  • 5. Precautionary measures for the EGM

    In view of the ongoing development of COVID-19 pandemic and recent requirements for prevention and control of its spread by the HKSAR Government, the Company recommends Shareholders to exercise their voting rights by appointing the Chairman of the EGM as their proxy to vote on the relevant resolutions at the EGM as an alternative to attending the EGM in person. Shareholders are reminded that physical attendance at the EGM is not necessary for the purpose of exercising the voting rights. Shareholders who choose to do so should take action as soon as possible to ensure the proxy instructions reach our share registrar not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for holding the EGM.

    The Company will implement the following prevention and control measures at the EGM against the pandemic to protect the Independent Shareholders or proxies from the risk of infection:

    • . compulsory body temperature check will be conducted for every Shareholder or proxy at the entrance of the venue and anyone with abnormal body temperature may be denied entry into the venue;

    • . every Shareholder or proxy is required to bring and wear surgical face masks during their attendance of the EGM;

    • . no distribution of corporate gifts and no refreshments will be served;

    • . Shareholders or proxies who attend the EGM need to maintain a safe and appropriate social distance;

    • . hand sanitizers will be provided to the Shareholders or proxies at the EGM venue to safeguard their health and safety;

  • . there will be no Q&A session during the EGM, shareholders could choose to raise questions to the management in writing before the meeting; and

  • . other measures may be required by governmental bodies.

Any person who is in violation of the prevention and control measures or is under quarantine as required by the HKSAR Government may be denied entry into the venue.

The EGM is being held at Plaza 3-4, Lower lobby, Novotel Century Hong Kong, 238 Jaffe Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong. We understand that the hotel may refuse entry to the hotel by any person who fails the temperature check. Persons so refused entry to the hotel will not be able to attend the EGM.

As a precautionary safety measure, seating at the EGM will be arranged so as to reduce interaction between participants. As a result, there will be limited capacity for Shareholders to attend the EGM.

Shareholders are in any event asked (a) to consider carefully the risk of attending the EGM, which will be held in an enclosed environment; (b) to follow any requirements or guidelines of the HKSAR Government relating to COVID-19 in deciding whether or not to attend the EGM; and (c) not to attend the EGM if they have contracted or are suspected to have contracted COVID-19 or have been in close contact with anybody who has contracted or is suspected to have contracted COVID-19.

Due to the constantly evolving COVID-19 situation in Hong Kong, the Company may be required to change the EGM arrangements at short notice. Shareholders should constantly visit our website atwww.crbeer.com.hkfor future announcement(s) and updates on the EGM arrangements.

If a Typhoon Signal No. 8 or above is hoisted, or a Black Rainstorm Warning Signal or ''extreme conditions after super typhoons'' announced by the HKSAR Government is/are in force on the EGM date, or in the event that the COVID-19 situation requires the EGM date to be changed, the EGM will be considered to be postponed or adjourned. The Company will post an announcement on the Company's website (www.crbeer.com.hk) and the Stock Exchange's website (www.hkexnews.hk) to notify shareholders if there are any changes on the date, time and place of the EGM.

The EGM will be held as scheduled when an Amber or a Red Rainstorm Warning Signal is in force.

Shareholders should decide on their own whether they would attend the EGM under bad weather conditions bearing in mind their own situations.
