Notes:

1. Closure of register of members and eligibility for attending the EGM
   Holders of H shares of the Bank (the "H Shares") are advised that the register of members will be closed from Friday, 23 July 2021 to Thursday, 29 July 2021 (both days inclusive). Holders of H Shares whose names appear on the register of members of the Bank maintained in Hong Kong at the close of business on Thursday, 22 July 2021 are entitled to attend the EGM.
   Holders of H Shares who wish to attend the EGM but have not registered the transfer documents are required to deposit the transfer documents together with the relevant share certificates at the H Share registrar of the Bank, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at Rooms 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong at or before 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, 22 July 2021.
2. Proxy
   Shareholders entitled to attend and vote at the EGM may appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote in their stead. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Bank. The instrument appointing a proxy must be in writing under the hand of a shareholder or his attorney duly authorised in writing. If the shareholder is a corporate body, the proxy form must be either executed under its common seal or under the hand of its director(s) or duly authorised attorney(s). If the proxy form is signed by an attorney of the shareholder, the power of attorney authorising that attorney to sign or other authorisation documents must be notarised.
   To be valid, the proxy form together with the power of attorney or other authorisation document (if any) must be lodged at the H Share registrar of the Bank by hand, by post or by fax not less than 24 hours before the time fixed for holding the EGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be) by holders of H Shares. The H Share registrar of the Bank is Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, whose address is at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong (Tel: [phone], Fax: [phone]). Completion and return of the proxy form will not preclude a shareholder from attending and voting in person at the EGM if he so wishes, but in such event the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.
   In order to prevent the spread of Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) and ensure the health and safety of the Shareholders, it is suggested that Shareholders consider appointing the chairman of the meeting as his/her proxy to vote at the meeting instead of attending the EGM in person.
3. Reply Slip
   Shareholders who intend to attend the EGM in person or by proxy should return the reply slip by hand, by post or by fax to the Bank's Board of Directors' Office or Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited on or before Monday, 19 July 2021.
