APPENDIX A
3. The Applicant irrevocably agrees and undertakes to subscribe for and to accept such number
of New Shares that may be allotted to him in respect of his Electronic Application which shall
be not more than the number of New Shares applied for as stated on the Transaction Record
or on the Confirmation Record. In the event that we decide to allot any lesser number of such
New Shares or not to allot any New Shares to the Applicant, the Applicant agrees to accept the
decision as final. If the Applicant’s Electronic Application is successful, his confirmation (by his
action of pressing the “Enter” or “OK” or “Confirm” or “Yes” key on the ATM, or clicking “Confirm”
or “I Agree” on the Internet screen) of the number of New Shares applied for shall signify and
shall be treated as his acceptance of the number of New Shares that may be allotted to him
and his agreement to be bound by the Memorandum and Articles of Association of our Company.
4. The Applicant irrevocably requests and authorises us to:-
(a) register the New Shares allotted to him in the name of CDP for deposit into his Securities
Account; and
(b) send the relevant Share certificate(s) to CDP.
5. BY MAKING AN ELECTRONIC APPLICATION, THE APPLICANT CONFIRMS THAT HE IS
NOT APPLYING FOR THE NEW SHARES AS NOMINEE OF ANY OTHER PERSON AND
THAT ANY ELECTRONIC APPLICATION THAT HE MAKES IS THE ONLY APPLICATION
MADE BY HIM AS BENEFICIAL OWNER.
MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS ARE NOT ALLOWED.
6. The Applicant irrevocably agrees and acknowledges that his Electronic Application is subject to
risks of electrical, electronic, technical and computer-related faults and breakdowns, fires, acts
of God and other events beyond the control of the Participating Banks, the Internet Banks, the
Internet Stockbrokers, our Company and the Manager and if, in any such event, the Participating
Banks and/or the Internet Banks and/or the Internet Stockbrokers and/or we and/or the Manager
do not record or receive the Applicant’s Electronic Application, or data relating to the Applicant’s
Electronic Application or the tape containing such data is lost, corrupted, destroyed or not
otherwise accessible, whether wholly or partially for whatever reason, the Applicant shall be
deemed not to have made an Electronic Application and the Applicant shall have no claim
whatsoever against the Participating Banks, the Internet Banks, the Internet Stockbrokers, our
Company or the Manager for the New Shares applied for or for any compensation, loss or
damage.
7. An Applicant for New Shares under the Internet Offer Tranche must choose his preferred
Internet Bank or Internet Stockbroker in order to complete his application. As the Internet
IPO gateway of an Internet Bank or Internet Stockbroker may close before 8.00 a.m. on 1
June 2000, an Applicant is requested to liaise with his preferred Internet Bank or Internet
Stockbroker on the last date and time the Internet Bank or Internet Stockbroker is
accepting application through the Internet IPO gateway.
Subject to the preceding paragraph, Electronic Applications shall close at 8.00 a.m. on 1 June
2000 or such other time as the Directors may in their absolute discretion decide. An Electronic
Application is deemed to be received when it enters the designated information system of the
Participating Banks, the Internet Banks or the Internet Stockbrokers, as the case may be.
8. All particulars of the Applicant in the records of our IPO website, and his relevant Participating
Bank, Internet Bank, or Internet Stockbroker, as the case may be, at the time he makes his
Electronic Application shall be deemed to be true and correct and we, the relevant Participating
Bank, Internet Bank, Internet Stockbroker and the Relevant Parties shall be entitled to rely on
the accuracy thereof. If there has been any change in the particulars of the Applicant after the
time of the making of his Electronic Application, the Applicant shall promptly notify us and his
relevant Participating Bank, Internet Bank or Internet Stockbroker, as the case may be.
