ARRANGEMENTS

1、CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS

“Corporate Communications” refer to any document(s) issued or to be issued by COUNTRY GARDEN for the information or action of holders of any of its securities or the investing public, including but not limited to, (i) the directors’ report and its annual accounts together with a copy of the auditors’ report and, where applicable, its summary financial report; (ii) the interim report and, where applicable, its summary interim report; (iii) a notice of meeting; (iv) a listing document; (v) a circular; and (vi) a proxy form.

Both the English and Chinese versions of the Corporate Communications of COUNTRY GARDEN will be available on the website of COUNTRY GARDEN (www.countrygarden.com.cn) and the Stock Exchange's website (www.hkexnews.hk) (the “Website Version”).

A notice of publication of the Website Version of Corporate Communications, in both English and Chinese, will be sent by COUNTRY GARDEN to Shareholders by email or by post (only if COUNTRY GARDEN does not possess a functional email address of a Shareholder) on the publication date of the Corporate Communications. 

2、ACTIONABLE CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS

“Actionable Corporate Communications” refer to any Corporate Communications that seek instructions from the Shareholders on how they wish to exercise their rights or make elections as the Shareholders. For the avoidance of doubt, Actionable Corporate Communications do not include notices of general meetings and proxy forms.

COUNTRY GARDEN will send the Actionable Corporate Communications to Shareholders individually in electronic form by email. If COUNTRY GARDEN does not possess an email address of a Shareholder or the email address provided is not functional, COUNTRY GARDEN will send the Actionable Corporate Communications 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.  

It is the responsibility of a Shareholder to provide an email address that is functional. If COUNTRY GARDEN does not possess an email address of a Shareholder or the email address provided is not functional, COUNTRY GARDEN will act according to the above arrangements. COUNTRY GARDEN 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”.
