WeRide Grants 7.2 Million RSUs to 325 Employees Under 2026 Share Plan

An announcement from WeRide Inc. Class A ( (HK:0800) ) is now available.

WeRide Inc. has granted 7,227,600 restricted share units to 325 employees under its 2026 Share Plan, with no purchase price, based on a grant date when its Class A shares closed at HK$20.00 in Hong Kong and its ADSs at US$7.59 on Nasdaq. The awards carry mixed vesting schedules over 42 to 58 months, with some tranches vesting in under 12 months due to earlier administrative delays, and are intended to retain and incentivize staff without performance targets, while being subject to a clawback mechanism for serious misconduct and not requiring shareholder approval.

The compensation committee considers the lack of performance targets to be market competitive given the long vesting period and consistent with the company’s remuneration policy. Management emphasizes that the grants, which exclude connected persons and remain within individual and participant limits under Hong Kong listing rules, are designed to recognize existing employees’ contributions and align them with the group’s long-term growth and operational development.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:0800) stock is a Buy with a HK$27.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on WeRide Inc. Class A stock, see the HK:0800 Stock Forecast page.
