LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Company, being “中國林大資源集團有限公司”(which was adopted for identification purpose), will no longer be adopted. The Change of Company Name is to reflect the focus of the business of the Group on the green resources business.
The Change of Company Name is subject to:
-
(a) the passing of a special resolution to approve the Change of Company Name at the SGM of the Company; and
-
(b) the grant of the approval for Change of Company Name by the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda.
Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set out above, the Change of Company Name will take effect from the date on which the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda enters the new name on the register in place of the existing name. Thereafter, the Company will carry out the necessary filing procedures with the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda (where applicable) and the Companies Registry in Hong Kong. The stock short name of the ordinary shares of the Company will remain unchanged. Further announcement will be made by the Company once the Change of Company Name becomes effective.
The Change of Company Name will not affect any of the rights of the existing Shareholders. All existing share certificates in issue bearing the existing name of the Company will, after the Change of Company Name, continue to be evidence of title to the Shares and will be valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery for the same number of Shares in the new name of the Company. As soon as the Change of Company Name has become effective, any new issue of share certificates will be issued in the new name of the Company. There will be no special arrangement for free exchange of the existing share certificates of the Company for new share certificates printed in the new name of the Company.
SGM
Set out on page 5 and 6 of this circular is a notice convening the SGM to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the special resolution relating to the Change of Company Name.
