NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
INTRODUCTION
Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 7 June 2024. The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding the Proposed Change of Company Name and the notice of EGM.
– 2 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
The Board proposes to change the English name of the Company from ‘‘Huayi Tencent Entertainment Company Limited’’ to ‘‘Hony Media Group’’ and to change the Company’s Chinese Name from ‘‘華誼騰訊娛樂有限公司’’ to ‘‘弘毅文化集團’’.
Conditions for the Proposed Change of Company Name
The Proposed Change of Company Name is subject to (i) the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM to approve the change of the English name of the Company and of Company’s Chinese Name; and (ii) the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands approving such changes of the English name of the Company and the Company’s Chinese Name by issuing a certificate of incorporation on change of name.
Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set out above, the Proposed Change of Name will take effect from the date on which the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands enters the new English name of the Company and the new Company’s Chinese Name on the register of companies maintained by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands. The Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands will issue a certificate of incorporation on change of name. The Company will then 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 of the Company and the website of the Company will also be changed after the Proposed Change of Company Name becoming effective.
Reasons for the Proposed Change of the Company Name
The Group is currently principally engaged in (i) entertainment and media business; (ii) digitized operation services in healthcare industry (i.e. the Echartnow operation); and (iii) smart healthcare services platform (i.e. the Meerkat Health operation).
Following the completion of the Company’s issue of convertible bonds to the affiliates of Hony Capital in March 2024 and the appointment of Mr. ZHAO John Huan (the Chairman of Hony Capital) and Mr. CHENG Wu as the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company respectively, the Group will focus its strategic development in international culture, media and entertainment businesses, with a vision of building a world-leading Global Content Creation Platform.
Mr. ZHAO John Huan, the Chairman of the Board of the Company, states that the Company under the name Hony Media Group, being the strategic collaboration platform for Hony Capital in the cultural industry, will receive continual support and anticipates to continuously lay out and cultivate its new strategic focus and achieve long-term development.
Mr. CHENG Wu, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said that on the basis of continuing the operation of the Group’s existing businesses, the Group will integrate resources from Hony Capital and multi-party cooperation to explore and develop new increments in the global

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
culture, media and entertainment market, and strive to build a global platform for the creation of high-quality content, and these will serve as the core development and strategic growth engine of the Group.
The Board considers that the Proposed Change of Company Name will better reflect the latest strategies and businesses of the Group. Therefore, the Board is of the opinion that the Proposed Change of the Company Name will benefit the future business development of the Group and is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Effect of the Proposed Change of the Company Name
The changes of the English name of the Company and of the Company’s Chinese Name will not, of itself, affect any rights of the Shareholders or the Company’s daily business operation and its financial position. All existing share certificates of the Company in issue bearing the existing name of the Company will, after the change of the English name and the Company’s Chinese Name becoming effective, continue to be effective and as documents of title to the Shares of the Company and will remain 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 Proposed Change of Company Name becoming effective, new share certificates of the Company will be issued under such new names of the Company.
The Company will make further announcement(s) on the results of the EGM, the effective dates of the change of the English name of the Company and the Company’s Chinese Name, the new English and Chinese stock short names of the Company under which Shares of the Company will be traded on the Stock Exchange and the new logo and website of the Company as and when appropriate.
EGM
The EGM will be convened and held for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Proposed Change of Company Name. A notice convening the EGM is set out on pages 6 to 7 of this circular.
A proxy form for use at the EGM is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you propose to attend the meeting, you are requested to complete the accompanying proxy form in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the branch share registrar of the Company in Hong Kong, Tricor Tengis Limited at 17/F, Far East Finance Centre, 16 Harcourt Road, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding of the EGM or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the proxy form will not prevent Shareholders of the Company from attending and voting at the meeting if they so wish.

The chairman of the meeting will demand a poll for the resolution put to the vote at the EGM.
RECOMMENDATION
The Board believes that the Proposed Change of Company Name is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Accordingly, the Directors recommend that all Shareholders should vote in favour of the special resolution as set out in the notice of EGM.

This circular, for which the Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company.
