The company disclosed that in the 2023 restricted stock and stock option incentive plan, the maximum amortization required in 24 years is 124 million yuan. I would like to ask whether the company will amortize quarterly or a lump sum at the end of the year. The current stock price is already lower than the stock option exercise price. If the option is not exercised, will the amortized expenses be offset? Thank you!
