LETTER FROM THE BOARD
“ ” (which was adopted for identification purpose only) (the “Change of Company Name”). A special resolution will be proposed at the SGM for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the Change of Company Name.
2.1 Reasons for the Change of Company Name
The proposed Change of Company Name is to align with the corporate strategy of the Company in diversifying into natural gas downstream distribution and application business.
The Board believes that the new company name can provide the Company with a more appropriate identification and image which will benefit the Company’s future business development and is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
2.2 Conditions for the Change of Company Name
The Change of Company Name is subject to (a) the approval by the Shareholders by way of a special resolution at the SGM; and (b) the approval by the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda having been obtained. The relevant filing with the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda will be made after the passing of the special resolution at the SGM.
2.3 Effects on the Change of Company Name
Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set out above, the Change of Company Name will take effect from the date on which the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda enters the new name (together with the secondary name) on the register in place of the existing name. Thereafter, the Company will carry out any necessary filing procedures in Hong Kong as required under the applicable laws, rules and regulations of Hong Kong.
The Change of Company Name will not affect any of the rights of the Shareholders. All existing share certificates in issue bearing the Company’s existing name shall continue to be evidence of the title and valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery for the same number of Shares in the new name of the Company. There will not be any arrangements for free exchange of existing share certificates for new share certificates under the new name of the Company. Once the Change of Company Name becomes effective, the Shares will be traded under the new stock short name and any issue of share certificates will be under the new name of the Company.
Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company to inform the Shareholders the results of the SGM, the effective date of the Change of Company Name and the change of stock short name of the Company respectively.
