Regulations Governing Securities Investment Trust Fund Beneficiaries Meetings Article 9

When a beneficiaries meeting is to be attended by beneficiaries in person, a beneficiary may exercise voting rights by attending in person or by electronic transmission, in accordance with the methods specified in the beneficiaries meeting notice. A beneficiary may also authorize a proxy agent to attend the beneficiaries meeting by issuing a proxy card printed and distributed by the beneficiary meeting convener. The proxy card shall bear a signature or seal of the beneficiary that matches the original retained specimen, as well as a signature or seal of the proxy agent, shall record the scope of proxy, and shall be accompanied by a photocopy of the proxy agent's national identification card.If a beneficiary who has exercised voting rights by means of electronic transmission subsequently wishes to exercise the voting rights by attending the beneficiaries meeting in person, the beneficiary shall, two days prior to the scheduled date of the beneficiaries meeting, use electronic transmission to rescind the beneficiary's previous declaration of intention. In the absence of a timely rescission of the previous declaration of intention, the voting rights exercised by means of electronic transmission shall prevail.Each person who authorizes a proxy agent pursuant to paragraph 1 to attend a beneficiaries meeting is limited to issuing a single proxy card to a single proxy agent. Five days prior to the convening of the beneficiaries meeting, the proxy card shall be delivered to a location designated by the convener. When two or more proxy cards are delivered, the one received earlier shall prevail. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this provision shall not apply if a declaration is made to void the earlier proxy card.After the delivery of the power of attorney of a proxy to the designated location, if the beneficial owner who issued the proxy subsequently wishes to exercise the voting rights by attending the beneficiaries meeting in person or by means of electronic transmission, the beneficiary shall give a proxy rescission notice to the convener of the beneficiaries meeting in writing by two days prior to the scheduled date of the beneficiaries meeting. In the absence of a timely rescission of the proxy, the voting rights exercised by the authorized proxy at the meeting shall prevail.If a beneficiary has exercised voting rights via electronic transmission, and has also authorized a proxy to attend the beneficiaries meeting on the beneficiary's behalf, then the voting rights exercised by the attending authorized proxy for the beneficiary shall prevail.
