Meitu ( (HK:1357) ) has provided an announcement.

Meitu has granted 16,456,530 share awards, equivalent to about 0.36% of its issued share capital excluding treasury shares, to employees and core service providers under its share award scheme, with vesting starting in April 2027. The awards, deliverable through a mix of new shares and treasury shares at the Board’s discretion, are intended to reward contributors to 2025 adjusted net profit growth, align interests with shareholders, conserve cash while expanding overseas via external consultants, and remain within Hong Kong listing rule limits, leaving 392,509,341 shares available for future grants.

The grant includes a Special Grant of 1,357 share awards each to most employees and service providers, with vesting over up to 24 months and no performance targets attached. By using equity incentives rather than cash to attract and retain talent, particularly in overseas markets where it hires through service providers, Meitu aims to support its international expansion and long-term development while maintaining compliance with individual and service provider caps under the share award scheme mandate.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:1357) stock is a Buy with a HK$7.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Meitu stock, see the HK:1357 Stock Forecast page.
