To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

(1) PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME; (2) PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION; AND

(3) NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

1. INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 27 July 2021 in relation to the Proposed Change of Company Name and the Proposed Amendments to the Memorandum and Articles of Association. The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information in respect of the special resolutions to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Proposed Change of Company Name and the Proposed Amendments to the Memorandum and Articles of Association.

– 3 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The notice setting out the details of the special resolutions to be proposed at the EGM is set out on pages 9 to 13 of this circular.

2. PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Board proposes to change the English name of the Company from ‘‘HongGuang Lighting Holdings Company Limited’’ to ‘‘HG Semiconductor Limited’’ and to change the dual foreign name in Chinese of the Company from ‘‘宏光照明控股有限公司’’ to ‘‘宏光半導體有限公司’’.

Conditions of the Proposed Change of Company Name

The Proposed Change of Company Name is subject to the following conditions:

  • (i) the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM to approve the Proposed Change of Company Name; and

  • (ii) the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands approving the Proposed Change of the Company Name.

Subject to the satisfaction of the above conditions, the Proposed Change of Company Name will take effect from the date on which the certificate of incorporation on change of name is issued by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands. Thereafter, the Company will then carry out all corresponding necessary filing procedures with the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong regarding the Proposed Change of the Company Name.

Reasons for the Proposed Change of the Company Name

The Group is engaged in the design, development, manufacturing, subcontracting service and sales of semiconductor products, including LED beads, LED lighting products and fast charging products in the PRC.

The Group has been traditionally focusing on LED beads and lighting products. LED is a semiconductor light source that emits light when current flows through it. In 2021, the Group has adopted a faster pace to develop its business by leveraging its industrial expertise on LED manufacturing and has been expanding its business to various kinds of semiconductors including LED, Gallium Nitride (‘‘GaN’’), fast charging products and other kinds of semiconductors related products. Looking forward, while the Group will continue to strengthen and consolidate its LED business, it will devote its resources, in particular in conducting research and development activities, to explore various applications of its semiconductor manufacturing expertise and become a leading and innovative player in the semiconductors sector. The Board considers that the proposed English name and Chinese name will better reflect the current status of the Company and direction of future business development of the Group. The Board also believes that the proposed new English name and Chinese name of the Company will provide the Company with a new corporate image which will enable the Group to better identify itself and capture potential business opportunities for

– 4 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

its future development. Accordingly, the Board is of the view that the Proposed Change of Company Name will benefit the Group’s future business development and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Effects of the Proposed Change of the Company Name

The Proposed Change of Company Name will not affect any rights of the existing Shareholders or the Company’s daily business operation and its financial position. All existing share certificates of the Company in issue bearing the present name of the Company shall, after the Proposed Change of Company Name becoming effective, continue to be evidence of legal title to such shares and valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purpose. Accordingly, there will not be any arrangement for the exchange of the existing share certificates for new certificates bearing the new name of the Company. Once the Proposed Change of Company Name becomes effective, any new share certificates thereafter will be issued only in the new name of the Company.

In addition, subject to the confirmation by the Stock Exchange, the English stock short name and Chinese stock short name for trading in the Shares will also be changed after the Proposed Change of Company Name has become effective.

3. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

In view of the Proposed Change of the Company Name, the Board also proposes to amend the Memorandum and Articles of Association to, inter alia, reflect the Proposed Change of Company Name by replacing all reference therein to ‘‘HongGuang Lighting Holdings Company Limited 宏光 照明控股有限公司’’ with ‘‘HG Semiconductor Limited 宏光半導體有限公司’’ and update the address of the registered office of the Company. The Proposed Amendments to the Memorandum and Articles of Association are subject to the approval of the Shareholders by way of a special resolution at the EGM and shall become effective from the date of issue of the certificate of incorporation on change of name by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands in respect of the Proposed Change of Company Name.

The Company has been advised by its legal advisers that the Proposed Amendments to the Memorandum and Articles of Association conform with the requirements of the Listing Rules and do not contravene the laws of the Cayman Islands, respectively. The Company also confirmed that there is nothing unusual about the Proposed Amendments to the Memorandum and Articles of Association for a company incorporated in Cayman Islands and listed on the Stock Exchange.
