In that event, the said form(s) of proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.
The contact phone number of the Registrar is (852) 2980 1333.

To enable the Company to charge the amount of such auditor’s remuneration as operating expenses for the Year 2015, Members’ approval to delegate the authority to the Board to fix the independent auditor’s remuneration for the Year 2015 is required, and is hereby sought, at the 2014 AGM.

If a tropical cyclone warning signal No. 8 or above or a black rainstorm warning signal is lowered or cancelled at or before 8:00 a.m. on the date of the 2014 AGM and where conditions permit, the 2014 AGM will be held as scheduled.
