LETTER FROM THE BOARD
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with the information regarding certain resolutions in relation to the Proposed Adoption of the Eighth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to be proposed at the EGM, which are set out in the notice of the EGM as contained in this circular.
PROPOSED ADOPTION OF THE EIGHTH AMENDED AND RESTATED MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION
Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 29 February 2024 in relation to the change of auditor of the Company and the Proposed Adoption of the Eighth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association.
A. Amendments Relating to Filling Casual Vacancy in the Office of Auditor
In light of the resignation of PwC as the auditor of the Company, the Board proposes to seek approval from the Shareholders at the EGM for amendments to the Articles for the purpose of allowing the Board to fill a casual vacancy in the office of the auditor until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company and fix the remuneration of the auditor so appointed where the office of auditor becomes vacant by the resignation of the existing auditor. As disclosed in the Announcement, the Board will formally appoint KPMG as the auditor of the Company to fill the vacancy following the resignation of PwC and to hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company subject to the approval of such amendments to the Articles.
B. Other Amendments
In addition, for the purpose of bringing effect to the electronic-only dissemination of the Company’s corporate communication to the fullest extent as permitted under the Listing Rules, the Board proposes to seek approval from the Shareholders at the EGM for amendments to the Articles to incorporate certain housekeeping amendments.
The details of the Proposed Adoption of the Eighth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association are set out in Appendix I to this circular. The Proposed Adoption of the Eighth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association are subject to the approval of the Shareholders by way of special resolution at the EGM.
Prior to the passing of the relevant special resolutions at the EGM, the prevailing Articles shall remain valid.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
Set out on pages 11 to 13 of this circular is the notice of the EGM at which, inter alia, special resolutions will be proposed to the Shareholders to consider and approve the Proposed Adoption of the Eighth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association.
To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquires, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on any resolutions to be proposed at the EGM.
Shareholders are advised that the eighth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association are written in English. The Chinese translation of the eighth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association is for reference only. In case of any inconsistency between the English and Chinese versions, the English version shall prevail.
CLOSURE OF REGISTER OF MEMBERS
For the purpose of determining the entitlement to attend and vote at the EGM, the register of members of the Company will be closed from Friday, 15 March 2024 to Monday, 18 March 2024 (both days inclusive), during which period no transfer of Shares will be registered. In order to be qualified for attending and voting at the EGM, all transfer documents accompanied by the relevant share certificates must be lodged with the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at Shops 1712–1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, no later than 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, 14 March 2024.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
VOTING BY POLL
Pursuant to Article 19.8 of the Articles and Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on poll, save that the chairman may, in good faith, allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. Therefore, the chairman of the EGM will demand a poll for the resolutions to be put forward at the EGM.
On a poll, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy or (being a corporation) by its duly authorised representative shall have one vote for every fully paid share of which he/she/it is the holder. A Shareholder entitled to more than one vote needs not use all his/her/its votes or cast all the votes he/she/it uses in the same way.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The Board considers that the Proposed Adoption of the Eighth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The Board therefore recommends the Shareholders to vote in favour of all the resolutions to be proposed at the EGM.
RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT
This circular, for which the Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with respect to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that, to the best of their knowledge and belief, the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.
