The Board proposes to change the name of the Company from “China Infrastructure Machinery Holdings Limited” to “Lonking Holdings Limited” and the existing Chinese name, being “ ” which was adopted for identification purposes only, will remain unchanged.

3. REASONS FOR THE CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Board considers that the Group needs to maintain its competitiveness in both PRC and overseas market and strengthen the brand culture to better reflect the future business development and direction of the Group. Followed by an extensive research and consultant in both PRC and overseas, the Company created a “Lonking” image which has been extremely well received and understood by both PRC and international group, such unique image is in coordination with a “Lonking” trademark. The Board believes the proposed new name of the Company and trademark will strengthen the Company’s image and unique position as one of the leading companies in the infrastructure machinery industry.

4. CONDITIONS OF THE CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The proposed change of name is subject to:

  • (a) the passing of a special resolution by the shareholders of the Company at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company to be convened by the Company; and

  • (b) the approval by the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands.

Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set out above, the proposed change of the Company’s name will take effect from the date on which the Registrar of Companies in Cayman Islands enters the new name on the register in place of the existing name. The Company will then carry out the necessary filing procedures with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong. Further announcement will be made by the Company to inform the shareholders of the Company (the “Shareholders”) of the effective date of the change of name of the Company and the trading arrangement in respect of the stock short names of the Company.

5. EFFECTS OF THE CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The proposed change of name of the Company will not affect any rights of the Shareholders. All existing share certificates in issue bearing the existing name of the Company will, after the change of name, continue to be evidence of legal title to the shares of the Company and will continue to be valid for trading, settlement, delivery and registration for the same number of the shares of the Company. There will not be any arrangements for free exchange of the existing share certificates of the Company for new share certificates under the new name of the Company.
