PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

In view of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and recent requirements for prevention and control of its spread (as per guidelines issued by the Hong Kong government at www.chp.gov.hk/en/features/102742.html and the directions under the Prevention and Control of Disease (Prohibition on Group Gathering) Regulations, the Company will implement necessary preventive measures at the Annual General Meeting to protect attending Shareholders, Directors, proxies and other attendees from the risk of infection, including:

  1. Compulsory body temperature check will be conducted on every Shareholder, proxy and other attendees at the entrance of the Annual General Meeting venue. Any person with a body temperature of over 37.2 degrees Celsius, or is exhibiting flu-like symptoms may be denied entry into the Annual General Meeting venue or be required to leave the Annual General Meeting venue.
  2. Attendees are required to wear surgical face masks inside the Annual General Meeting venue at all times.
  3. To maintain a safe distance between seats and as such, the Company may limit the number of attendees at the Annual General Meeting as may be necessary to avoid over-crowding.
  4. No refreshments or drinks will be served.

Attendees who do not comply with the precautionary measures (1) and (2) above may be denied entry into the Annual General Meeting venue, at the absolute discretion of the Company as permitted by law, or be required to leave the Annual General Meeting venue in order to ensure the safety of the attendees at the Annual General Meeting.

In the interest of all attendees' health and safety, the Company wishes to advise all Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the Annual General Meeting is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights. As an alternative, by using proxy forms with voting instructions duly completed, Shareholders may appoint the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting as their proxy to vote on the relevant resolutions at the Annual General Meeting instead of attending the Annual General Meeting in person.

The proxy form is attached to this circular and can be downloaded from the Company's website (http://www.goodfriend.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.
