LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

On 10 February 2011, the Board announced that it proposed to change the name of the Company to “International Resources Enterprise Limited” and adopt the Chinese name “國際資源 實業有限公司” as the secondary name of the Company.

REASONS FOR THE CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Board considers that the new names will provide the Company with a fresh new corporate image and identity which is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

CONDITIONS OF THE CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Change of Company Name is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

  • (a) the passing of the special resolution by the Shareholders at the SGM; and

  • (b) the approval by the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda for the use of the proposed new English name and Chinese name by the Company.

The Change of Company Name will take effect from the date of entry of the new names of the Company on the register maintained by the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda in place of the existing names. The Company will then carry out the necessary filing procedures with the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong.

EFFECTS OF THE CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Change of Company Name will not affect any of the rights of the holders of securities of the Company. All existing certificates of securities in issue bearing the present name of the Company shall, after the Change of Company Name having become effective, continue to be evidence of title to such securities of the Company and will continue to be valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes. There will not be any arrangement for free exchange of the existing certificates of securities of the Company for new certificates bearing the new names of the Company. Once the Change of Company Name has become effective, new certificates of securities will be issued in the new names of the Company.

Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company to inform the Shareholders of the results of the SGM, the effective date of the Change of Company Name and the new stock short name of the Shares on the Stock Exchange.

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll.

The poll results of the SGM will be published on the websites of the Stock Exchange and the Company after the SGM.

A form of proxy for use at the SGM is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you are able to attend the SGM, you are requested to complete the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the Company’s Hong Kong branch share registrar, Union Registrars Limited, at 18th Floor, Fook Lee Commercial Centre, Town Place, 33 Lockhart Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong as soon as possible but in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding of the SGM or any adjournment thereof.
