LETTER FROM THE BOARD
PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
The Board proposes to change the name of the Company from “Wing Hong (Holdings) Limited” to “China Railsmedia Corporation Limited”. The existing Chinese name, being “ 榮 康(控股)有限公司 ” (which was adopted for identification purpose), would change to “ 中國 鐵聯傳媒有限公司 ” accordingly.
REASONS FOR THE CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
The Board considers that the proposed new name of the Company would symbolize a fresh start to the Company following the investment in 北京鐵聯通達廣告傳媒有限公司, a company incorporated in the PRC with limited liability which is engaged in media sales and management services for the multi-media business and the operation of media advertising spaces together with the provision of rail transit value-added services through LCD displays located at the ticketing offices of each station in the PRC. It reflects the Company’s desire to explore and capture a wider source of business opportunities of high growth and yield with a view to diversifying the businesses of, and optimizing the returns to, the Group.
CONDITIONS OF THE CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
The proposed Change of Company Name is subject to:
-
(a) the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders to approve the Change of Company Name at the SGM; and
-
(b) the approval for the Change of Company Name being granted by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands.
Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set out above, the proposed Change of Company Name will take effect from the date on which the certificate on change of name is issued by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands. The Company will then carry out the necessary filing procedures with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong. Further announcement will be made by the Company to inform the Shareholders of the effective date of the Change of Company Name.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
EFFECTS OF THE CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
The proposed Change of Company Name will not affect any of the rights of the Shareholders. All existing share certificates in issue bearing the existing name of the Company will, after the Change of Company Name, continue to be evidence of legal title to the Shares and valid for trading, settlement and registration purposes. There will not be any arrangements for free exchange of the existing share certificates of the Company for new share certificates under the new name of the Company. However, only new share certificates of the Company will be issued under the new name of the Company after the Change of Company Name has become effective.
SGM
Set out on pages 6 and 7 of this circular is a notice convening the SGM to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the special resolution relating to the Change of Company Name.

Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the SGM or any adjournment thereof if you so wish.
