  4. Pursuant to the Administrative Measures, an independent non-executive director of a company listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange shall solicit voting rights from all shareholders of the company in the event of the proposed adoption of a share option incentive scheme by such company. The solicitation is intended to provide shareholders of such listed company with an alternative approach to participate in general meetings, so as to encourage them to vote on the resolutions in respect of the adoption of a share option incentive scheme.
    Pursuant to the Administrative Measures and the authorisation of other independent non-executive Directors, Mr. Lu Jianzhong, an independent non-executive Director, has issued the Form of Proxy of INED to solicit voting rights from the Shareholders on the resolutions in relation to (i) the proposed adoption of the Revised Share Option Incentive Scheme; (ii) the proposed adoption of the Management Measures; (iii) the proposed adoption of the Appraisal Measures; and (iv) the authorisation to the Board in relation to the Revised Share Option Incentive Scheme to be proposed at the H Shares Class Meeting.

Please note that if you have completed and returned both the Form of Proxy of H Shares Class Meeting and the Form of Proxy of INED for the H Shares Class Meeting, but have given inconsistent voting instructions on the resolutions concerned between the Form of Proxy of H Shares Class Meeting and the Form of Proxy of INED for the H Shares Class Meeting, your voting instructions given in the Form of Proxy of INED for the H Shares Class Meeting will be counted as your vote for or against the resolutions at the H Shares Class Meeting.
  5. The Form of Proxy of H Shares Class Meeting or the Form of Proxy of INED must be signed by the Shareholder or his/her attorney duly authorised in writing or, in the case of a legal person, must either be executed under its common seal or under the hand of a legal representative or other attorney duly authorised to sign the same. If the Form of Proxy of H Shares Class Meeting or the Form of Proxy of INED is signed by an attorney of the appointer, the power of attorney authorising that attorney to sign, or other document of authorisation, must be notarially certified.

To be valid, for H Shareholders, the Form of Proxy of H Shares Class Meeting or the Form of Proxy of INED, and if the Form of Proxy of H Shares Class Meeting or the Form of Proxy of INED 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, must be delivered to Computershare at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, not less than 24 hours before the time for holding the H Shares Class Meeting or any adjournment thereof in order for such documents to be valid.
