LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

As announced by the Company on 2 March 2015, the Board proposes to put forward a special resolution at the EGM to change the English name of the Company from “Sino Distillery Group Limited” to “China Beidahuang Industry Group Holdings Limited” and the Chinese name of the Company from “中國釀酒集團有限公司” to “中國北大荒產業集團控股有限公司”.

Reasons for the Change of Company Name

The Board considers that the Change of Company Name is to be in line with the Company’s corporate strategy of expanding its business and promoting further development of the Company. The Company expects to obtain more business and development opportunities in the future.

The Board believes that the new Company name can provide the Company with a more appropriate identity and image that will benefit the Company’s future business development and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Conditions for the Change of Company Name

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

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

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

Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set out above, the Change of Company Name will take effect from the date on which the certificate of incorporation on change of name is issued by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands. The Company will further carry out the necessary filing procedures with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong. In addition, subject to the confirmation of the Stock Exchange, the stock short name for trading in the Shares will also be changed after the Change of Company Name becoming effective.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Effects of the Change of Company Name

The Change of Company Name will not affect any of the rights of the Shareholders. All existing share certificates of the Company in issue bearing the existing name of the Company will, after the 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 Change of Company Name becoming effective, new share certificates of the Company will be issued under the new name of the Company.

Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company in relation to the results of the EGM, the effective date of the Change of Company Name and the new stock short name for trading in the Shares as and when appropriate.

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR

In accordance with Article 99 of the Articles, Mr. Ho Man Fai will retire and, being eligible, will offer himself for re-election as an independent non-executive Director at the EGM.

Requisite details of Mr. Ho Man Fai are set out as follows:

Mr. HO Man Fai , aged 50, was appointed as independent non-executive Director by the Board on 17 February 2015. He is currently the chairman of California Restaurant. Mr. Ho has extensive experience in catering and management. He is a director of New Territories General Chamber of Commerce, a director of Hong Kong Food Science and Technology Association Limited, a director of Yuen Long Merchants Education Promotion Limited, a school manager of Yuen Long Merchants Association Primary School and general affairs officer of Hong Kong Love & Care Charity Foundation Limited. Other than his independent non-executive directorship with the Company, Mr. Ho did not hold any directorship in any listed public companies in the last three years. Mr. Ho does not have any relationships with any Directors, senior management or substantial or controlling shareholders of the Company for the purpose of the Listing Rules. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Ho has a personal interest of 500,000 Shares and holds 500,000 share options granted by the Company. Save as disclosed above, Mr. Ho has no interest in the Shares or underlying Shares within the meaning of Part XV of the SFO.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Mr. Ho entered into a letter of appointment with the Company for a term of 3 years commencing from 17 February 2015 and is subject to retirement by rotation and re-election pursuant to the Articles. He is entitled to an annual emolument of HK$50,000 as independent nonexecutive Director which is determined by the Board by reference to his duties and responsibilities with the Company, the Company’s remuneration policy and the remuneration committee’s recommendation.

There is no information required to be disclosed pursuant to the requirements as set out in Rule 13.51(2)(h) to (v) of the Listing Rules and there are no other matters that need to be brought to the attention of the Shareholders in respect of Mr. Ho’s re-election.

EGM

A notice convening the EGM to be held at Unit 1001E, 10/F, East Ocean Centre, 98 Granville Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong on Friday, 10 April 2015 at 10:30 a.m. or any adjournment is set out on pages 8 to 9 of this circular. Resolutions will be proposed to approve, inter alia, the Change of Company Name and the re-election of Director.

A form of proxy for use at the EGM is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you intend to attend the EGM in person, you are requested to complete and return the form of proxy enclosed in accordance with the instructions printed thereon to the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Tengis Limited, at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the EGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be). Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the EGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be) should you so wish.

VOTING BY POLL

Article 80 of the Articles provides that at any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless a poll is demanded. However, under Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of the shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll except where the chairman of the meeting, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. Accordingly, the Directors intend that the Chairman of the EGM shall demand voting of the resolutions put forward at the EGM by way of poll.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors, having made all reasonable enquires, 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.
