to be held on February 2, 2021
(or any adjourned or postponed meeting thereof)
Introduction
This Form of Proxy is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the board of directors of Autohome Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (the “Company”), of proxies from the holders of the issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares of the Company, par value US$0.01 per share (the “Shares”), to be exercised at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company (the “EGM”) to be held at 18th Floor Tower B, CEC Plaza, 3 Dan Ling Street, Haidian District, Beijing, The People’s Republic of China on February 2, 2021 at 12:00 p.m. (local time), and at any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting.
Only the holders of record of the Shares at the close of business on December 28, 2020 (Eastern Time) (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of and to vote at the EGM. Each Share shall be entitled to one (1) vote on all matters subject to vote at general meetings of the Company. The quorum of the EGM is at least two or more shareholders entitled to vote and be present in person or by proxy or (in the case of a shareholder being a corporation) by its duly authorized representative representing not less than one third (1/3) of the voting rights represented by the issued and outstanding Shares throughout the meeting. This Form of Proxy and the accompanying Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting are first being sent to the shareholders of the Company on or about December 28, 2020.
A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the EGM is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote in his/her stead. The Shares represented by all properly executed proxies returned to the Company will be voted at the EGM as indicated. If no instruction is given in a properly executed proxy returned to the Company, the proxy holder named therein will be entitled to vote or abstain at his/her discretion. As to any other business that may properly come before the EGM, all properly executed proxies will be voted by the proxy holders named therein in accordance with their discretion. The Company does not presently know of any other business which may come before the EGM. However, if any other matter properly comes before the EGM, or any adjourned or postponed meeting thereof, which may properly be acted upon, unless otherwise indicated, the proxies solicited hereby will be voted on such matter in accordance with the discretion of the proxy holders named therein. Any person giving a proxy has the right to revoke it at any time before it is exercised (i) by filing with the Company a duly signed revocation at its office at the 18th Floor Tower B, CEC Plaza, 3 Dan Ling Street, Haidian District, Beijing, The People’s Republic of China or (ii) by voting in person at the EGM.
To be valid, this Form of Proxy must be completed, signed and delivered to the Company’s office at the 18th Floor Tower B, CEC Plaza, 3 Dan Ling Street, Haidian District, Beijing, The People’s Republic of China as soon as possible and in any event no later than January 29, 2021.
