3. Resolution 1 – Change of Company Name
3.1 General
Section 157(1)(a) of the Corporations Act provides that a company may change its name by passing a special resolution adopting a new name.
Resolution 1 seeks the approval of Shareholders for the Company to change its name to "Fatfish Blockchain Limited".
In 2014, the Company was reinstated to official quotation under the name "Fatfish Internet Group Limited", following its re-compliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules. Since 2014, the Company has focused on identifying, investing and assisting in building early-stage and growth-stage internet and IT companies with a focus on the mobile technology and e- commerce sectors. The Company's long term strategic focus on investments is in the blockchain and cryptocurrency sectors. Accordingly, the Board considers that the adoption of a new Company name at this point more appropriately reflects the Company's long term strategic focus.
The proposed name has been reserved by the Company with ASIC. If Resolution 1 is passed the change of name will take effect when ASIC alters the details of the Company's registration.
3.2 Other information
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
Resolution 1 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.
