LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Reasons for the Adoption of English Name
The Board considers that the Adoption of English Name is an important step for enhancing the brand of the Company. The Adoption of English Name will strengthen the cultural recognition of potential overseas industry partners, which will support the following international strategic cooperation of the Company. The English Name will enhance the brand value of the Company within the domestic and overseas capital markets, so as to support the market value of the Company and reduce financing costs which will attract strategic partners by more favorable conditions. At the same time, the Adoption of English Name will also enhance the corporate image and brand reputation of the Company among the cooperative partners. The Board believes that the Adoption of English Name is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Effect of the Adoption of English Name
The Adoption of English Name will not affect any rights of the Shareholders or the Company’s daily business operations and financial position. All existing share certificates of the Company in issue will continue to be evidence of title to such shares after the Adoption of English Name and will continue to be valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes. There will not be any arrangements for exchange of existing share certificates for new share certificates as a result of the Adoption of English Name.
The Company will make further announcement to inform the Shareholders as to when the Adoption of English name becomes effective and on the change of the stock short name of the Company.
