The 2020 Restricted Share Unit Scheme is not a share option scheme and is not subject to the provisions of Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules. The grant of RSUs to a Director and other connected persons of the Company will be subject to compliance with Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules, including the applicable reporting, announcement and/or independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A. For further details of the 2020 Restricted Share Unit Scheme, please refer to the announcement of the Company dated 15 May, 2020, the circular of the Company dated May 29, 2020 and Appendix IV to this circular.

To determine the grantees other than the employees of the Group including the consultants, the Board shall take into account (i) the contribution of such grantee to the growth and development of the Group, and (ii) his/her/its potential value to the Group due to such grantee's expertise, experience or business resources. The purposes of the grant to the grantees who are not the employees of the Group are to provide a means of compensating them through the grant of Options for their contribution to the Company's growth and profits, and to allow such non-employees to participate in such growth and profitability.

As of the Latest Practicable Date, 4,244,069 RSUs have been granted in accordance with the 2020 Restricted Share Unit Scheme. As of the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has not granted any RSUs to non-employees.

- 9 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company will disclose in its annual report the following information in respect of the

2020 Restricted Share Unit Scheme:

  1. the number of RSUs granted under the 2020 Restricted Share Unit Scheme during the year;
  2. the number of RSUs vested, cancelled or lapsed during the year; and
  3. the total number of RSUs granted under the 2020 Restricted Share Unit Scheme and the total number of RSUs available for grant in the future.

Pursuant to the terms of the 2020 Restricted Share Unit Scheme, the total number of Shares underlying the 2020 Restricted Share Unit Scheme shall not in aggregate exceed 4.5% of the issued share capital of the Company as of June 30, 2020.

An ordinary resolution numbered 5 will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to grant to the Directors the RSU Mandate specifying (i) the maximum number of new Shares that may be issued upon vesting of the RSU awards to be granted pursuant to the 2020 Restricted Share Unit Scheme, and (ii) that the Board has the power to allot and issue, procure the transfer of, and otherwise deal with such new Shares pursuant to the vesting of the RSUs that are granted under the 2020 Restricted Share Unit Scheme as and when the RSUs vest and to delegate such power in accordance with the terms of the 2020 Restricted Share Unit Scheme, during the period from the Annual General Meeting at which the RSU Mandate is passed until the earliest of (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (b) the end of the period within which the Company is required by any applicable laws or by the Articles of Association to hold its next annual general meeting; or (c) the date of which such mandate is varied or revoked by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting. Upon the expiration of the RSU Mandate, the Company currently expects that, the Shareholders' approval will be sought in annual general meetings of the Company on an annual basis to grant a similar mandate to the Directors to facilitate the grant of RSUs under the 2020 Restricted Share Unit Scheme.

As of the June 30, 2020, the number of issued Shares was 1,015,781,716. The maximum number of new Shares which may be issued under the RSU Mandate will be 45,710,177, representing approximately 4.5% of the issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

ADOPTION OF THE SHARE OPTION PLAN

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated March 25, 2021. The Board has resolved to propose the adoption of the Share Option Plan for the approval by the Shareholders and shareholders of Tencent. The purposes of the Share Option Plan are to (i) provide incentives and rewards to the directors, employees, advisors, consultants and business partners of the Group for their contributions to, and continuing efforts to promote the interest of, the Company; (ii) recognize the contributions by the Eligible Participants with an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company; (iii) encourage and retain such

- 10 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

individuals for the continual operation and development of the Group; (iv) provide additional incentives for them to achieve performance goals; (v) attract suitable personnel for further development of the Group; and (vi) motivate the Eligible Participants to maximize the value of the Company for the benefits of both the Eligible Participants and the Company, with a view to achieving the objectives of increasing the value of the Group and aligning the interests of the Eligible Participants directly to the Shareholders through ownership of Shares. The Share Option Plan will become effective after all the conditions of the Share Option Plan have been fulfilled and shall be valid and effective for a period of ten years commencing on the Adoption Date.

To determine the Grantees other than the employees of the Group including the consultants, the Board shall take into account (i) the contribution of such Grantee to the growth and development of the Group, and (ii) his/her/its potential value to the Group due to such Grantee's expertise, experience or business resources. The purposes of the grant to the Grantees who are not the employees of the Group are to provide a means of compensating them through the grant of Options for their contribution to the Company's growth and profits, and to allow such non-employees to participate in such growth and profitability.

As of the Latest Practicable Date, no proposed Grantees had been identified by the Company, and thus no Options had been granted or agreed or intended to be granted under the Share Option Plan.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were in issue an aggregate of 1,018,805,679 Shares. Assuming no further Shares are issued and/or brought back prior to the date of adoption of the Share Option Plan, options to subscribe for a total of 25,470,141 Shares may be granted under the Share Option Plan, representing 2.5 per cent. of the issued share capital as at the date of the adoption of the Share Option Plan. The Company may seek approval by its Shareholders to renew the 2.5% limit on the basis that the total number of shares which may be issued upon exercise of all Options that may be granted under the Share Option Plan and any other option scheme shall not exceed ten per cent. (10%) of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of approval of the refreshed limit. The maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding Options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Plan and any other options granted and yet to be exercised under any other option scheme shall not exceed thirty per cent. (30%) of the issued share capital of the Company from time to time.

As the Share Option Plan involves the grant of options, the Share Option Plan must comply with the relevant requirements of Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules. In addition, the grant of the Share Options to a Director or a connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company or Tencent (if any) will be subject to compliance with Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules, including the applicable reporting, announcement and/or independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A.

- 11 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company will disclose in its annual report and interim report the following information in respect of the Share Option Plan:

  1. particulars of outstanding Options at the beginning and at the end of the financial year/period;
  2. particulars of Options granted during the financial year/period; and
  3. the number of Options exercised, cancelled and/or lapsed during the financial year/period.

Conditions of the Share Option Plan

The Share Option Plan shall take effect subject to the following conditions:

  1. the passing of an ordinary resolution to approve the adoption of the Share Option Plan by shareholders of Tencent in general meeting; and
  2. the passing of an ordinary resolution to approve the adoption of the Share Option Plan by the Shareholders in general meeting; and
  3. the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, any Shares to be issued and allotted pursuant to the exercise of Options granted under the Share Option Plan.

Any alterations to the provisions of the Share Option Plan which are of a material nature (except where alterations take effect automatically under the provisions of the Share Option Plan) must be approved by (i) the Shareholders, and (ii) shareholders of Tencent in general meeting, respectively.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Share Option Plan has been approved by the Board. Application will be made to Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the new Shares which may be issued and allotted pursuant to the Share Option Plan.

Value of the Options

The Directors consider that it is not appropriate to state the value of all Options that may be granted pursuant to the Share Option Plan as if they had been granted on the Latest Practicable Date, because the calculation of the value of the Options is based on a number of variables such as the exercise price, exercisable period, interest rate, expected volatility and other relevant variables. As no Options have been granted under the Share Option Plan as at the Latest Practicable Date, certain variables were not available for calculating the value of the Options. The Directors believe that any calculation of the value of the Options as at the Latest Practicable Date based on a great number of speculative assumptions would not be meaningful to the Shareholders.

- 12 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

On a poll, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy or, in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation, by its duly authorized representative, shall have one vote for every fully paid Share of which he/she is the holder.

- 18 -

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The following is an explanatory statement required to be sent to the Shareholders under the Listing Rules in connection with the proposed Buy-back Mandate.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of issued Shares was 1,018,805,679 Shares of nominal value of US$0.0001 each which have been fully paid. Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Buy-back Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or purchased before the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to purchase a maximum of 101,880,567 Shares which represent 10% of the issued Shares during the period ending on the earlier of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (ii) the expiry of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by any applicable laws or the Articles of Association to be held; or (iii) the passing of an ordinary resolution by Shareholders in general meeting of the Company revoking or varying such mandate.

REASONS FOR AND FUNDING OF BUY-BACKS

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to purchase its Shares in the market. Such buy-backs may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the Company's net asset value and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such buy-backs will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Buy-back of the Shares must be funded out of funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. The Directors may not purchase the Shares on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange. Subject to the foregoing, the Directors may make buy-backs with profits of the Company or out of a new issuance of shares made for the purpose of the buy-back or, if authorized by the Articles of Association and subject to the Companies Law, out of capital and, in the case of any premium payable on the buy-back, out of profits of the Company or from sums standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company or, if authorized by the Articles of Association and subject to the Companies Law, out of capital.

The Directors have no present intention to buy-back any Shares and they would only exercise the power to buy-back in circumstances where they consider that the buy-back would be in the best interests of the Company. The Directors believe that if the Buy-back Mandate is exercised in full, it may not have a material adverse impact on the working capital and gearing position of the Company, as compared with the positions disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as at December 31, 2020, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Company were made up. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Buy-back Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or its gearing levels which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

- 19 -

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

GENERAL

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company if the Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he or she has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, if the Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a purchase of Shares pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate, a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholder's interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any purchase of Shares pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, Tencent is deemed to be interested in 601,126,564 Shares through its controlled corporations under the SFO, representing approximately 59.00% of the issued Shares. 230,705,634 Shares, 292,083,460 Shares and 78,337,470 are held by Qinghai Lake Investment Limited, THL A13 Limited and Tencent Mobility, all being direct/indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Tencent Holdings Limited, respectively. In the event that the Directors should exercise in full the Buy-back Mandate, such interests will be increased to approximately 65.56% of the issued Shares.

To the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no present intention to buy-back the Shares to the extent that will trigger the obligations under the Takeovers Code for Tencent Holdings Limited to make a mandatory offer. The Directors are not aware of any other consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any purchase by the Company of its Shares.

- 20 -

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Listing Rules prohibit a company from making buy-back on the Stock Exchange if the result of the buy-back would be that less than 25% (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the total number of issued shares of the Company would be in public hands. The Directors do not propose to buy-back Shares which would result in less than the prescribed minimum percentage of Shares in public hands.

SHARE BUY-BACK MADE BY THE COMPANY

No buy-backs of Shares have been made by the Company during the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).

SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares were traded on the Stock Exchange prior to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

SUMMARY OF THE 2020 RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT SCHEME

ADMINISTRATION

The 2020 Restricted Share Unit Scheme shall be subject to the administration of the Board in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 2020 Restricted Share Unit Scheme, and the Company appointed a trustee to assist with the administration and vesting of RSUs granted pursuant to the 2020 Restricted Share Unit Scheme. The trustee does not exercise any voting rights in respect of any Shares held under the trust or as nominee.

The Board shall have the sole and absolute right to, among others, determine the Senior Grantees who will be granted awards under the 2020 Restricted Share Unit Scheme, the terms and conditions on which awards are granted to Senior Grantees and when the awards granted to Senior Grantees pursuant to the 2020 Restricted Share Unit Scheme may vest. The Chairman shall have the sole and absolute right to, among others, determine the Junior Grantees who will be granted awards under the 2020 Restricted Share Unit Scheme, the terms and conditions on which awards are granted to Junior Grantees and when the awards granted to Junior Grantees pursuant to the 2020 Restricted Share Unit Scheme may vest.

The Administrative Committee may (i) exercise the mandate granted by the Shareholders at general meetings of the Company and direct the Company to allot and issue Shares to the trustee to be held by the trustee to satisfy the RSUs upon vesting; and/or (ii) direct and procure the trustee to receive existing Shares from any Shareholder or purchase existing Shares (either on-market or off-market) to satisfy the RSUs upon vesting.

VESTING

Subject to the terms of the 2020 Restricted Share Unit Scheme and the specific terms and conditions applicable to each award, the vesting period shall be determined by the Board or the Chairman (as the case may be).

The RSUs which have vested shall be satisfied within a reasonable period from the vesting date of such RSUs, either by: (a) the Administrative Committee directing and procuring the relevant trustee to transfer the Shares underlying the RSUs; and/or (b) the Administrative Committee directing and procuring the trustee to pay to the grantee in cash an amount which is equivalent to the market value of the Shares.

In the event a general offer for Shares (whether by way of voluntary offer, takeover, scheme of arrangement or otherwise) is made to all holders of Shares (or all such holders other than the offeror, any person controlled by the offeror and any person acting in association or concert with the offeror), the Board may, prior to or immediately upon the offer becoming or being declared unconditional, determine at its absolute discretion whether any RSU shall vest and the period within which such RSU shall vest. If the Board determines that such RSU shall vest, it shall notify the grantee and the Company that the RSU shall vest and the period within which such RSU shall vest. In the absence of such determination by the Board, the RSUs shall continue to vest in accordance with their respective vesting timetable.

The 2020 Restricted Share Unit Scheme may be terminated at any time prior to the expiry of its term by the Board provided that such termination shall not affect any subsisting rights of any grantee.
