To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME AND NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information reasonably necessary to enable you to make a decision on whether to vote for or against the special resolution with respect to the Change of Company Name to be proposed at the SGM.

  • For identification purpose only

– 2 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

A notice convening the SGM setting out the details of the special resolution to be proposed at the SGM is set out on pages 6 to 7 of this circular.

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

Following completion of the Group Reorganisation (as defined in the Reorganisation Circular) and the Agreement (as defined in the Reorganisation Circular) which took place on 27 November 2008 (details of which were disclosed in the Reorganisation Circular and the announcement of the Company dated 27 November 2008), there was a change in control of the Company.

On 2 December 2008, the Board announced that it proposed to change the English name of the Company from ‘‘Hantec Investment Holdings Limited’’ to ‘‘Cinda International Holdings Limited’’ and to adopt a secondary name of the Company in Chinese of ‘‘信達 國際控股有限公司’’, subject to the conditions set out below being fulfilled.

The Board believes that the proposed Change of Company Name will provide the Company with a fresh new corporate identity which is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

CONDITIONS

The proposed Change of Company Name is conditional upon (i) the approval by way of a special resolution of the Shareholders in the SGM; and (ii) the approval by the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda. The change of English name and the adoption of a secondary name of the Company in Chinese shall take effect from the respective date on which the new name and the new secondary name of the Company are entered in the register of companies maintained by the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda.

Upon the proposed Change of Company Name becoming effective, the Company will carry out the necessary filing procedures with the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong under Part XI of the Companies Ordinance (Chapter 32, Laws of Hong Kong).

EFFECTS OF CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The proposed Change of Company Name will not affect any of the rights of the Shareholders. Share certificates of the Company will be issued in the new name of the Company on issue of Shares after the change of name has become effective. However, all existing share certificates in issue bearing the existing name of the Company will, after the change of name has become effective, continue to be effective as documents of title and be valid for trading, settlement and registration purposes. There will not be any arrangement for the exchange of the existing share certificates of the Company for new share certificates bearing the new name of the Company.

Subject to the proposed Change of Company Name becoming effective and the filing procedures in Hong Kong having been fulfilled, the Company is expected to be traded in its new name and the English and Chinese stock short names of the Company will also be

changed. Further announcement will be made by the Company to inform the Shareholders of the effective date of the Change of Company Name and the relevant arrangement in respect of the change of stock short names of the Company.

SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

A notice convening the SGM to be held at 45th Floor, COSCO Tower, 183 Queen’s Road Central, Hong Kong on Tuesday, 30 December 2008 at 10: 00 a.m. for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing the resolution set out therein, is set out on pages 6 to 7 of this circular.

A form of proxy for use at the SGM is enclosed. Whether or not you are able to attend the SGM, you are requested to complete the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Secretaries Limited at 26th Floor, Tesbury Centre, 28 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event no later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the SGM or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the enclosed form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at such meeting or any adjournment should you so wish.

PROCEDURES BY WHICH A POLL MAY BE DEMANDED

Bye-law 66 of the Bye-laws of the Company provides that a resolution put to the vote of a meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands or on the withdrawal of any other demand for a poll) a poll is demanded:

  • (a) by the chairman of such meeting; or

  • (b) by at least three members present in person (or in the case of a member being a corporation by its duly authorised representative) or by proxy for the time being entitled to vote at the meeting; or

  • (c) by a member or members present in person (or in the case of a member being a corporation by its duly authorised representative) or by proxy and representing not less than one-tenth of the total voting rights of all members having the right to vote at the meeting; or

  • (d) by a member or members present in person (or in the case of a member being a corporation by its duly authorised representative) or by proxy and holding shares in the Company conferring a right to vote at the meeting being shares on which an aggregate sum has been paid up equal to not less than one-tenth of the total sum paid up on all shares conferring that right; and

  • (e) by a person who is required under the Listing Rules to demand a poll.

A demand by a person as proxy for a member or in case of a member being a corporation by its duly authorised representative shall be deemed the same as a demand by a member.

– 4 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Bye-law 67 provides that unless a poll is duly demanded and the demand is not withdrawn, a declaration by the chairman that a resolution has been carried, or carried unanimously, or by a particular majority, or not carried by a particular majority, or lost, and an entry to that effect made in the minute book of the Company, shall be conclusive evidence of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded for or against the resolution.

In case the SGM is conducted by poll, the result of polling will be announced by the Company as soon as practicable after the SGM.

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the proposed Change of Company Name is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole and accordingly recommend all Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution to be proposed at the forthcoming SGM.
