Notes:

  • (1) In view of the ongoing novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and recent requirements for prevention and control of its spread, the Company will implement certain preventive measures at the Meeting, the details of which are set out in the section headed “Precautionary Measures for the SGM” from pages 1 to 2 of the Circular, to safeguard the health and safety of the attending shareholders of the Company (“ Shareholders ”), staff and other stakeholders.

  • (2) Any Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting shall be entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on behalf of him/her/it. A proxy needs not be a Shareholder. A Shareholder who is the holder of two or more shares of the Company (“ Shares ”) may appoint more than one proxy to represent him/her/it to attend and vote on his/her/its behalf. If more than one proxy is so appointed, the appointment shall specify the number and class of Shares in respect of which each such proxy is so appointed.

  • (3) The Company does not in any way wish to diminish the opportunity available to the Shareholders to exercise their rights and to vote, but is conscious of the pressing need to protect the Shareholders from possible exposure to the COVID-19 pandemic. For the health and safety of the Shareholders, the Company would like to encourage Shareholders to exercise their right to vote at the Meeting by appointing the chairman of the Meeting as their proxy instead of attending the Meeting in person. Physical attendance is not necessary for the purpose of exercising shareholders’ rights.

  • (4) In order to be valid, a form of proxy together with the power of attorney or other authority, if any, under which it is signed or a certified copy of that power of authority, must be deposited at the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Tengis Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong by 12:00 noon on Wednesday, 21 April 2021 or not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the adjourned meeting (if any).

  • (5) Completion and delivery of a form of proxy shall not preclude a Shareholder from attending and voting in person at the Meeting, and in such event, such form of proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.

  • (6) 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 such Share as if he/she/it was 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 Company in respect of such joint holding.

  • (7) For determining the entitlement of the Shareholders to attend and vote at the Meeting, the register of members of the Company will be closed from Tuesday, 20 April 2021 to Friday, 23 April 2021, both days inclusive, during which no transfer of Shares will be effected. In order to be entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting, all Share transfers accompanied by the relevant share certificates must be lodged with the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Tengis Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong for registration no later than 4:30 p.m. on Monday, 19 April 2021.
