LETTER FROM THE BOARD
B. PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
A special resolution for change of Company name will be proposed at the EGM for consideration and approval by Shareholders.
The Board proposed to change the English name of the Company from “Dalian Port (PDA) Company Limited” to “Liaoning Port Co., Ltd.” and the Chinese name of the Company from “大連港股份有限公司” to “遼寧港口股份有限公司” (the “ Proposed Change of Company Name ”) subject to confirming by the Stock Exchange and relevant PRC authorities.
The Board believes that the Proposed Change of Company Name will better reflect the Company’s business strategy after acquisition of Yingkou Port Liability Co., Ltd. (營口港務股 份有限公司).
The Proposed Change of Company Name is subject to the following conditions:
-
(1) the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM to approve the Proposed Change of Company Name; and
-
(2) any necessary approval of the relevant authorities in the PRC in relation to the Proposed Change of Company Name being obtained.
The relevant filing with the relevant authorities in the PRC will be made after the passing of the relevant resolution at the EGM. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set out above, the Proposed Change of Company Name will take effect from the date of completion of the registration of change in Company name with the relevant authorities in the PRC. The Company will then carry out all necessary filing procedures with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong.
The Proposed Change of Company Name will not affect any rights of the holders of securities of the Company or the Company’s daily business operation and/or financial position. All existing certificates of securities in issue bearing the present name of the Company shall, after the Proposed Change of Company Name becoming effective, continue to be evidence of title to such securities and 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 bearing the new name of the Company. Once the Proposed Change of Company Name becomes effective, new share certificates will be issued only in the new name of the Company.
