7. IMPORTANT: If you have not yet lodged the old proxy form which was sent to you together with the Notice (the “Old Proxy Form”) with the Company’s registrar, you are requested to lodge this new proxy form if you wish to appoint proxies to attend the EGM on your behalf. In this case, the Old Proxy Form should not be lodged with the Company’s registrar.

 

8. IMPORTANT: If you have already lodged the Old Proxy Form with the Company’s registrar, you should note that:

 

  (i) If this new proxy form is not lodged with the Company’s registrar, the Old Proxy Form will be treated as a valid proxy form lodged by you if correctly completed. The proxy so appointed by you will be entitled to vote at his or her discretion or to abstain on any resolution properly put to the EGM other than those referred to in the Notice and the Old Proxy Form, including the newly added resolution as set out in the Supplemental Notice.

This new proxy form will be treated as a valid proxy form lodged by you if correctly completed.

 

  (iii) If this new proxy form is lodged with the Company’s registrar after the Closing Time as mentioned in point 6 above, this new proxy form will be invalid. However, it will revoke the Old Proxy Form previously lodged by you, and any vote that may be cast by the purported proxy (whether appointed under the Old Proxy Form or this new proxy form) will not be counted in any poll which may be taken on a proposed resolution. Accordingly, you are advised not to lodge this new proxy form after the Closing Time as mentioned in point 6 above. If you wish to vote at the EGM, you will have to attend in person and vote at the EGM.

You are reminded that completion and delivery of the Old Proxy Form and/or this new proxy form will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the EGM or at any adjourned meeting should you so wish.
