If you wish to abstain from voting on any resolution, tick in the box marked “ ABSTAIN ”, and your voting will be counted in the total number of votes cast in that resolution for the purpose of calculating the result of that resolution.

• IMPORTANT:

Pursuant to the articles of association of the Company, voting at the general meeting in respect of resolutions No. 15.01 to 15.06, 16.01 to 16.04 and 17.01 to 17.02 in relation to the appointment of directors and supervisors 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 the director candidates. When you fill in the “cumulative voting” space, please fill in accordance with the following instructions:

• (a) In relation to resolutions No. 15.01 to 15.06, 16.01 to 16.04 and 17.01 to 17.02, for every share held by you, you will have the same number of voting rights which equals to the number of directors or supervisors to be elected. For instance, if you are holding 1 million shares and 6 non-independent directors will be elected at this general meeting, the aggregate number of votes which you will have will be 6 million (i.e. 1 million shares x 6=6 million voting shares) for resolutions No. 15.01 to 15.06.

• (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 the name of each candidate. The lowest votes will be nil and the highest will be the maximum voting right under each resolution and unnecessarily the integral multiples of the number of shares held by you. If you mark “✔” in the blank against the name of each candidate, it will be deemed to cast your total voting right equally amongst the corresponding candidates.

• (c) Please note that you may either cast all your votes to one of the proposed candidates, or cast them equally or diversely to more than one of the proposed candidates. For example, if you are holding 1 million shares, the number of votes you have regarding the resolutions No. 15.01 to 15.06 is 6 million. You may choose to cast every 1 million votes out of the total 6 million votes equally among the 6 candidates or to cast all your votes (6 million) on one candidate; or to cast 3 million votes on candidate A, cast 2 million votes on candidate B, and cast 1 million votes on candidate C, etc.

• (d) The total number of your votes cast on the 6 non-independent director candidates or 4 independent director candidates or 2 supervisor 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 especially note that when the total votes cast by you on some candidates exceeds 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 No. 15.01 to 15.06 is 6 million: (i) if you fill in the “cumulative voting” space under a particular candidate director with “6 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 director(s). In this case, should you fill in the blanks under the relevant resolutions of the other candidate director(s) with any number of shares (other than 0), all your votes on resolutions No. 15.01 to 15.06 will be invalid; or (ii) if you fill in the “cumulative voting” space under candidate A with “3 million shares”, under candidate B with “1 million shares” and under candidate C with “1 million shares”, the 5 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 for director or supervisor are more than half of the total number of shares with voting power held by all shareholders attending (before cumulating), such candidate shall be elected as the director or supervisor.
