Due to the enactment of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (“SFO”), the Company is required to amend its Bye-Laws (the “Bye-Laws”) to reflect the relevant changes in the SFO. In addition, the Stock Exchange has recently amended, among other things, Appendix 3 to the Listing Rules and the revised Listing Rules took effect on 31st March, 2004. The Company as a listed issuer is required to amend its Bye-Laws to ensure compliance with the amended provisions of Appendix 3 to the Listing Rules at the earliest opportunity and, in any event, no later than the conclusion of its next annual general meeting.
In view of the enactment of the SFO and in order to comply with the amended Listing Rules, the Directors wish to seek the shareholders’ approval at the AGM of the proposed amendments to the Bye-Laws.
The board of directors of the Company therefore proposes to put forward to the Shareholders for approval at the AGM, resolutions to amend the Bye-Laws to, among other things:
-
(a) allow every proxy appointed by a member which is a clearing house to vote on a show of hands;
-
(b) adopt the definition of “clearing house” in the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the “SFO”);
-
(c) allow a member which is a clearing house to appoint multiple corporate representatives;
-
(d) allow corporate communications by electronic means and provision of summary financial reports in place of annual reports and accounts;

The proposed amendments to the Bye-Laws are subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Company by way of special resolution at the AGM.
