DISSEMINATION OF CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS BY ELECTRONIC MEANS

Pursuant to the new Rule 2.07A of the Rules (the “Listing Rules”) Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited with effect from 31 December 2023 and the Company’s articles of association, the Company will send Corporate Communications and Actionable Corporate Communications (Note) (in both English and Chinese) to holders of any of its securities (the “Shareholder(s)”) by electronic means through the Company’s website at www.texhong.com and the “HKEXnews” website and only send Corporate Communications in printed form to the Shareholders upon request.

In this connection, the following arrangements will come into effect on 31 December 2023.

Arrangements for electronic dissemination

Pursuant to the Rules Governing the Listing Rules and the Company's articles of association, the Company will supply Corporate Communications to Shareholders by electronic means through the Company's website at www.texhong.com ("Electronic Version") and the “HKEXnews” website, provided that such Shareholder has consented to receive the Electronic Version.

The English and Chinese versions of all Corporate Communications are available on the Company’s website at www.texhong.com and the “HKEXnews” website.

A notification of the publication of the Corporate Communications on the Company's website (the “Notice of Availability”) will be sent to Shareholders who elect to receive or are deemed to have elected the Electronic Version by email, or by post (only if the Company does not possess the functional email address of a Shareholder) on the publication date of the Corporate Communications. It is the responsibility of the Shareholders to provide a functional email address, and they should provide his/her email address to the Company for receiving the Notice of Availability. If the Company does not possess the email address of a Shareholder or the email address provided is not functional, such Shareholder will be deemed, until such time when such Shareholder has provided a valid and functional email address to the Company’s Hong Kong share registrar as detailed in below, to have elected to receive the Notice of Availability by post.

With regards to Actionable Corporate Communications, the Company will send the Actionable Corporate Communications to the Shareholders individually in electronic form by email. If the Company does not possess the email address of a Shareholder or the email address provided is not functional, the Company will send the Actionable Corporate Communication in printed form together with a request form for soliciting the Shareholder’s functional email address to facilitate electronic dissemination of Actionable Corporate Communications in the future, until such time when the Shareholder has provided a valid and functional email address to the Company’s branch share registrar for receiving the same.

For Shareholders who elect to receive or are deemed to have elected to receive the Electronic Version but for any reason has difficulty in accessing the relevant Corporate Communication(s) electronically, or wish to receive printed copies, the Company will promptly upon their request send the printed version to them free of charge upon written request in the manner according to the section titled “Request for printed copies of Corporate Communications and Actionable Corporate Communications” below.

Provision of Shareholder’s email address to the Company

In order for Shareholders to receive by email (1) the Notice of Availability of the Electronic Version as and when they are published (where applicable); and (2) all future Actionable Corporate Communications in electronic form from the Company, the Company strongly recommends the Shareholders to provide their valid and functional email address by notifying the Company at main@texhong.com or in writing to the Company’s Hong Kong share registrar, Boardroom Share Registrars (HK) Limited (Address: 2103B, 21st Floor, 148 Electric Road, North Point, Hong Kong) by using the Company’s reply form which can be downloaded here. 

It is the responsibility of the Shareholders to provide a functional email address, and they should provide their email address to the company for receiving the Notice of Availability. If the Company does not possess the email address of a Shareholder or the email address provided is not functional, the Company will act according to the above arrangements.  The Company will be considered to have complied with the Listing Rules if it sends Actionable Corporate Communications to the email address provided by a Shareholder without receiving any “non-delivery message”.
