Group 1: Application of Second Type of Restricted Stock - The A-share market offers three main equity incentive tools: first type restricted stock, second type restricted stock, and stock options, each differing in shareholder rights, grant discounts, and funding timing [2]. - Since the introduction of the second type of restricted stock in 2019, its penetration rate has been steadily increasing, with many companies in the "two innovation boards" preferring this option for equity incentives [2]. - The second type of restricted stock typically employs a "staged unlocking" mechanism, with the first release of restrictions occurring 12 months after the grant, and full release often taking 36 to 48 months [2]. Group 2: Practical Effects of Second Type of Restricted Stock - Companies implementing the second type of restricted stock have generated excess returns for investors, with average cumulative excess returns of 9.2%, 4.8%, and 6.9% over one, two, and three years, respectively, after the grant [3]. - From 2019 to 2024, companies using this incentive saw average revenue growth rates of 24.3%, 25.9%, and 30.5% in the implementation year, the first year, and the second year, respectively, significantly higher than the A-share market averages [3]. - The average net profit growth rates for these companies were 23.5%, 20.2%, and 7.0% over the same periods, also surpassing the market averages [3]. - R&D expenditure growth rates for companies using the second type of restricted stock were 27.9%, 28.1%, and 24.4%, notably higher than those of companies using stock options and the first type of restricted stock [3].

Group 4: Insights and Recommendations - The growth in equity incentives among A-share technology companies shows an increase in both quantity and quality, but there remains a gap in frequency, scale, and success rates compared to U.S. counterparts [6]. - It is essential to view equity incentives as tools for motivation rather than mere profit distribution, focusing on their ability to enhance company performance and shareholder returns [6]. - There is a need to improve the adaptability and inclusiveness of equity incentive systems for technology companies, ensuring that long-term incentives are closely tied to the company's long-term value [6].
