  1. every participant (including Shareholders or their proxies) in the SGM shall be subject to compulsory body temperature check at the entrance of the meeting venue and anyone with a body temperature higher than normal will not be given access to the meeting venue and will be required to stay in an isolated place for completing the voting procedures;
  2. all participants (including Shareholders or their proxies) in the SGM are required to wear surgical face masks at all time during their attendance of the SGM; and
  3. no refreshment will be served, and there will be no corporate gifts.

Any person who does not comply with the precautionary measures or is subject to any HKSAR Government prescribed quarantine may be denied entry into the SGM venue. Furthermore, the Company wishes to advise the Shareholders that they may appoint any person or the chairman of the SGM as a proxy to vote on the relevant resolutions, instead of attending the SGM in person.

In the interest of all stakeholders' health and safety and consistent with recent guidelines for prevention and control of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company reminds all Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the SGM is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights. As an alternative, by using proxy forms with voting instructions inserted, Shareholders may appoint the chairman of the SGM as their proxy to vote on the relevant resolutions at the SGM instead of attending the SGM in person.
