A notice convening the EGM setting out the details of the special resolution to be proposed at the EGM is set out on pages 6 and 7 of this circular.

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Conditions of the Change of Company Name

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

  1. the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders to approve the Change of Company Name at the EGM; and

  2. the issuance of a certificate of change of name by the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong.

The Change of Company Name will take effect from the date on which the certificate of change of name is issued by the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong.

Reasons for the Change of Company Name

The Board considers that the Change of Company Name can provide the Company with a new corporate image and identity which will benefit the Company’s future business development and is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Effects on the Change of Company Name

The Change of Company Name will not affect any of the rights of the Shareholders. All existing certificates of securities in issue bearing the present names of the Company will, upon the Change of Company Name becoming effective, continue to be evidence of title to such securities and will be valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes. Accordingly, there will not be any arrangement for free exchange of the existing certificates of securities of the Company for new certificates bearing the Company’s new names. Any further issue of certificates of securities of the Company will be bearing the new names of the Company following the Change of Company Name becoming effective.

Subject to the confirmation of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the English and Chinese stock short names for trading in the Shares will also be changed after the Change of Company Name becoming effective.

The Company will make further announcement(s) to inform the Shareholders of the results of the EGM, the effective date of the proposed Change of Company Name and the new English and Chinese stock short names of the Company under which the Shares will be traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange as and when appropriate.

VOTING BY WAY OF POLL

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll except where the chairman of the meeting, 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 Chairman of the EGM will put the special resolution set out in the EGM Notice to be voted by way of poll pursuant to Article 80 of the Articles. An announcement on the poll results will be published by the Company after the EGM in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

This circular for which the Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.
