  3. Any shareholder of the Company entitled to attend and vote at the AGM is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote at the meeting on his behalf. A proxy needs not be a shareholder of the Company. Each shareholder who wishes to appoint proxy should first review the annual report of the Company for the year 2017 and the circular, which were despatched to shareholders on 23 April 2018.

  4. A proxy shall be appointed by an instrument in writing (including the proxy form). Such instrument shall be signed by the appointer or his attorney duly authorised in writing. If the appointer is a legal person, then the instrument shall be signed under a legal person’s seal or signed by its director or an attorney duly authorised in writing. The instrument appointing the proxy shall be deposited at the Company’s H Share registrar for holders of H Shares, at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong; or at the address of the Company Secretary for holders of Domestic Shares not less than 24 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the AGM (i.e. before 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, 6 June 2018) or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be). If the instrument appointing the proxy is signed by a person authorised by the appointer, the power of attorney or other document of authority under which the instrument is signed shall be notarised. The notarised power of attorney or other document of authority shall be deposited together and at the same time with the instrument appointing the proxy at the Company’s H Share registrar or the address of the company secretary (as may be applicable).
