LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The purpose of this circular is to provide the Shareholders with, among other things, information regarding (i) the Proposed Change of Company Name; and (ii) the notice of the Meeting, at which a special resolution on the Proposed Change of Company Name will be proposed.
PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
The Board proposed to change the English name of the Company from “Youth Champ Financial Group Holdings Limited” to “Goldstone Capital Group Limited” and to adopt and register the Chinese name of “金石資本集團有限公司” as the secondary name of the Company to replace its existing secondary name of “優創金融集團控股有限公司”.
Reasons for the Proposed Change of Company Name
The Board is of the view that the Proposed Change of Company Name will clearly reflect the future strategic positioning and business development of the Company, and the Board believes that the new corporate image of the Company will be beneficial to the current and future business expansion and brand building of the Company. Accordingly, the Board considers that the Proposed Change of Company Name is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Conditions of the Proposed Change of Company Name
The Proposed Change of Company Name is subject to the following conditions:
-
(i) passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders to approve the Proposed Change of Company Name at the Meeting; and
-
(ii) approval of the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda for the Proposed Change of Company Name.
The relevant filings with the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda will be made after the passing of the special resolution at the Meeting to be held by the Company. The Proposed Change of Company Name will take effect after satisfaction of the above conditions and from the date of entry of the new English and Chinese names of the Company into the register of companies maintained by the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda in place of the existing names. The Registrar of Companies in Bermuda shall issue a certificate of change of name of the Company and a certificate of secondary name of the Company. The Company will then carry out all necessary filing or registration procedures with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong pursuant to Part 16 of the Companies Ordinance (Chapter 622 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Effects of the Proposed Change of Company Name
The Proposed Change of Company Name will not, of itself, affect the rights of any Shareholder. All existing share certificates of the Company bearing the existing names of the Company will, after the Proposed Change of Company Name becomes effective, continue to be evidence of legal title to the Shares and valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes. All new share certificates of the Company issued after the Proposed Change of Company Name becomes effective will bear the new names. As such, there will be no arrangement for free exchange of the existing share certificates for new share certificates.
Subject to the confirmation of the Stock Exchange and the Proposed Change of Company Name becoming effective, the English and Chinese stock short names of the Company for trading in the securities on the Stock Exchange will also be changed.
The Company will make further announcements on the Proposed Change of Company Name and the change in stock short names once the Proposed Change of Company Name becomes effective. The Proposed Change of Company Name will not affect the Company’s daily business operation and its financial position.
IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES
To the best knowledge of the Directors and having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholders will be required to abstain from voting on the resolution regarding the Proposed Change of Company Name at the Meeting.
SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING
The Company will convene the Meeting at Unit 503, 5th Floor, Greenfield Tower, Concordia Plaza, 1 Science Museum Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong on Tuesday, 28 June 2022 at 10:30 a.m. to consider and if thought fit, to approve the Proposed Change of Company Name at the Meeting.
A special resolution will be put to the vote by poll at the Meeting pursuant to the Listing Rules, 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 in accordance with the note to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules. The Company will publish an announcement on the results of the poll in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.
