PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE EGM

In view of the ongoing 2019 novel coronavirus disease (“ COVID-19 ”) pandemic and recent requirements for prevention and control of its spread, the Company will implement the following preventive measures at the EGM to protect the attending Shareholders, staff and other stakeholders from the risk of infection:

  • (i) Compulsory body temperature checks will be conducted on all Shareholders, proxies and other attendees at the entrance of the EGM venue. Any person with a body temperature of over 37.3 degrees Celsius will be denied entry into the EGM venue or be required to leave the EGM venue.

  • (ii) All Shareholders, proxies and other attendees are required to complete and submit at the entrance of the EGM venue a health declaration form. Any person who does not comply with this requirement will be denied entry into the EGM venue or be required to leave the EGM venue.

  • (iii) All attendees will be required to wear surgical face masks at all times at the EGM venue (including while queuing for registration outside the EGM venue and throughout the EGM), and to maintain a safe distance between seats. No masks will be provided at the EGM venue and attendees should wear their own masks.

  • (iv) No corporate gifts will be distributed and no refreshments will be served.

Attendees are in addition requested to observe and practise good personal hygiene at all times. To the extent permitted under law, the Company reserves the right to deny entry of any person into the EGM venue or require any person to leave the EGM venue in order to ensure the safety of the attendees at the EGM.

Due to the constantly evolving COVID-19 pandemic situation in Hong Kong, the Company may be required to change the EGM arrangements at short notice. Shareholders should check the Company’s website at http://enp.todayir.com for future announcements and updates on the EGM arrangements.

In the interest of all stakeholders’ health and safety and consistent with recent COVID-19 guidelines for prevention and control, the Company reminds all the Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the EGM is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights. As an alternative, by using form of proxy with voting instructions inserted, the Shareholders may appoint the chairman of the EGM as their proxy to vote on the relevant resolution at the EGM instead of attending the EGM in person.

The form of proxy for the EGM is enclosed with this circular. Alternatively, the form of proxy can be downloaded from the Company’s website at http://enp.todayir.com and the website of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited at www.hkexnews.hk.
