CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and midsized 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 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 AND NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide Shareholders with information in respect of the special resolution to be proposed at the EGM to seek approval of the Shareholders in respect of the Proposed Change of Company Name.

– 2 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

References are made to the announcements of the Company dated 24 September 2020, 4 December 2020 and 29 January 2021, in relation to the Proposed Change of Company Name. The English name of the Company, “Omnibridge Holdings Limited” remains unchanged. The Company intends to put forward to the Shareholders for their approval of a special resolution that the dual foreign name in Chinese of the Company be changed from “橋英控股有限公司” to “中安控股集 團有限公司”.

CONDITIONS

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

  • (1) the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders to approve the Proposed Change of Company Name at the EGM; and

  • (2) the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands granting approval for the Proposed Change of Company Name.

Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set out above, the Proposed Change of Company Name will take effect from the date of issue of the Certificate of Incorporation on Change of Name by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands. The Company will then carry out the necessary filing procedures with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong.

Reasons for the Proposed Change of Company Name

As the Group has set up a wholly-owned subsidiary to engage in the business of introducing and/or procuring job opportunities in the financial services and wealth management industry in Singapore and Hong Kong, the Board considers that the Proposed Change of Company Name will better reflect the current status of the Group’s business development and its direction of future development. The Proposed Change of Company Name can facilitate the promotion of the Group’s recognition in the markets in the People’s Republic of China and Hong Kong which will benefit the Company’s business development. The Board believes that the new Chinese 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.

Effect on the Proposed Change of Company Name

The Proposed Change of Company Name will not affect the rights of any Shareholder or holders of securities of the Company or the Company’s daily business operation and its financial position. All existing share certificates of the Company in issue bearing the existing name of the Company will, upon the Proposed Change of Company Name becoming effective, continue to be valid evidence of legal title to the Shares and will continue to be valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes.

– 3 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Accordingly, there will not be any arrangement for the free exchange of the existing share certificates for new share certificates bearing the new name of the Company. Should the Proposed Change of Company Name become effective, any issue of share certificates thereafter will bear the new name of the Company and the securities of the Company will be traded on the Stock Exchange under the new name. The Board intends to change the stock short name accordingly after the Proposed Change of Company Name becomes effective, subject to the confirmation of the Stock Exchange.

In addition, subject to the confirmation of the Stock Exchange, the stock short name for trading in the Shares will also be changed after the Proposed Change of Company Name becoming effective.

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 following the Proposed Change of Company Name. The stock code of the Company will remain as “8462”.

EGM

Set out on pages 6 to 7 of this circular is a notice convening the EGM for the Shareholders to consider and, if appropriate, to approve the special resolution relating to the Proposed Change of Company Name.

A form of proxy for use at the EGM is enclosed herewith. Whether or not you are able to attend and/or vote at the EGM in person, you are requested to complete and return the enclosed form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for holding the EGM or any adjournment thereof to the office of the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited, Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong.

Therefore, the chairman of the EGM will demand a poll for each and every resolution put forward at the EGM pursuant to the Articles.
