To the Shareholders
Dear Sir or Madam,
PROPOSED ADOPTION OF CHINESE NAME AS SECONDARY NAME AND NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING
INTRODUCTION
Reference is made to the Announcement in relation to, among others, the Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name as Secondary Name.
The purpose of this circular is to provide information reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make a decision on whether to vote for or against the special resolution for the approval of the Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name as Secondary Name.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
PROPOSED ADOPTION OF CHINESE NAME AS SECONDARY NAME
As stated in the Announcement, the Board proposes to adopt and register the Chinese name “綠 心集團有限公司” as the secondary name of the Company in Chinese. After the Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name as Secondary Name has become effective, the Company will cease to use its existing Chinese name “綠森集團有限公司” which was adopted by the Company for identification purposes only.
CONDITIONS OF THE PROPOSED ADOPTION OF CHINESE NAME AS SECONDARY NAME
The Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name as Secondary Name is subject to the following conditions:
-
(i) the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders at the SGM to approve the Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name as Secondary Name; and
-
(ii) the approval by the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda.
Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set out above, the Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name as Secondary Name will take effect from the date of entry of the Chinese Name on the register of companies maintained by the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda. The Company will then carry out all necessary filing procedures with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong.
REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED ADOPTION OF CHINESE NAME AS SECONDARY NAME
The Board is of the opinion that the Chinese Name will bring fresh corporate image to the Company while facilitating the Company’s future business development, particularly in China, and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED ADOPTION OF CHINESE NAME AS SECONDARY NAME
The Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name as Secondary name will not affect any rights of the existing Shareholders. All the existing share certificates of the Company in issue bearing the present name of the Company, after the Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name as Secondary Name becoming effective, will continue to be evidence of legal title to such 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 exchange of existing share certificates for new certificates bearing the new Chinese Name of the Company.
Subject to the confirmation by the Stock Exchange, the Chinese stock short name of the Company for trading in the Shares on the Stock Exchange will also be changed after the Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name as Secondary Name has become effective.
