Holders of ADSs Entitled to Vote; ADS Record Date

Holders of record of ADSs as of the close of business, New York time, on May 17, 2022 (the “ADS Record Date”) are entitled to execute and submit voting instructions to The Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary. Please be aware that, because of the time difference between Hong Kong and New York, if a holder of ADSs cancels his or her ADSs in exchange for ordinary shares on May 17, 2022, New York time, such holder of ADSs will not be able to instruct The Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary of the ADSs, as to how to vote the ordinary shares represented by the cancelled ADSs as described above, and will also not be a holder of those ordinary shares as of the record date applicable to holders of ordinary shares for the purpose of determining the eligibility to vote at and attend the 2022 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

Holders of ADSs who wish to exercise their voting rights for the underlying ordinary shares must act through The Bank of New York Mellon by submitting a voting instruction card to The Bank of New York Mellon. We have instructed The Bank of New York Mellon to disseminate to ADS holders a voting instruction card and a notice of meeting providing to ADS holders information with regard to the 2022 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders and a statement and instructions as to voting by ADS holders on or about May 27, 2022. If you wish to have The Bank of New York Mellon, through its nominee or nominees, vote the ordinary shares represented by your ADSs, you will need to execute and timely forward to The Bank of New York Mellon the voting instruction card sent to you by The Bank of New York Mellon in accordance with the instructions provided by The Bank of New York Mellon. The voting instruction card should be executed in such a manner as to show clearly how you wish to vote in regard to each matter to be considered at the 2022 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

Upon the timely receipt of a properly completed ADS voting instruction card by The Bank of New York Mellon, it, as depositary of the ADSs, will endeavor, to the extent practicable and legally permissible, to vote or cause to be voted at the 2022 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders the amount of ordinary shares represented by the ADSs evidenced by American depositary receipts related to those ADSs, in accordance with the instructions set forth in the voting instruction card. The Bank of New York Mellon has advised us that it will not vote or attempt to exercise the right to vote other than in accordance with those instructions or as described in the paragraph below. As the holder of record for all the ordinary shares represented by the ADSs, only The Bank of New York Mellon may vote those ordinary shares at the 2022 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. Holders of ADSs may attend, but may not vote at, such meeting.

If (1) the ADS voting instruction card is signed but is missing voting instructions, (2) the enclosed ADS voting instruction card is improperly completed or (3) no ADS voting instruction card is received by The Bank of New York Mellon from a holder of ADSs prior to 5:00 p.m., New York Time, on June 8, 2022, The Bank of New York Mellon will deem such holder of ADSs to have instructed it to give a proxy to the chairman of the 2022 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to vote in favor of each proposal recommended by our board of directors and against each proposal opposed by our board of directors.
