The Board proposed to change the English name of the Company from “UKF (Holdings) Limited” to “Kingkey Financial International (Holdings) Limited”, and to adopt a new Chinese name “ 京基金融國際 ( 控股 ) 有限公司 ” as the secondary name of the Company to replace its existing Chinese name “ 英裘 ( 控股 ) 有限公司 ”.
2.1 Conditions of the Proposed Change of Company Name
The Proposed Change of Company Name is subject to the following conditions having been satisfied:
-
(a) the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM to approve the Proposed Change of Company Name; and
-
(b) the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands approving the Proposed Change of Company Name.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
2.3 Effects of the Proposed Change of Company Name
The Proposed Change of Company Name will not, by itself, affect the rights of the existing holders of securities of the Company or the Company’s daily business operation and its financial position. All the existing certificates of securities of the Company in issue bearing the existing name of the Company in English and the existing Chinese name of the Company, will, after the Proposed Change of Company Name becoming effective, continue to be evidence of title to such securities of the Company and will continue to be valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery for the same number of securities of the Company in the new English name and the secondary name of the Company. Accordingly, there will not be any arrangement for free exchange of the existing certificates of the securities of the Company for new share certificates bearing the new English name and the secondary name of the Company. Once the Proposed Change of Company Name has become effective, any new certificates of the securities of the Company will be issued in the new English name and secondary name of the Company.
Once the Proposed Change of Company Name has become effective, any new certificates of the securities of the Company will be issued in the new English name and the new secondary name of the Company.
In addition, subject to the confirmation by the Stock Exchange, the English stock short name and the Chinese stock short name for trading of the Shares of the Company will also be changed after the Proposed Change of Company Name has become effective.
3. THE EGM
The EGM will be convened and held at 20th Floor, The Chinese Bank Building, 61-65 Des Voeux Road Central, Central, Hong Kong on Tuesday, 5 November 2019, at 3:00 p.m. for the purposes of considering and, if thought fit, approving, the Proposed Change of Company Name. A notice of the EGM is set out on pages 6 to 7 of this circular. The voting in relation to the Proposed Change of Company Name at the EGM will be conducted by way of a poll. After the EGM, an announcement on the poll results will be published by the Company.
To the extent that the Directors are aware, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Shareholders is required to abstain from voting on the resolution to approve the Proposed Change of Company Name at the EGM.
