To the Shareholders

Dear Sir/Madam

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME AND NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

1. INTRODUCTION

The Board announced on 15 May 2013 that it proposes to change the name of the Company.

The purpose of this circular is to provide Shareholders with information in respect of the resolution to be proposed at the Extraordinary General Meeting for the proposed change of company name. A special resolution relating to the proposed Change of Company Name is to be proposed at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Board proposes to change the name of the Company from “Fook Woo Group Holdings Limited 福和集團控股有限公司” to “Integrated Waste Solutions Group Holdings Limited” and adopt a Chinese name “綜合環保集團有限公司” for identification.

Conditions for the Change of Company Name

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

  1. the Shareholders passing a special resolution at the Extraordinary General approving the Change of Company Name; and

  2. the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands approving the Change of Company Name.

Subject to the satisfaction of the above conditions, the Change of Company will take effect on the date of issue of the Certificate of Incorporation on Change of Name by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands. The Company will then carry out all necessary filing procedures with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong.

Reasons for the Change of Company Name

The proposed Change of Company Name is to reflect and emphasize the direction of the development of the scope of business of the Group in waste recycling and waste solution provider businesses. The Board believes that the proposed new English and Chinese names of the Company will provide the Group with better identification of the principal business of the Group. As such, the Board is of the view that the proposed Change of Company Name is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Effect of the Change of Company Name

The Change of Company Name will not affect any of the rights of the Shareholders. 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 valid for trading, settlement and registration.

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, future share certificates will be issued under the new name of the Company.

Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company to inform the Shareholders of the result of the EGM, the effective date of the Change of Company Name, and the details in respect of the change of the logo, the website, and the stock short names of the Company.
