(1)During 2020, the Company granted shares to employees that joined the Company following the business combination (Note 3) as well as a related party who was a previous shareholder in Netless (Note 18). Share agreements were signed with the employees contingent on their continuing employment with the Group as well as their ability to meet certain established performance targets. Of the restricted shares to the management employees, 70% of the awards will be released over a period of three years of continuous service, in equal installments starting from the stated vesting commencement date. The remaining 30% portion of the restricted shares are also subject to performance metrics based on an initial target number, and performance is measured over predefined performance periods which is one to three years; depending on the probability of achieving the performance targets, the number of restricted shares could range from 0 to 30% of the target amount.
