Scheme Shareholders may vote in person at the Court Meeting or they may appoint another person(s) (who must be an individual(s)), whether a member of the Company or not, to attend, speak and vote in their stead. A pink form of proxy for use at the Court Meeting (or any adjournment thereof) is enclosed with the composite scheme document dated 23 July 2020 despatched to among others, the Scheme Shareholders on 23 July 2020. Completion and return of the pink form of proxy will not prevent a Scheme Shareholder from attending and voting at the Court Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, in person if he/she wishes to do so and in such event, the pink form of proxy previously submitted shall be deemed to have been revoked by operation of law.

In the case of Scheme Shareholders jointly holding ordinary shares of par value HK$0.01 each in the share capital of the Company (the "Shares"), any one of such persons may vote at the Court Meeting, either in person or by proxy, in respect of such Share as if he/she was solely entitled thereto. However, if more than one of such joint holders be present at the Court Meeting in person or by proxy, that one of the said persons so present being the most or, as the case may be, the more senior shall alone be entitled to vote in respect of the relevant joint holding. For this purpose, seniority shall be determined by reference to the order in which the names of the joint holders stand on the Register of Members of the Company in respect of such joint holding of Shares, the first named Scheme Shareholder being the senior.

It is requested that pink form of proxy be deposited at the Hong Kong Branch Share Registrar at Suites 3301-4, 33/F, Two Chinachem Exchange Square, 338 King's Road, North Point, Hong Kong not later than 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, 15 August 2020.

By the Order, the Court has appointed Dr. Tyen Kan Hee, Anthony, an independent non-executive director of the Company, or failing him, Mr. Xia Zuoquan, also an independent non-executive director of the Company, or failing him, Mr. Guo Xuewen, also an independent non-executive director of the Company, or failing him, any other director or any other person nominated by the Company, to act as the chairman of the Court Meeting and has directed the chairman of the Court Meeting to report the results of the Court Meeting to the Court.

Shareholders who are not Independent Shareholders (except in respect of Shares held on behalf of non-discretionary investment clients of the CLSA Group) will be required to abstain from voting at the Court Meeting.
