Annual General Meeting financial
"NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING to be held on June 26, 2026"
Ordinary Shares financial
"par value US$0.00001 per share (“Ordinary Shares”)"
Ordinary shares are a type of ownership stake in a company, giving shareholders a right to participate in the company’s profits and decision-making through voting. They are similar to owning a piece of a business, and their value can rise or fall based on the company's performance. Investors buy ordinary shares to potentially earn dividends and benefit from the company's growth over time.
American Depositary Shares financial
"Holders of American Depositary Shares (the “ADSs”) as of the close of business"
American depositary shares (ADSs) are a way for investors in the United States to buy shares of foreign companies without dealing with international markets directly. They represent ownership in a foreign company's stock and are traded on U.S. stock exchanges, making it easier for American investors to buy, sell, and own parts of companies from around the world.
quorum financial
"shall be a quorum for all purposes"
A quorum is the minimum number of members needed to officially hold a meeting or make decisions. It ensures that decisions are made with enough participation to represent the group’s interests, much like a majority must be present for a vote to be valid. For investors, understanding quorum is important because it affects when and how important company or organization decisions can be legally made.
independent director financial
"as an independent director and the chairwoman of the audit committee"
An independent director is a member of a company's board of directors who is not involved in the company's day-to-day operations and has no significant relationships with the company that could influence their judgment. Their role is to provide unbiased oversight and ensure the company is managed in the best interests of all shareholders. This helps build trust and confidence among investors by promoting transparency and accountability.
deposit agreement financial
"Under the terms of the deposit agreement for the ADSs (the “Deposit Agreement”)"
A deposit agreement is a written contract between a customer and a financial institution that outlines the terms for opening and maintaining a deposit account, such as a savings or checking account. It explains important details like how funds can be accessed, any fees involved, and the institution’s responsibilities. For investors, understanding this agreement is important because it clarifies their rights and the rules governing their deposited funds.

RECORD DATE, SHARE OWNERSHIP AND QUORUM

 

Only holders of the Company’s ordinary shares, par value US$0.00001 per share (“Ordinary Shares”) of record as of the close of business on May 18, 2026, Hong Kong time (the “Ordinary Shares Record Date”) are entitled to attend and vote at the AGM.

 

Holders of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) issued by Citibank, N.A., as depositary of the ADSs, and representing our Ordinary Shares are not entitled to attend or vote at the AGM under the Company’s amended and restated memorandum of association (the “Memorandum”) and second amended and restated articles of association (the “Articles”). Please note that any ADS holder who appears at the venue of the AGM will not be allowed to attend the AGM. Holders of ADSs as of the close of business on May 18, 2026, New York time (the “ADS Record Date”) will be able to instruct Citibank, N.A., the depositary of the ADSs and the holder of record (through a nominee) of the Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs, as to how to vote the Ordinary Shares represented by such ADSs. Citibank, N.A., as depositary of the ADSs, will endeavor, to the extent practicable and legally permissible, to vote or cause to be voted at the AGM the Ordinary Shares it holds in respect of the ADSs in accordance with the instructions which it has timely and properly received from ADS holders.

 

One or more shareholders of the Company entitled to vote and present in person or by proxy or (in the case of a shareholder being a corporation) by its duly authorized representative representing not less than one-third in nominal value of the total issued voting shares in the Company, shall be a quorum for all purposes.

 

VOTING AND SOLICITATION

 

Each Ordinary Share issued and outstanding as of the close of business on the Ordinary Shares Record Date is entitled to one vote at the AGM. Each resolution put to the vote at the AGM will be decided by poll. Where required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, a shareholder of the Company who has a material interest in the matter to be approved by a particular resolution will be required to abstain from voting on such resolution.

VOTING BY HOLDERS OF ORDINARY SHARES

 

When proxy forms are properly dated, executed and returned by holders of Ordinary Shares to the mailing address set forth in the proxy form before 10:00 a.m., Hong Kong Time, on June 24, 2026 (the deadline for the return of such proxy forms), the Ordinary Shares represented by all properly executed proxies returned to the Company will be voted at the AGM as indicated or, if no instruction is given, the holder of the proxy will vote the Ordinary Shares in his discretion, unless a reference to the holder of the proxy having such discretion has been deleted and initialed on this Form of Proxy. Where the chairman of the AGM acts as proxy and is entitled to exercise his discretion, he is likely to vote the Ordinary Shares for the resolutions. As to any other business that may properly come before the AGM, all properly executed proxies will be voted by the persons named therein in accordance with their discretion. Where any holder of Ordinary Shares affirmatively abstains from voting on any particular resolution, the votes attaching to such Ordinary Shares will not be included or counted in the determination of the number of Ordinary Shares present and voting for the purposes of determining whether such resolution has been passed (but they will be counted for the purposes of determining the quorum, as described above).

  

VOTING BY HOLDERS OF ADSs

 

The nominee of Citibank, N.A. (the Depositary of the ADSs) is the holder of record for all the Ordinary Shares represented by the ADSs and as such the nominee is the only person who may attend and vote those Ordinary Shares at the AGM on behalf of the Depositary and the holders of ADSs.

 

We have requested Citibank, N.A., as Depositary of the ADSs, to distribute to all holders of record of ADSs as of the ADS Record Date, the notice of the AGM and an ADS Voting Card. Upon the timely receipt from any holders of record of ADSs of voting instructions in the manner specified, Citibank, N.A. will endeavor, to the extent practicable and legally permissible, to vote or cause to be voted the number of Ordinary Shares represented by the ADSs in accordance with such voting instructions. Under the terms of the deposit agreement for the ADSs (the “Deposit Agreement”), Citibank, N.A. will not vote or attempt to exercise the right to vote other than in accordance with such voting instructions or such deemed instructions as further described in the paragraphs below.

 

There is no guarantee that a holder of ADSs will receive the materials described above with sufficient time to enable such holder to return voting instructions to Citibank, N.A. in a timely manner, in which case the Ordinary Shares underlying your ADSs may not be voted in accordance with your wishes.

 

If an ADS voting card is missing voting instructions, Citibank, N.A. shall deem the holder of the ADSs in question to have instructed Citibank, N.A. to vote in favor of the items set forth in the ADS voting card. If an ADS Voting Card contains conflicting voting instructions as to any issue to be voted on at the AGM, Citibank, N.A. shall deem the holder of the ADSs in question to have instructed Citibank, N.A. to abstain from voting on such issue.

 

If no timely instructions are received by Citibank, N.A. from a holder of ADSs by 10:00 a.m., New York Time, June 17, 2026, under the terms of the Deposit Agreement, Citibank, N.A. will deem such holder of ADSs to have instructed it to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company to vote the Ordinary Shares represented by such holder’s ADSs, unless voting at the meeting is by show of hands and unless the Company has informed Citibank, N.A. that (x) the Company does not wish such proxy to be given, (y) substantial opposition exists, or (z) the rights of holders of Ordinary Shares may be materially adversely affected, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Agreement.

 

REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES AND ADS VOTING CARDS

 

Any proxy given by a holder of Ordinary Shares by means of a proxy form, and any voting instructions given by an ADS holder by means of an ADS voting card, pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked: (a) for holders of Ordinary Shares or ADSs, by submitting a written notice of revocation or a fresh proxy form or fresh ADS Voting Card, as the case may be, bearing a later date, which must be received by the deadlines for returning the proxy forms or ADS voting cards set forth above, or (b) for holders of Ordinary Shares only, by attending the AGM and voting in person.
