-
(iv) any contract or arrangement in which the Director or any of his Associates is/are interested in the same manner as other holders of shares or debentures or other securities of the Company by virtue only of his/their interest in shares or debentures or other securities of the Company.”
-
(i) Article 129
By adding the words “Notwithstanding the foregoing, a resolution in writing shall not be passed in lieu of a meeting of the Board for the purpose of considering any matter or business in which a substantial shareholder of the Company (as defined in the Listing Rules) or a Director has a conflict of interest that the Board has determined to be material” at the end of Article 129.
After the passing of this resolution approving the above amendment, the amended Article 129 shall read as follows:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a resolution in writing shall not be passed in lieu of a meeting of the Board for the purpose of considering any matter or business in which a substantial shareholder of the Company (as defined in the Listing Rules) or a Director has a conflict of interest that the Board has determined to be material.”

By adding the following new Article 161A after Article 161:

“161A Removal of Auditors prior to expiration of term of office
-
9 -
The Company shall not remove the Auditors before the end of the Auditors’ term of office without first obtaining members’ approval at a general meeting.

The Company shall allow the Auditors to attend the general meeting and make written and/or verbal representations to the members at the general meeting.””
The consolidation into one special resolution number (9) to approve the proposed amendments to a number of articles contained in the existing articles of association of the Company is effected because all such proposed amendments serve to bring the existing articles of association of the Company in line with the recent amendments to the Listing Rules and also serve housekeeping purposes and are not therefore controversial as a whole. By way of consolidation, the passing of the special resolution number (9) at the said Annual General Meeting shall in effect constitute the approval by the Company’s shareholders of all of such proposed amendments and not only some of them.
- (10) “ THAT subject to the passing of the resolution number (9) above, the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company consolidating all of the proposed amendments set out in the resolution number (9) above and all previous amendments made pursuant to the resolutions passed by the members of the Company at general meetings and in the form produced to the meeting (a copy of which has been tabled at the meeting and marked “A” for the purpose of identification) be and are hereby approved and adopted as the new amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company in substitution for and to the exclusion of all the existing memorandum and articles of association of the Company with immediate effect.”
