Scheme adopted by HUTCHMED in 2015 (the "Share Option Scheme").
Aimed at attracting and retaining top talent, the Remuneration

compensation benchmarking research on selected peer group
companies. The Remuneration Committee comprehensively reviewed the
compensation and share-based incentives policies of HUTCHMED and
its subsidiaries (the "Group") and established an attractive policy
to ensure the Group is able to recruit and retain top talent.
Vesting of share-based awards under the policy is in line with that
peer group.
1. Performance-related LTIP Award for the HUTCHMED Financial
Year 2022 ("Performance LTIP Awards") - award based on a maximum

Remuneration Committee of HUTCHMED based on the strategic
objectives of HUTCHMED.
The Shares, to be purchased by the Trustee following
determination of the cash amount based on actual achievement of
performance targets, will then be held by the Trustee until the
related underlying LTIP Awards are vested. Vesting will occur two
business days after the date of announcement of the annual results
of HUTCHMED for the financial year ending December 31, 2024.
