CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a high investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the 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. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.
Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, 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.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
The Board announced on 27 April 2010 that it would put forward a proposal to the Shareholders that the English name of the Company be changed from “Cardlink Technology Group Limited” to “Phoenitron Holdings Limited” and the Chinese name of the Company be changed from “ ” to “ ”, subject to the conditions set out below being fulfilled.
Reasons for the change of name of the Company
The Board believes that the Proposed Change of Company Name will benefit its future business development as the new name will better reflect the recent expansion and diversification of the Company’s businesses which is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. In addition, the new name can also refresh the Company’s corporate image and identity.
Conditions
The Proposed Change of Company Name will be subject to the following:
-
the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders approving the Proposed Change of Company Name at the EGM; and
-
the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands entering the new name on the register maintained by it in place of the existing name of the Company.
The new name of the Company will take effect from the date of entry of the new name on the register maintained by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands. The Company will carry out all necessary filing procedures with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands as and when appropriate.
Effects on change of the name of the Company
The change of the name of the Company will not affect any rights of the holders of securities of the Company or the Company’s daily business operation and its financial position.
All existing certificates of securities in issue bearing the present name of the Company shall, after the proposed change of the name of the Company becoming effective, continue to be evidence of title to such securities and the existing share 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 share certificates bearing the new name of the Company. Once the change of the name of the Company becomes effective, new share certificates will be issued only in the new name of the Company.
The Company will make further announcements as and when appropriate on the results of the EGM, the effective dates of the change of the name of the Company and the new stock short name of the Shares.
