LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED ADOPTION OF THE NEW CHINESE COMPANY NAME

The Board intends to put forward a proposal for the Shareholders to approve the adoption of the New Chinese Company Name to replace the existing Chinese name “科諾 威德國際有限公司”.

The Board believes that the proposed adoption of the New Chinese Company Name will strengthen the Group’s brand image in its PRC market and the Group’s competitiveness in its principal business and accordingly will be in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The proposed adoption of the New Chinese Company Name to replace the current Chinese name “科諾威德國際有限公司” is subject to the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM. In connection with the proposed adoption of the New Chinese Company Name, the Company will apply to the Stock Exchange for a change in the Chinese stock short name for trading of the Shares on the Stock Exchange. Further announcement will be made by the Company to inform the Shareholders the effective date of adoption of the New Chinese Company Name and the change of the Chinese stock short name for trading of the Shares on the Stock Exchange.

The proposed adoption of the New Chinese Company Name will not affect any of the rights of the Shareholders. All existing share certificates in issue bearing the existing Chinese Company Name will, after the proposed adoption of the New Chinese Company Name becoming effective, continue to be evidence of title respectively to the Shares and will be valid for trading, settlement and registration purposes. Accordingly, there will not be any arrangement for free exchange of existing share certificates for new share certificates bearing the New Chinese Company Name. Once the proposed adoption of the New Chinese Company Name becomes effective, any issue of share certificates will bear the New Chinese Company Name.

In addition, as registered names of companies incorporated in Singapore cannot bear any Chinese characters under the relevant laws and regulations of Singapore, the New Chinese Company Name will not be registered with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority of Singapore.

EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

A notice convening the EGM is set out on page 6 of this circular. The EGM will be convened for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing the special resolution to approve the adoption of the New Chinese Company Name.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, and to the best knowledge, belief and information of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder is required under the Listing Rules to abstain from voting on the resolution regarding the proposed adoption of the New Chinese Company Name at the EGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

A form of proxy for use at the EGM is sent to the Shareholders together with this circular. Whether or not the Shareholders are able to attend the EGM, the Shareholders are requested to complete and return the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time for holding of the EGM or adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude the Shareholders from attending and voting at the EGM or any adjourned meeting thereof should the Shareholders so wish.

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of the Shareholders at the EGM must be taken by poll.

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

This circular, for which the Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the 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.

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors consider that the proposed adoption of the New Chinese Company Name is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Board recommends the Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant resolution to be proposed at the EGM.

GENERAL

The English text of this circular and proxy form shall prevail over the Chinese text.
