SUPPLEMENTAL ANNOUNCEMENT
IN RELATION TO PROXY FORM
FOR THE 2020 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Reference is made to the proxy form for the 2020 annual general meeting published on 6 May 2021 (the “Original Proxy Form”) by China Eastern Airlines Corporation Limited (the “Company”). The Company noted that certain matters in the Original Proxy Form shall be adjusted and would like to supplement as follows:
1. | Regarding the Original Proxy Form, shareholders of the Company shall vote on resolutions 9(1) and 9(2) respectively. The correct table is shown as follows: |
The revised proxy form for the 2020 annual general meeting reflecting the above adjustment (the “Revised Proxy Form”) is available on the website of the Company and The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. Save as above, all information and contents stated in the Original Proxy Form are correct and remain unchanged. The proxy forms which have been delivered by the shareholders of the Company will remain valid. This announcement is supplemental to and shall be read in conjunction with the Original Proxy Form.

For the avoidance of doubt, the proxy forms delivered by the shareholders of the Company prior to the date hereof shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent applicable, if correctly completed. In the event that the shareholders of the Company voted “Agree” for resolution 9 in the Original Proxy Form, they will be deemed to vote “Agree” for both resolutions 9(1) and 9(2). The shareholders of the Company may deliver the Revised Proxy Form not less than 24 hours before the time scheduled for the holding of the annual general meeting to Hong Kong Registrars Limited, the Company’s H Share registrar, at Rooms 1712–1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong. In such case, the Revised Proxy Form will supersede the Original Proxy Form delivered by such shareholder of the Company. The Revised Proxy Form will then be deemed as a valid proxy form delivered by the shareholders of the Company if correctly completed.
