MANNER FOR DISSEMINATION OF CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS TO THE SHAREHOLDERS

Pursuant to Rule 2.07A of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities (the “Listing Rules”) on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “HKEx”) and the articles of association of the Company, the Company will disseminate the future Corporate Communications of the Company to its shareholders electronically and only send Corporate Communications in printed form to the shareholders upon request. Shareholders need to proactively check the Company’s website or the HKEx’s website to keep up with the publication of Corporate Communications.

• A one-time notification will be sent to shareholders individually in hard copy to inform them that the Corporate Communications ^{Note 1} will be disseminated electronically and will request them to provide their electronic contact details to the Company ^{Note 2}, unless the relevant shareholders elect to receive such Corporate Communications in hard copy.

• The Company will send the Actionable Corporate Communications ^{Note 3} to shareholders individually in electronic form (by email). If the Company does not possess the email address of a shareholder or the email address provided is not valid or functional, the Company will send the Actionable Corporate Communication in printed form.

• The Company will send a printed copy of the Corporate Communications to the shareholders free of charge upon their request. Shareholders may request for a printed copy of the Corporate Communications by sending their request (specifying their name, address and request) (a) in writing to the Company’s share registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong; or (b) via email to cmport.ecom@computershare.com.hk.

• The Company will send a notification letter to the shareholders periodically to inform them that the Corporate Communications will be disseminated electronically (including a request for the shareholders’ functional electronic contact details) ^{Note 2} or to receive the Corporate Communications in hard copy.

• If the Company intends to adopt any new arrangements on dissemination of Corporate Communications (e.g., changing the mode of dissemination or adopting a different consent mechanism for electronic dissemination), it will send a one-time notification to the shareholders individually in hard copy or electronically ^{Note 4} to (a) inform them of the new arrangements (before implementation); and (b) solicit the electronic contact details of the shareholders.

  
  

• The above manner for dissemination of Corporate Communications to the shareholders of the Company may be amended from time to time pursuant to the relevant requirements under the Listing Rules and applicable laws and regulations.
