In cumulative voting system, for every share held by a shareholder who participates in the voting, the shareholder will have the same number of voting rights which equals the number of directors or supervisors to be elected. Such shareholder may cast all his votes on one single candidate or different candidates separately. Cumulative voting system will be used in carrying out the voting and the counting of voting results in respect ofsub-resolutions No. 7.1 to No. 7.6 of resolution No. 7,sub-resolutions No. 8.1 to No. 8.3 of resolution No. 8 andsub-resolutions No. 9.1 to No. 9.4 of resolution No. 9.
Set out below is an example illustrating the voting method using cumulative voting system in respect ofsub-resolutions No. 7.1 to No. 7.6 of resolution No. 7. Please fill in your intention of voting in accordance with the following instructions:
(i) | In relation to the resolution No. 7, for every share held by you, you will have the same number of voting rights which equals the number of directors to be elected. |
For example, if you are holding 1 million shares and 6 directors are to be elected at the AGM, the aggregate number of votes which you will have will be 6 million (i.e. 1 million shares x 6 = 6 million voting shares) for resolution No. 7.
(ii) | You may cast on every candidate such votes which represent the same number of shares held by you; cast all your votes which represent the total number of shares held by you multiplied by the total number of directors to be elected on one candidate; or cast your votes which represent the total number of shares held by you multiplied by the total number of directors to be elected on certain candidates. If you wish to cast equal number of votes to each candidate for director, please insert a “3” in the boxes marked “For” or “Against” as appropriate. Otherwise, please specify the number of votes cast for each of the 6 candidates for director in the boxes marked “For”, “Against” or “Abstin from Voting”. For example, if you are holding 1 million shares, the number of your votes regarding the resolution No. 7 is 6 million. You may choose to cast the 6 million votes equally amongst the 6 candidates (For or Against); or to cast all your 6 million votes on one candidate (For or Against); or cast 4.5 million votes to candidate A for director (For or Against), 0.5 million votes to candidate B for director (For or Against), 1 million votes to candidate C for director (For or Against), etc. |
(iii) | When the total votes, represented by the shares held by you multiplied by the number of directors to be elected, are used up after voting for a candidate, you will have no votes remaining to be cast on other candidates. i.e., the total number of both of your “For” and “Against” votes cast for 6 candidates for directors shall not exceed the aggregate number of votes to which you are entitled. |
(iv) | Please note that when the total votes cast by you on one candidate or some of the candidates for director exceeds the total votes to which you are entitled, all the votes cast will become invalid and be regarded as abstain votes; when the total votes cast by you on one candidate or some of the candidates for director are less than 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 number of your votes regarding the resolution No. 7 is 6 million: (a) if you fill in the “For” (or “Against”) of cumulative voting under a particular candidate for director with “6 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 for director. Should you fill in the blanks under the resolution No. 7 with any number of shares (other than 0), all your votes on resolution No. 7 will be invalid; or (b) if you fill in the “For” (or “Against”) of cumulative voting under candidate A for director with “3 million shares” and “Against” (or “For”) of cumulative voting under candidate B for director with “1.5 million shares”, the 4.5 million of votes cast by you are valid and the remaining 1.5 million of votes will be regarded as abstain votes. |
(v) | Where the “For” votes cast for a particular candidate for directors are more than half of the total number of shares held by all shareholders attending (before cumulation) and where the “For” votes exceed the “Against” votes, the candidate in question will be considered to have won the votes. Where the elected directors at the general meeting are less than the number of directors required to be elected, new rounds of voting are required to be held for election of the remaining directors until the number of directors to be elected are fulfilled. |
(vi) | When a new round of director election is held pursuant to (v) above, the calculation of cumulation should be based on the number of directors to be elected during the round of election in question. |
