CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and midsized 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

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information relating to the resolution to be proposed at the EGM in respect of the proposed Change of Company Name.

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

Reference is made to the Joint Announcement. The Board proposes to change the English name and the dual foreign name in Chinese of the Company from ‘‘Global Dining Holdings Limited’’ and ‘‘環球美食控股有限公司’’ to ‘‘Global Uin Intelligence Holdings Limited’’ and

LETTER FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

‘‘環球友飲智能控股有限公司’’ respectively. The proposed Change of Company Name is subject to approval by the Shareholders and the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands.

REASONS FOR THE CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Board believes that the proposed Change of Company Name will better reflect the direction of the Group’s future development. The Board considers that the proposed Change of Company Name would provide a clear identification to the market and general public, which will in turn provide the Company with a new corporate image and which will be beneficial to the Company’s future business development and is in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

CONDITIONS FOR THE CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Change of Company Name will become effective subject to the satisfaction of all of the following conditions:

  1. the approval by the Shareholders by way of special resolution at the EGM; and

  2. the approval by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands on the Change of Company Name.

Subject to the satisfaction 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 in place of the former English name and the dual foreign name in Chinese of the Company and issues a certificate of incorporation on change of name. Thereafter, the Company will carry out all necessary filing procedures with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands and the Companies Registry in Hong Kong.

EFFECT ON THE CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Change of Company Name will not affect any rights of the Shareholders or the Company’s daily business operation and its financial position.

All existing share certificates in issue bearing the present name of the Company will, after the proposed Change of Company Name becoming effective, continue to be evidence of title to such shares and the existing share certificates will continue to be valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes. There will not be any arrangement for free exchange of the existing share certificates 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.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

In addition, subject to the confirmation by the Stock Exchange, the English stock short name and the Chinese stock short name for trading of the Shares on GEM of the Stock Exchange will also be changed to Global Uin and 環球友飲 respectively after the proposed Change of Company Name becomes effective.

ENTITLEMENT TO ATTEND AND VOTE AT THE EGM

In order to be entitled to attend and vote at the EGM, all transfer documents accompanied by the relevant share certificates must be lodged with the Hong Kong branch share registrar and transfer office of the Company, Boardroom Share Registrars (HK) Limited, at 2103B, 21/F, 148 Electric Road, North Point, Hong Kong, for registration no later than 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, 24 November 2022. Shareholders whose names appear on the Company’s register of members on Thursday, 24 November 2022 will be eligible to attend and vote at the EGM.

EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

The EGM will be held at 120 Lower Delta Road #12–06 Cendex Centre Singapore 169208 on Wednesday, 30 November 2022 at 2 p.m. for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the proposed Change of Company Name. The notice convening the EGM is set out on pages 6 to 7 of this circular.

A proxy form for the EGM is enclosed herewith. Whether you are able to attend the EGM or not, you are requested to complete the enclosed proxy form in accordance with the instructions printed on it and return the completed proxy form to the Hong Kong branch share registrar and transfer office of the Company, Boardroom Share Registrars (HK) Limited, at 2103B, 21/F, 148 Electric Road North Point, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event so that it is received at least 48 hours (excluding any part of a day that is a public holiday) before the time appointed for the EGM or adjourned meeting (as the case may be). Submission of a proxy form shall not preclude you from attending the EGM (or any adjournment of such meeting) and voting in person should you so wish.

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. Accordingly, the resolution will be voted on by way of a poll at the EGM. The Company will announce the results of the poll in the manner prescribed under Rule 17.47(5) of the GEM Listing Rules.

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Shareholders has any direct or indirect material interest in the proposed Change of Company Name and accordingly, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the special resolution to be proposed at the EGM.
