CORPORATE COMMUNICATION REQUESTS
Corporate Communication refers to any document issued or to be issued by the Company for the information or action of holders of any of its securities, including, but not limited to, the directors’ report and annual accounts together with a copy of the auditor’s report, the interim report, a notice of meeting, a listing document, a circular and a proxy form.
The English and Chinese versions of all the Company’s Corporate Communication are available on the Company’s website at www.jinmaowy.com (the “Company’s website”) and the website of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited at www.hkexnews.hk (the “HKEX’s website”). Shareholders and investors who would like to be notified when the Company publishes its Corporate Communications on the HKEX’s website can register for the News Alerts service in the Market Data section of the HKEX Market website.
Pursuant to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”), the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the Company’s Articles of Association, the Company supplies Corporate Communications (including any corporate communication that seeks instructions from the Company’s securities holders on how they wish to exercise their rights or make an election as the Company’s securities holders (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include a notice of general meeting or proxy form) (the “Actionable Corporate Communication”)) to shareholders by electronic means through the Company’s website and the HKEX’s website (the “Website Version”), provided that the relevant shareholders have consented to receiving the Website Version.
The Company will seek consent from each new registered shareholder to receiving the Website Version of all future Corporate Communications. To promote electronic dissemination of Corporate Communications, similar consent will be sought from existing registered shareholders who have not provided valid and functional email addresses to the share registrar of the Company, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited (the “Share Registrar”), for receiving future Corporate Communications, whenever the Company publishes any Corporate Communication.
If the Company does not receive any response from a registered shareholder indicating his/her objection to access future Corporate Communications by electronic means through the Company’s website within a period of 28 days, and until the registered shareholder inform the Share Registrar, the registered shareholder will be deemed to have elected the Website Version instead of the printed copies (“Printed Version”). In such case, the Company will send to the registered shareholder by post at the registered shareholder’s address as appearing in the Company’s register of members maintained by the Share Registrar, (i) a notification letter for the publication of Corporate Communications on the Company’s website and (ii) all future Actionable Corporate Communications in printed form, until such time when the registered shareholder has provided a valid and a functional email address to the Share Registrar for receiving the same.
If a registered shareholder wishes to
· continue to receive future Corporate Communications issued by the Company (up to the time when the Company publishes its next annual report in the following year) in printed form; or
· only receive (i) email notifications for the publication of the relevant Corporate Communications on the Company’s website as and when Corporate Communications are published on the Company’s website and (ii) all future Actionable Corporate Communications in electronic form from the Company,
the registered shareholder may complete and submit the relevant Reply Form to the Share Registrar (See “Election of Language and Means of Receipt of Corporate Communications” below for details).
Non-registered shareholders may also request to receive the Printed Version of Corporate Communications issued by the Company (See “Election of Language and Means of Receipt of Corporate Communications” below for details). If a non-registered shareholder wishes to receive Corporate Communications from the Company pursuant to the Listing Rules, the non-registered shareholder should liaise with his/her/its bank(s), broker(s), custodian(s), nominee(s) or HKSCC Nominees Limited through which his/her/its shares are held (collectively, the “Intermediaries”) and provide his/her/its address or email address to his/her/its Intermediaries. If the Company does not receive the functional address or email address of the non-registered shareholder from the Intermediaries, until such time that the functional address or email address is provided to the Intermediaries, the non-registered shareholder may (i) be unable to receive any notifications regarding the publication of Corporate Communications; and (ii) need to proactively check the Company’s website and the HKEX’s website to keep up with the publication of Corporate Communications.
Upon posting of Corporate Communication(s) on the Company’s website,
· the Company will despatch the Printed Version of the Corporate Communication(s) to the registered shareholders' addresses pursuant to their request (See “Election of Language and Means of Receipt of Corporate Communications” below for details), or if consent (expressed or deemed) has not been sought from them to receiving the Website Version of Corporate Communications;
· a notification of posting of the Corporate Communication(s) on the Company’s website (and, if the Corporate Communication(s) posted on the Company’s website is/are Actionable Corporate Communication(s), such Corporate Communication(s) in electronic form) will be sent to registered shareholders who have expressly elected the Website Version and have provided valid and functional email addresses, by email. If any of these registered shareholders for any reason has difficulty in receiving or gaining access to the relevant Corporate Communication(s) electronically, or wishes to receive printed copies, the Company will promptly upon his/her written request send the Printed Version to him/her free of charge;
· if no valid and functional email addresses are provided by registered shareholders or registered shareholders are otherwise deemed to have consented to receiving the Website Version of Corporate Communications, the Company will send to such registered shareholders by post at their addresses as appearing in the Company’s register of members maintained by the Share Registrar, a notification letter for the publication of Corporate Communications on the Company’s website (and, if the Corporate Communication(s) posted on the Company’s website is/are Actionable Corporate Communication(s), such Corporate Communication(s) in printed form), until such time when the registered shareholders have provided valid and functional email addresses to the Share Registrar for receiving the same; and
· a notification of posting of the Corporate Communication(s) on the Company’s website will be sent by email, or if no email addresses are provided, by post (together with the Printed Version if requested), to non-registered shareholders whose shares in the Company (whether or not held through a broker or custodian) are kept in the Central Clearing and Settlement System (CCASS).
Registered shareholders and non-registered shareholders may at any time change their choice of language or means of receipt of Corporate Communications by giving written notice to the Share Registrar (See “Election of Language and Means of Receipt of Corporate Communications” below for details).
