Reference is made to the announcement dated 7 July 2017 (the “Announcement”) in relation to the resignation of Mr. Pan Fei (“Mr. Pan”) from his position as an independent non-executive Director, Chairman of the Audit Committee and member of the Strategy Committee of the Company. The resignation of Mr. Pan will lead the Board to have less than the minimum proportion of independent non-executive directors required by the Articles of Association and so Mr. Pan’s resignation will only become effective after a new Director has been appointed to fill the vacancy in accordance with the Articles of Association. At the EGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to elect Ms. Li Yuanqin (“Ms. Li”) as an independent non-executive Director. It is believed that Ms. Li possesses the relevant experience and qualifications required of an independent non-executive director of a listed company and that she should be elected. Ms. Li is considered to be independent having considered the factors set out in Rule 3.13 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules. The biography of Ms. Li Yuanqin proposed for election at the EGM is set out in Appendix I to this supplemental circular.

 

III. SUPPLEMENTAL NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING AND REVISED PROXY FORM

As a result of the proposed election of Ms. Li Yuanqin at the EGM subsequent to the despatch of the EGM Notice and the form of proxy (the “Initial Proxy Form”) on 15 June 2017 and the Circular on 29 June 2017, a supplemental notice of EGM is set out on pages 6 to 7 of this supplemental circular and a revised form of proxy (the “Revised Proxy Form”) is also enclosed with this supplemental circular.

Whether or not you are able to attend the EGM, you should complete and return the enclosed Revised Proxy Form in accordance with the instructions printed thereon to Hong Kong Registrars Limited at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong as soon as practicable and in any event not less than 24 hours before the time for holding the EGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be).

Special arrangements about completion and submission of the Revised Proxy Form are set out in the supplemental notice of EGM. Shareholders who have appointed or intended to appoint proxy(ies) to attend the EGM are requested to pay particular attention to the special arrangements set out therein.

Completion and return of the Initial Proxy Form and/or the Revised Proxy Form will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the EGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be).

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, all votes at the EGM will be taken by poll and the Company will announce the results of the poll in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules.
