PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

In view of the ongoing Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic, the Company will implement the following preventive measures at the SGM to protect attending Shareholders, staff and other stakeholders from the risk of infection:

  1. Compulsory body temperature checks will be conducted on every attendee at the entrance of the SGM venue. Any person with a body temperature of over 37.4 degrees Celsius may be denied entry into the SGM venue.
  2. All attendees may be asked whether (a) he/she travels outside of Hong Kong within the 14-day period immediately before the SGM; and (b) he/she is subject to any Hong Kong Government prescribed quarantine. Anyone who responds positively to any of these questions will be denied entry into the meeting venue. We will also report to relevant authorities for the breach of quarantine required.
  3. The Company requires attendees to wear surgical face masks inside the SGM venue at all times, and to maintain a safe distance between seats.
  4. No refreshments will be served.

To the extent permitted under law, the Company reserves the right to deny entry into the SGM venue or require any person to leave the SGM venue in order to ensure the safety of the attendees at the SGM.

In the interest of all stakeholders' health and safety and consistent with the COVID-19 guidelines issued by the Government of Hong Kong (available at www.chp.gov.hk/en/ features/102742.html), the Company reminds all Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the SGM is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights. As an alternative, by using proxy forms with voting instructions inserted, Shareholders may appoint the chairman of the SGM as their proxies to vote on the relevant resolution(s) at the SGM instead of attending the SGM in person.
