SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

It is proposed that the EGM be held for the following purposes:

1) Resolution 1 — Subject to the passing of Resolution 2, to consider and, if thought fit, to pass with or without amendment, as an ordinary resolution the following:

““That, the authorised share capital of the Company be changed from US$1,050,000 divided into 150,000,000 Shares of par value US$0.007 each, of which (i) 80,000,000 are designated as Ordinary Shares of par value US$0.007 each, and (ii) 70,000,000 are designated as Preferred Shares of par value US$0.007 each to US$1,050,000 divided into 10,500,000,000 Shares of par value US$0.0001 each (the “Subdivided Shares”), of which (i) 5,600,000,000 shall be designated as Ordinary Shares of par value US$0.0001 each, and (ii) 4,900,000,000 shall be designated as Preferred Shares of par value US$0.0001 each (the “Share Subdivision”) by (a) the subdivision of all of the authorised but unissued shares of a par value of US$0.007 each by 70; and (b) the subdivision of all of the authorised and issued shares of a par value of US$0.007 each by 70, and that the Subdivided Shares (both issued and unissued) will rank pari passu in all respects with each other with such Share Subdivision to take effect once passed and, in accordance with this Proxy Statement.”

2) Resolution 2 — Subject to the passing of Resolutions 1, to consider and if thought fit, to pass with or without amendment, as a special resolution the following:

“That, the memorandum and articles of association of the Company be amended and restated by the deletion in their entirety and by the substitution in their place of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.”

The Company is currently not aware of any other matters that will come before the EGM. If any other matters properly come before the EGM, the persons designated as proxies intend to vote thereon in accordance with their best judgment on such matters.

Shareholders may elect to vote their Shares once, either by attending the EGM in person, or by appointing a duly executed proxy as detailed below.

A Form of Proxy for use at the EGM is enclosed with this Proxy Statement and available to you to at https://gmedinnovations.com/investors#irm-content. Shareholders may revoke the authority granted by their execution of proxies at any time before the effective exercise thereof by filing with the Company a written notice of revocation

or duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by voting in person at the EGM. However, if the Shareholder attends the EGM and does not elect to vote in person, his or her proxy will not be revoked. All valid proxies received at least 48 hours prior to the EGM or any adjourned EGM will be voted in accordance with the instructions specified by the Shareholder. If a proxy card is returned without instructions, the persons named as proxy holders on the proxy card will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors, as described above. If specification is made by a Shareholder on the Form of Proxy, the Shares represented thereby will be voted in accordance with such specification. On all matters considered at the EGM, abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as neither a vote “for” nor “against” the matter, although they will be counted in determining if a quorum is present.

Proxies for use at the EGM are being solicited by the Board of Directors of the Company. A notice and information regarding the availability and accessing proxy materials for the EGM is being mailed to Shareholders on or about 28 November 2023 (excluding 81 treasury shares not taken into account) and will be solicited chiefly by mail and through the internet; however, certain officers, directors, employees and agents of the Company, none of whom will receive additional compensation therefor, may solicit proxies by telephone, telegram or other personal contact. The Company will bear the cost for the solicitation of the proxies, including postage, printing and handling, and will reimburse the reasonable expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding material to the beneficial owners of shares.

RECORD DATE; OUTSTANDING VOTING SECURITIES; VOTING RIGHTS

Only Shareholders of record at the close of business on 22 November 2023 will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the EGM and any adjournments or postponements thereof. As of the Record Date, there were 277,763 Ordinary Shares and 200,489 Preferred Shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the EGM (excluding 81 treasury shares not taken into account).

No business shall be transacted at the EGM unless a quorum is present. A quorum is twenty five percent (25%) of the Company’s issued and outstanding Shares present in person or by proxy or by a duly authorised representative and entitled to vote on the business to be transacted.

If a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting to commence or if during such a meeting a quorum ceases to be present, the meeting shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time and/or place or to such other day, time and/or place as the Company’s directors may determine, and if at the adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting to commence, the Shareholders present shall be a quorum.

PROPOSALS FOR THE EGM

ITEM 1 — SHARE SUBDIVISON

(Item 1 on the Proxy Card)

Proposal No. 1 — To subdivide the Shares of the Company

General

This resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the subdivision of shares on a 1 to 70 basis such that every 1 share in the Company (the “Shares”), including those held by Shareholders, would be subdivided into 70 shares (the “Share Subdivision”).

Effect of Share Subdivision to Shareholders

As at the date of the Notice, the Company has 200,489 Preferred Shares and 277,763 Ordinary Shares in issue (excluding 81 treasury shares with no voting rights) and the authorized share capital of the Company is US$1,050,000 divided into 150,000,000 Shares of par value US$0.007 each, of which (i) 80,000,000 shall be designated as Ordinary Shares of par value US$0.007 each, and (ii) 70,000,000 shall be designated as Preferred Shares of par value US$0.007 each. Immediately upon the Share Subdivision becoming effective, the authorized share capital of the Company shall be US$1,050,000 divided into 10,500,000,000 Shares of par value US$0.0001 each, of which (i) 5,600,000,000 shall be designated as Ordinary Shares of par value US$0.0001 each, and (ii) 4,900,000,000 shall be designated as Preferred Shares of par value US$0.0001 each. The Share Subdivision will also have the effect of increasing the number of Shares in issue as of the date of the Notice to approximately 14,034,252 Preferred Shares and 19,443,449 Ordinary Shares. Individual holdings will be increased in accordance with the subdivision ratio.

As the Share Subdivision applies equally to all Shareholders, it will have no material effect on the percentage interest of each Shareholder of the Company. Further, the aggregate value of each Shareholder’s proportional interest in the Company will not materially change solely as a result of the Share Subdivision.

As Shareholders are aware, as part of bringing the Company back into compliance with the Nasdaq listing rules (which included bringing the Company’s share price over US$1.00) in an effort to remain listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company conducted a reverse share split on 12 September 2023 such that the shares in the Company were consolidated on the basis that every 70 Shares of par value US$0.0001 each was consolidated into 1 Share of par value US$0.007 each. Following the de-listing of the Company’s securities from Nasdaq, the Company seeks to reverse this action by way of a forward share split or subdivision by the same 1 to 70 ratio. If the Company seeks a stock exchange listing in the future and if a reverse split/consolidation is needed at that time, the Company would seek the requisite approvals with an appropriate ratio to apply at such time.

Effect of Share Subdivision to option holders and performance rights and warrant holders

As at the date of the Notice, the Company has 1,447 performance rights, 52,584 options, 26,394 warrants and 21,429 prefunded warrants on issue which are convertible or exchangeable into Shares. Subject to the passing of the Resolution, all of the existing options and performance rights will also be subdivided by the same subdivision ratio. The total number of performance rights and options will be increased to 100,721 performance rights and 7,027,177 options, warrants and prefunded warrants.

Taxation

It is not considered that any taxation implications will arise for Shareholders, holders of options and warrants or holders of performance rights from the Share Subdivision. However, Shareholders, holders of options and warrants or holders of performance rights are advised to seek their own tax advice on the effect of the Share Subdivision. The Company, the directors and their advisers do not accept any responsibility for the individual taxation implications arising from the Share Subdivision or the other proposed resolutions.

Holding Statements

From the date of the Share Subdivision, all holding statements for previously held shares will cease to have any effect, except as evidence of an entitlement to a certain number of Shares on a post Share Subdivision basis.

After the Share Subdivision becomes effective, the Company will arrange for new holding statements for Shares proposed to be quoted to be issued to holders of those Shares.

It is the responsibility of each Shareholder to check the number of Shares held prior to subsequent disposal.

The resolution is an ordinary resolution and therefore requires approval of a simple majority of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote on a poll (in person or by proxy).

Vote Required; Recommendation of the Board

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the proposal to approve the Share Subdivision of the Company.

ITEM 2 — AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

(Item 2 on the Proxy Card)

Proposal No. 2 — Shareholder approval is sought to amend and restate the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company by special resolution.

A copy of the proposed amended and restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company (the “Amended M&A”) is attached hereto at Exhibit A.

Subject to the passing of Resolution 1 at the EGM and if approved, the Amended M&A will be effective from the close of the Meeting.

Resolution 2 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of two-thirds of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote on poll (in person or by proxy).

A summary of the material proposed modifications to the Articles of Association is as set out below:

(a) The memorandum of association will be amended by deleting the existing paragraph 5 and replacing it with the following:

“The authorised share capital of the Company is US$1,050,000 divided into 10,500,000,000 Shares of par value US$0.0001 each of which (i) 5,600,000,000 shall be designated as Ordinary Shares of par value US$0.0001 each, and (ii) 4,900,000,000 shall be designated as Preferred Shares of par value US$0.0001 each.”

Vote Required; Recommendation of the Board

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the proposal to approve the amendment and restatement of the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company.

Management currently knows of no other business to be transacted at the EGM, other than as set forth in the Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting; but, if any other matters are properly presented at the EGM, the persons named in the enclosed Form of Proxy will vote upon such matters in accordance with their best judgment.

Please refer to the accompanying Form of Proxy, which is made a part of this proxy statement.

5.4 For the purpose of the foregoing, the creation of any pledge, charge, encumbrance or other third party right of whatever description on any of Preferred Shares to secure contractual or legal obligations shall not be deemed as a sale, transfer, assignment or disposition unless and until any such pledge, charge, encumbrance or other third party right is enforced and results in the third party holding directly or indirectly beneficial ownership or voting power through voting proxy or otherwise to the related Preferred Shares, in which case all the related Preferred Shares shall be automatically converted into the same number of Preferred Shares.

5.5 Any conversion of Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares pursuant to these Articles shall be effected by means of the re-designation of each relevant Preferred Share as an Ordinary Share.

8.3 Circumstances where Register of Members is not closed and no fixed record date

If the Register of Members is not closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of Members entitled to notice of, or to vote at, a meeting of Members or Members entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution, the date on which notice of the meeting is sent or the date on which the resolution of the Directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of Members.

For the purpose of this Article 9, the expression “Shares”, where the context permits, also includes Interests in such Shares).

10.2 Disapplication of inconsistent Articles

(c) Shares may be changed from uncertificated to certificated form, and from certificated to uncertificated form, in such manner as the Directors may in their absolute discretion, think fit;

(d) Article 14.2 shall not apply in respect of Shares recorded on the Register of Members as being held in uncertificated form to the extent that Article 14.2 requires or contemplates the effecting of a transfer by an instrument in writing and the production of a certificate for the Share to be transferred;

(e) a Class of Share shall not be treated as two Classes by virtue only of that Class comprising both certificated and uncertificated Shares or as a result of any provision of these Articles or the rules and requirements of the Relevant System or any other applicable law or regulation which applies only in respect of certificated and uncertificated Shares;

(f) where the Company is entitled under applicable law or these Articles to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, redeem, repurchase, re-allot, accept the surrender of, forfeit or enforce a lien over, a Share in the Company, the Directors shall, subject to such applicable laws, these Articles and the facilities and requirements of the Relevant System be entitled (without limitation):

(i) to require the holder of that Share by notice to convert that Share into certificated form within the period specified in the notice and to hold that Share in certificated form so long as required by the Company;

(ii) to require the operator of the Relevant System to convert that Share into certificated form;

(iii) to require the holder of that Share by notice to give any instructions necessary to transfer title to that Share by means of the Relevant System within the period specified in the notice;

(a) the holding of Depository Interests; and

(b) the facilities and requirements of the Relevant System.

11.3 Arrangements for Depository Interests

(a) The Directors may make such arrangements or regulations (if any) as they may from time to time in their absolute discretion think fit in relation to the evidencing, issue and transfer of Depository Interests and otherwise for the purpose of implementing and/or supplementing the provisions of this Article 11 and the Exchange Rules and the facilities and requirements of the Relevant System.

(b) The Company may use the Relevant System in which any Depository Interests are held to the fullest extent available from time to time in the exercise of any of its powers or functions under the Companies Act, the Exchange Rules or these Articles or otherwise in effecting any actions.

(c) For the purpose of effecting any action by the Company, the Directors may determine that Depository Interests held by a person shall be treated as a separate holding from certificated Shares held by that person.

Shares in a particular Class shall not form a separate Class of Shares from other Shares in that Class because they are dealt with as Depository Interests.

11.5 Power of sale

Where the Company is entitled under applicable law or these Articles to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, redeem, repurchase, re-allot, accept the surrender of, forfeit or enforce a lien over, any Share represented by a Depository Interest, the Directors shall, subject to such applicable laws, these Articles and the facilities and requirements of the Relevant System be entitled (without limitation):

(a) Subject to the terms on which Shares are allotted, the Directors may make calls on the Members (and any persons entitled by transmission) in respect of any amounts unpaid on their Shares (whether in respect of nominal value or premium or otherwise) and not payable on a date fixed by or in accordance with the allotment terms. Each such Member or other person shall pay to the Company the amount called, subject to receiving at least fourteen (14) clear days’ notice specifying when and where the payment is to be made, as required by such notice.

(b) A call may be made payable by instalments. A call shall be deemed to have been made when the resolution of the Directors authorising it is passed. A call may, before the Company’s receipt of any amount due under it, be revoked or postponed in whole or in part as the Directors may decide. A person upon whom a call is made will remain liable for calls made on him notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the Shares in respect of which the call was made.

12.2 Liability of joint holders

The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect of it.

12.3 lnterest

lf the whole of the sum payable in respect of any call is not paid by the day it becomes due and payable, the person from whom it is due shall pay all costs, charges and expenses that the Company may have incurred by reason of such non-payment, together with interest on the unpaid amount from the day it became due and payable until it is paid at the rate fixed by the terms of the allotment of the Share or in the notice of the call or, if no rate is fixed, at such rate, not exceeding eight percent (8%) per annum (compounded on a six monthly basis), as the Directors shall determine. The Directors may waive payment of such costs, charges, expenses or interest in whole or in part.

12.4 Differentiation

Subject to the allotment terms, the Directors may make arrangements on or before the issue of Shares to differentiate between the holders of Shares in the amounts and times of payment of calls on their Shares.

12.5 Payment in advance of calls

(a) The Directors may receive from any Member (or any person entitled by transmission) all or any part of the amount uncalled and unpaid on the Shares held by him (or to which he is entitled). The liability of each such Member or other person on the Shares to which such payment relates shall be reduced by such amount. The Company may pay interest on such amount from the time of receipt until the time when such amount would, but for such advance, have become due and payable at such rate not exceeding eight percent (8%) per annum (compounded on a six monthly basis) as the Directors may decide.

(b) No sum paid up on a Share in advance of a call shall entitle the holder to any portion of a dividend subsequently declared or paid in respect of any period prior to the date on which such sum would, but for such payment, become due and payable.

12.6 Restrictions if calls unpaid

Unless the Directors decide otherwise, no Member shall be entitled to receive any dividend or to be present or vote at any meeting or to exercise any right or privilege as a Member until he has paid all calls due and payable on every Share held by him, whether alone or jointly with any other person, together with interest and expenses (if any) to the Company.

12.7 Sums due on allotment treated as calls

Any sum payable in respect of a Share on allotment or at any fixed date, whether in respect of the nominal value of the Share or by way of premium or otherwise or as an instalment of a call, shall be deemed to be a call. lf such sum is not paid, these Articles shall apply as if it had become due and payable by virtue of a call.

13. FORFEITURE OF SHARES

13.1 Forfeiture after notice of unpaid call

(a) lf a call or an instalment of a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable, the Directors may give to the person from whom it is due not less than fourteen (14) clear days’ notice requiring payment of the amount unpaid together with any interest which may have accrued and any costs, charges and expenses that the Company may have incurred by reason of such non-payment. The notice shall state the place where payment is to be made and that if the notice is not complied with the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited. lf the notice is not complied with, any Shares in respect of which it was given may, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors. The forfeiture will include all dividends and other amounts payable in respect of the forfeited Shares which have not been paid before the forfeiture.

(b) The Directors may accept the surrender of a Share which is liable to be forfeited in accordance with these Articles. All provisions in these Articles which apply to the forfeiture of a Share also apply to the surrender of a Share.

13.2 Notice after forfeiture

When a Share has been forfeited, the Company shall give notice of the forfeiture to the person who was before forfeiture the holder of the Share or the person entitled by transmission to the Share. An entry that such notice has been given and of the fact and date of forfeiture shall be made in the Register of Members. Notwithstanding the above, no forfeiture will be invalidated by any omission to give such notice or make such entry.

13.3 Consequences of forfeiture

(a) A Share shall, on its forfeiture, become the property of the Company.

(b) All interest in and all claims and demands against the Company in respect of a Share and all other rights and liabilities incidental to the Share as between its holder and the Company shall, on its forfeiture, be extinguished and terminate except as otherwise stated in these Articles.

(c) The holder of a Share (or the person entitled to it by transmission) which is forfeited shall:

(i) on its forfeiture cease to be a Member (or a person entitled) in respect of it;

(ii) if a certificated Share, surrender to the Company for cancellation the share certificate for the Share;

(iii) remain liable to pay to the Company all monies payable in respect of the Share at the time of forfeiture, with interest from such time of forfeiture until the time of payment, in the same manner in all respects as if the Share had not been forfeited; and

(iv) remain liable to satisfy all (if any) claims and demands which the Company might have enforced in respect of the Share at the time of forfeiture without any deduction or allowance for the value of the Share at the time of forfeiture or for any consideration received on its disposal.

13.4 Disposal of forfeited Share

(a) A forfeited Share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors may decide either to the person who was before the forfeiture the holder or to any other person. At any time before the disposal, the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors may decide. Where for the purpose of its disposal a forfeited Share is to be transferred to any transferee, the Directors may:

(i) in the case of certificated Shares, authorise a person to execute an instrument of transfer of Shares in the name and on behalf of their holder to the purchaser or as the purchaser may direct;

(ii) in the case of uncertificated Shares, exercise any power conferred on them by Article 10.3(f) to effect a transfer of the Shares; and

(iii) if the Share is represented by a Depository Interest, exercise any of the Company’s powers under Article 11.5 to effect the sale of the Share to, or in accordance with the directions of, the buyer.

(b) The purchaser will not be bound to see to the application of the purchase monies in respect of any such sale. The title of the transferee to the Shares will not be affected by any irregularity in or invalidity of the proceedings connected with the sale or transfer. Any instrument or exercise referred to at paragraph (a) of this Article shall be effective as if it had been executed or exercised by the holder of, or the person entitled by transmission to, the Shares to which it relates.

13.5 Proof of forfeiture

A statutory declaration by a Director or any other officer that a Share has been forfeited on a specified date shall be conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it against all persons claiming to be entitled to the Share. The declaration shall (subject to the execution of any necessary instrument of transfer) constitute good title to the Share. The person to whom the Share is disposed of shall not be bound to see to the application of the consideration (if any) given for it on such disposal. His title to the Share will not be affected by any irregularity in, or invalidity of, the proceedings connected with the forfeiture or disposal.

(ix) if the instrument of transfer is not delivered for registration to the Registered Office or such other place as the Directors may decide, accompanied by the certificate for the Shares to which it relates and any other evidence as the Directors may reasonably require to prove the title to such Share of the transferor and the due execution by him of the transfer or, if the transfer is executed by some other person on his behalf, the authority of such person to do so,

provided that the Directors shall not refuse to register, prevent or interfere with any transfer of any certificated Shares listed on the Exchange in any manner which is contrary to the Exchange Rules or to the rules and requirements of the Relevant System.

(b) lf the Directors refuse to register a transfer pursuant to this Article, they shall, within two (2) months after the date on which the transfer was delivered to the Company, send notice of the refusal to the transferee.

All instruments of transfer which are registered may, subject to these Articles, be retained by the Company.

(c) If the Directors so resolve, the Company may apply, or request that the Exchange apply, a holding lock (including to prevent a transfer, or to refuse to register a written transfer instrument) where Applicable Laws permit the Company to do so.

No fee shall be charged by the Company for the registration of a transfer of a Share or other document relating to or affecting the title to any Share.

14.6 Renunciations of Shares

Nothing in these Articles shall preclude the Directors from recognising the renunciation of any Share by the allottee thereof in favour of some other person.

14.7 Enforceability of and interpretation/administration of this Article

(a) If any provision of this Article 14 or any part of such provision is held under any circumstances to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then:

(i) the invalidity of unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision or part thereof under any other circumstances or in any other jurisdiction; and

(a) if the deceased Member was a joint holder, the survivor;

(b) if the deceased Member was a sole or the only surviving holder, the personal representative of that Member; or

(a) Any person becoming entitled to a Share as a result of the death, bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other way than by transfer) may, upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time be required by the Directors, elect either to become registered as the holder of the Share or nominate another person to be registered as the holder of that Share.

A person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death, bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other case than by transfer) shall be entitled to the same Dividends and other rights to which he would be entitled if he were the registered holder of the Share. However, the person shall not, before being registered as a Member in respect of the Share, be entitled in respect of it to attend or vote at any meeting of the Company and the Directors may at any time give notice requiring any such person to elect either to be registered himself or to have some person nominated by him registered as the holder (and the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to refuse registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by that Member before his death, bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution, as the case may be). If the notice is not complied with within ninety (90) days the Directors may withhold payment of all Dividends, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the Share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

(iv) accept the surrender for no consideration of any paid up Share (including any redeemable Share) on such terms and in such manner as the Directors may determine.

(b) Any Share in respect of which notice of redemption has been given shall not be entitled to participate in the profits of the Company in respect of the period after the date specified as the date of redemption in the notice of redemption.

(c) The redemption or purchase of any Share shall not be deemed to give rise to the redemption or purchase of any other Share.

(d) The Directors may when making payments in respect of the redemption or purchase of Shares, if authorised by the terms of issue of the Shares being redeemed or purchased or with the agreement of the holder of such Shares, make such payment either in cash or in specie.

(e) The Directors may hold any repurchased, redeemed or surrendered Shares as Treasury Shares in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act and these Articles.

17. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Any financial assistance given by the Company in connection with a purchase made or to be made by any person of any Shares or Interests in Shares in the Company shall only be made in accordance with the Companies Act, applicable law and the Exchange Rules (where applicable).

18. CLASS RIGHTS AND CLASS MEETINGS

20.4 Application of proceeds of sale

The net proceeds of a sale made under a lien after payment of costs, shall be applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable and any balance shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the Shares before the sale) be paid to the person who was entitled to the Shares immediately prior to the sale.

(iii) such advertisements, if not published on the same day, are published within thirty (30) days of each other;

(iv) during a further period of three months following the date of publication of such advertisements (or, if published on different dates, the date on which the requirements of this paragraph (a) concerning the publication of newspaper advertisements are met) and prior to the sale the Company has not received any communication (whether in writing or otherwise) in respect of such Share from the Member or person entitled by transmission.

(b) lf during such six year period, or during any subsequent period ending on the date when all the requirements of paragraph (a) of this Article have been met in respect of any Shares, any additional Shares have been issued in respect of those held at the beginning of, or previously so issued during, any such subsequent period and all the requirements of paragraph (a) of this Article have been satisfied with regard to such additional Shares, the Company may also sell the additional Shares.

21.2 Application of sale proceeds

The Company shall account to the Member or other person entitled to such Share for the net proceeds of such sale by carrying all monies in respect of the sale to a separate account.

Monies carried to such separate account may either be employed in the business of the Company or invested as the Directors may think fit.

(c) A general meeting convened in accordance with this Article by requisitionists shall be convened (insofar as is possible) in the same manner as that in which general meetings are to be convened by Directors and the Directors shall, upon demand, provide the names and addresses of each Member to the requisitionists for the purpose of convening such meeting.

(b) Subject to the Companies Act and notwithstanding that it is convened by shorter notice than that specified in paragraph (a) of this Article, a general meeting shall be deemed to have been duly convened if it is so agreed in the case of all meetings by ninety percent (90%) of all the Shares entitled to attend and vote at the meeting.

(c) The notice of meeting shall specify:

(i) whether the meeting is an annual general meeting or a general meeting;

(ii) the place (if a physical meeting), the day and the time of the meeting;

(iv) if the meeting is convened to consider a Special Resolution, the intention to propose the resolution as such;

24.2 Omission or non-receipt of notice or instrument of proxy

The accidental omission to send or give notice of meeting or, in cases where it is intended that it be sent out or given with the notice, an instrument of proxy or other document to, or the non-receipt of any such item by, any person entitled to receive such notice shall not invalidate the proceedings at that meeting. A person’s attendance at a general meeting (in person or by proxy) shall have the effect of waiving any objection which that person may have had to a failure to give notice, or the giving of a defective notice, of such general meeting, unless such person at the beginning of the general meeting objects to the holding of the meeting.

25. PROCEEDINGS AT GENERAL MEETINGS

25.1 Requirement and number for a quorum

No business may be transacted at a general meeting unless a quorum is present. A quorum is twenty five percent (25%) of the Company’s issued and outstanding Shares present in person or by proxy or by a duly authorised representative and entitled to vote on the business to be transacted, unless the Company has only one Member in which case that Member alone constitutes a quorum. The absence of a quorum will not prevent the appointment of a chairman of the meeting. Such appointment shall not be treated as being part of the business of the meeting.

25.2 General meetings by telephone or other communications device

A general meeting may be held by means of any telephone, electronic or other communications facilities, including virtual, that permit all persons in the meeting to communicate with each other and participation in such a meeting shall constitute presence in person at such meeting. Unless otherwise determined by resolution of the Members present, the meeting shall be deemed to be held at the place where the chairman is physically present.

25.3 Adjournment if quorum not present

If within thirty (30) minutes after the time appointed for a general meeting a quorum is not present (or if during such a meeting a quorum ceases to be present), the meeting:

(a) if convened upon the requisition of Members, shall be dissolved; and

(b) in any other case, stands adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time and place or to such other day, time and place as the Directors may determine, and if at the adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within thirty (30) minutes from the time appointed for the meeting the Members present shall be a quorum.

25.4 Appointment of chairman of general meeting

(a) If the Directors have elected one of their number as chairman of their meetings that person shall preside as chairman at every general meeting of the Company.

25.5 Orderly conduct

The chairman shall take such action or give directions for such action to be taken as he thinks fit to promote the orderly conduct of the business of the meeting. The chairman’s decision on points of order, matters of procedure or arising incidentally from the business of the meeting shall be final as shall be his determination as to whether any point or matter is of such a nature.

25.6 Entitlement to attend and speak

Each Director shall be entitled to attend and speak at any general meeting of the Company. The chairman may invite any person to attend and speak at any general meeting of the Company where he considers that this will assist in the deliberations of the meeting.

adjournment took place. When a general meeting is adjourned for thirty (30) days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting. Otherwise it shall not be necessary to give any such notice.

25.8 Voting on a show of hands

(a) At any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting must be decided on a show of hands unless a poll is demanded.

(b) Unless a poll is so demanded, a declaration by the chairman that a resolution 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 the Company’s book containing the minutes of proceedings of the Company, is conclusive evidence of the fact. Neither the chairman nor the minutes need state, and it is not necessary to prove, the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against the resolution.

25.9 When a poll may be demanded

A poll may only be demanded:

(a) before the show of hands on that resolution is taken;

(b) before the result of the show of hands on that resolution is declared; or

(c) immediately after the result of the show of hands on that resolution is declared.

25.10 Demand for poll

(a) A poll may be demanded by either:

(ii) at least five (5) Members entitled to vote at the meeting;

(iii) a Member or Members representing in aggregate not less than ten percent (10%) of the total voting rights of all the Members having the right to vote at the meeting; or

(iv) a Member or Members holding Shares conferring a right to vote on the resolution on which an aggregate sum has been paid up equal to not less than ten percent (10%) of the total sum paid up on all the Shares conferring that right.

(b) A demand for a poll does not prevent the continuance of the meeting for the transaction of any business other than the question on which the poll has been demanded.

25.11 Voting on a poll

If a poll is properly demanded:

(a) it must be taken in the manner and at the date and time directed by the chairman;

(b) on the election of a chairman or on a question of adjournment, it must be taken immediately;

(c) the result of the poll is a resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded; and

(d) the demand may be withdrawn.

25.12 No casting vote for chairman

If there is an equality of votes either on a show of hands or on a poll, the chairman is not entitled to a second or casting vote in addition to any other vote he may have or be entitled to exercise.

26. VOTES OF MEMBERS

26.1 Written resolutions of Members

A resolution (including a Special Resolution) in writing (in one or more counterparts) signed by or on behalf of all Members for the time being entitled to receive notice of and to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company shall be as valid and effective as if the resolution had been passed at a general meeting of the Company duly convened and held. A resolution in writing is adopted when all Members entitled to do so have signed it.

26.2 Registered Members to vote

No person shall be entitled to vote at any general meeting unless he is registered as a Member in the Register of Members on the record date for such meeting.

If a Share is held jointly and more than one of the joint holders votes in respect of that Share, only the vote of the joint holder whose name appears first in the Register of Members in respect of that Share counts.

26.5 Voting rights of Members incapable of managing their affairs

A Member of unsound mind, or in respect of whom an order has been made by any court having jurisdiction in matters concerning mental disorder, may vote whether on a show of hands or on a poll by his receiver, curator bonis, or other person on such Member’s behalf appointed by that court, and any such receiver, curator bonis or other person may vote by proxy.

26.6 Voting restriction on an outstanding call

Unless the Directors decide otherwise, no Member shall be entitled to be present or vote at any general meeting either personally or by proxy until he has paid all calls due and payable on every Share held by him whether alone or jointly with any other person together with interest and expenses (if any) to the Company.

26.7 Objection to error in voting

An objection to the right of a person to attend or vote at a general meeting or adjourned general meeting:

(a) may not be raised except at that meeting or adjourned meeting; and

(b) must be referred to the chairman of the meeting whose decision is final.

If any objection is raised to the right of a person to vote and the chairman disallows the objection then the vote cast by that person is valid for all purposes.

27. REPRESENTATION OF MEMBERS AT GENERAL MEETINGS

27.1 How Members may attend and vote

(a) Subject to these Articles, each Member entitled to vote at a general meeting may attend and vote at the general meeting:

(i) in person, or where a Member is a company or non-natural person, by a duly authorised representative; or

(d) The appointment of a proxy shall not preclude a Member from attending and voting at the meeting or any adjournment of it.

27.3 Form of instrument of proxy

The instrument appointing a proxy may be in any usual or common form (or in any other form approved by the Directors or prescribed by the Exchange Rules or the rules and requirements of the Relevant System) and may be expressed to be for a particular general meeting (or any adjournment of a general meeting) or generally until revoked.

27.4 Authority under instrument of proxy

The instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed (unless the contrary is stated in it) to confer authority to demand or join in demanding a poll and to vote, on a poll, on a resolution as a motion or an amendment of a resolution put to, or other business which may properly come before, the meeting or meetings for which it is given or any adjournment of any such meeting, as the proxy thinks fit.

27.5 Receipt of proxy appointment

The instrument appointing a proxy and any authority under which it is executed shall be deposited at the Registered Office or at such other place as is specified in the notice convening the meeting (or in any instrument of proxy sent out by the Company) prior to the time set out in such notice or instrument (or if no such time is specified, no later than forty-eight (48) hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the chairman may, in any event, at his discretion, direct that an instrument of proxy shall be deemed to have been duly deposited.

27.6 Uncertificated Proxy Instruction

In relation to any Shares which are held by means of a Relevant System, the Directors may from time to time permit appointments of a proxy to be made by means of an electronic communication in the form of an Uncertificated Proxy Instruction. The Directors may in a similar manner permit supplements to, or amendments or revocations of, any such Uncertificated Proxy Instruction to be made by like means. The Directors may in addition prescribe the method of determining the time at which any such properly

authenticated dematerialised instruction (and/or other instruction or notification) is to be treated as received by the Company or such participant. Notwithstanding any other provision in these Articles, the Directors may treat any such Uncertificated Proxy Instruction which purports to be or is expressed to be sent on behalf of a holder of a Share as sufficient evidence of the authority of the persons sending that instruction to send it on behalf of the holder.

27.7 Validity of votes cast by proxy

Votes given in accordance with the terms of an instrument of proxy shall be valid notwithstanding the previous death or insanity of the principal or revocation of the instrument of proxy or of the authority under which the instrument of proxy was executed, or the transfer of the Share in respect of which the proxy is appointed unless notice in writing of such death, insanity, revocation or transfer was received by the Company at the Registered Office before the commencement of the general meeting, or adjourned meeting at which the proxy voted.

27.8 Corporate representatives

A corporation which is a Member may, by resolution of its directors or other governing body, authorise such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the Company or at any separate meeting of the holders of any Class of Shares. Any person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation (in respect of that part of the corporation’s holdings to which the authority relates) as the corporation could exercise if it were an individual Member. The corporation shall for the purposes of these Articles be deemed to be present in person at any such meeting if a person so authorised is present at it. All references in these Articles to attendance and voting in person shall be construed accordingly.

Each person so authorised under the provisions of this Article shall be deemed to have been duly authorised without further evidence of the facts and be entitled to exercise the same rights and powers on behalf of the Clearing House or the Depository (or its nominee(s)) as if such person was the registered holder of the Shares of the Company held by the Clearing House or the Depository (or its nominee(s)).

27.10 Termination of proxy or corporate authority

A vote given or poll demanded by proxy or by the duly authorised representative of a corporation shall be valid notwithstanding the previous termination of the authority of the person voting or demanding a poll, unless notice of the termination was received by the Company at the Registered Office, or at such other place at which the instrument of proxy was duly deposited, or, where the appointment of proxy was contained in an electronic communication, at the address at which such appointment was duly received, at least one hour before the commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the vote is given or the poll demanded or (in the case of a poll not taken on the same day as the meeting or adjourned meeting) at least one hour before the time appointed for taking the poll.

(c) The dividend (or that part of the dividend in respect of which a right of election has been offered) shall not be payable on Shares in respect of which a valid election has been made (“the elected Shares”). Instead additional Shares shall be allotted to the holders of the elected Shares on the basis of allotment determined under this Article. For such purpose, the Directors may capitalise out of any amount for the time being standing to the credit of any reserve or fund of the Company (including any share premium account, capital redemption reserve and profit and loss account), whether or not available for distribution, a sum equal to the aggregate nominal amount of the additional Shares to be allotted on that basis and apply it in paying up in full the appropriate number of unissued Shares for allotment and distribution to the holders of the elected Shares on that basis.

(d) The additional Shares when allotted shall rank equally in all respects with the fully paid Shares in issue on the record date for the dividend in respect of which the right of election has been offered, except that they will not rank for any dividend or other entitlement which has been declared, paid or made by reference to such record date.

(e) The Directors may:

(i) do all acts and things which it considers necessary or expedient to give effect to any such capitalisation, and may authorise any person to enter on behalf of all the Members interested into an agreement with the Company providing for such capitalisation and incidental matters and any agreement so made shall be binding on all concerned;

(ii) establish and vary a procedure for election mandates in respect of future rights of election and determine that every duly effected election in respect of any Shares shall be binding on every successor in title to the holder of such Shares; and

(iii) terminate, suspend or amend any offer of the right to elect to receive Shares in lieu of any cash dividend at any time and generally implement any scheme in relation to any such offer on such terms and conditions as the Directors may from time to time determine and take such other action as the Directors may deem necessary or desirable from time to time in respect of any such scheme.

35.11 Reserves

The Directors may set aside out of the profits of the Company and carry to reserve such sums as it thinks fit. Such sums standing to reserve may be applied, at the Directors’ discretion, for any purpose to which the profits of the Company may properly be applied and, pending such application, may either be employed in the business of the Company or be invested in such investments as the Directors thinks fit. The Directors may divide the reserve into such special funds as it thinks fit and may consolidate into one fund any special funds or any parts of any special funds into which the reserve may have been divided as it thinks fit. The Directors may also carry forward any profits without placing them to reserve.

35.12 Capitalisation of profits and reserves

The Directors may, with the authority of an Ordinary Resolution:

(i) subject to this Article, resolve to capitalise any undivided profits of the Company not required for paying any preferential dividend (whether or not available for distribution) or any sum standing to the credit of any reserve or fund of the Company (including any share premium account, capital redemption reserve and profit and loss account), whether or not available for distribution;

(ii) appropriate the sum resolved to be capitalised to the holders of Shares in proportion to the nominal amounts of the Shares (whether or not fully paid) held by them respectively which would entitle them to participate in a distribution of that sum if the Shares were fully paid and the sum were then distributable and were distributed by way of dividend and apply such sum on their behalf either in or towards paying up the amounts, if any, unpaid on any Shares held by them respectively, or in paying up in full unissued Shares or debentures of the Company of a nominal amount equal to that sum, and allot the Shares or debentures credited as fully paid to those holders of Shares or as the Directors may direct, in those proportions, or partly in one way and partly in the other, but so that the share premium account, the capital redemption reserve and any profits or reserves which are not available for distribution may, for the purposes of this Article, only be applied in paying up unissued Shares to be allotted to Members credited as fully paid;

(iii) resolve that any Shares so allotted to any Member in respect of a holding by him of any partly paid Shares shall, so long as such Shares remain partly paid, rank for dividend only to the extent that such partly paid Shares rank for dividend;

(iv) make such provision by the issue of fractional certificates (or by ignoring fractions or by accruing the benefit of fractions to the Company rather than to the holders concerned) or by payment in cash or otherwise as the Directors may determine in the case of Shares or debentures becoming distributable in fractions;

(v) authorise any person to enter on behalf of all the Members concerned into an agreement with the Company providing for either:

(A) the allotment to them respectively, credited as fully paid, of any further Shares or debentures to which they are entitled upon such capitalisation; or

(B) the payment up by the Company on behalf of such Members by the application thereto of their respective proportions of the reserves or profits resolved to be capitalised, of the amounts or any part of the amounts remaining unpaid on their existing Shares,

and so that any such agreement shall be binding on all such Members; and

(vi) generally do all acts and things required to give effect to such resolution.

36. SHARE PREMIUM ACCOUNT

36.1 Directors to maintain share premium account

The Directors shall establish a share premium account in accordance with the Companies Act. They shall carry to the credit of that account from time to time an amount equal to the amount or value of the premium paid on the issue of any Share or capital contributed or such other amounts required by the Companies Act.

36.2 Debits to share premium account

(a) The following amounts shall be debited to any share premium account:

(ii) any other amount paid out of a share premium account as permitted by the Companies Act.

(b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) above, on the redemption or purchase of a Share, the Directors may pay the difference between the nominal value of that Share and the redemption purchase price out of the profits of the Company or, as permitted by the Companies Act, out of capital.

37. DISTRIBUTION PAYMENT RESTRICTIONS

Notwithstanding any other provision of these Articles, the Company shall not be obliged to make any payment to a Member in respect of a dividend, repurchase, redemption or other distribution if the Directors suspect that such payment may result in the breach or violation of any applicable laws or regulations (including, without limitation, any anti-money laundering laws or regulations) or such refusal is required by the laws and regulations governing the Company or its service providers.

38. BOOKS OF ACCOUNT

38.1 Books of account to be kept

The Directors shall cause proper books of account to be kept with respect to all sums of money received and expended by the Company and the matters in respect of which the receipt or expenditure takes place, all sales and purchases of goods by the Company and the assets and liabilities of the Company.

The Directors shall from time to time determine whether and to what extent and at what times and places and under what conditions or regulations the accounts and books of the Company or any of them will be open to the inspection of Members (not being Directors).

Auditors shall, if so required by the Directors, make a report on the accounts of the Company during their tenure of office at the next general meeting following their appointment, and at any other time during their term of office, upon request of the Directors or any general meeting of the Company.

(e) lf on three consecutive occasions notices or other documents have been sent using electronic communications to an address for the time being notified to the Company by the Member and the Company becomes aware that there has been a failure of transmission, the Company shall revert to giving notices and other documents to the Member by post or by any other means authorised in writing by the Member concerned.

41. WINDING UP

41.1 Method of winding up

(a) If the Company shall be wound up, and the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be insufficient to repay the whole of the share capital, such assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses shall be borne by the Members in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them.

(b) If in a winding up the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus shall be distributed amongst the Members in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up subject to a deduction from those Shares in respect of which there are monies due, of all monies payable to the Company.

(c) This Article is without prejudice to the rights of the holders of Shares issued upon special terms and conditions.

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any Class of Shares, on a winding up of the Company the liquidator may, with the sanction of a Special Resolution of the Company and any other sanction required by the Companies Act, distribute among the Members the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether they shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may for that purpose:
