LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAMES

The Board proposes to change the English name of the Company from “Art Textile Technology International Company Limited” to “Art Group Holdings Limited” and to change the dual foreign name in Chinese of the Company from “錦藝紡織科技國際有限公司” to “錦藝集團 控股有限公司”.

CONDITIONS FOR THE CHANGE OF COMPANY NAMES

The Change of Company Names is subject to the following conditions having been satisfied:

  1. the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM approving the Change of Company Names; and

  2. the issuance 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 Names 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 all necessary filing procedures with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong.

REASONS FOR THE CHANGE OF COMPANY NAMES

The Board considers that the Change of Company Names will better reflect the Company’s strategic business plan and its direction of future development. The Board believes that the proposed new names can provide the Company with a more appropriate corporate image and identity which will benefit the Company’s future business development and is in the best interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

EFFECTS OF THE CHANGE OF COMPANY NAMES

The Change of Company Names will not affect any of the rights of the existing Shareholders or the Company’s daily business operations or its financial position. All existing share certificates of the Company in issue bearing the current name of the Company will, after the Change of Company Names becoming effective, continue to be good evidence of legal title to such Shares and will continue to be valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes. There will not be any arrangement for free exchange of the existing share certificates of the Company for new share certificates printed in the new names of the Company. Upon the Change of Company Names becoming effective, all new share certificates will only be issued in the new names of the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In addition, subject to the confirmation by the Stock Exchange, the English and Chinese stock short names of the Company for trading in the securities on the Stock Exchange will also be changed after the Change of Company Names becoming effective. Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company in relation to the effective date of the change of the English and Chinese stock short names.

EGM

A notice convening the EGM to be held at Jade Room, 6th Floor, Marco Polo Hongkong Hotel, Harbour City, 3 Canton Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong on Monday, 12 September 2016 at 12:10 p.m. is set forth on pages 6 to 7 of this circular.

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 and return the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon as soon as practicable and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for holding the EGM (or any adjournment thereof) to the office of 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. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the EGM or any adjournment thereof should you so wish and in such event, the instrument appointing a proxy previously submitted shall be deemed to be revoked.

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of Shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll except where the chairman of the general meeting, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted by a show of hands. Accordingly, the resolution as put to vote at the EGM will be taken by way of poll.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The Board considers that the Change of Company Names is in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Board recommends the Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution(s) to approve the Change of Company Names to be proposed at the EGM.

Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company to inform the Shareholders of, among other things, the results of the EGM, the effective date of the Change of Company Names and the new stock short names of the Company for trading of the Shares on the Stock Exchange as and when appropriate.
