Dear Sir or Madam,
PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME, PROPOSED ADOPTION OF THE NEW SHARE OPTION SCHEME, TERMINATION OF THE EXISTING SHARE OPTION SCHEME AND
NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
1. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding certain resolutions to be proposed at the EGM, including (i) proposed Change of Company Name; and (ii) proposed adoption of the New Share Option Scheme and the termination of the Existing Share Option Scheme.
2. PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 6 September 2021 in relation to the Change of Company Name.
– 3 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Board proposes to change the English name of the Company from ‘‘Vision Fame International Holding Limited’’ to ‘‘Green Economy Development Limited’’ and adopt the Chinese name ‘‘綠色經濟發展有限公司’’ as its new dual foreign name to replace its existing Chinese name ‘‘ ’’ 允升國際控股有限公司 .
Reasons for the Change of Company Name
The Group is principally engaged in (i) provision of building construction services, property maintenance services, alterations, renovation, upgrading and fitting-out works services; and (ii) trading of materials.
Looking ahead, the Group will continue to develop steadily, and positively cope with any challenges and capture suitable opportunities. The Group continue to dedicate to exploiting new business opportunities in other sectors from time to time, and will look into further expansion into green-related business, including but not limited to technologies, finance, construction and energy. The proposed Change of Company Name will better reflect the Group’s future strategic direction.
The Board considers that the Change of Company Name will better reflect the business strategy and future business development of the Company, as well as providing the Company with a new corporate image. As such, the Board believes that the Change of Company Name is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders of the Company as a whole.
Conditions of the Change of Company Name
The Change of Company Name is subject to satisfaction of the following conditions:
-
the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders approving the Change of Company Name at the EGM; and
-
the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands approving 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 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 a certificate of incorporation on change of name. The Company will then carry out the necessary registration and/or filing procedures with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands and the Companies Registry in Hong Kong.
– 4 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Effect of the Change of Company Name
The Change of Company Name will not affect any rights of the Shareholders or the Company’s daily operations or its financial position. Once the Change of Company Name has become effective, any new share certificates of the Company issued thereafter will bear the new name of the Company.
All the existing share certificates in issue bearing the present name of the Company will, after the Change of Company Name having become effective, continue to be effective and valid evidence of legal title to the shares of the Company and will continue to be valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery 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 name of the Company.
In addition, subject to the confirmation by the Stock Exchange, the English and Chinese stock short names of the Company for trading in the securities on the Stock Exchange will also be changed after the Change of Company Name becomes effective.
3. PROPOSED ADOPTION OF NEW SHARE OPTION SCHEME AND TERMINATION OF THE EXISTING SHARE OPTION SCHEME
Termination of the Existing Share Option Scheme
The Existing Share Option Scheme was adopted by the Company on 19 December 2011 and will expire on 18 December 2021. The Board proposes to terminate the Existing Share Option Scheme and adopt the New Share Option Scheme. Apart from the Existing Share Option Scheme, the Company has no other subsisting share option scheme as at the Latest Practicable Date.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, 149,999,998 Existing Options granted under the Existing Share Option Scheme will remain valid and exercisable notwithstanding the proposed termination of the Existing Share Option Scheme. The Existing Options are exercisable during the period from 13 August 2021 to 12 August 2026.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Further details of the Existing Options are set out in the following table:
| Name or Category of participant Date of grant1&2 Exercise price per share (HK$) Michael Ngai Ming Tak 13 August 2021 0.030 Fung Ka Lun 13 August 2021 0.030 Total |
Number of Existing Options as at the Latest Practicable Date 74,999,999 74,999,999 |
|---|---|
| 149,999,998 |
According to the terms of the Existing Share Option Scheme, the Company may by resolution in general meeting or by the Board at any time resolve to terminate the operation of the Existing Share Option Scheme and in such event, no further options will be offered but the provisions of the Existing Share Option Scheme will remain in force to the extent necessary to give effect to the exercise of any Existing Option granted prior to such termination will continue be valid and exercisable in accordance with the Existing Share Option Scheme.
It is proposed that subject to the fulfillment of the conditions of the New Share Option Scheme set out in the section headed ‘‘Conditions of the New Share Option Scheme’’ below, the operation of the Existing Share Option Scheme shall be terminated and the New Share Option Scheme will take effect.
Adoption of the New Share Option Scheme
Subject to the termination of the operation of the Existing Share Option Scheme, the Board proposed the adoption of the New Share Option Scheme, which shall be valid for 10 years from the date of its adoption. The purpose of the New Share Option Scheme is to replace the Existing Share Option Scheme and to attract and retain the best available personnel, to provide additional incentive to employees (full-time and part-time), directors, consultants, advisers, distributors, contractors, suppliers, agents, customers, business partners or service providers of the Group and to promote the success of the business of the Group.
The Board may, at its absolute discretion and on such terms as it may think fit, grant the Options to any employee (full-time or part-time), director, consultant or advisor of any members of the Group, or any distributor, contractor, supplier, agent, customer, business partner or service provider of any members of the Group.
– 6 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Board is of the view that the inclusion of the persons other than the directors and employees of the Group as part of the Participants is appropriate and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, given that the success of the Group requires the co-operation and contribution not only from its directors and employees, but also from various other parties who play an instrumental role in and make actual or potential contribution to the business and development of the Group, which may include consultants, advisors, distributors, contractors, suppliers, agents, customers, business partners or service providers of any members of the Group. As the Group is principally engaged in (i) provision of building construction services, property maintenance services, alterations, renovation, upgrading and fitting-out works services; and (ii) trading of materials, the Board acknowledges the necessity in maintaining the existing business relationships and exploring potential partnerships with the aforesaid stakeholders, being Participants who are not directors or employees of the Group, who have provided services and professional advice and expertise in respect of research, development or other technological support to the Group, so as to maintain the Group’s competitiveness in long term. The Board considers that the Options will offer incentives for the consultants, advisors, distributors, contractors, suppliers, agents, business partners or service providers of any member of the Group to provide continuing efforts to promote the interests of the Group and benefits the long-term growth of the Group. For example, the grant of Options to business partners of the Group would align the interest of the Group and these partners and provide incentive and reward for the participation and involvement in promoting the business of the Group. The grant of Options to consultants, advisors, distributors, contractors, suppliers, agents or service providers of the Group would provide incentive and reward for these grantees to provide better services as well as timely market intelligence to the Group in their capacity as consultants, advisers, distributors, contractors, suppliers, agents or service providers.
Consultants, advisors, distributors, contractors, suppliers, customers or service providers
The inclusion of the consultants, advisors, distributors, contractors, suppliers, customers or service providers that the Company deems important to provide support to the Group as Participants under the New Share Option Scheme leaves sufficient flexibility in the scheme rules in light of the future development and is fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole in the long run because: (a) in a view to enhancing its competitive strength and maintaining its market position, the Company may need external expert consultants or advisors to provide professional insights to various aspects of the business and operation of the Group. Also, along with the growth and development of the Group’s business, the Company may further engage various distributors, contractors, suppliers or service providers to help the Group reduce costs and increase supply and sales efficiency; (b) the suppliers or consultants may provide recommendations and/or advice to the Group in matters including but not limited to strategic management, business research and development, technological support and professional consulting services, so as to contribute to assist the Group in achieving the operational competitiveness and business sustainability; (c) in the event that the Company engages external experts, advisors and consultants to provide professional consulting services to the Group, including these external parties as Participants
– 7 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
will allow the Company to pay the external experts, advisors or consultants a consideration comprising service fee and share-based consideration, leveraging on which, the Company may be able to avoid expensive one-off short-term transaction costs, at the same time incentivize the external experts, advisors and consultants with the long-term value to be brought by the growth of the Company’s business and market capitalization; and (d) the interest of the customers can be aligned with the future prospects of the Group and thereby facilitating a long term relationship with those customers.
Business partner and agents
The business partners and agents may provide valuable business referrals, funding resources and partnership introduction as well as introduce business opportunities, investors and/or partners to the Group. The inclusion of business partners and agents as Participants will in turn support the growth and business development of the Group. The Board (or the case may be, the independent non-executive Directors) will assess the eligibility of Participant(s) who are employees and directors of the Group based on the following factors: (a) his/her/its (i) individual performance, (ii) commitment (including without limitation the years of service and working hours), (iii) responsibilities and engagement conditions according to the prevailing market practice and industry standard, and (iv) potential and/or actual contribution to the business affairs of and benefits to the Group (in terms of, including without limitation, proactively promoting/catalyzing the continuing development and growth of the Group); and/or (b) whether he/she/it is regarded to be able to make valuable contribution to the Group based on his/her/its work experience, professional qualifications, knowledge in the industry or other relevant factors (including without limitation technical know-how, and market competitiveness).
In respect of any consultant, advisor, distributor, contractor, supplier, agent or service provider of any member of the Group, the Company will assess the importance and value of the goods or services provided to the Group. The Company may consider granting Options to such Participants to provide incentives for the supply of reliable and high quality goods or services on a long term basis which will benefit the Group. In respect of any customer of any member of the Group, the Company will assess the value of the goods or services purchased from the Group. The Company may consider granting Options to such Participants to provide incentives for the continue support of the Group’s products and services and to align the interest of the customers with the future prospects of the Group. In respect of business partners of any member of the Group, the Company will assess the nature of the business cooperation with the Group. The Company may grant Options to such participants to facilitate a long term relationship with such partners which will benefit the Group by way of thriving and long term business cooperation.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The New Share Option Scheme constitutes a share option scheme governed by Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules and the adoption of the New Share Option Scheme is subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the EGM.
Principal Terms of the New Share Option Scheme
The terms of the New Share Option Scheme provide that in granting Options under the New Share Option Scheme, the Board may offer to grant any Options subject to such terms and conditions in relation to the minimum period(s) (if any) of the Options to be held, and/or minimum performance target(s) (if any) under the New Share Option Scheme which must be achieved before the Options can be exercised in whole or in part, and/or any other terms as the Board may determine in its absolute discretion. There are no performance targets that must be achieved before the Options can be exercised unless otherwise imposed by the Board.
The subscription price of a Share in respect of any particular Option granted under the New Share Option Scheme shall be a price solely determined by the Board and notified to a participant and shall be at least the higher of: (i) the closing price of the Shares as stated in the Stock Exchange’s daily quotations sheet on the date of grant of the Option, which must be a Business Day; (ii) the average of the closing prices of the Shares as stated in the Stock Exchange’s daily quotations sheets for the five Business Days immediately preceding the date of grant of the Option; and (iii) the nominal value of a Share on the date of grant of the Option.
There is no material difference between the terms of the New Share Option Scheme and the Existing Share Option Scheme.
A summary of the principal terms of the New Share Option Scheme is set out in the Appendix to this circular. This serves as a summary of the terms of the New Share Option Scheme but does not constitute the full terms of the same. Copy of the full text of the New Share Option Scheme will be available for inspection during normal business hours at the Company’s principal place of business in Hong Kong at Room 1&10, 20/F, No. 118 Connaught Road West, Hong Kong from the date of this circular up to and including the date of the EGM.
The Board considers that it would not be appropriate to state the value of all Options that may be granted under the New Share Option Scheme as if they had been granted on the Latest Practicable Date on the basis that there are a number of variables that are crucial for the calculation of the value of the Options (including the exercise price, option period, any lockup period and other variables) which cannot be reasonably fixed at this stage. The Board believes that any calculation of the value of the Options as at the Latest Practicable Date based on a number of speculative assumptions would not be meaningful and would be misleading to the Shareholders.
– 9 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Conditions of the New Share Option Scheme
The New Share Option Scheme shall take effect subject to and conditional upon:
-
(a) the passing of the necessary resolution by the Shareholders to approve and adopt the New Share Option Scheme and to authorise the Board to grant Options under the New Share Option Scheme and to allot and issue Shares pursuant to the exercise of any Options; and
-
(b) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting approval of the listing of and permission to deal in the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of Options and the commencement of dealings in the Shares on the Stock Exchange (which shall include any such approval and permission which are granted subject to such conditions as the Stock Exchange may impose).
As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder is required under the Listing Rules to abstain from voting on the ordinary resolution to terminate the Existing Share Option Scheme and to approve and adopt the New Share Option Scheme.
The total number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all Options to be granted under the New Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company must not in aggregate exceed 10% of the total number of Shares in issue on the date of approval of the New Share Option Scheme, unless the Company obtains a fresh approval from Shareholders to refresh the 10% limit. The maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding Options granted and yet to be exercised under the New Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company must not exceed 30% of the total number of Shares in issue from time to time. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all Existing Options granted and yet to be exercised under the Existing Share Option Scheme is 149,999,998 Shares.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company is 7,499,999,994 Shares. Assuming that no further Shares are allotted, issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the EGM, the total number of Shares that may fall to be allotted and issued upon the exercise of all Options to be granted under the New Share Option Scheme would be 749,999,999 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of EGM. Taking into account the above, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of all outstanding Options granted and yet to be exercised under the Existing Share Option Scheme and the New Share Option Scheme and any other share option scheme would be 2,249,999,998 Shares, representing approximately 30.00% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date. Accordingly, the Board is of the view that the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding Options granted and yet to be exercised under the Existing Share Option Scheme, the New Share Option Scheme and any other share
– 10 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
option schemes of the Company will not exceed 30% of the total number of Shares in issue from time to time. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company does not have any fixed plans to grant Options to any Participants upon the adoption of the New Share Option Scheme. The Board will consider from time to time whether to grant Options based on a number of factors, including but not limited to, the Group’s financial performance and the relevant individual’s performance and contribution to the Group.
Application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the approval of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares which may fall to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options granted under the New Share Option Scheme.
