LETTER FROM THE BOARD
PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
As disclosed in the Announcement in relation to the Change of Company Name, the Board proposed to change the English name of the Company from ‘‘Infinity Chemical Holdings Company Limited’’ to ‘‘Infinity Development Holdings Company Limited’’, and adopt the Chinese name of ‘‘星謙發展控股有限公司’’ as the dual foreign name of the Company in place of its existing Chinese name ‘‘星謙化工控股有限公司’’.
Conditions for the Change of Company Name
The Change of Company Name is subject to the following conditions having been satisfied:
-
(i) the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM to approve the Change of Company Name; and
-
(ii) the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands approving the Change of Company Name.
Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set out above, the Change of Company Name will take effect from the date on which the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands enters the new English name and dual foreign name in Chinese of the Company on the register of companies maintained by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands. The Company will comply with the necessary filing procedures in Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands.
In addition, subject to the confirmation of the Stock Exchange, the stock short name for trading in the shares of the Company will also be changed after the Change of Company Name becoming effective.
Reasons for the Change of Company Name
The Group is principally engaged in the manufacturing and sales of adhesives, primers, hardeners, vulcanized shoes adhesive related products used by the footwear manufacturers and acting as the sales agent for adhesives used in the production of electronic products.
With further development and expansion of the business scope of the Group, the Board considers that the Change of Company Name will reflect the future strategy of the Group. In addition, the new name can also refresh the Company’s corporate image and identity.
The Board is of the opinion that the Change of Company Name will clearly benefit the Company’s future business development and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Effect of the Change of Company Name
The Change of Company Name will not, of itself, affect any rights of the Shareholders or the Company’s daily business operation and its financial position. All existing share certificates of the Company in issue bearing the existing name of the Company will, after the Change of Company Name becoming effective, continue to be effective and as documents of title to the shares of the Company and will remain valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes. Accordingly, there will not be any arrangement for free exchange of the existing share certificates for new share certificates bearing the new name of the Company. Upon the Change of Company Name becoming effective, new share certificates of the Company will be issued under the new name of the Company.
The Company will make further announcement as and when appropriate to inform the Shareholders of the results of the EGM, the effective date of the Change of Company Name and the new stock short name of the Company for the trading of the shares of the Company on the Stock Exchange.

The special resolution proposed to be approved at the EGM will be taken by poll. As no Shareholder has a material interest in the Change of Company Name which is different from that of the other Shareholder, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting at the EGM to approve the Change of Company Name.

Whether or not you are able to attend the EGM, you are requested to complete the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and deposit the same at the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited, at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the EGM or any adjournment thereof.
