LETTER FROM THE BOARD
PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
The Board announced on 14 February 2018 that it proposed to change the English name of the Company from “OP Financial Investments Limited” to “OP Financial Limited”, and to adopt the Chinese name “東英金融有限公司” for identification purpose only in place of its existing Chinese name “東英金融投資有限公司”, subject to the conditions set out below being fulfilled.
CONDITIONS FOR THE PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
The Proposed Change of Company Name is subject to the following conditions having been satisfied:
-
(i) the passing of a special resolution by the shareholders of the Company at the EGM to approve the Proposed Change of Company Name; and
-
(ii) the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands granting approval for the new English name of the Company.
Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set out above, the Proposed Change of Company Name will take effect from the date of registration of the new English name of the Company in place of the existing English name of the Company by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands. Thereafter, the Company will carry out the necessary filing procedures with the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong.
REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
According to the Hang Seng Industry Classification System adopted by HKEx, the Company is assigned to financial industry. The Board is of the view that the Proposed Change of Company Name will make the Company more easily identifiable for investors, renew the corporate image and identity which will benefit the Company’s future business development and is in the best interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.
Effect of the Proposed Change of Company Name
The Proposed Change of Company Name will not affect any rights of the shareholders of the Company or the Company’s daily business operation and its financial position. All existing share certificates in issue bearing the existing name of the Company shall, upon the Proposed Change of Company Name becoming effective, continue to be evidence of legal title to the shares of the Company and the existing share certificates will continue to be valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes. Accordingly, there will not be any arrangement for exchange of the existing share certificates of the Company for new share certificates bearing the new name of the Company.
Once the Proposed Change of Company Name becomes effective, new share certificates will be issued only in the new name of the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
In addition, subject to the confirmation of the Stock Exchange, the English and Chinese stock short names of the Company for trading of the Shares on the Stock Exchange will also be changed after the Proposed Change of Company Name becomes effective.
EGM AND PROXY ARRANGEMENT
The Company will convene the EGM at 11:00 a.m. on 22 March 2018 at 27/F, Two Exchange Square, 8 Connaught Place, Central, Hong Kong to consider and, if thought fit, approve, among other things, the Proposed Change of Company Name.
A notice convening the EGM is set out on pages 6 to 7 of this circular. Whether or not you intend to attend the EGM, you are requested to complete and return the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon to the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Abacus Limited at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time of the EGM (i.e. at or before 11:00 a.m. on 20 March 2018 (Hong Kong time)) or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the EGM or any adjournment thereof should you so wish.
Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of Shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll. Accordingly, the resolution proposed at the EGM will be taken by way of poll. An announcement on the poll results will be made by the Company after the EGM in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.
RECOMMENDATION
The Directors consider that the resolution as set out in the notice of the EGM is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution.

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.
