(3) PROXY FORM
Since the proxy form despatched on 25 January 2017 (the “ First Proxy Form ”) and the amend proxy form despatched on 29 March 2017 (the “ Amended Proxy Form ”) for use at the EGM does not contain certain information as set out in this supplemental notice, a supplemental proxy form (the “ Supplemental Proxy Form ”) has been prepared and is enclosed with this supplemental notice.
-
(a) Each Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the EGM 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 Supplemental Proxy Form enclosed). The Supplemental Proxy Form shall be signed by the appointor or his/her attorney duly authorised in writing, or if the appointor is a body corporate, either under the common seal or signed by a director or a duly authorised attorney of the body corporate. If the Supplemental Proxy Form is signed by an attorney of the appointor, the power of attorney authorising that attorney to sign or other document of authorisation must be notarized.
-
(c) To be valid, for H Shareholders, the Supplemental Proxy Form and notarised power of attorney or other documents of authorisation (if applicable), must be delivered to the Company’s H Share registrar at the address stated in note (8) below by post or facsimile (for H Shareholders only), not less than 24 hours before the time for holding the EGM (i.e. not later than 1:00p.m. on Thursday, 13 April 2017) or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be).
-
(d) Shareholders who have lodged the First Proxy Form and/or the Amended Proxy Form with the Company should note that:
- (i) If no Supplemental Proxy Form is lodged with the Company’s H Share registrar, the First Proxy Form (if no Amended Proxy Form is lodged) or the Amended Proxy Form (if lodged), if correctly completed, will be treated as a valid proxy form lodged by him/her. The proxy so appointed by the H Shareholder will be entitled to cast the vote at his/her discretion or to abstain from voting on any resolution properly put to the EGM except for those resolutions to which the Shareholder has indicated his/her voting direction in the First Proxy Form (if no Amended Proxy Form is lodged) or the Amended Proxy Form (if lodged).
– 3 –
- (ii) If the Supplemental Proxy Form is lodged with the Company’s H Share registrar 24 hours prior to the time appointed for holding the EGM (i.e. not later than 1:00p.m. on Thursday, 13 April 2017) (the “ **Closing Time** ”), the Supplemental Proxy Form, if correctly completed, will revoke and supersede the First Proxy Form (if no Amended Proxy Form is lodged) or the Amended Proxy Form previously lodged by him/her. The Supplemental Proxy Form will be treated as a valid proxy form lodged by the H Shareholder.
- (iii) If the Supplemental Proxy Form is lodged with Company’s H Share registrar after the Closing Time, or if lodged before the Closing Time but is incorrectly completed, the proxy appointment under the Supplemental Proxy Form will be invalid. The proxy so appointed by the H Shareholder under the First Proxy Form (if no Amended Proxy Form is lodged) or the Amended Proxy Form (if lodged), if correctly completed, will be entitled to vote in the manner as mentioned in (i) above as if no Supplemental Proxy Form was lodged with the Company’s H Share registrar. Accordingly, H Shareholders are advised to complete the Supplemental Proxy Form carefully and lodge the Supplemental Proxy Form with the Company’s H Share registrar before the Closing Time.
-
(e) Completion and return of the First Proxy From, the Amended Proxy Form or the Supplemental Proxy Form will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the EGM or any adjournment thereof should you so wish.
-
(4) All resolutions at the meeting will be taken by poll except where the chairman, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands pursuant to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “ Listing Rules ”). The results of the poll will be published on the websites of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the Company in accordance with the Listing Rules.
