Notes:
-
The above resolution will be put to vote at the meeting by way of poll. On voting by poll, each member of the Company shall have one vote for each share held in the Company.
-
Any member of the Company entitled to attend and vote at the meeting of the Company may appoint another person as his proxy to attend and vote instead of him. A member of the Company who is the holder of two or more shares may appoint more than one proxy to represent him and attend and vote on his behalf at the meeting. A proxy need not be a member of the Company.
-
The instrument appointing a proxy and the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed, or a notarially certified copy of such power or authority, together with such evidence as the board of Directors may require under the bye-laws of the Company shall be delivered to the Company’s principal place of business in Hong Kong at 30th Floor, Bank of America Tower, 12 Harcourt Road, Central, Hong Kong, as soon as possible and in any event not less than forty-eight (48) hours before the time appointed for the holding of the meeting or any adjournment thereof at which the person named in the instrument proposes to vote and, in default, the instrument of proxy shall not be treated as valid.
-
The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing under the hand of the appointor or of his attorney duly authorised in writing or, if the appointor is a corporation, either under its seal or under the hand of an officer or attorney duly authorised. In the case of an instrument of proxy purporting to be signed on behalf of a corporation by an officer thereof, it shall be assumed, unless the contrary is proved, that such officer was duly authorised to sign such instrument of proxy on behalf of the corporation without further evidence of the facts. The board of Directors may, nevertheless, require such evidence as it shall deem necessary as to the due execution of the instrument of proxy and the due authorisation of the same.

-
Completion and return of an instrument appointing a proxy shall not preclude a member of the Company from attending and voting in person at the meeting (or any adjournment thereof) or upon the poll concerned and, in such event, the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to have been revoked.
-
In the case of joint registered holders of any share of the Company, any one of such joint holders may vote at the meeting, either personally or by proxy, in respect of such share as if he were solely entitled thereto, but if more than one of such joint holders is present at the meeting, personally or by proxy, that one of the said persons so present whose name stand first on the register of members of the Company in respect of such share shall alone be entitled to vote in respect thereof.
