Any person giving a proxy has the right to revoke it at any time before it is exercised (i) for holders of Ordinary Shares or ADSs, by submitting a written notice of revocation or a fresh proxy form or fresh ADS Voting Card, as the case may be, bearing a later date, which must be received by the deadlines for returning the proxy forms or ADS Voting Cards set forth above, or (ii) for holders of Ordinary Shares only, by voting in person at the AGM.
