Dear Sir or Madam,
PROPOSED CHANGE OF NAME OF THE COMPANY AND NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
1. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with Notice of the EGM, and information in respect of the Special Resolution to be proposed at the EGM to be held on 11 October 2011 at 10:30am at 8th Floor, Liven House, 61-63 King Yip Street, Kwun Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong for the approval of the Proposed Change of Company Name.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
2. CHANGE OF NAME OF THE COMPANY
The Board proposes to change the name of the Company from “Lee & Man Holding Limited” to “Lee & Man Chemical Company Limited 理文化工有限公司” of which the Chinese name also replaces its existing Chinese name “理文集團有限公司” (which has been used by the Company for identification purposes only).
Conditions for the Proposed Change of Company Name
The Proposed Change of Company Name is subject to (i) the passing of the Special Resolution by the Members at the EGM approving the Proposed Change of Company Name; and (ii) the approval of the use of the proposed new English and Chinese names of the Company by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands.
The Company will carry out the necessary filing procedures with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands. The new names of the Company will take effect from the date on which the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands enters the new names of the Company on the register in place of the former name. The Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands is expected to issue the certificate of incorporation on change of name thereafter and the Company will then complete the necessary filing procedures with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong and is expected to submit all relevant documents to The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.
Reason for the Proposed Change of Company Name
The Board considers that the Proposed Change of Company Name will better reflect the scope of the Company’s business of manufacturing and selling chemical products. Overall, the Board believes that the Proposed Change of Company Name is in the interest of the Company and the Members.
Effect of the Proposed Change of Company Name
The Proposed Change of Company Name will not affect any of the rights of the Members. All existing share certificates of the Company in issue bearing the existing English name of the Company will, after the Proposed Change of Company Name becoming effective, continue to be evidence of title to the Shares and will remain to be valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes. Accordingly, there will not be any arrangement for free exchange of the existing share certificates for new share certificates bearing the new English and Chinese names of the Company.
Upon the Proposed Change of Company Name becoming effective, any new share certificates of the Company will be issued under the new English and Chinese names of the Company, and the English and Chinese stock short names of the Company will also be changed.
The Company will make a further announcement to inform Members of the effective date of the Proposed Change of Company Name and the trading arrangement in respect of the new stock short names of the Company.

The completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude a Member from attending and voting at the EGM if so wished, and in such event, the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.
4. LISTING RULES REQUIREMENT
According to rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of Members at a general meeting must be taken by poll. Therefore, the Special Resolution put to the vote at the EGM will be taken by way of poll.
