To: Shareholders of United Envirotech Ltd.
Dear Sir/Madam
THE PROPOSED CHANGE OF NAME OF THE COMPANY TO "CITIC ENVIROTECH LTD"
1. INTRODUCTION
The Company is convening the EGM to seek the approval of Shareholders for the change of the Company's name from "United Envirotech Ltd." to "CITIC Envirotech Ltd".
The purpose of this Circular is to explain the reasons for, and to provide Shareholders with relevant information relating to, the Proposed Change of Name, as well as to seek Shareholders' approval at the EGM to be held on 30 July 2015 at 10.30 a.m. at Connection 2, Level 3, Amara Hotel, 165 Tanjong Pagar Road, Singapore 088539 (or as soon thereafter following the conclusion / adjournment of the annual general meeting of the Company to be held at 10 a.m. on the same day and at the same place) for the same.
2. THE PROPOSED CHANGE OF NAME OF THE COMPANY
2.1 Rationale
The Company was listed on the SGX-ST on 22 April 2004. The Group is a leading technology driven, membrane-based water and wastewater treatment and reclamation solution provider in China's chemical, petrochemical, industrial park and municipal sectors and has three (3) primary business divisions, being (a) engineering, procurement and construction, (b) investment in water treatment plants, and (c) manufacturing of high performance hollow fibre membrane.
Following the closure of the Offer and its subsequent increase in stake in CKM (Cayman) Company, CITIC Environment Investment Group Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of CITIC, is now the major shareholder of the Company. CITIC is the largest conglomerate in the PRC with businesses that include financial services, resources and energy, manufacturing, real estate and infrastructure, engineering contracting, and other businesses in the PRC and overseas. The Proposed Change of Name will better reflect the Group's ties
to CITIC and will more accurately represent the Company's current corporation profile and future business direction. The Proposed Change of Name will allow the public and the Company's business partners to better identify with the Company under this new name.
The Proposed Change of Name is in the interest of the Group and Shareholders and will not affect any of the rights of Shareholders or the Group's operations and financial position.
2.2 Approvals
The Proposed Change of Name will be proposed as a special resolution at the EGM and is subject to Shareholders' approval. The Company has made an application to ACRA for the change of name from "United Envirotech Ltd." to "CITIC Envirotech Ltd" and ACRA has given its approval, with the proposed name of "CITIC Envirotech Ltd" being reserved for a period expiring on 21 July 2015. The Company will be making a further application to ACRA to extend the reservation of name for a further period in due course.
2.3 Administrative Procedures
Subject to the approval of Shareholders and registration by ACRA, the Company shall change its name from "United Envirotech Ltd." to "CITIC Envirotech Ltd", and the name of "United Envirotech Ltd." shall be substituted with "CITIC Envirotech Ltd" wherever the former name appears in the Memorandum and Articles of Association. Apart from the substitution of the Company's name, no amendments will be made to the Memorandum and Articles of Association.
The Company will make an announcement when the change of the Company's name takes effect. Shareholders should note that the change of the Company's name does not affect the identity or legal status of the Company or any of the rights or obligations of the Company or any of the rights of Shareholders, and the existing Shares will continue to be traded on the SGX-ST.
2.4 Existing Share Certificates
Shareholders should note that notwithstanding the change of the Company's name, the Company will not recall existing share certificates which will continue to be prima facie evidence of legal title. No further action would be required on the part of Shareholders.
