PROXY STATEMENT
GENERAL INFORMATION
This Proxy Statement and the accompanying Proxy, if you hold Ordinary Shares, or Voting Instruction Card if you hold American Depository Shares (“ADSs”), are being mailed to shareholders of the Company (“Shareholders”) in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company for the 2020 Annual General Meeting of the Company (the “Annual General Meeting”). The Company’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, which is not part of this Proxy Statement, was filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2020 (Form 20-F).
Voting By Registered Holders of Ordinary Shares
When your Proxy is returned properly executed, the Ordinary Shares it represents will be voted in accordance with your specifications. You have three choices as to your vote on each of the items described in this Proxy Statement that are to be voted upon at the Annual General Meeting. You may vote “for” or “against” each item or “abstain” from voting by marking the appropriate box.
If you sign and return your Proxy but do not specify any choices, you will thereby confer discretionary authority for your Ordinary Shares to be voted as recommended by the Board. The Proxy also confers discretionary authority on the individuals named therein to vote on any variations to the proposed resolutions.
Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual General Meeting, you can be assured that your Ordinary Shares are voted by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed Proxy to the Company’s share registrar at Maples Fund Services (Asia) Limited, 16th Floor, Central Plaza, 18 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong, not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the Annual General Meeting. You may revoke your Proxy at any time before it is exercised by giving written notice thereof to the Secretary of the Company, by submitting a subsequently dated Proxy, by attending the Annual General Meeting and withdrawing the Proxy, or by voting in person at the Annual General Meeting.
Each holder of the Ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company in issue, and recorded in the register of Members of the Company at the close of business on July 29, 2020, is entitled to one vote on a show of hands and, on a poll, to one vote for each Ordinary Share so held at the Annual General Meeting, which includes The Bank of New York Mellon which is the registered holder of all Ordinary Shares deposited into the Company’s ADS program. See the section entitled “Voting by Holders of ADSs” below. All such Ordinary Shares entitled to vote at the Annual General Meeting are referred to herein as “Record Shares.” The presence in person or by proxy of a majority of the Record Shares will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual General Meeting. Resolutions put to the vote at the Annual General Meeting will be decided by a show of hands unless a poll is, before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands, demanded by the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting or any holder of Record Shares present in person or by proxy. Every holder of a Record Share present in person or by proxy is entitled to one vote on a show of hands and, on a poll, to one vote for each Record Share held.
If two or more persons are jointly registered as holders of an Ordinary Share then in voting, the vote of the senior who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of other holders of the Ordinary Share and, for this purpose seniority, shall be determined by the order in which the names stand on the register of the Members.
Voting by Holders of ADSs
The Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary of the ADSs, has advised us that it intends to mail to all owners of ADSs this Proxy Statement, the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting and an ADS Voting Instruction Card. Upon the written request of an owner of record of ADSs, The Bank of New York Mellon will endeavor, to the extent practicable, to vote or cause to be voted the amount of Shares represented by the ADSs, evidenced by American Depositary Receipts related to those ADSs, in accordance with the instructions set forth in such request. The Bank of New York Mellon has advised us that it will not vote or attempt to exercise the right to vote other than in accordance with those instructions. As the holder of record for all the Ordinary Shares represented by the ADSs, only The Bank of New York Mellon may vote those Shares at the Annual General Meeting.
The Bank of New York Mellon and its agents are not responsible if they fail to carry out your voting instructions or for the manner in which they carry out your voting instructions. This means that if the Ordinary Shares underlying your ADSs are not able to be voted at the Annual General Meeting, there may be nothing you can do.
If (i) the enclosed ADS Voting Instruction Card is signed but is missing voting instructions, (ii) the enclosed ADS Voting Instruction Card is improperly completed or (iii) no ADS Voting Instruction Card is received by The Bank of New York Mellon from a holder of ADSs by September 1, 2020, at 5:00 p.m., New York time (the “ADS Voting Deadline”), The Bank of New York Mellon will deem such holder of ADSs to have instructed it to give a proxy to the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting to vote in favor of each proposal recommended by the Board and against each proposal opposed by the Board. Holders of ADSs can only change their instructions to The Bank of New York Mellon by providing a new ADS Voting Instruction Card to The Bank of New York Mellon prior to the ADS Voting Deadline. ADS holders cannot vote or change the instructions previously delivered to The Bank of New York Mellon in an ADS Voting Instruction Card by attending the Annual General Meeting in person.
Other Matters
Your attention is also drawn to Articles 93 and 94 of the Articles of Association of the Company in relation to the requirements applicable to any Member who wishes to propose additional business at the Annual General Meeting not set out in the Notice of the Annual General Meeting, including in relation to the election of the Directors. For such additional business to be properly brought before an annual general meeting, it must be brought by a Member, whose notice addressed to the Secretary of the Company must have been delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Company not less than 45 days nor more than 75 days prior to the date on which the Company first mailed proxy materials for the previous year’s annual general meeting (or the date on which the Company mails its proxy materials for the current year if during the prior year the Company did not hold an annual general meeting or if the date of the annual general meeting was changed more than 30 days from the prior year). The term “Member” is used to refer specifically to holders of Ordinary Shares whose name is entered on the register of Members as the holder of one or more ordinary shares. Such notice to the Secretary must set forth as to each matter the Member proposes to bring before the annual general meeting (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual general meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual general meeting, (ii) the name and record address of the Member proposing such business, (iii) the class and number of shares of the Company which are beneficially owned by the Member, and (iv) any material interest of the Member in such business. In the case of nominations of persons for election to the Board, the notice must set forth, in addition, (a) as to each person whom the Member proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a Director, (i) the name, age, business address and residence address of the person, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of the person, (iii) the class and number of shares of the Company which are beneficially owned by the person, and (iv) any other information relating to the person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations for proxies for election of Directors pursuant to Rule 14a under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and (b) as to the Member giving the notice, (i) the name and record address of the Member, and (ii) the class and number of shares of the Company which are beneficially owned by the Member. The Company may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Company to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a Director of the Company. No person shall be eligible for election as a Director of the Company unless nominated in accordance with these procedures.
Under Article 87 of the Articles of Association of the Company, a Member is entitled to cumulate votes (i.e., cast for any candidate a number of votes greater than the number of votes which such Member normally is entitled to cast) if the candidates’ names have been placed in nomination prior to commencement of the voting and the Member has given notice prior to commencement of the voting of the Member’s intention to cumulate votes. If any Member has given such notice, then every Member entitled to vote may cumulate votes for candidates in nomination either (i) by giving one candidate a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes to which the Member’s Shares are normally entitled to, or (ii) by distributing the Member’s votes on the same principle among any or all of the candidates, as the Member thinks fit. The candidates receiving the highest number of affirmative votes, up to the number of directors to be elected, shall be elected; votes against any candidate and votes withheld shall have no legal effect. Each holder of ADSs may instruct The Bank of New York Mellon to vote the Ordinary Shares underlying its ADSs on a cumulative basis as described above.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board is responsible for establishing broad corporate policies and for overseeing the overall performance of the Company. The Board reviews significant developments affecting the Company and acts on other matters requiring its approval.
The current Board comprises Sterling Du, Chuan Chiung “Perry” Kuo, James Elvin Keim (executive directors) and Michael Austin, Lawrence Lai-Fu Lin, Teik Seng Tan, Daniel Lenehan, Vijay Kumar, and Ji Liu (independent non-executive directors). The current standing committees of the Board are the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating Committee.
The Audit Committee is established by the Board primarily for the purpose of overseeing the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Company and audits of the financial statements of the Company. Its responsibilities include (1) the appointment, retention, compensation and oversight of the work of the Company’s independent auditors, and for review of its qualifications; (2) review of the Company’s annual financial statement, earning releases and accounting practices and procedures; and (3) review of the Company’s system of internal controls. The Audit Committee also maintains procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, internal controls, or auditing matters and for the confidential submission by employees of the Company of concerns regarding accounting or auditing matters. The Audit Committee is currently comprised of three of the Company’s independent directors, Daniel Lenehan, Teik Seng Tan (Chairman) and Lawrence Lai-Fu Lin. Mr. Tan is seeking re-election as a Class I Director at the 2020 Annual General Meeting.
The Compensation Committee (i) establishes remuneration levels of the Company's officers, (ii) performs the functions that are provided under the Company's employee benefit programs and (iii) administers the Company's Stock Incentive Plans. When reviewing and recommending executive officer compensation, the Compensation Committee meets without management present, and retains an independent compensation consultant whose firm does not provide any other services to management or the Company. The Compensation Committee is currently comprised of two of the Company’s independent directors, Lawrence Lai-Fu Lin and Michael Austin.
The Nominating Committee assists the Board in selecting nominees for election to the Board and makes recommendations to the Board from time to time, or whenever it shall be called upon to do so, regarding nominees for the Board. The Nominating Committee is currently comprised of two of the Company’s independent directors, Michael Austin (Chairman) and Vijay Kumar.
REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
As more fully described in its charter, the Audit Committee is directly responsible for the oversight of the Company’s accounting and financial reporting processes, and audits of the financial statements of the Company. It is also responsible to oversee the Company’s independent auditor, and for the review of the Company’s internal system of controls, though the Company’s management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process including the systems of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, with management. Said review also included i) a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles; ii) the reasonableness of significant judgments; and iii) the clarity of disclosures in the Company’s financial statements.
The Audit Committee also reviewed the Company’s financial statements with the Company’s independent auditors, Deloitte & Touche, who are responsible for i) expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles; ii) reporting their judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of the Company’s accounting principles; and iii) such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee under generally accepted auditing standards. The Audit Committee carried out its discussions with the independent auditors independently from management and the Company. The independent auditors provided the Audit Committee with the letter required by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence. The Audit Committee regularly meets with the independent auditors, with and without management present; to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of the Company’s internal controls and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting. The Audit Committee held four meetings in 2020.
In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board (and the Board has approved) that the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, be included in the Report to Shareholders and the Form 20-F for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Audit Committee recommended, subject to shareholders’ approval, the appointment of Deloitte & Touche as the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020.

PROPOSALS NOS. 1a. – c.: ELECTION OF CLASS I DIRECTORS
Article 116 of the Company’s Articles of Association provides that, at the Company’s first annual general meeting after becoming eligible to have a classified board, the Board will be divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II, and Class III, as nearly equal in number as the then total number of directors permits. Class I directors will be elected for a one-year term, Class II directors for a two-year term and Class III directors for a three-year term. At each subsequent annual general meeting, successors to the class of directors whose terms expire at that annual general meeting will be elected for a three-year term. If the number of directors is changed, any increase or decrease will be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly as possible, and any additional directors of any class elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in that class will hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of that class, but in no case will a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director.
At the 2017 Annual General Meeting, the three (3) existing Class I Directors, Sterling Du, Chuan Chiung “Perry” Kuo, and Teik Seng Tan were each proposed to be elected for a three-year term, and until their respective successors are elected and duly qualified, or until such director’s earlier resignation or removal.
