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.

Dear Sirs or Madams,
PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
AND
NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
INTRODUCTION
Reference is made to the Announcement. The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information in respect of the special resolution to be proposed at the EGM to be held on Friday, 12 December 2025, and to give you notice of the EGM.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
The Board proposes to change the English name of the Company from “Classified Group (Holdings) Limited” to “THAC Group (Holdings) Limited” and to adopt “一木集團(控股)有限公司” as the dual foreign name in Chinese of the Company.
Conditions for the Proposed Change of Company Name
The Proposed Change of Company Name is subject to the following conditions:
(i) passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders to approve the Proposed Change of Company Name at the EGM; and
(ii) the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands issuing a certificate of incorporation on change of name.
Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set out above, the Proposed Change of Company Name will take effect from the date on which the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands enters the new English name and the dual foreign name in Chinese of the Company on the register of companies maintained by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands. The Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands will issue a certificate of incorporation on change of name thereafter. The Company will then comply with the necessary registration and/or filing procedures with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong.
Reasons for the Proposed Change of Company Name
The Board considers the Proposed Change of Company Name will provide the Company with a more defined corporate image and identity which will benefit the Company's future business development. The Board believes that the Proposed Change of Company Name is in the 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, of itself, affect the rights of any Shareholders or the Company's daily business operation and its financial position. Once the Proposed Change of Company Name has become effective, any new share certificates of the Company issued thereafter will bear the new name of the Company.
All existing share certificates of the Company bearing the existing names of the Company will, after the Proposed Change of Company Name becomes effective, continue to be valid evidence of title to the Shares and will continue to be valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes. As such, no arrangement will be made for the exchange of the existing share certificates of the Company for the new share certificates bearing the Company's new name as a result of the Proposed Change of Company Name.
