 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”). No new equity-based awards would be granted under the 2015 Plan subsequent to the IPO; new equity-based awards would be granted under the 2017 Plan. The Company adopted the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”), which became effective in June 2022 following required approvals from the Company’s shareholders and Board of Directors. No new equity-based awards will be made under the 2017 Plan as of the effective date of the 2022 Plan. The initial aggregate number of shares available for issuance under the 2022 Plan was 97,908,743 ordinary shares.The Company adopted the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”), which became effective in June 2024 following required approvals from the Company’s shareholders and Board of Directors. No new equity-based awards will be made under the 2022 Plan as of the effective date of the 2024 Plan. The initial aggregate number of shares available for issuance under the 2024 Plan was 99,208,743 ordinary shares. The share options granted under the equity incentive plans described above have a contractual term of ten years. Share options granted since April 2023 generally vest ratably over a four-year period, and share options granted prior to April 2023 generally vest ratably over a five-year period, with 25% or 20% of the awards vesting on each anniversary of the grant date, respectively, subject to continued employment/service with the Company on the vesting date. The restricted shares granted generally vest ratably over a specified period on the anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued employment/service with the Company on the vesting date. The shares underlying restricted share grants represent shares not yet vested until they have met related consideration or vesting requirements, which are generally continued employment/service to the Company or satisfaction of specified performance conditions. The restricted shares will be released from the restrictions once they vest. Upon termination of the award holders’ service with the Company for any reason, any shares that are outstanding and not yet vested will be immediately forfeited unless otherwise determined by the administrator or set forth in an agreement between the Company and the award holder.Before November 2023, upon each settlement date of the share awards, shares were generally withheld to cover the required withholding tax, which was based on the value of a share on the settlement date as determined by the closing price of the ADSs on the trading day
