Electronic voting through CREST If you are a CREST member, you may use the CREST electronic proxy appointment service. The CREST Proxy Instruction must be properly authenticated in accordance with CREST specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions as set out in the CREST manual. The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by our agent (ID RA19) by the latest time(s) for receipt of proxy appointments.

Whichever method you choose, instructions or Form of Proxy must be received by the Company's registrar no later than 11.00am London time (6.00pm Hong Kong/Singapore time) on Tuesday 14 May 2019. Please note that any instruction sent in electronic form found to contain a computer virus will not be accepted.

If you submit more than one valid proxy appointment, the appointment received last before the latest time for the receipt of proxies will take precedence.

Further details are included in the Notice of Annual General Meeting 2019.
