Proxies. Shareholders of Record: Each shareholder of record (i.e., a Member) entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting may appoint the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting as his/her proxy to attend, speak and vote on his or her behalf. The Chairman of the Annual General Meeting acting in his/her capacity as a proxy need not be a shareholder of record. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual General Meeting, please follow the instructions on the enclosed proxy card to either (i) vote by internet, (ii) vote by phone, or (iii) vote by mail no later than the Cut-Off Time.

You may revoke your proxy at any time prior to the time it is voted by providing appropriate written notice to Vote Processing, c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717 before the Cut-Off Time.

 

Beneficial Shareholders: In order for your vote to be counted at the Annual General Meeting, you must be a shareholder of record as at the Cut-Off Date. Your broker, bank, nominee or other institution will send a voting instruction form for you to use to direct how your shares should be voted. You must cast your votes no later than the Cut-Off Time (or within such other period prior to the Annual General Meeting as may be specified by the Depository Trust Company’s (the “DTC”), or DTC participants’ procedures). If you would like to revoke your proxy, please contact the broker, bank, nominee or other institution which holds your Shares to determine how to change or revoke your voting instructions. If you received this Notice and have sold or transferred all of your Shares, you should immediately forward this Notice, the Proxy Statement and Proxy Card to the purchaser or transferee, or to the broker, bank, nominee, or other institution through whom the sale was effected, for onward transmission to the purchaser or transferee. If you become a beneficial holder of the Shares after the Record Date, but before Cut-Off Time, and you wish to vote your Shares, you must become a “shareholder of record” prior to the Cut-Off Time and vote as a “shareholder of record”. Please contact your broker, bank, nominee, or other institution holding your Shares if you wish to become a “shareholder of record”. Alternatively, you can email ir@eqonex.com your details prior to the Cut-Off Time attaching a copy of the Proxy Card from the vendor or transferor that you purchased your Shares from.
