An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to grant the Issue Mandate to the Directors, i.e. a general and unconditional mandate to exercise all the powers of the Company to allot, issue and deal with, otherwise than by way of rights issue or any option scheme or similar arrangements for the time being adopted for the grant or issue to officers and/or employees of the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries of shares or rights to acquire shares in the Company or any shares of the Company issued as scrip dividends pursuant to the memorandum and articles of association of the Company, additional Shares with an aggregate nominal value not exceeding 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company at the date of the passing of such resolution.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution approving the Issue Mandate, based on 1,228,000,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming no further Shares are issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of passing of such resolution, the Directors would be authorized to issue up to 245,600,000 Shares (being 20% of the Shares in issue) and the Issue Mandate will remain in effect until the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands; and (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company.

3. GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

4. EXTENSION OF GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

Conditional upon the passing of the resolutions to grant the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to extend the Issue Mandate by an amount representing the aggregate nominal amount of the Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate provided that such extended amount shall not exceed 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company at the date of passing the resolution for approving the Issue Mandate.

Details of the retiring Directors which are required to be disclosed by the Listing Rules are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

6. CHANGE OF NAME OF THE COMPANY

The Board proposes to change the English name of the Company from “AAC ACOUSTIC TECHNOLOGIES HOLDINGS INC.” to “AAC TECHNOLOGIES HOLDINGS INC.” and the Chinese name from “瑞聲聲學科技控股有限公司” (which was previously adopted for identification purpose) to “瑞聲科技控股有限公司”.

Conditions for the Proposed Change of Company Name

The Proposed Change of Company Name is subject to the following conditions:

  • (i) the passing of the Special Resolution by the Shareholders at the AGM approving the Proposed Change of Company Name; and

  • (ii) the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands granting approval for the use by the Company of the proposed English name of “AAC TECHNOLOGIES HOLDINGS INC.” and the proposed Chinese name of “瑞聲科技控股有限公司”.

The new names of the Company will take effect from the date on which the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands enters the new names of the Company on the register in place of the former name. The Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands shall issue the certificate of incorporation on change of name thereafter. The Company will then carry out all necessary filing procedures with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Reason for the Proposed Change of Company Name

The Company continues to extend its ability to miniaturise components into other technologies beyond acoustics. The Board, therefore, considers the proposed change of our company name will better reflect the scope and aspiration for the Company’s business as well as simplify the name. This change will not affect the Company’s existing business nor our focus in the acoustic segment. Overall, the Board believes that the Proposed Change of Company Name is in the interest of the Company and Shareholders.

Effect of the Proposed Change of Company Name

The Proposed Change of Company Name will not affect any of the rights of the holders of securities of the Company. All existing share certificates of the Company in issue bearing the existing English name of the Company will, after the Proposed Change of Company Name becoming effective, continue to be evidence of title to such securities and will remain to be valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purpose. Accordingly, there will not be any arrangement for free exchange of the existing share certificates for new share certificates bearing the new English and Chinese names of the Company.

Upon the Proposed Change of Company Name becoming effective, new share certificates of the Company will be issued under the new English and Chinese names of the Company, and the English and Chinese stock short names of the Company will also be changed.

The Company will make further announcement on the effective date of the Proposed Change of Company Name and the change in the stock short name upon the Proposed Change of Company Name becoming effective.

7. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The notice of the AGM is set out on pages 14 to 17 of this circular. At the AGM, resolutions will be proposed to approve, inter alia, the granting of the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate and the extension of the Issue Mandate by the addition thereto of the number of Shares repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the re-election of retiring Directors and the Proposed Change of Company Name.

A form of proxy for use at the AGM is enclosed with this circular and such form of proxy is also published on the websites of the Stock Exchange (www.hkex.com.hk) and the Company (www. aacacoustic.com). In order to be valid, the form of proxy must be completed and signed in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and deposited at the Company’s Hong Kong branch share registrar, Investor Communications Centre of Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, together with a power of attorney or other authority, if any, under which it is signed or a certified copy of that power or authority, not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the AGM or adjourned meeting. The completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude any Shareholder from attending and voting at the AGM if so wished.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

8. LISTING RULES REQUIREMENT

According to rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll. Therefore, all the resolutions put to the vote at the AGM will be taken by way of poll.

9. RECOMMENDATION

The Directors consider that the Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate, the extension of the Issue Mandate, the re-election of retiring Directors and the Proposed Change of Company Name are in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. The Directors therefore recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant resolutions as set out in the notice of the AGM on pages 14 to 17 of this circular.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

The following explanatory statement contains all the information required pursuant to rule 10.06 of the Listing Rules to be given to all the Shareholders relating to the resolution to be proposed at the AGM authorising the Repurchase Mandate.

1. EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued ordinary share capital of the Company comprises 1,228,000,000 Shares. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of passing of such resolution, the Directors would be authorised to repurchase up to 122,800,000 Shares (being 10% of the Shares in issue) during the period up to the next annual general meeting in 2012 or the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands or the revocation or variation of the Repurchase Mandate by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company, whichever occurs first.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares but consider that the Repurchase Mandate will provide the Company with the flexibility to make such repurchases when appropriate and beneficial to the Company. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the value of the net assets and/or earnings per Share.

3. IMPACT ON THE WORKING CAPITAL OR GEARING POSITION

As compared with the financial position of the Company as disclosed in its most recent published audited consolidated accounts as at 31 December 2010, the Directors consider that there might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company in the event that the proposed share repurchases were to be carried out in full during the proposed repurchase period. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital or gearing position of the Company.

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

The Directors recognized that the repurchasing of Shares must be made by funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the memorandum and articles of association of the Company and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. The Companies Laws (2010 Revision) of the Cayman Islands (the “Laws”) provide that a share repurchase by the Company may only be made out of profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose or, if so authorised by the Articles of Association and subject to the provisions of the Laws, out of capital. Any premium payable on a repurchase over the par value of the Shares repurchased or conditionally or unconditionally to be purchased must be provided for out of profits of the Company or out of the Company’s share premium account or, if so authorised by the Articles of Association and subject to the provisions of the Laws, out of capital.

8

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

5. DIRECTORS, THEIR ASSOCIATES AND CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), has any present intention, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries.

No connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, or has undertaken not to do so in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

6. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate and in accordance with the Listing Rules and all applicable laws of the Cayman Islands, and the regulations set out in the memorandum and articles of association of the Company.

7. EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE

If on exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such an increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Benjamin Zhengmin Pan (“Mr. Pan”), an executive Director, beneficially owns 69,512,565 Shares. Mr. Pan is deemed to be interested in 51,439,440 Shares which are beneficially owned by Silver Island Limited, a company 100% owned by Mr. Pan, 295,820,525 Shares which beneficially owned by Ms. Ingrid Chunyuan Wu (“Ms. Wu”), the wife of Mr. Pan, and, 112,375,158 Shares and 4,738,844 Shares which are beneficially owned by his children (one of whom is under and another is over the age of 18) as beneficiaries of the Pan 2005 Irrevocable Trust and the Pan 2005 Exempt Trust respectively under the SFO. Ms. Wu, as a non-executive Director, beneficially owns 295,820,525 Shares. Ms. Wu is deemed to be interested in 120,952,005 Shares which are owned by Mr. Pan, the husband of Ms. Wu, and, 112,375,158 Shares and 4,738,844 Shares which are beneficially owned by her children (one of whom is under and another is over the age of 18) as beneficiaries of the Pan 2005 Irrevocable Trust and the Pan 2005 Exempt Trust respectively under the SFO. For the purpose of the Takeovers Code, Mr. Pan and Ms. Wu are concert parties and are taken to have interests in a total of 533,886,532 Shares representing approximately 43.47% of the issued share capital of the Company.

In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate which is proposed to be granted by the Shareholders, then (if the present shareholdings otherwise remained the same) the aggregate interests of both Mr. Pan and Ms. Wu would be increased to approximately 48.31% of the issued share capital of the Company. In the opinion of the Directors, such increase would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code. In any event, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to an extent which will trigger off the mandatory offer requirement pursuant to the rules of the Takeovers Code.

9

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

The Company will not purchase Shares if that purchase would result in the number of Shares which are in the hands of the public falling below 25% of the Company’s issued share capital.

Save as disclosed above, the Directors are not aware of any Shareholders, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert, who may become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code in the event that the Directors exercise the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

8. SHARE PURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company has not repurchased any of its Shares during the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

9. SHARE PRICES

During the previous twelve months before the Latest Practicable Date, the highest and lowest trade prices of the Shares on the Stock Exchange were as follows:
