Employee share option plan (Equity-settled) (“ESOP Plan”)

 

In connection with the close of the Business Combination, the Company adopted the 2026 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) on March 19, 2026. The Plan replaced Legacy Horizon’s share-based compensation arrangements and provides for the grant of equity-based awards, including stock options, restricted share units (“RSUs”) and other share-based awards to employees, directors and eligible service providers of the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

As of June 30, 2026 under this scheme, a total of 793,750, 1,047,900, 641,014 and 197,000 options were issued on March 1, 2022, February 1, 2025, August 15, 2025 and March 2, 2026, respectively, comprising 687,500 options exercisable at $0.37 each, 231,250 options exercisable at $0.80 each, 1,278,614 options exercisable at $7.00 each, 285,300 options exercisable at $12.50 each and 197,000 options exercisable at $26.25 each. Upon exercise, each option allows the holder to receive approximately 2.435 Company Class A Ordinary Shares.

 

The vesting conditions for these options are generally structured to occur up to 4 years from the date of grant. Once vested, the options may be exercised at any time up to the maturity date, which is 10 years from the date of grant.

 

In the event an employee ceases employment with the Company, the treatment of the options depends on the circumstances of departure. If employment is terminated for Cause, all vested and unvested options will be cancelled, and the Company retains the right to repurchase any shares acquired through the exercise of options at the original exercise price. If employment ends for any other reason, unvested options will be cancelled immediately, and vested options must be exercised within a specific period; otherwise, they will lapse.

 

The Company has classified the share options as equity-settled share-based payments at fair value. The following table summarizes stock option activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026:

 

    Number of Option Shares     Weighted
