In accordance with the Takeovers Code and the Listing Rules, only the Independent Shareholders (i.e. the Shareholders other than (i) the Subscribers and their respective associates (as defined under the Listing Rules) and concert parties (as defined under the Takeovers Code); and (ii) Shareholders who are involved or interested in the Subscriptions, namely Mr. Cheung and Mr. So) are entitled to vote at the Postponed SGM in respect of the resolutions No. 1 and 2, i.e. the resolutions to approve the Subscriptions and the granting of the Specific Mandates.

As at the date of the Postponed SGM, (a) the Subscribers and their respective associates (as defined under the Listing Rules) and concert parties (as defined under the Takeovers Code) do not own any Shares; and (b) Mr. Cheung and Mr. So hold 68,859,000 Shares and 325,211,000 Shares respectively.

The Subscribers and their respective associates (as defined under the Listing Rules) and concert parties (as defined under the Takeovers Code), Mr. Cheung and Mr. So did not vote on the resolutions Nos. 1 and 2 at the Postponed SGM.

No existing Shareholder has a material interest in the Capital Reorganisation and therefore no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting in relation to the resolution No. 3, i.e. the resolution to approve the Capital Reorganisation. Accordingly, the total number of Shares entitling the holders to attend and vote in respect of the resolution No. 3 at the Postponed SGM was 3,245,519,752 Shares.

Save as disclosed above, to the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, having made all reasonable inquiries, there were no other Shareholders who are required under the Listing Rules and/or the Takeovers Code to abstain from voting at the Postponed SGM, and there were no Shares entitling the Shareholders to attend and abstain from voting in favour of the Resolution at the Postponed SGM as required by Rule 13.40 of the Listing Rules.
