  - (ii) If no Second Proxy Form is lodged with the Company’s H Share registrar as at the Closing Time, the First Proxy Form will be treated as a valid form of proxy lodged by him/her if correctly completed.

  • (v) Completion and return of the First Proxy From or the Second Proxy Form will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the H Shareholders’ Class Meeting or any adjournment thereof should you so wish.

  • (4) All resolutions at the meeting will be taken by poll except where the chairman, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands pursuant to the Hong Kong Listing Rules. The results of the poll will be published on the websites of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Company in accordance with the Hong Kong Listing Rules.
