Each of the Class A Ordinary Shares in issue on the Record Date is entitled to one vote, and each of the Class B Ordinary Shares in issue on the Record Date is entitled to 1.3 votes. A resolution put to the vote at the AGM will be decided on by a show of hands unless (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands or on the withdrawal of any other demand for a poll) a poll is demanded by (i) the chairman of the AGM, or (ii) any one shareholder present in person or in the case of a shareholder being a corporation by its duly authorized representative or by proxy for the time being entitled to vote at the AGM.
Copies of solicitation materials will be furnished to all holders of Ordinary Shares of the Company, including banks, brokerage houses, fiduciaries and custodians holding in their names the Ordinary Shares or ADSs beneficially owned by others to forward to those beneficial owners.
Voting by Holders of Ordinary Shares
When proxies are properly dated, executed and returned by holders of Ordinary Shares, the Ordinary Shares they represent will be voted at the AGM, or at any adjournment thereof, in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder. If no specific instructions are given by such holders, the proxy holder will vote or abstain at his/her discretion, as he/she will on any other matters that may properly come before the AGM, or at any adjournment thereof. Abstentions by holders of Ordinary Shares are included in the determination of the number of Ordinary Shares present and voting but are not counted as votes for or against a proposal.
Voting by Holders of ADSs
We have requested JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as depositary of the ADSs, to mail to all owners of ADSs this proxy statement, the accompanying notice of annual general meeting and an ADR Voting Instruction Card. Upon the timely receipt from an owner of record of ADSs of written voting instructions in the manner specified, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. will endeavor, to the extent practicable and legally permissible, to vote or cause to be voted the number of Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the ADSs, evidenced by American Depositary Receipts related to those ADSs, in accordance with such voting instructions. Under the terms of the deposit agreement, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. will not vote or attempt to exercise the right to vote other than in accordance with such voting instructions or such deemed instructions as further described two paragraphs below. As the holder of record for all the Class A Ordinary Shares represented by the ADSs, only JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. may vote those Class A Ordinary Shares at the AGM.
There is no guarantee that holders of the ADSs or any such holder in particular will receive the notice described above with sufficient time to enable such holder to return any voting instructions to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. in a timely manner, in which case the Class A Ordinary Shares underlying your ADSs may not be voted in accordance with your wishes.
If no ADR Voting Instruction Card is received by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. from a holder of ADSs by 12:00 p.m. (New York City time), August 10, 2021, such holder shall be deemed, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. will deem such holder of ADSs to have instructed it to give a discretionary proxy to the chairman of the AGM to vote the Class A Ordinary Shares represented by your ADSs in favor of each proposal recommended by our board of directors and against each proposal opposed by our board of directors, unless the Company has informed JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. that such proxy should not be given, in accordance with the terms of the deposit agreement.
