On a show of hands, each shareholder present may exercise one vote regardless of the number of votes held by such shareholder. The Company's Articles of Association and By-Laws permit certain persons to demand a vote by poll either before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands. As of the date hereof, these persons are (i) the chairman of the meeting, (ii) any three shareholders present at the meeting in person or by proxy, (iii) any shareholder (or shareholders) present at the meeting in person or by proxy and representing at least one-tenth of the total voting rights of the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting and (iv) any shareholder (or shareholders) present at the meeting in person or by proxy and holding shares representing at least one-tenth of the total paid-up share capital of the Company. If a vote by poll is held, each shareholder who is either physically present at the meeting or is not physically present but is voting by proxy has one vote per share; any shareholder so entitled to more than one vote need not cast all of its votes in the same manner. For purposes of the Company's Articles of Association and By-Laws, a shareholder that is a body corporate may appoint an authorized representative to attend the meeting through which the shareholder is effectively treated as being physically present. The foregoing is only a summary of certain provisions of the Company's Articles of Association and By-Laws and is qualified in its entirely by the full text of such Articles of Association and By-Laws, which are available for inspection at the office of the Depositary. The Depositary may (but shall not be required to) send a representative to meetings of the Company's shareholders. If a representative of the Depositary under this Section 4.07is present at a meeting of the Company's shareholders, and a vote by poll is demanded, the Depositary intends to support such demand. However, in the event no such motion is made, and such vote is therefore conducted by a show of hands, the Depositary shall cause the Deposited Securities represented by the American Depositary Shares to be voted in accordance with the majority vote of the written instructions of the Holders or Beneficial Owners timely received by the Depositary from such Holders or Beneficial Owners. In the event of a vote conducted by poll, the Depositary shall cause to be voted the Deposited Securities represented by the American Depositary Shares in accordance with instructions set forth in the written requests of the Holders or the Beneficial Owners. Among companies organized in Hong Kong with Articles of Association and By-Laws similar to those of the Company, votes by poll have been relatively rare. Consequently, a Holder may be unable as a practical matter to have its voting preferences expressed at a meeting of the Company's shareholders unless it withdraws from the deposit facility the Shares represented by the American Depositary Shares of such Holder (and pays the requisite fees for such withdrawal), causes the Shares to be registered in the Holder's name and attends (or sends a representative to) the meeting. Holders may receive insufficient notice of a meeting to permit such withdrawal and registration of the Shares prior to the record date for the meeting.
