict control of operating costs (especially labour costs). Therefore it can strengthen the binding with service providers that provide high-quality and low-cost human resources and suppliers of facilities and supplies required for services by granting them Options to form a long-term stable and positive cooperative relationship which is particularly important for the Company to control operating costs.In addition the Group provides various professional segmented services and requires experts and experienced service providers in their respective segments to provide professional services to ensure service quality.The professional segmented services include (i) property management services (ii) communityvalue-added services (iii) value-added services to non-property owners (iv) the “Three Supplies andProperty Management” businesses (v) city services and (vi) commercial operational services.(i) Property management services The Group provides a range of property management services to owners residents and property developers including security cleaning greening landscaping and maintenance services etc. and employs experienced service providers in order to achieve the objective of enhancing service quality and customer satisfaction. For example in order to ensure the safe use and prolong the service life of public facilities and equipment in the management community the Group employs professional electrical and mechanical companies to carry out inspections maintenance and reporting of incidents and repairs. In order to ensure the public area cleaning services in the community the Group hires professional cleaning companies to carry out public area cleaning services garbage removal etc.(ii) Community value-added services The Group provides community value-added services to property owners including the provision of home delivery services community media services local life services etc. in order to provide property owners with a full range of community life services. For example the Group employs professional local advertising and media companies to provide community media services to establish a deep connection between consumers and brands; the Group has entered into partnership with a number of renowned consumer goods suppliers to jointly provide consumers with high quality products and services.– 11 –LETTER FROM THE BOARD (iii) Value-added services to non-property owners Value-added services to non-property owners include the provision of cleaning landscaping and maintenance services as well as installation of elevator products ancillary services and other services to property developers at the pre-delivery stage.

The Group thus has engaged a number of human resources providers that can provide quality human resources at low prices and supplies for provisions of relevant services and facilities in order to strengthen the control of the Group’s operating costs while ensuring the quality of the services.Moreover the Group’s provision of the Company’s products (such as consumer goods related to local life services and new products of property robots) to customers requires distributors contractors and agents who have an in-depth understanding of current relevant consumer goods markets and industry trends as well as local sales channels and customer resources to assist the Group in increasing market share and improving the Group’s performance.After reviewing the share option schemes adopted by the market participants of the property sector from July 2023 to May 2024 the Group note that certain market participants of the industry include similar categories of service providers including but not limited to suppliers of services in property management development marketing design renovation and consultancy in their share option schemes and/or share award schemes. The Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) is of the view that the inclusion of Service Providers in the 2024 Share Option Scheme is appropriate and necessary from commercial perspective and helps maintain and enhance the Group’s competitiveness.(b) The Group cooperates with independent consultants and advisors who provide the Group with consulting services advisory services and/or other professional services in relation to the Group’s strategic planning and corporate management marketing business development and empowerment service quality improvement product design and development production or commercialization and capital market services. Such Service Providers play an important role in providing insights into the Group’s business strategy operations management and development by contributing their professional knowledge rich experience and extensive network in relevant fields and providing suggestions for the Group’s business development.– 12 –LETTER FROM THE BOARD (c) The purpose of the 2024 Share Option Scheme is among other things to incentivize Eligible Participants to contribute to the future development of the Group. The Directors (including independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the granting of options to Service Providers will align their long-term interests with those of the Group and Shareholders while maintaining the necessary flexibility to allow the Board to exercise its discretion in determining which Service Providers have or will provide substantial value to or have or will play an important role in the Group’s long-term growth and development. Accordingly the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that it is fair and reasonable to include the Service Providers as Eligible Participants of the 2024 Share Option Scheme.(d) The Company has granted options to service providers under the 2020 Share Option Scheme.On 28 September 2020 the Company granted a total of 9600000 options to four consultants representing 0.35% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of adoption of the 2020 Share Option Scheme. These grantees have many years of experience in property management corporate management mergers and acquisitions investments etc and extensive relationships and networks in the industry. They helped to identify potential projects and beneficial business cooperation opportunities for the Company. The grantees do not include placing agents or financial advisers providing advisory services for fundraising mergers or acquisitions nor professional service providers such as auditors or valuers who provide assurance or are required to perform their services with impartiality and objectivity.Through the grant of options to the service providers under the 2020 Share Option Scheme the Directors have been able to recognize the contribution of the Service Providers in all aspects of the Group’s operations and principal business and the value they bring to the Group which have supported the long-term development of the Group. Accordingly the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the inclusion of Service Providers under the 2024 Share Option Scheme is in line with the Company’s track record of granting options and will continue to motivate high caliber individuals to contribute to and provide long-term growth and support to the Group.Given the above the Directors (including independent non-executive Directors) believe that the inclusion of Service Providers in the 2024 Share Option Scheme is consistent with the purpose of the scheme and in the long-term interests of the Company and its Shareholders and the proposed categories of Service Providers are in line with the Company’s business needs and the practice of the market participants of the industry and the selection criteria for Eligible Participants and the discretion given to the Board to impose different terms and conditions on the Options are also consistent with the purpose of the 2024 Share Option Scheme.The total Service Provider Sublimit shall not exceed 2% of the total number of issued shares as of the adoption date of the 2024 Share Option Scheme i.e. 66860406 shares (please refer to paragraph 7 of the Appendix to this circular for further details).The basis for determining the Service Provider Sublimit is that (i) the potential dilution effect arising from the grant of Options to the Service Providers; (ii) the importance of striking a balance between achieving the purpose of the 2024 Share Option Scheme and protecting the Shareholders from the dilution effect from granting a substantial number of options to the Service Providers; (iii) the scope and extent of use of services provided by the Service Providers in the Group’s businesses; (iv) the expected contribution to the development and growth of the Company attributable to the Service Providers; and (v) the Company expects that a majority of the Options will be granted to the Employee Participants and as such there is a need to reserve a larger portion of the Scheme Mandate Limit for grants – 13 –LETTER FROM THE BOARD to the Employee Participants. Taking into account that following the termination of the 2020 Share Option Scheme other than the 2024 Share Option Scheme there are no other share plans for new Shares or the Group’s employment practices and the fact that the Service Providers have contributed to the long-term growth of the Group’s business the Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the Service Provider Sublimit is appropriate and reasonable given the nature of the Group’s business needs and such limit provides the Group with the flexibility to provide equity awards (rather than expending cash resources in the form of monetary consideration) to reward and cooperate with persons who are not employees or senior staff of the Group but may have special expertise capabilities or business resources in their fields or may provide valuable expertise and services to the Group which is consistent with the purpose of the 2024 Share Option Scheme. Given the above the Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the Service Provider Sublimit of 2% will provide a sufficient number of Shares as an incentive to Service Providers without causing undue dilution to existing Shareholders while allowing the Board to grant options to clearly identified categories of Service Providers. This will benefit the Company.For the avoidance of doubt Service Providers shall exclude placing agents or financial advisors providing advisory services for fundraising mergers or acquisitions and professional service providers such as auditors or valuers who provide assurance or are required to perform their services with impartiality and objectivity.For the avoidance of doubt no grant of any Options by the Company shall be made if a prospectus is required to be issued under the Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance (Chapter 32 of the Laws of Hong Kong) or any applicable laws or if such grant will result in the breach by the Company or the Directors of any applicable securities laws and regulations in any jurisdiction.Vesting Period Save for the circumstances prescribed in paragraph 5 of Appendix to this circular where the Board may at its discretion grant a shorter Vesting Period the Vesting Period shall not be less than twelve (12) months. For example the Board may in circumstances as prescribed in paragraph 5 of the Appendix and at its discretion grant Options with a mixed or accelerated vesting schedule such as where the Options may vest evenly over a period of twelve (12) months as part of competitive terms and conditions to induce valuable talent to join the Group reward exceptional performers with accelerated vesting motivate exceptional performers based on performance metrics rather than time where justified the purpose of the 2024 Share Option Scheme.The Board and the Remuneration Committee consider that: (i) there are circumstances (as set forth in circumstances prescribed in paragraph 5 of Appendix to this circular) in which strict adherence to the twelve (12) month vesting requirement would not be fair to Eligible Participants; (ii) the Company is required to retain the flexibility to offer accelerated vesting period incentives to high performers or under special circumstances if justified to facilitate succession planning and the effective transition of employee responsibilities and to appropriately reward high performers with accelerated vesting or vesting that is justified under special circumstances; and – 14 –LETTER FROM THE BOARD (iii) the Company should be able to develop its own strategy for recruiting and retaining talent in response to changing market conditions and industry competition and should have the flexibility to impose vesting conditions on a case-by-case basis (e.g. performance-based vesting conditions as opposed to time-based vesting criteria) to meet the objectives of the 2024 Share Option Scheme to attract and retain people with outstanding skills and rich experience and to motivate Eligible Participants to work hard for the future development of the Group.This is in line with the objective of the 2024 Share Option Scheme to attract and retain people with outstanding skills and rich experience to motivate Eligible Participants to strive for the Group’s future development and to promote the Group’s long-term stable development.Performance targets Save as determined by the Board and provided in the offer letter the 2024 Share Option Scheme does not stipulate any performance target that the Grantee is required to achieve before the relevant Option can be exercised. However the 2024 Share Option Scheme gives the Board discretion to impose such conditions on the Options where appropriate. The Directors consider that it may not always be appropriate to impose such conditions particularly when one of the purposes of granting the Options is to remunerate or compensate Eligible Participants for past contributions. The Directors consider it more beneficial to the Company to retain the flexibility to determine whether such conditions are appropriate in light of the particular circumstances of each grant. The Directors are of the view that it is generally desirable for the Board to specify in the offer letter at the time of grant of the relevant Option any performance targets to be achieved by the Grantee before an Option may be vested. It may not always be appropriate to impose performance targets particularly when the purpose of granting share options includes providing incentives and/or rewards to participants. The Board may at its discretion impose any conditions (including performance targets if any) that must be satisfied before an Option may be vested.The Board is of the view that it is impractical to specify a common set of performance targets in the rules of the 2024 Share Option Scheme as each participant will have different roles to play and contribute to the Group in different ways and new performance targets may be considered and/or imposed in light of the development of the industry and the macro environment and that providing the Board with more flexibility in setting the terms and conditions of the Options in the particular circumstances of each grant of an Option the Board will be able to provide meaningful incentives to attract and retain talented and high caliber individuals who are valuable to the development of the Group and will be beneficial to the Group and the Shareholders as a whole. This helps to place the Group in a better position to attract human resources that are valuable to the long-term growth and development of the Group.Nevertheless if a performance-based target/condition will be imposed such performance-based conditions include but are not limited to key performance indicators in respect of the Group as a whole its principal business and operations geographic markets and/or individual performance of Eligible Participants such as profits operating cash flow profitability managed area operating profit margin customer dimension competitiveness product competitiveness market share customer satisfaction indicators and such other criteria as the Board may determine from time to time.– 15 –LETTER FROM THE BOARD The Company has established a standardized performance appraisal system to evaluate the performance and contribution of Eligible Participants to the Group including: (a) the financial performance (e.g. operating margin cash flow revenue profit) of the business for which the Eligible Participant is responsible; (b) the operational performance of the business for which the Eligible Participant is responsible (e.g. productivity product line metrics market power operational power composite metrics customer satisfaction customer reputation dimension of customer competitiveness etc.); and (c) the financial performance of the Group as a whole and of the applicable businesses (e.g.revenue of the Company net profit attributable to Shareholders operating cash flow).Under the standardized performance appraisal system the Board shall be responsible for assessing the performance of directors senior management and certain Employee Participants and the Human Resources Management Department shall be responsible for assessing the performance of the remaining Employee Participants. Service Providers shall be assessed by the relevant business departments corresponding to the services provided by such Service Providers and the Human Resources Management Department (in respect of certain consultants and advisors) and the results will be ultimately assessed by the president of the Company and the Chairman of the Board. Assessment of all Eligible Participants shall be conducted yearly or periodically as appropriate (for example every 24 or 36 months). The length of assessment is determined based on the role of the Eligible Participants and the nature of business in which it is involved.Exercise Price The Exercise Price shall be a price determined by the Board at its absolute discretion subject to a minimum amount set out in the provisions of the 2024 Share Option Scheme and the Board may specify in the offer letter at the grant of the relevant Option the performance targets or other vesting condition that need to be achieved by a Grantee and/or the clawback mechanism for the Company to recover or withhold any Options granted to any Eligible Participants.Clawback mechanism Save for the clawback mechanisms in the event of (i) the Grantee fails to effectively perform its duties or is involved in serious misconduct or dereliction of duty; (ii) significant errors or material misstatements in the Company’s financial statements; or (iii) if the Option is linked to any performance targets and the Directors are of the opinion that there occur any circumstances that show or lead to any of the prescribed performance targets having been assessed or calculated in a materially inaccurate manner there is no clawback mechanism for the Company to recover or withhold any Options granted to any Eligible Participant.However the Board may at its absolute discretion cancel an Option granted but not exercised in accordance with the provisions of the 2024 Share Option Scheme. Circumstances for such cancellation may include where it is necessary to comply with the laws in the jurisdictions in which the Eligible Participants and the Company are subject to or in order to comply with the requirements of any securities exchange.Accordingly the Board and the Remuneration Committee are of the view that the relevant terms of the 2024 Share Option Scheme are appropriate and align with the purpose of the 2024 Share Option Scheme.– 16 –LETTER FROM THE BOARD CLOSURE OF REGISTER OF MEMBERS The forthcoming EGM is scheduled to be held on Tuesday 9 July 2024.

ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANTS AND THE BASIS OF ELIGIBILITY OF THE PARTICIPANTS OF THE 2024 SHARE OPTION SCHEME Eligible Participants for the 2024 Share Option Scheme include the Employee Participants and the Service Providers.In determining the basis of eligibility of each Eligible Participant the Board will take into account (i) experience in the Group’s business; (ii) length of service with the Group; (iii) the extent of the Eligible Participant’s actual involvement and/or co-operation with the Group and the duration of the Eligible Participant’s co-operative relationship with the Group (in the event that the Eligible Participant is a service provider to the Group); (iv) the extent to which the Eligible Participant has played a role in and given support assistance guidance advice endeavours and contributions to the success of the Group; and (v) the extent of potential support assistance guidance advice endeavours or contribution that the Eligible Participant may give or make to the success of the Group in the future.For Employee Participants assessing factors include without limitation: (a) their professional skills knowledge and experience; (b) their individual performance; (c) their time commitment responsibilities or employment conditions according to the prevailing market practice and industry standard; (d) the length of their engagement with the Group; and (e) their individual contributions or potential contributions towards the development and growth of the Group.For each category of Service Providers the factors in assessing whether such Service Provider is eligible to participate in the 2024 Share Option Scheme include in particular: (a) the individual performance of the relevant Service Providers; (b) the length of their business relationship with the Group; (c) the materiality and nature of their business relationship with the Group (such as whether they relate to the core business of the Group and whether such business dealings could be readily replaced by third parties); (d) the track record of the quality of services provided to and/or co-operated with the Group and the scale of business dealings between the Service Provider and the Group taking into account among other things actual or expected changes in financial indicators such as the share of – 18 –APPENDIX SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL RULES OF THE 2024 SHARE OPTION SCHEME revenue or profit of the Group attributable or potentially attributable to the Service Provider.
