To meet the interests of health and safety of attendees, the Company would hereby encourage all Shareholders to exercise their rights to vote for relevant resolutions at the general meeting by appointing the Chairman of the general meeting as their proxy with the form of proxy, in which voting instructions are filled and completed, instead of attending the general meeting in person.
