Pursuant to the requirement of the articles of association of the Bank, where a shareholder pledges 50% or more of his/her equity interests in the Bank, the voting rights of such shareholder at the 2018 First EGM shall be subject to restrictions.

• 3. Reply slip

  Shareholders who intend to attend and vote at the 2018 First EGM in person or by proxy are required to complete and return the enclosed reply slip to the Bank's H Share registrar (for H Shareholder(s)) or the Bank's PRC registered office and principal place of business (for domestic shareholder(s)) on or before Friday, 9 November 2018.

• 4. Proxy

  Any shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the 2018 First EGM is entitled to appoint one or more persons (whether such person is a shareholder of the Bank or not) as his/her proxy or proxies to attend and vote on his/her behalf at the 2018 First EGM. As far as all joint shareholders of any shares are concerned, only the joint shareholder whose name appears first in the share register of members has the right to receive the share certificate of the relevant shares from the Bank, to receive notices of the Bank and any notice served on such a shareholder shall be treated as having been served on all the other joint shareholders of those shares. In the case of joint shareholders, any one shareholder may sign the proxy form(s). In the event that more than one joint shareholder attends the meeting in person or by proxy, the vote of the senior joint shareholder who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, will be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint shareholder(s) and for this purpose seniority will be determined by the order in which the names stand in the share register of members in respect of the joint shareholding.

  The appointment of a proxy must be in writing with a form under the hand of the appointer or his/her attorney duly authorised in writing. For a corporate appointer, the proxy form must be affixed with the common seal or signed by its director or attorney duly authorised in writing. To be valid, the instrument appointing a proxy together with the power of attorney or other authorisation document (if any) or a notarially certified copy of that power of attorney or other authorisation document must be completed and returned to the Bank's H Share registrar (for H Shareholder(s)) or the Bank's PRC registered office and principal place of business (for domestic shareholder(s)) not less than 24 hours before the designated time for the holding of the 2018 First EGM or any adjournment thereof.
