To Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

(1) PROPOSED CHANGE OF THE COMPANY NAME; AND (2) NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 28 October 2014 in relation to, among other matters, the Proposed Change of the Company Name. The purpose of this circular is to give you details in respect of, among other matters, the Proposed Change of the Company Name and to give you the notice of EGM in order to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution to be proposed at the EGM.

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 28 October 2014, the Board proposed to change the name of the Company from ‘‘China Water Property Group Limited’’ to ‘‘China City Infrastructure Group Limited’’ and the Chinese name ‘‘中國水務地產集團有限公 司’’ to ‘‘中國城市基礎設施集團有限公司’’, subject to the conditions as set out in the paragraph headed ‘‘Conditions of Proposed Change of Company Name’’ below.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Conditions of the Proposed Change of Company Name

The Proposed Change of the Company Name will be subject to the following:

  1. the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders at the forthcoming EGM to approve the Proposed Change of the Company Name; and

  2. any necessary approval of the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands in relation to the Proposed Change of the Company Name being obtained.

The relevant filing with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands will be made after the passing of the special resolution at the EGM. Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set out above, the Proposed Change of the Company Name will take effect from the date of entry of the new name on the register 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.

Reasons for the Proposed Change of Company Name

The Group is principally engaged in the businesses of property investment, property development, hotel business and property management. With further development and expansion of the business scope of the Group, and as a natural diversification of existing businesses of the Group, the Board considered that the Proposed Change of Company Name will reflect the future strategy of the Group to develop its infrastructure business, which is related to and complementary with the existing businesses of the Group. In addition, the new name may also refresh the Company’s corporate image and identity.

The Board is of the opinion that the Proposed Change of Company Name will benefit the Company’s future business development and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Effects of the Proposed Change of Company Name

The Proposed Change of the Company Name will not affect any rights of the holders of securities of the Company or the Company’s daily business operation and/or financial position.

All existing certificates of securities in issue bearing the present name of the Company shall, after the Proposed Change of the Company Name becoming effective, continue to be evidence of title to such securities and the existing share certificates will continue to be valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes. There will not be any arrangement for exchange of the existing certificates of securities for new share certificates bearing the new name of the Company. Once the change of the Company name becomes effective, new share certificates will be issued only in the new name of the Company.
