LETTER FROM THE BOARD

1. INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 23 May 2016 in respect of the Change of Company Name. The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information on the resolution to be proposed at the EGM regarding the Change of Company Name and to give you EGM Notice.

2. PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Board proposes to change the English name of the Company from ‘‘Agile Property Holdings Limited’’ to ‘‘Agile Group Holdings Limited’’, and to change its dual foreign name in Chinese from ‘‘雅居樂地產控股有限公司’’ to ‘‘雅居樂集團控股有限公司’’.

3. CONDITIONS FOR THE CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

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

  • (i) the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM to approve the Change of Company Name; and

  • (ii) the issue of a certificate of incorporation on change of name by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands.

Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set out above, the Change of Company Name will take effect from the date on which the certificate of incorporation on change of name is issued by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands. Thereafter the Company will carry out the necessary filing procedures with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong.

4. REASONS FOR THE CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Group is principally engaged in property development, property management, hotel operations and property investment.

With further development and expansion of the business scope of the Group, the Board considers that the Change of Company Name will reflect the future strategy of the Group. In addition, the new name can also refresh the Company’s corporate image and identity.

The Board is of the opinion that the Change of Company Name will benefit the Company’s future business development and is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

5. EFFECT OF THE CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Change of Company Name will not affect any rights of the Shareholders or the Company’s daily business operation and/or its financial position. All existing share certificates of the Company in issue bearing the present name of the Company will, after the Change of Company Name becoming effective, continue to be effective and evidence of title to the Shares and will remain valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes. Accordingly, there will not be any arrangement for free exchange of the existing share certificates of the Company for new share certificates bearing its new name and the new dual foreign name in Chinese. Upon the Change of Company Name becoming effective, any new share certificates of the Company will be issued under its new name and new dual foreign name in Chinese.

In addition, subject to the confirmation of the Stock Exchange, the stock short name for trading in the shares of the Company will also be changed after the Change of Company Name becoming effective. Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company in due course to inform the Shareholders of the results of the EGM, the effective date of the Change of Company Name and the new stock short name for trading in the Shares as and when appropriate.

6. EGM

The EGM Notice is set out in Appendix to this circular.

In compliance with the Listing Rules, the resolution will be voted by way of a poll. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiry, no shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the resolution to be proposed at the EGM.

A form of proxy for use at the EGM is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you are able to attend the EGM, you are requested to complete the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for holding the EGM or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting at the EGM or any adjournment thereof should you so wish and in such case, the proxy form previously submitted shall be deemed to be revoked.

7. RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.
