CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized 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.
Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

As such, the resolution under item numbered 8 in the AGM Notice relating to the proposed Change of Company Name should be deleted in its entirety and replaced by the new resolution under item numbered 8 as set out in the supplemental AGM Notice (the “ Supplemental AGM Notice ”).
Save as disclosed above, all the other information in relation to the Change of Company Name contained in the Original Circular is correct and remains unchanged.
SUPPLEMENTAL AGM NOTICE
Set out on pages 5 to 6 of this supplemental circular is the Supplemental AGM Notice at which, inter alia:
-

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Please refer to the Original Circular and the AGM Notice for details of other resolutions to be proposed at the AGM and other relevant matters.
REVISED FORM OF PROXY
Since the form of proxy of the Company dated 30 June 2021 (the “ Original Form of Proxy ”) does not reflect the revision of the proposed Change of Company Name, a revised form of proxy (the “ Revised Form of Proxy ”) is enclosed for use at the AGM.
Whether or not you are able to attend the AGM, you are requested to complete the Revised Form of Proxy in accordance instructions printed thereon and return it to the Share Registrar, Union Registrars Limited at Suites 3301-04, 33/F., Two Chinachem Exchange Square, 338 King’s Road, North Point, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the AGM or any adjournment thereof (the “ Closing Time ”). Completion and return of the Revised Form of Proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the AGM or any adjournment thereof should you so wish, and in such event, the form of proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.
A Shareholder who has not yet lodged the Original Form of Proxy with the Share Registrar is requested to lodge the Revised Form of Proxy if he/she wishes to appoint proxy(ies) to attend, speak and vote at the AGM on his/her behalf. In this case, the Original Form of Proxy should not be lodged with the Share Registrar.
A Shareholder who has already lodged the Original Form of Proxy with the Share Registrar should note that:
-
(i) if no Revised Form of Proxy is lodged with the Share Registrar, the Original Form of Proxy, if correctly completed, will be treated as a valid form of proxy lodged by him/her. The proxy so appointed by the Shareholder will be entitled to cast the vote at his/her discretion or to abstain from voting on any resolution properly put to the AGM except for those resolutions to which the Shareholder has indicated his/her voting direction in the Original Form of Proxy;
-
(ii) if the Revised Form of Proxy is lodged with the Share Registrar before the Closing Time, the Revised Form of Proxy, if correctly completed, will revoke and supersede the Original Form of Proxy previously lodged by him/her. The Revised Form of Proxy will be treated as a valid form of proxy lodged by the Shareholder; and
-
(iii) if the Revised Form of Proxy is lodged with the Share Registrar after the Closing Time, or if lodged before the Closing Time but is incorrectly completed, the proxy appointment under the Revised Form of Proxy will be invalid. The proxy so appointed by the Shareholder under the Original Form of Proxy, if correctly completed, will be entitled to vote in the manner as mentioned in (i) above as if no Revised Form of Proxy was lodged with the Share Registrar. Accordingly, Shareholders are advised to complete the Revised Form of Proxy carefully and lodge the Revised Form of Proxy with the Share Registrar before the Closing Time.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Shareholders are reminded that submission of the Original Form of Proxy and/or the Revised Form of Proxy shall not preclude Shareholders from attending and voting in person at the AGM or any adjourned meeting thereof, should they so wish.
GEM LISTING RULES REQUIREMENT
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. An announcement on the results of the poll will be made by the Company after the AGM in the manner prescribed under Rule 17.47(5) of the GEM Listing Rules.
RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT
This supplemental circular, for which the Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the GEM 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 supplemental 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 supplemental circular misleading.
RECOMMENDATION
The Directors consider that the revision of the proposed Change of Company Name is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
