To Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

(1) PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME; (2) PROPOSED INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL; AND

(3) NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 25 January 2021 in relation to, inter alia, the Proposed Change of Company Name and the Proposed Increase in Authorised Share Capital.

– 4 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As announced in the Company’s announcement dated 25 January 2021, the Board proposes to change the English name of the Company from “CT Vision (International) Holdings Limited” to “CT Vision S.L. (International) Holdings Limited”, and the dual foreign name in Chinese of the Company from “中天宏信(國際)控股有限公司” to “中天順 聯(國際)控股有限公司”. The Board also proposes to increase the authorised share capital of the Company from HK$10,000,000 divided into 1,000,000,000 Shares to HK$15,600,000 divided into 1,560,000,000 Shares by the creation of 560,000,000 additional Shares, which will, upon issue and being fully paid, rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares in issue.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information on the Proposed Change of Company Name and the Proposed Increase in Authorised Share Capital, and the notice of the EGM.

REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

As a long term strategic partner of Zhejiang Shunlian, the Company has entered into a licensing agreement with Zhejiang Shunlian, pursuant to which Zhejiang Shunlian has granted the Group the licence, at nil-consideration and on a royalty-free basis, for the use of Zhejiang Shunlian’s company name and the name, registered trademark and brand of Shunlian (順聯).

As the Group intends to develop the e-commerce procurement business through the Joint Venture, the Group considers the Proposed Change of Company Name would reflect the corporate status of the Group as a long term strategic partner of Zhejiang Shunlian, which may facilitate the development of the e-commerce procurement business in the PRC by leveraging on the reputation of Zhejiang Shunlian in enhancing the Group’s position on supply availability and pricing position with customers and suppliers in the PRC. The Board believes that the new name will benefit the Company’s business development and is in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

CONDITIONS OF THE PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Proposed Change of Company Name is subject to the following conditions:

  • (a) the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders to approve the Proposed Change of Company Name at the EGM; and

  • (b) the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands approving the Proposed Change of Company Name by issuing a certificate of incorporation on change of name.

Subject to the satisfaction of all the conditions set out above, the Proposed Change of Company Name will take effect from the date on which the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands issues the certificate of incorporation on change of name. Thereafter, the Company will carry out all necessary filing procedures with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong under the Companies Ordinance.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Proposed Change of Company Name will not affect any rights of the holders of securities of the Company or the Company’s daily business operation and its financial position. All existing share certificates in issue bearing the present name of the Company will, after the Proposed Change of Company Name becoming effective, continue to be evidence of title to such securities and the existing share certificate of the Company will continue to be valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes. There will not be any arrangement for free exchange of the existing share certificates of securities for new share certificates bearing the new name of the Company. Once the Proposed Change of Company Name becomes effective, new certificates of securities will be issued only in the new name of the Company.

In addition, subject to the confirmation by the Stock Exchange, the English and Chinese stock short names of the Company for trading in the securities on the Stock Exchange will also be changed after the Proposed Change of Company Name becomes effective.

PROPOSED INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL

As announced in the Company’s announcement dated 25 January 2021, the Board proposes to increase the authorised share capital of the Company from HK$10,000,000 divided into 1,000,000,000 Shares to HK$15,600,000 divided into 1,560,000,000 Shares by the creation of 560,000,000 additional Shares, which will, upon issue and being fully paid, rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares in issue.

With the establishment of the Joint Venture, the Board considers the Company may require additional working capital to facilitate the development of the e-commerce business. As such, the Proposed Increase in Authorised Share Capital will provide the Company with greater flexibility for fundraising by allotting and issuing new Shares in the future as and when appropriate for fundraising, future investment opportunities and other corporate purposes.

The Proposed Increase in Authorised Share Capital is subject to the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders to approve the Proposed Increase in Authorised Share Capital at the EGM.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company was HK$10,000,000 divided into 1,000,000,000 Shares, of which 760,830,000 Shares were in issue.

EGM

The Proposed Change of Company Name and the Proposed Increase in Authorised Share Capital are to be considered and, if thought fit, approved by the Shareholders by way of special resolution and ordinary resolution respectively, at the EGM to be held on Tuesday, 23 February 2021 at 10:00 a.m..

– 6 –

The voting in relation to the Proposed Change of Company Name and the Proposed Increase in Authorised Share Capital at the EGM will be conducted by poll.
