-
Any Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the General Meeting or at any adjourned meeting thereof (as the case may be) will be entitled to appoint a proxy or, if such Shareholder is a holder of two or more Shares, proxies to attend and vote in such Shareholder’s stead. A proxy need not be a Shareholder but must attend the General Meeting or any adjourned meeting thereof (as the case may be) in person to represent the appointing Shareholder.
-
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 such power or authority, must be deposited with the Registrar, Tricor Tengis Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong, not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the General Meeting (i.e. at or before 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, 1 September 2020 (Hong Kong time)), or any adjourned meeting thereof (as the case may be).

The Register of Members will be closed from Monday, 31 August 2020 to Thursday, 3 September 2020 (both days inclusive) to determine the entitlement to attend and vote at the above General Meeting.

In order to qualify for the entitlement to attend and vote at the above General Meeting, all transfer forms accompanied by the relevant Share certificates must be lodged with the Registrar, Tricor Tengis Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong, not later than 4:30 p.m. on Friday, 28 August 2020 for registration.

-
Where there are joint registered holders of any Share, any one of such joint holders may vote, either in person or by proxy, in respect of such Share as if he/she/it was solely entitled thereto, but if more than one of such joint holders are present at the General Meeting, whether in person or by proxy, the joint registered holder present whose name stands first on the Register of Members in respect of the Shares shall alone be entitled to vote in respect thereto.

The health of our Shareholders, staff and stakeholders is of paramount importance to us. In view of the ongoing Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Company will implement the following precautionary measures at the General Meeting to protect attending Shareholders, staff and stakeholders from the risk of infection:

To comply with the Regulation, the Company will provide enough rooms to separate Shareholders if necessary.
