Dear 8I Holdings Ltd CDI-holder,
8I HOLDINGS LIMITED (THE “COMPANY”)
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
CDI VOTING PROCESS
The inaugural Annual General Meeting and Special Meeting of shareholders of the Company will take place at 1.00pm (Singapore Standard Time) on 7[th] July 2015 in Singapore (“Shareholders’ Meeting”) at Goldbell Towers, 47 Scotts Road, #03-03/04, Singapore 228233 .
The securities of the Company are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) in the form of CHESS Depositary Interests (“CDIs”), and we would like to inform you of the particular requirements and restrictions that apply to voting for holders of CDIs, such as yourself.
Each CDI represents a beneficial interest in a common share in 8I Holdings Ltd. The main difference between holding CDIs and holding securities is that the holder of CDIs has beneficial ownership of the equivalent number of securities of the foreign company instead of legal title. Legal title is held by the depositary entity. The securities are registered in the name of the depositary entity, CHESS Depositary Nominees Pty Ltd (“CDN”), and held by CDN on behalf and for the benefit of the CDI holders. This structure exists because 8I Holdings Ltd is a company registered and incorporated in Singapore with a right to trade securities on ASX by way of CDIs.
CDI holders have the same rights as holders of securities with the exception of voting arrangements for matters to be tabled at Shareholders’ Meeting. As your CDIs are technically rights to common shares held on your behalf by CDN, you need to confirm your voting intentions to CDN before the Shareholders’ Meeting. CDN will then exercise the votes on your behalf. If you wish to vote, you must register your vote with CDN by using the CDI Voting Instruction Form (“VIF”) provided to you.
CDI holders cannot vote personally at the Shareholders’ Meeting, however, are very welcome and 8I Holdings encourages you to attend the Shareholders’ Meeting.
To have your vote counted, you must return your completed CDI Voting Instruction Form to Boardroom Pty Ltd, 8I Holdings' share registry, by no later than 48 hours prior to the Shareholders’ Meeting. That is, by no later than 3pm (AEST) / 1pm (Singapore Standard Time) on Sunday, 5[th] July, 2015. This deadline is to allow Boardroom Pty Ltd sufficient time to collate the votes of CDI holders and submit them to the Company prior to the Shareholders’ Meeting.
8I Holdings Limited appreciates your support and interest in the Company and encourages you to lodge your votes ahead of the Shareholders’ Meeting in the manner specified above.
I look forward to your continuing support.
Yours sincerely,
