Notes:

  1. The Register of Unitholders will be closed from Tuesday, 21 April 2020 to Friday, 24 April 2020, both days inclusive, to determine which Unitholders will qualify to attend and vote at the AGM, during which period no transfers of Units will be effected. For those Unitholders who are not already on the Register of Unitholders, in order to qualify to attend and vote at the meeting convened by the above notice, all Unit certificates accompanied by the duly completed transfers must be lodged with the unit registrar of Fortune REIT, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong for registration by 4:30 p.m. on Monday, 20 April 2020.
  2. A Unitholder entitled to attend and vote at the meeting convened by the above notice is entitled to appoint one or two proxies to attend and, on a poll, vote in his/her stead. The person appointed to act as a proxy need not to be a Unitholder.
