PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME AND NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

1. INTRODUCTION

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The purpose of this circular is to give you (i) further information regarding the Proposed Change of Company Name; and (ii) the notice of the SGM at which a special resolution will be proposed to the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Proposed Change of Company Name.

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Board proposed to change the Company’s English name from “Topsearch International (Holdings) Limited” to “China HKBridge Holdings Limited” and the adoption of the Chinese name “ 中國港橋控股有限公司 ” as the secondary name of the Company to replace its existing name in Chinese “ 至卓國際(控股)有限公司 ” which is currently used for identification purposes only.

REASONS FOR THE CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Company is principally engaged in manufacturing and sale of a broad range of printed circuit boards. As disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 23 March 2016, the Company plans to expand its business to the carrying out of managing assets and funds for clients as well as financial investments from available investment monies of the Company including but not limited to securities, bonds and debentures of companies on discretionary basis. As disclosed in the Company’s circular dated 30 September 2016, the Company, through its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Hong Kong Bridge Investments Limited (“HKBI”), has submitted its application to the Securities and Futures Commission (“SFC”) for the necessary licenses to conduct Type 4 (Advising on Securities) and Type 9 (Asset Management) regulated activities as defined under the Securities and Futures Ordinance (“SFO”). The SFC has approved HKBI to conduct Type 4 (Advising on Securities) and Type 9 (Asset Management) regulated activities under section 127(1) of the SFO with effect from 21 December 2016. The approval is subject to licensing conditions that HKBI shall not hold client assets (as defined under the SFO) and HKBI shall only provide services to professional investors (as defined under the SFO and its subsidiary legislation). Therefore, the Board considers that the Proposed Change of Company Name will provide the Group with better identification of its future business and a new corporate identity and image, which is in alignment with the Company’s long-term strategic targets.

The Board is of the view that the Proposed Change of Company Name is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

CONDITIONS OF THE CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Proposed Change of Company Name is subject to:

  • (a) the approval of the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda having been obtained for the Proposed Change of Company Name; and

  • (b) the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders approving the Proposed Change of Company Name at the SGM.

The relevant filings with the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda will be made after the passing of the special resolution at the SGM.

Subject to 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 Bermuda enters the new English name and the Chinese secondary name of the Company on the register in place of the existing English name of the Company. Thereafter, the Company will carry out all necessary filing procedures with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong.

EFFECTS OF THE CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

Notwithstanding the Proposed Change of Company Name, the overall strategies of the Company remain unchanged.

The Proposed Change of Company Name will not affect any of the rights of the Shareholders. All existing share certificates in issue bearing the existing name of the Company shall, after the Proposed Change of Company Name becoming effective, continue to be evidence of title to such securities, and the existing share certificates will continue to be valid for trading, settlement and registration purposes.

There will not be any arrangements for free exchange of the existing share certificates of the Company for new share certificates under the new name of the Company. However, only new share certificates of the Company will be issued under the new name of the Company after the Proposed Change of Company Name has become effective.

Subject to the confirmation of the Stock Exchange, the English and Chinese stock short names of the Company for trading in the shares of the Company on the Stock Exchange will also be changed after the Proposed Change of Company Name becomes effective.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company to inform the Shareholders of the effective date of the Proposed Change of Company Name, the new English and Chinese stock short names of the Company for trading in the shares of the Company on the Stock Exchange and the new website address of the Company as and when appropriate.

SGM

The SGM Notice is set out on pages 8 to 9 of this circular.

The SGM will be convened for the purpose of obtaining approval from the Shareholders for the Proposed Change of Company Name and to authorise the Board to determine and deal with matters relating thereto, at its discretion with full authority.

Proxy form for use at the SGM is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you intend to attend the SGM, you are requested to complete the proxy form in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return it to the branch share registrar of the Company, Tricor Tengis Limited, at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the SGM. Completion and return of a proxy form will not preclude Shareholders from attending and voting at the SGM if they so wish and in such event, the proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.

VOTING BY WAY OF POLL

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, all votes at the SGM will be taken by way of poll except where the chairman, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. The Company will announce the results of the poll in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the special resolution to be proposed at the SGM.
