Shareholders are reminded to visit the websites of the Company (www.everchina202.com.hk) and Hong Kong Exchange Clearing Limited (www.hkex.com.hk) for announcement(s) in relation to the aforesaid arrangements.
    The 2020 AGM 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 meeting under bad weather condition bearing in mind their own situations.
  2. As at the date of this notice, the board of directors of the Company consists of Mr. Jiang Zhaobai, Mr. Lam Cheung Shing, Richard, Mr. Chen Yi, Ethan and Mr. Shen Angang (all being executive directors), and Mr. Ho Yiu Yue, Louis, Mr. Ko Ming Tung, Edward and Professor Shan Zhemin (all being independent non-executive directors).
  3. The health of our Shareholders, staff and stakeholders is of paramount importance to us. In view of the ongoing Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Company will implement the following precautionary measures at the 2020 AGM to protect attending Shareholders, staff and stakeholders from the risk of infection:
    1. Compulsory body temperature checks will be conducted for every shareholder, proxy or other attendee at each entrance of the meeting venue. Any person with a body temperature of over 37.4 degrees Celsius will be denied entry into the meeting venue or be required to leave the meeting venue.
    2. Compulsory wearing of surgical face mask by all attendees throughout the meeting and inside the meeting venue, and to maintain a safe distance between seats.
    3. No refreshment will be served, and there will be no corporate gift.
    4. Each attendee will be asked whether (a) he/she has travelled outside of Hong Kong within the 14- day period immediately before the Annual General Meeting; and (b) he/she is subject to any quarantine prescribed by the Hong Kong Government. Anyone with an affirmative answer to any of these questions will be denied entry into the meeting venue and will be required to leave the meeting venue.

To the extent permitted under the laws of Hong Kong, the Company reserves the right to deny entry into the AGM venue or require any person to leave the AGM venue so as to ensure the health and safety of the attendees at the AGM.

In addition, the Company reminds all Shareholders that attendance in person at the meeting is not compulsory for the purpose of exercising voting rights. Shareholders may appoint the chairman of the meeting as their proxy to vote on the relevant resolution(s) at the meeting instead of attending the meeting in person, by completing and returning the proxy form attached to this circular. Alternatively, the form of proxy can be downloaded from the Company's website at www.everchina202.com.hk and the HKEXnews website at www.hkexnews.hk. If you are not a registered Shareholder (if your Shares are held via banks, brokers, custodians or the Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited), you should consult directly with your banks or brokers or custodians (as the case may be) to assist you in the appointment of proxy.

Subject to the development of COVID-19, the Company may be required to change the AGM arrangements at short notice. Shareholders should check the Company's website for further announcements and updates on the AGM arrangements.
