-
(a) Each Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the AGM may appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote on his/her behalf. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.
-
(b) Shareholders can appoint a proxy by an instrument in writing (i.e., by using the Amended Proxy Form enclosed). The Amended Proxy Form shall be signed by the appointor or his/ her attorney duly authorized in writing, or if the appointor is a body corporate, either under the common seal or signed by a director or a duly authorized attorney of the body corporate. If the Amended Proxy Form is signed by an attorney of the appointor, the power of attorney authorizing that attorney to sign or other document of authorization must be notarized.

Accordingly, H Shareholders are advised to complete the Amended Proxy Form carefully and lodge the Amended Proxy Form with the Company’s H Share registrar before the Closing Time.
