(2) at the original Extraordinary General Meeting held today (the "Original EGM") at which a quorum was present, the chairman of the Original EGM did not submit any of the resolutions set forth in the Notice of the Original EGM for voting by the Dorsett Shareholders at the Original EGM.

The total number of votes cast in favour of the Adjournment Resolution was 1,385,917,317 votes, representing approximately 99.9995% of the total number of votes cast and the total number of votes cast against the Adjournment Resolution was 7,223 votes, representing approximately

Pursuant to rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules and the articles of association of Dorsett, voting of the Adjournment Resolution was taken by poll. Tricor Investor Services Limited, Dorsett's branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, was appointed as the scrutineer for the vote-taking at the Original EGM.
As at the date of the Original EGM, Dorsett had 2,100,626,650 Dorsett Shares in issue. The total number of Dorsett Shares entitling the Dorsett Shareholders to attend and vote for or against the Adjournment Resolution at the Original EGM was 2,100,626,650, representing
100% of the issued share capital of Dorsett as at the date of the Original EGM. There was no Dorsett Share entitling the Dorsett Shareholders to attend but abstain from voting in favour of the Adjournment Resolution at the Original EGM as set out in rule 13.40 of the Listing Rules and no Dorsett Shareholder was required to abstain from voting in respect of the Adjournment Resolution at the Original EGM.
