Preconditions for attending the General Meeting and for exercising voting rights

by absentee vote) whose names are entered in the Company’s share register after close of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on 27
May 2020 (Record Date) and whose registration for the General Meeting is received by the Company during the registration period
until 02 June 2020, 18:00 (CEST) at the following address

Shareholders are advised that they may freely dispose of their shares even after registration to the General Meeting. The
only criterion for participating in the General Meeting and the number of voting rights to be exercised in relation to the
Company is the number of shares held by a shareholder as of the Record Date, i.e. any disposal or other transfer of shares
after the Record Date will not have any effect on a shareholder’s rights to participate in the meeting or the number of voting
rights to be exercised. The same will apply to any acquisition of shares after the Record Date. A person who does not hold
any shares on the Record Date and becomes a shareholder only after that date will not have a right to either vote at, or participate
in the General Meeting.
III. |
Voting through a proxy or by absentee vote
|
1. Voting through a proxy
Shareholders may also have their voting rights and other rights exercised at the General Meeting by an authorised party after
issuing a corresponding proxy. In the case of a proxy, timely registration of the holding of shares concerned is always necessary
pursuant to the above rules under II.
The Company also offers its shareholders the option of authorising proxies named by the Company. These proxies shall exercise
voting rights as instructed in the event of their authorisation and are not authorised to exercise voting rights without a
specific instruction from the shareholder. Nor do proxies named by the Company accept instructions to speak, to raise objections
to AGM resolutions, to ask questions or to table motions.
Any issuance of a proxy, its revocation and evidence thereof in dealings with the Company must be in writing. If a shareholder
authorises more than one proxy, the Company may reject one or more. Shareholders may also use the registration form for the
General Meeting to issue proxies and instructions. This form is sent to the shareholders duly entered in the share register,
along with the invitation to the General Meeting. The form will also be available for download on the Company’s website at
https://smart-home.haier.com/investor_relations_en/ggyxw/
Shareholders are asked to use this form as far as possible to grant proxies and to issue instructions.
Any authorisations, evidence of proxies and the issuance of instructions to the proxies named by the Company may be posted,
faxed or e-mailed prior to the General Meeting to the above address under II. by 02 June 2020, 18:00 (CEST) (arriving). Any
posted, faxed or e-mailed authorisations, evidence of proxies and instructions to the proxies named by the Company received
after this time cannot be considered. Evidence of authorisations can still be submitted in writing on the day of the General
Meeting at the entrance and exit check point.
2. Voting by absentee vote
Shareholders may also exercise their voting rights at the General Meeting by absentee vote. In the case of absentee voting,
too, timely registration of the holding of shares concerned is always necessary under the provisions of II. above.
Absentee votes may be sent to the Company by 02 June 2020, 18:00 (CEST) (arriving) to the address mentioned above under II.
Shareholders may use the registration form for the General Meeting for absentee voting as well. This form is sent to the shareholders
duly entered in the share register, along with the invitation to the General Meeting. The form will also be available for
download on the Company’s website at
https://smart-home.haier.com/investor_relations_en/ggyxw/
Shareholders are asked to use this form for absentee voting wherever possible. Absentee voting does not preclude attendance
at the General Meeting. The personal attendance of a shareholder or an authorised third party at the General Meeting shall
be deemed to be a revocation of a previously given absentee vote.
