such determination or in so far as the same may not make specific provision, as the Board may determine). Any share may be issued on the terms that it is, or at the option of the Company or the holder thereof is to be liable, to be redeemed on such

premium, to all the then members or to any class thereof for the time being in proportion (as nearly as circumstances admit) to the number of shares or shares of the class held by them respectively, or make any other provisions as to the issue of
the new shares, but in default of any such determination or so far as the same shall not extend, the new shares may be dealt with as if they formed part of the capital of the Company as at the date of the adoption of these Articles as the Articles
of Association of the Company, and shall be subject to the provisions contained in these Articles with reference to the payment of calls and instalments, transfer, transmission, forfeiture, lien and otherwise.

full power to give to any person the option over any share for such time and for such consideration as the Board think fit, but so that no share shall be issued at a discount except as permitted by the Statutes.

agreed to be paid, shall be disclosed in the manner required by the Statutes and shall not exceed 10 per cent. of the price at which the shares in respect whereof the commission is paid are issued or an amount equivalent thereto. The Company (or the
Board on behalf of the Company) may also on any issue of shares pay such brokerage as may be lawful.

equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any share, or any interest in any fractional part of a share, or (except only as by these Articles otherwise expressly provided or as required by law) any other right in respect of any share
except the absolute right of the registered holder to the entirety thereof.

time to time specify in the Listing Rules) after lodgement with the Company of any duly stamped and valid transfer of any of its shares or debentures, complete and have ready for delivery the certificates for the shares or the debentures so allotted
or transferred, unless the conditions of issue of the shares or debentures otherwise provide.

| | (B) | Every certificate for shares or debentures shall be issued under the Seal or under the Securities Seal and, subject as hereinafter provided, shall bear the autographic signatures of
two Directors or of one Director and the Secretary Provided that the Board may by resolution determine that such signatures or either of them shall be dispensed with or shall be affixed by some method or system of mechanical signature.

event the certificates need not be signed or authenticated except as required by the Statutes.

|13.    (A) | Every member shall be entitled to one or several certificates for all his shares of each class upon payment of such fee or fees as the Board shall determine provided that such fee
or fees shall not exceed the maximum fees prescribed by the Stock Exchange from time to time in the Listing Rules. In the case of any share registered in the names of two or more persons the Company shall not be bound to issue more than one
certificate in respect thereof to all the joint holders, and delivery of such certificate to any one of them shall be sufficient delivery to all. Where a member transfers part of the shares to which any certificate relates he shall be entitled to a
certificate for the balance thereof upon payment of a fee not exceeding the maximum fee prescribed by the Stock Exchange from time to time in the Listing Rules. Every certificate shall (subject where permitted by the Statutes to any resolution of
the Board to the contrary) specify the number and class and distinguishing numbers (if any) of the shares to which it relates and the amount paid up thereon and, where the share capital of the Company is divided into different classes of shares,
shall contain such words and/or statement as are required by the Statutes.
|---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stock Exchange from time to time in the Listing Rules.
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|14. | If at any time all the issued shares of the Company, or all the issued shares of a particular class, are fully paid up and rank pari passu for all purposes, none of those shares
shall thereafter (subject to a resolution of the Board to the contrary) have a distinguishing number so long as it remains fully paid up and ranks pari passu for all purposes with all the shares of the same class for the time being issued and fully
paid up.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|15. | If any certificate shall be worn out, destroyed or lost, it may be replaced upon payment of such fee, if any, not exceeding the maximum fees prescribed by the Stock Exchange from
time to time in the Listing Rules together with the amount of any other costs and expenses which the Company has incurred in connection therewith, and on such evidence being produced as the Board shall require, and in the case of wearing out on
delivering up of the old certificate, and in the case of destruction or loss on execution of such indemnity (if any) as the Board shall require.

Company is a going concern or during or in contemplation of a winding-up, with the consent in writing of the holders of three-fourths in nominal value of the issued shares of the class, or with the sanction of a Special Resolution passed at a
separate meeting of holders of the shares of the class. To every such separate meeting all the provisions of these Articles relating to General Meetings of the Company or the proceedings thereat shall mutatis mutandis apply, except that the
necessary quorum shall be two persons at least holding or representing by proxy one-third in nominal value of the issued shares of the class (but so that if at any adjourned meeting of such holders a quorum as above defined is not present one person
holding shares of the class or his proxy shall be a quorum), and that every holder of shares of the class present in person or by proxy shall, on a poll, have one vote in respect of every share of the class held by him and shall be entitled to
demand a poll.
|---------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Calls on Shares



|17. | The Board may from time to time make such calls as the Board may think fit upon the members in respect of the amounts unpaid on their shares (whether on account of the nominal
amount of the shares or by way of premium) and not by the conditions of allotment thereof made payable at fixed times Provided that fourteen clear days notice at least shall be given of each call, and that no call shall exceed one-fourth of
the nominal amount of the share in respect of which it is made, or be payable within one month from the date fixed for payment of the last preceding call.
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|18. | Any call may be made payable either in one sum or by instalments, and each member upon whom a call is made shall be liable to pay the amount of the call to the person and at the
time or times and place appointed by the Board. A call may be revoked or the time fixed for its payment may be postponed by the Board.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|19. | Notice of the persons appointed to receive payment of every call and of the times and places appointed for payment shall be given to members by notice to be inserted once in the
Gazette and in one of the local newspapers of Hong Kong.

provided.

|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|22. | Joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable for the payment of all calls in respect thereof.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|23. | The Board may make arrangements on the issue of shares for a difference between the allottees or holders of such shares in the amount of calls to be paid and the time of payment of
such calls.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|24. | Any sum which by the terms of issue of a share is made payable upon allotment or at any fixed date, whether on account of the nominal amount of the share or by way of premium, shall
for all purposes of these Articles, be deemed to be a call duly made and payable on such fixed date, and in case of non- payment all the provisions of these Articles as to payment of interest, forfeiture or otherwise shall apply as if such sum were
a call duly made and notified.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|25. | If a sum called in respect of a share is not paid before or on the day appointed for payment thereof, the person from whom the sum is due shall pay interest on the sum from the day
appointed for payment thereof to the time of actual payment at the rate of 12 per cent. per annum, or at such other rate of interest as the Directors may from time to time determine; the Directors, however, shall be at liberty to waive payment of
such interest wholly or in part.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|26. | The Board may, if they think fit, receive from any member willing to advance the same all or any part of the moneys payable in respect of any shares held by him beyond the amount of
the calls actually made thereon; and upon the moneys so advanced, or so much thereof as shall from time to time exceed the amount of the calls due upon such shares, the Company may pay interest at such rate not exceeding 5 per cent. per annum as the
member and the Board shall agree upon, but no part of such moneys shall be included or taken into account in ascertaining the amount of the dividend payable upon the shares in respect of which such advance has been made.

Forfeiture of Shares



|27. | If any member fails to pay the whole or any part of any call on or before the day appointed for the payment thereof the Board may at any time thereafter during such time as the
call, or any part thereof, remains unpaid, serve a notice on him requiring him to pay such call or such part thereof as remains unpaid, together with any interest which may have accrued and all expenses incurred by the Company as a result of the
non-payment.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|28. | The notice shall name a further day not being less than fourteen clear days from the date of service of the notice on or before which and the place where the payment required by the
notice is to be made, and shall state that, in the event of non-payment at or before the time and at the place appointed, the shares in respect of which such call was made will be liable to be forfeited.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|29. | If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, any share in respect of which such notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before payment of all
calls, interest and expenses due in respect thereof has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Board to that effect. Such forfeiture shall include all distributions attributable to the shares being forfeited and not actually made before the
forfeiture.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|30. | A forfeited share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Board think fit, and at any time before a sale or disposition the
forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Board think fit.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|31. | The Company may receive the consideration, if any, given for the share on any sale, re-allotment or disposition thereof and the Board may authorise some person to execute a transfer
of the share in favour of the person to whom the share is sold or otherwise disposed of and the latter person shall thereupon be registered as the holder of the share and shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase consideration (if
any), nor shall his title to the share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale, re-allotment or other disposal of the share.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|32. | A person whose shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a member in respect of the forfeited shares, but shall, notwithstanding, remain liable to pay to the Company all moneys
which, at the date of forfeiture, were payable by him to the Company in respect of the shares, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all such moneys in respect of the shares.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|33. | A statutory declaration in writing that the declarant is a Director or the Secretary of the Company, and that a share in the Company has been duly forfeited on a date stated in the
declaration, shall be conclusive evidence of the facts therein stated as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the share.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Lien



|34. | The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on every share (not being a fully paid share) for all moneys, whether immediately payable or not, called or payable at a fixed time
in respect of such share. The Company shall also have a first and paramount lien on every share (not being a fully paid share) standing registered in the name of a member, whether singly or jointly with any other person or persons, for all the debts
and liabilities of such member or his estate to the Company, and whether the same shall have been incurred before or after notice to the Company of any equitable or other interest in any person other than such member and whether the time for the
payment or discharge of the same shall have actually arrived or not, and notwithstanding that the same are joint debts or liabilities of such member or his estate and any other person, whether a member of the Company or not. The Companys lien
(if any) on a share shall extend to all distributions of money and other assets attributable to it. The Board may resolve that any share shall for some specified period be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article. Unless
otherwise agreed, the registration of a transfer of any share shall operate as a waiver of the Companys lien (if any) on such share.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|35. | The Company may sell, in such manner as the Board think fit, any share on which the Company has a lien, but no sale shall be made unless and until a sum in respect of which the lien
exists is immediately payable, nor until the expiration of fourteen clear days after a notice in writing, stating and demanding payment of such sum, and giving notice of intention to sell in default, has been given to the holder for the time being
of the share or to the person entitled to the share by reason of his death or bankruptcy.

|36. | The net proceeds of such sale, after payment of the costs of such sale, shall be applied in or towards payment or satisfaction of any sum immediately payable in respect whereof the
lien exists, and any residue shall (subject to a like lien for such debts or liabilities in respect of moneys not immediately payable as existed on the share prior to the sale) be paid to the person entitled to the share immediately prior to the
sale. For giving effect to any such sale the Board may authorise some person to transfer the share sold to the purchaser thereof. The purchaser shall be registered as the holder of the share so transferred and shall not be bound to see to the
application of the purchase consideration, nor shall his title to the share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the sale.

Transfer of Shares



|37. | Shares in the Company shall be transferred by instrument of transfer in any usual or common form, or in such other form as shall be approved by the Board. The instrument of transfer
of a share (which need not be under seal) shall be executed by or on behalf of the transferor and the transferee in such manner and/or by such means as the Board may from time to time (whether generally or in any particular case) approve, and the
transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of the share until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register in respect thereof.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|38. | The Board may in their discretion, and without assigning any reason therefor, decline to register any transfer of any share, which is not fully paid up.
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|39. | (A)   The Board may also decline to recognise any instrument of transfer unless:-
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (i) | the instrument of transfer duly stamped is deposited at the Office or such other place as the Board may appoint, accompanied by the certificate of the shares to which it relates,
and such other evidence as the Board may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer;
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of shares; and
| | ---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iii) | the instrument of transfer is in favour of not more than four joint holders.
| | ----- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (B) | If the Board decline to register a transfer of any share, they shall, within two months after the date on which the transfer was lodged with the Company, send to the transferor and
the transferee notice of the refusal.
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stock



|48. | The Company may from time to time by Ordinary Resolution convert any paid up shares into stock, and reconvert any stock into paid up shares of any denomination. If and whenever any

|50. | The stock shall confer on the holders thereof respectively the same privileges and advantages as regards dividends, participation in assets on a winding up, voting at meetings of
the Company, and other matters as would have been conferred by the shares from which the stock arose, but so that none of such privileges or advantages ( except participation in dividends and profits of the Company and in assets on a winding up )
shall be conferred by an amount of the stock which would not, if existing in shares, have conferred such privileges or advantages.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

consolidated share or shares, such fractions may be sold by some person appointed by the Board for that purpose and the person so appointed shall stand authorised to transfer the shares so sold to the purchaser thereof and the validity of such
transfer shall not be questioned. The net proceeds of such sale shall be distributed among the members who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction or fractions of a consolidated share or shares rateably in accordance with their rights and
interests;

| | (B) | sub-divide its shares or any of them into shares of a smaller amount than is fixed by the Memorandum of Association (subject nevertheless to the Statutes) and so that the resolution
whereby any share is sub-divided may determine that, as between the holders of the shares resulting from such sub-division, one or more of such shares may have such preferred, deferred or other special rights or be subject to any such restrictions,
compared with the other share or shares, as the Company has power to attach to new shares; or
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (C) | cancel any shares which at the date of the passing of the resolution have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount of its share capital by the

poll.

authorised, the authorisation must specify the number and class of shares in respect of which each such person is so authorised. The person so authorised will be entitled to exercise the same power on behalf of the recognised clearing house as that
clearing house (or its nominees) could exercise if it were an individual member of the Company.

otherwise or to exercise any other right conferred by membership in relation to meetings of the Company if any call or other sum presently payable by him to the Company in respect of such shares remains unpaid.

its common seal or under the hand of some officer of the corporation duly authorised in that behalf. In the case of an instrument of proxy purporting to be signed on behalf of a corporation by an officer thereof it shall be assumed, unless the
contrary appears, that such officer was duly authorised to sign such instrument of proxy on behalf of the corporation without further evidence of the fact.

|85. | Instruments of proxy shall be in any common form or in such other form as the Board may approve. The instrument of proxy, which need not be witnessed, shall be deemed to confer

|88. | A vote given or poll demanded by proxy or by the duly authorised representative of a corporation shall be valid notwithstanding the previous death or insanity of the principal or

issue of debentures or other securities of the Company) such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves which shall, at the discretion of the Board, be applicable for any purpose to which the profits of the Company may be properly applied,
and pending such application may, at the like discretion, either be employed in the business of the Company or be invested in such investments (other than shares of the Company, or of its holding company, if any) as the Board may from time to time
think fit. The Board may also without placing the same to reserve carry forward any profits which they may think prudent not to distribute.
|---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Dividends

|131. (1) | In respect of any dividend declared or sanctioned by the Board or proposed to be declared or sanctioned by the Company in General Meeting the Board may determine and announce, prior

| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | the right of election accorded to members as aforesaid may be exercised in whole or in part; and

reserve fund) or to the credit of the profit and loss account or any sum otherwise available for distribution and not required for paying the fixed dividends on any shares entitled to fixed preferential dividends with or without further
participation in profits as the Board may determine a sum equal to the aggregate nominal amount of the shares to be allotted on such basis and apply the same in paying up in full the appropriate number of unissued shares for allotment and
distribution to and amongst the holders of the elected shares on such basis; or
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | that members will receive in lieu of such dividend (or such part thereof as the Board may think fit) an allotment of shares credited as fully paid provided that members are at the

standing to the credit of any of the Companys reserve accounts (including, subject to Article 140 of these Articles, any sum standing to the credit of the share premium account or capital redemption reserve fund) or to the credit of the profit
and loss account or any sum otherwise available for distribution and not required for paying the fixed dividends on any shares entitled to fixed preferential dividends with or without further participation in profits as the Board may determine a sum
equal to the aggregate nominal amount of shares to be allotted on such basis and apply the same in paying up in full the appropriate number of unissued shares for allotment and distribution to and amongst the holders of the non-elected shares on
such basis.
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (2) | The shares allotted pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1) above shall rank pari passu in all respects with the fully paid shares then in issue save only as regards
participation in the relevant dividend (or share or cash election in lieu).
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (3) | The Board may do all acts and things considered necessary or expedient to give effect to any capitalisation pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1) above, with full power to the
Board to make such provisions as they think fit in the case of shares becoming distributable in fractions (including provisions whereby, in whole or in part, fractional entitlements are aggregated and sold and the net proceeds distributed to those
entitled, or are disregarded or rounded up or down or whereby the benefit of fractional entitlements accrues to the Company rather than to the members concerned). The Board may authorise any person to enter into, on behalf of all members interested,
an agreement with the Company providing for such capitalisation and matters incidental thereto and any agreement made pursuant to such authority shall be effective and binding on all concerned.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

be made available or made to any members with registered addresses in any territory where in the absence of a registration statement or other special formalities the circulation of an offer of such rights of election or the allotment of shares would
or might be unlawful, and in such event the provisions aforesaid shall be read and construed subject to such determination.

|---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|133. | Subject to the rights of persons (if any) entitled to shares with special rights as to dividend, all dividends shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid up on the
shares in respect whereof the dividend is paid, but no amount paid up on a share in advance of calls shall be treated for the purposes of this Article as paid up on the share. All dividends shall be apportioned and paid pro rata according to the
amounts paid up on the shares during any portion or portions of the period in respect of which the dividend is paid except that if any share is issued on terms providing that it shall rank for dividend as if paid up (in whole or in part) as from a
particular date such share shall rank for dividend accordingly.
|---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|134. | The Board may if they think fit from time to time pay to the members such interim dividends as appear to the Board to be justified by the profits of the Company. If at any time the
share capital of the Company is divided into different classes the Board may pay such interim dividends in respect of those shares in the capital of the Company which confer on the holders thereof deferred or non-preferential rights as well as in
respect of those shares which confer on the holders thereof preferential rights with regard to dividend, and provided that the Board act bona fide they shall not incur any responsibility to the holders of shares conferring any preference for any
damage they may suffer by reason of the payment of any interim dividend on any shares having deferred or non-preferential rights. The Board may also pay half-yearly or at other suitable intervals to be settled by them any dividend payable at a fixed
rate if they are of the opinion that the profits justify the payment.
|---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|135. | The Board may deduct from any dividend or other moneys payable to any member on or in respect of a share all sums of money (if any) immediately payable by him to the Company on
account of calls or otherwise in relation to the shares of the Company held by him.
|---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|136. | All dividends unclaimed for one year after having been declared may be invested or otherwise made use of by the Board for the benefit of the Company until claimed. If any dividend
shall have remained unclaimed for at least six years after the same becomes payable the Board may forfeit the same. After such forfeiture no member or other person shall have any right to or claim in respect of such dividend but the Board may
nevertheless in its absolute discretion make an ex gratia payment equal to the whole or part of such dividend to the member or other person who could have claimed that dividend immediately before it was forfeited. No dividend shall bear interest
against the Company.
|---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|137. | Any one of two or more joint holders may give effectual receipts for any dividends or other moneys payable or property distributable in respect of the shares held by such joint
holders.
|---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|138. | Any dividend, interest or other sum payable in cash to the holder of shares may be paid by cheque or warrant sent through the post addressed to the holder at his registered address
or, in the case of joint holders, addressed to the holder whose name stands first in the Register in respect of the shares at his registered address as appearing in the Register, or addressed to such person and at such address as the holder or all
of the joint holders may in writing direct. Every such cheque or warrant shall, unless the holder or all of the joint holders otherwise direct, be made payable to the order of the holder or, in the case of joint holders, to the order of all of the
joint holders, and shall be sent at his or their risk and payment of the cheque or warrant by the bank on which it is drawn shall constitute a good discharge to the Company. Subject to the consent of the Company, any dividend, interest or other sum
payable in cash to the holder of shares may be paid, at the risk of the holder, by direct bank transfer or in such other manner as the holder or, in the case of joint holders, all of the joint holders may in writing request and compliance with such
a request shall constitute a good discharge to the Company.
|---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|139. | Any General Meeting declaring a dividend may direct payment of such dividend wholly or in part by the distribution of specific assets, and in particular of paid up shares or
debentures of any other company, or in any one or more of such ways, and the Board shall give effect to such resolution, and where any difficulty arises in regard to the distribution they may settle the same as they think expedient, and in
particular may issue fractional certificates and may fix the value for distribution of such specific assets or any part thereof and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any members upon the footing of the value so fixed in order to
adjust the rights of all parties, and may vest any such specific assets in trustees upon such trusts for the persons entitled to the dividend as may seem expedient to the Board and may appoint any person to sign any instruments of transfer and any
other documents deemed to be expedient by the Board on behalf of the persons entitled to the dividend and such appointment shall be effective.

available for distribution and not required for paying the fixed dividends on any shares entitled to fixed preferential dividends with or without further participation in profits and that the Board be accordingly authorised and directed to
appropriate the profits or sum so resolved to be capitalised as capital to the members in the proportion in which such profits or sum would have been divisible amongst them had the same been applied or been applicable in paying dividends on the
shares held by them on such date as shall be fixed by or in accordance with such resolution, and to apply such profits or sum on their behalf, either in or towards paying up the amounts, if any, for the time being unpaid on any shares or debentures
held by such members respectively, or in the paying up in full of unissued shares or debentures of the Company of a nominal amount equal to such profits or sum, such shares or debentures to be allotted and distributed, credited as fully paid up, to

thereby, and all allotments and issues of fully paid shares or debentures, if any, and generally shall do all acts and things required to give effect thereto with full power to the Board to make such provision by the issue of fractional certificates
or by payment in cash or otherwise as they think fit for the case of shares or debentures becoming distributable in fractions and also to authorise any person to enter on behalf of all members entitled thereto into an agreement with the Company
providing for the allotment to them respectively, credited as fully paid up, of any shares to which they may be entitled as the result of such capitalisation, and any agreement made under such authority shall be effective and binding upon all such
members.
