Ever Sunshine Services proposes share option scheme, buyback to boost value

On November 13, 2025, Ever Sunshine Services Group Limited's board resolved to adopt the 2025 Share Option Scheme, subject to shareholder approval at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM). Concurrently, the board conditionally granted 60,600,000 options under this new scheme: 32,800,000 options to three executive directors and 27,800,000 options to 29 other employee participants. The exercise price for these options is HK$1.89 per share.

The company also expressed its intention to conduct an on-market share buyback of up to 172,855,400 shares, representing 10% of the total issued shares as of the AGM date. These bought-back shares may be used as treasury shares for the 2025 Share Option Scheme or for cancellation. The board believes the shares are trading below their underlying value and that the buyback will benefit the company and shareholders.

The 2025 Share Option Scheme aims to motivate eligible participants, provide incentives for their contributions, and enhance the group's ability to attract and retain talent. The scheme has a mandate limit of 172,855,400 shares (10%) and a fixed limit of 60,600,000 shares (3.51%).
