REASONS FOR THE CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
The Group is principally engaged in film distribution and exhibition, licensing and sublicensing of film rights, properties and securities investment, money lending, trade, wholesale and retail of optical products, watch and jewellery products, securities brokerage and margin financing, training and coaching. As announced by the Company on 21 August 2015, the Group entered into an agreement to acquire a Company licensed under the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong) to carry out Type 1 (dealing in securities) and Type 4 (advising on securities) regulated activities. Completion of such acquisition took place in November 2015. It is the intention of the Group to leverage on the expertise of the management in such licensed corporation to further develop the securities brokerage and margin financing and money lending business of the Group.
The Board considers that the Change of Company Name will better reflect the current status of the Group and its direction of future development. The Board is of the opinion that the new name of the Company will provide the Group with a more suitable corporate image and identity which will benefit the Group’s future business development.
The Board believes that the Change of Company Name is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
EFFECT OF THE CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
The Change of Company Name will not affect any rights of the holders of securities of the Company. The existing certificates of securities in issue bearing the present name of the Company will, 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, registration and delivery purposes. There will not be any arrangement for exchange of the existing certificates of securities for new certificates bearing the new name of the Company. Once the Change of Company Name becomes effective, new certificates of securities will be issued only in the new name of the Company.
Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company to inform the Shareholders of the results of the SGM, the effective date of the Change of Company Name and the new stock short name of the Company for trading of the shares of the Company on the Stock Exchange.
GENERAL
The SGM will be convened to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Change of Company Name. A circular containing, among other things, information in relation to the Change of Company Name and a notice convening the SGM to approve the Change of Company Name will be despatched to the Shareholders on or before 6 June 2016.
