Shareholders may attend the meeting in person, or they may appoint proxies to attend the meeting for them.

Article 100 Any shareholder entitled to attend and vote at a meeting of the Company shall be entitled to appoint one or more other persons (whether a shareholder or not) as his proxies to attend and vote on his behalf. A proxy so appointed shall be entitled to exercise the following rights pursuant to the authorisation from that shareholder:

(1) The shareholder ’s right to speak at the meeting;

(2) The right to demand or join in demanding a poll;

(3) The right to vote by hand or on a poll, but a proxy of a shareholder who has appointed more than one proxy may only vote on a poll.

Where that shareholder is a recognised clearing house within the meaning of the Securities and Futures (Clearing Houses) Ordinance (Cap. 420 of the laws of Hong Kong), it may authorise such person or persons as it thinks fit to act as its representative (or representatives) at any shareholders’ general meeting or any meeting of any class of shareholders, provided that if more than one person is so authorised, the authorisation must specify the number and class of shares in respect of which each such person is so authorised. The person so authorised will be entitled to exercise the same power on behalf of the recognised clearing house as that clearing house (or its nominees) could exercise if it were an individual shareholder of the Company.

Article 101 The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing under the hand of the appointer or his attorney duly authorised in writing, or if the appointer is a legal entity, either under seal or under the hand of a director or attorney duly authorised.

Article 102 If the instrument for appointing a proxy is signed by an attorney of the appointer, the power of attorney to sign or other documents of authorisation shall be notarially certified. The notarially certified copy of that power of attorney or other authorisation documents and the instrument appointing the proxy shall be deposited at the premises of the Company or such other place as is specified for that purpose in the notice convening the meeting.

If the appointer is a legal person, its legal representative or such person as is authorised by resolution of its Board of Directors or other governing body may attend at any shareholders’ general meeting of the Company as a representative of the appointer.

Article 103 Any instrument issued to a shareholder by the directors for use in appointing a proxy to attend and vote at meetings of the Company shall be in such format as to enable the shareholder to instruct the proxy to vote in favour of or against the motions according to his free will, and instructions shall be given in respect of each individual matter to be voted on at the meeting. The instrument of proxy shall contain a statement that in the absence of instructions by the shareholder the proxy may vote as he thinks fit. Meanwhile, there shall be spaces for entering the date of issue and validity period and executing the signature (or affixing a seal). If the appointer is a legal person, the seal of the legal person entity shall also be affixed.

Article 104 The instrument for appointing a voting proxy and, if such instrument is signed by a person under a power of attorney or other authority on behalf of the appointer, a notarially certified copy of that power of attorney or other authority, shall be deposited at the premises of the Company or at such other place as is specified for that purpose in the notice convening the meeting, not less than twenty-four hours before the time for holding the meeting or the time appointed for the passing of the resolution.
