Disputes when the board reviews

Small and medium shareholders have hundreds of millions of objections to the employee shareholding plan, and also show their disagreement about the plan. "I hope that the plan can be re -developed without opposing equity incentives, as long as a reasonable solution can be taken out!" Some investors spoke in the stock bar.

Earlier, Zhongju Gao New released the 2022 employee shareholding plan (draft) on August 30. The employee holding plan intends to use non -trading transfer and other methods to transfer the company to repurchase special securities accounts held by the company not more than 1438.8 Thousands of shares, including 11.788 million shares for the first time, reserved 2.6 million shares.

The price of the shares of the company's shareholding plan for the High -tech employee shares are set at 18.14 yuan/share. The listed company had previously cost nearly 600 million to repurchase the company's 14.388 million shares, with the highest repurchase price of 46.20 yuan/share, the minimum price of 38.24 yuan/share, and the average repurchase price of 41.694 yuan/share.

According to the original plan, "(repurchased shares) were used to implement the company's equity incentives to further improve the company's governance structure, build a long -term incentive and restraint mechanism for the management team to ensure the realization of the company's long -term business goals, promote all shareholders of all shareholders The consistency of interests and income sharing, enhance the overall value of the company. " In order to implement the employee shareholding plan, the listed company announced on August 30 that it would adjust the use of repurchase shares. The original plan was changed to "all used for equity incentives" to "all for equity incentives or employee holdings".

In fact, the board of directors held by the listed company on August 29 When reviewing the employee's shareholding plan, there was a lot of controversy. The voting results of the relevant proposal were "5 votes consent, 3 votes against, and 1 voting abstain." The company's directors Yu Jianhua and Wan Hequn, independent directors Gan Yauren all voted against the votes, and Qin Zhihua, an independent director, voted for abandoned votes. From the perspective of work resumes, Yu Jianhua and Wanhequn are both representative directors of state -owned shareholders of listed companies. Yu Jianhua said at the time that the biggest difference between the employee's shareholding plan and equity incentive was that the voting right of repurchase shares belonged to the shareholding committee, but whether the shareholding committee could represent the opinions of the employees. Changing the use of repurchase shares may not be able to obtain actual incentives. He also worried that if the holding committee obtained 1.83%of the voting rights, it strengthened the controlling shareholder's control of listed companies and affected the rights and interests of small and medium shareholders. In addition, Yu Jianhua also questioned the unlocking conditions and exit mechanisms.

Wan Hequn believes that there are obvious defects such as unlocking conditions and setting proportions, and the nature of welfare is greater than incentives; independent directors Gan Yauren also raised similar doubts; independent directors Qin Zhihua suggested to delay the implementation.

Regarding the doubts of the directors, Zhongju Gaoxin responded at the time that the purpose of implementing the employee shareholding plan was to establish and improve the interest sharing mechanism of employees and shareholders; The amortization of costs affects the company's annual net profit during the lock -up period, but it is at a reasonable level.
