LETTER FROM THE BOARD
PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
The Board announced on 7 October 2020 that it proposed to change the English name of the Company from “OP Financial Limited” to “Wealthking Investments Limited”, and to adopt the Chinese name “華科資本有限公司” as the secondary name of the Company, 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 names 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 and Chinese names 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
The Board is of the view that the Proposed Change of Company Name will provide the Company with a new corporate image which shows the Company’s motivation to generate returns and create wealth for the Shareholders. Therefore, it will benefit the Company’s future business development and is in the best interests of the Company and the 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(s) of the Company. Once the Proposed Change of Company Name becomes effective, new share certificates will be issued only in the new name(s) of the Company.
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.
