To the Shareholders
Dear Sir or Madam,
PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME AND NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this circular is to provide the Shareholders with information in respect of the special resolution to be proposed at the EGM regarding the Change of Company Name and notice for convening the EGM.
PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
The Board proposes to change the English name of the Company from “Excel Development (Holdings) Limited” to “Bisu Technology Group International Limited” and to adopt and register the Chinese name “比速科技集團國際有限公司” as the dual foreign name of the Company to replace the current Chinese name “怡益控股有限公司”.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Conditions for the Change of Company Name
The Change of Company Name is conditional upon the following conditions having been satisfied:
-
the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM approving the Change of Company Name; and
-
the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands granting approval for 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 Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands enters the new English name and dual foreign name of the Company on the register of companies in place of the former English name and dual foreign name and issues a certificate of incorporation on change of name. The Company will then carry out all necessary filing procedures with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong.
In addition, 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 Change of Company Name becomes effective.
Reasons for the Change of Company Name
The Group was engaged in two business segments, (i) the civil engineering and construction business; and (ii) the development, production and sales of automotive engines (the “ Automotive Engines Business ”). Although the downward trend in revenue growth in the civil engineering and construction business that has been seen in recent years has continued, the Group has beaten the industry slackening by injection of a new business field — the Automotive Engines Business. The Board is confident of a good prospect with high and sustainable growth in the investment in the Automotive Engines Business and expects that this business would further strengthen the revenue stream of the Group in near future.
The Board believes that the new name of the Company can demonstrate the Group’s commitment towards the Automotive Engines Business and strengthen the Company’s corporate image and identity, which the Board considers to be in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Effects of the Change of Company Name
Assuming all the conditions set out in the paragraph headed “Conditions for the Change of Company Name” having been fulfilled, the Change of Company Name will take effect from the date of entry of the new English name and dual foreign name 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 Companies Registry in Hong Kong.
The Change of Company Name will not affect any rights of the Shareholders or the Company’s daily business operation or its financial position. All existing share certificates of the Company in issue bearing the current name of the Company will, upon the Change of Company Name becoming effective, continue to be good evidence of legal title to such Shares and will remain valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes. There will not be any arrangement for the 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, all new share certificates will be issued only in the new name of the Company.
In addition, subject to confirmation by the Stock Exchange, the English and Chinese stock short names of the Company for trading in the securities on the Stock Exchange will also be changed after the Change of Company Name becoming effective. Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company in relation to the effective date of the Change of Company Name and details of the change of the English and Chinese stock short names of the Company. EGM A notice convening the EGM to be held at Unit 1103, China Building, 29 Queen’s Road Central, Hong Kong on Monday, 16 January 2017 at 12:00 noon, is set out on pages 6 to 7 of this circular for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing the special resolution approving the Change of Company Name.
A form of proxy for use at the EGM is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you are able to attend the EGM, you are requested to complete and return the enclosed proxy form in accordance with the instructions printed thereon to the Hong Kong branch share registrar and transfer office of the Company, Tricor Investor Services Limited, at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong as soon as possible but in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the EGM or at any adjournment thereof (as the case may be). Completion and return of the proxy form will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the EGM, or at any adjournment thereof (as the case may be) if you so wish.
