The company stated that this donation reflects the major shareholder's confidence in and support for the company's long-term growth, aiming to reinforce a long-term orientation among core talent. According to public data, this donation could mark the highest percentage of total share capital ever gifted by a founder to an employee stock plan in the Hong Kong market to date.
