IR Enquiry & Shareholder Information

(1)Current Arrangement

Under the current arrangement, the Company supplies or makes available the Corporate Communications of the Company (other than Actionable Corporate Communication) to shareholders by electronic means through the website of the Company (the “Company Website”) and the website of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited at www.hkexnews.hk (the “HKEXnews Website”, together with the Company Website, the “Websites”), if the relevant shareholders have consented (or are deemed to have consented) to receive the Websites version of the Corporate Communications, as described in section (2) below. Printed form of the Corporate Communications will be sent to those shareholders who have made written requests, or whose consent (express or deemed) has not been sought.

Corporate Communication refers to any document issued or to be issued by the Company for the information or action of the shareholders, including but not limited to (a) directors’ reports, annual accounts together with the independent auditor’s reports and, where applicable, summary financial reports; (b) interim reports and, where applicable, summary interim reports; (c) notices of meetings; (d) listing documents; (e) circulars and (f) proxy forms.

Actionable Corporate Communication refers to any Corporate Communication that seeks instructions from shareholders on how they wish to exercise their rights or make an election as shareholders of the Company. Pursuant to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, the Company must send Actionable Corporate Communications to shareholders individually and cannot comply with a rule requirement by making the Actionable Corporate Communications available only through the Websites.

(2)Electronic Dissemination of Corporate Communications (other than Actionable Corporate Communications)

The English and Chinese versions of the Corporate Communications of the Company are available on the Websites. Shareholders and investors who wish to be notified of the Corporate Communications published by the Company may also subscribe for the News Alerts service in the Market Data section of on the HKEX website.

For registered shareholders, each of them will be asked individually by the Company to agree that the Company may make available future Corporate Communications by means of the Websites version. If the Company has not received a response indicating the shareholder’s objection within a period of 28 days, the registered shareholder will be deemed to have elected the Websites version instead of a printed version, and a notification of the posting of the relevant Corporate Communications on the Company Website will be sent to the shareholder by email, or if no email address is provided by the shareholder, by post at the address recorded on the register of members of the Company.  

A registered shareholder who has elected (or is deemed to have elected) the Websites version but for any reason has difficulty in accessing the relevant Corporate Communications posted on the Company Website, or wishes to receive printed copies of such Corporate Communications, the Company will promptly upon request send the printed version to such shareholders free of charge – see section (3) below for details. 

Non-registered shareholders may also request to receive the printed version of Corporate Communications – see section (3) below for details. Non-registered shareholder refers to such person or company whose shares in the Company are held in The Central Clearing and Settlement System (CCASS) and who has notified the Company from time to time through Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited to receive the Corporate Communications of the Company.

(3)Election of Language and Means of Receipt of Corporate Communications
