Notes:
- All resolutions at the AGM will be taken by poll (except where the chairman decides to allow a resolution relating to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands) pursuant to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited ("Listing Rules"). The results of the poll will be published on the website of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited at www.hkexnews.hk in accordance with the Listing Rules.
- A member entitled to attend and vote at the AGM is entitled to appoint one or more proxies (if the member holds two or more shares) to attend and vote in his stead. A proxy need not be a member of the Company. If more than one proxy is appointed, the appointment shall specify the number and class of shares in respect of which each proxy is so appointed.
- To be valid, the form of proxy together with the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed or a notarially certified copy of such power or authority must be deposited at the Company's Hong Kong branch share registrar and transfer office ("Registrar"), Tricor Investor Services Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong, not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the AGM or any adjourned meeting. Completion and delivery of the form of proxy will not preclude a member from attending in person and voting at the AGM (or any adjournment thereof) if the member so desires, and in such event, the form of proxy previously submitted by such member shall be deemed to be revoked. In order to lower the risk of spread of COVID-19, the Company encourages members to consider appointing the chairman of the AGM as his/her proxy to vote on the relevant resolutions at the AGM as an alternative to attending the AGM in person.
- Where there are joint registered holders of any share(s) in the Company, any one of such persons may vote at any meeting, either in person or by proxy, in respect of such share(s) as if such person was solely entitled thereto; but if more than one of such joint holders are present at the meeting personally or by proxy, the vote of that one of the said persons so present whose name stands first on the register of members of the Company in respect of such share(s) shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders.
