To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

PROPOSED ADOPTION OF CHINESE NAME

1. INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the Announcement in relation to the Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name. The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information in respect of the Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name and a notice convening the EGM, to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution proposed at the EGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. PROPOSED ADOPTION OF CHINESE NAME

The Company proposes to adopt the Chinese name of ‘‘中國大人國際有限公司’’ as the dual foreign name of the Company.

Conditions of the Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name

The Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name is subject to the following conditions:

  • (a) the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM approving the Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name; and

  • (b) the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands (the ‘‘Registrar’’) granting the approval for the Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name.

The relevant filings with the Registrar will be made after the passing of the special resolution at the EGM. Subject to satisfaction of the above conditions, the Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name will take effect from the date on which the Registrar enters the dual foreign name in Chinese of the Company on the register of companies maintained by it and issues a certificate of incorporation on adoption of dual foreign name to the Company. Thereafter, the Company will carry out all the necessary registration and/or filing procedures in the Cayman Islands or Hong Kong.

Reason for the Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name

The Group is principally engaged in the sale of imprintable apparel and gift products in Malaysia and Singapore. The Group intends to boost its growth by way of geographic expansion through entry into the PRC market and establishing its presence in the e-commerce sector.

Reference is made to the announcements of the Company dated 6 November 2023, 20 November 2023 and 29 November 2023 in relation to the acquisition of 40% of the issued shares in Lordan Group Ltd. by the Group (the ‘‘Acquisition’’), the completion of which took place on 29 November 2023. As disclosed in the said announcements, Lordan Group Ltd. indirectly controls through variable interest entity (VIE) arrangement, Daren Digital Science (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd. (大人數科(北京)科技 集團有限公司) (‘‘OPCO’’ and, together with its subsidiaries, the ‘‘OPCO Group’’). The OPCO Group is principally engaged in the business of provision of services in digitalisation and e-commerce transformation of physical businesses in the PRC. After the Acquisition, the OPCO Group will, among other things, establish and develop e-commerce sales platforms which connects the Group’s physical stores and supply chain functions with the OPCO Group’s online shops, and provide sales and marketing services, online sales in particular, to the Group’s efforts in expanding into the PRC retail market for imprintable apparel and gift products.

The Board considers that the Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name signifies the Group’s formal expansion into and establishment in the PRC retail and online market, and enhances the corporate image and identity of the Company by leveraging on the rapid expansion and recognition of the OPCO’s ‘‘中國大人’’ brand in the PRC e-commerce and online retail solutions sectors.

Based on the above, the Board believes that the Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name will benefit the Group in its future business development, and is in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Effect of the Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name

The Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name will not affect any right of the Shareholders. Upon the Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name becoming effective, all the existing share certificates of the Company in issue bearing the existing name of the Company will continue to be good evidence of legal title to the shares (the ‘‘Shares’’) of the Company and will remain valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery of the Shares. There will not be any arrangement for free exchange of the existing share certificates of the Company for new share certificates bearing the English name and the new Chinese name of the Company. Any new share certificates of the Company issued upon the Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name becoming effective will bear both the existing English name of the Company and the Chinese Name.

In addition, upon the Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name becoming effective and subject to the confirmation by the Stock Exchange, the Company will adopt a new Chinese stock short name for trading in the Shares on the Stock Exchange accordingly.

3. THE EGM

A notice convening the EGM to be held at 21st Floor, Grand Millennium Plaza, 181 Queen’s Road Central, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong on Wednesday, 27 December 2023, at 10:00 a.m. is set out on section ‘‘Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting’’ to this circular.

Voting by way of Poll

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the 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. Accordingly, all the resolutions proposed at the EGM will be taken by way of poll.

On a poll, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy or, in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation, by its duly authorised representative, shall have one vote for every Share held which is fully paid or credited as fully paid.

After the conclusion of the EGM, the poll results will be published on the website of the Stock Exchange at www.hkexnews.hk and the website of the Company at www.orensport.com.

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Shareholders has any direct or indirect material interest in the Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name. Accordingly, no Shareholders are required under the Listing Rules to abstain from voting on the resolution to be proposed at the EGM.

Closure of Register of Members

The register of members of the Company will be closed, for the purposes of determining the Shareholders who are entitled to attend and vote at the EGM, from Wednesday, 20 December 2023 to Wednesday, 27 December 2023 (both days inclusive), during which period no transfer of the Share(s) can be registered. In order to qualify for attending and voting at the EGM, all share transfer documents

Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the EGM or any adjourned meeting thereof (as the case may be) should you so wish and in such event, your appointment of proxy under any proxy form shall be deemed to be revoked.

4. GENERAL

Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company to inform the Shareholders of, among other things, the effective date of the New Chinese Name and the adoption of a corresponding Chinese stock short name for trading of the Shares on the Stock Exchange as and when appropriate.

5. RECOMMENDATIONS

6. RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that, to the best of their knowledge and belief, the information contained in this 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 circular misleading.
