The Group adopted a share option scheme on July 17, 2023 (the “Share Option Scheme 2023”) to provide an incentive to the grantees by enabling them to participate in a future sale or listing of the Group, attract, motivate, and retain eligible participants, and align the interests of the grantees more closely with the shareholders of the Company and provide greater incentive for the grantees to focus on long-term goals of the Group.

The exercise period of the stock options granted is determinable by the directors, and commences on the same date after vesting to three years and ends on a date which is not later than five years from the date of offer of the stock options or the expiry date of the plan, if earlier.

 

On July 17, 2023, the Group granted a consultant share option equivalent to 3.5% of total number of shares of the Company as of December 7, 2022 with no vesting period.

All share options have been exercised in February 2024.

 

According to the underwriting agreement, upon the exercise of the over-allotment option, the Group shall issue to the underwriter, and the underwriter shall purchase 262,228 ordinary shares of the Group, par value US$0.0005 per share, at a price to the public of US$4.00 per share, for total gross proceeds of US$1,048,912.

The exercise price of stock options is determinable by the directors. Stock options do not confer rights on the holders to dividends or to vote at shareholders’ meetings.

 

The Group estimated the fair value of each option as of the date of grant using the Binomial Option pricing model. The following table lists the inputs to the model use:-

 

   Share options granted on
February 1, 2024

Range of expected lives (year)   0.08 
Weighted average share price (US$ per share)   0.4560 
Exercise price (US$ per share)   0.0001 

 

The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome. No other feature of the options granted was incorporated into the measurement of fair value.
