The health of our Shareholders, staff and stakeholders is of paramount importance to us. In view of the ongoing Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Company will implement the following precautionary measures at the Extraordinary General Meeting to protect attending Shareholders, staff and stakeholders from the risk of infection:

  • (i) Compulsory body temperature checks will be conducted for every Shareholder, proxy or other attendee at each entrance of the meeting venue. Any person with a body temperature of over 37.4 degrees Celsius may be denied entry into the meeting venue or be required to leave the meeting venue.

  • (ii) Each attendee must wear a surgical face mask throughout the meeting and inside the meeting venue, and to maintain a safe distance between seats.

Anyone who responds positively to any of these questions may be denied entry into the meeting venue or be required to leave the meeting venue.

In addition, the Company reminds all Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the meeting is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED CHANGE OF NAME

The Board considers the Proposed Change of Company Name will better reflect the future business plans and strategy of the Group. The Board also believes that new English and Chinese names of the Company will provide the Company with a fresh corporate image, which will benefit the Group in its future business development, and is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

CONDITIONS OF THE PROPOSED CHANGE OF NAME

The Proposed Change of Name is subject to:

  • (i) the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting approving the Proposed Change of Name; and

  • (ii) the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands approving the Proposed Change of Name by issuing a certificate of incorporation on change of name.

Subject to the satisfaction of the above conditions, the Proposed Change of Name will become effective from the date of the issue of the Certificate of Incorporation on Change of Name by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands.

The Company will then carry out the necessary filing procedures with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong.

EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED CHANGE OF NAME

The Proposed Change of Name will not affect any rights of the holders of securities of the Company or the Company’s daily business operation and its financial position. All existing certificates of securities in issue bearing the present name of the Company shall, upon the Proposed Change of 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. Subject to the confirmation of the Stock Exchange, the English and Chinese stock short names of the Company for trading in the Shares on the Stock Exchange will also be changed after the Proposed Change of Name becomes effective. Once the Proposed Change of Name becomes effective, new share certificates will be issued in the new name of the Company.

Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company in relation to the effective date of the Proposed Change of Name and details about the change of logo of the Company, the English and Chinese stock short names of the Company and the website address of the Company as and when appropriate.
