Dear Sir or Madam,

AMENDMENTS TO THE BYE-LAWS OF SiS INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS LIMITED

Amendments of the Bye-laws

On April 1, 2003, the Securities and Futures (Clearing Houses) Ordinance has been repealed and the Securities and Futures Ordinance has come into effect. Prior to the repeal of the Securities and Futures (Clearing Houses) Ordinance, HKSCC is a recognised clearing house within the meaning of section 2 of this Ordinance. On the commencement of the Securities and Futures Ordinance, HKSCC shall, instead, be deemed to have been recognised as a clearing house under the Securities and Futures Ordinance.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In view of the coming into effect of the Securities and Futures Ordinance, the Bye-laws have been reviewed in light of the application for admission of the securities of the Company as Eligible Securities by HKSCC. After such review, the Company decides to have the Bye-laws amended in order to ensure that (i) the imprinted signatures on behalf of HKSCC Nominees Limited (or any successor thereto) on transfer deeds, whether as a transferor or a transferee will continue to be accepted and (ii) HKSCC and/or its nominees can appoint multiple proxies or corporate representatives to attend and vote at any meetings of the shareholders or any meeting of any class of shareholders as if they were individual members and are not required to produce documents of title and notarised authorisation.

Consequently, a special resolution for amendments to Bye-laws 1, 41(A) and 41(B) and the introduction of new Bye-law 86A to supplement the present form of Bye-laws will be proposed at the SGM.

Recommendation

The Directors believe that the proposed amendments to the Bye-laws are in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Accordingly, the Directors recommend that at the SGM, the Shareholders should vote in favour of the resolution in the terms as set out in the Notice of SGM.

Special General Meeting

A notice convening the SGM for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing the Special Resolution is set out in Appendix I to this circular. A form of proxy is enclosed for use by Shareholders at the SGM. Shareholders are requested to complete and return the form of proxy to the Company’s Branch Share Registrar in Hong Kong as soon as possible, but in any event not less than 48 hours before the scheduled time of the SGM. The lodging of the form of proxy will not preclude the Shareholder from attending the SGM and voting in person should he so wish.

General

Your attention is drawn to the Appendix I to this circular.

Yours faithfully,

For and on behalf of the Board of

SiS International Holdings Limited Lim Siam Kwee

Chairman

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT a special general meeting of the shareholders of SiS International Holdings Limited (the “Company”) will be held at Barker Room, 7th Floor, Conrad Hong Kong, Pacific Place, 88 Queensway, Hong Kong on May 30, 2003 immediately after the conclusion of the annual general meeting of the Company to be held on the same date, for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing the following resolution as a special resolution:

SPECIAL RESOLUTION

“THAT:

  • (a) the following new definition of “clearing house” be added to Bye-law 1 after the definition of “capital”

“clearing house” a recognised clearing house within the meaning of Part 1 of Schedule 1 to the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571 of the laws of Hong Kong) or a clearing house recognised by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the shares of the Company are listed or quoted on a stock exchange in such jurisdiction.

  • (b) Bye-law 41(A) of the Company’s Bye-laws be deleted and replaced with the following:

  • ‘41. (A) Subject to the Act, all transfers of shares may be effected by an instrument of transfer in writing in any usual or common form or in any other form acceptable to the Directors and may be under hand only or if the transferor or the transferee is a clearing house or its nominee(s), by hand or by machine imprinted signature or by such other manner of execution as the Directors may approve from time to time.’

  • (c) Bye-law 41(B) of the Company’s Bye-laws be deleted and replaced with the following:

  • ‘41. (B) The instrument of transfer shall be executed by or on behalf of both the transferor and the transferee provided that the Directors may dispense with the execution of the instrument of transfer by the transferee in any case which they think fit in their discretion to do so.

NOTICE OF SGM

APPENDIX I

  • (d) the following Bye-law 86A be added to the Company’s Bye-laws after Bye-law 86:

  • ‘86A. If permitted by the Act and without limiting the generality of Bye-law 86, if a clearing house (or its nominee) is a member of the Company, it (or as the case may be, its nominee) may authorise such person or persons as it thinks fit to act as its proxy and proxies or representative or representatives at any meeting of the Company or at any meeting of any class of members of the Company provided that, if more than one person is so authorised, the proxy form or authorisation shall specify the number and class of shares in respect which each such person is so authorised. Each person so authorised under the provisions of this Bye-law shall be entitled to exercise the same rights and powers on behalf of the clearing house (or its nominee) which he represents as that clearing house (or its nominee) could exercise if it were an individual member of the Company, and on a show of hands, each such person shall be entitled to a separate vote notwithstanding any contrary provisions contained in these Byelaws. The number of persons a clearing house (or its nominee(s)) may appoint to act as its representative or representatives shall not exceed the number of shares held by that clearing house (or its nominee), being shares in respect of which there is an entitlement to attend and vote at the relevant meeting.

By Order of the Board SiS International Holdings Limited Lim Siam Kwee Chairman

Hong Kong, April 26, 2003

Notes:

  • 1 Any member entitled to attend and vote at the special general meeting is entitled to appoint another person as his proxy to attend and, on a poll, vote instead of him. A member who is the holder of two or more shares may appoint more than one proxy to attend on the same occasion. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.

  • 2 Where there are joint holders of any share, any one of such joint holders may vote at the special general meeting, either in person or by proxy, in respect of such share as if he were solely entitled thereto but if more than one of such joint holders is present at the special general meeting, then one of the said persons so present whose name stands first on the register of members in respect of such share shall alone be entitled to vote in respect thereof.

  • 3 To be valid, the instrument appointing a proxy, together with a power of attorney or other authority, if any, under which it is signed (or a notarially certified copy of such power or authority) must be deposited at the Company’s Branch Share Registrar in Hong Kong, Secretaries Limited at Ground Floor, Bank of East Asia Harbour View Centre, 56 Gloucester Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting (as the case may be). Delivery of an instrument appointing a proxy shall not preclude a member from attending and voting in person at the meeting or at any adjourned meeting.
