| 4. | Attention: In respect of the resolutions 1(1) to (2), the method of cumulative voting will be adopted for the resolutions and the calculation of voting results. When you fill in the blanks entitled “Cumulative Voting”, please fill them in in accordance with the following instructions: |
| (i) | In relation to the resolutions 1(1) to (2), for every share held by you, you will have the same number of voting rights which equals to the number of directors of the Company to be elected in each resolution. For instance, if you are holding 1 million shares and 2 directors of the Company will be elected at the EGM, the aggregate number of votes which you will have will be 2 million (i.e. 1 million shares x 2 = 2 million voting shares) for the resolutions 1(1) to (2). |
| (ii) | No ballot will be cast “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” in cumulative voting. You are requested to fill in the corresponding number of votes in the “cumulative voting” column against the name of each candidate. The lowest votes will be nil and the highest will be the maximum number of votes under each resolution, and does not need to be the integral multiples of the number of shares held by you. If you mark ”✓” in the blank against the name of each candidate, you will be deemed to cast your total number of vote equally amongst the corresponding candidates. |
| (iii) | Please note that you may either cast all your votes to one of the proposed candidates, or cast them equally or differently to more than one of the proposed candidates. For example, if you are holding 1 million shares, the aggregate number of votes you have regarding the resolutions 1(1) to (2) is 2 million. You may choose to cast every 1 million votes out of the total 2 million votes equally among the 2 candidates or to cast all your votes (2 million) on one candidate; or to cast 0.5 million votes on candidate A, and cast 1.5 million votes on candidate B, etc. |
| (iv) | The total number of your votes cast on the candidates shall not exceed the aggregate number of votes to which you are entitled. |
| (v) | Please note that if the total votes cast by you on the candidates exceeds the total votes to which you are entitled, all the votes cast will become invalid and be regarded as abstain votes; if the total votes cast by you for the candidates are less than or equal to the total votes to which you are entitled, the votes are valid and the remaining votes will be regarded as abstain votes. For example, if you are holding 1 million shares, the total number of your votes which may be cast on the resolutions 1(1) to (2) is 2 million: (i) if you fill in the “cumulative voting” space under a particular candidate director of the Company with “2 million shares”, you have used up all the votes to which you are entitled, which results in you having no votes for the other candidate directors of the Company. In this case, should you fill in the blanks under the relevant resolutions of the other candidate directors of the Company with any number of shares (other than 0), all your votes on the resolutions 1(1) to (2) will be invalid; or (ii) if you fill in the “cumulative voting” space under candidate A with “0.5 million shares”, and under candidate B with “0.5 million shares” only, the 1 million votes cast by you are valid and the remaining 1 million votes will be regarded as abstain votes. |
| (vi) | Where the votes cast for a particular candidate for director of the Company are more than half of the total number of shares held by all Shareholders attending (before cumulation), such candidate shall be elected as the director of the Company. |
| 5. | This form of proxy must be signed by you or your attorney duly authorised in writing or, in the case of a legal person, must either be executed under seal or under the hand of a director or an attorney duly authorised to sign the same. If this form of proxy is signed by an attorney of the appointor, the power of attorney authorising that attorney to sign, or other document of authorisation, must be notarised. |
| 6. | Where there are joint holders of any shares, any one of such persons may vote at the EGM, either personally or by proxy, in respect of such shares as if he were solely entitled thereto. However, if more than one of such joint holders is present at the EGM, either personally or by proxy, then one of the said persons so present whose name stands first in the register of members in respect of such shall alone be entitled to vote in respect thereof. |
| 7. | To be valid, for holders of A Shares, this form of proxy, together with the notarised power of attorney or other document of authorisation (if any), must be delivered to the secretariat of the Board of the Company at Room 0610, Block C, 9 Dongzhimen North Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing, PRC (Postal code: 100007) not less than 24 hours before the time appointed for the EGM (i.e., by not later than 10:00 a.m., on Tuesday, 24 March 2020). To be valid, for holders of H shares, the above documents must be delivered to Hong Kong Registrars Limited at 17M Floor, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong within the same period. |
