LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS AND CONTINUOUS APPOINTMENT INDEPENDENT NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS WHO HAVE SERVED MORE THAN NINE YEARS

Ms. Chia-Yue Chang, Dr. Zhiwu Chen and Ms. May Yihong Wu will retire as Directors by rotation. All of the aforementioned retiring Directors, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the AGM.

Pursuant to Code Provision B.2.2 of the Corporate Governance Code, every director, including those appointed for a specific term, should be subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years.

Pursuant to Code Provision B.2.3 of the Corporate Governance Code, if an independent non-executive director serves an issuer for more than nine years, any further appointment of such an independent non-executive director should be subject to a separate resolution to be approved by the shareholders. Since Dr. Zhiwu Chen and Ms. May Yihong Wu was appointed as independent Directors on January 24, 2014 and November 9, 2010, respectively, they have both served as an independent Director for more than nine years as of date of the AGM, a separate resolution will be proposed at the AGM to further appoint Dr. Zhiwu Chen and Ms. May Yihong Wu as an independent Director, respectively.

The Company has in place a nomination policy for nomination of directors (the “Director Nomination Policy”) pursuant to the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee Charter which includes the nomination procedures and the process and criteria adopted by the Committee to select and recommend candidates for directorship. Such policy ensures that the Board has a balance of skills, experience and diversity of perspectives appropriate to the requirements of the Company’s business. In assessing the re-election of Ms. Chia-Yue Chang as a Director, and each of Dr. Zhiwu Chen and Ms. May Yihong Wu as an independent Director, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board considered their respective contribution and service to the Company, and reviewed their respective expertise and professional qualifications to determine whether each of Ms. Chia-Yue Chang, Dr. Zhiwu Chen and Ms. May Yihong Wu satisfies the criteria under the Director Nomination Policy. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board also took into account the diversity aspects (including without limitation, gender, age, nationality, culture, educational background and professional experience) and were of the view that the election of Ms. Chia-Yue Chang, Dr. Zhiwu Chen and Ms. May Yihong Wu as Directors will further complement the Company’s corporate strategy, and promote the Board diversity. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee was satisfied that each of Ms. Chia-Yue Chang, Dr. Zhiwu Chen, and Ms. May Yihong Wu has the required character, integrity and experience to continuously fulfill his/her role as Directors effectively.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board has received from Dr. Zhiwu Chen and Ms. May Yihong Wu their respective annual confirmation of independence pursuant to Rule 3.13 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules. Each of them had no financial or family relationships with any Directors, senior management or substantial shareholders or single largest shareholders of the Company, each of them met the independence guidelines set out in Rule 3.13 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, and as of the Latest Practicable Date, the Company did not receive any notification from them that there has been a subsequent change of circumstances which affected their independence.

While serving on the Board for over nine years could be relevant to the assessment of independence of a Director, the Board was of the view that the independence of a Director cannot be solely determined by his/her period of service in the Company. In assessing the independence of Dr. Zhiwu Chen and Ms. May Yihong Wu, the Board and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considered their respective character and judgment with reference to their respective contribution to the Board.

Throughout Dr. Zhiwu Chen and Ms. May Yihong Wu’s respective directorship with the Company, each of them participated in Board meetings to give impartial advice and exercise independent judgment, served on various committees of the Board, and never engaged in any executive management. Taking into consideration of their respective independent scope of work in the past years, the Board considered that the long service of Dr. Zhiwu Chen and Ms. May Yihong Wu would not affect the exercise of their respective independent judgment and was satisfied that each of Dr. Zhiwu Chen and Ms. May Yihong Wu has the required character, integrity and experience to continue fulfilling the role of an independent Director. In addition, neither Dr. Zhiwu Chen or Ms. May Yihong Wu held seven or more listed company directorship as of the Latest Practicable Date and thus can give sufficient time and attention to the Company’s affairs. The Board was therefore of the view that each of Dr. Zhiwu Chen and Ms. May Yihong Wu meets the independence criteria set out in Rule 3.13 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules and that he/she is able to continue to fulfil his/her role as an independent Director. The Board believed that the continued tenure of Dr. Zhiwu Chen and Ms. May Yihong Wu will bring considerable stability to the Board and the Board will benefited greatly from the presence of Dr. Zhiwu Chen and Ms. May Yihong Wu, who both have over time gained valuable insight into the Group.

In view of the above, the Board, on the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, recommended Ms. Chia-Yue Chang, Dr. Zhiwu Chen and Ms. May Yihong Wu for re-election at the AGM. Biographical details of the aforementioned retiring Directors which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the Hong Kong Listing Rules, are set out in Appendix I to this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED GRANT OF REPURCHASE MANDATE AND ISSUANCE MANDATE

Repurchase Mandate

In order to give the Company the flexibility to repurchase Shares and/or ADSs on-market if and when appropriate and in accordance with Rule 10.06(1)(ii) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the grant of the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors to repurchase Shares and/or ADSs of not exceeding 10% of the number of issued Shares as of the date of passing of such ordinary resolution. As of the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had a total of 31,945,575 issued Shares. Subject to the passing of relevant ordinary resolution and assuming that the number of issued Shares remains unchanged following the Latest Practicable Date and prior to the date of the AGM, the maximum number of Shares which may be repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate will be 3,194,557 Shares. As of the Latest Practicable Date, the Board had no present intention to cause the Company to repurchase any Shares and/or ADSs under the Repurchase Mandate.

The Repurchase Mandate shall be in force from the date of the passing of the relevant resolution at the AGM until: (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of Shareholders unless, by an ordinary resolution passed at that meeting, the Repurchase Mandate is renewed, either unconditionally or subject to conditions; or (b) revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting, whichever occurs first.

An explanatory statement required by the Hong Kong Listing Rules to be sent to all Shareholders in connection with the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

Issuance Mandate

In order to give the Company the flexibility to issue Shares and/or ADSs if and when appropriate and in accordance with Rule 13.36 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the grant of the Issuance Mandate to the Directors to issue, allot or deal with unissued Shares and/or ADSs not exceeding 20% of the total number of issued Shares as of the date of passing of such ordinary resolution. As of the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had a total of 31,945,575 issued Shares. Subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolution and assuming that the number of issued Shares remains unchanged following the Latest Practicable Date and prior to the date of the AGM, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued pursuant to the Issuance Mandate will be 6,389,115 Shares.

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

After the passing of the relevant resolution in the AGM and until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of Shareholders to be held tentatively in May or June 2024, (i) the Company may issue no more than 1,500,000 Shares, accounting for approximately 4.70% of the Company’s voting rights as of the Latest Practicable Date, under the Issuance Mandate to the affected clients of the Camsing Incidents (as defined in the Prospectus) who accepted the settlement offer as of the Latest Practicable Date under the relevant RSU plan; and (ii) the Company may also issue no more than 1,500,000 Shares, accounting for approximately 4.70% of the Company’s voting rights as of the Latest Practicable Date, under the Issuance Mandate to the affected clients of the Camsing Incidents who might accept the settlement offer between passing the relevant resolution in the AGM and until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of Shareholders to be held tentatively in May or June 2024. As of the Latest Practicable Date, the Company granted a total of 3,715,114 RSUs to 595 out of the total of 818 affected clients of the Camsing Incident. Each RSU allows the grantees to receive one Share. The Company offered two RSU vesting plans (Plan A and Plan B) for the affected clients to choose from. Under Plan A, the Company would issue RSUs to affected clients based on a vesting schedule, whereby 10% of the RSUs would be vested immediately upon the acceptance of the settlement offer and the remaining 90% of the RSUs would be vested evenly in the following nine years. Under Plan B, on the third anniversary of the acceptance of the Offer (as defined in the Prospectus), the affected clients would either decide to (a) receive an entitlement to future investment returns generated by the Camsing Credit Funds (as defined in the Prospectus), while remaining unable to initiate claims against the Group; or (b) receive 40% of the RSUs, and on each subsequent anniversary, the Company would vest the remaining 60% of the RSUs evenly for the following six years. All RSUs issued within the period from contract inception to the third anniversary of contact shall not be vested until the investor chooses to retain the RSUs. For further details, please refer to Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements of the 2022 annual report of the Company.

Save as disclosed above, as of the Latest Practicable Date, the Board had no present intention to cause the Company to issue, allot or deal with unissued Shares and/or ADSs under the Issuance Mandate.

In addition, a separate ordinary resolution will also be proposed to approve the extension of the Issuance Mandate by adding the number of repurchased Shares under the Repurchase Mandate to the total number of Shares and/or ADSs which may be allotted and issued by the Directors pursuant to the Issuance Mandate, provided that such additional amount shall not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of the Shares in issue as of the date of passing of such ordinary resolution.

The Issuance Mandate shall be in force from the date of the passing of the relevant resolution at the AGM until: (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of Shareholders unless, by an ordinary resolution passed at that meeting, the Issuance Mandate is renewed, either unconditionally or subject to conditions; or (b) revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting, whichever occurs first.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Record date, share ownership and quorum

The Board has fixed the close of business on Monday, April 17, 2023, Hong Kong time, as the record date (the “Shares Record Date”) of the ordinary shares. Holders of the ordinary shares as of the Shares Record Date are entitled to attend and vote at the AGM and any adjourned and postponed meeting thereof. Holders of ADSs as of the close of business on Monday, April 17, 2023, New York time (the “ADS Record Date”) who wish to exercise their voting rights for the underlying ordinary shares must give voting instructions to Citibank, N.A., the depositary of the ADSs.

One or more Shareholders at least 10% of all issued voting share capital of the Company in issue present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote shall be a quorum for all purposes.

Voting and solicitation

Each ordinary share issued as of the close of business on the Shares Record Date is entitled to one vote at the AGM. A resolution put to the vote at the AGM will be decided by way of poll in accordance with Rule 13.39(4) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules. A Shareholder who has a material interest in a transaction or arrangement to be approved by a particular resolution relating to such transaction or arrangement will be required to abstain from voting on such resolution.

Voting by holders of Shares

When proxy forms are properly dated, executed and returned by holders of ordinary shares to the mailing address as set out in the proxy form by no later than 9:00 a.m. on June 10, 2023, Hong Kong time (the deadline for the return of such proxy forms), the Shares represented by all properly executed proxies returned to the Company will be voted at the AGM as indicated or, if no instruction is given, the holder of the proxy will vote the ordinary shares in his/her/its discretion, unless a reference to the holder of the proxy having such discretion has been deleted and initialed on the proxy form. Where the chairman of the AGM acts as proxy and is entitled to exercise his/her discretion, he/she is likely to vote the Shares for the resolutions. As to any other business that may properly come before the AGM, all properly executed proxies will be voted by the persons named therein in accordance with their discretion. Where any holder of ordinary shares abstains from voting on any particular resolution, the votes attaching to such Shares will not be included or counted in the determination of the number of Shares present and voting for the purposes of determining whether such resolution has been passed (but they will be counted for the purposes of determining the quorum, as described above). The return of a form of proxy will not preclude the Shareholder from attending and voting in person at the AGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Voting by holders of ADSs

As the holder of record for all the ordinary shares represented by the ADSs, only Citibank, N.A. (or its custodian), in its capacity as depositary of the ADSs, may attend and vote (or cause its custodian to attend and vote) those ordinary shares at the AGM.

The Company has requested Citibank, N.A., as depositary of the ADSs, to distribute to ADS holders of record as of the ADS Record Date, the notice of the AGM, the proxy statement and an ADS voting instruction card. If you are a beneficial owner of ADSs registered in the name of a brokerage firm, bank or other financial institution, that organization will provide you with the voting instructions rather than Citibank, N.A.

Upon timely receiving a duly completed ADS voting instructions cards from an ADS holder in the manner specified, Citibank, N.A. will endeavor, to the extent practicable and legally permissible, to vote or cause to be voted the amount of ordinary shares represented by such ADSs in accordance with the instructions set forth in the ADS voting instructions as follows: given that voting takes place at the AGM by poll, Citibank, N.A. will vote the ordinary shares in accordance with the voting instructions received from ADS holders of record. If Citibank, N.A. does not receive the ADS voting instructions from an ADS holder on or before the date set forth in the ADS voting instruction card, such ADS holders, under the terms of the deposit agreement, dated as of November 9, 2010, as amended, by and among the Company, Citibank, N.A., as the depositary, and all holders and beneficial owners from time to time of the ADSs issued thereunder, will be deemed to have instructed Citibank, N.A. to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company to vote the amount of ordinary shares represented by such ADSs unless the Company informs Citibank, N.A. that (a) it does not wish such proxy to be given, (b) substantial opposition exists, or (c) the rights of the holders of ordinary shares represented by ADSs may be materially adversely affected. Citibank, N.A. shall not under any circumstances exercise any discretion as to voting or vote, attempt to exercise the right to vote, or in any way make use of, for purposes of establishing a quorum or otherwise, the ordinary shares represented by ADSs except pursuant to and in accordance with the voting instructions timely received from ADS holders or as specifically contemplated in the deposit agreement for the ADSs.

There is no guarantee that a holder of ADSs will receive the materials described above with sufficient time to enable such holder to return the ADS voting instruction card to Citibank, N.A. in a timely manner, in which case the ordinary shares underlying your ADSs may not be voted in accordance with your wishes.

Citibank, N.A. must receive your voting instructions in your ADS voting instruction card by no later than 10:00 a.m. on June 2, 2023, New York time, to enable the votes attaching to the Shares represented by your ADSs to be cast at the AGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, to provide information for all Shareholders to make a reasonably informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution with respect to the Repurchase Mandate to be proposed at the AGM.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had a total of 31,945,575 issued Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution with respect to the Repurchase Mandate to be proposed at the AGM, and on the basis that the Company’s total issued share capital remains unchanged from Latest Practicable Date to the date of the AGM, the Directors would be authorized under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase up to 3,194,557 Shares during the Repurchase Mandate period, representing 10% of the Company’s total issued Shares as of the Latest Practicable Date.

REASONS FOR REPURCHASING SHARES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and Shareholders to have a general authority from Shareholders to enable the Company to purchase Shares and/or ADSs in the market. The repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per share and/or ADS and/or its earnings per Share and/or ADS and will be made only when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and Shareholders.

The Directors have no present intention to cause the Company to repurchase any Shares and/or ADSs and they would exercise the power to repurchase only in circumstances where they consider that the repurchase would be in the best interests of the Company and Shareholders.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases of Shares and/or ADSs, if any, will be funded from the Company’s internal resources, which includes funds legally available for such purposes in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Hong Kong Listing Rules, and applicable laws and regulations in the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong and elsewhere (as the case may be).

IMPACT OF REPURCHASES

The Directors consider that the exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full will not have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the Company’s annual report for the year ended December 31, 2022). The Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s working capital requirements or gearing levels that, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

– 17 –

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

TAKEOVERS CODE AND THE PUBLIC FLOAT REQUIREMENT

If, on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares and/or ADSs pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the Company’s voting right increases, this increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code) could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As of the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, the single largest Shareholder, Ms. Jingbo Wang, through certain entities controlled by her, beneficially owned 6,847,644 ordinary shares, representing approximately 21.44% of the issued Shares. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the Repurchase Mandate, the interests of the largest Shareholder will be increased to approximately 23.82% of the issued Shares of the Company (assuming that the number of issued Shares remains unchanged following the Latest Practicable Date and prior to the date of the AGM).

As such, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, the exercise of the Repurchase Mandate is not expected to give rise to an obligation of the largest Shareholder to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no present intention to repurchase the Shares to the extent that will trigger the obligations under the Takeovers Code to make a mandatory offer. The Directors are not aware of any other consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any purchase by the Company of its Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

The Directors will not exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as a result of such repurchase, the number of Shares in public hands falls below 25% of the total number of issued Shares. To the best knowledge of the Company, the public float of the Company is over 40% as of the Latest Practicable Date. For illustrative purposes only, assuming the Shares in issue remain unchanged from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of the AGM, the public float of the Company will reduce to over 30% in the event of the full exercise of the Repurchase Mandate, which is still above the 25% requirement under Rule 8.08(1)(a) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the proposed Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Hong Kong Listing Rules, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Articles of Association.

8.	REPURCHASES OF SHARES

As of the Latest Practicable Date, the Company did not repurchase any Shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. During the previous six months immediately prior to the Latest Practicable Date, no repurchases of Shares have been made by the Company otherwise.

GENERAL

None of the Directors, nor, to the best of the Directors’ knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined in the Hong Kong Listing Rules), has any present intention, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved, to sell any Shares to the Company.

No core connected person (as defined in the Hong Kong Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or that he/she/it has undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them to the Company, if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised.

INTRODUCTION

This form of proxy (the “Form of Proxy”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the board of directors of Noah Holdings Private Wealth and Asset Management Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), of proxies from the holders of the issued ordinary shares of the Company with a par value of US$0.0005 per share (the “ordinary shares”) to be exercised at the annual general meeting of the Company (the “AGM”) to be held at 34/F, Tower Two, Times Square, 1 Matheson Street, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, on Monday, June 12, 2023 at 9:00 a.m., Hong Kong time (or 9:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 11, 2023, New York time), and at any adjourned meeting thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying notice of the AGM.

Only the holders of the ordinary shares at the close of business on Monday, April 17, 2023, Hong Kong time, as the record date are entitled to attend and vote at the AGM or any adjourned meeting thereof. Each ordinary share is entitled to one vote on all matters at the AGM. The quorum of the AGM is one or more shareholders, present in person or by proxy or, if a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorized representative, which carry in aggregate (or representing by proxy) not less than one-tenth of all votes attaching to all ordinary shares in issue and entitled to vote at the AGM.

The ordinary shares represented by all properly executed proxies returned to the Company will be voted at the AGM as indicated or, if no instruction is given, the holder of the proxy will vote the ordinary shares in his/her/its discretion, unless a reference to the holder of the proxy having such discretion has been deleted and initialed on this Form of Proxy. Where the chairman of the AGM acts as proxy and is entitled to exercise his/her discretion, he/she is likely to vote the ordinary shares for the resolutions. As to any other business that may properly come before the AGM, all properly executed proxies will be voted by the persons named therein in accordance with their discretion. The Company does not presently know of any other business which may come before the AGM. However, if any other matter properly comes before the AGM, or any adjourned meeting thereof, which may properly be acted upon, unless otherwise indicated, the proxies solicited hereby will be voted on such matter in accordance with the discretion of the proxy holders named therein. Any proxy given by a holder of ordinary shares by means of a proxy form, pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by submitting a written notice of revocation or a fresh proxy form bearing a later date, which must be received by the deadline for returning the proxy forms set forth above, or by attending the AGM. Holders of American Depositary Shares (the “ADSs”) should not use this form to vote, but must follow the instructions provided by Citibank, N.A., as depositary for the ADSs (the “Depositary”), to ADS holders on how to instruct the Depositary to vote the ordinary shares represented by their ADSs. Any questions on how an ADS holder may instruct the Depositary to vote ordinary shares represented by ADSs should be directed to the Depositary.

You may instruct your proxy to vote some or all of the ordinary shares in respect of which the proxy is appointed either for or against any resolution and/or abstain from voting as such proxy need not cast the votes in respect of your ordinary shares in the same way on any resolution. In this case, please specify in the voting boxes the number of ordinary shares in respect of which your proxy is to vote for or against or to abstain in respect of each resolution.

To be valid, this Form of Proxy must be completed, signed and returned to Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong as soon as possible and no later than 9:00 a.m. on June 10, 2023, Hong Kong time, to ensure your representation at the AGM.

The undersigned holder, as of the ADS Record Date, of the American Depositary Shares issued under the Deposit Agreement and identified above (such American Depositary Shares, the “ADSs”), hereby authorizes and directs the Depositary to cause to be voted at the Meeting (and any adjournment or postponement thereof) the Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs in the manner indicated on the reverse side hereof. The Depositary has been advised by the Company that in accordance with Rule 13.39(4) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited that voting at any meeting of shareholders is by a poll. Voting instructions may be given only in respect of a number of ADSs representing an integral number of Deposited Securities. Upon the timely receipt from a Holder of ADSs as of the ADS Record Date of voting instructions in the manner specified by the Depositary, the Depositary shall endeavor, insofar as practicable and permitted under applicable law, the provisions of the Deposit Agreement, Articles of Association of the Company and the provisions of the Deposited Securities, to vote, or cause the Custodian to vote, the Deposited Securities (in person or by proxy) represented by such Holder’s ADSs as follows: (i) in the event voting takes place at a shareholders’ meeting by show of hands, the Depositary will instruct the Custodian to vote all Deposited Securities in accordance with the voting instructions received from a majority of Holders of ADSs who provided voting instructions and (ii) in the event voting takes place at a shareholders’ meeting by poll, the Depositary will instruct the Custodian to vote the Deposited Securities in accordance with the voting instructions received from the Holders of ADSs.

Neither the Depositary nor the Custodian shall under any circumstances exercise any discretion as to voting and neither the Depositary nor the Custodian shall vote, attempt to exercise the right to vote, or in any way make use of, for purposes of establishing a quorum or otherwise, the Deposited Securities represented by ADSs, except pursuant to and in accordance with the voting instructions timely received from Holders or as otherwise contemplated in the Deposit Agreement. If the Depositary timely receives voting instructions from a Holder which fail to specify the manner in which the Depositary is to vote the Deposited Securities represented by such Holder’s ADSs, the Depositary will deem such Holder to have instructed the Depositary to vote in favor of the items set forth in such voting instructions. Deposited Securities represented by ADSs for which no timely voting instructions are received by the Depositary from the Holder shall not be voted (except (i) in the case voting at the shareholders meeting is by show of hands, in which case the Depositary will instruct the Custodian to vote all Deposited Securities in accordance with the voting instructions received from a majority of Holders of ADSs who provided voting instructions and (ii) as contemplated in Section 4.10 of the Deposit Agreement). Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, the Depositary shall, if so requested in writing by the Company, represent all Deposited Securities (whether or not voting instructions have been received in respect of such Deposited Securities from Holders as of the ADS Record Date) for the sole purpose of establishing quorum at a meeting of shareholders.
