Dear Sir or Madam,

AND
NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Subsequent to the completion of the acquisition of the entire equity interests in Wealth Gain Global Investment Ltd. by the Group on 31 March 2008, the Board believes that the change of the Company name will benefit its future business development as the new name will better reflect the recent expansion and diversification of the Company business. The Board is also of the view that the new name can refresh the Company’s corporate image and identity.
CONDITIONS
The proposed change of Company name is conditional upon the following:
-
(i) the approval of the Shareholders by passing a special resolution at the EGM; and
-
(ii) the approval of the proposed new name of the Company by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands.
Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set out above, the new name of the Company will take effect from the date on which the certificate on change of name is issued by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands. The Company will further carry out the necessary filing procedures with the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong.
EFFECTS OF CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
The 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 certificates of securities in issue bearing the present name of the Company shall, after the proposed change of Company name becoming effective, continue to be evidence of title to such securities and the existing share certificate will continue to be valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes. There will not be any arrangement for exchange of the existing certificates of securities for new share certificates bearing the new name of the Company. Once the change of Company name becomes effective, new share certificates will be issued only in the new name of the Company.
RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR
In accordance with article no. 86(3) of the Articles, Mr. Hung Chen, Richael (“Mr. Hung”) shall hold office until the EGM and, being eligible, offer himself for re-election as Director at the EGM.
Details of Mr. Hung are set out in the Appendix to this circular.
