Pursuant to the Trust Deed, any Unitholder is entitled to appoint separate proxies to attend and vote in his/her stead at the meeting (or any adjournment thereof), but the number of proxies appointed by any Unitholder (other than a recognized clearing house within the meaning of the Securities and Futures Ordinance) shall not exceed two. A proxy need not be a Unitholder.
  2. In order 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 thereof, must be returned to the unit registrar of Sunlight REIT, Tricor Investor Services Limited at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong (the "Unit Registrar") no later than 10:00 a.m. on Monday, 28 October 2019, or not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding of any adjourned meeting (as the case may be). Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the meeting (or any adjournment thereof) or at the poll concerned should you so wish. In the event that you attend the meeting or adjourned meeting (as the case may be) after having lodged a form of proxy, the form of proxy will be deemed to have been revoked.

For this purpose, seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the register of Unitholders.
  4. For the purpose of determining entitlements to attend and vote at the meeting (or any adjournment thereof), the register of Unitholders will be closed from Friday, 25 October 2019 to Wednesday, 30 October 2019, both days inclusive, during which period no transfer of Units will be effected. In order to be eligible to attend and vote at the meeting (or any adjournment thereof), completed transfer forms accompanied by the relevant unit certificates must be lodged for registration with the Unit Registrar no later than 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, 24 October 2019.
