(a) any one or more shareholders holding at the date of deposit of the requisition not less than one-tenth of the paid up capital of the Company (the “Eligible Shareholder(s)”) carrying the right of voting at general meetings of the Company shall at all times have the right, by written requisition to the Board or the Company Secretary to require an extraordinary general meeting (“EGM”) to be called by the Board for the transaction of any business specified in such requisition;
