Any Shareholder who has not yet lodged the form of proxy (the ‘‘Original Form of Proxy’’) issued by the Company along with the Original Circular and the Original Notice of EGM is requested to lodge only the Revised Form of Proxy if he or she intends to appoint a proxy to attend the EGM on his or her behalf, and there is no need to lodge the Original Form of Proxy. Any Shareholder who has already lodged the Original Form of Proxy should note that:

   • (i) if the Revised Form of Proxy is lodged not later than 24 hours before the time designated for holding the EGM or any adjournment thereof (the ‘‘Closing Time’’), the Revised Form of Proxy will revoke and supersede the Original Form of Proxy previously lodged by the Shareholder. The Revised Form of Proxy will be treated as a valid form of proxy lodged by the Shareholder, if duly completed; and

   • (ii) if no Revised Form of Proxy is lodged before the Closing Time, the Original Form of Proxy will be treated as a valid form of proxy lodged by the Shareholder, if duly completed. The proxy so appointed pursuant to the Original Form of Proxy will be entitled to vote in accordance with the instructions previously given by the Shareholder or at his/her discretion (if no such instructions are given) on any resolution properly put to the EGM, including the new ordinary resolution, i.e. resolution numbered 2 as set out in the Supplemental Notice of EGM.

5. Shareholders (in person or by proxy) attending the EGM shall be responsible for their own transport and accommodation expenses.
