CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET (“GEM”) OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE “STOCK EXCHANGE”)
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate 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. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of the GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.
Given the emerging nature of companies listed on the GEM, 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.

Ms. Au Man Yi Professor Lam Sing Kwong Simon Mr. Ong Chi King

To the Shareholders
Dear Sir or Madam,
(1) PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME AND
(2) NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
INTRODUCTION
Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 30 December 2015 in relation to the Proposed Change of Company Name.
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information reasonably necessary to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the special resolution to be proposed at the EGM for the approval of the Proposed Change of Company Name.
PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 30 December 2015, the Board proposed to change the English name of the Company from “King Force Security Holdings Limited” to “King Force Holdings Limited” and the Chinese name of the Company from “冠 輝保安控股有限公司” to “冠輝控股有限公司”.
– 2 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Nonetheless, thereafter it has come to the Board’s notice that the proposed new English name “King Force Holdings Limited” is not available for registration in the Cayman Islands. Therefore, the Board has determined to change the English name of the Company to “King Force Group Holdings Limited” and adopt the Chinese name “冠輝集團控股有限公司” as the new 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 fulfillment of the following conditions:
-
(i) the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders to approve 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 entry of the new English name and dual foreign name in Chinese of the Company on the register of companies maintained by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands. The Company will then carry out all necessary filing procedures with the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong regarding the Proposed Change of Company Name correspondingly.
Reasons for the Proposed Change of Company Name
The Board considers that the proposed new name of the Company will reflect the existing business of the Company after the completion of the acquisition of Magn Investment Limited as disclosed in the announcements of the Company dated 19 October 2015 and 24 November 2015, i.e. the manned security guarding business and mobile game business. The Board is therefore of the opinion that the Proposed Change of Company Name is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Effect of the Proposed Change of Company Name
The Proposed Change of Company Name will not affect any rights of the existing Shareholders. All existing share certificates of the Company in issue bearing the present name of the Company shall, after the Proposed Change of Company Name becoming effective, continue to be evidence of title to such shares and valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purpose. Accordingly, there will not be any arrangement for the exchange of the existing share certificates for new certificates bearing the new English and Chinese names of the Company. Once the Proposed Change of Company Name becomes effective, any new share certificates thereafter will be issued only in the new English and Chinese names of the Company.
Subject to the confirmation of the Stock Exchange, the English and Chinese stock short names of the Company for trading in the Shares on the Stock Exchange will also be changed after the Proposed Change of Company Name becomes effective. Further announcement(s)

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
will be made by the Company to inform the Shareholders of the effective date of the Proposed Change of Company Name and the new English and Chinese stock short names of the Company for trading in the Shares on the Stock Exchange as and when appropriate.
EGM
A notice convening the EGM to be held on Monday, 1 February 2016 at 12:00 noon at Room 1101, 11/F, 118 Connaught Road West, Hong Kong for the purpose of considering, and if thought fit, approving the Proposed Change of Company Name is set out on pages 5 to 6 of this circular.
The special resolution put to vote at the EGM will be decided by way of poll. None of the Shareholders will be required to abstain from voting at the EGM.
A proxy form for use at the EGM is enclosed herewith. Whether or not you are able to attend the EGM in person, you are requested to complete and return the proxy form to the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the EGM or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the proxy form shall not preclude you from attending and voting at the EGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be) should you so wish and, in such event, the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.
RECOMMENDATION
The Directors are of the opinion that the Proposed Change of Company Name is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and accordingly the Board recommends you to vote in favour of the special resolution to be proposed at the EGM.
RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT
This circular, for which the Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the GEM Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.
