The Board is hereby expressly authorized to exercise its authority with respect to fixing and designating various series of the Preference Shares and determining the relative rights, powers and preferences, if any, thereof to the full extent permitted by applicable law, including the authority to determine the following:

 

  (a)

the number of shares constituting that series, which may be increased or decreased (except where otherwise provided in a Preference Shares Designation), and the distinctive designation of that series;

 

  (b)

the dividend rate on the shares of that series, whether dividends shall be cumulative and, if so cumulative, from which date or dates, and the relative rights of priority, if any, of the payment of dividends on shares of that series, and the method of payment of dividends including in cash or in kind;

  (d)

whether the series shall have conversion or exchange privileges (including, without limitation, conversion into Common Shares) and, if so, the terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange, including provision for adjustment of the conversion or exchange rate in such events as the Board shall determine;

 

7


  (e)

whether or not the shares of that series shall be redeemable or repurchaseable and, if so, the terms and conditions of such redemption or repurchase, including the manner of selecting shares for redemption or repurchase if less than all shares are to be redeemed or repurchased, the date or dates upon or after which they shall be redeemable or repurchaseable, and the amount per share payable in case of redemption or repurchase, which amount may vary under different conditions and at different redemption or repurchase dates;

 

  (f)

whether that series shall have a sinking fund for the redemption or repurchase of shares of that series and, if so, the terms and amount of such sinking fund;

 

  (g)

the right of the shares of that series to the benefit of conditions and restrictions upon the creation of indebtedness of the Company or any subsidiary, upon the issue of any additional shares (including additional shares of such series or any other series) and upon the payment of dividends or the making of other distributions on, and the purchase, redemption or other acquisition by the Company or any subsidiary of any issued shares of the Company;

  (j)

any other relative participating, optional or other special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions of that series.

 

4.10

Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in the Preference Shares Designation for a series of Preference Shares, all shares of any one series of the Preference Shares will be alike in every particular. Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in the Preference Shares Designation for a series of Preference Shares, the holders of shares of such series will have no voting rights except as may be required by applicable law, in which case, shall be entitled to one-hundredth (1/100) of a vote on such matter for each Preference Share. Further, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Preference Shares Designation for a series of Preference Shares, no consent or vote of the holders of Preference Shares or any series thereof will be required for any amendment to these Bye-laws that would increase the number of authorized Preference Shares or the number of authorized shares of any series thereof or decrease the number of authorized Preference Shares or the number of authorized shares of any series thereof.

 

4.11

Any Preference Shares of any series which have been redeemed (whether through the operation of a sinking fund or otherwise) or which, if convertible or exchangeable, have been converted into or exchanged for shares of any other class or classes shall have the status of authorised and unissued Preference Shares of the same series and

 

8


 

may be reissued as a part of the series of which they were originally a part or may be reclassified and reissued as part of a new series of Preference Shares to be created by resolution or resolutions of the Board or as part of any other series of Preference Shares, all subject to the conditions and the restrictions on issuance set forth in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board providing for the issue of any series of Preference Shares.

 

4.12

At the discretion of the Board, whether or not in connection with the issuance and sale of any shares or other securities of the Company, the Company may issue securities, contracts, warrants or other instruments evidencing any shares, option rights, securities having conversion or option rights, or obligations on such terms, conditions and other provisions as are fixed by the Board including, without limiting the generality of this authority, conditions that preclude or limit any person or persons owning or offering to acquire a specified number or percentage of the issued Common Shares, other shares, option rights, securities having conversion or option rights, or obligations of the Company or transferee of the person or persons from exercising, converting, transferring or receiving the shares, option rights, securities having conversion or option rights, or obligations.

 

4.13

All the rights attaching to a Treasury Share shall be suspended and shall not be exercised by the Company while it holds such Treasury Share and, except where required by the Act, all Treasury Shares shall be excluded from the calculation of any percentage or fraction of the share capital, or shares, of the Company.

 

5.

Conversion Rights

 

5.1

Each Class B Common Share shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, into one fully paid and non-assessable Class A Common Share, and a number of Class A Common Shares equal to the number of Class B Common Shares issued and outstanding from time to time shall be set aside and reserved for issuance upon conversion of Class B Common Shares. Any such conversion may be effected by any holder of Class B Common Shares by written notice delivered to the transfer agent for the Class B Common Shares (if any) and to the registered office of the Company (for the attention of the Secretary) accompanied by the relevant share certificates (if any), which notice should be signed by or on behalf of the holder and shall state the conversion date and the number (which can be all or a specified number) of Class B Common Shares to be converted to Class A Common Shares, including the name or names in which such holder desires the Class A Common Shares to be registered and, if less than all of such holder’s Class B Common Shares are to be converted, the name or names in which such holder desires the relevant shares to be issued.

 

5.2

Notwithstanding Bye-law 5.1, the Board is authorised to determine such other process for conversion of Class B Common Shares in its sole discretion, including effecting such conversion by way of variation of rights, share repurchase and issue, bonus issue, share consolidation, share subdivision and/or any other manner permitted by law (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that any conversion of Class B Common Shares shall only be initiated and effected following the valid written election by a holder of Class B Common Shares to convert their Class B Common Shares in accordance with the provisions of Bye-law 5.1).

 

9


5.3

Where, upon the conversion of any Class B Common Shares, fractions of shares or some other difficulty would arise, the Board may deal with or resolve the same in such manner as it thinks fit.

 

5.4

Class A Common Shares and Class C Common Shares shall not be convertible into any other class of Common Shares.

 

5.5

If so required by the Company, any certificate representing shares surrendered for conversion in accordance with Bye-law 5 shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in accordance with Bye-law 10. Promptly thereafter, the Company shall issue and deliver to such holder or such holder’s nominee or nominees, an updated register of members evidencing the issuance of such number of Class A Common Shares to which such holder shall be entitled as herein provided. If less than all of a holder’s Class B Common Shares are to be converted, the Company shall also produce and deliver to such holder or such holder’s nominee an updated register of members evidencing the issuance of such number of Class B Common Shares not converted. Any conversion of Class B Common Shares shall be effective upon the updating of the register of members in accordance with these Bye-laws, and the person or persons entitled to receive the Class A Common Shares issuable on such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Class A Common Shares on that date.

 

5.6

The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes that may be payable in respect of the conversion of Class B Common Shares pursuant to these Bye-laws. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any conversion of Class B Common Shares in a name other than that in which the Class B Common Shares so converted were registered and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting the same has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

 

6.

Share Certificates

 

6.1

Subject to the provisions of this Bye-law 6, every Member shall be entitled to a certificate under the common seal of the Company (or a facsimile thereof) or bearing the signature (or a facsimile thereof) of a Director or the Secretary or a person expressly authorised to sign specifying the number and, where appropriate, the class of shares held by such Member. The Board may by resolution determine, either generally or in a particular case, that any or all signatures on certificates may be printed thereon or affixed by mechanical means.

 

10


6.2

The Company shall be under no obligation to complete and deliver a share certificate unless specifically called upon to do so by the person to whom the shares have been allotted.

 

6.3

If any share certificate shall be proved to the satisfaction of the Board to have been worn out, lost, mislaid, or destroyed the Board may cause a new certificate to be issued and request an indemnity for the lost certificate if it sees fit.

 

6.4

Notwithstanding any provisions of these Bye-laws:

 

  (a)

the Board shall, subject always to the Act and any other applicable laws and regulations and the facilities and requirements of any relevant system concerned, have power to implement any arrangements it may, in its absolute discretion, think fit in relation to the evidencing of title to and transfer of uncertificated shares and to the extent such arrangements are so implemented, no provision of these Bye-laws shall apply or have effect to the extent that it is in any respect inconsistent with the holding or transfer of shares in uncertificated form; and

 

  (b)

unless otherwise determined by the Board and as permitted by the Act and any other applicable laws and regulations, no person shall be entitled to receive a certificate in respect of any share for so long as the title to that share is evidenced otherwise than by a certificate and for so long as transfers of that share may be made otherwise than by a written instrument.

 

7.

Fractional Shares

The Company may issue its shares in fractional denominations and deal with such fractions to the same extent as its whole shares and shares in fractional denominations shall have in proportion to the respective fractions represented thereby all of the rights of whole shares including (but without limiting the generality of the foregoing) the right to vote, to receive dividends and distributions and to participate in a winding-up.

REGISTRATION OF SHARES

 

8.

Register of Members

 

8.1

The Board shall cause to be kept in one or more books a Register of Members and shall enter therein the particulars required by the Act.

 

8.2

The Register of Members shall be open to inspection without charge at the registered office of the Company on every business day, subject to such reasonable restrictions as the Board may impose, so that not less than two hours in each business day be allowed for inspection. The Register of Members may, after notice has been given in accordance with the Act, be closed for any time or times not exceeding in the whole thirty days in each year.

 

11


9.

Registered Holder Absolute Owner

The Company shall be entitled to treat the registered holder of any share as the absolute owner thereof and accordingly shall not be bound to recognise any equitable claim or other claim to, or interest in, such share on the part of any other person.

 

10.

Transfer of Registered Shares

 

10.1

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Bye-laws, shares that are listed or admitted to trading on an appointed stock exchange may be transferred in accordance with the rules and regulations of such exchange.

 

10.2

An instrument of transfer shall be in writing in the form of the following, or as near thereto as circumstances admit, or in such other form as the Board may accept:

The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of such share until the same has been registered as having been transferred to the transferee in the Register of Members.

 

10.4

The Board may refuse to recognise any instrument of transfer unless it is accompanied by the certificate in respect of the shares to which it relates and by such other evidence as the Board may reasonably require showing the right of the transferor to make the transfer.

 

12


10.5

The joint holders of any share may transfer such share to one or more of such joint holders, and the surviving holder or holders of any share previously held by them jointly with a deceased Member may transfer any such share to the executors or administrators of such deceased Member.

 

10.6

The Board shall refuse to register a transfer unless all applicable consents, authorisations and permissions of any governmental body or agency in Bermuda have been obtained.

Transmission of Registered Shares

 

11.1

In the case of the death of a Member, the survivor or survivors where the deceased Member was a joint holder, and the legal personal representatives of the deceased Member where the deceased Member was a sole holder, shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to the deceased Member’s interest in the shares. Nothing herein contained shall release the estate of a deceased joint holder from any liability in respect of any share which had been jointly held by such deceased Member with other persons. Subject to the Act, for the purpose of this Bye-law, legal personal representative means the executor or administrator of a deceased Member or such other person as the Board may, in its absolute discretion, decide as being properly authorised to deal with the shares of a deceased Member.

 

11.2

Any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of any Member may be registered as a Member upon such evidence as the Board may deem sufficient or may elect to nominate some person to be registered as a transferee of such share, and in such case the person becoming entitled shall execute in favour of such nominee an instrument of transfer in writing in the form, or as near thereto as circumstances admit, of the following:

Transfer by a Person Becoming Entitled on Death/Bankruptcy of a

Member

Liberty Latin America Ltd. (the “Company”)

I/We, having become entitled in consequence of the [death/bankruptcy] of [name and address of deceased/bankrupt Member] to [number] share(s) standing in the Register of Members of the Company in the name of the said [name of deceased/bankrupt Member] instead of being registered myself/ourselves, elect to have [name of transferee] (the

 

13


“Transferee”) registered as a transferee of such share(s) and I/we do hereby accordingly transfer the said share(s) to the Transferee to hold the same unto the Transferee, his or her executors, administrators and assigns, subject to the conditions on which the same were held at the time of the execution hereof; and the Transferee does hereby agree to take the said share(s) subject to the same conditions.

11.3

On the presentation of the foregoing materials to the Board, accompanied by such evidence as the Board may require to prove the title of the transferor, the transferee shall be registered as a Member. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board shall, in any case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as it would have had in the case of a transfer of the share by that Member before such Member’s death or bankruptcy, as the case may be.

 

11.4

Where two or more persons are registered as joint holders of a share or shares, then in the event of the death of any joint holder or holders the remaining joint holder or holders shall be absolutely entitled to such share or shares and the Company shall recognise no claim in respect of the estate of any joint holder except in the case of the last survivor of such joint holders.

13.

Variation of Rights Attaching to Shares

 

13.1

Subject to Bye-law 13.3, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class) may, whether or not the Company is being wound-up, be varied with the sanction of a resolution passed by a majority of the votes cast at a separate general meeting of the holders of the shares of the class at which meeting the necessary quorum shall be two persons at least holding or representing by proxy one-third (33.33%) of the issued shares of the class.

 

13.2

Subject to Bye-law 13.3, the rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class or series issued with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class or series, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu therewith.

 

13.3

Where the rights attached to more than one class of shares are, in the good faith opinion of not less than three-fourths (75%) of the members of the Board then in office (which determination shall be final and binding on all shareholders of the Company), varied or abrogated in the same, or substantially the same, manner such shares shall together comprise a single class for the purposes of convening a separate meeting of holders of shares of a class.

DIVIDENDS AND CAPITALISATION

 

14.

Dividends and Share Distributions

 

14.1

The Board may, subject to these Bye-laws and in accordance with the Act, declare a dividend to be paid to the Members out of the assets of the Company legally available therefor. Whenever a dividend, other than a dividend that consists of a Share Distribution, is paid to the holders of one or more classes of Common Shares, the Company shall also pay to the holders of each other classes of Common Shares a dividend per share equal to the dividend per share paid to the holders of such first one or more classes of Common Shares, such that the dividend paid on each Common Share, regardless of class, is the same. Dividends shall be payable only as and when declared by the Board of the Company out of assets of the Company legally available therefor. Whenever a dividend that consists of a Share Distribution is paid to the holders of one or more classes of Common Shares, the Company shall also pay a dividend that consists of a Share Distribution to the holders of each other class of Common Share as provided in Bye-law 14.2.

 

15


14.2

Unless otherwise resolved by resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-fourths (75%) of the members of the Board then in office, if at any time a Share Distribution is to be made with respect to the Class A Common Shares, Class B Common Shares or Class C Common Shares, such Share Distribution may be declared and paid only as follows:

 

  (a)

a Share Distribution (i) consisting of Class C Common Shares or Class C Convertible Securities may be declared and paid to holders of Class A Common Shares, Class B Common Shares and Class C Common Shares, on an equal per share basis, or (ii) consisting of (A) Class A Common Shares or Class A Convertible Securities (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, Convertible Securities convertible into Class B Common Shares) may be declared and paid to holders of Class A Common Shares, on an equal per share basis, (B) Class B Common Shares or Class B Convertible Securities may be declared and paid to holders of Class B Common Shares, on an equal per share basis, and (C) Class C Common Shares or Class C Convertible Securities may be declared and paid to holders of Class C Common Shares, on an equal per share basis; or

 

  (b)

a Share Distribution consisting of any class or series of securities of the Company or any other Person, other than Class A Common Shares, Class B Common Shares or Class C Common Shares (or Class A Convertible Securities, Class B Convertible Securities or Class C Convertible Securities), may be declared and paid on the basis of a distribution of:

 

  (i)

identical securities, on an equal per share basis, to holders of Class A Common Shares, Class B Common Shares and Class C Common Shares;

 

  (ii)

separate classes or series of securities, on an equal per share basis, to the holders of each such class of Common Shares; or

 

  (iii)

a separate class or series of securities to the holders of one or more classes of Common Shares and, on an equal per share basis, a different class or series of securities to the holders of all other classes of Common Shares;

provided that in connection with a Share Distribution pursuant to sub-clause (ii) or sub-clause (iii) of this Bye-law 14.2(b):

 

  (A)

such separate classes or series of securities (and, if the distribution consists of Convertible Securities, the Underlying Securities) do not differ in any respect other than their relative voting rights (and any related differences in designation, conversion and share distribution provisions, as applicable), with holders of Class B Common Shares receiving the class or series of securities having (or convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for securities having) the highest relative voting rights and the holders of each other class of Common Shares receiving securities of a class or series having (or convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for securities having) lesser

 

16


 

relative voting rights, in each case, without regard to whether such rights differ to a greater or lesser extent than the corresponding differences in voting rights (and any related differences in designation, conversion and share distribution, as applicable) among the Class A Common Shares, the Class B Common Shares and the Class C Common Shares; and

 

  (B)

in the event the securities to be received by the holders of Common Shares other than the Class B Common Shares consist of different classes or series of securities, with each such class or series of securities (or the Underlying Securities into which such class or series is convertible or for which such class or series is exercisable or exchangeable) differing only with respect to the relative voting rights of such class or series (and any related differences in designation, conversion and share distribution provisions, as applicable), then such classes or series of securities will be distributed to the holders of each class of Common Shares (other than the Class B Common Shares) (x) as the Board determines or (y) such that the relative voting rights (and any related differences in designation, conversion and share distribution provisions, as applicable) of the class or series of securities (or the Underlying Securities) to be received by the holders of each class of Common Shares (other than the Class B Common Shares) correspond to the extent practicable to the relative voting rights (and any related differences in designation, conversion and share distribution provisions, as applicable) of such class of Common Shares, as compared to the other classes of Common Shares (other than the Class B Common Shares).

 

15.

Power to Set Aside Profits

The Board may, before declaring a dividend, set aside out of the surplus or profits of the Company, such amount as it thinks proper as a reserve to be used to meet contingencies or for equalising dividends or for any other purpose.

 

16.

Method of Payment

 

16.1

Any dividend, interest, or other moneys payable in cash in respect of the shares may be paid by such means as the Board may determine, which may include cheque or draft sent through the post directed to the Member at such Member’s address in the Register of Members, or to such person and to such address as the holder may in writing direct.

 

16.2

In the case of joint holders of shares, any dividend, interest or other moneys payable in cash in respect of shares may be paid by cheque or draft sent through the post directed to the address of the holder first named in the Register of Members, or to such person and to such address as the joint holders may in writing direct. If two or more persons are registered as joint holders of any shares any one can give an effectual receipt for any dividend paid in respect of such shares.

 

17


16.3

The Board may deduct from the dividends or distributions payable to any Member all moneys due from such Member to the Company on account of calls or otherwise.

 

16.4

The Company shall be entitled to cease sending dividend cheques and drafts by post or otherwise to a Member if those instruments have been returned undelivered to, or left uncashed by, that Member on at least two consecutive occasions or, following one such occasion, reasonable enquiries have failed to establish the Member’s new address. The entitlement conferred on the Company by this Bye-law in respect of any Member shall cease if the Member claims a dividend or cashes a dividend cheque or draft.

 

17.

Capitalisation

The Board may capitalise any amount for the time being standing to the credit of any of the Company’s share premium or other reserve accounts or to the credit of the profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution by applying such amount in paying up unissued shares to be allotted as fully paid bonus shares pro rata (except in connection with the conversion of shares of one class to shares of another class) to the Members in accordance with Bye-law 14.2.

In addition to any other requirement under applicable law, for a proposal of business to be properly requested to be brought before the special general meeting, a Member must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Secretary and any such proposed business must constitute a proper matter for Member action pursuant to these Bye-laws and applicable law. To be timely and in proper written form, the Member’s notice must meet the requirements of Bye-law 21.2(c) (substituting special general meeting for annual general meeting as applicable) and must be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company not earlier than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such special general meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the sixtieth (60th) day prior to such special general meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special general meeting and (if relevant) of the nominees proposed by the Board to be elected at such meeting; provided, however, that if the election of directors is proposed to be considered at a special general meeting, a Member may nominate persons for election at a special general meeting only to such directorship(s) as specified in the Company’s notice of the meeting. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of a special meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a Member’s notice as described above.

Except as otherwise provided by law, the chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty:

 

  (a)

to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Bye-law 21 (including whether the Member or beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made solicited (or is part of a group which solicited) or did not so solicit, as the case may be, proxies in support of such Member’s nominee or proposal in compliance with such Member’s representation as required by this Bye-law 21); and

 

23


  (b)

if any proposed nomination or proposed business was not made or proposed in compliance with this Bye-law 21, to declare that such nomination shall be disregarded or that such proposed business shall not be transacted. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Bye-law 21, if the Member (or a qualified representative of the Member) does not appear at a general meeting of Members of the Company to present the nomination to the Board or to present the proposed business, such nomination shall be disregarded and such proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Company. For purposes of this Bye-law 21, to be considered a qualified representative of the Member, a person must be authorized by a writing executed by such Member or an electronic transmission delivered by such Member to act for such Member as proxy at the meeting of Members and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of Members.

 

21.5

A Member providing notice of nominations of persons for election to the Board at an annual or special general meeting of Members or notice of business proposed to be brought before a general meeting of Members shall further update and supplement such notice so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this Bye-law 21 shall be true and correct both as of the record date for the determination of Members entitled to notice of the meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) business days before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such updated and supplemental information shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company:

 

  (a)

in the case of information that is required to be updated and supplemented to be true and correct as of the record date for the determination of Members entitled to notice of the meeting, not later than the later of five (5) business days after such record date or five (5) business days after the public announcement of such record date; and

 

  (b)

in the case of information that is required to be updated and supplemented to be true and correct as of ten (10) business days before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, not later than eight (8) business days before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof (or if not practicable to provide such updated and supplemental information not later than eight (8) business days before any adjournment or postponement, on the first practicable date before any such adjournment or postponement).

 

24


21.6

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Bye-law 21, a Member shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Bye-law 21. Nothing in this Bye-law 21 shall be deemed to affect any rights (a) of Members to request inclusion of proposals in the Company’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or (b) of the holders of any series of Preference Shares to elect directors pursuant to any applicable provisions of these Bye-laws or a Preference Share Designation.

 

21.7

In order that the Company may determine the Members entitled to notice of any general meeting of Members or any adjournment thereof, the Board may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) calendar days nor fewer than ten (10) calendar days before the date of such meeting. If the Board so fixes a record date for determining the Members entitled to notice of any general meeting of Members, such date shall be the record date for determining the Members entitled to vote at such meeting, unless the Board determines, at the time it fixes the record date for determining the Members entitled to notice of such meeting, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the record date for determining Members entitled to vote at such meeting. In order that the Company may determine the Members entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of shares or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix, in advance, a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) calendar days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed by the Board: (a) the record date for determining Members entitled to notice of or to vote at a general meeting of Members shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held, and (b) the record date for determining Members for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of Members entitled to notice of or to vote at a general meeting of Members shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting in accordance with this Bye-law 21.7.

Quorum at General Meetings; Adjournment

 

25.1

Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preference Shares and except as otherwise provided by law or these Bye-laws, at any general meeting of Members, the holders of a majority in total voting power of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote at the meeting shall be present or represented by proxy in order to constitute a quorum for the transaction of any business. The chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a quorum is present at any general meeting of the Members. Shares of the Company belonging to the Company or to another person, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other person is held, directly or indirectly, by the Company, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company to vote shares, including, but not limited to, its own shares, held by it in a fiduciary capacity. In the absence of a quorum, the chairman of the meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner provided in Bye-law 25.2 until a quorum shall be present.

 

25.2

Any general meeting of Members may adjourn from time to time solely by the chairman of the meeting because of the absence of a quorum or for any other reason and to reconvene at the same or some other time, date and place, if any. Notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time, date and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. The chairman of the meeting shall have full power and authority to adjourn a general meeting of the Members in his sole discretion even over Member opposition to such adjournment. The Members present at a meeting shall not have the authority to adjourn the meeting. If the time, date and place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which the Members and the proxy holders may be deemed to be present and in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken and the adjournment is for less than thirty (30) days, no notice need be given of any such adjourned meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days and the time, date and place, if any, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which the Members and the proxy holders may be deemed to be present and in person are not announced at the meeting at which the

 

27


 

adjournment is taken, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, then notice shall be given by the Secretary as required for the original meeting. At the adjourned meeting, the Company may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting.

 

26.

Chairman to Preside at General Meetings

The Board or, if the Board fails to act, the Members, may appoint any Member, Director or officer of the Company to act as chairman of any general meeting in the absence of the Secretary, the Chief Executive Officer, the President and all Vice Presidents.

27.2

At any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall, in the first instance, be voted upon by a show of hands and, subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being lawfully attached to any class of shares and subject to these Bye-laws, every Member present in person and every person holding a valid proxy at such meeting shall be entitled to one vote and shall cast such vote by raising his hand.

 

27.3

27.4

At any general meeting if an amendment is proposed to any resolution under consideration, the chairman of the meeting shall solely rule on whether or not the proposed amendment is permitted or out of order. The proceedings on the substantive resolution shall not be invalidated by any error in such ruling.

 

27.5

At any general meeting a declaration by the chairman of the meeting that a question proposed for consideration has, on a show of hands, been carried, or carried unanimously, or by a particular majority, or lost, and an entry to that effect in a book containing the minutes of the proceedings of the Company shall, subject to these Bye-laws, be conclusive evidence of that fact.

A person entitled to more than one vote need not use all his votes or cast all the votes he uses in the same way.

 

28.3

A poll demanded for the purpose of electing a chairman of the meeting or on a question of adjournment shall be taken forthwith.

Each person present by telephone, electronic or other communication facilities or means shall cast his vote in such manner as the chairman of the meeting shall direct. At the conclusion of the poll, the ballot papers and votes cast in accordance with such directions shall be examined and counted by one or more

32.2

The chairman of a general meeting may adjourn the meeting to another time and place without the consent or direction of the Members if it appears to him that:

Any Director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of Directors in which the vacancy occurred or to which the new directorship is apportioned, and until such Director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified. No decrease in the number of Directors constituting the Board shall shorten the term of any incumbent Director, except as may be provided in the terms of any series of Preference Shares with respect to any additional Director elected by the holders of such series of Preference Shares. In case the entire Board shall die or resign, the President or Secretary, or any ten (10) Members may call and cause notice to be given for a special general meeting of Members in the same manner that the chairman of the Board may call such a meeting, and Directors for the unexpired terms may be elected at such special general meeting.

If any provision or provisions of this Bye-law 52 shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any circumstance for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Bye-law 52 (including each portion of any paragraph of this Bye-law 52 containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Bye-law 52 (including each such portion of any paragraph of this Bye-law 52 containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to permit the Company to protect its directors, officers, employees and agents from personal liability in respect of their good faith service to or for the benefit of the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law.

The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended but excluding any liability arising by virtue of fraud or dishonesty, any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he, or a person for whom he is the legal representative, is or was a Director, Resident Representative, or Officer or while a Director, Resident Representative, or Officer is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, resident representative, officer, employee or agent of another Person, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by such person. Such right of indemnification shall inure whether or not the claim asserted is based on matters which antedate the adoption of this Bye-law 53. The Company shall be required to indemnify or make advances to a person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if the proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.

 

53.3

The Company shall pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a Director, Resident Representative, or officer in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that the payment of expenses incurred by a Director, Resident Representative, or Officer in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the director or officer to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the Director or Officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this paragraph or otherwise.

 

53.4

If a claim for indemnification or payment of expenses under this Bye-law 53 is not paid in full within sixty (60) days after a written claim therefor has been received by the Company, the claimant may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. In any such action, the Company shall have the burden of proving that the claimant was not entitled to the requested indemnification or payment of expenses under applicable law.

 

53.5

The rights conferred on any person by this paragraph shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of these Bye-laws, agreement, deed, contract, vote of Members or resolution of disinterested Directors or otherwise.

 

53.6

The Board may, to the full extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists, or may hereafter be amended from time to time, authorize an appropriate officer or officers to purchase and maintain at the Company’s expense insurance: (i) to indemnify the Company for any obligation which it incurs as a result of the indemnification of Directors, the Resident Representative, and Officers under the provisions of this Bye-law 53; and (ii) to indemnify or insure Directors, the Resident Representative and Officers against liability in instances in which they may not otherwise be indemnified by the Company under the provisions of this Bye-law 53.

 

40


53.7

The Company’s obligation, if any, to indemnify any person who was or is serving at its request as a director, resident representative, officer, employee or agent of another Person will be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification from such other Person.

 

53.8

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Bye-law 53, each Member agrees to waive any claim or right of action such Member might have, whether individually or by or in the right of the Company, against any Director or Officer on account of any action taken by such Director or Officer, or the failure of such Director or Officer to take any action in the performance of his duties with or for the Company or any subsidiary thereof; provided that such waiver shall not extend to any matter in respect of any fraud or dishonesty in relation to the Company which may attach to such Director or Officer.

 

53.9

Any amendment, modification or repeal of the foregoing provisions of this Bye-law 53 will not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment, modification or repeal.
