LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

Reference is made to the Announcement. The Board proposes to change the English name of the Company from “Ri Ying Holdings Limited” to “Shing Chi Holdings Limited” and the dual foreign name in Chinese of the Company from “日贏控股有限公司” to “成志控股 有限公司”.

CONDITIONS FOR THE PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Proposed Change of Company Name is subject to the following conditions:

  1. the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM; and

  2. the approval by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands having been obtained for the Proposed Change of Company Name.

The relevant filing with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands will be made after the passing of the special resolution at the EGM. Subject to the 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 the Cayman Islands enters the new English name and dual foreign name in Chinese of the Company in place of the former English name and the dual foreign name in Chinese of the Company on the register of companies maintained by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands and issues a certificate of incorporation on change of name. Thereafter, the Company will carry out all necessary filing procedures with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong.

REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Board considers the Proposed Change of Company Name is more appropriate as it will provide the Company with a more defined corporate image and identity and better reflect the current direction for the Company’s future business development. The Board believes that the Proposed Change of Company Name is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Proposed Change of Company Name will not affect any of the rights of the existing Shareholders or the Company’s daily business operation and its financial position.

All existing share certificates of the Company in issue bearing the Company’s existing name shall, after the Proposed Change of Company Name becomes effective, continue to be valid evidence of legal title of the Shares and will continue to be valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes for the same number of shares in the new name of the Company. Accordingly, there will not be any arrangements for free exchange of existing share certificates for new share certificates bearing the new name of the Company. After the Proposed Change of Company Name becomes effective, new share certificates of the Company will be issued in the new name of the Company.

– 4 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In addition, subject to the confirmation by 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. The Company will make further announcement(s) as and when appropriate on the results of the EGM, the effective date(s) of the Proposed Change of Company Name and the new English and Chinese stock short names of the Company for trading in its Shares on the Stock Exchange.

PROPOSED ADOPTION OF THE THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

In order to reflect the Proposed Change of Company name, the Board also proposes to amend and restate the Existing Memorandum and Articles of Association to reflect the Proposed Change of Company Name with effect from the time the Proposed Change of Company Name takes effect.

The Board proposes to put forward to the Shareholders for approval at the EGM a special resolution to adopt the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association in substitute for and to the exclusion of the Existing Memorandum and Articles of Association. The proposed adoption of the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association is subject to the passing of the special resolution.

For details of the Proposed Amendments, please refer to Appendix I to this circular.

The Company has received a written confirmation from its Hong Kong legal advisers, confirming that the Proposed Amendments comply with the applicable provisions under the Listing Rules. The Company has also received a written confirmation from its Cayman Islands legal advisers, confirming that the Proposed Amendments comply with the applicable laws and regulations in Cayman Islands. The Company confirms that there is nothing unusual about the Proposed Amendments for a company listed on the Stock Exchange.

The Proposed Amendments will not affect any rights of the existing Shareholders. All existing rights and obligations of the Shareholders shall, after the proposed adoption of the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association becoming effective, continue to have the same rights and obligations.

PROPOSED REMOVAL OF DIRECTOR

As disclosed in the Announcement, the Board has resolved to convene the EGM for the purpose of considering and approving the Proposed Removal of Director in accordance with the Existing Memorandum and Articles of Association set forth below.

According to Article 114 of the Articles of Association, the Shareholders may by ordinary resolution remove any Director (including a managing director or other executive director) before the expiration of his/her term of office notwithstanding anything in these Articles or in any agreement between the Company and such Director (but without prejudice to any claim which such Director may have for damages for any breach of any contract between him and the Company).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED REMOVAL OF DIRECTOR

According to the announcement published by the Company dated 13 May 2024, certain published news have reported that Mr. Sun Wei, an executive Director, was alleged to be involved in a potential financial fraud in the People’s Republic of China (the “ PRC ”) (the “ Incident ”) and the Incident is currently under investigation by relevant authorities in the PRC. On 13 May 2024, the Board convened a meeting to discuss the Incident but was unable to directly contact or reach Mr. Sun Wei to obtain further information regarding the Incident. Having considered the above circumstances and in order to alleviate any concerns among the shareholders of the Company and the public, the Board has resolved to suspend all duties and powers of Mr. Sun Wei as the executive Director with immediate effect until further notice. Up to the Latest Practicable Date, the Board was still unable to directly contact or reach Mr. Sun Wei. As such, the Board considers that it would be in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole to remove Mr. Sun Wei from the office of a Director pursuant to the Existing Memorandum and Articles of Association.

The Board considers that there will not be a material adverse effect on the business operations of the Group if the Proposed Removal of Director becomes effective. Accordingly, the Board has resolved to put forward an ordinary resolution at the EGM for considering, and if thought fit, approving the resolution by the Shareholders. EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING The EGM will be convened and held at 6/F., Kai Tak Commercial Building, Nos. 317-319 Des Voeux Road Central, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong on 1 August 2024, Thursday at 11:00 a.m. for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, to pass the resolutions to approve the Proposed Change of Company Name, the proposed adoption of the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Proposed Removal of Director.

The notice convening the EGM is set out on pages 11 to 14 of this circular. Whether or not you intend to attend the EGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be), please complete and return the enclosed form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return it to the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited, at 17/F, Far East Finance Centre, 16 Harcourt Road, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event, not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for holding the EGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be).

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief and having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Shareholders has a material interest in the Proposed Change of Company Name, the proposed adoption of the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association nor the Proposed Removal of Director and no Shareholders will be required to abstain from voting on the resolutions to be proposed at the EGM.
