Voting and quorum
-
(a) The relevant provisions governing the convening and holding of the adjourned Meeting of Bondholders are set out in Schedule 5 to the Fiscal Agency Agreement, a copy of which is available for inspection as referred to above. Unless the context otherwise requires, words and expressions used in this section have the meanings ascribed to them in the Fiscal Agency Agreement. Each Beneficial Owner who is the owner of a particular principal amount of Bonds, as shown in the records of Euroclear or Clearstream or a Direct Participant (as defined in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum), should note that such person will not be a Holder for the purposes of this Notice of Meeting of Bondholders and will only be entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting of Bondholders or to cause the appointment of a proxy to do so in accordance with the procedures set out below. On this basis, the only Holder for the purposes of this Notice of Meeting of Bondholders will be the registered holder of the Global Certificate, which is BT Globenet Nominees Limited, as nominee for Euroclear and Clearstream.
-
(b) Direct Participants (directly or on behalf of Beneficial Owners), who have sent valid Electronic Voting Instructions (as defined in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum) need to take no further action in relation to voting at the adjourned Meeting. By submitting Electronic Voting Instructions, each Holder or Beneficial Owner will irrevocably instruct the Registered Holder to appoint a duly authorised representative of the Paying Agent as proxy (who may also be proxy in respect of other Direct Participants or Beneficial Owners) for such Direct Participant or Beneficial Owner to attend the adjourned Meeting and instruct it to vote in the manner specified in such Electronic Voting Instruction in connection with the Special Resolution.
-
(c) Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the relevant Clearing Systems (as defined in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum):
-
(i) Beneficial Owners and Direct Participants who hold their interest in Bonds through a Clearing System and who wish to attend and vote at an adjourned Meeting should contact the relevant Clearing System to make arrangements to be appointed as a proxy (by the Registered Holder) in respect of the Bonds in which they have an interest for the purposes of attending and voting at the adjourned Meeting. Beneficial Owners must have made arrangements to vote with the relevant Clearing System by not later than 48 hours before the time fixed for the adjourned
Meeting and within the relevant time limit specified by the relevant Clearing System and request or make arrangements for the relevant Clearing System to block the relevant Bonds held by such persons in the relevant Direct Participant’s account. The proxy to be so appointed may be selected by the Direct Participant or the Beneficial Owner (which could be the Beneficial Owner if an individual) or the Beneficial Owner can request through its Direct Participant for the Registered Holder to appoint the Paying Agent or any two of its employees (as it shall determine) as proxy to cast the votes relating to the relevant Bonds in which he has an interest at the adjourned Meeting.
-
(ii) A Direct Participant whose Bonds have been so blocked will thus be able to procure that an Electronic Voting Instruction is given in accordance with the procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream to the Paying Agent.
-
(iii) Any Bonds so held and blocked for either of these purposes will be released to the Direct Participant by the relevant Clearing System at the Relevant Time; provided, however, that if the Holder has caused a proxy to be appointed in respect of such Bonds, such Bonds will not be released to the relevant Direct Participant unless and until the Holder has notified the Company of the necessary revocation of or amendment to such proxy.
A Special Resolution may only be considered at an adjourned Meeting if such adjourned Meeting is quorate. An adjourned Meeting will be quorate if at least two persons being entitled to vote (whether as a Holder or as proxy or representative) are present at such adjourned Meeting who hold or represent the requisite principal amount of Bonds for the quorum requirement (as set out below across from “ Adjourned Meeting ”). If within 30 minutes after the time initially fixed for an adjourned Meeting, a quorum is not present, the adjourned Meeting shall be dissolved.
Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the relevant Clearing Systems, Holders who have not already submitted Electronic Voting Instructions prior to the Expiration Time may submit Electronic Voting Instructions during the period commencing at the conclusion of the original Meeting and ending at the time which is 24 hours prior to the time and date fixed for the relevant adjourned Meeting.
The quorum requirements are as follows:
Meeting Quorum Requirement Adjourned Meeting Two or more persons present in person holding Bonds or being proxies or representatives, whatever the principal amount of the Bonds so held or represented.
Every matter to be decided at an adjourned Meeting will be decided by a poll. On each poll every such person who is so present shall have one vote in respect of each HK$1,250,000 in principal amount of Bonds held or owned by such person or in respect of which he is a proxy or representative.
Votes in favour of a Special Resolution must represent at least 75 per cent. of the votes cast by way of poll in respect of the Special Resolution to be duly passed.
If passed, a Special Resolution will be binding upon all Holders, whether or not they were present or represented at the adjourned Meeting and whether or not they voted at the adjourned Meeting.
