CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.

Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

Dear Sir/Madam,

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS, PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME AND

NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the Announcement in respect of, among others, the appointment of Directors and the Proposed Change of Company Name.

– 3 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with further information on the resolutions to be proposed at the EGM for approving, among others, the Re-election of Directors and the Proposed Change of Company Name and to give you notice of the EGM at which ordinary resolutions will be proposed to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the Re-election of Directors and a special resolution will be proposed to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the Proposed Change of Company Name.

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Reference is made to the Announcement in relation to, among others, the appointment of:

  • (a) each of Mr. Dong, Mr. SX Peng, Mr. Yan and Ms. Long as an executive Director;

  • (b) each of Mr. Wen and Mr. Zhang as a non-executive Director; and

  • (c) each of Mr. Liu, Mr. Guo, Mr. C Peng and Mr. Hon as an independent non-executive Director,

all with effect from 11 December 2017.

In accordance with Article 112 of the Articles of Association, each of Mr. Dong, Mr. SX Peng, Mr. Yan, Ms. Long, Mr. Wen, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Liu, Mr. Guo, Mr. C Peng and Mr. Hon shall hold office until the EGM, and, being eligible, has offered himself/herself for re-election at the EGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

Reference is also made to the Announcement in relation to, among others, the Proposed Change of Company Name. The Board proposes to the Shareholders to change the English name of the Company from ‘‘Ever Smart International Holdings Limited’’ to ‘‘Jimu Group Limited’’ and to adopt the dual foreign name in Chinese of the Company ‘‘積木集團有限公司’’ to replace its existing Chinese name ‘‘永駿國際控股有限公司’’ which had been used for identification purpose only. A special resolution will be proposed at the EGM for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the Proposed Change of Company Name.

Reasons for the Proposed Change of Company Name

The Board believes that the Proposed Change of Company Name would provide the Company with a new corporate image, and that the new English and Chinese names of the Company will provide the Shareholders and the investing public with a more accurate reflection of the Company’s corporate identity. Accordingly, the Directors are of the opinion that the Proposed Change of Company Name is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Conditions of the Proposed Change of Company Name

The Proposed Change of Company Name is subject to:

  • (a) the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders approving the Proposed Change of Company Name at the EGM; and

  • (b) the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands granting approval for the Proposed Change of Company Name and the new name being entered in the register of companies by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands.

Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set out above, the Proposed Change of Company Name will take effect upon the date on which the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands issues a certificate of incorporation on change of name confirming that the new name has been registered. The Company will then carry out all necessary filing procedures with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong under Part 16 of the Companies Ordinance (Chapter 622 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Effect of the Proposed 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 Company’s existing name shall continue to be evidence of legal title and valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes. Accordingly, there will not be any arrangement for free exchange of existing share certificates for new share certificates bearing the new names of the Company.

Once the Proposed Change of Company Name becomes effective, share certificates of the Company will be issued in the new name of the Company and the securities of the Company will be traded on GEM under the new name. It is expected that, after the Proposed Change of Company Name has become effective, new English and Chinese stock short names will be used accordingly, subject to the confirmation of the Stock Exchange.

Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company after the Proposed Change of Company Name and the new English and Chinese stock short names become effective.

EGM

A notice convening the EGM to be held at Portion 2, 12th Floor, The Center, 99 Queen’s Road Central, Hong Kong on Monday, 22 January 2018, at 3:00 p.m. is set out on pages EGM-1 to EGM-3 of this circular. At the EGM, ordinary resolutions will be proposed to approve the re-election of retiring Directors and a special resolution will be proposed to approve the Proposed Change of Company Name.

Pursuant to Rule 17.47(4) of the GEM Listing Rules, any vote of Shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll except where the chairman, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. Announcement will be made by the Company after the EGM on the poll results of the EGM.

A form of proxy for use by Shareholders at the EGM is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you intend to attend and vote at the EGM, you are requested to complete and return the enclosed form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon to 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 but in any event not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the EGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be). Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the EGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be) should you so desire.
