Shareholders of the Company whose names are recorded in the register of members of the Company on Wednesday, 22 December 2021 are entitled to attend and vote at the AGM.

• (2) Any shareholder of the Company entitled to attend and vote at a meeting is entitled to appoint another person as his/her/its proxy to attend and vote instead of him/her/it. A shareholder who is the holder of two or more Shares may appoint more than one proxy to represent him/her/it and vote on his/her/its behalf at a general meeting of the Company or at class meeting. A proxy needs not be a shareholder of the Company.

• (3) Where there are joint registered holders of any Share, any one of such joint holders may vote at the AGM, either personally or by proxy, in respect of such Share as if he/she/it were solely entitled thereto; but if more than one of such joint holders be present at the AGM, 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 in respect of the joint holding.

4

• (4) The form of proxy and the power of attorney or other authority, if any, under which it is signed or a notarially certified copy of such power of attorney or authority must be lodged 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 not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the AGM, and in default the form of proxy shall not be treated as valid. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude members from attending and voting in person at the AGM (or any adjournment thereof) should they so wish and in such event, the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.

• (5) All resolutions set out in this notice will be decided by poll at the AGM.

• (6) In the event of any inconsistency, the English text of this notice shall prevail over the Chinese text.

• (7) In line with the prevailing practices and guidelines on the prevention of coronavirus (“COVID-19”), depending on the development of COVID-19, special precautionary measures will be implemented by the Company at the AGM, which may include without limitation the following:

• (iii) mandatory health declaration;

• (iv) no refreshments will be provided to the attendees; and

Should any attendee refuse to comply with any of the abovementioned measures, the Company reserves the right to deny access of such attendee to the meeting venue.

In light of the present risks posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and if such risks continue at the time of the AGM, the Company strongly encourages the shareholders of the Company to exercise their right to appoint the chairperson of the AGM as their proxy to vote according to their indicated voting instructions as an alternative to attending the AGM in person. Subject to the development of COVID-19, the Company may implement further changes and precautionary measures as appropriate.
