-
As Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Warrant Instrument, the Specific Mandate in relation to the allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares and Warrant Shares (upon the full exercise of the Warrants) and the respective transactions contemplated thereunder are all transactions related to each other forming one significant proposal (i.e. these transactions must take effect altogether or not at all), resolutions numbered (a) to (c) are inter-conditional on each other.
-
A member entitled to attend and vote at the SGM is entitled to appoint one or, if he is the holder of two or more shares, more than one proxy to attend and vote instead of him/her/it. A proxy need not be a member.
-
A form of proxy for use at the SGM is enclosed herewith. To be valid, the form of proxy together with the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed or notarially certified copy thereof must be deposited with the branch share registrar and transfer office of the Company in Hong Kong, Tricor Secretaries Limited at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong as soon as possible and, in any event, not less than 48 hours (i.e. 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, 16 January 2021) before the time appointed for the holding of the SGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be). Completion and deposit of the form of proxy will not preclude a shareholder from attending and voting in person at the SGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be).
In view of the ongoing Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the Company strongly recommends shareholders of the Company to exercise your voting rights by appointing the chairperson of the SGM as your proxy to vote on the relevant resolutions at the SGM as an alternative to attending the SGM in person.
-
Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude a shareholder of the Company from attending and voting in person at the SGM convened or any adjournment thereof and in such event, the authority of the proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.
-
In the case of joint holders of a 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. If more than one of such joint holders are present at the SGM, the vote of the senior who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders. For this purpose, seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the register of members of the Company in respect of the joint holding.
-
For determining the entitlement to attend and vote at the SGM, the register of members of the Company will be closed from Wednesday, 13 January 2021 to Monday, 18 January 2021 (both days inclusive), during which period no transfer of Shares will be registered. In order for a shareholder of the Company to be eligible to attend and vote at the SGM, all transfer forms accompanied by the relevant share certificates must be lodged with the Company’s branch registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Secretaries Limited at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong, for registration not later than 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, 12 January 2021.
