  2. Shareholders entitled to attend and vote at the Class Meeting of Holders of H Shares may appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote in his/her stead.

  1. The instrument appointing a proxy must be in writing and signed by holders of Shares or his/her attorney who was duly authorized in writing. If the Shareholder is a corporation, that instrument must be executed either under its common seal or under the hand of its director(s) or duly authorized attorney. If that instrument is signed by an attorney of the Shareholder, the power of attorney authorizing that attorney to sign or other authorization document must be notarized.

  2. In order to be valid, the proxy form together with the notarized power of attorney or other authorization document (if any) must be deposited at the H Share registrar of the Company, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong not less than 24 hours before the time fixed for the holding of the Class Meeting of Holders of H Shares or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be) (which is 11:00 a.m. on Sunday, May 29, 2022 (or other date in the event of any adjournment thereof)). Completion and return of the proxy form will not preclude a Shareholder from attending and voting in person at the Class Meeting of Holders of H Shares or any adjournment thereof if he/she so wishes.

  3. Shareholders and Shareholder proxies are required to produce identity proof when attending the Class Meeting of Holders of H Shares (and any adjournment thereof).

  4. Pursuant to the Articles of Association, any vote of Shareholders at a class meeting of holders of H shares must be taken by poll. As such, the resolutions set out in the notice of the Class Meeting of Holders of H Shares will be voted on by poll.

  6. In the case of joint Shareholders, the vote of the senior who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, will be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint Shareholder(s), and for this purpose seniority will be determined by the order in which the names stand on the register of members in respect of the relevant joint holding.
