To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME AND PROPOSED ADOPTION OF NEW MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

INTRODUCTION

On 19 January 2012, the Company announced that it would change the name of the Company and adopt new Memorandum and Articles of Association. The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among others, further details of the Change of Company Name and the adoption of new Memorandum and Articles of Association together with notice of the EGM.

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Board proposed a special resolution to the Shareholders at the EGM to change the name of the Company from ‘‘Rainbow Brothers Holdings Limited’’ to ‘‘Harmonic Strait Financial Holdings Limited 和協海峽金融集團有限公司’’ and would no longer adopt its existing Chinese name ‘‘十友控股有限公 司’’ for identification purpose at the forthcoming EGM of the Company to be held on Tuesday, 6 March 2012 at 10:00 a.m..

  • For identification purpose only

– 2 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Incidental to such proposed change of name, the Directors also proposed to amend the Memorandum and Articles of Association to reflect the change of the Company name.

CONDITIONS

The Change of Company Name will be subject to the following:

  1. the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders approving the Change of Company Name at the EGM; 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 new name of the Company will take effect on the date of the issuance of the certificate of incorporation on the change of name by the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies. The Company will then carry out all necessary filing procedures with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong.

REASONS FOR THE CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

In light of the completion of the acquisition of the 90% equity interests in Harmonic Strait in August 2010, the Group has devoted efforts and resources to promote the business of Harmonic Strait. The Board is of the view that the new name will better reflect the nature and business development of the Company in the future. As such, the Board considers that the Change of Company Name is in the interests of the Company and its 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 or the Company’s daily business operation and its financial position.

The Change of Company Name will be effective on the date of the issuance of the certificate of incorporation on the change of name by the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies. Thereafter, new share certificates of the Company will be issued in the new name of the Company. However, all existing share certificates in issue bearing the existing name of the Company will, after the Change of Company Name has become effective, continue to be effective and be valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes.

There will not be any arrangement for the free exchange of the existing share certificates of the Company for new share certificates bearing the new name of the Company.

Further announcement will be made by the Company to inform the Shareholders of results of the EGM, the effective date of the Change of Company Name and the new stock short name of the Company under which Shares will be traded on the Stock Exchange.

PROPOSED ADOPTION OF NEW MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

The existing Memorandum and Articles of Association have not been amended since October 2007. The Board proposed certain amendments to be made to the existing Memorandum and Articles of Association for housekeeping purpose and for the purpose of conforming with certain amendments to the

– 3 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Listing Rules, which became effective on 1 January 2009, and certain further amendments to the Listing Rules which became effective on 1 January 2012 and the applicable rules under the Companies Law. The principal effect of the proposed amendments to the existing Memorandum and Articles of Association is summarized as follows:

  • (i) all resolutions at general meetings of the Company shall be decided by poll other than a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter as may be permitted under the Listing Rules to be voted by a show of hands;

  • (ii) an annual general meeting shall be called by written notice of not less than 21 clear days and not less than 20 clear business days, an extraordinary general meeting called for the passing of a special resolution shall be called by written notice of not less than 21 clear days and not less than 10 clear business days and any other extraordinary meetings shall be called by written notice of not less than 14 clear days and not less than 10 clear business days; and

  • (iii) physical board meeting shall be held rather by way of written resolution to deal with matter in which a substantial shareholder or a Director has a conflict of interest.

A table showing the comparison between the Clauses and Articles of the existing and new Memorandum and Articles of Association which are affected by the proposed amendments thereto is set out in Appendix to this circular so as to give adequate information about the effect of the proposed amendments to the Memorandum and Articles of Association.

The Board would like to take this opportunity to propose that the new Memorandum and Articles of Association incorporating the amendments be adopted to replace the existing Memorandum and Articles of Association.

The Company’s legal advisers have confirmed that the proposed amendments to the Memorandum and Articles of Association are in compliance with the requirements of the Listing Rules and the Cayman Islands laws. The Company also confirms that there is nothing unusual about the proposed amendments to the Memorandum and Articles of Association for a company listed in Hong Kong.

Pursuant to Article 228 of the existing Memorandum and Articles of Association, the proposed amendments to the Memorandum and Articles of Association and adoption of new Memorandum and Articles of Association incorporating such amendments will be subject to the approval by the Shareholders in form of a special resolution.

EGM

Set out at the end of this circular is a notice convening the EGM to be held at Suite No. 1 on 7/F, Sino Plaza, 255–257 Gloucester Road, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong on Tuesday, 6 March 2012 at 10:00 a.m. for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing the resolutions set out therein.

A form of proxy for use at the EGM is enclosed. 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 return the same to the Company’s Hong Kong branch share registrar, Tricor Investor Services Limited, at 26th Floor, Tesbury Centre, 28 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong as soon

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

as possible and in any event no later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the EGM. Completion and return of the enclosed form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at such meeting or any adjournment should you so wish.

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

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.
