Open air at Boto
9 May 2002

(update 6-Aug-02)

Shareholder meetings in Hong Kong are often closed to the media, particularly when there is a contentious matter to be voted upon. Shareholders suffer behind closed doors.

At Webb-site.com, we believe in transparency. Public companies should conduct their affairs in public, so that media can report on them, and investors or potential investors who cannot attend the meeting in person can know exactly what happened. We want independent media to get in, whether or not they are invited. 

Accordingly, in a pioneering project for Hong Kong, we are going to facilitate as many members of the media as possible to be legally entitled to a seat at the meeting as proxy for a company we control. Webb-site.com will arrange for up to 40 members of the media to attend as proxy, each in respect of 1 share.

The Special General Meeting will start is at 10:30 a.m. on Monday 19-Aug-02 at:

16th Floor
Eight Commercial Tower
8 Sun Yip Street
Chai Wan
Hong Kong

Please arrive by 10.15 a.m. to complete any admittance checks. The location is shown on this map, or on this map (wider view).

To attend the meeting as our company's proxy:

  1. You must work for a recognised member of the media. Our judgement on whom we recognise is final.
  2. Maximum of 2 representatives per publication.
  3. You must notify us of your attendance by close of business on Thursday 15-Aug-02. This is because all proxies must be notified to the company 48 hours before the meeting.
  4. We will then appoint you as proxy in respect of 1 share.
  5. As a proxy, ask the board as many questions as you like, as long as they are about the proposed resolution.
  6. First come, first served - we have arranged a maximum of 40 proxies.
  7. Attendance is at your own risk.

To attend, contact us with:

  1. Your full name in English.
  2. Your address.
  3. The name of your publication.
  4. Your  e-mail, phone and fax number.
