The redemption of shares may be effected upon such terms and in such manner as the Company before or upon issue of the shares shall by ordinary resolution determine.

(b) Subject to sections 49 to 49S of the Ordinance, the Company may purchase its own shares (including redeemable shares) and without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing the Company may purchase its own shares (including any redeemable shares) in order to:

(c) Subject to sections 49I to 49O of the Ordinance, the Company may make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase under section 49A or (as the case may be) section 49B of its own shares otherwise than out of its distributable profits or the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares.

(d) For purposes of Article 8(c), the Directors are authorised to make written statements or take such other steps as may be required by the Ordinance in

relation to the redemption or purchase by the Company of its own shares out of capital.

9. Subject to the provisions of these Articles, the Company shall not, except as required by law, be bound by or required in any way to recognise any contingent, future, partial or equitable interest in any share or in any fractional part of a share, or any other right in respect of any share, or any other claim to or in respect of any such share on the part of any person (even when having notice thereof) except an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the registered holder.

10. The Company may in connection with the issue of any shares exercise all powers of paying interest out of capital and of paying commission and brokerage conferred or permitted by the Ordinance.

11. No person shall become a Member until his name shall have been entered into the Register.

JOINT HOLDERS OF SHARES

12. Where two or more persons are registered as the holders of any share they shall be deemed to hold the same as joint tenants with benefit of survivorship, subject to the following provisions:-

(a) the Company shall not be bound to register more than three persons as the holders of any shares except in the case of the legal personal representative of a deceased Member;

(b) the joint holders of any shares shall be liable severally as well as jointly in respect of all payments which ought to be made in respect of such shares;

(c) on the death of any one of such joint holders the survivor or survivors shall be the only person or persons recognised by the Company as having any title to such shares, but the Directors may require such evidence of death as they may deem fit;

(d) any one of such joint holders may give effectual receipts for any dividend, return of capital or other payment in the share; and

(e) the Company shall be at liberty to treat the person whose name stands first in the Register as one of the joint holders of any shares as solely entitled to delivery of the certificate relating to such shares, or to receive notices from the Company, and to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company, and any notice given to such person shall be deemed notice to all the joint holders; but any one of such joint holders may be appointed the proxy of the persons entitled to vote on behalf of such joint holders, and as such proxy to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company, and if more than one of such joint holders be present at any meeting personally or by proxy that one so present whose name stands first in the Register in respect of such shares shall alone be entitled to vote in respect thereof.

SHARE CERTIFICATES

13. Every Member shall, without payment, be entitled to receive within two months after allotment or lodgment of an instrument of transfer duly stamped, or within such other period as the conditions of issue may provide, a certificate for all his shares of any particular class, or several certificates, each for one or more of his shares, upon payment of such fee, not exceeding five dollars or such smaller sum for every certificate after the first, as the Directors shall from time to time determine, provided that in the event of a Member transferring part of the shares represented by a certificate in his name a new certificate in respect of the balance thereof shall be issued in his name without payment and, in the case of joint holders, the Company shall not be bound to issue more than one certificate for all the shares of any particular class registered in their joint names.

14. Every share certificate shall be issued under the Seal and shall specify the number and class of shares, and, if required, the distinctive numbers thereof comprised therein, the amount paid up thereon and, if appropriate, whether such shares carry no voting rights. No certificate shall be issued in respect of more than one class of shares. If there shall be more than one class of shares then each certificate of every class shall state thereon that the share capital is divided into different classes and the nominal value of the voting rights attaching to each class.

15. If any share certificate shall be worn out, defaced, destroyed or lost, it may be renewed on such evidence being produced as the Directors shall require, and in case of wearing out or defacement, on delivery up of the old certificate, and in case of destruction or loss, on the execution of such indemnity (if any), as the Directors may from time to time require. In case of destruction or loss, the person to whom such renewed certificate is given shall also bear and pay to the Company all expenses incidental to the investigation by the Company of the evidence of such destruction or loss and of such indemnity.

CALLS ON SHARES

16.  (a) The Directors may from time to time make such calls as they think fit upon the Members in respect of all monies unpaid on their shares (whether on account of the nominal value of the shares or by way of premium) but subject always to the terms of issue of such shares, and any such call may be made payable by instalments.

(b) Each Member shall, subject to receiving at least fourteen days’ notice specifying the time or times and place for payment, pay to the person and at the time and place appointed by the Directors, the amount called on his shares and at the time or times and place so specified. The non-receipt of a notice of any call by, or the accidental omission to give notice of a call to, any of the Members shall not invalidate the call.

17. A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorising such call was passed. A call may be revoked, varied or postponed as the Directors may determine.

18. If any part of a sum called in respect of any shares or any instalment of a call be not paid before or on the day appointed for payment thereof, the person from whom the sum is due shall be liable to pay interest on the outstanding part thereof at such rate as the Directors shall determine from the day appointed for the payment of such call or instalment to the time of discharge thereof in full; but the Directors may, if they shall think fit, waive the payment of such interest or any part thereof.

19. If, by the terms of the issue of any shares or otherwise, any amount is made payable upon allotment or at any fixed time, whether on account of the nominal amount of the shares or by way of premium, every such amount shall be payable as if it were a call duly made and payable on the date on which by the terms of the issue the same becomes payable; and all the provisions thereof with respect to the payment of calls and interest thereon, or to the forfeiture of shares for non-payment of calls, shall apply to every such amount and the shares in respect of which it is payable in the case of non-payment thereof.

20. The Directors may, if they shall think fit, receive from any Member willing to advance the same all or any part of the monies uncalled and unpaid upon any shares held by him; and upon all or any of the monies so paid in advance the Directors may (until the same would, but for such payment in advance, become presently payable) pay interest at such rate as may be agreed upon between the Member paying the monies in advance and the Directors. The Directors may also at any time repay the amount so advanced or any part thereof.

21. On the trial or hearing of any action for the recovery of any money due for any call, it shall be sufficient to prove that the name of the Member sued is entered in the Register as the holder, or one of the holders, of the shares in respect of which such debt accrued; that the resolution making the call is duly recorded in the Minute Book; and that notice of such call was duly given to the Member sued in pursuance of these Articles; and it shall not be necessary to prove the appointment of the Directors who made such call, nor any other matters whatsoever, but the proof of the matters aforesaid shall be conclusive evidence of the debt.

22. No Member shall, unless the Directors otherwise determine, be entitled to receive any dividend, or, subject to the Ordinance, to receive notice of or to be present or’ vote at any general meeting, either personally or (save as proxy for another Member) by proxy, or to exercise any privileges as a Member, or be reckoned in a quorum, until he shall have paid all calls or other sums for the time being due and payable on every share held by him, whether alone or jointly with any other person, together with interest and expenses (if any).

FORFEITURE

23. If any Member fails to pay in full any call or instalment of a call on the day appointed for payment thereof, the Directors may at any time thereafter, during such time as any part of the call or instalment remains unpaid, serve a notice on him requiring him to pay so much of the call or instalment as is unpaid together

with interest accrued and any expenses incurred by reason of such non-payment.

24. The notice shall name a further day (not being less than fourteen days from the date of the notice) on or before which such call or instalment or part thereof and all interest accrued and expenses incurred by reason of such non-payment are to be paid, and it shall also name the place where payment is to be made, such place being either the Office, or some other place at which calls of the Company are usually made payable. The notice shall also state that, in the event of non-payment at or before the time and at the place appointed, the shares in respect of which such call or instalment is payable will be liable to be forfeited.

25. If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid be not complied with, any shares in respect of which such notice has been given may, at any time thereafter before the payment required by the notice had been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors to that effect, and any such forfeiture shall extend to all dividends declared in respect of the shares so forfeited but not actually paid before such forfeiture. The Directors may so far as the law permits accept from any Member a surrender of his shares or any part thereof as a compromise of any dispute or in lieu of forfeiture on such terms as may be agreed upon between such Member and the Company and in such case references in these Articles to forfeiture shall include surrender.

26. Any shares so forfeited shall be deemed for the purposes of this Article to be the property of the Company, and may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of either subject to or discharged from all calls made or instalments due prior to the forfeiture, to any person, upon such terms and in such manner and at such time or times as the Directors think fit. For the purpose of giving effect to any such sale or other disposition the Directors may authorise some person to transfer the shares so sold or otherwise disposed of to the purchaser thereof or any other person becoming entitled thereto.

27. The Directors may, at any time before any shares so forfeited shall have been sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of, annul the forfeiture thereof upon such conditions as they think fit.

28. Any person whose shares have been forfeited shall thereupon cease to be the holder of any such shares but shall notwithstanding be and remain liable to pay to the Company all calls, instalments, interest and expenses owing upon or in respect of such shares at the time of the forfeiture together with interest thereon from the time of forfeiture until payment at such rate as the Directors shall think fit and without any deduction or allowance for the value of the shares at the time of forfeiture, and the Directors may enforce the payment of such monies or any part thereof and may waive payment of such interest wholly or in part.

29. When any shares have been forfeited an entry shall be made in the Register recording the forfeiture and the date thereof, and so soon as the shares so forfeited have been sold or otherwise disposed of an entry shall also be made of the manner and date of the sale or disposal thereof.

LIEN

30. The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on every share for all monies outstanding in respect of such share, whether presently payable or not, and the Company shall also have a first and paramount lien on every share standing registered in the name of a Member, whether singly or jointly with any other person or persons, for all the debts and liabilities whether liquidated or not of such Member or his estate to the Company, whether the same shall have been incurred before or after notice to the Company of any interest of any person other than such Member, and whether the same shall have fallen due for payment or not, and notwithstanding that the same are joint debts or liabilities of such Member or his estate and any other person, whether a Member or not, and such lien shall extend to all dividends from time to time declared on such share and shall have priority over all debts, obligations, engagements and liabilities of such Member to or with any other person notwithstanding that any such last mentioned debt, obligation, engagement or liability was incurred or undertaken prior in date to any debt, obligation, engagement or liability to the Company and notwithstanding that the Company had full notice thereof. The Directors may at any time either generally or in any particular case waive any lien that has arisen, or declare any share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article.

31. The Company may sell in such manner as the Directors think fit any share on which the Company has a lien, but no sale shall be made unless some sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable, nor until the expiration of fourteen days after a notice in writing stating and demanding payment of the sum presently payable and giving notice of intention to sell in default shall have been given to the holder for the time being of the share or the person entitled thereto by reason of his death, bankruptcy or winding up or otherwise by operation of law or court order.

32. The net proceeds of such sale after payment of the costs of such sale shall be applied in or towards payment or satisfaction of the debts or liabilities in respect whereof the lien existed so far as the same are presently payable and any residue shall (subject to a like lien for debts or liabilities not presently payable as existed upon the shares prior to the sale) be paid to the person entitled to the shares at the time of the sale. For giving effect to any such sale the Directors may authorise some person to transfer the shares so sold to the purchaser thereof.

33. A statutory declaration in writing that the declarant is a Director or the Secretary of the Company and that a share has been duly forfeited or surrendered or sold to satisfy a lien of the Company on a date stated in the declaration shall be conclusive evidence of the facts therein stated as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the share. Such declaration and the receipt of the Company for the consideration (if any) given for the share on the sale, re-allotment or disposal thereof together with the share certificate delivered to a purchaser or allottee thereof shall (subject to the execution of a transfer if the same be required) constitute a good title to the share and the person to whom the share is sold, re-allotted or disposed of shall be registered as the holder of the share and shall not be bound to see to the application

of the purchase money (if any) nor shall his title to the share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, surrender, sale, re-allotment or disposal of the share.

TRANSFER OF SHARES

34.  (a) Save where the Company has only one Member, shares shall be transferable subject as hereinafter mentioned:-

(i) the person proposing to transfer shares (“the transferor”) shall give notice in writing (“transfer notice”) to the Directors that he proposes to transfer the shares. The transfer notice shall specify the sum that the transferor fixes as the fair value as well as other terms of transfer, and shall constitute the Directors as his agent for the sale of the shares in the manner hereinafter provided;

(ii) within 15 days following the receipt of the transfer notice, the Directors shall notify all the other holders of the same class of shares of the proposed transfer by forwarding a copy of the transfer notice to such holders and inviting each of them to state in writing the maximum number of the shares to be transferred to each who wishes to purchase;

(iii) each of such holders of the same class of shares shall have 15 days from the date of posting to them of such transfer notice to advise the Directors whether they wish to accept all or any of the offered shares at the price and upon the terms stated in the transfer notice, and in the event of competition such advice shall be deemed to relate (as nearly as may be) to such number of shares as is proportionate to their existing holding of shares in that class. If any difficulties arise in the apportionment of any such shares, the same shall be determined by the Directors as they think fit;

(iv) if all of the shares referred to in the transfer notice are not accepted by the holders of the same class of shares in a manner set out in sub-clause (iii) above, the Directors shall thereupon offer such all or remaining shares to holders of shares in any other class at the same price and on the same terms as herein contained. The provisions of sub-clauses (ii) and (iii) herein shall be repeatedmutatis mutandiswith regard to holders of shares in any other class so that the Directors shall be required to notify such holders, as provided in sub-clause (ii), within 15 days of the expiration of the period in sub-clause (iii);

(v) where the shares comprised in the transfer notice have been offered to all holders of shares in accordance with the foregoing sub-clauses, and there is only one holder of shares in the Company who has signified his intention to accept the offered shares upon the terms stated in the transfer notice but at a different price, that

person shall have the right to request the Auditors of the Company to determine a fair price for the shares on a “going concern” basis as at the date of the transfer notice, calculated as between a willing seller and a willing buyer at arm’s length. In making any such determination the Auditors shall be deemed to be acting as experts and not as arbitrators and the expenses of the Auditors in making any such determination shall be borne pro rata by the ultimate purchasers of the shares if existing members of the Company, and if there are no such purchasers, then by the person requesting such determination;

(vi) in the event that the price determined by the Auditors as the fair price for the shares is less than the price stated in the transfer notice, the transferor shall thereupon be obliged to re-offer the shares to all the Members at that price in the manner hereinbefore provided and the provisions of sub-clauses (ii) to (iv) hereof shall applymutatis mutandisin respect of any such offer;

(vii) if any Member signifies his intention to accept the offered shares at the price and upon the terms stated in the transfer notice, such Member shall pay the price thereof within 60 days from either the date of such acceptance or the date of the granting of all governmental approvals required to complete the purchase of such shares, whichever is the later. Upon payment of the price, the transferor shall forthwith execute a transfer and do all such things as he alone can do to transfer the shares to the aforesaid Member;

(viii) if the shares shall have been offered by the transferor to the Members in the manner hereinbefore provided and such Members shall not have advised the Directors of their intention to purchase all or any of the shares within the period aforesaid, then such Members shall be deemed to have declined to accept the shares not otherwise taken up as hereinbefore provided, and the transferor may then proceed to sell and transfer all or the balance of such shares to any person at a price not less than the price stated in the transfer notice forwarded to Members of the Company;

(ix) notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding sub-clauses (i) to (viii), the transferor may, with the prior consent of all other Members in writing obtained within 1 month of the date of sale or transfer, sell and transfer all or any of his shares to any person at a price agreed upon between him and the transferee.

(b) The instrument of transfer of any shares in the Company shall be in writing and shall be executed by or on behalf of the transferor and by or on behalf of the transferee. The transferor shall remain the holder of the shares concerned until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register in respect thereof.

35. Every instrument of transfer shall be lodged at the Office for registration accompanied by the certificate relating to the shares to be transferred and such other evidence as the Directors may require in relation thereto. All instruments of transfer which shall be registered shall be retained by the Company but, save where fraud is suspected, any instrument of transfer which. the Directors may decline to register shall, on demand, be returned to the person depositing the same.

36. There shall be paid to the Company in respect of the registration of a transfer and of any Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration, Certificate of Marriage or Death, Power of Attorney or other document relating to or affecting the title to any share or the making of any entry in the Register affecting the title to any share such fee (if any) as the Directors may from time to time require or prescribe.

37. The registration of transfers may be suspended at such times and for such periods as the Directors may from time to time determine and either generally or in respect of any class of shares provided always that such registration shall not be suspended for more than thirty days in any year. Any transfer made while the Register is closed shall, as between the Company and the person claiming under the transfer (but not otherwise), be considered as made immediately after the re-opening of the Register.

38.  (a) The Directors may at any time in their absolute discretion and without assigning any reason therefore, decline to register any transfer of any share whether or not it is a fully paid share.

(b) The Directors may also decline to register any transfer unless:-

(i) the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of shares;

(ii) in the case of a transfer to joint holders, the number of joint holders to whom the shares are to be transferred does not exceed three; and

(iii) the shares concerned are free of any lien in favour of the Company.

(c) If the Directors refuse to register a transfer they shall, within two months after the date on which the transfer was lodged with the Company, send to the transferor and transferee notice of the refusal.

(d) The registration of a transfer shall be conclusive evidence of the approval by the Directors of the transfer.

TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

39. In case of the death of a Member, the survivor or survivors where the deceased was a joint holder, and the legal personal representatives of the deceased where he was a sole holder, shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to his interest in the shares; but nothing herein contained shall release the estate of a deceased joint holder from any liability in respect of any share which had been jointly held by him with other persons.

40.  (a) Any committee of a lunatic Member, and any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death, bankruptcy or liquidation of a Member may, upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time properly be required by the Directors that he sustains the character in respect of which he purports to act under this clause or of his title and that he is entitled to act, and subject as hereinafter provided, elect either to be registered himself as holder of the share or to have some person nominated by him registered as the transferee thereof, but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the share by that Member before his death or bankruptcy, as the case may be.

(b) If the person so becoming entitled shall elect to be registered himself, he shall deliver or send to the Company a notice in writing signed by him stating that he so elects. If he shall elect to have another person registered he shall execute a transfer of the share in favour of that person. All the limitations, restrictions and provisions of these Articles relating to the right to transfer and the registration of transfers of shares shall be applicable to any such notice or transfer as aforesaid as if the death or bankruptcy of the Member had not occurred and the notice or transfer were a transfer signed by the Member.

41. A person becoming entitled to a share by reason of the death or bankruptcy of the holder shall be entitled to the same dividends and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the registered holder of the share, except that he shall not, before being registered as a Member in respect of the share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to meetings of the Company.

PROVIDED always that the Directors may at any time give notice requiring any such person to elect either to be registered himself or to transfer the share, and if the notice is not complied with within 90 days the Directors may thereafter withhold payment of all dividends or other monies payable in respect of the share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

42. Any person to whom the right to any shares in the Company has been transmitted by operation of law shall, if the Directors refuse to register the transfer, be entitled to call on the Directors to furnish within 28 days a statement of the reasons for the refusal.

STOCK

43. The Company may from time to time by ordinary resolution convert any fully paid up shares into stock and may reconvert any stock into fully paid up shares of any denomination. After the passing of any resolution converting all the fully paid up shares of any class in the capital of the Company into stock, any shares of that class which subsequently become fully paid up and rank pall passu in all other respects with such shares shall, by virtue of this Article and such resolution, be

converted into stock transferable in the same units as the shares already converted.

44. The holders of stock may transfer the same or any part thereof in the same manner and subject to the same regulations as the shares from which the stock arose might prior to conversion have been transferred or as near thereto as circumstances admit. The Directors may from time to time fix the minimum amount of stock transferable and restrict or forbid the transfer of fractions of such minimum, but the minimum shall not, without the sanction of an ordinary resolution of the Company, exceed the nominal amount of each of the shares from which the stock arose.

45. The holders of stock shall, according to the amount of the stock held by them, have the same rights as regards dividends, voting at general meetings of the Company and other matters as if they held the shares from which the stock arose, but no such right (except as to participation in dividends and profits of the Company and in assets on a reduction of capital or a winding up) shall be conferred by an amount of stock which would not, if existing in shares, have conferred such right.

46. Such of these Articles as are applicable to fully paid up shares shall applymutatis mutandis to stock, and the words “share” and “shareholder” therein shall include “stock” and “stockholder”.

INCREASE OF CAPITAL

47. The Company may, from time to time, by ordinary resolution increase its authorised capital by such sum divided into shares of such amounts as the resolution shall prescribe.

48. Without prejudice to any special rights, privileges or restrictions for the time being attaching to any then existing class of shares in the capital of the Company, any new shares created pursuant to Article 47 may be issued upon such terms and conditions, and with such rights, privileges and restrictions attached thereto as the general meeting resolving upon the creation thereof shall direct or, if no such direction be given, as the Directors shall determine, and in particular such shares may be issued with a preferential, qualified or deferred right to dividends and in the distribution of assets of the Company, and with a special, or without any, right of voting.

49. The general meeting resolving upon the creation of any new shares may direct that the same or any of them shall be offered in the first instance, and either at par or at a premium or (subject to the provisions of the Ordinance) at a discount, to all the holders for the time being of any class of shares in the capital of the Company in proportion to the number of shares of such class held by them respectively, or make any other provisions as to the issue and allotment of the new shares.

50. Subject to any direction or determination that may be given or made in accordance with the powers contained in these Articles all new shares created pursuant to Article 47 shall be subject to the same provisions herein contained with reference

to the payment of calls, transfer, transmission, forfeiture, lien and otherwise as the shares in the capital of the Company existing at the date of creation of such new shares.

ALTERATIONS OF SHARE CAPITAL

51. The Company may by ordinary resolution:-

(a) subdivide its existing shares or any of them into shares of smaller amount than is fixed by the Memorandum of Association of the Company, provided that in the subdivision of an existing share the proportion between the amount paid and the amount (if any) unpaid on each reduced share shall be the same as it was in the case of the share from which the reduced share is derived, and so that the resolution whereby any share is subdivided may determine that as between the holders of the shares resulting from such subdivision one or more of the shares may, as compared with the others, have any such preferred, deferred or other special rights or be subject to any such restrictions as the Company has power to attach to unissued or new shares;

(b) consolidate and divide its capital or any part thereof into shares of larger amount than its existing shares; or

(c) cancel any shares which at the date of the passing of the resolution have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount of its authorised capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled.

52. The Company may by special resolution reduce its share capital and any capital redemption reserve fund or any share premium account in any manner allowed by law.

53. Where any difficulty arises in regard to any consolidation and division under paragraph (b) of Article 51, the Directors may settle the same as they think expedient and in particular may arrange for the sale of the shares representing fractions and the distribution of the net proceeds of sale in due proportion amongst the Members who would have been entitled to the fractions, and for this purpose the Directors may authorise some person to transfer the shares representing fractions to the purchaser thereof, who shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money nor shall his title to the shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings relating to the sale.

MODIFICATION OF RIGHTS

54.  (a)  All or any of the rights attached to any class of shares in the capital of the Company for the time being may, at any time, as well before as during liquidation, be altered or abrogated either with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than three-fourths of the issued shares of the class or with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of shares of the class, and all the provisions

contained in these Articles relating to general meetings shallmutatis mutandisapply to every such meeting, but so that the quorum thereof shall be a person or persons personally present and holding or representing by proxy one-third in nominal value of the issued shares of the class.

(b) The foregoing provisions of this Article shall apply to the variation or abrogation of the rights attached to some only of the shares of any class as if each group of shares of the class differently treated formed a separate class, the rights whereof are to be varied.

55. The special rights conferred upon the holders of any shares or such class of shares shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided in the rights attaching to or the terms of issue of such shares, be deemed to be altered by the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passe therewith.

GENERAL MEETINGS

56.  (a)  The Company shall in each year hold a general meeting as its annual general meeting in addition to any other meetings in that year, and shall specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it, and not. more than 15 months shall elapse between the date of one annual general meeting of the Company and that of the next, PROVIDED that so long as the Company holds its first annual general meeting within 18 months of its incorporation, it need not hold it in the year of its incorporation or in the following year. The annual general meeting shall be held at such time and place as the Directors shall appoint.

(b) All other general meetings shall be called extraordinary general meetings.

57. The Directors may, whenever they think fit, and shall, on requisition by Members in accordance with the Ordinance, proceed to convene an extraordinary general meeting. The provisions of the Ordinance shall apply to any requisition and to any failure by the Directors to convene an extraordinary general meeting when so requisitioned.

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETINGS

58. An annual general meeting and a meeting called for the passing of a special resolution shall be called by 21 days’ notice in writing at the least, and a meeting of the Company other than an annual general meeting or a meeting for the passing of a special resolution shall be called by 14 days’ notice in writing at the least. The notice shall specify the place, the day and the hour of meeting and, in case of special business, the general nature of that business, and shall be given in manner hereinafter mentioned or in such other manner, if any, as may be prescribed by the Company in general meeting, to such persons as are, under the Articles of the Company, entitled to receive such notices from the Company:

PROVIDED that a meeting of the Company shall, notwithstanding that it is called by shorter notice than that specified in this Article, be deemed to have been duly

called if it is so agreed:

(a) in the case of a meeting called as the annual general meeting, by all the Members entitled to attend and vote thereat; and

(b) in the case of any other meeting, by a majority in number of the Members having a right to attend and vote at the meeting, being a majority together holding not less than 95 per cent in nominal value of the shares giving that right.

59. The accidental omission to give notice of a meeting or (in cases where an instrument of proxy is sent out with the notice) the accidental omission to send such instrument of proxy to, or the non-receipt of notice of a meeting or such instrument of proxy by, any person entitled to receive such notice shall not invalidate the proceedings at that meeting.

PROCEEDINGS AT GENERAL MEETINGS

60. All business shall be deemed special that is transacted at an extraordinary general meeting and also all business that is transacted at an annual general meeting with the exception of: -

(a) the declaration and sanction of dividends;

(b) the consideration of the accounts and balance sheets and the reports of the Directors and other documents required to be annexed to the accounts;

(c) the election of Directors in place of those retiring (if any); and

131.  Whenever such a resolution as aforesaid shall have been passed the Directors shall make all appropriations and applications of the undivided profits resolved to be capitalised thereby, and all allotments and issues of fully paid shares or

debentures, if any, and generally shall do all acts and things required to give effect thereto.

132. For the purpose of giving effect to any resolution under Articles 128 and 130 hereof the Directors may settle any difficulty which may arise in regard to the distribution as they think expedient, and in particular may issue fractional certificates, and may fix the value for distribution of any specific assets, and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any Members upon the footing of the value so fixed or that fractions of such value as the Directors may determine may be disregarded in order to adjust the rights of all parties, and may vest any such cash or specific assets in trustees upon such trusts for the persons entitled to the dividend or capitalised fund as may seem expedient to the Directors. The provisions of the Ordinance in relation to the filing of contracts for allotment shall be observed, and the Directors may appoint any person to sign such contract on behalf of the persons entitled to share in the appropriation and distribution, and such appointment shall be effective and binding upon all concerned, and the contract may provide for the acceptance by such persons of the shares or debentures to be allotted and distributed to them respectively in satisfaction of their claims in respect of the sum so capitalised.

ACCOUNTS AND AUDITORS

133.  (a) The Directors shall cause proper and true books of account to be kept of all sums of money received and expended by the Company, and the matters in respect of which such receipt and expenditure take place; of all sales and purchases of goods by the Company; and of the assets and liabilities of the Company and of all other matters necessary to give a true and fair view of the state of the Company’s affairs and to explain its transactions.

(b) The Directors shall from time to time determine whether and to what extent and at what times and places and under what conditions or regulations the accounts and books of the Company or any of them shall be open to the inspection of Members not being Directors, and no Member (not being a Director) shall have any right of inspecting any account or book or document of the Company except as conferred by statute or authorised by the Directors or by the Company in general meeting.

134. The Directors shall from time to time, in accordance with the provisions of the Ordinance, cause to be prepared and to be laid before the Company in general meeting such Profit and Loss Accounts, Balance Sheets, Group Accounts (if any) and Reports as are required by the Ordinance.

135. A copy of every Balance Sheet (including every document required by law to be annexed thereto) which is to be laid before the Company in general meeting, together with a copy of the Directors’ Report and a copy of the Auditors’ Report, shall, not less than twenty-one days before the date of the meeting, be sent to every Member of, and every holder of debentures of, the Company and to all persons other than Members or holders of debentures of the Company, being persons

entitled to receive notices of general meetings of the Company:

PROVIDED that this Article shall not require a copy of those documents to be sent to any person of whose address the Company is not aware nor to more than one of the joint holders of any shares or debentures.

136. Auditors shall be appointed and their duties regulated in the manner provided by the Ordinance.

NOTICES

137. Any notice or other document may be served by the Company upon any Member either personally or by sending it through the post in a prepaid letter, envelope or wrapper addressed to such Member at his registered address, and, in any case where the registered address of a Member is outside Hong Kong, by prepaid airmail. The signature to any notice to be given by the Company may be written or printed.

138. Each Member shall, from time to time, notify in writing to the Company some place which shall be deemed his registered address within the meaning of the last preceding Article.

139. Any notice sent by post shall be deemed to have been served in the case where the Member’s registered address is in Hong Kong at the expiration of 48 hours after the letter, envelope or wrapper containing the same was posted in Hong Kong and in any other case on the fifth day after the day of posting. In proving such service it shall be sufficient to prove that the letter, envelope or wrapper containing the notice was properly addressed and put in the post as a prepaid letter.

140. A notice may be given by the Company to the persons entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Member by sending it through the post in a prepaid letter addressed to them by name, or by the title of representatives of the deceased, or trustee of the bankrupt, or by any like description, at the address, if any, within Hong Kong supplied for the purpose by the persons claiming to be so entitled, or (until such an address has been so supplied) by giving the notice in any manner in which the same might have been given if the death or bankruptcy had not occurred.

141. Notice of every general meeting shall be given in any manner hereinbefore authorised to:-

  (a) every Member except those Members who have not supplied to the Company an address for the giving of notices to them;

  (b) every person entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Member who, but for his death or bankruptcy, would be entitled to receive notice of the meeting; and

  (c) the Auditors for the time being of the Company.

No other person shall be entitled to receive notices of general meetings.

142. Any summons, notice, order or other document required to be sent to or served upon the Company, or upon any officer of the Company, may be sent or served by leaving the same or sending it through the post in a prepaid letter, envelope or wrapper, addressed to the Company or to such officer at the Office.

143. Subject to any special provisions contained in these Articles or in the Ordinance, all notices required to be given by advertisement shall be advertised in at least one daily Chinese and one daily English newspaper in Hong Kong.

144. In reckoning the period for any notice given under these Articles, the day on which notice is served, or deemed to be served and the day for which such notice is given shall be excluded.

WINDING UP

145. If the Company shall be wound up, the surplus assets remaining after payment to all creditors shall be divided among the Members in proportion to the capital which at the commencement of the winding up is paid up on the shares held by them respectively, and if such surplus assets shall be insufficient to repay the whole of the paid up capital, they shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses shall be borne by the Members in proportion to the capital paid up at the commencement of the winding up on the shares held by them respectively. This Article is, however, to be subject to the rights of any shares which may be issued on special terms or conditions.

146. If the Company shall be wound up the liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution of the Company and any other sanction required by the Ordinance, divide amongst the Members in specie or kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether they shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may, for such purpose, set such value as he deems fair upon any property to be divided as aforesaid and may determine how such division shall be carried out as between the members of different classes of Members. The liquidator may, with the like sanction, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator, with the like sanction, shall think fit, but so that no Member shall be compelled to accept any shares or other securities whereon there is any liability.

INDEMNITY

147.  (a) Every Director, Managing Director, Agent, Auditor, Secretary and other officer for the time being of the Company shall be indemnified out of the assets of the Company against any liability incurred by him in relation to the Company or a related company (being, for the purpose of this Article 147, any company that is the Company’s subsidiary or holding company or a subsidiary of that company’s holding company) in defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in which judgment is given in his favour or in which he is acquitted or in connection with any application

under Section 358 of the Ordinance in which relief is granted to him by the court.

(b) The Company may purchase and maintain for any Director, Managing Director, Agent, Auditor, Secretary and other officer for the time being of the Company, insurance against any liability to the Company, a related company or any other party in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust (save for fraud) of which he may be guilty in relation to the Company or a related company, as well as any liability incurred by him in defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, taken against him for any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust (including fraud) of which he may be guilty in relation to the Company or a related company.
