To the Shareholders
Dear Sir or Madam,
PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
INTRODUCTION
The Board refers to the announcement of the Company dated 3 October 2016 relating to the Change of Company Name. The purpose of this circular is to provide the Shareholders with information in respect of the special resolution to be proposed at the EGM regarding the Change of Company Name and the notice for convening the EGM.
PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
The Board proposes to change the English name of the Company from “Sino Resources Group Limited” to “Elife Holdings Limited”, and adopt the Chinese name of “易生活控股有限公司” as the dual foreign name of the Company in place of its existing Chinese name “神州資源集團有限公司*”.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
CONDITIONS FOR THE CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
The Change of Company Name is subject to the following conditions having been fulfilled:
-
(1) the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM to approve the Change of Company Name; and
-
(2) the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands approving the Change of Company Name.
Subject to the fulfillment of the conditions set out above, the Change of Company Name will take effect from the date on which the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands enters the new English name and dual foreign name in Chinese of the Company on the register of companies maintained by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands and 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.
REASONS FOR THE CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
In the past year, the Company has been striving to search for new businesses, aiming to make a shift from the resources and energy sector to the consumer commodities market. The Company intends to expand its existing trading business to the daily-life commodities market and allocate resources in such market development, and conduct acquisition of related business(es) with potential growth.
On 20 September 2016, the Company announced that it entered into the non-legally binding letter of intent with 中商惠民(北京)電子商務有限公司 (Zhongshang Huimin (Beijing) E-Commerce Co. Ltd.) ( “ Huimin* ” ), pursuant to which the parties committed to establish a long-term strategic cooperation relationship in the areas of procurement and sourcing of overseas products for Huimin and equity investment. In view of the development of the online-to-offline (O2O) platform in the community services, the Company expects that the daily-life consumer commodities business will be the new key performance driver for the Group in the future.
The Board considers that the Change of Company Name will better reflect the direction of the Group’s future business development and provide the Group with a more appropriate identification of its new corporate image. Based on the aforesaid, the Board believes that the Change of Company Name is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
EFFECT OF THE CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
The Change of Company Name will not affect any of the rights of the Shareholders. Other than the change to the English stock short name and the Chinese stock short name to be announced by the Company following the Change of Company Name becoming effective, the trading arrangements for the Shares on the Stock Exchange will not be affected. After the Change of Company Name becomes effective, any new issue of share certificates will be issued in the new English name and the dual foreign name of the Company. All existing share certificates of the Company in issue bearing the existing name of the Company will, after the Change of Company Name becomes effective, remain to be evidence of title to the Shares and will continue to be valid for trading, settlement and registration purposes. Accordingly, there will not be any arrangement for free exchange of the existing share certificates of the Company for new share certificates bearing the new names of the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company in relation to the poll results of the EGM, the effective date of the Change of Company Name and the new stock short names for trading in the shares of the Company as and when appropriate.
EGM
Set out on pages 5 to 6 of this circular is the notice convening the EGM to be held at Room 2502, 25/F., 9 Queen’s Road Central, Central, Hong Kong on Friday, 28 October 2016 at 11:00 a.m.
A form of proxy for use at the EGM is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you are able to attend the EGM, you are requested to complete and return the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon as soon as practicable to the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Tengis Limited at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong and in any event no later than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding of the EGM or any adjourned meeting (as the case may be). Completion and return of the accompanying form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the relevant EGM or any adjourned meeting (as the case may be) thereof should you so wish.
To the best knowledge of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the special resolution at the EGM. The special resolution proposed to be approved at the EGM will be taken by poll. An announcement of the poll results will be made by the Company after the EGM in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.
RECOMMENDATION
The Directors consider that the Change of Company Name is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the special resolution at the EGM to approve the Change of Company Name.
Yours faithfully, By order of the Board
