Entitlement to attend and vote 
2.     A GDF Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the meeting convened by 
the above notice is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote 
instead of him. A proxy need not be a member of GDF but must attend the meeting 
to represent the GDF Shareholder. Details of how to appoint the Chairman of the 
meeting or another person as a proxy using the proxy form are set out in the 
notes to the proxy form. If a GDF Shareholder fails to indicate how he or she 
wishes his/her proxy to vote on any particular matter, then the proxy will be 
entitled to exercise his/her discretion as to whether, and if so how, he or she 
votes. 
 
 
Appointment of proxies 
3.     To be valid, the instrument appointing a proxy and the power of attorney 
or other authority (if any) under which it is signed, or a copy of such 
authority notarially certified, must be deposited at Capita Registrars Limited, 
The Registry, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent, BR3 4TU United Kingdom not 
later than 4.00 p.m. (Hong Kong time) on 21 May 2009, and not less than 24 hours 
before the time appointed for any adjournment thereof. 
 
 
4.     In the case of a GDF Shareholder which is a company, the instrument 
appointing a proxy must be executed under its common seal or signed on its 
behalf by an officer of GDF or an attorney for GDF so authorised. 
 
 
5.     The register of members of GDF will be closed from 4.00 p.m. (Hong Kong 
time) on 21 May 2009 to 6.00 p.m. (Hong Kong time) on 22 May 2009 (or for an 
adjourned meeting 24 hours before the time set for such an adjourned meeting), 
during which period no transfer of shares will be effected. In accordance with 
Article 51 of the Articles, notice of the closure of the register of members of 
GDF has been given by an advertisement in a leading national daily newspaper 
published in each of London and Hong Kong. In order to qualify for voting at the 
Extraordinary General Meeting, all transfers of shares accompanied by the 
relevant share certificates must be lodged with Capita Registrars Limited, The 
Registry, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent, BR3 4TU, United Kingdom not later 
than 4.00 p.m. (Hong Kong time) on 21 May 2009 (or for an adjourned meeting 24 
hours before the time set for such an adjourned meeting). 
 
 
Appointment of proxy by joint members 
6.     Where there are joint registered holders of any share, any one of such 
persons may vote at the meeting, either personally or by proxy, in respect of 
such share as if he or she were solely entitled thereto, but if more than one of 
such joint holders is present at the meeting, personally or by proxy, then one 
of the said persons so present whose name stands first on the register in 
respect of such share shall alone be entitled to vote in respect thereof. 
 
 
Changing proxy instructions 
7.     To change your proxy instructions simply submit a new proxy appointment 
using the methods set out above. Note that the cut-off time for receipt of proxy 
appointments (see above) also apply in relation to amended instructions; any 
amended proxy appointment received after the relevant cut-off time will be 
disregarded. 
 
 
If you submit more than one valid proxy appointment, the appointment received 
last before the latest time for the receipt of proxies will take precedence. 
 
 
Termination of proxy appointments 
8.     In order to revoke a proxy instruction you will need to inform GDF in 
writing. The revocation notice must be received by Capita Registrars Limited, 
The Registry, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent, BR3 4TU, United Kingdom not 
later than 4.00 p.m. (Hong Kong time) on 21 May 2009, and not less than 24 hours 
before the time appointed for any adjournment thereof. If you attempt to revoke 
your proxy appointment but the revocation is received after the time specified 
then, subject to the paragraph directly below, your proxy appointment will 
remain valid. 
 
 
Appointment of a proxy does not preclude you from attending the meeting and 
voting in person. If you have appointed a proxy and attend the meeting in 
person, your proxy appointment will automatically be terminated. 
 
 
Issued shares and total voting rights 
9.     As at 4.30 p.m. (London time) on 24 April 2009, GDF's issued share 
capital comprised 96,900,000 ordinary shares of US$0.01 each. Each ordinary 
share carries the right to one vote at a general meeting of GDF and, therefore, 
the total number of voting rights in GDF as at 4.00 p.m. (Hong Kong time) on 22 
May 2009 is 96,900,000. 
 
 
Explanatory note to Resolution 5 
10.     Resolution 5, which will be proposed as a special resolution, seeks GDF 
Shareholder approval to adopt a new Article 68 to conform to new provisions in 
Article 91 of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991, as amended. If Resolution 5 is 
passed, all general meetings of GDF (including annual general meetings) may be 
called on at least 14 clear days' notice. This amendment to the Articles is 
being proposed by the Board in order to ensure that any further GDF Shareholder 
resolutions proposed by the Board may be proposed in a timely manner.
