If more than one H Share Proxy Form is lodged with the Company’s H Share registrar, only the one which is later received by the Company’s H Share registrar will be treated as a valid proxy form lodged by the holder of H Shares if correctly completed and returned to the Company’s H Share registrar within the prescribed period of time as set out in the H Share Proxy Form. |
