- to demand for poll voting on any resolution at general meetings in manner prescribed in the Constitution of the Company;
- to receive audited financial statements together with notice of annual general meeting;

The beneficial owners should liaise with their respective nominee to provide them with the necessary information.
For member who is an exempt authorised nominee, may appoint multiple proxies for each omnibus account held.
