Issued capital

As at the date of the AGM, the number of issued shares of the Company was 2,559,242,628 ordinary shares, which was the total number of shares entitling the holders to attend and vote for or against all the resolutions at the AGM.  In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association, on a poll every member present in person or by proxy has one vote for every share held.

There were no restrictions on shareholders to cast votes on any of the resolutions proposed at the AGM, with the exception of Resolution 22 where the Chairman, executive directors and their associates were required by provisions of the Hong Kong listing rules to abstain from voting. Votes withheld are not votes in law and therefore have not been counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes for and against a resolution. The Electoral Reform Services were appointed as the scrutineer for vote-taking at the AGM.
