As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 8 December 2020, the Board proposed to adopt the Chinese name of ‘‘利特米有限公司’’ as the dual foreign name of the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. the Registrar granting approval for the Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name.

The relevant filings with the Registrar will be made after the passing of the special resolution at the EGM. Subject to satisfaction of the above conditions, the Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name will take effect from the date on which the Registrar enters the dual foreign name in Chinese of the Company on the register of companies maintained by it and issues a certificate of incorporation on adoption of dual foreign name to the Company. Thereafter, the Company will carry out all the necessary registration and/or filing procedures in Hong Kong.

Reasons for the Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name

The Company is an investment holding company, the subsidiaries of which principally engage in (i) distribution of animal feed additives and, to a lesser extent, human food ingredients; and (ii) manufacturing of animal feed additives premixes. The Board considers that the Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name can enhance the corporate image and identity of the Company. The Board believes that the Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name will benefit the Group in its future business development, and it is in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Effect of the Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name

The Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name will not affect any rights of the Shareholders.

Upon the Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name becoming effective, all the existing share certificates of the Company in issue bearing the existing name of the Company will continue to be good evidence of legal title to the Shares and will remain valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery of the Shares. There will not be any arrangement for free exchange of the existing share certificates of the Company for new share certificates bearing the English name and the new Chinese name of the Company. Any new share certificates of the Company issued upon the Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name becoming effective will bear both the existing English name and the new Chinese name of the Company.

In addition, subject to the confirmation by the Stock Exchange, the Chinese stock short name for trading of the Shares on the Stock Exchange will also be adopted upon the Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name becoming effective.

The Company will make further announcement(s) to inform the Shareholders of the results of the EGM, the effective date of the Proposed Adoption of Chinese Name and the new Chinese stock short name of the Company under which the Shares will be traded on the Stock Exchange as and when appropriate.

3. EGM AND PROXY ARRANGEMENT
