Notes:

 

  (i) The requirements for approval of each matter for resolution are as follows:

 

  •   For the First Item of the proposals, a majority vote of the shareholders entitled to vote and present at the General Shareholders’ Meeting

 

  •   For the Second and Third Item of the proposals, a majority vote of the shareholders present at the General Shareholders’ Meeting who hold shares representing in aggregate not less than one-third (1/3) of the voting rights of all shareholders entitled to vote

 

  (ii) The ratio of affirmative votes is the ratio of the aggregate of the number of voting rights exercised prior to the General Shareholders’ Meeting and the number of votes by the shareholders present at the General Shareholders’ Meeting, through which approval was able to be ascertained for each of the proposals, against the aggregate of the number of voting rights exercised prior to the General Shareholders’ Meeting and the number of voting rights of all the shareholders present at the General Shareholders’ Meeting.

 

  (4) Reasons for not including certain number of votes by shareholders present at the meeting in the number of votes mentioned above

The aggregate number of (a) the voting rights exercised prior to the General Shareholders’ Meeting and (b) the votes by shareholders present at the General Shareholders’ Meeting, through which approval or disapproval was able to be ascertained for each of the proposals, was sufficient to meet the approval requirements and therefore the matters were duly resolved under the Company Law. Accordingly, the number of votes by the shareholders present at the General Shareholders’ Meeting, but for which approval, disapproval or abstention for each proposal could not be confirmed, were not included in the numbers of affirmative votes/negative votes/abstentions mentioned in paragraph (3) above.
