CORPORATE COMMUNICATION
CORPORATE COMMUNICATION REQUESTS
Corporate Communication refers to any document issued or to be issued by HKE Holdings Limited (the “Company”) for the information or action of holders of any of its securities, including, but not limited to, the directors’report and annual accounts together with a copy of the auditor’s report, the interim report, a notice of meeting, a listing document, a circular, a proxy form and a reply form.
The English and Chinese versions of all Corporate Communications are available on the Company’s website and the Stock Exchange website. Shareholders and investors who would like to be notified when the Company publishes its Corporate Communications on the Stock Exchange website can register for the News Alerts service in the Market Data section of the HKEX Market website.
Pursuant to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the Company’s Articles of Association, the Company supplies Corporate Communications (also Actionable Corporate Communications) to shareholders by electronic means through the Company’s website and the Stock Exchange website (“Website Version”), provided that the relevant shareholders have provided email address to receiving the Website Version.
Where a Corporate Communication is issued to seek instructions from the Company’s registered shareholders on how they wish to exercise their rights or make an election as shareholders (“Actionable Corporate Communications”), the Actionable Corporate Communications will be sent to registered shareholders individually by post to the shareholders’ addresses as they appear in the Company’s register of members. For the avoidance of doubt, Actionable Corporate Communications do not include notices of general meetings and proxy forms.
