Long term incentive arrangements and
Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting
HaiKe Chemical Group Ltd. ("HaiKe", or the "Company", or the "Group"), the AIM quoted (AIM: HAIK) petrochemical, speciality chemical and biochemical business based in China, today announces the convening of an Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM") to seek Shareholders approval for two proposed long term incentive schemes. A Circular giving full details of the proposals and a notice of EGM has today been posted to Shareholders and will be available on the Company's website: www.haikechemical.com.
The proposed Schemes
The Board of HaiKe intends to adopt two new long term incentive schemes: the Share Option Scheme and the Phantom Share Option Scheme, and to obtain shareholders' authority to allot and issue shares on exercise of options under the Share Option Scheme at the relevant time.
It is the intention of the Board that where possible Directors, employees and key consultants will receive options over actual shares under the Share Option Scheme. Where, however, for regulatory reasons, it is not possible to grant options over actual shares (this includes Directors, employees or consultants in the People's Republic of China), phantom options will be granted over shares under the Phantom Share Option Scheme. The number of Ordinary Shares over which options may be granted under the Share Option Scheme will be restricted to eight percent of the Company's issued Ordinary Share Capital.
Options under either Scheme will be subject to both time vesting and performance criteria. Resolutions are to be proposed at the EGM to approve the rules of the Schemes.
Extraordinary General Meeting
The EGM is to be held at 13:00 pm (Beijing time) on Tuesday 27 July 2010 in the conference room of the Regus Business Centre, 35th Floor, Central Plaza, Wanchai, Hong Kong, China., at which the following resolutions will be proposed:
Resolution 1 - Approval of the Share Option Scheme
This resolution, which will be proposed as an ordinary resolution, is to approve the Share Option Scheme by the rules of the Scheme being in the form produced to the meeting and initialled by the chairman of the meeting.
Resolution 2 - Approval of the Phantom Share Option Scheme
This resolution, which will be proposed as an ordinary resolution, is to approve the Phantom Share Option Scheme by the rules of the Scheme being in the form produced to the meeting and initialled by the chairman of the meeting.
Resolution 3 - Authority to issue and allot shares
This resolution, which is conditional on the passing of Resolutions 1 and 2 will be proposed as an ordinary resolution, is to authorize the Board to allot Ordinary Shares to satisfy the exercise of options in the Schemes.
