Article 53 of the Articles of Association provides that when a person becomes a Minority Controller of HKEX (ie, one who is entitled to exercise or control the exercise of 5 per cent or more of the voting power at any general meeting of HKEX), he shall forthwith provide written notice to HKEX stating whether he has obtained the SFC’s approval under the SFO.
