RECORD DATE FOR
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
Our Board announces that the record date for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the holders of our ordinary shares, par value US$0.0025 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), to vote and attend our forthcoming annual general meeting of shareholders (the “General Meeting”) will be as of close of business on Wednesday, November 10, 2021, Hong Kong time (the “Ordinary Shares Record Date”). In order to be eligible to vote and attend the General Meeting, all valid documents for the transfers of shares accompanied by the relevant share certificates must be lodged with the Company’s Hong Kong branch share registrar and transfer office, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, Shops 1712–1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong, not later than 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, November 10, 2021, Hong Kong time. All persons who are registered holders of the Ordinary Shares on the Ordinary Shares Record Date will be entitled to vote and attend the General Meeting.
Holders of American depositary shares (the “ADSs”) issued by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as depositary of the ADSs, and representing our Ordinary Shares may attend, but may not vote, at the General Meeting. Holders of ADSs as of close of business on Wednesday, November 10, 2021, New York time (the “ADSs Record Date”, together with the Ordinary Shares Record Date, the “Record Date”), will be able to instruct Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, the holder of record of Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs, as to how to vote the Ordinary Shares represented by such ADSs. Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as depositary of the ADSs, will endeavour, to the extent practicable and legally permissible, to vote or cause to be voted at the General Meeting the amount of Ordinary Shares represented by the ADSs in accordance with the instructions that it has properly received from ADS holders. Please be aware that, because of the time difference between Hong Kong and New York, if a holder of ADSs cancels his or her ADSs in exchange for Ordinary Shares on Wednesday, November 10, 2021, New York time, such holder of ADSs will not be able to instruct Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as depositary of the ADSs, as to how to vote the Ordinary Shares represented by the cancelled ADSs as described above, and will also not be a holder of those Ordinary Shares as of the Ordinary Shares Record Date for the purpose of determining the eligibility to attend and vote at the General Meeting.
