    1. Please insert the full name(s) (in Chinese or in English, as shown in the Register of Members) and registered address(es) in BLOCK LETTERS . 3. If any proxy other than the Chairman of the EGM is preferred, please delete the words “the Chairman of the EGM or” and insert the name and address of the proxy desired in the space provided. A shareholder may appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote in his stead at the EGM. The proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. ANY ALTERATION MADE TO THIS FORM OF PROXY MUST BE DULY INITIALLED BY THE PERSON(S) WHO SIGN(S) IT .
    1. IMPORTANT: IF YOU WISH TO VOTE FOR ANY RESOLUTION, PLEASE INDICATE WITH A “” IN THE BOX MARKED “FOR”. IF YOU WISH TO VOTE AGAINST ANY RESOLUTION, PLEASE INDICATE WITH A “INDICATE WITH A “” IN THE BOX MARKED “ABSTAIN”” IN THE BOX MARKED “AGAINST”. IF YOU WISH TO ABSTAIN FROM VOTING ON ANY RESOLUTION, PLEASE . The shares abstained will be counted in the calculation of the required majority. Any vote which is not filled or filled wrongly or with unrecognisable writing or not cast will be counted as “Abstained”. If you do not indicate how you wish your proxy to vote, your proxy will be entitled to exercise his discretion. Your proxy will also be entitled to vote at his discretion on any resolution properly put to the EGM other than those referred to in the notice convening the EGM.
    1. IMPORTANT: Pursuant to the articles of association of the Company, voting at the EGM in respect of resolutions 2(a) and 2(b) in relation to the appointment of the independent non-executive directors of the Company shall be conducted by way of cumulative voting. In respect of these resolutions, you are entitled to a number of votes equivalent to the number of shares held by you multiplying the number of candidates. When you fill in the “cumulative voting” space, please fill in the space in accordance with the following instructions:
  • (a) In relation to resolutions 2(a) and 2(b), for every share held by you, you will have the same number of voting rights which equals to the number of candidates. For example, if you are holding 1 million shares and 2 independent non-executive directors will be elected at the EGM, the aggregate number of votes which you will have will be 2 million (i.e. 1 million shares x 2 = 2 million voting shares) for resolutions 2(a) and 2(b).

  • (b) No ballot will be cast “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” in cumulative voting. You are requested to fill in the corresponding voting right in the “cumulative voting” column against theof thenamenumberof eachof sharescandidate.heldTheby you.lowestIf votesyou markwill be“�”nilinandthe thespacehighestagainstwillthebenamethe maximumof each candidate,voting rightit willunderbeeachdeemedresolutionto castandyourdototalnot votingneed torightbe theequallyintegralamongstmultiplesthe corresponding candidates.

  • (c) Please note that you may either cast all your votes to one of the candidates, or cast them equally or diversely to more than one of the candidates. For example, if you are holding 1 million shares, the number of votes you have in respect of resolutions 2(a) and 2(b) is 2 million. You may choose to cast every 1 million votes out of the total 2 million votes equally among the two candidates or to cast all your votes (2 million) on one candidate; or to cast 1.5 million votes on candidate A and cast 0.5 million votes on candidate B, etc.

  • (d) The total number of your votes cast on the 2 candidates shall not exceed the aggregate number of votes to which you are entitled. However, if the total number of your votes exceeds the aggregate number of votes to which you are entitled but if your votes are cast to only one candidate, the ballot will be deemed valid and will be counted as the maximum voting right held by you.

  • (e) Please note that when the total votes cast by you on some candidates exceed the total votes to which you are entitled, all the votes cast will become invalid and be regarded as abstain votes; when the total votes cast by you for some candidates are less than the total votes to which you are entitled, the votes are valid and the remaining votes will be regarded as abstain votes. For example, if you are holding 1 million shares, the total number of your votes which may be cast on the resolutions 2(a) and 2(b) is 2 million: (i) if you fill in the “cumulative voting” space under a particular candidate with “2 million shares”, you have used up all the votes to which you are entitled, which results in you having no votes for the other candidate(s). In this case, should you fill in the space under the relevant resolutions of the other candidate(s) with any number of shares (other than 0), all your votes on resolutions 2(a) and 2(b) will be invalid; or (ii) if you fill in the “cumulative voting” space under candidate A with “0.5 million shares” and under candidate B with “0.5 million shares”, the 1 million votes cast by you are valid and the remaining 1 million votes will be regarded as abstain votes.

  • (f) Where the votes cast for a particular candidate are more than half of the total number of shares held by all shareholders attending (before cumulating), such candidate shall be elected as the independent non-executive director of the Company.
