Revocability of Proxies

 

Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by the person attending the AGM and voting in person.

 

Record Date, Share Ownership and Quorum

 

Only shareholders of record at the close of business on April 24, 2014 are entitled to vote at the AGM. Our class A ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per share (“Class A Ordinary Shares”), that underlie American depositary shares (“ADSs”) are included for purposes of this determination. As of April 24, 2014, 601,340,285 of our ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per share (“Ordinary Shares”), were outstanding, including 317,325,360 Class B ordinary shares and 284,014,925 Class A Ordinary Shares. Approximately 276,399,336 Class A Ordinary Shares were represented by ADSs held by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas. Two shareholders entitled to vote and  present in person or by proxy or (in the case of a shareholder being a corporation) by its duly authorized representative representing not less than one-third in nominal value of the total issued voting shares of the Company throughout  the AGM will constitute a quorum for all purposes.

 



 

Voting and Solicitation

 

Each Class A Ordinary Share in issue on the record date is entitled to one vote, and each Class B ordinary share in issue on the record date is entitled to 1.3 votes. A resolution put to the vote at the AGM will be decided on by a show of hands unless (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands or on the withdrawal of any other demand for a poll) a poll is demanded by (i) the chairman of the AGM, or (ii) any one shareholder present in person or in the case of a shareholder being a corporation by its duly authorized representative or by proxy for the time being entitled to vote at the AGM.

 

Copies of solicitation materials will be furnished to all holders of ordinary shares of the Company, including banks, brokerage houses, fiduciaries and custodians holding in their names our ordinary shares or ADSs beneficially owned by others to forward to those beneficial owners.

 

Voting by Holders of Ordinary Shares

 

When proxies are properly dated, executed and returned by holders of ordinary shares, the ordinary shares they represent will be voted at the AGM, or at any adjournment thereof, in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder. If no specific instructions are given by such holders, the proxy holder will vote or abstain at his/ her discretion, as he/ she will on any other matters that may properly come before the AGM, or at any adjournment thereof. Abstentions by holders of ordinary shares are included in the determination of the number of ordinary shares present and voting but are not counted as votes for or against a proposal.

 

Voting by Holders of ADSs

 

We have requested Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as depositary of the ADSs, to mail to all owners of ADSs this proxy statement, the accompanying notice of annual general meeting and an ADR Voting Instruction Card. Upon the timely receipt from an owner of record of ADSs of written voting instructions in the manner specified, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas will endeavor, to the extent practicable and legally permissible, to vote or cause to be voted the amount of ordinary shares represented by the ADSs, evidenced by American Depositary Receipts related to those ADSs, in accordance with such voting instructions. Under the terms of the deposit agreement, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas will not vote or attempt to exercise the right to vote other than in accordance with such voting instructions or such deemed instructions as further described two paragraphs below.  As the holder of record for all the Class A Ordinary Shares represented by the ADSs, only Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas may vote those Class A Ordinary Shares at the AGM.

 

2



 

There is no guarantee that holders of the ADSs or any such holder in particular will receive the notice described above with sufficient time to enable such holder to return any voting instructions to Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas in a timely manner, in which case the Class A Ordinary Shares underlying your ADSs may not be voted in accordance with your wishes.

 

If (i) the enclosed ADR Voting Instruction Card is missing voting instructions, (ii) the enclosed ADR Voting Instruction Card is improperly completed or (iii) no ADR Voting Instruction Card is received by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas from a holder of ADSs by 3:00 p.m. (New York City time), May 30, 2014, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas will deem such holder of ADSs to have instructed it to give a proxy to the chairman of the AGM to vote in favor of each proposal recommended by our board of directors and against each proposal opposed by our board of directors, unless the Company has informed Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas that such proxy should not be given, in accordance with the terms of the deposit agreement.

In accordance with the provisions of the Deposit Agreement governing the ADSs, registered holders of ADRs (“Holders”) at the close of business (NY time) on the ADS Record Date set forth above will be entitled, subject to applicable law, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the provisions of or governing the class A ordinary shares of the Company (the “Shares”), to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the Shares represented by such Holder’s ADS.  A voting instruction form is enclosed for that purpose.

 

With respect to any properly completed voting instructions received by the Depositary on or prior to the Voting Deadline set forth above, the Depositary shall endeavor, insofar as practicable and permitted under applicable law, the provisions of this Deposit Agreement, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the provisions of or governing the Deposited Securities, to vote or cause the Custodian to vote the Shares (in person or by proxy) represented by ADSs in accordance with such voting instructions.

 

In the event that (i) the Depositary timely receives voting instructions from a Holder which fail to specify the manner in which the Depositary is to vote the Shares represented by such Holder’s ADSs or (ii) no timely instructions are received by the Depositary from a Holder with respect to any of the Shares represented by the ADSs held by such Holder on the ADS Record Date, pursuant to the Deposit Agreement the Holder of such unvoted ADSs will be deemed to have instructed the Depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company with respect to such Shares and the Depositary shall provide a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company to vote such Shares, provided, however, that no such instruction shall be deemed to have been given and no such discretionary proxy shall be given with respect to any matter as to which the Company informs the Depositary (and the Company agrees to provide such information as promptly as practicable in writing, if applicable) that (x) the Company does not wish to give such proxy, (y) the Company is aware or should reasonably be aware that substantial opposition exists from Holders against the outcome for which the person designated by the Company would otherwise vote or (z) the outcome for which the person designated by the Company would otherwise vote would materially and adversely affect the rights of holders of Shares, provided, further, that the Company will have no liability to any Holder or Beneficial Owner resulting from such notification.  Holders are advised that the Company had not informed the Depositary of any of (x), (y) or (z) above.

 

In the event that voting on any resolution or matter is conducted on a show of hands basis in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Depositary will refrain from voting and the voting instructions (or the deemed voting instructions, as set out above) received by the Depositary from Holders shall lapse.  The Depositary will have no obligation to demand voting on a poll basis with respect to any resolution and shall have no liability to any Holder or Beneficial Owner for not having demanded voting on a poll basis.

 

Holders are advised that subject to applicable law, regulation and the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Depositary shall, if so requested in writing by the Company, represent all Shares (whether or not voting instructions have been received in respect of such Shares from Holders as of the ADS Record Date) represented by ADSs for the purpose of establishing quorum at a meeting of shareholders.

 

Notwithstanding the above, save for applicable provisions of the law of the Cayman Islands, the Depositary shall not be liable for any failure to carry out any instructions to vote any of the Shares or the manner in which such vote is cast or the effect of such vote.
