To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

(1) PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME; (2) PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE ARTICLES; AND (3) NOTICE OF EGM

1. INTRODUCTION

References are made to the announcement of the Company dated 30 January 2026 and 5 February 2026 in relation to, among other things, the proposed Change of Company Name, and the proposed amendments to the Articles. The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information about, among other things, (1) the proposed Change of Company Name; (2) the proposed amendments to the Articles; and (3) a notice convening the EGM. The proposed Change of Company Name and the proposed amendments to the Articles are subject to, among other things, the approval by the Shareholders, by way of poll, at the EGM.

{5}------------------------------------------------

2. PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Board proposed to change the English name of the Company from ''Sinohope Technology Holdings Limited'' to ''Bitfire Group Holdings Limited'', and to change the dual foreign name in Chinese of the Company from ''新火科技控股有限公司'' to ''新火集團控股有限公司''.

Conditions of the Change of Company Name

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

• (i) the passing of the necessary special resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM to approve the Change of Company Name; and
• (ii) the Registrar of Corporate Affairs in the British Virgin Islands approving the Change of Company Name and entering the new names of the Company on the register.

Subject to the satisfaction of the above conditions, the Change of Company Name will take effect from the date of the issuance by the Registrar of Corporate Affairs in the British Virgin Islands of a certificate of the change of name of the Company. The Company will then carry out all necessary registration and/or filing procedures with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs in the British Virgin Islands and the Companies Registry in Hong Kong.

Reason for the Change of Company Name

The Board believes that the proposed Change of Company Name will better reflect the Company's strategic direction in the future, and will provide a fresh corporate image to benefit the Group's future business development and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Effect of the Change of Company Name

The Change of Company Name, upon becoming effective, will not in any way affect any of the rights of the Shareholders. All the existing share certificates of the Company in issue including the existing share certificates bearing the present name of the Company will, after the Change of Company Name becomes effective, continue to be effective as evidence of title to the Shares and will remain valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes.

Accordingly, there will not be any arrangement for free exchange of the existing share certificates in issue bearing the old names of the Company for the new share certificates bearing the new names of the Company. Once the Change of Company Name becomes effective, any issue of new share certificates will be under the new English and dual foreign name in Chinese of the Company.

Thereafter, existing share certificates for the existing Shares and in the existing name of the Company will continue to be good evidence of legal title, and may be exchanged for new share certificates issued in the new name of the Company at any time at the expense of the

{6}------------------------------------------------

Shareholders. Each share certificate for exchange will be accepted for exchange only on payment of a fee of HK\$2.50 (or such higher amount as may from the time to time be specified by the Stock Exchange) for each new share certificate or each share certificate submitted for cancellation, whichever the number of certificates issued or cancelled is higher. It is expected that the new share certificates printed in the Company's new name will be available for collection within 10 Business Days from the date of submission for the existing share certificates to the share registrar for exchange.

In addition, subject to the confirmation of the Stock Exchange, the Company intends to change the stock short name of the Company for trading of the Shares on the Stock Exchange after the Change of Company Name becomes effective.

The Company will make further announcement(s) to inform the Shareholders of the results of the EGM, the effective date of the Change of Company Name, the new stock short name of the Company under which the Shares will be traded on the Stock Exchange and the new website address and logo of the Company in due course.

3. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE ARTICLES

To reflect the proposed Change of Company Name, the Board proposes to make certain amendments to the Articles and seek the approval of the Shareholders by way of a special resolution for the proposed amendments to the Articles at the EGM.

The Board proposed to amend the existing Articles for the purposes of, among other things, (i) enabling the Company to hold hybrid and electronic meetings and permitting electronic voting, to allow the Shareholders to virtually attend, participate and vote by means of specified conferencing application and/or communication facilities and making corresponding amendments on the related proceedings and procedures as regards the general meetings of the Company; (ii) bringing the existing Articles in line with the latest regulatory requirements in relation to the further expanded paperless listing regime under the Listing Rules; (iii) providing the Company with the flexibility to hold treasury shares (as defined in the Listing Rules) in view of the treasury share regime under the Listing Rules; and (iv) incorporating certain minor consequential and housekeeping amendments (collectively the ''Updating Amendments'').

Proposed Amendments to the Memorandum of Association of the Company for the Change of Company Name

The existing memorandum of association of the Company shall be amended on page 1, on the heading of page 2, and in the article 1 by deleting the name ''Sinohope Technology Holdings Limited'' and substituting therefor with ''Bitfire Group Holdings Limited'', and deleting the foreign character name ''新火科技控股有限公司'' shown therein and substituting with ''新火集團控股有限公司''.

{7}------------------------------------------------

Proposed Amendments to the Articles of Association of the Company for the Change of Company Name

The existing articles of association of the Company shall be amended on the heading of page 6 and the definition of the ''Company'' on page 7 by deleting the name ''Sinohope Technology Holdings Limited'' and substituting with ''Bitfire Group Holdings Limited'', and deleting the foreign character name ''新火科技控股有限公司'' shown therein and substituting with ''新火集團控股有限公司''.

The Updating Amendments to the Articles of Association of the Company

In addition to the above amendments for the proposed Change of Company Name, details of further proposed amendments to the Articles are set out in the Appendix to this circular.

Special Resolutions

A special resolution will be proposed at the EGM to approve the above proposed amendments to the Articles. The above proposed amendments to the Articles shall be subject to the approval of the Shareholders by way of a special resolution at the EGM, and will become effective upon the passing of such special resolution at the EGM.

The Company's legal advisers as to Hong Kong laws and BVI Islands laws have confirmed that the proposed amendments to the Articles conform with the requirements of the Listing Rules and do not violate the BVI Islands laws, respectively. The Company also confirms that there is nothing unusual about the proposed amendments to the Articles for a company listed in Hong Kong.

In accordance with article 14 of the existing memorandum of association of the Company and article 33 of the existing articles of association of the Company, the proposed amendments to the Articles shall be subject to the approval by the Shareholders by way of a special resolution.

Subject to and forthwith upon the Change of Company Name taking effect and upon the special resolution at the EGM being resolved, the amended and restated Articles which will consolidate all of the above proposed amendments to the Articles will be approved, adopted and become effective as the new Articles in substitution for and to the exclusion of the existing Articles of the Company, and that any one director of the Company be and is hereby authorised to do all such acts, deeds, matters and things as he/she may in his/her absolute discretion consider necessary or desirable or expedient for the implementation of and giving effect to the adoption of the amended and restated Articles and to attend to any necessary registration and/or filing for and on behalf of the Company.
