For registered shareholder(s) of H shares the Bank

 

To ensure timely receipt of the Actionable Corporate Communications (namely any corporate communication that seeks instructions from the shareholders of H shares on how they wish to exercise their rights or make an election as the Bank’s shareholders but not included the notice and proxy form of the shareholder meeting), the Bank recommends registered shareholder(s) to provide email address to the Bank’s H share registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited (“H share registrar”, the address of which is 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong) by scanning the personalized QR code printed on the letter to registered shareholders and reply form. Alternatively, registered shareholder(s) may complete, sign and return the reply form to the H share registrar.

 

If the Bank does not receive a functional email address in reply, until such time that the functional email address is provided to the H share registrar, the Bank will send the Actionable Corporate Communications to registered shareholder(s) in printed form in the future.

 

If registered shareholder(s) wish to receive the corporate communications in printed form, please complete, sign and return the letter to registered shareholders and reply form to the H share registrar, or send an email to cmbc.ecom@computershare.com.hk, specifying name, address and request to receive the corporate communications in printed form. Please note that such instruction shall be valid for one year unless being revoked or superseded (whichever is earlier) starting from the receipt date of the instruction of registered shareholder(s) and will expire thereafter.
