To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

AND NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide Shareholders with information in respect of the resolution to be proposed at the EGM for the approval of the Proposed Change of Company Name.

— 2 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Board proposes to change the English name of the Company from “ArtGo Mining Holdings Limited” to “ArtGo Holdings Limited” with the Chinese name of the Company changing from “雅高礦業控股有限公司” to “雅高控股有限公司”.

Conditions for the Proposed Change of Company Name

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

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

  • (ii) the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands approving the Proposed Change of Company Name.

Subject to the satisfaction of the above conditions, the Proposed Change of Company Name will take effect from the date of passing the special resolution approving the Proposed Change of Company Name. The Company will carry out all necessary registration and/or filling procedures with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands and the Companies Registry in Hong Kong.

If the Proposed Change of Company Name becomes unconditional, the Company will make further announcement(s) as and when appropriate in relation to the effective date of the change of name of the Company and the new stock short name of the Company.

Reasons for the Proposed Change of Company Name

  1. The Group is a branded marble producer with the largest marble mine and distribution network in China. The Company plans to fully extend its business model, from upstream of mining to a vertically-integrated operation which covers the whole industry-chain. The midstream refers to the self-owned processing plant which is located near the mine in Jiangxi Province, the PRC and is under construction; the downstream refers to all the current direct sale and distribution channels of the Company. As of 30 June 2014, the Company has engaged 94 distributors, covering 80 cities across 29 provinces and municipalities in the PRC. Our marble distribution network was the largest in the PRC. The Company plans to develop its e-commerce channel by tapping into the retail market in 2015, and will operate with a brand-oriented model with its marble resources as a backup to the business.

  2. The “ArtGo” brand will be mainly used for premier construction project products to developers and constructors of major real-estate projects in the future.

  3. The Company will commence to use a new brand in 2015 for selling its new products mainly to the retail market in the PRC, with a focus on the high-end affluent population, to provide them with diversified and standardized products, covering standard cut-to-size marble slabs, asymmetric slabs, bathroom and household products, as well as one-stop interior solutions.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. The objective of the Group is to transform itself from a mineral company into a consumer goods company with a fashionable brand for household products, whilst keeping its upstream mining operation.

The Board considers that the Proposed Change of Company Name will provide a more accurate corporate identity and image for the Company, and better reflect its future business development and focus of the Group.

Effects of the Proposed Change of Company Name

The Proposed Change of Company Name will not affect any rights of the holders of securities of the Company. The existing certificates of securities in issue bearing the present name of the Company will, after the Proposed Change of Company Name becomes effective, continue to be evidence of title to such securities and the existing certificates of securities will continue to be valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes. There will not be any arrangement for exchange of the existing certificates of securities for new certificates bearing the new name of the Company. Should the Proposed Change of Company Name become effective, any new certificates of securities will be issued only in the new name of the Company.

EGM

A notice of the EGM is set out on pages 6 to 7 of this circular.

Pursuant to the Listing Rules and the Articles of Association, any vote of shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll. An announcement on the poll vote results will be published by the Company after the EGM in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

A form of proxy for use at the EGM is enclosed with this circular and such form of proxy is also published on the websites of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (http://www.hkexnews.hk) and the Company (www.artgo.cn). To be valid, the form of proxy must be completed and signed in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and deposited, together with the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed or a notarially certified copy of that power of attorney or authority at the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 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 the EGM or any adjournment thereof. Completion and delivery of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting at the EGM if you so wish and, in such event, the form of proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.
