Introduction

 

This form of proxy (the “Form of Proxy”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the board of directors of VNET Group, Inc., a Cayman Islands company (the “Company”), of proxies from the holders of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company, par value US$0.00001 per share (the “Shares”), to be exercised at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company (the “EGM”) to be held at Guanjie Building Southeast 1st Floor, 10# Jiuxianqiao East Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, The People’s Republic of China on January 9, 2024 at 10 a.m. (Beijing time), and at any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting.

 

Only the holders of record of the Shares at the close of business on December 8, 2023, New York time (the “Share Record Date”) are entitled to receive notice of, attend and vote at the EGM, in respect of the matters requiring shareholders’ vote at the EGM. The quorum of the EGM is at least one shareholder entitled to vote and present in person or by proxy, holding in aggregate not less than one-third of the voting power of the Shares in issue carrying a right to vote at the EGM. This Form of Proxy and the accompanying Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting are first being mailed to the shareholders of the Company on or about December 13, 2023.

 

The Shares represented by all properly executed proxies returned to the Company will be voted at the EGM as indicated. If no instruction is given in a properly executed Form of Proxy returned to the Company, the proxy holder named therein will be entitled to vote or abstain at his/her discretion. As to any other business that may properly come before the EGM, all properly executed proxies will be voted by the proxy holders named therein in accordance with their discretion. The Company does not presently know of any other business which may come before the EGM. However, if any other matter properly comes before the EGM, or any adjourned or postponed 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.

 

Whether or not you propose to attend the EGM in person, you are strongly advised to complete and sign this Form of Proxy in accordance with the instructions printed on it. Returning this Form of Proxy will not preclude you from attending the EGM and voting in person if you so wish. Any person giving a proxy has the right to revoke it at any time before it is exercised (i) by filing with the Company a duly signed revocation at its office at Guanjie Building Southeast 1st Floor, 10# Jiuxianqiao East Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, The People’s Republic of China, which should be received by 10 a.m. on January 7, 2024 (Beijing time); or (ii) by attending the EGM and voting in person at the EGM. Attendance at the EGM in and of itself does not revoke a prior proxy.

 

To be valid, this Form of Proxy must be completed, signed and delivered to the Company’s office at Guanjie Building Southeast 1st Floor, 10# Jiuxianqiao East Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, The People’s Republic of China to the attention of VNET Group, Inc. as soon as possible so that it is received by the Company no later than 48 hours before the time of the EGM, or 10 a.m. on January 7, 2024 (Beijing time).
