18. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION (CONTINUED)

(c) Performance Awards

In December 2021, the Company issued certain restricted share units with market conditions to certain management (“Performance Awards”). The market conditions are satisfied upon the Company’s achievement of a certain specified market capitalization subject to continuous employment of each recipient. Total numbers of shares to be granted would be a certain percentage of issued and outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis as of the date when the market conditions are fulfilled. The amount of share-based compensation recorded will vary depending on the Company’s attainment of performance-targets and amortized during the requisite service period.

In October 2023 and August 2024, the Company modified the market conditions under the Performance Awards, resulting into an incremental fair value of RMB60.4 million and RMB73.7 million, respectively. The Company will recognize compensation cost equal to the unrecognized grant-date fair value of the original award plus the incremental fair value arising from the modification over the remaining requisite service period unless the respective market condition was actually met.

In October 2024, the market condition of the first tranche was satisfied, which is earlier than the initial estimation, and all remaining unrecognized fair value of the award relating to the first tranche was recognized immediately when the respective market condition was actually met. As of December 31, 2024, the shares relating to the first tranche of the Performance Awards had not yet been issued (“Unissued shares relating to the Performance Awards”).

For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023, 2024 and the nine months ended December 31, 2024, RMB33.0 million, RMB39.2 million and RMB84.3 million related to Performance Awards was recorded in general and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2024, total amount of unrecognized expense related to the Performance Awards was RMB76.4 million.
