CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized 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.

Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

To the Shareholders,

Dear Sir or Madam,

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME; PROPOSED ADOPTION OF THE NEW MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION; AND NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

1. INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 9 August 2022. The purpose of this circular is to give the Shareholders the Notice and to provide the Shareholders with all the information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the proposed matters which include, inter alia, (1) the Proposed Change of Company Name; and (2) the proposed amendments to the Existing Memorandum and Articles of Association and adoption of the New Memorandum and Articles of Association.

The Notice is set out on pages EGM-1 to EGM-3 of this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 9 August 2022, the Board proposes to change the English name of the Company from “Niche-Tech Group Limited” to “Niche-Tech Semiconductor Materials Limited” and change the dual foreign name in Chinese of the Company from “駿碼科技集團有限公司” to “駿碼半導體材料有限公司”.

Conditions of the Proposed Change of Company Name

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

  • (a) the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting to consider, and if thought fit, approve the Proposed Change of Company Name; and

  • (b) the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands having approved the Proposed Change of Company Name by issuing a certificate of incorporation on change of name.

Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set out above, the Proposed Change of Company Name will take effect from the date on which the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands enters the new English name and dual foreign name in Chinese of the Company in place of the current English name and the dual foreign name in Chinese of the Company on the register of companies and issues a certificate of incorporation on change of name. The Company will then carry out the necessary filing procedures with the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong pursuant to Part 16 of the Companies Ordinance (Chapter 622 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

Reasons for the Proposed Change of Company Name

The Board considers that the proposed new names of the Company will better reflect the Company’s strategic business plan to seek business opportunities in different business segments in the future and its direction of future development. The Board is of the opinion that the proposed new names of the Company can provide the Company with a more appropriate corporate image and identity which will benefit the Company’s future business development, and is thus 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 of the rights of the Shareholders or the Company’s daily business operation and its financial position.

All existing share certificates in issue bearing the Company’s existing names shall continue to be evidence of legal title to the shares of the Company and valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes. Accordingly, there will not be any arrangement for free exchange of existing share certificates for new share certificates bearing the new names of the Company. Once the Proposed Change of Company Name becomes effective, share certificates of the Company will be issued in the new names of the Company and the shares of the Company will be traded on the GEM under the new names.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In addition, subject to confirmation by the Stock Exchange, the English and Chinese stock short names of the Company for trading of the Shares on the GEM will also be changed upon the Proposed Change of Company Name becoming effective.

3. PROPOSED ADOPTION OF THE NEW MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

The Board proposes to adopt the New Memorandum and Articles of Association to, amongst others, (i) reflect the Proposed Change of Company Name, and (ii) comply with other relevant changes to the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. A summary of the Proposed Amendments is set out in Appendix I to this circular. The Chinese translation of the New Memorandum and Articles of Association is for reference only. In case of any discrepancy or inconsistency between the English version and its Chinese translation, the English version shall prevail.

The Proposed Amendments and the proposed adoption of the New Memorandum and Articles of Association are subject to the approval of the Shareholders by way of a special resolution and the passing of the special resolution approving the Proposed Change of Company Name by the Shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting. If the Proposed Change of Company Name and the proposed adoption of the New Memorandum and Articles of Association are approved, the New Memorandum and Articles of Association will take effect from the date on which the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands enters the new English name and dual foreign name in Chinese of the Company in place of the current names of the Company on the register of companies and issues a certificate of incorporation on change of name.

The Company has been advised by its legal advisers that the Proposed Amendments conform with the requirements of the GEM Listing Rules and the laws of the Cayman Islands, respectively. The Company also confirms that there is nothing unusual about the New Memorandum and Articles of Association for a company listed in Hong Kong. The Board proposes to put forward to the Shareholders for approval at the Extraordinary General Meeting a special resolution to adopt the New Memorandum and Articles of Association.
