  1. For determining the entitlement to the 2020 Interim Dividend, the register of members of the Company will be closed from Wednesday, 21 October 2020 to Tuesday, 27 October 2020, both dates inclusive, during which period no transfer of shares will be registered.

  2. A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the EGM may appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote on his behalf. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. Where a shareholder appoints more than one proxy, his proxies can only vote on a poll. In view of the development of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, shareholders may consider appointing the chairman of the EGM as his/her proxy to vote on the resolutions, instead of attending EGM in person.
  3. The instrument appointing a proxy must be in writing under the hand of a shareholder or his attorney duly authorised. If the shareholder is a corporation, that instrument must be either under its common seal or under the hand of its director(s) or duly authorised executive officer(s) or duly authorised attorney(ies). If that instrument is signed by an attorney of a Shareholder, the power of attorney or other authorisation document authorising that attorney to sign must be notarised.
  4. In order to be valid, the form of proxy together with the notarised power of attorney or other authorisation document (if any) must be deposited at the Secretariat of the Board at the Company's principal place of business in the PRC (for holders of the Domestic Shares) or at the H share registrar of the Company, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, (for holders of the H Shares) not less than 24 hours before the time fixed for the meeting (i.e. not later than 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, 14 October 2020 (Hong Kong time)).
  5. A vote given in accordance with the terms of an instrument of proxy shall be valid notwithstanding the death or loss of capacity of the appointer, or the revocation of the proxy or of the authority under which the form of proxy was executed, or the transfer of shares in respect of which the proxy is given, provided that no notice in writing of these matters shall have been received by the Company prior to the commencement of the EGM.
