member shal be entitled to any such extension as a mater of grace and favour.

6.9 If the sum or any instalment payable in respect of any cal is unpaid on or before the day

or instalments due from him to the Company in respect of any cal, whether alone or jointly

with any other person, together with interest and expenses (if any) shal have ben paid.

6.11 At the trial or hearing of any action or other procedings for the recovery of any money due

the register as the holder, or one of the holders, of the shares in respect of which such debt

acrued; that the resolution making the cal is duly recorded in the minute bok; and that

notice of such cal was duly given to the member sued, in pursuance of these Articles; and it

shal not be necesary to prove the apointment of the Directors who made such cal, nor any

other maters whatsoever, and the prof of the maters aforesaid shal be conclusive evidence

of the debt.

6.12 Any sum which by the terms of alotment of a share is made payable upon alotment or at any

payable on the date fixed for payment, and in case of non-payment, al the relevant provisions

of these Articles as to payment of interest and expenses, liabilities of joint holders, forfeiture

and the like, shal aply as if such sum had become payable by virtue of a cal duly made and

notified.

6.13 The Board may, if it thinks fit, receive from any member wiling to advance the same,

and either in money or money’s worth, al or any part of the money uncaled and unpaid

or instalments payable upon any shares held by him, and upon al or any of the moneys so

advanced the Company may pay interest at such rate (if any) as the Board may decide. The

Board may at any time repay the amount so advanced upon giving to such member not les

than one month’s notice in writing of its intention in that behalf, unles before the expiration

of such notice the amount so advanced shal have ben caled up on the shares in respect of

which it was advanced. No such sum paid in advance of cals shal entitle the member paying

such sum to any portion of a dividend declared in respect of any period prior to the date upon

which such sum would, but for such payment, become presently payable.

7.8 Upon every transfer of shares, the certificate held by the transferor shal be given up to

be canceled and shal forthwith be canceled acordingly and a new certificate shal be

isued, on payment by the transfere of such fe not exceding the maximum amount as

the Exchange may from time to time determine to be payable or such leser sum as the

Board may from time to time require, to the transfere in respect of the shares transfered

to him and, if any of the shares included in the certificate so given up shal be retained by

the transferor, a new certificate in respect thereof shal be isued to him, on payment by the

transferor of such fe not exceding the maximum amount as the Exchange may from time to

time determine to be payable or such leser sum as the Board may from time to time require.

which notices may be served by the Company by electronic means as herein provided or

by advertisement published in the newspapers, be suspended and the register closed at such

times for such periods as the Board may from time to time determine, provided always that

such registration shal not be suspended or the register closed for more than 30 days in any

year (or such longer period as the members may by ordinary resolution determine provided

that such period shal not be extended beyond 60 days in any year). In the event that there is

an alteration of bok closure dates, the Company shal give at least 5 busines days’ notice

before the anounced closure, or the new closure, whichever is earlier. If, however, there

are exceptional circumstances (e.g. during a Number 8 or higher typhon signal and black

rainstorm warning) that render the giving of such publication of advertisement imposible,

the Company shal comply with these requirements as son as practicable.

8 Transmision of Shares

8.1 In the case of the death of a member, the survivor or survivors where the deceased was a joint

holder, and the legal personal representatives of the deceased where he was a sole holder,

member had not ocured and the notice or transfer were a transfer executed by such member.

8.4 A person becoming entitled to a share by reason of the death or bankruptcy or winding-up of

the holder shal be entitled to the same dividends and other advantages to which he would be

entitled if he were the registered holder of the share. However, the Board may, if it thinks fit,

withold the payment of any dividend payable or other advantages in respect of such share

until such person shal become the registered holder of the share or shal have efectualy

transfered such share, but, subject to the requirements of Article 14.3 being met, such a

person may vote at metings.

9 Forfeiture of Shares

9.1 If a member fails to pay any cal or instalment of a cal on the day apointed for payment

thereof, the Board may, at any time during such time as any part thereof remains unpaid,

without prejudice to the provisions of Article 6.10, serve a notice on him requiring payment

of so much of the cal or instalment as is unpaid, together with any interest which may have

acrued and which may stil acrue up to the date of actual payment.

9.2 The notice shal name a further day (not earlier than the expiration of 14 days from the date

the notice is to be made, and shal state that in the event of non-payment at or before the time

and at the place apointed, the shares in respect of which the cal was made or instalment is

share, and not actualy paid before the forfeiture.

9.4 Any share so forfeited shal be demed to be the property of the Company, and may be re-

aloted sold or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such maner as the Board thinks

fit and at any time before a re-alotment, sale or disposition the forfeiture may be canceled

by the Board on such terms as it thinks fit.


9.5 A person whose shares have ben forfeited shal cease to be a member in respect of the

forfeited shares but shal, notwithstanding this, remain liable to pay to the Company al

moneys which, at the date of forfeiture, were payable by him to the Company in respect of

the shares, together with (if the Board shal in its discretion so require) interest thereon from

the date of forfeiture until payment at such rate not exceding 15% per anum as the Board

may prescribe, and the Board may enforce the payment thereof if it thinks fit, and without

any deduction or alowance for the value of the shares forfeited, at the date of forfeiture.

For the purposes of this Article any sum which, by the terms of isue of a share, is payable

thereon at a fixed time which is subsequent to the date of forfeiture, whether on acount of

the nominal value of the share or by way of premium, shal notwithstanding that time has not

and payable imediately upon the forfeiture, but interest thereon shal only be payable in

respect of any period betwen the said fixed time and the date of actual payment.

9.6 A statutory declaration in writing that the declarant is a Director or Secretary, and that a

share in the Company has ben duly forfeited on a date stated in the declaration, shal be

re-alotment, sale or disposition thereof and the Board may authorise any person to execute

a leter of re-alotment or transfer the share in favour of the person to whom the share is re-

aloted, sold or disposed of and he shal thereupon be registered as the holder of the share,

nor shal his title to the share be afected by any iregularity or invalidity in the procedings

in reference to the forfeiture, re-alotment, sale or other disposal of the share.

9.7 When any share shal have ben forfeited, notice of the forfeiture shal be given to the

member in whose name it stod imediately prior to the forfeiture, and an entry of the

forfeiture, with the date thereof, shal forthwith be made in the register. Notwithstanding the

above, no forfeiture shal be in any maner invalidated by any omision or neglect to give

such notice as aforesaid.

9.8 Notwithstanding any such forfeiture as aforesaid, the Board may at any time, before any

share so forfeited shal have ben re-aloted, sold, or otherwise disposed of, permit the share

forfeited to be redemed upon the terms of payment of al cals and interest due upon and

expenses incured in respect of the share, and upon such further terms (if any) as it thinks fit.

9.9 The forfeiture of a share shal not prejudice the right of the Company to any cal already

made or instalment payable thereon.

9.10 The provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture shal aply in the case of non-payment of

any sum which, by the terms of isue of a share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether

on acount of the nominal value of the share or by way of premium, as if the same had ben

payable by virtue of a cal duly made and notified.

of larger amount, the Board may setle any dificulty which may arise as it thinks

expedient and in particular (but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing)

may as betwen the holders of shares to be consolidated determine which particular

shares are to be consolidated into each consolidated share, and if it shal hapen that

any person shal become entitled to fractions of a consolidated share or shares, such

fractions may be sold by some person apointed by the Board for that purpose and the

person so apointed may transfer the shares so sold to the purchaser thereof and the

validity of such transfer shal not be questioned, and so that the net proceds of such

sale (after deduction of the expenses of such sale) may either be distributed among the

persons who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction or fractions of a consolidated

share or shares rateably in acordance with their rights and interests or may be paid to

the Company for the Company’s benefit;

14.4 Where there are joint registered holders of any share, any one of such persons may vote

at any meting, either personaly or by proxy, in respect of such share as if he were solely

stead at any one general meting (or at any one clas meting).

14.9 The instrument apointing a proxy shal be in writing under the hand of the apointor or of

of transmision to the Company. No instrument apointing a proxy shal be valid after the

meting of the Company or at any general meting of any clas of members of the Company

shal specify the number and clas of shares in respect of which each such person is so

authorised. The person so authorised wil be demed to have ben duly authorised without

the ned of producing any documents of title, notarised authorisation and/or further evidence

to substantiate that it is so authorised. A person so authorised pursuant to this provision shal

could exercise as if such person were an individual member of the Company holding the

16.3 The Company may from time to time in general meting by ordinary resolution increase or

reduce the number of Directors but so that the number of Directors shal not be les than

thre. Subject to the provisions of these Articles and the Act, the Company may by ordinary

resolution elect any person to be a Director either to fil a casual vacancy or as an adition

to the existing Directors. The re-election of an Independent Non-Executive Director who

has held such ofice for more than nine years shal require separate aproval of an ordinary

resolution of the members in general meting and the Board shal provide reasons to the

members prior to the general meting as to why it believes such Independent Non-Executive

Director is stil independent and should be re-elected.

16.4 No person shal, unles recomended by the Board, be eligible for election to the ofice of

Director at any general meting unles during the period, which shal be at least seven days,

comencing no earlier than the day after the despatch of the notice of the meting apointed

managing Director or other executive Director) before the expiration of his term of ofice

notwithstanding anything in these Articles or in any agrement betwen the Company and

such Director and may by ordinary resolution elect another person in his stead. Any person

so elected shal hold ofice during such time only as the Director in whose place he is elected

would have held the same if he had not ben removed. Nothing in this Article should be taken

as depriving a Director removed under any provisions of this Article of compensation or

damages payable to him in respect of the termination of his apointment as Director or of any

other apointment or ofice as a result of the termination of his apointment as Director or as

derogatory from any power to remove a Director which may exist apart from the provision of

this Article.

16.7 A Director may at any time by notice in writing delivered to the registered ofice of the

Company, the principal ofice of the Company in Hong Kong or at a meting of the Board,

apoint any person (including another Director) to be his alternate Director in his place

subject to being so aproved, provided that the Board may not withold aproval of any such

apointment where the proposed apointe is a Director.

waive (in lieu of his apointor) notices of metings of the Directors and shal be entitled to

atend and vote as a Director and be counted in the quorum at any such meting at which the

Director apointing him is not personaly present and generaly at such meting to perform

al the functions of his apointor as a Director and for the purposes of the procedings at such

meting the provisions of these Articles shal aply as if he (instead of his apointor) were

a Director. If he shal be himself a Director or shal atend any such meting as an alternate

for more than one Director his voting rights shal be cumulative and he ned not use al his

votes or cast al the votes he uses in the same way. If his apointor is for the time being

absent from Hong Kong or otherwise not available or unable to act (as to which a certificate

by the alternate shal in the absence of actual notice to the contrary to other Directors be

conclusive), his signature to any resolution in writing of the Directors shal be as efective as

the signature of his apointor. To such extent as the Board may from time to time determine

in relation to any comite of the Board, the provisions of this Article shal also aply

mutatis mutandis to any meting of any such comite of which his apointor is a member.

An alternate Director shal not, save as aforesaid, have power to act as a Director nor shal he

be demed to be a Director for the purposes of these Articles.


16.10 An alternate Director shal be entitled to contract and be interested in and benefit from

contracts or arangements or transactions and to be repaid expenses and to be indemnified

to the same extent mutatis mutandis as if he were a Director, but he shal not be entitled

to receive from the Company in respect of his apointment as alternate Director any

remuneration except only such part (if any) of the remuneration otherwise payable to his

apointor as such apointor may by notice in writing to the Company from time to time

16.11 In adition to the provisions of Articles 16.7 to 16.10, a Director may be represented at any

meting of the Board (or of any comite of the Board) by a proxy apointed by him, in

which event the presence or vote of the proxy shal for al purposes be demed to be that of

the Director. A proxy ned not himself be a Director and the provisions of Articles 14.8 to

14.13 shal aply mutatis mutandis to the apointment of proxies by Directors save that an

instrument apointing a proxy shal not become invalid after the expiration of twelve months

from its date of execution but shal remain valid for such period as the instrument shal

provide or, if no such provision is made in the instrument, until revoked in writing and save

also that a Director may apoint any number of proxies although only one such proxy may

atend in his stead at metings of the Board (or of any comite of the Board).

16.12 A Director ned not hold any qualification shares. No Director shal be required to vacate

ofice or be ineligible for re-election or re-apointment as a Director and no person shal be

ineligible for apointment as a Director by reason only of his having atained any particular

age.

16.13 The Directors shal be entitled to receive by way of remuneration for their services such

sum as shal from time to time be determined by the Company in general meting or by the

Board, as the case may be, such sum (unles otherwise directed by the resolution by which it

they may agre, or failing agrement, equaly, except that in such event any Director holding

ofice for les than the whole of the relevant period in respect of which the remuneration is

paid shal only rank in such division in proportion to the time during such period for which

he has held ofice. Such remuneration shal be in adition to any other remuneration to which

a Director who holds any salaried employment or ofice in the Company may be entitled by

reason of such employment or ofice.

16.14 Payment to any Director or past Director of any sum by way of compensation for los of

ofice or as consideration for or in conection with his retirement from ofice (not being

16.15 The Directors shal be entitled to be paid al expenses, including travel expenses, reasonably

incured by them in or in conection with the performance of their duties as Directors

the discharge of their duties as Directors.

16.16 The Board may grant special remuneration to any Director, who shal perform any special

or extra services at the request of the Company. Such special remuneration may be made

payable to such Director in adition to or in substitution for his ordinary remuneration as a

Director, and may be made payable by way of salary, comision or participation in profits

or otherwise as may be agred.


16.17 The remuneration of an Executive Director (as apointed acording to Article 17.1) or a

Director apointed to any other ofice in the management of the Company shal from time

16.18 The ofice of a Director shal be vacated:

(a) if he resigns his ofice by notice in writing to the Company at its registered ofice or its

principal ofice in Hong Kong;

(b) if an order is made by any competent court or oficial on the grounds that he is or may

be sufering from mental disorder or is otherwise incapable of managing his afairs and

the Board resolves that his ofice be vacated;

(c) if, without leave, he is absent from metings of the Board (unles an alternate Director

apointed by him atends in his place) for a continuous period of 12 months, and the

Board resolves that his ofice be vacated;

or compounds with his creditors generaly;

(g) if he shal be removed from ofice by an ordinary resolution under Article 16.6.

At every anual general meting of the Company one-third of the Directors for the time being

than, one-third) shal retire from ofice by rotation provided that every Director (including

those apointed for a specific term) shal be subject to retirement by rotation at least once

every thre years. Any Director required to stand for re-election pursuant to Article 16.2

shal not be taken into acount in determining the number of Directors and which Directors

are to retire by rotation. A retiring Director shal retain ofice until the close of the meting

at which he retires and shal be eligible for re-election thereat. The Company at any anual

general meting at which any Directors retire may fil the vacated ofice by electing a like

number of persons to be Directors.

on that acount of being avoided, nor shal any Director so contracting or being any member

or so interested be liable to acount to the Company for any profit so realised by any such

contract or arangement by reason only of such Director holding that ofice or the fiduciary

relationship thereby established, provided that such Director shal, if his interest in such

contract or arangement is material, declare the nature of his interest at the earliest meting

of the Board at which it is practicable for him to do so, either specificaly or by way of a

general notice stating that, by reason of the facts specified in the notice, he is to be regarded

as interested in any contracts of a specified description which may subsequently be made by

the Company.

16.20 Any Director may continue to be or become a director, managing director, joint managing

director, deputy managing director, executive director, manager or other oficer or member

of any other company in which the Company may be interested and (unles otherwise

agred betwen the Company and the Director) no such Director shal be liable to acount

to the Company or the members for any remuneration or other benefits received by him as

a director, managing director, joint managing director, deputy managing director, executive

director, manager or other oficer or member of any such other company. The Directors may

exercise the voting powers confered by the shares in any other company held or owned by

the Company, or exercisable by them as directors of such other company in such maner

in al respects as they think fit (including the exercise thereof in favour of any resolution

apointing themselves or any of them directors, managing directors, joint managing directors,

deputy managing directors, executive directors, managers or other oficers of such company)

and any Director may vote in favour of the exercise of such voting rights in maner aforesaid

to any other Article.
