of the Company to adopt this Scheme.



 






    	 	5	 



     


    

 


		2.02	If the above conditions are not satisfied, this Scheme shall forthwith determine, any Option(s) granted
or agreed to be granted pursuant to this Scheme and any Offer of such a grant shall be of no effect and no person shall be entitled to
any rights or benefits or be under any obligations under or in respect of this Scheme.



 


		2.03	A certificate issued by the Board that the conditions set out in Clause 2.01 have been satisfied and the

evidence of the matters certified.



 


		3.	PURPOSE, DURATION AND ADMINISTRATION



 


		3.01	The purpose of this Scheme is to provide incentives or rewards to Participants thereunder for their contribution
to the Group and/or to enable the Group to recruit and retain high-caliber employees and attract human resources that are valuable to
the Group.



 


		3.02	Subject to Clause 13, this Scheme shall be valid and effective for a period of ten (10) years commencing
on the date on which the conditions set out in Clause 2.01 are satisfied, after which period no further Options will be granted but the
provisions of this Scheme shall remain in full force and effect in all other respects. Options complying with the provisions of the Securities
Act which are granted during the duration of this Scheme and remain unexercised immediately prior to the end of the ten-year period shall
continue to be exercisable in accordance with their terms of grant within the Option Period for which such Options are granted, notwithstanding
the expiry of this Scheme.



 


		3.03	This Scheme shall be subject to the administration of the Board whose decision (save as otherwise provided
herein) shall be final and binding on all parties.



 


		4.	GRANT OF OPTIONS



 


		4.01	On and subject to the terms of this Scheme, the Board shall be entitled at any time and from time to time
within the life of this Scheme set out in Clause 3.02 to offer to grant to any Participant as the Board may in its absolute discretion
select, and subject to such conditions as the Board may think fit, Option(s) to subscribe for such number of Shares as the Board
may determine at the Subscription Price. For the avoidance of doubt, the grant of any Options by the Company for the subscription of Shares
to any person who falls within any of the classes of Participants shall not, by itself, unless the Board otherwise determined, be construed
as a grant of Option under this Scheme. The basis of eligibility of any of the classes of Participants to the grant of any Options shall
be determined by the Board from time to time on the basis of their contribution to the development and growth of the Group.



 


		4.02	An Offer shall be made to a Participant by letter in such form as the Board may from time to time determine
requiring the Participant to undertake to hold the Option on the terms on which it is to be granted and to be bound by the provisions
of this Scheme and shall remain open for acceptance by the Participant concerned for a period of thirty (30) days from the Offer Date
provided that no Offer shall be open for acceptance after the expiry of this Scheme set out in Clause 3.02 or after this Scheme has been
terminated in accordance with the provisions hereof. No consideration is payable on acceptance of each grant of Option(s).



 






    	 	6	 



     


    

 


		4.03	An Offer shall be deemed to have been accepted and the Option to which such Offer relates shall be deemed
to have been granted and to have taken effect when the acceptance form attached to the Offer with the number of Shares in respect of which
the Offer is accepted clearly stated therein is duly completed, signed and returned in accordance with Clause 4.02 by the Grantee and
is received by the Company at its principal office or such other address as is specified in the relevant Offer letter.



 


		4.04	To the extent that the Offer is not accepted within thirty (30) days from the Offer Date in the manner
indicated in Clause 4.03, it will be deemed to have been irrevocably declined and lapsed automatically.



 


		4.05	Each grant of Options to a director, chief executive (other than a proposed director or a proposed chief
executive of the Company) or substantial shareholder of the Company under this Scheme or any other share option scheme of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries must comply with the requirements under the Securities Act and must be subject to approval by the Board.



 


		5.	SUBSCRIPTION PRICE



 


The
Subscription Price in respect of any particular Option shall be such price as determined by the Board in good faith after taking into
consideration all factors which it deems appropriate at the time of the making of the Offer (which shall be stated in the Offer
Letter).


 


		6.	EXERCISE OF OPTIONS



 


		6.01	The Options granted to the Grantee may be exercised by such Grantee (or, as the case may be, his or her
legal personal representatives) pursuant to the terms and conditions in Clause 6.03; provided that no PRC Grantee may exercise any Options
before all necessary foreign exchange control and other approvals from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (the “SAFE”)
of the PRC or its local counterpart have been received.



 


		6.02	Unless otherwise determined and approved by the Board, an Option must be personal to the Grantee and must
not be assignable and no Grantee shall in any way sell, transfer, charge, mortgage, encumber or create any interest in favor of any third
party over or in relation to any Option. Any breach of the foregoing shall entitle the Company to cancel any outstanding Option or part
thereof granted to such Grantee without any compensation.



 


		6.03	Subject to Clause 6.01, an Option may be exercised in whole or in part in the manner as set out in Clauses
6.04 and 6.05 by the Grantee (or, as the case may be, his or her legal personal representative(s)) giving notice in writing to the Company
stating that the Option is thereby exercised and the number of Shares in respect of which it is exercised. Each such notice must be accompanied
by a remittance for the full amount of the Subscription Price for the Shares in respect of which the notice is given. Within thirty (30)
days after receipt of the notice and the remittance and, where appropriate, receipt of the certificate of an independent financial adviser
or Auditor pursuant to Clause 9, the Company shall issue and allot ordinary shares to the Grantee (or, as the case may be, his or her
legal personal representative(s)) pursuant to the Scheme and the Company shall issue to the Grantee (or, as the case may be, his or her
legal personal representative(s)) a share certificate in respect of the Shares so issued and allotted. All Share certificates delivered
pursuant to the Scheme and all Shares issued pursuant to book entry procedures are subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions
as the Board deems necessary or advisable to comply with all applicable laws. The Board may place legends on any Shares certificate or
book entry to reference restrictions applicable to the Shares.



 






    	 	7	 



     


    

 


		6.04	Subject as hereinafter provided in this Scheme, the Option may be exercised by the Grantee (or, as the
case may be, his or her legal personal representatives) in accordance with the Clause 6.01, provided that:



 


		(a)	in the event of the Grantee ceasing to be a Participant for any reason other than (i) his or her
death, or (ii) the termination of his or her employment on one or more of the grounds specified in Clause 7(f), the Grantee shall
be entitled to exercise the vested Option(s) in full (to the extent which has become exercisable and not already exercised);



 


		(b)	in the event of the Grantee ceasing to be a Participant by reason of death (provided that none of the
events which would be a ground for termination of his or her employment under Clause 7(f) arises prior to his or her death), the
legal personal representative(s) of the Grantee, shall be entitled to exercise the vested Option(s) in full (to the extent which
has become exercisable and not already exercised);



 


		(c)	in the event of a general or partial offer, whether by way of take-over offer, share re-purchase offer,
or scheme of arrangement or otherwise in like manner made to all the holders of Shares, or all such holders other than the offeror and/or
any person controlled by the offeror and/or any person acting in association or concert with the offeror, the Company shall ensure that
such offer is extended to all the Grantees on the same terms, mutatis mutandis, and assuming that they will become, by the exercise
in full of the vested Options (to the extent not already exercised) granted to them, Shareholders of the Company. If such offer becomes
or is declared unconditional, a Grantee shall be entitled to exercise his or her vested Option(s) (to the extent not already exercised)
to its full extent or to the extent specified in the Grantee’s notice to the Company in exercise of his or her vested Option(s);



 


		(d)	in the event a notice is given by the Company to its Shareholders to convene a general meeting for the
purposes of considering and, if thought fit, approving a resolution to voluntarily wind-up the Company, the Company shall on the same
date as or soon after it dispatches such notice to each Shareholder give notice thereof to all Grantees (together with a notice of the
existence of the provisions of this Clause) and thereupon, each Grantee (or where permitted under Clause 6.04(b) his or her legal
personal representative(s)) shall be entitled to exercise all or any of his or her vested Options (to the extent which has become exercisable
and not already exercised) at any time not later than thirty (30) days prior to the proposed general meeting of the Company by giving
notice in writing to the Company, accompanied by a remittance for the full amount of the aggregate Subscription Price for the Shares in
respect of which the notice is given whereupon the Company shall as soon as possible and, in any event, no later than the Business Day
immediately prior to the date of the proposed general meeting referred to above, issue and allot the relevant Shares to the Grantee credited
as fully paid. Prior to the passing of the resolution to wind-up the Company, the Company shall repurchase from the Grantee at a price
mutually agreed between the Company and the Grantee all or any part of the Shares issued and allotted to him/her upon the exercise of
an Option; and



 






    	 	8	 



     


    

 


		(e)	in the event of a compromise or arrangement between the Company and its creditors (or any class of them)
or between the Company and its Shareholders (or any class of them), in connection with a scheme for the reconstruction or amalgamation
of the Company, the Company shall give notice thereof to all Grantees on the same day as it gives notice of the meeting to its Shareholders
or creditors to consider such a scheme or arrangement, and thereupon any Grantee (or where permitted under Clause 6.04(b) his or
her legal representative(s)) may forthwith and until the expiry of the period commencing with such date and ending with the earlier of
the date falling thirty (30) days thereafter and the date on which such compromise or arrangement is sanctioned by the court be entitled
to exercise his or her vested Option(s) (to the extent which has become exercisable and not already exercised), but the exercise
of the vested Option(s) shall be conditional upon such compromise or arrangement being sanctioned by the court and becoming effective.
The Company may thereafter require such Grantee to transfer or otherwise deal with the Shares transferred as a result of such exercise
of his or her vested Option(s) so as to place the Grantee in the same position as nearly as would have been the case had such Shares
been subject to such compromise or arrangement.



 


		6.05	There is no performance target that has to be achieved before the exercise of any Option except otherwise
imposed by the Board and stated in the Offer.



 


		6.06	The Shares to be issued and allotted upon the exercise of an Option will be subject to all the provisions
of the memorandum and articles of association of the Company for the time being in force and will rank pari passu in all respects
with and shall have the same voting, dividend, transfer and other rights, including those arising on liquidation of the Company as attached
to the other fully paid Shares of the same class in issue as from the day when the name of the Grantee is registered on the register of
members of the Company and accordingly will entitle the holders to participate in all dividends or other distributions paid or made on
or after the date when the name of the Grantee is registered on the register of members of the Company other than any dividend or other
distribution previously declared or recommended or resolved to be paid or made with respect to a record date which shall be before the
date when the name of the Grantee is registered on the register of members of the Company, provided always that when the date of exercise
of the Option falls on a day upon which the register of members of the Company is closed then the exercise of the Option shall become
effective on the first Business Day on which the register of members of the Company is re-opened. A Share allotted upon the exercise of
an Option shall not carry voting rights until the completion of the registration of the Grantee as the holder thereof.



 






    	 	9	 



     


    

 


		6.07	Unless otherwise determined by the Board, for the purpose of the Scheme, the vesting of an Option shall
be deemed to continue while the Grantee is on a bona fide leave of absence, if such leave was approved by the Company in writing. Unless
otherwise determined by the Board and subject to applicable law, vesting of an Option shall be suspended during any unpaid leave of absence.

Option, (i) if vested but not exercised, shall automatically lapse in each case on the earliest of this Clause 7(a), (c),

		(f)	the date on which the Grantee ceases to be a Participant by reason of: the termination of his or her employment
on any one or more of the grounds that he or she has been guilty of serious misconduct, or has committed an act of bankruptcy or has become
insolvent or has made any arrangement or composition with his or her creditors generally, or has been convicted of any criminal offence
involving his or her integrity or honesty or on any other ground on which an employer would be entitled to terminate his or her employment
at common law or pursuant to any applicable laws or under the Grantee’s employment agreement with the Company or the relevant Subsidiary.
A written decision issued by the authorized director of the Company or the relevant Subsidiary to the effect that employment of a Grantee
has or has not been terminated on one or more of the grounds specified in this Clause 7(f) shall be conclusive and binding on the
Grantee;

respect; or

notwithstanding that he or she has previously accepted the above-mentioned grant pursuant to the provisions of Clause 4.



 


		8.	MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES AVAILABLE FOR SUBSCRIPTION



 


		8.01	The total number of Shares which may be issued and allotted upon exercise of all Options to be granted
under this Scheme are 14,486,152 Shares (proportionally adjusted to reflect any share dividends, share splits, or similar transactions)
reserved by the Company (the “Share Reserve”) (8,242,983 of which underlie outstanding Options and may not be issued
as of the effective date of this Scheme); provided, however, that the Share Reserve shall automatically be reduced by 2,128,595 Shares
(proportionally adjusted to reflect any share dividends, share splits, or similar transactions) if the number of Tim Hortons Restaurants
(as defined in the MDA) open and operating in the Territory (as defined in the MDA) by the Group on or prior to August 31, 2023 is
less than 495.



 


		8.02	For the purposes of administering this Scheme, the Board may divide such maximum number of Shares into
individual units with each unit being equivalent to a fraction of a Share equal to 14,486,152 divided by 50,000,000. Options lapsed in
accordance with the terms of this Scheme will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the total number of Shares under this Clause
8.01. Any Shares subject to an Option that is cancelled, forfeited or expires prior to exercise, either in full or in part, shall again
become available for issuance under the Scheme.



 


		8.03	Subject to Clauses 8.01, the number of Shares subject to Options and to this Scheme may be adjusted, in
such manner as an independent financial adviser or Auditor (acting as experts and not as arbitrators) must certify in writing to the Board
to be in their opinion fair and reasonable, in the event of a capitalization issue, rights issue, subdivision or consolidation of shares
or reduction of capital of the Company provided that no such adjustment shall be made in the event of an issue of Shares as consideration
in respect of a transaction to which the Company is a party.



 


		9.	REORGANISATION OF CAPITAL STRUCTURE



 


In the event of a capitalization issue,
rights issue, consolidation or subdivision of shares or reduction of capital of the Company (other than an issue of Shares as consideration
in respect of a transaction to which the Company is a party), such corresponding adjustments (if any) shall be made in:


 


		(a)	the number of Shares subject to the Options so far as unexercised; and/or



 


		(b)	the Subscription Price; and/or



 


		(c)	the administrative procedure to exercise of the Option(s); and/or



 


		(d)	the maximum number of Shares referred to in Clauses 8.01,



 


as an independent financial adviser
or Auditor shall certify in writing to the Board to be in their opinion fair and reasonable, provided that any adjustments shall be made
on the basis that the proportion of the issued share capital of the Company to which a Grantee is entitled after such adjustments shall
remain the same as that to which he was entitled before such adjustments and no such adjustments shall be made the effect of which would
be to enable any Share to be issued at less than its nominal value and no such adjustments will be required in circumstances where there
is an issue of Shares or other securities of the Group as consideration in a transaction.


 






    	 	11	 



     


    

 


In
addition, in respect of any such adjustments as provided in this Clause 9, other than any made on a capitalization issue, an independent
financial adviser or the Auditor must confirm in writing to the Board that the adjustment satisfies the requirements of the relevant
provision of the Securities Act.


 


The capacity of the independent financial
adviser or the Auditor in this Clause 9 is that of experts and not of arbitrators and their certification shall be final and binding on
the Company and the Grantees.


 


The costs of the independent financial
advisers or the Auditor shall be borne by the Company.


 


		10.	DISPUTES



 


Any dispute arising in connection with
this Scheme (whether as to the number of Shares, the subject of an Option, the amount of the Subscription Price, or otherwise) shall be
referred to the decision of an independent financial adviser or the Auditor who shall act as experts and not as arbitrators and whose
decision shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final and binding on all persons who may be affected thereby.


 


		11.	ALTERATION OF THIS SCHEME



 


		11.01	This Scheme may be altered in any respect by resolution of the Board, provided that the amended terms
of this Scheme or the Options shall still comply with the requirements of the Securities Act and that no such alteration shall operate
to affect adversely the terms of issue of any Option(s) granted or agreed to be granted prior to such alteration.



 


		11.02	The Company must provide to all Grantees all details relating to changes in the terms of this Scheme during
the life of this Scheme promptly upon such changes taking effect.



 


		12.	TERMINATION



 


The
Company may by resolution in general meeting at any time terminate the operation of this Scheme and in such event no further Options
will be offered but the provisions of this Scheme shall remain in full force and effect to the extent necessary to give effect to the
exercise of any Options (to the extent not already exercised) granted prior to the termination. Options (to the extent not already exercised)
granted prior to such termination shall continue to be valid and exercisable in accordance with the Scheme.


 


		13.	CANCELLATION OF OPTIONS



 


		13.01	If any of the events stipulated in this Scheme which will result in the cancellation of the Options occurs,
then such cancellation of Options granted but not exercised shall require approval of the Board with the relevant Grantees abstaining
from voting.



 


		13.02	Any vote taken at the meeting to approve such cancellation must be taken by poll.



 






    	 	12	 



     


    

 


		13.03	For the avoidance of doubt, Options which have been exercised shall not be included as cancelled Options.



 


		14.	MISCELLANEOUS



 


		14.01	The Board shall have the power to accelerate the time at which an Option may first be exercised or the
time during which an Option or any part thereof will vest in accordance with the Scheme, notwithstanding the provisions in the Option
stating the time at which it may first be exercised or the time during which it will vest.



 


		14.02	This Scheme shall apply to Options granted following the Adoption Date. Any Prior Options will remain

continue to be administered by the Trust and Futu Trustee Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong, as the sole trustee
of the Trust.



 


		14.03	The Company shall bear the costs of establishing and administering this Scheme.

		14.05	The Board shall have the right to require any Grantee to comply with any timing or other restrictions
with respect to the settlement, distribution or exercise of any Options, including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the
