CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration.
Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

To the Shareholders
Dear Madam or Sir,
PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME AND NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING
INTRODUCTION
At the SGM, resolution will be proposed to seek the Shareholders’ approval for the Name Change. The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information relating to the above-mentioned resolution.
– 2 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
The Board proposed to change the Company’s English name to “M-Resources Group Limited” and Chinese name (as its secondary name) to “脈資資源集團有限公司”.
CONDITIONS OF THE NAME CHANGE
The Name Change is subject to the following conditions:
-
(i) passing of a special resolution by the shareholders of the Company to approve the Name Change at a special general meeting of the Company; and
-
(ii) approval of the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda for the Name Change.
The Name Change will take effect after satisfaction of the above conditions and from the date of entry of the new English and Chinese names of the Company into the register of companies maintained by the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda in place of the existing names. The Company will then carry out all necessary filing or registration procedures with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong pursuant to Part 16 of the Companies Ordinance (Chapter 622 of the Laws of Hong Kong).
REASONS FOR THE NAME CHANGE
Reference was made to the announcement of the Company proposing to change the Company’s English name to “Gaan Muk Group Limited” and Chinese name (as its secondary name) to “柬木集團有限公司” (the “Previously Proposed Name Change”) dated 3 August 2020. The Board is of the view that the Name Change, which better reflects the nature of Company’s businesses and its global business networks, provides a more appropriate corporate identification and image of the Company than the Previously Proposed Name Change. Accordingly, the Board considers the Name Change in the interest of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.
EFFECT OF THE NAME CHANGE
The Name Change will not, of itself, affect the rights of any Shareholder. All existing share certificates of the Company bearing the existing names of the Company will, after the Name Change becomes effective, continue to be evidence of legal title to the shares of the Company and valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes. All new share certificates of the Company issued after the Name Change becomes effective will bear the new names. As such, there will be no arrangement for free exchange of the existing share certificates for new certificates.
In addition, subject to the confirmation of the Stock Exchange, the stock short name for trading in the shares will also be changed after the Name Change becoming effective. The Company will make further announcement on the Name Change and change of its stock short names after the Name Change becomes effective.
