For our shareholders for the EGM, our Board recommends that you vote:
• “FOR” the Adoption of the Third Amended and Restated M&A; and

Who is entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting?
Only shareholders of Class A Ordinary Shares of record at the close of business on July 8, 2026, which we refer to as the Record Date, are entitled to receive notice of, and to attend and vote (except that holders of Class A Ordinary Shares who also hold Class B Ordinary Shares are required to abstain from voting on Proposal One) at, the Class A Meeting.

A list of shareholders entitled to vote at the Meetings will be available at the Meetings, and for 10 days prior to the Meetings at the principal office of the Company.
What is the difference between holding shares as a shareholder of record and as a beneficial owner?
Shareholder of Record. If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Vstock Transfer, LLC, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the “shareholder of record.” This proxy statement has been sent directly to you by us.
Beneficial Owner. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of shares held in street name. This proxy statement has been forwarded to you by your broker, bank or nominee who is considered, with respect to those shares, the registered holder of Class A Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Shares (as the case may be) of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or nominee how to vote your shares by using the voting instructions included with your proxy materials.
How do I vote my shares?
Shareholders can vote in person at the Meetings or by proxy. If you are a shareholder of record, you have the following voting options:
• To vote by Internet — Visit www.proxyvote.com or scan the QR code on your voting card.
• To vote by Telephone — Call the telephone number on your voting card or email.
• To vote by Mail — Check the appropriate boxes on the proxy card, sign, date, and return your proxy card in the enclosed envelope.
Internet voting facilities for shareholders of record will be available 24 hours a day and will close at August 17, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., Hong Kong Time (August 16, 2026, at 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time). Have your proxy card in hand when you access the website and follow the instructions to vote your shares.
If you vote via the internet, your electronic vote authorizes the named proxies in the same manner as if you signed, dated, and returned your proxy card. If you vote via the internet, do not return your proxy card.
If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other holder of record, you will receive instructions from the holder of record. You must follow the instructions of the holder of record in order for your shares to be voted. Internet voting also will be offered to shareholders owning shares through certain banks and brokers. If your shares are not registered in your own name and you plan to vote your shares in person at the Meetings, you should contact your broker or agent to obtain a legal proxy or broker’s proxy card and bring it to the Meetings in order to vote.
If you vote by proxy, the individuals named on the proxy card (your “proxies”) will vote your shares in the manner you indicate. You may specify how your shares should be voted for each of the proposals. If you grant a proxy without indicating your voting instructions, your shares will be voted as follows:
At the Class A Meeting:
• “FOR” the Class Rights Variation Proposal.
At the EGM:
• “FOR” the Adoption of the Third Amended and Restated M&A; and
• “FOR” the Adjournment.
What constitutes a quorum?
According to the Company’s currently effective memorandum and articles of association, (i) the Class A Meeting is duly constituted if, at the commencement of the Class A Meeting, there are present in person or by proxy not less than 50 per cent of the votes of the Shares entitled to vote on Resolutions of Members to be considered at the meeting; and (ii) the EGM is duly constituted if, at the commencement of the EGM, there are present in person or by proxy not less than 50 per cent of the votes of the Shares entitled to vote on Resolutions of Members to be considered at the meeting.

What is a broker “non-vote” and what is its effect on voting?
If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and do not provide the organization that holds your shares with specific voting instructions, under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, the organization that holds your shares may generally vote on routine matters but cannot vote on non-routine matters. If the organization that holds your shares does not receive instructions from you on how to vote your shares on a non-routine matter, the organization that holds your shares does not have the authority to vote on the matter with respect to those shares. This is generally referred to as a “broker non-vote”, which will have no effect on the outcome of votes of the proposals.
How will shares be voted at the Meetings?
All resolutions put to the vote of the Meetings shall be decided by way of a poll.
What is required to approve each item?
At the Class A Meeting:
• Proposal One requires at least a majority of affirmative votes cast by the holders of the Class A Ordinary Shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Class A Meeting.
At the EGM:
• Proposal One requires at least a majority of affirmative votes cast by the holders of the Ordinary Shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the EGM.
• Proposal Two requires at least a majority of affirmative votes cast by the holders of the Ordinary Shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the EGM.
For the purpose of determining whether the shareholders have approved Proposal One at the Class A Meeting, and Proposals One at the EGM, abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will not be counted as votes cast and will not affect the outcome of these Proposals. Abstentions will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum present.
For the purpose of determining whether the shareholders have approved Proposal Two at the EGM, abstentions, if any, will not be counted as votes cast and will not affect the outcome of this Proposal, although they will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum present. If shareholders hold their shares through a broker, bank or other nominee and do not instruct them how to vote, the broker may have authority to vote the shares for Proposal Two, which is considered a routine matter.
How will Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares represented by properly executed proxies be voted?
The Class A Ordinary Shares (in case of the Class A Meeting) and Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares (in case of the EGM) represented by proper proxies will, unless such proxies have previously been revoked, be voted in accordance with the instructions indicated in such proxies. If you do not provide voting instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the Board’s recommendations as set forth herein. Each Class A Ordinary Share as of the Record Date entitles the holder thereof to one (1) vote for each of the proposals at the Class A Meeting and the EGM and each Class B Ordinary Share as of the Record Date entitles the holders thereof to twenty (20) votes for each of the proposals at the EGM.
Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?
Any shareholder executing a proxy has the power to revoke such proxy at any time prior to its exercise. You may revoke your proxy prior to exercise by:
• filing with us a written notice of revocation of your proxy,
• submitting a properly signed proxy card bearing a later date,
• voting over the Internet, or
• voting in person at the Meetings.
3
What does it mean if I receive more than one set of proxy materials?
If your shares are registered under different names or are in more than one account, you may receive more than one set of proxy materials. To ensure that all your shares are voted, please vote through the Internet using each personal identification number you are provided, or complete, sign and date the multiple proxy cards relating to your multiple accounts. We encourage you whenever possible to have all accounts registered in the same name and address. You can accomplish this by contacting our transfer agent, Vstock Transfer, LLC at 212-828-8436.
Who paid for this proxy solicitation?
The cost of preparing, printing, assembling and mailing this proxy statement and other material furnished to shareholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies is borne by us.
How do I learn the results of the voting at the Meetings?
Preliminary results will be announced at the Meetings. Final results will be published in a Report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC.
How are proxies solicited?
In addition to the mail solicitation of proxies, our officers, directors, employees and agents may solicit proxies by written communication, telephone or personal call. These persons will receive no special compensation for any solicitation activities. We will reimburse banks, brokers and other persons holding Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares for their expenses in forwarding proxy solicitation materials to beneficial owners of our Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares.
What is “householding?”
“Householding” means that we deliver a single set of proxy materials when requested to households with multiple shareholders, provided certain conditions are met. Householding reduces our printing and mailing costs.
If you or another shareholder of record sharing your address would like to receive an additional copy of the proxy materials, we will promptly deliver it to you upon your request by sending a written request by mail to:
Mint Incorporation Limited
17/F, Wing Kwok Centre, No.182 Woosung Street, Jordan, Kowloon, Hong Kong
If you would like to opt out of householding in future mailings, or if you are currently receiving multiple mailings at one address and would like to request householder mailings, you may do so by contacting our Corporate Secretary as indicated above.
Can I receive future shareholder communications electronically through the Internet?
Yes. You may elect to receive future notices of meetings, proxy materials and annual reports electronically through the Internet. To consent to electronic delivery, vote your shares using the Internet. At the end of the Internet voting procedure, the on-screen Internet voting instructions will tell you how to request future shareholder communications be sent to you electronically.
Once you consent to electronic delivery, you must vote your shares using the Internet and your consent will remain in effect until withdrawn. You may withdraw this consent at any time during the voting process and resume receiving shareholder communications in print form.
Whom may I contact for further assistance?
If you have any questions about giving your proxy or require any assistance, please contact us by mail, to:
Mint Incorporation Limited
17/F, Wing Kwok Centre, No.182 Woosung Street,
Jordan, Kowloon, Hong Kong

CLASS A MEETING
PROPOSAL ONE
APPROVAL OF VARIATION OF VOTING RIGHTS ATTACHING TO CLASS B ORDINARY SHARES
General
We recommend the holders of the Class A Ordinary Shares to approve that, subject to the class consent from the holders of the Class B Ordinary Shares, the voting rights attached to each Class B Ordinary Share be increased from twenty (20) votes to two hundred (200) votes on all matters subject to vote at general meetings of the Company.
Background and Rationale
The Board believes that the proposed Class Rights Variation is in the commercial and best interests of the Company and its shareholders and for proper purposes. This is intended to support the Company’s strategic objectives and to provide flexibility in the Company’s capital structure. For the purposes of good corporate practice and protecting interests of minority shareholders, consent from the holders of the Class A Ordinary Shares obtained at a class meeting is recommended. Holders of Class A Ordinary Shares who also hold Class B Ordinary Shares are required to abstain from voting on Proposal One of the Class A Meeting.
Vote Required
Proposal One at the Class A Meeting requires at least a majority of affirmative votes cast by the holders of the Class A Ordinary Shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Class A Meeting. Abstentions or broker non-votes, if any, will not be counted as votes cast and will not affect the outcome of this proposal, although they will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum present.
Board of Directors’ Recommendation
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE CLASS A SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THIS PROPOSAL

EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
PROPOSAL ONE
ADOPTION OF THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION
General
We recommend shareholders to approve that, subject to (i) the separate class consents from both the holders of Class A Ordinary Shares and the holders of Class B Ordinary Shares to the proposed Class Rights Variation and (ii) the corporate approval for the proposed Increase of Authorized Shares, the third amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company (the “Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”), in the substantial form attached as Appendix A to the notice of EGM, be adopted in its entirety and in substitution for and to the exclusion of, the current memorandum and articles of association of the Company.
Potential Effects
If shareholders approve this proposal, the adoption of the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association will become effective upon completion of the required filings with the Registrar of Corporate Affaires Companies of the British Virgin Islands.
Vote Required
Proposal One at the EGM requires at least a majority of affirmative votes cast by the holders of the Ordinary Shares entitled to vote thereon and present at the EGM. Abstentions or broker non-votes, if any, will not be counted as votes cast and will not affect the outcome of this proposal, although they will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum present.

PROPOSAL TWO
ADJOURNMENT OF THE EGM TO A LATER DATE OR DATES, IF NECESSARY, TO PERMIT FURTHER SOLICITATION AND VOTE OF PROXIES IN THE EVENT THAT THERE ARE INSUFFICIENT VOTES FOR, OR OTHERWISE IN CONNECTION WITH, THE APPROVAL OF ALL THE RESOLUTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY PROPOSAL ONE.
Proposal Two, if adopted, will allow the chairman of the EGM to adjourn the EGM to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation of proxies. The Adjournment Proposal will only be presented to our shareholders in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the other proposal.
If Proposal Two is not approved by our shareholders, the chairman of the EGM may not be able to adjourn the EGM to a later date in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of all the resolutions contemplated by Proposal One.
Vote Required
Proposal Two requires at least a majority of affirmative votes cast by holders of the Ordinary Shares entitled to vote thereon and present at the EGM. Abstentions, if any, will not be counted as votes cast and will not affect the outcome of this proposal, although they will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum present. If shareholders hold their shares through a broker, bank or other nominee and do not instruct them how to vote, the broker may have authority to vote the shares for Proposal Two, which is considered a routine matter.
Board of Directors’ Recommendation
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THIS PROPOSAL

Third Amended and Restated
Articles of Association
of
Mint Incorporation Limited
a company limited by shares
(Adopted by a resolution of directors passed on […] 2026 and filed on […] 2026)
1 Registered Shares
1.1 The Company may issue certificates signed by a Director of the Company or under the Seal specifying the number of Shares held by a Member (and the signature of the Director and the Seal may be facsimiles) if the Board of Directors so resolves by a Resolution of Directors. Every certificate shall bear legends required under the applicable laws, including the U.S. Securities Act (to the extent applicable).
1.2 Any Member receiving a certificate shall indemnify and hold the Company and its Directors and officers harmless from any loss or liability which it or they may incur by reason of any wrongful or fraudulent use or representation made by any person by virtue of the possession thereof. If a certificate for Shares is worn out or lost it may be renewed on production of the worn out certificate or on satisfactory proof of its loss together with such indemnity as may be required by a Resolution of Directors.
1.3 If several Eligible Persons are registered as joint holders of any Shares, any one of such Eligible Persons may give an effectual receipt for any Distribution.
1.4 Nothing in these Articles shall require title to any Shares or other Securities to be evidenced by a certificate if the Act and the rules of the Designated Stock Exchange on which the Shares or other Securities are listed (if so listed) permit otherwise.
1.5 Subject to the Act and the rules of the Designated Stock Exchange on which any Shares or other Securities may be listed (if so listed), the Board of Directors without further consultation with the holders of any Shares or Securities may resolve that any class or series of Shares or other Securities in issue or to be issued from time to time may be issued, registered or converted to uncertificated form and be subject to the practices instituted by the operator of the relevant system. No provision of these Articles will apply to any uncertificated shares or Securities to the extent that they are inconsistent with the holding of such shares or securities in uncertificated form or the transfer of title to any such shares or securities by means of a relevant system.
1.6 Conversion of Shares held in certificated form into Shares held in uncertificated form, and vice versa, may be made in such manner as the Board of Directors, in its absolute discretion, may think fit (subject always to the requirements of the relevant system concerned). The Company or any duly authorised transfer agent shall enter on the Register of Members how many Shares are held by each member in uncertificated form and certificated form and shall maintain the register of members in each case as is required by the relevant system concerned. Notwithstanding any provision of these Articles, a class or series of Shares shall not be treated as two classes by virtue only of that class or series comprising both certificated shares and uncertificated shares or as a result of any provision of these Articles which applies only in respect of certificated shares or uncertificated shares.
1.7 Nothing contained in Regulations 1.5 and 1.6 is meant to prohibit the Shares from being able to trade electronically.

The Directors may issue options, warrants, rights or convertible securities or securities or a similar nature conferring the right upon the holders thereof to subscribe for, purchase or receive any class of Shares or Securities on such terms as the Directors may from time to time determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Directors may also issue options, warrants, other rights to acquire shares or convertible securities on such terms and in such manner as the Directors may determine.

(a) each of them may be present in person or by proxy at a meeting of Members and may speak as a Member;
(b) if only one of the joint owners is present in person or by proxy they may vote on behalf of all joint owners; and
(c) if two or more of the joint owners are present in person or by proxy they must vote as one and in the event of disagreement between any of the joint owners of Shares then the vote of the joint owner whose name appears first (or earliest) in the Register of Members in respect of the relevant Shares shall be recorded as the vote attributable to the Shares.
8.13 A Member shall be deemed to be present at a meeting of Members if he participates by telephone or other electronic means and the meeting itself may be held generally by electronic means, provided that in all such cases all Members participating in the meeting are able to hear each other. All persons seeking to attend and participate in a meeting at a virtual place shall be responsible for maintaining adequate facilities to enable them to do so, and any inability of a person or persons to attend or participate in meeting by way of digital or Electronic Communications equipment or software or other facilities shall not invalidate the proceedings of that meeting.
8.14 A meeting of Members is duly constituted if, at the commencement of the meeting, there are present in person or by proxy not less than 50 per cent of the votes of the Shares entitled to vote on Resolutions of Members to be considered at the meeting. If the Company has two or more classes of Shares, a meeting may be quorate for some purposes and not for others. A quorum may comprise a single Member or proxy and then such person may pass a Resolution of Members and a certificate signed by such person accompanied where such person holds a proxy by a copy of the proxy instrument shall constitute a valid Resolution of Members.
8.15 If within two hours from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened upon the requisition of Members, shall be dissolved; in any other case it shall stand adjourned to the next business day in the jurisdiction in which the meeting was to have been held at the same time and place or to such other time and place as the Directors may determine, and if at the adjourned meeting there are present within one hour from the time appointed for the meeting in person or by proxy not less than one third of the votes of the Shares or each class or series of Shares entitled to vote on the matters to be considered by the meeting, those present shall constitute a quorum but otherwise the meeting shall either be dissolved or stand further adjourned at the discretion of the Chairman of the Board or, if different, the chairman of the meeting.
8.16 At every meeting of Members, the Chairman of the Board or their nominee shall preside as chairman of the meeting. The chairman of the meeting shall be deemed to be present in person at the meeting if he or she participates by telephone or other electronic means and all Members participating in the meeting are able to communicate with the chairman of the meeting. If there is no Chairman of the Board or if the Chairman of the Board or their nominee is not present at the meeting, either physically in person, by telephone or other electronic means, if appropriate, the Members present shall choose one of their number to be the chairman.
A-13
If the Members are unable to choose a chairman for any reason, then the person representing the greatest number of voting Shares present in person or by proxy at the meeting shall preside as chairman failing which the oldest individual Member or representative of a Member present shall take the chair.
8.17 The chairman may adjourn any meeting from time to time, and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. For the avoidance of doubt, a meeting can be adjourned for as many times as may be determined to be necessary by the chairman and a meeting may remain open indefinitely for as long a period as may be determined by the chairman.
8.18 At any meeting of the Members the chairman of the meeting is responsible for deciding in such manner as he considers appropriate whether any resolution proposed has been carried or not and the result of his decision shall be announced to the meeting and recorded in the minutes of the meeting. If the chairman has any doubt as to the outcome of the vote on a proposed resolution, he shall cause a poll to be taken of all votes cast upon such resolution. If the chairman fails to take a poll then any Member present in person or by proxy who disputes the announcement by the chairman of the result of any vote may immediately following such announcement demand that a poll be taken and the chairman shall cause a poll to be taken. If a poll is taken at any meeting, the result shall be announced to the meeting and recorded in the minutes of the meeting.
8.19 Subject to the specific provisions contained in this Regulation for the appointment of representatives of Members other than individuals the right of any individual to speak for or represent a Member shall be determined by the law of the jurisdiction where, and by the documents by which, the Member is constituted or derives its existence. In case of doubt, the Directors may in good faith seek legal advice and unless and until a court of competent jurisdiction shall otherwise rule, the Directors may rely and act upon such advice without incurring any liability to any Member or the Company.
8.20 Any Member who is not a natural person may by resolution of its Directors or other governing body authorise such individual as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of Members or of any class of Members, and the individual so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same rights on behalf of the Member which he represents as that Member could exercise if it were an individual.
8.21 The chairman of any meeting at which a vote is cast by proxy or on behalf of any Member other than an individual may at the meeting but not thereafter call for a notarially certified copy of such proxy or authority which shall be produced within seven (7) calendar days of being so requested or the votes cast by such proxy or on behalf of such Member shall be disregarded.
8.22 Directors of the Company may attend and speak at any meeting of Members and at any separate meeting of the holders of any class or series of Shares.
8.23 An action that may be taken by the Members at a meeting may also be taken by a Resolution of Members consented to in writing, without the need for any prior notice. If any Resolution of Members is adopted otherwise than by the unanimous written consent of all Members, a copy of such resolution shall forthwith be sent to all Members not consenting to such resolution. The consent may be in the form of counterparts, each counterpart being signed by one or more Members. If the consent is in one or more counterparts, and the counterparts bear different dates, then the resolution shall take effect on the earliest date upon which Eligible Persons holding a sufficient number of votes of Shares to constitute a Resolution of Members have consented to the resolution by signed counterparts.

(c) the date on which each person named as a Director ceased to be a Director of the Company; and
(d) such other information as may be prescribed by the Act.
9.11 The register of directors may be kept in any such form as the Directors may approve, but if it is in magnetic, electronic or other data storage form, the Company must be able to produce legible evidence of its contents. Until a Resolution of Directors determining otherwise is passed, the magnetic, electronic or other data storage shall be the original register of directors.
9.12 The Directors or, if the Shares (or depository receipts therefor) are listed or quoted on any Designated Stock Exchange and if required by the rules of such Designated Stock Exchange, any committee thereof, may, by a Resolution of Directors, fix the emoluments of Directors with respect to services to be rendered in any capacity to the Company.
9.13 A Director is not required to hold a Share as a qualification to office.
10 Powers of directors
10.1 The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by, or under the direction or supervision of, the Directors of the Company. The Directors of the Company have all the powers necessary for managing, and for directing and supervising, the business and affairs of the Company. The Directors may pay all expenses incurred preliminary to and in connection with the incorporation of the Company and may exercise all such powers of the Company as are not by the Act or by the Memorandum or the Articles required to be exercised by the Members.
A-15
10.2 If the Company is the wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company, a Director of the Company may, when exercising powers or performing duties as a Director, act in a manner which he believes is in the best interests of the holding company even though it may not be in the best interests of the Company.
10.3 If the Company is a subsidiary, but not a wholly owned subsidiary, of a holding company, and the shareholders other than the holding company agree in advance, a Director of the Company may, when exercising powers or performing duties as a Director in connection with the carrying out of the joint venture, act in a manner which he believes is in the best interests of a Member or some Members even though it may not be in the best interests of the Company.
10.4 If the Company is carrying out a joint venture between shareholders, a Director of the Company may, when exercising powers or performing duties as a Director, act in a manner which he believes is in the best interests of the holding company even though it may not be in the best interests of the Company.
10.5 Each Director shall exercise his powers for a proper purpose and shall not act or agree to the Company acting in a manner that contravenes the Memorandum, the Articles or the Act. Each Director, in exercising his powers or performing his duties, shall act honestly and in good faith in what the Director believes to be the best interests of the Company.
10.6 Any Director which is a body corporate may appoint any individual as its duly authorised representative for the purpose of representing it at meetings of the Directors, with respect to the signing of consents or otherwise.
10.7 The continuing Directors may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body.
10.8 The Directors may by Resolution of Directors exercise all the powers of the Company to incur indebtedness, liabilities or obligations and to secure indebtedness, liabilities or obligations whether of the Company or of any third party.
10.9 All cheques, promissory notes, drafts, bills of exchange and other negotiable instruments and all receipts for moneys paid to the Company shall be signed, drawn, accepted, endorsed or otherwise executed, as the case may be, in such manner as shall from time to time be determined by Resolution of Directors.
10.10 Section 175 of the Act shall not apply to the Company.
11 Proceedings of directors
11.1 Any one Director of the Company may call a meeting of the Directors by sending a written notice to each other Director.
11.2 The Directors of the Company or any committee thereof may meet at such times and in such manner and places within or outside the British Virgin Islands as the notice calling the meeting provides.
11.3 A Director is deemed to be present at a meeting of Directors if he participates by telephone or other electronic means and all Directors participating in the meeting are able to hear each other.
11.4 A Director shall be given not less than three (3) calendar days’ notice of meetings of Directors, but a meeting of Directors held without three (3) calendar days’ notice having been given to all Directors shall be valid if all the Directors entitled to vote at the meeting who do not attend waive notice of the meeting, and for this purpose the presence of a Director at a meeting shall constitute waiver by that Director. The inadvertent failure to give notice of a meeting to a Director, or the fact that a Director has not received the notice, does not invalidate the meeting.
11.5 A meeting of Directors is duly constituted for all purposes if at the commencement of the meeting there are present in person or by alternate not less than one-half of the total number of Directors, unless there are only two (2) Directors in which case the quorum is two (2).
11.6 A Director may by a written instrument appoint an alternate who need not be a Director and the alternate shall be entitled to attend meetings in the absence of the Director who appointed him and to vote or consent in place of the Director until the appointment lapses or is terminated.
A-16
11.7 If the Company has only one Director the provisions herein contained for meetings of Directors do not apply and such sole Director has full power to represent and act for the Company in all matters as are not by the Act, the Memorandum or the Articles required to be exercised by the Members. In lieu of minutes of a meeting the sole Director shall record in writing and sign a note or memorandum of all matters requiring a Resolution of Directors. Such a note or memorandum constitutes sufficient evidence of such resolution for all purposes.
11.8 At meetings of Directors at which the Chairman of the Board is present, he shall preside as chairman of the meeting. If there is no Chairman of the Board or if the Chairman of the Board is not present, the Directors present shall choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting. If the Directors are unable to choose a chairman for any reason, then the oldest individual Director present (and for this purpose an alternate director shall be deemed to be the same age as the Director that he represents) shall take the chair.
11.9 An action that may be taken by the Directors or a committee of Directors at a meeting may also be taken by a Resolution of Directors or a resolution of a committee of Directors consented to in writing by all Directors or by all members of the committee, as the case may be, without the need for any notice. The consent may be in the form of counterparts each counterpart being signed by one or more Directors. If the consent is in one or more counterparts, and the counterparts bear different dates, then the resolution shall take effect on the date upon which the last Director has consented to the resolution by signed counterparts.
12 Committees
12.1 The Directors may, by Resolution of Directors, designate one or more committees, each consisting of one or more Directors, and delegate one or more of their powers, authorities and discretions, including without limitation, the power to affix the Seal and the power to sub-delegate, to any committee consisting of one or more Directors (including, without limitation, the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating Committee). Any such delegation may be made subject to any conditions the Directors may impose and either collaterally with or to the exclusion of their own powers and any such delegation may be revoked or altered by the Directors. Subject to any such conditions, the proceedings of a committee of Directors shall be governed by the Articles regulating the proceedings of Directors, so far as they are capable of applying.
12.2 The Directors may establish any committees, local boards or agencies or appoint any person to be a manager or agent for managing the affairs of the Company and may appoint any person to be a member of such committees, local boards or agencies. Any such appointment may be made subject to any conditions the Directors may impose, and either collaterally with or to the exclusion of their own powers and any such appointment may be revoked or altered by the Directors. Subject to any such conditions, the proceedings of any such committee, local board or agency shall be governed by the Articles regulating the proceedings of Directors, so far as they are capable of applying.
12.3 The Directors may adopt formal written charters for committees and, if so adopted, shall review and assess the adequacy of such formal written charters on an annual basis. Each of these committees shall be empowered to do all things necessary to exercise the rights of such committee set forth in the Articles and shall have such powers as the Directors may delegate pursuant to the Articles and as required by the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under applicable law. Each of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating Committee, if established, shall consist of such number of Directors as the Directors shall from time to time determine for such minimum number as may be required from time to time by the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under applicable law). For so long as any class of Shares is listed on the Designated Stock Exchange, the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, if established, shall be made up of such number of Independent Directors as is required from time to time by the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under applicable law.
12.4 Where the Directors delegate their powers to a committee of Directors they remain responsible for the exercise of that power by the committee, unless they believed on reasonable grounds at all times before the exercise of the power that the committee would exercise the power in conformity with the duties imposed on Directors of the Company under the Act.
A-17
12.5 The Directors have no power to delegate to a committee of Directors any of the following powers:
(a) to amend the Memorandum or the Articles;
(b) to designate committees of Directors;
(c) to delegate powers to a committee of Directors;
(d) to appoint Directors;
(e) to appoint an agent;
(f) to approve a plan of merger, consolidation or arrangement; or
(g) to make a declaration of solvency or to approve a liquidation plan.
12.6 Regulations 12.5(b) and 12.5(c) do not prevent a committee of Directors, where authorised by the Resolution of Directors appointing such committee or by a subsequent Resolution of Directors, from appointing a sub-committee and delegating powers exercisable by the committee to the sub-committee.
12.7 The meetings and proceedings of each committee of Directors consisting of two (2) or more Directors shall be governed mutatis mutandis by the provisions of the Articles regulating the proceedings of Directors so far as the same are not superseded by any provisions in the Resolution of Directors establishing the committee.
13 Officers and agents
13.1 The Company may by Resolution of Directors appoint officers of the Company at such times as may be considered necessary or expedient. Such officers may consist of a Chairman of the Board of Directors (the Chairman of the Board), a Chief Executive Officer, a President, a Chief Financial Officer, one or more vice-presidents, secretaries and treasurers and such other officers as may from time to time be considered necessary or expedient. Any number of offices may be held by the same person.
13.2 The officers shall perform such duties as are prescribed at the time of their appointment subject to any modification in such duties as may be prescribed thereafter by Resolution of Directors. In the absence of any specific prescription of duties it shall be the responsibility of the Chairman of the Board to preside at meetings of Directors and Members, the Chief Executive Officer to manage the day to day affairs of the Company, the vice-presidents to act in order of seniority in the absence of the Chief Executive Officer but otherwise to perform such duties as may be delegated to them by the Chief Executive Officer, the secretaries to maintain the Register of Members, minute books and records (other than financial records) of the Company and to ensure compliance with all procedural requirements imposed on the Company by applicable law, and the treasurer to be responsible for the financial affairs of the Company.
13.3 The emoluments of all officers shall be fixed by Resolution of Directors.
13.4 The officers of the Company shall hold office until their death, resignation or removal. Any officer elected or appointed by the Directors may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by Resolution of Directors. Any vacancy occurring in any office of the Company may be filled by Resolution of Directors.
13.5 The Directors may, by a Resolution of Directors, appoint any person, including a person who is a Director, to be an agent of the Company. An agent of the Company shall have such powers and authority of the Directors, including the power and authority to affix the Seal, as are set forth in the Articles or in the Resolution of Directors appointing the agent, except that no agent has any power or authority with respect to the matters specified in Regulation 12.5. The Resolution of Directors appointing an agent may authorise the agent to appoint one or more substitutes or delegates to exercise some or all of the powers conferred on the agent by the Company. The Directors may remove an agent appointed by the Company and may revoke or vary a power conferred on him.
A-18
14 Conflict of interests
14.1 A Director of the Company shall, forthwith after becoming aware of the fact that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the Company, disclose the interest to all other Directors of the Company.
14.2 For the purposes of Regulation 14.1, a disclosure to all other Directors to the effect that a Director is a member, Director or officer of another named entity or has a fiduciary relationship with respect to the entity or a named individual and is to be regarded as interested in any transaction which may, after the date of the entry or disclosure, be entered into with that entity or individual, is a sufficient disclosure of interest in relation to that transaction.
14.3 A Director of the Company who is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the Company may:
(a) vote on a matter relating to the transaction;
(b) attend a meeting of Directors at which a matter relating to the transaction arises and be included among the Directors present at the meeting for the purposes of a quorum; and
(c) sign a document on behalf of the Company, or do any other thing in his capacity as a Director, that relates to the transaction,
and, subject to compliance with the Act shall not, by reason of his office be accountable to the Company for any benefit which he derives from such transaction and no such transaction shall be liable to be avoided on the grounds of any such interest or benefit.
15 Indemnification
15.1 Subject to the limitations hereinafter provided the Company may indemnify against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings any person who:
(a) is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a Director of the Company; or
(b) is or was, at the request of the Company, serving as a Director of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another company or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.
15.2 The Company may only indemnify a person pursuant to Regulation 15.1 if the person acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the person had no reasonable cause to believe that their conduct was unlawful.
15.3 The decision of the Directors as to whether the person acted honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Company and as to whether the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful is, in the absence of fraud, sufficient for the purposes of the Articles, unless a question of law is involved.
15.4 The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement, conviction or the entering of a nolle prosequi does not, by itself, create a presumption that the person did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Company or that the person had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
15.5 The Company may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any person who is or was a Director, officer or liquidator of the Company, or who at the request of the Company is or was serving as a Director, officer or liquidator of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another company or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against the person and incurred by the person in that capacity, whether or not the Company has or would have had the power to indemnify the person against the liability as provided in the Articles.
