CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration.
Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
PROPOSED CHANGE OF NAME
The Board proposes to change the English name of the Company from ‘‘Icicle Group Holdings Limited’’ to ‘‘SV Vision Limited’’ and adopt the Chinese name ‘‘華美樂樂有限公司’’ as its new dual foreign name to replace its existing Chinese name ‘‘冰雪集團控股有限公司’’, subject to the conditions of the Proposed Change of Name set out below being fulfilled.
REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED CHANGE OF NAME
In order to develop the Group’s business and to cope with the challenging market conditions, the Group is to extending its marketing production business to encompass activities with digital capabilities that its clients will increasingly require. As such, during the slowdown in marketing production business through the pandemic, the Group has secured an opportunity to partner with a US-based media company that is active in the youth market segment. The partnership was officially launched in mid-2021 with its operation set up in mainland China, targeting to bridge the Chinese and US brands. This business has shown promising potential and the Group is seeing satisfactory developments in commercialisation based on the viewership and engagements to the content we produced. As this business develops, the Group is also seeking to establish and increase its local presence in the US, to cultivate industry relationships and capture growth opportunities in content production and beyond.
The Board considers the Proposed Change of 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.

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.

VOTING BY POLL
Pursuant to Rule 17.47 of the GEM Listing Rules, any resolution put to the vote of the Shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll except where the chairman of the Extraordinary General Meeting, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. The chairperson of the meeting will therefore demand a poll for every resolution put to the vote of the EGM pursuant to Article 72 of the Articles of Association and the Company will announce the results of the poll in the manner prescribed under Rule 17.47(5) of the GEM Listing Rules.
On a poll, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy or, in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation, by its duly authorised representative, shall have one vote for every fully paid Share of which he/she/it is the holder. A Shareholder entitled to more than one vote need not use all his/her/its votes or cast all the votes he/she/it uses in the same way.
To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the resolution to be proposed at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
RECOMMENDATION
The Directors consider that the Proposed Change of Name is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and, accordingly, the Directors recommend all Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant resolution to be proposed at the Extraordinary General Meeting to approve the Proposed Change of Name.
RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT
This circular, for which the Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the GEM Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief, the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.
Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of the Board Icicle Group Holdings Limited Woo Chan Tak Chi Bonnie
