- where the SCI Directors decide not to distribute the SCM Shares to any Overseas Shareholders, arrangements be made for the distribution of the SCM Shares which would otherwise be distributed to such Overseas SCI Shareholders pursuant to the Proposed Distribution to such person(s) as the SCI Directors may appoint to sell such SCM Shares and thereafter the net proceeds of such sale, after deducting for all dealings and other expenses in connection therewith, shall be distributed proportionately among such Overseas SCI Shareholders according to their respective entitlements to the SCM Shares as at the SCI Record Date in full satisfaction of their rights to the SCM Shares which they would otherwise have become entitled to under the Proposed Distribution;
- the SCI Directors and/or any of them be and are hereby authorised to determine the amount to be appropriated out of the retained profits and/or distributable reserves of the Company to meet the value of the SCM Shares to be distributed to the SCI Shareholders based on the value of the SCM Shares on the Completion Date;
- any resultant fractional SCM Shares be aggregated and held by the Company for future disposal, and the SCI Directors and/or any of them be and are hereby authorised to deal with the SCM Shares remaining with the Company after the Proposed Distribution in such manner as they deem fit; and
- the SCI Directors and/or any of them be and are hereby authorised to do all acts and things and to execute all such documents (including, but not limited to, any share transfer form for and on behalf of any SCI Shareholder who holds SCI Shares in scrip form for the purposes of effecting the Proposed Distribution) as they or he or she may consider necessary or expedient to give effect to the transactions contemplated and/or authorised by this Resolution."
