To the Shareholders

Dear Sirs,

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME AND NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding the proposed change of the Company name and a notice convening the SGM.

  • for identification purpose only

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

On 6 July 2012, the Board announced that it proposed to change the Company name from “Wah Nam International Holdings Limited” to “Brockman Mining Limited” and upon the change of name becoming effective, to adopt a new Chinese name “ 布萊克萬礦業有限公 司 ” for identification purposes only in place of the existing Chinese name “ 華南投資控股 有限公司 ” which was previously adopted for identification purposes only. The ticker of the Company for the listing on the ASX Limited is also proposed to change from “WNI” to “BCK”.

REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Group is principally engaged in exploration and development of iron ore mining projects in Western Australia following the completion of the takeover offer of Brockman Resources Limited (“Brockman”) in June 2012 as the Company has now put its main business focus in the Marillana project undertaken by Brockman, the then wholly owned subsidiary of the Company after the compulsory acquisition. The Board considers that the new name, “Brockman Mining Limited” can more accurately reflect the business focus of the Group. The new name will also give the investors and shareholders a more defined corporate image and identity.

The Board is therefore of the opinion that the proposed change of name of the Company is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

CONDITIONS

The proposed change of the Company name is subject to, among other things, (i) approval by the Shareholders by way of a special resolution at the SGM; and (ii) approval by the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda.

The proposed change of the Company name will take effect from the date of entry of the new English name of the Company on the register maintained by the Registrar of Companies of Bermuda. The Company will then carry out all necessary filing procedures with the Registrar of Companies of Bermuda and Hong Kong, as well as with the Australian Securities & Investments Commission in Australia.

EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The proposed change of the Company name will not affect any of the rights of the Shareholders. All existing share certificates in issue bearing the existing English and Chinese names of the Company will, after the proposed change of the Company name

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

becoming effective, continue to be evidence of title to the Shares and will be valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes. Once the proposed change of the Company name becomes effective, any issue of share certificates will be under the new English and Chinese names of the Company. There will be arrangement for free exchange of the existing share certificates of the Company for new share certificates printed in the new name of the Company. Once the change of name becomes effective, Shareholders whom their Shares are recorded under the Hong Kong share registrar, may, if they so wish, during the period of one month, deliver existing share certificates in respect of the Shares held by them to the Hong Kong share registrar of the Company, Tricor Secretaries Limited, at 26/F, Tesbury Centry, 28 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong to exchange at the expense of the Company, for the new share certificates bearing the new name of the Company (one new certificate for each old certificate). After the expiry of such one month period, share certificates of the Company will be accepted for exchange only on payment of a fee of HK$2.50 at the expense of the Shareholders for each certificate cancelled or each new certificate issued, whichever number of certificates cancelled or issued is higher (or such higher amount as may from time to time be allowed by the Stock Exchange). It is expected that the new share certificates will be available for collection within 10 business days from the date of submission of the existing share certificates.

Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company to inform the Shareholders of the effective date of the proposed change of the Company name and the change in stock short name.

SGM

The notice of the SGM is set out on pages 6 to 7 of this circular.

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll. A form of proxy for use at the SGM is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you are able to attend the SGM, you are requested to complete the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the share registrar of the Company, Tricor Secretaries Limited at 26/ F, Tesbury Centry, 28 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong as soon as possible but in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding of the SGM or any adjournment thereof. If your shares in the Company are recorded under the Company’s Australia branch registrar, please complete the Australia proxy form and return it to the Company’s branch share registrar in Australia, Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited. Please read and follow the instructions, including the deadline, on the Australia proxy form to lodge the form. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the SGM or any adjournment thereof if you so wish and in such event, the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.
