4. PROXY FORM

Since the proxy form despatched on 16 September 2021 (the "First Proxy Form") does not contain the additional resolution set out in this supplemental notice, a revised proxy form (the "Revised Proxy Form") has been prepared and is enclosed with this supplemental notice.

  1. Each Shareholder having the right to attend and vote at the EGM is entitled to appoint one or more proxies (whether a Shareholder or not) to attend and vote on his behalf. Should more than one proxy be appointed by one Shareholder, such proxy shall only exercise his voting rights on a poll.
  2. Shareholders can appoint a proxy by an instrument in writing (i.e. by using the Revised Proxy Form enclosed). The Revised Proxy Form shall be signed by the person appointing the proxy or an attorney authorized by such person in writing. If the Revised Proxy Form is signed by an attorney, the power of attorney or other documents of authorization shall be notarially certified. To be valid, the Revised Proxy Form and the notarially certified power of attorney or other documents of authorization must be delivered to the Company's registered address at No. 154 Jianshe Road, Luoyang, Henan Province, the PRC (for A shareholders), or the Company's H Shares registrar, Hong Kong Registrars Limited at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong (for H shareholders) not less than 24 hours before the time scheduled for the holding of the EGM or any adjournment thereof.
  3. Shareholders who have lodged the First Proxy Form with the Company should note that:
    1. If no Revised Proxy Form is lodged with the Company's H Share registrar, the First Proxy Form, if correctly completed, will be treated as a valid proxy form lodged by him/her. The proxy so appointed will be entitled to cast the vote at his/her discretion or to abstain from voting on any resolution properly put to the EGM except for the resolution(s) to which the Shareholder has indicated his/her voting direction in the First Proxy Form.
    2. If the Revised Proxy Form is lodged with the Company's H Share registrar not less than 24 hours before the time scheduled for the holding of the EGM or any adjournment thereof (the "Closing Time"), the Revised Proxy Form, if correctly completed, will revoke and supersede the First Proxy Form previously lodged by him/her. The Revised Proxy Form will be treated as a valid proxy form lodged by the Shareholder.
    3. If the Revised Proxy Form is lodged with Company's H Share registrar after the Closing Time, or if lodged before the Closing Time but is incorrectly completed, the proxy appointment under the Revised Proxy Form will be invalid. The proxy so appointed under the First Proxy Form, if correctly completed, will be entitled to vote in the manner as mentioned in (i) above as if no Revised Proxy Form was lodged with the Company's H Share registrar. Accordingly, Shareholders are advised to complete the Revised Proxy Form carefully and lodge the Revised Proxy Form with the Company's H Share registrar before the Closing Time.
