Arrangements for Electronic Dissemination of Corporate Communications
The English and Chinese versions of all the Company’s Corporate Communications* are available on the Company’s website and the website of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (“HKEX”) at www.hkexnews.hk (the “HKEXnews Website”, together with the Company Website, the “Websites”).
Pursuant to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the Articles of Association of the Company, the Company adopts the following arrangements for electronic dissemination of the Corporate Communications:
Corporate Communications*:
The Company will continue to disseminate Corporate Communications to its shareholders using electronic means through the Websites, and will only send Corporate Communications in printed form to a shareholder upon request.
Shareholders are encouraged to subscribe for the News Alert service provided by HKEX (currently at https://www.hkex.com.hk/eng/invest/user/login_e.aspx). Through the News Alert service, subscribers will receive alerts when the Company publishes regulatory notices on the HKEXnews Website or when disclosure of interest filings are made in respect of the Company.
Actionable Corporate Communications**:
The Company will send the Actionable Corporate Communications to shareholders individually in electronic form by email. It is the responsibility of the shareholders to provide an email address that is functional. If the Company does not have the email address of a shareholder or the email address provided by the shareholder is not functional, the Company will sent future Actionable Corporate Communications to registered shareholders individually by post at their addresses as appearing in the Company’s register of members maintained by the Company’s share registrar (as mentioned below) until such time a valid and functional email address is provided instead of making them available only on the Company’s website.
Non-registered Holders^:
The Company sends to each non-registered holder an email notification (if a valid and functional email address is provided) or a notification letter of the publication of the relevant Corporate Communications on the Company’s website unless the non-registered holder has elected to receive printed version of the Corporate Communications.
