LETTER FROM THE BOARD
PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
The Board proposed to change the official registered English name of the Company from ‘‘FDB Holdings Limited’’ to ‘‘Dafy Holdings Limited’’ and its Chinese name from ‘‘豐展控股 有限公司’’ to ‘‘達飛控股有限公司’’.
Conditions of the Proposed Change of Company Name
The Proposed Change of Company Name will be subject to the following conditions:
-
(i) the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders approving the Proposed Change of Company Name at the EGM; and
-
(ii) the approval of the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands having been obtained for the Proposed Change of Company Name.
The relevant filings with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands will be made after the passing of the special resolution at the EGM. Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set out above, the Proposed 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 Chinese name of the Company on the register in place of the existing English name and Chinese name of the Company. Thereafter, the Company will carry out any necessary filing procedures with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong.
Reasons for the Proposed Change of Company Name
The Board considers that the Proposed Change of Company Name will symbolise a new start and refresh the corporate image of the Company. As such, the Board believes that the Proposed Change of Company Name 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 existing Shareholders. All existing share certificates of the Company in issue bearing the current English name and Chinese name of the Company will, after the Proposed Change of Company Name becoming effective, continue to be evidence of title to the Shares and will continue to be valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery for the same number of shares in the new English name and Chinese name of the Company. There will not be any arrangement for free exchange of the existing share certificates of the Company for new share certificates printed in the new English name and Chinese name of the Company. Upon the Proposed Change of Company Name becoming effective, any new share certificates will be issued in the new English name and Chinese name of the Company.
The Company will make further announcement(s) on the effective dates of the Proposed Change of Company Name and the new stock short name of the Company under which the Shares will be traded on the Stock Exchange.
