Unless the context requires otherwise, capitalised terms used in this notice shall have the same meaning given to them in the Circular, of which this notice forms part.

  1. A member of the Company entitled to attend and vote at the meeting convened by this notice is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote in his stead. A proxy need not be a member of the Company. Completion and return of an instrument appointing a proxy will not preclude a member from attending and voting in person at the meeting or any adjourned meeting if he so wishes.

  2. In order for it to be valid, the form of proxy, accompanied by the power of attorney (if applicable) or other authority (if any) under which it is signed or a certified copy of that power or authority, must be deposited with the Company Secretary at the Company’s principal place of business in Hong Kong at 8th Floor, Henley Building, 5 Queen’s Road Central, Hong Kong not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the meeting or its adjourned meeting.

  3. In the case of joint registered holders, 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 holder(s). For this purpose, seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names of the holders stand in the Register of Members of the Company in respect of such joint holding.

  4. In the case of a conflict between the English text of this notice and its Chinese translation, the English text will prevail.

  5. If at any time after 7:00 am on the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting: (i) Typhoon Signal Number 8 or above remains hoisted or a “Black” Rainstorm Warning Signal is in force; or (ii) the service of the ferry between Hong Kong and Macau is suspended, the Extraordinary General Meeting will be postponed.
