CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GEM OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE
The 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 the GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on the 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 the GEM.

(3) NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
1. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding the resolutions to be proposed at the EGM relating to (i) the Proposed Change of Company Name and (ii) the proposed adoption of the New Memorandum and Articles of Association, and to give you notice of the EGM.
- 5 -
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
2. PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 27 May 2022 in relation to the Proposed Change of Company Name and the proposed adoption of the New Memorandum and Articles of Association.
The Board proposes to change the existing English name of the Company from “Nomad Technologies Holdings Limited” to “Michong Metaverse (China) Holdings Group Limited” and adopt the Chinese name of “米虫元宇宙(中國)控股集團有限公司” as the dual foreign name of the Company.
Conditions of the Proposed Change of Company name
The Proposed Change of Company Name will be subject to the following conditions being fulfilled:
-
(a) approval of the Shareholders by way of a special resolution at the EGM to approve the Proposed Change of Company Name; and
-
(b) the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands issuing a certificate of incorporation on change of name.
Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set out above, the Proposed Change of Company Name will take effect from the date on which the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands enters the new English name in place of the former English name of the Company and the dual foreign name in Chinese of the Company on the register of companies and issues a certificate of incorporation on change of name. The Company will then carry out the necessary filing 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 Proposed Change of Company Name
The Company is an investment holding company and the Group is principally engaged in rendering of: (i) network support services mainly encompassing network infrastructure design and hardware installation, network management and security services; (ii) network connectivity services that focus on providing intranet and internet connectivity solutions and value-added services; and (iii) electronic commerce ( “E-Commerce” ).
As mentioned in the Company’s third quarterly report for the nine months ended 31 March 2022 dated 13 May 2022, the Group will allocate more resources in the markets in the PRC, explore various opportunities and expand its existing business in the PRC, including but not limited to the network connectivity services and E-Commerce. Accordingly, the Board considers that the Proposed Change of Company Name will better reflect the current status of the Company’s strategic business plan and its direction of future development.
The Board believes that the new name can provide the Company with a more appropriate corporate image and identity which will benefit the Company’s business development. As such, the Board considers that the Proposed Change of Company Name is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
- 6 -
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Effects of the Proposed Change of Company Name
The Proposed Change of Company Name will not affect any of the rights of the Shareholders or the Company’s daily business operation and financial position.
All existing share certificates of the Company in issue bearing the existing name of the Company will, after the Proposed Change of Company Name becoming effective, continue to be effective and as documents of title to the Shares and will continue to be valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes.
Accordingly, there will not be any arrangement for free exchange of the existing share certificates for new share certificates bearing the new name of the Company. Upon the Proposed Change of Company Name becoming effective, new share certificates of the Company will be issued under the new name of the Company.
The Board intends to change the English stock short name and adopt the Chinese stock short name of the Company accordingly after the Proposed Change of Company Name becomes effective, subject to the confirmation of the Stock Exchange.
