Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meanings given to them in the Deposit Agreement.

 

As set forth in Section 4.10 of the Deposit Agreement, a Holder of record of ADSs, as of the close of business on the ADS Record Date, will be entitled, subject to applicable law, the provisions of the Deposit Agreement, the Articles of Association of the Company, and the provisions of the Deposited Securities, to vote, or cause the Custodian to vote, the Deposited Securities (in person or by proxy) represented by such Holder’s ADSs.

 

Holders of ADSs wishing to give Voting Instructions to the Depositary must sign, complete, and return the enclosed Voting Instructions prior to the ADS Voting Instructions Deadline in the enclosed pre-addressed envelope.

 

The Depositary has been advised by the Company that voting at the Meetings will be by poll.

 

Voting Instructions may be given only in respect of a number of ADSs representing an integral number of Deposited Securities. Upon the timely receipt from a Holder of ADSs as of the ADS Record Date of the Voting Instructions in the manner specified by the Depositary, the Depositary shall endeavor, insofar as practicable and permitted under applicable law, the provisions of the Deposit Agreement, the Articles of Association of the Company and the provisions of the Deposited Securities, to vote, or cause the Custodian to vote, the Deposited Securities (in person or by proxy) represented by such Holder’s ADSs in accordance with the Voting Instructions timely received from the Holders of ADSs. If the Depositary does not receive Voting Instructions from a Holder as of the ADS Record Date on or before the date established by the Depositary for such purpose, the Deposited Securities represented by such Holder’s ADSs will not be voted at the Meetings.

 

Neither the Depositary nor the Custodian shall under any circumstances exercise any discretion as to voting and neither the Depositary nor the Custodian shall vote, attempt to exercise the right to vote, or in any way make use of for purposes of establishing a quorum or otherwise, the Deposited Securities represented by ADSs, except pursuant to and in accordance with the Voting Instructions timely received from Holders or as otherwise contemplated herein and in the Voting Instructions Card. If the Depositary timely receives Voting Instructions from a Holder which fail to specify the manner in which the Depositary is to vote the Deposited Securities represented by such Holder’s ADSs, the Depositary will deem such Holder to have instructed the Depositary to vote in favor of the items set forth in such Voting Instructions. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, the Depositary shall, if so requested in writing by the Company, represent all Deposited Securities (whether or not Voting Instructions have been received in respect of such Deposited Securities from Holders as of the ADS Record Date) for the sole purpose of establishing quorum at a meeting of shareholders.

 

Please note that the Deposit Agreement provides that, in connection with the Meetings, the Depositary shall not be responsible for instructions not carried out or for the manner in which such instructions are carried out or the effect of any such action or omission, provided that such action or omission is without negligence and in good faith.

 

Holders of ADSs who wish to attend either or all of the Meetings must take steps to present their ADSs to the Depositary for cancellation before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on June 18, 2019 (subject to the relevant Holder’s compliance with the terms of the Deposit Agreement and payment of the Depositary’s fees), together with: (i) delivery instructions for the Deposited Securities represented by such ADSs (including, if applicable, the name and address of the person who will be the registered holder of such Deposited Securities); and (ii) if the cancellation is to take place before the Meetings, a certification that the Holder: (x) beneficially owned the relevant ADSs as of the ADS Record Date and has not given, and will not give, voting instructions to the Depositary in respect of such ADSs in relation to the Meetings (or has cancelled all voting instructions previously given); (y) beneficially owned the relevant ADSs as of the ADS Record Date and has given voting instructions to the Depositary in respect of such ADSs in relation to the Meetings, but undertakes not to vote the Deposited Securities represented by such ADSs at the Meetings; or (z) did not beneficially own the relevant ADSs as of the ADS Record Date, but undertakes not to vote the Deposited Securities represented by such ADSs at the Meetings.  Holders of ADSs who hold their ADSs in a brokerage, bank, custodian or other nominee account should promptly contact their broker, bank or other nominee to find out what actions are required to instruct the broker, bank or other nominee to cancel the ADSs on their behalf.  Holders of ADSs who present their ADSs to the Depositary for cancellation prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on June 18, 2019 in order to take delivery of Deposited Securities will be responsible for the payment of the Depositary’s fees associated with such cancellation.
