LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Board proposes to change the English name of the Company from “Advanced Card Systems Holdings Limited” to “HNA Technology Investments Holdings Limited” and to adopt the dual foreign name in Chinese of the Company “海航科技投資控股有限公司” to replace its existing Chinese name “龍傑智能卡控股有限公司” which had been used for identification purpose only.

Conditions for the Change of Company Name

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

  1. the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM to approve the Change of Company Name; and

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

Subject to the satisfaction of the above conditions, the Change of Company Name will take effect from the date of the special resolution of the Shareholders approving the Change of Company Name. The Company will then carry out all necessary registration and/or filing procedures with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands and the Companies Registry in Hong Kong.

Reasons for the Change of Company Name

The Board considers that the proposed Change of Company Name will better reflect the recent change of control of the Company. The Board believes that the new name can provide the Company with a more appropriate corporate image and identity which will benefit the Company’s future business development and is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

Effects of the Change of Company Name

The Change of Company Name will not affect any rights of the holders of securities of the Company. All existing certificates of securities in issue bearing the existing name of the Company shall, upon the Change of Company Name becoming effective, continue to be evidence of title to such securities and in particular, the existing share certificates will continue to be valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes. There will not be any arrangement for exchange of the existing certificates of securities for new certificates of securities bearing the new name of the Company. Following completion of all necessary registration and/or filing procedures with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong, all new certificates of securities will be issued in the new name of the Company.

In addition, subject to the confirmation of the Stock Exchange, the English and Chinese stock short names of the Company for trading in the securities on the Stock Exchange will also be changed after the Change of Company Name becomes effective.
