To the Shareholders,

Dear Sir or Madam,

(1) PROPOSAL FOR REFRESHMENT OF THE SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME; (2) PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME; AND

(3) NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

1. INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 20 April 2015 that the Board proposes to change the English name of the Company from “Qualipak International Holdings Limited” to “China Optoelectronics Holding Group Co., Limited”, and to adopt “中國光電控 股集團有限公司” as Chinese secondary name to replace “確利達國際控股有限公司”.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you information on (i) the proposed Refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit; and (ii) the Proposed Name Change; and (iii) a notice of the SGM in respect to the above matters.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. REFRESHMENT OF THE SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

The Directors propose to seek the approval of the Shareholders at the SGM in relation to the Refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit.

The Company adopted the existing Share Option Scheme pursuant to an ordinary resolution passed on 18 May 2012.

Pursuant to the Listing Rules and the rules of the Share Option Scheme, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of all options available to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company may not exceed the Scheme Mandate Limit. The Scheme Mandate Limit may be refreshed by approval of the Shareholders in general meeting from time to time, provided that the total number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company as refreshed must not exceed 10% of the nominal amount of share capital of the Company in issue as at such date of approval. Options previously granted, outstanding, cancelled, lapsed or exercised in accordance with the terms of the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company are not counted for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed. Notwithstanding the above, the total number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company must not exceed 30% of the nominal amount of share capital of the Company in issue from time to time.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no option has been granted since its adoption on 18 May 2012 and the Company can grant up to 127,196,160 options under the existing Share Option Scheme. Assuming all options under the existing Share Option Scheme are granted and exercised, 127,196,160 Shares will be issued, representing approximately 4.42% of the existing issued share capital of the Company. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company currently does not contemplate to grant options under the Share Option Scheme in the near future and has no immediate plan to grant options under the Share Option Scheme.

Although the Company has 127,196,160 options that can be granted under the existing Share Option Scheme, in view of the substantial increase of issued share capital of the Company subsequent to the date of adoption of the Share Option Scheme (mainly due to the share subdivision and the bonus issue carried out by the Company as announced on 2 December 2014), the Board considers it appropriate to refresh the Scheme Mandate Limit so as to allow the Company to restore the available number of options to sufficient level (after being diluted by the substantial increase of the issued share capital of the Company as aforesaid) and to maintain the flexibility to grant options under the Share Option Scheme to reward eligible participants in recognition of their contributions to the Company.

Assuming that (i) no Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company from the Latest Practicable Date up to the SGM; (ii) the Bonus Issue is completed prior to the SGM; and (iii) the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit is approved by the Shareholders at the SGM, the Company will have 3,594,149,825 Shares in issue as at the date of the SGM, the refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit will allow the Company to issue under the Share Option Scheme a maximum of 359,414,982 Shares. In view of the aforesaid, the Directors believe that it is in the interest of the Company to refresh the Scheme Mandate Limit.

– 4 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit is conditional on:

  • (i) the passing by the Shareholders of an ordinary resolution to approve the Refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit at the SGM; and

  • (ii) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the options granted under the refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit.

Application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of and permission to deal in any Shares, representing 10% of the nominal amount of share capital of the Company in issue as at the date of the SGM, which may fall to be issued upon the exercise of any options that may be granted under the refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit.

3. PROPOSED NAME CHANGE

As stated in the announcement of the Company dated 20 April 2015, the Board proposes to change the English name of the Company from “Qualipak International Holdings Limited” to “China Optoelectronics Holding Group Co., Limited”, and to adopt “中國光電控股集團有限 公司” as Chinese secondary name to replace “確利達國際控股有限公司”.

The Proposed Name Change is subject to (i) approval of the Shareholders by way of a special resolution at the SGM; and (ii) approval of the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda. Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set out above, the Proposed Name Change will take effect from the date on which the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda enters the Company’s new English name and the Chinese secondary name on the register maintained by the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda. The Company will then comply with the necessary filing procedures in Hong Kong.

Reasons for the Proposed Name Change

The Board believes that the new English and Chinese names of the Company will provide the Group with a new corporate identity and will better reflect the Group’s future business direction. Therefore, the Board considers that the Proposed Name Change is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

Effects of Proposed Name Change

The Proposed Name Change will not, by itself, affect any of the rights of the Shareholders. Save for the change of stock short name to be announced by the Company, the trading arrangements for the Shares on the Stock Exchange will not be affected. All existing share certificates of the Company in issue bearing the Company’s existing name shall continue to be evidence of legal title to the Shares and valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes. Accordingly, there will not be any arrangement for free exchange of existing share certificates of the Company for new share certificates under the new name of the Company.

Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company regarding results of the SGM, the effective date of the Proposed Name Change and the change of the stock short name for trading of the Shares on the Stock Exchange.

Completion and return of the form of proxy shall not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the SGM or any adjournment thereof should you so desire.

5. LISTING RULES REQUIREMENT

According to the Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll. Therefore, the resolutions put to the vote at the SGM will be taken by way of poll. As no Shareholder has a material interest in the Refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit and the Proposed Name Change, no Shareholder will be required to abstain from voting on the relevant resolutions.

6. 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.

7. RECOMMENDATION

The Board considers that each of the Refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit and the Proposed Name Change is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole and therefore recommends the Shareholders to vote in favor of the relevant resolutions to be proposed at the SGM.
