LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Company proposes to change the English and Chinese name of the Company from:

Logan Property Holdings Company Limited 龍光地產控股有限公司

to:

Logan Group Company Limited 龍光集團有限公司

Conditions of the change of name of the Company

The change of name of the Company is subject to satisfaction of the following conditions:

  • (i) the passing of the necessary special resolution by the Shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting to approve the change of name of the Company; and

  • (ii) the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands approving the change of name of the Company.

Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set out above, the change of name of the Company will take effect upon the date of the issue of a certificate of incorporation on change of name by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands confirming that the new name has been registered.

The Company will then carry out the necessary filing procedures with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong.

Reasons for the change of name of the Company

Upon listing, the Group has adhered to its forward-looking investment strategy and regional penetration strategies while promoting synergetic development of different business segments and continued to enhance its comprehensive strength. The Group has developed to be currently engaged in three main business segments of property development, urban renewal and investment property operations. The Board considered that the proposed new name of the Company is more aligned with the Group’s long-term development strategy, which will be beneficial to the co-ordination and development of the Group’s core business, strengthen the overall branding, and create value to the Shareholders and customers of the Group.

Effect of the change of name of the Company

The change of name of the Company will not affect any rights of the holders of securities of the Company or the Company’s daily business operation and its financial position.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

All existing certificates of securities in issue bearing the present name of the Company shall, upon the change of name of the Company 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. Subject to the confirmation of the Stock Exchange, the English and Chinese stock short names of the Company for trading in the Shares on the Stock Exchange will also be changed after the new company name becomes effective.

Once the change of name of the Company becomes effective, new share certificates will be issued in the new name of the Company.

Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company in relation to the effective dates of the change of name of the Company and the change of the English and Chinese stock short names of the Company.

3. EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING AND PROXY ARRANGEMENT

Pursuant to the Listing Rules and the Articles of Association, 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 poll results will be published by the Company after the Extraordinary General Meeting in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

A form of proxy for use at the Extraordinary General Meeting is enclosed with this circular and such form of proxy is also published on the websites of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (http://www.hkexnews.hk) and the Company (http://www.loganproperty.com).
