LETTER FROM THE BOARD
PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
As captioned in the announcement of the Company dated 28 November 2019, the Board proposes to change the English name of the Company from “LEAP Holdings Group Limited” to “OKG Technology Holdings Limited”, and to change the dual foreign name of the Company in Chinese from “前進控股集團有限公司” to “歐科雲鏈控股有限公司”, subject to the conditions as set out in the paragraph headed “Conditions for the Proposed Change of Company Name” below.
Conditions for the Proposed Change of Company Name
The Change of Company Name will be subject to the following conditions:
-
(i) the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders approving the Change of Company Name at the EGM; and
-
(ii) the Registrar granting approval for the Change of Company Name by issuing a certificate of incorporation on change of name.
The relevant filing with the Registrar will be made after the passing of the special resolution at the EGM. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set out above, the Change of Company Name will take effect on the date on which the certificate of incorporation on change of name is issued by the Registrar. The Company will 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 Group’s major sources of revenue for the six months ended 30 September 2019 were from foundation works and ancillary services, construction wastes handling services, technology services, money lending business and investments in securities. The Board from time to time evaluates the business strategies of the Group. In the year of 2019, the Group has commenced the business in provision of technology services and made investments in the areas of data and information technology. In November 2019, OKLink Fintech Limited, an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was awarded the “Hong Kong Rising Star” by Deloitte China.
The Board believes that the Change of Company Name will better reflect the Group’s business strategy and provide the Company with more appropriate corporate image and identity. Therefore, the Board is of the view that the Change of Company Name is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Effects of the Proposed Change of Company Name
The Change of Company Name will not affect any rights of the holders of the Securities or the daily business operation or the financial position of the Company.
All the existing Securities certificates in issue bearing the present name of the Company will, after the Change of Company Name has become effective, continue to be evidence of title to such Securities and the existing Securities certificates will continue to be valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes. There will not be any arrangement for exchange of the existing certificates of Securities for new certificates bearing the new name of the Company. Thereafter, any new certificates of Securities will be issued under the new name of the Company.
EGM
Set out on pages 6 to 7 is a notice convening the EGM to be held at 7/F, Nexxus Building, 77 Des Voeux Road Central, Hong Kong on Tuesday, 7 January 2020 at 11:00 a.m. at which a special resolution will be proposed to the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the Change of Company Name and the transactions contemplated thereunder.
A form of proxy for use at the EGM is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you are able to attend the EGM, you are requested to complete the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the Hong Kong branch share registrar of the Company, Union Registrars Limited, at Suites 3301-04, 33/F., Two Chinachem Exchange Square, 338 King’s Road, North Point, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed (i.e. 5 January 2020 at 11:00 a.m.) for the holding of the EGM or any adjourned meeting.
