CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate 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. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.

Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, 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.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information relating to the Proposed Change of Company Name and to give you notice of the EGM at which a special resolution will be proposed to approve the Proposed Change of Company name.

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

On 7 June 2017, the Board resolved to change the English name of the Company from “Madison Wine Holdings Limited” to “Madison Holdings Group Limited”, and replace “麥迪森酒 業控股有限公司” by “麥迪森控股集團有限公司” as the Company’s Chinese name.

The Proposed Change of Company Name is subject to (i) the passing of a special resolution by Shareholders approving the Proposed Change of Company Name at the EGM; and (ii) the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands (the “ Registrar ”) approving the Proposed Change of Company Name, if any.

Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set out above, the Proposed Change of Company Name will take effect from the date of entry of the new name of the Company on the register maintained by the Registrar. The Company will then carry out all necessary registration and/or filing procedures with the Registrar and the Companies Registry in Hong Kong.

Reasons for the Proposed Change of Company Name

The Board considers that the Proposed Change of Company Name will better reflect the future business plans and development of the Group. 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 the Shareholders as a whole.

Effects of the Proposed Change of Company Name

The Proposed Change of Company Name will not affect any rights of the Shareholders or the Company’s daily business operation and its financial position.

Upon the Proposed Change of Company Name becoming effective, the Company intends to change the stock short name of the Company correspondingly and new share certificates of the Company will be issued only in the new name of the Company.

The Company will make further announcement(s) on the Proposed Change of Company Name as soon as practicable after the Proposed Change of Company Name has become effective and will announce the change of the stock short name and change of Company’s website following the Proposed Change of Company Name.
