Introduction

 

This form of proxy (the “Form of Proxy”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the board of directors of RYB Education, Inc. (the “Board”), a Cayman Islands company (the “Company”), of proxies from the holders of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares, par value US$0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares”) to be exercised at the Extraordinary general meeting of the Company (the “EGM”) to be held at 4/F, No. 28 Building, Fangguyuan Section 1, Fangzhuang Fengtai District, Beijing 100078, People’s Republic of China], at 10:00 am (Beijing Time) on May 13, 2022, and at any adjourned or postponed meeting thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying notice of the EGM (the “EGM Notice”).

 

Only the holders of record of the Ordinary Shares at the close of business on March 14, 2022 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the EGM. In respect of the matters requiring shareholders’ vote at the EGM, each Class A Ordinary Share is entitled to one vote and each Class B Ordinary Share is entitled to ten votes. The quorum of the EGM is one or more shareholders holding shares which carry in aggregate (or representing by proxy) not less than one-third of all votes attaching to all issued and outstanding shares and entitled to vote at the EGM, present in person or by proxy. This Form of Proxy and the accompanying EGM Notice will be first mailed to the shareholders of the Company on or about March 21, 2022.

 

The Ordinary Shares represented by all properly executed proxies returned to the Company will be voted at the EGM as indicated or, if no instruction is given, the holder of the proxy will vote the 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 EGM acts as proxy and is entitled to exercise his discretion, he is likely to vote the shares FOR the resolutions. As to any other business that may properly come before the EGM, all properly executed proxies will be voted by the persons named therein in accordance with their discretion. The Company does not presently know of any other business which may come before the EGM. However, if any other matter properly comes before the EGM, or any adjourned or postponed meeting thereof, which may properly be acted upon, unless otherwise indicated the proxies solicited hereby will be voted on such matter in accordance with the discretion of the proxy holders named therein. Any person giving a proxy has the right to revoke it at any time before it is exercised (i) by filing with the Company a duly signed revocation at its registered office at Maples Corporate Services Limited, PO Box 309, Ugland House, Grand Cayman, KY1-1104, Cayman Islands, with a copy delivered to its offices at 4/F, Building 28, Block 1, Fangguyuan, Fangzhuang, Fengtai District, Beijing 100078, People’s Republic of China, or (ii) by voting in person at the EGM.
