At least 14 days' notice in writing of any meeting (other than a meeting convened to pass a special resolution) of unit holders shall be given by the trustee. In the case of a meeting convened to pass a special resolution, at least 21 days' notice shall be given. Such notice will specify in a circular the general nature of the business to be transacted. ​

(2)  

The trustee shall cause at least 14 days' notice (21 days in the case of a special resolution to be passed) to be given of any meeting by advertisement in a national language daily newspaper and in one other newspaper as may be approved by the SC, and in writing to the Exchange. ​

(3) 

A unit holder shall be entitled to attend and vote at any meeting of unit holders, and shall be entitled to appoint another person (whether a unit holder or not) as his proxy to attend and vote. Where the unit holder is an authorised nominee as defined under the Securities Industry (Central Depositories) Act 1991, it may appoint at least 1 proxy in respect of each securities account it holds with units standing to the credit of the said securities account. Where a unit holder appoints 2 proxies in accordance with this provision the appointment shall be invalid unless he specifies the proportions of his holdings to be represented by each proxy. Such proxy shall have the same rights as the member to vote whether on a poll or a show of hands, to speak and to be reckoned in a quorum. ​

(4)

In the case of an equality of votes the chairman of a meeting of unit holders shall have a casting vote in addition to his votes (if any) as a unit holder both on a show of hands and on a poll. ​
