CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.

Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

To the Shareholders,

Dear Sir/Madam,

PROPOSED CHANGE OF AUDITORS

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 4 December 2008 in relation to the proposed Change of Auditors. The purpose of this circular is to provide you with (i) details of the proposed Change of Auditors; and (ii) the notice of EGM.

PROPOSED CHANGE OF AUDITORS

The Board announced that CCIF has resigned as auditors of the Group with effect from 26 November 2008. The Board proposes to appoint Deloitte as the new auditors of the Group to fill the causal vacancy following the resignation of CCIF. Pursuant to the articles of association of the Company, such appointment has to be approved by the Shareholders at the EGM.

2

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The reason for the change of the Company’s auditors is due to the fact that the Company could not reach consensus with CCIF on the audit fee for the year ending 31 December 2008 which the Board considers it to be in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole.

CCIF has confirmed that there are no circumstances in respect of their resignation which they consider should be brought to the attention of the Shareholders or creditors of the Group. To the best knowledge of the Directors, there are also no circumstances connected with the Change of Auditors which they consider should be brought to the attention of the Shareholders or creditors of the Group.

CCIF has not yet commenced any audit work on the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries for the financial year ending 31 December 2008. It is expected that the Change of Auditors of the Company will not affect the audit and the release of the annual results of the Company for the financial year ending 31 December 2008.

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

This circular, for which the Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the GEM Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that, to the best of their knowledge and belief:

  • (1) the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading;

  • (2) there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement in this circular misleading; and

  • (3) all opinions expressed in this circular have been arrived at after due and careful consideration and are founded on bases and assumptions that are fair and reasonable.

PROCEDURES FOR DEMANDING A POLL BY THE SHAREHOLDERS

Article 66 of the Company’s articles of association sets out the procedures by which Shareholders of the Company may demand a poll.

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 Shareholders present in person or in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation by its duly authorised representative or by proxy for the time being entitled to vote at the meeting; or

3

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (c) by a Shareholder of Shareholders present in person or in the case of a Shareholder 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 Shareholders having the right to vote at the meeting; or

  • (d) by a Shareholder or Shareholders present in person or in the case of a Shareholder 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.

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

ACTION TO BE TAKEN

Set out on pages 5 to 6 of this circular is a notice convening the EGM to consider and if thought fit, to approve the ordinary resolution relating to the proposed Change of Auditors. A form of proxy for use at the EGM is enclosed herewith. Whether or not you intend to attend and vote at the EGM, you are requested to complete and return the enclosed form of proxy to the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at Rooms 1806-7, 18th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong in accordance with the instructions printed thereon as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the EGM or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the EGM or any adjournment thereof should you so wish.

RECOMMENDATION

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of the board of directors of Melco LottVentures Limited CHAN Sek Keung, Ringo Chairman
