The Company agrees to timely notify the Depositary of any proposed shareholders' meeting and to provide to the Depositary in New York, at least 24 calendar days before any shareholders' meeting, sufficient copies as the Depositary may reasonably request of English language translations of the Company's notice of shareholders' meeting and the agenda of the materials to be voted on (in the form the Company generally makes available to holders of Shares in the Republic of China) (such materials collectively, the "Shareholder Notice"). As soon as practicable after receipt by the Depositary of the requisite number of Shareholder Notices, the Depositary shall establish the ADS Record Date (upon the terms of Section 4.9 hereof) and shall, at the Company's expense and, provided no U.S. legal prohibitions exist, distribute to Holders as of the applicable ADS Record Date, (i) the Shareholder Notice, (ii) a Depositary notice setting forth the manner in which Holders of ADSs may instruct the Depositary to cause the Deposited Securities represented by their ADSs to be voted under the terms of this Deposit Agreement including, a description of the Management Authorization (as defined below), together with a form of voting instructions and/or other means to provide voting instructions (the Depositary notice and the related materials prepared by the Depositary collectively, the "Depositary Notice"). The Depositary is under no obligation to distribute the Shareholder Notice or the Depositary Notice to Holders if the Company has failed to provide to the Depositary in New York the requisite number of Shareholder Notices at least 24 calendar days prior to the date of any shareholders' meeting. If the Depositary has not delivered the Shareholder Notice or the Depositary Notice to Holders, it will endeavor to cause all Deposited Securities represented by ADSs to be present at the relevant shareholders' meeting insofar as practicable and permitted under applicable law but will not cause the Deposited Securities to be voted; provided, however, that the Depositary may determine, at its discretion, to distribute such Shareholder Notice or Depositary Notice to the Holders and/or cause the Shares or other Deposited Securities to be voted as it deems appropriate. There can be no assurance that Holders generally or any Holder in particular will receive Shareholder Notices or Depositary Notices with sufficient time to enable the return of voting instructions to the Depositary in a timely manner. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Deposit Agreement or any ADR, the Depositary may, to the extent not prohibited by law or regulations, or by the requirements of the stock exchange on which the ADSs are listed, in lieu of distribution of the materials provided to the Depositary in connection with any meeting of, or solicitation of consents or proxies from, holders of Deposited Securities, distribute to the Holders a notice that provides Holders with, or otherwise publicizes to Holders, instructions on how to retrieve such materials or receive such materials upon request (i.e., by reference to a website containing the materials for retrieval or a contact for requesting copies of the materials).
