CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been established as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a high investment risk may be attached. In particular, companies may list on GEM with neither a track record of profitability nor any obligation to forecast future profitability. Furthermore, there may be risks arising out of the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM and the business sectors or countries in which the companies operate. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.

Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the main board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

The principal means of information dissemination on GEM is publication on the internet website operated by the Stock Exchange. Listed companies are not generally required to issue paid announcements in gazetted newspapers. Accordingly, prospective investors should note that they need to have access to the GEM website at www.hkgem.com in order to obtain up-to-date information on GEM-Iisted issuers.

To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

ADOPTION OF SHARE AWARD SCHEME CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME AMENDMENTS TO MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION REMOVAL AND CHANGE OF AUDITORS

INTRODUCTION

On 13 November 2006, the Board announced that it proposed to adopt the Share Award Scheme. On 24 November 2006, the Board announced that it proposed to change the Company’s name to “Galileo Holdings Limited ”, amend the memorandum and articles of association of the Company, remove Homan as auditors of the Company and appoint Messrs. Grant Thornton to fill the casual vacancy created thereby. On 12 April 2007, the Board further announced that it proposed to appoint Lo and Kwong in place of Messrs. Grant Thornton as the new auditors of the Company to fill the vacancy following the proposed removal of Homan as auditors of the Company.

– 3 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding the following resolutions to be proposed at the EGM:

  • (i) the adoption of the Share Award Scheme;

  • (ii) the Change of Company Name;

  • (iii) the amendments to the memorandum and articles of association of the Company; and

  • (iv) the removal and change of auditors.

ADOPTION OF SHARE AWARD SCHEME

A proposal is put to the Shareholders for adoption of the Share Award Scheme. The Share Award Scheme does not constitute a share option scheme pursuant to Chapter 23 of the GEM Listing Rules and is a discretionary scheme of the Company. The proposal is put to the Shareholders to enhance the transparency of the management of the Company.

The purpose of the Share Award Scheme is to recognise, inter alia, the loyalty, performance and/or contribution of certain Employees and Consultants, in order to retain them for the continual operation, development and growth of the Group and to attract suitable personnel for further development of the Group. Those Selected Participants who, after joining the Share Award Scheme, are promoted to directorship would continue to be permitted to participate in the Share Award Scheme. Each Participant shall be required to confirm in writing whether he/she is a connected person (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) of the Company prior to the transfer of an award to him/her. If an award is transferred to a Selected Participant who is a connected person, and such transfer of award will constitute a connected transaction (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules), the Company shall comply with Chapter 20 of the GEM Listing Rules in relation to such transfer.

A summary of the principal rules of the Share Award Scheme is set out in the Appendix to this circular.

CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Board proposes to change the Company’s English name from “Galileo Capital Group Limited” to “Galileo Holdings Limited” and its Chinese name from “ ” to “ ”.

The Board considers that the existing name of the Company may inevitably give people an impression that the Company focuses on capital market related business but the proposed new name, which denotes that the Company is a holding company without specifying any particular kind of business of the Group, will better reflect the business diversity of the Group in the future, including the Company’s funeral services business as detailed in the Company’s announcement and circular dated 8 November 2006 and 22 December 2006 respectively. The Board believes that the proposed Change of Company Name is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

– 4 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The proposed Change of Company Name is subject to the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM. The Change of Company Name shall take effect from the date on which the special resolution to approve the Change of Company Name is duly passed at the EGM. The Company will carry out the necessary filing procedures with the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong.

The proposed Change of Company Name will not affect any of the rights of any Shareholder. If the proposed Change of Company Name becomes effective, all existing share certificates in issue bearing the previous name of the Company will continue to be evidence of title to the Shares and will continue to be valid for trading, settlement, delivery and registration for the same number of shares in the new name of the Company and the rights of any Shareholders will not be affected as a result of the Change of Company Name.

There will be no special arrangement for free exchange of the existing share certificates of the Company for new share certificates printed in the Company’s new name. Subject to the proposed Change of Company Name becoming effective, future share certificates will be issued under the new name of the Company.

AMENDMENTS TO MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

In view of the proposed Change of Company Name, the Board also proposes to amend the Company’s memorandum and articles of association to reflect the change of the Company’s name. The proposed amendments to the Company’s memorandum and articles of association is subject to the approval of the Shareholders by way of a special resolution at the EGM and the aforesaid amendments shall become effective once the Shareholders duly passed the relevant special resolution at the EGM.

REMOVAL AND CHANGE OF AUDITORS

The Board proposes to remove Homan as auditors of the Company and appoint Lo and Kwong as the new auditors of the Company to fill the casual vacancy.

The term of office of Homan will originally expire at the next annual general meeting of the Company. The Board was given to understand that a petition was filed on 31 October 2006 for the winding up of Homan pursuant to the Companies Ordinance (Chapter 32 of the Laws of Hong Kong). In order to secure continuous high quality audit services for the Company, the Board proposes that, subject to the approval of the Shareholders by way of a special resolution at the EGM, Homan be removed as auditors of the Company with immediate effect. The Board originally proposed to appoint Messrs. Grant Thornton as new auditors of the Company to fill the vacancy following the removal of Homan. However, Messrs. Grant Thornton recently informed the Board that they still have not completed their client acceptance procedures in respect of the proposed appointment as auditors of the Company. In order to ensure that the audit of the Company’s annual results for the financial year ended 31 March 2007 will be performed and completed on a timely manner, the Board proposes to appoint Lo and Kwong in place of Messrs. Grant Thornton as the new auditors of the Company to fill the vacancy

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

following the proposed removal of Homan and to hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company. Lo and Kwong have provided a preliminary engagement letter to the Company confirming their acceptance as the auditors of the Company subject to the approval of the Shareholders.

Despite repeated requests from the Company, Homan still have not provided a confirmation letter to the Company confirming whether or not there are any matters that need to be brought to the attention of the Shareholders. If Homan would like to bring any matter to the attention of the Shareholders before or during the EGM, the Company will make an announcement accordingly.

The Board confirmed that save as disclosed above, there were no other circumstances in respect of the change of auditors that the Board considers should be brought to the attention of the Shareholders.
