The Company announced on 13 April 2004 that the Board proposed to change the name of the Company to “Sinochem Hong Kong Holdings Limited” and adopt “中化香港控股有限公 司 ” as the Chinese name of the Company for identification purposes.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED CHANGE OF NAME

The Board proposed that the name of the Company be changed to “Sinochem Hong Kong Holdings Limited”, subject to the satisfaction of those conditions described in the following section headed “Conditions”. The Board also proposed to adopt “中化香港控股有限公司 ” as the Chinese name of the Company for identification purposes and for registration with the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong with effect from the date on which the change of name of the Company takes effect, subject to the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong granting the relevant approval.

The proposed change of name is intended to reflect that the Company had undergone a change of its single largest shareholder since the beginning of February 2004 as disclosed in its announcement dated 2 February 2004. As at the date of this circular, Sinochem Hong Kong (Holdings) Co., Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Sinochem Corporation which itself is a state-owned enterprise in the People’s Republic of China, is the single largest shareholder of the Company interested in approximately 21.18% of its issued ordinary share capital and a total of 103 unlisted convertible redeemable non-voting preference shares with a nominal value of HK$1,000,000 each in the Company.

CONDITIONS

The change of the corporate name of the Company is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

  • (a) the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders to approve the change of name at the Special General Meeting; and

  • (b) the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda granting approval for the change of name.

The change of name of the Company will take effect on the date on which the new name is entered by the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda on the register in place of the existing name. Further announcement will be made when the change of name becomes effective.

EFFECT

The change of name of the Company will not affect the rights of any shareholders. All share certificates in issue bearing the existing name of the Company will, after the change of name of the Company, continue to be evidence of title to the shares to which they respectively relate and will continue to be valid for trading, settlement and delivery for the corresponding number of shares in the new name of the Company. There will not be any arrangement for free exchange of existing share certificates for new share certificates under the new name. Once the change of name of the Company becomes effective, all share certificates of the Company will be issued in the new name of the Company. Details concerning the trading arrangements of Shares in the new name of the Company will be contained in a further announcement of the effective date of the change of name.

A form of proxy is also enclosed. Whether or not you are able to attend and vote at the Special General Meeting, you are requested to complete the enclosed proxy form and return it to the principal place of business of the Company in Hong Kong at Unit 4603, 46th Floor, Office Tower, Convention Plaza, 1 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the Special General Meeting.
