若干額外條文的摘要
押金協議的
(14)現金、股份等的股息和分派。每當託管人確認收到任何現金紅利或任何存款證券的其他現金分派,或收到根據《存款協議》出售任何股份、權利證券或其他權利的收益時,託管人將:(I)如果在收到時,根據託管人的判斷(根據《存款協議》的條款),任何以外幣形式收到的金額都可以 兑換成可轉移到美國的美元,迅速將該等股息、分派或收益轉換為美元(根據 存託協議的條款),(Ii)如適用,根據第4.9節所述的條款建立美國存托股份備案日期,以及(Iii)迅速 將收到的金額(扣除 存託協議規定的託管人適用的費用和支出以及(B)預扣的税款)分配給截至美國存托股份備案日期有權享有的持有人,比例與截至美國存托股份備案日期時持有的美國存托股份賬户數量的比例。然而,託管人只能分配可以分配的金額,而不會將1美分的零頭分配給任何持有人,任何未如此分配的餘額應由託管人持有(不承擔利息責任),並應添加到託管人收到的下一筆款項中,併成為其一部分,分配給當時未償還的美國存託憑證持有人。 如果公司、託管人或託管人被要求扣留並從任何已存款證券的任何現金股息或其他現金分配中扣留一筆金額 ,在代表該等存款證券的美國存託憑證上分配給 持有人的金額應相應減少。扣留的金額應由公司、託管人或託管人轉交給有關政府當局。
如任何存放證券的任何分派包括股份股息或免費分派,本公司應或安排將該等股份存放於託管人 ,並以託管人、託管人或其各自代名人的名義登記(視屬何情況而定)。在收到託管人對此類存款的確認後,託管人應根據《託管協議》建立美國存托股份記錄 日期,且(I)託管機構應於美國存托股份備案日按持有的美國存託憑證數量的比例向持有人分發額外的美國存託憑證,代表作為此類股息收到的股份總數的額外美國存託憑證,或免費分配, 受《存託協議》條款的約束(包括但不限於(A)適用的費用和收費以及發生的費用),(Ii)如未有額外的美國存託憑證派發,則在法律許可的範圍內,美國存托股份記錄日期後發行而尚未發行的每股美國存托股份股份亦應代表就其所代表的託管證券而分派的額外整數數目股份的權利及權益(扣除託管協議所規定的適用費用及 收費及由此產生的開支後的淨額)。為代替交付零碎的美國存託憑證,託管機構應按該等零碎股份或美國存託憑證的總數出售股份或美國存託憑證(視情況而定),並按存款協議所載條款分配所得款項淨額。
A-11 |
如果託管人確定 財產(包括股份)的任何分配需要繳納託管人有義務扣繳的任何税收或其他政府費用,或者如果公司在履行《存款協議》下的義務時提供了 美國律師的意見,確定股票必須根據證券法或其他法律登記才能分發給持有人(並且 沒有宣佈此類登記聲明有效),託管人可按託管人認為必要及可行的金額及方式(包括公開或私下出售)處置全部或部分該等財產(包括股份及認購權),而託管人須將任何該等出售所得款項(扣除(A)税 及(B)費用及收費及託管人所發生的開支)分配予根據《託管協議》條款有權享有的持有人。 託管人應根據《託管協議》的規定持有及/或分配該等財產的任何未售出餘額。
Upon timely receipt of a notice indicating that the Company wishes an elective distribution to be made available to Holders upon the terms described in the Deposit Agreement, the Company and the Depositary shall determine whether such distribution is lawful and reasonably practicable. If so, the Depositary shall, to the extent permitted by law and subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement, distribute either (x) cash as in the case of a cash distribution or (y) additional ADSs representing such additional Shares as in the case of a distribution of Shares. In either case, the Depositary shall, subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement, establish and ADS record date according to paragraph (16) and establish procedures to enable the Holder hereof to elect to receive the proposed distribution in cash or in additional ADSs. If a Holder elects to receive the distribution in cash, the dividend shall be distributed as in the case of a distribution in cash. If the Holder hereof elects to receive the distribution in additional ADSs, the distribution shall be distributed as in the case of a distribution in Shares. Nothing herein or in the Deposit Agreement shall obligate the Depositary to make available to the Holder hereof a method to receive the elective distribution in Shares (rather than ADSs). There can be no assurance that the Holder hereof will be given the opportunity to receive elective distributions on the same terms and conditions as the holders of Shares.
A-12 |
Upon timely receipt by the Depositary of a notice indicating that the Company wishes rights to subscribe for additional Shares to be made available to Holders of ADSs, the Depositary upon consultation with the Company, shall determine, whether it is lawful and reasonably practicable to make such rights available to the Holders. The Depositary shall make such rights available to any Holders only if (i) the Company shall have requested that such rights be made available to Holders, (ii) the Depositary shall have received the documentation contemplated in the Deposit Agreement, and (iii) the Depositary shall have determined, in consultation with the Company, that such distribution of rights is reasonably practicable. If such conditions are not satisfied, the Depositary shall sell the rights as described below. In the event all conditions set forth above are satisfied, the Depositary shall establish an ADS Record Date (upon the terms described in the Deposit Agreement) and establish procedures (x) to distribute rights to purchase additional ADSs (by means of warrants or otherwise), (y) to enable the Holders to exercise the rights (upon payment of the subscription price and of the applicable (a) fees and charges of, and expenses incurred by, the Depositary as provided in the Deposit Agreement and (b) taxes), and (z) to deliver ADSs upon the valid exercise of such rights. Nothing herein or in the Deposit Agreement shall obligate the Depositary to make available to the Holders a method to exercise rights to subscribe for Shares (rather than ADSs). If (i) the Company does not request the Depositary to make the rights available to Holders or if the Company requests that the rights not be made available to Holders, (ii) the Depositary fails to receive the documentation required by the Deposit Agreement or determines in consultation with the Company, that it is not reasonably practicable to make the rights available to Holders, or (iii) any rights made available are not exercised and appear to be about to lapse, the Depositary shall determine whether it is lawful and reasonably practicable to sell such rights, in a riskless principal capacity, at such place and upon such terms (including public or private sale) as it may deem proper. The Depositary shall, upon such sale, convert and distribute proceeds of such sale (net of applicable fees and charges of, and expenses incurred by, the Depositary and taxes) upon the terms hereof and of the Deposit Agreement. If the Depositary is unable to make any rights available to Holders or to arrange for the sale of the rights upon the terms described above, the Depositary shall allow such rights to lapse. The Depositary shall not be responsible for (i) any failure to determine that it may be practicable to make such rights available to Holders in general or any Holders in particular, (ii) any foreign exchange exposure or loss incurred in connection with such sale or exercise, or (iii) the content of any materials forwarded to the ADR Holders on behalf of the Company in connection with the rights distribution.
儘管本協議或保證金協議中有任何相反規定,但如果需要註冊(根據證券法或任何其他適用法律)與權利有關的權利或證券,公司才能向持有人提供該權利或證券,並出售該權利代表的證券。託管人不會將該等權利分配給持有人:(I)除非及直至涵蓋該項發售的《證券法》(或其他適用法律)下的登記聲明生效,或(Ii)除非本公司提供本公司在美國的律師及本公司在任何其他適用國家的律師的保管意見(S) ,而在該等國家/地區內的權利將獲分配給託管人, 大意是,向持有人及實益擁有人發售及出售該等證券可獲豁免,或不需要根據,證券法或任何其他適用法律的規定。如果公司、託管人或託管人因税收或其他政府收費而被要求從財產(包括權利)的任何分配中扣留或確實扣留金額,則分配給代表該等已交存證券的美國存託憑證持有人的金額應相應減少。如果託管人確定財產上的任何分配(包括股份和認購權)需要繳納託管人有義務扣繳的任何税款或其他政府費用,託管人可以按託管人認為支付任何 此類税費或費用所需和切實可行的金額和方式,處置全部或部分財產(包括股份和認購權) 。
A-13 |
不能保證一般持有人,尤其是任何持有人將有機會按照與股份持有人相同的條款和條件行使權利或行使該等權利。本協議或存款協議並無規定本公司就行使該等權利時將收購的任何權利或股份或其他證券提交任何登記聲明。
在收到通知表示本公司希望將現金、股份或購買額外股份的權利以外的財產轉讓給美國存託憑證持有人後,託管銀行應確定此類分配給持有人是否合法和合理可行。託管人不得進行此類分配,除非(I) 公司已要求託管人向持有人進行此類分發,(Ii)託管人已收到《託管協議》中設想的文件,以及(Iii)託管人已確定此種分發合理可行。 在滿足上述條件後,託管人應將收到的財產在美國存托股份備案日起分發給記錄持有人,按其各自持有的美國存託憑證數量的比例,並以託管人認為可行的方式進行分配:(I)在收到付款或扣除託管人的適用費用和收費及支出後,以及(Ii)扣除任何預扣的税金後。託管人可以按託管人認為可行或必要的方式(包括公開或私下出售)處置如此分配和存放的全部或部分財產,以滿足適用於分配的任何 税(包括適用的利息和罰款)或其他政府收費。
如果上述條件不符合,託管銀行應按其認為適當的一個或多個地點,按其認為適當的條款,以公開或私下方式出售或出售該財產,並應(I)將出售所得收益(如有)兑換成美元,以及(Ii)根據本協議和存款協議的條款,將託管銀行收到的此類轉換所得收益(扣除適用於託管銀行的費用和收費以及由此產生的支出)分配給持有人。如果保管人無法 出售這種財產,保管人可以在這種情況下以其認為合理可行的任何方式處置這種財產。
(15)贖回。 在及時收到本公司通知表示擬就任何已交存的證券行使贖回權,以及大律師的滿意意見,以及在確定建議贖回切實可行後,託管人應 (在可行範圍內)向每名持有人郵寄通知,列明本公司擬行使贖回權的意向及本公司向託管人發出的通知內所載的任何其他詳情。於接獲已贖回及已收到相當於贖回價格的款項的確認後,託管人將根據存款協議的條款,於持有人交付該等美國存託憑證時,轉換、轉移及分配所得款項(扣除適用的(A)託管費用及支出、 及(B)税項)、註銷美國存託憑證及註銷美國存託憑證。如果贖回不足全部未贖回的存入證券,將按批次或按比例選擇要註銷的美國存託憑證,這可能由託管機構決定。每個美國存托股份的贖回價格應為:託管人在贖回以美國存托股份為代表的證券時收到的每股美元金額(受《存託協議》的條款以及託管人的適用費用和收費以及由此產生的費用和税費的限制)乘以每個贖回的美國存托股份所代表的證券單位數或已存放的證券數量。
A-14 |
(16)固定美國存托股份錄製日期 。每當託管人收到本公司為確定有權收到任何分發(無論是現金、股票、權利或其他分發)的已存放證券持有人而確定記錄日期的通知時,或當 託管人因任何原因導致每個美國存托股份所代表的股份數量發生變化時,或每當託管人應 收到股份或其他已託管證券持有人的任何會議或徵求其同意或委託書的通知時,或每當 託管人認為有必要或方便地發出任何通知時,在徵求任何同意或任何其他 事項時,託管銀行應確定一個記錄日期(“美國存托股份記錄日期”),以供收據持有人確定,他們有權 收到有關分發、就在任何有關會議上行使投票權作出指示、給予或拒絕同意、或接收有關通知或徵求意見或以其他方式採取行動,或行使持有人對各美國存托股份所代表的該等變更股份數目的權利。在符合適用法律以及本收據 和存款協議的條款和條件的情況下,只有在美國存托股份記錄日期當日紐約交易結束時持有收據的人才有權 接收此類分發、發出此類指示、接收此類通知或徵求意見,或採取其他行動。
(17)對存入證券的表決。在收到股份持有人有權投票的任何會議的通知,或股份或其他託管證券持有人徵求同意或委託書的通知後,託管銀行應在切實可行範圍內儘快確定有關該會議或徵求同意或委託書的美國存托股份記錄日期。託管人應(如本公司及時提出書面要求,費用由本公司承擔,且在美國法律不禁止的情況下)向持有人郵寄:(A) 該會議或徵求同意或委託書的通知,(B)一份聲明,聲明截至美國存托股份記錄日期,持有人將有權, 在任何適用法律、本公司的組織章程細則和章程大綱以及 已交存證券的規定或管轄下(如有規定,本公司應在相關部分彙總),指示託管人 行使與該持有人的美國存托股份所代表的股份或其他已存放證券有關的投票權(如有) 及(C)有關發出該等指示的方式的簡短陳述。在美國存托股份記錄日期按託管人指定的方式及時收到美國存託憑證持有人的表決指示後,託管人應在可行的範圍內努力 並根據適用法律允許《存託協議》、《公司章程細則》和《公司章程大綱》以及已交存證券的規定投票表決或促使託管人表決該持有人所持有的美國存託憑證所代表的股份和/或其他已交存證券,無論是舉手錶決,在這種情況下,託管人應被指示 按照已向託管人發出指示的大多數美國存托股份持有人的指示投票,或在投票表決時,在這種情況下,託管人應被指示按照從發出指示的持有人那裏收到的指示投票。

Neither the Depositary nor the Custodian shall, under any circumstances exercise any discretion as to voting and neither the Depositary nor the Custodian shall vote, attempt to exercise the right to vote, or in any way make use of, the Shares or other Deposited Securities represented by ADS except pursuant to and in accordance with such written instructions from Holders. If voting instructions are received by the Depositary from any Holder on or before the date established by the Depositary for the receipt of such instructions, which are signed but without further indication as to specific instructions, the Depositary will deem such Holder to have instructed the Depositary to vote in favor of the items set forth in such instructions. Shares or other Deposited Securities represented by ADS for which no specific voting instructions are received by the Depositary from the Holder shall not be voted. Notwithstanding anything else contained in the Deposit Agreement or this Receipt, the Depositary shall not have any obligation to take any action with respect to any meeting, or solicitation or consents or proxies, of holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities if the taking of such action would violate U.S. laws. The Company agrees to take any and all actions reasonably necessary to enable Holders and Beneficial Owners to exercise the voting rights accruing to the Shares or other Deposited Securities and to deliver to the Depositary an opinion of U.S. counsel addressing any actions requested to be taken if so requested by the Depositary. There can be no assurance that Holders generally or any Holder in particular will receive the notice described above with sufficient time to enable the Holder to return voting instructions to the Depositary in a timely manner.

(25) Certain Rights of the Depositary; Limitations. Subject to the further terms and provisions of this Article (25), the Depositary, its Affiliates and their agents, on their own behalf and on behalf of their clients, may own and deal in any class of securities of the Company and its Affiliates and in ADSs. The Depositary may issue ADSs against evidence of rights to receive Shares from the Company, any agent of the Company or any custodian, registrar, transfer agent, clearing agency or other entity involved in ownership or transaction records in respect of the Shares. Such evidence of rights shall consist of written blanket or specific guarantees of ownership of Shares. In its capacity as Depositary, the Depositary shall not lend Shares or ADSs; provided, however, that the Depositary may (i) issue ADSs prior to the receipt of Shares pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Deposit Agreement and (ii) deliver Shares prior to the receipt of ADSs for withdrawal of Deposited Securities pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Deposit Agreement, including ADSs which were issued under (i) above but for which Shares may not have been received (each such transaction a “Pre-Release Transaction”). The Depositary may receive ADSs in lieu of Shares under (i) above and receive Shares in lieu of ADSs under (ii) above. Each such Pre-Release Transaction will be (a) accompanied by or subject to a written agreement whereby the person or entity (the “Applicant”) to whom ADSs or Shares are to be delivered (w) represents that at the time of the Pre-Release Transaction the Applicant or its customer owns the Shares or ADSs that are to be delivered by the Applicant under such Pre-Release Transaction, (x) agrees to indicate the Depositary as owner of such Shares or ADSs in its records and to hold such Shares or ADSs in trust for the Depositary until such Shares or ADSs are delivered to the Depositary or the Custodian, (y) unconditionally guarantees to deliver to the Depositary or the Custodian, as applicable, such Shares or ADSs and (z) agrees to any additional restrictions or requirements that the Depositary deems appropriate, (b) at all times fully collateralized with cash, U.S. government securities or such other collateral as the Depositary deems appropriate, (c) terminable by the Depositary on not more than five (5) business days notice and (d) subject to such further indemnities and credit regulations as the Depositary deems appropriate. The Depositary will normally limit the number of ADSs and Shares involved in such Pre-Release Transactions at any one time to thirty percent (30%) of the ADSs outstanding (without giving effect to ADSs outstanding under (i) above), provided, however, that the Depositary reserves the right to change or disregard such limit from time to time as it deems appropriate. The Depositary may also set limits with respect to the number of ADSs and Shares involved in Pre-Release Transactions with any one person on a case by case basis as it deems appropriate. The Depositary may retain for its own account any compensation received by it in conjunction with the foregoing. Collateral provided pursuant to (b) above, but not earnings thereon, shall be held for the benefit of the Holders (other than the Applicant).
