To consider and, if thought fit, pass the following ordinary resolutions to ratify the appointment of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Certified Public Accountants LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2022.

 

The Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) previously, on July 18, 2022, appointed Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Certified Public Accountants LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2022. Although the Company’s governing documents do not require the submission of this matter to shareholders, the Board considers it desirable that the appointment of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Certified Public Accountants LLP be ratified by shareholders.

 

The Board has provided the following resolution for approval by the Company’s shareholders:

 

RESOLVED THAT, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Certified Public Accountants LLP be, and hereby is, ratified as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2022.”

 

The Board has fixed the close of business on July 25, 2022 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for determining the shareholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the AGM or any adjourned or postponed meeting thereof. The Board recommends the shareholders to vote FOR the resolutions.

 

The Company’s ordinary shares are divided into Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. In respect of the matters requiring shareholders’ vote at the AGM, each Class A ordinary share is entitled to one vote, and each Class B ordinary share is entitled to 20 votes. Shares underlying the Company’s American depositary shares (“ADSs”) are Class A ordinary shares. Each ADS represents one Class A ordinary share.

Holders of ADSs who wish to exercise their voting rights for the underlying Class A shares must act through The Bank of New York Mellon, the depositary of the Company’s ADS program (the “Depositary”), by submitting a Voting Instruction Card to the Depositary.
