CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock 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.
Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, 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 or Madam,
PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
AND
NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
INTRODUCTION
Reference is made to (i) the joint announcement dated 18 March 2025; (ii) the composite document dated 8 April 2025, jointly issued by Ever Persist Holdings Limited and the Company; and (iii) the announcement dated 17 April 2025 issued by the Company. The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other matters, further details regarding the Proposed Change of Company Name and to give you notice of the EGM at which a special resolution will be proposed to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the Proposed Change of Company Name.
PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
The Board proposes to change the English name of the Company from "Novacon Technology Group Limited" to "Elephant Holdings Group Limited", and to adopt the dual foreign name of "大象控股集團有限公司" as the Chinese name of the Company in replace of its existing Chinese name of "連成科技集團有限公司".

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Conditions of the Proposed Change of Company Name
The Proposed Change of Company Name is subject to the following conditions:
- the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders approving the Proposed Change of Company Name at the EGM to be convened and held; and
- the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands granting approval for the Proposed Change of Company Name by way of issuing a Certificate of Incorporation on Change of Name.
Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set out above, the Proposed Change of Company Name will take effect upon the date on which the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands enters the new English name and the new dual foreign name in Chinese of the Company in the register of companies maintained by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands in place of the existing names, and issues a Certificate of Incorporation on Change of Name. The Company will then carry out all necessary filing procedures with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong.
Reasons for the Proposed Change of Company Name
Following completion of the acquisition of shares of the Company by Ever Persist Holdings Limited ("Ever Persist") in March 2025 as detailed in the joint announcement of the Company and Ever Persist dated 18 March 2025, Ever Persist and Ms. Di Xiaoguang (the sole legal and beneficial owner of Ever Persist) have become the new controlling shareholders (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) of the Company. The Board believes that the new English name and the new Chinese name of the Company will provide the Company with fresh corporate image. The Board is of the opinion that the Proposed Change of Company Name will benefit the Company's future business development and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Effects of the Proposed Change of Company Name
The Proposed Change of Company Name will not affect any of the rights of the Shareholders. All existing share certificates in issue bearing the Company's existing name shall continue to be evidence of legal title and valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes. Accordingly, there will not be any arrangement for free exchange of existing share certificates for new share certificates bearing the new name of the Company. Once the Proposed Change of Company Name becomes effective, share certificates of the Company will be issued in the new name of the Company.
In addition, subject to the confirmation of the Stock Exchange, the English stock short name and Chinese stock short name for trading in the Shares will also be changed after the Proposed Change of Company Name becomes effective. The stock code of the Company will remain to be "8635".
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
EGM AND PROXY ARRANGEMENT
The EGM Notice is set out on pages 6 to 7 of this circular. At the EGM, a special resolution will be proposed to approve the Proposed Change of Company Name. In compliance with the GEM Listing Rules, the special resolution will be voted by way of poll and the results of the EGM will be published after the EGM.
A form of proxy for use by the Shareholders at the EGM is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you intend to attend and vote at the EGM in person, you are requested to complete and return the enclosed form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon to the Company's branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited at 17/F, Far East Finance Centre, 16 Harcourt Road, Hong Kong as soon as possible but in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the EGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be). Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from subsequently attending and voting at the EGM in person or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be) should you so desire.
VOTING BY WAY OF POLL
Pursuant to Rule 17.47(4) of the GEM Listing Rules, any vote of shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll except where the chairman, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. Therefore, all resolutions as set out in the EGM Notice will be voted by poll and, after being verified by the scrutineer, the results of the poll will be published by the Company in the manner prescribed under Rule 17.47(5) of the GEM Listing Rules.
CLOSURE OF REGISTER OF MEMBERS
