Notes:

  1. A member entitled to attend and vote at the AGM (or at any adjournment thereof) is entitled to appoint one or (if he holds two or more shares) more proxies to attend and vote in his stead. A proxy need not be a member of the Company.

  2. The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing under the hand of the appointer or of his/her attorney duly authorised in writing, or if the appointer is a corporation, either under its seal or under the hand of an officer, attorney or other person duly authorised to sign the same.

  3. Where there are joint registered holders of any shares, any one of such persons may vote at the AGM (or at any adjournment thereof), either personally or by proxy, in respect of such shares as if he were solely entitled thereto; but if more than one of such joint holders be present at the AGM personally or by proxy, that one of the said persons so present whose name stands first on the register of members of the Company in respect of such share shall alone be entitled to vote in respect thereof.

  4. In order to be valid, the form of proxy, together with the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed or a notarially certified copy of that power of attorney or authority (such certification to be made by either a notary public or a solicitor qualified to practise in Hong Kong), must be deposited with the branch share registrar and transfer office of the Company in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited, Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong, not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for holding the AGM (i.e. not later than 2:00 p.m. on Monday, 28 June 2021) or any adjournment thereof.

In order to be eligible to attend and vote at the AGM, unregistered holders of shares shall ensure that 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, Tricor Investor Services Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong for registration not later than Thursday, 24 June 2021 (Hong Kong time) on 4:30 p.m..

  6. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude a member from attending and voting in person at the AGM or any adjourned meeting (as the case may be) should he so wish and in such event, the proxy form previously served will be deemed to be revoked.

  7. In compliance with the GEM Listing Rules, all resolutions to be proposed at the AGM will be voted by way of poll.

  8. If a tropical cyclone warning signal No.8 or above is hoisted or “extreme conditions” caused by super typhoons or a black rainstorm warning signal is in force at any time after 7:00 a.m. on the date of the AGM, the AGM will be postponed. The Company will post an announcement on the respective websites of the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited and the Company to notify members of the date, time and venue of the rescheduled meeting.

Due to the recent development of the epidemic COVID-19, the Company will implement the following precautionary measures at the AGM against the epidemic to protect the Shareholders from the risk of infection: (i) compulsory body temperature check will be conducted for every Shareholder or proxy at the entrance of the venue. Any person with a body temperature of over 37.5 degrees Celsius will not be admitted to the venue; (ii) every Shareholder or proxy is required to (a) fill in health declaration form with information including travelling record and health condition; and (b) wear surgical facial mask throughout the meeting. Any person who refuses to follow the aforesaid will not be admitted to the venue; (iii) every Shareholder or proxy who has travelled from jurisdictions, which according to the Department of Health of Hong Kong would render such person subject to a quarantine order, within 14 days of the date of AGM will not be admitted to the venue; and (iv) no refreshments will be served and no gift/voucher will be distributed at the AGM.

Furthermore, the Company wishes to strongly advise the Shareholders, particularly those who are unwell or subject to quarantine in relation to COVID-19, that they may appoint any person or the chairman of the AGM as a proxy to vote on the resolutions, instead of attending the AGM in person.
