Notes:
-
Any shareholder of the Company entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting may appoint another person as his proxy to attend and vote instead of him. A shareholder of the Company who is the holder of two or more shares of the Company (the “Shares”) may appoint more than one proxy to represent him and vote on his behalf at the Meeting. A proxy needs not be a shareholder of the Company. In addition, a proxy or proxies representing either a shareholder of the Company who is an individual or a shareholder of the Company which is a corporation shall be entitled to exercise the same power on behalf of the shareholder of the Company which he or they represent(s) as such shareholder of the Company could exercise.
-
The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing under the hand of the appointor or his attorney duly authorised in writing or, if the appointor is a corporation, either under its seal or under the hand of an officer, attorney or other person authorised to sign the same. In the case of an instrument of proxy purporting to be signed on behalf of a corporation by an officer thereof, it shall be assumed, unless the contrary appears, that such officer was duly authorised to sign such instrument of proxy on behalf of the corporation without further evidence of the fact.
-
The instrument appointing a proxy and (if required by the Board) the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed, or a certified copy of such power or authority, shall be delivered to the branch share registrar and transfer office of the Company in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the Meeting or any adjourned meeting thereof at which the person named in the instrument proposes to vote and, in default, the instrument of proxy shall not be treated as valid.
-
Completion and return of an instrument appointing a proxy shall not preclude a shareholder of the Company from attending and voting in person at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof or on the poll concerned and, in such event, the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to have been revoked.
-
Where there are joint holders of any Share, any one of such joint holders may vote, either in person or by proxy, in respect of the Share as if he were solely entitled thereto, but if more than one of such joint holders be present at the Meeting 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, and for this purpose seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the register of members of the Company (the “Register of Members”) in respect of the joint holding.
-
For the purpose of ascertaining shareholders’ entitlement to attend and vote at the Meeting, the Register of Members will be closed from Tuesday, 24 June 2025 to Friday, 27 June 2025, both days inclusive, during which period no transfer of Shares will be registered. In order to be eligible to attend and vote at the Meeting, shareholders of the Company must lodge all transfer documents accompanied by the relevant share certificates with the branch share registrar and transfer office of the Company in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at Shops 1712–1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong for registration by no later than 4:30 p.m. on Monday, 23 June 2025.
