To the Shareholders,
Dear Sir or Madam,
PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME AND NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING
1. INTRODUCTION
Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 17 February 2016 in relation to the Proposed Name Change.
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with the information relating to: (i) the Proposed Name Change; and (ii) the notice of SGM in respect of the above matter.
2. PROPOSED NAME CHANGE
The Board proposes to change the English name of the Company from “China Optoelectronics Holding Group Co., Limited” to “China Opto Holdings Limited” and to adopt a new Chinese name “中國新進控股有限公司” as the secondary name of the Company to replace “中國光電控股集團有限公司”.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
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 new 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
Despite the lapse of the major transaction as announced by the Company on 29 October 2015, the Company’s strategy has not changed. 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 vision and its macro commercial 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 the 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.
3. SGM
Notice of SGM is set out on page 5 of this circular and the SGM will be held at 7th Floor, China United Centre, 28 Marble Road, North Point, Hong Kong on Tuesday, 15 March 2016 at 10:00 a.m. in which a special resolution will be proposed to approve the Proposed Name Change.
A form of proxy for use at the SGM is enclosed herein. Whether or not you are able to attend the SGM, you are requested to complete and return the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and deposit the same at the office of the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Secretaries 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 appointed for the holding of the SGM or any adjournment thereof. 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.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
4. 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 resolution put to the vote at the SGM will be taken by way of poll.
To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Shareholders has direct or indirect material interest in the Proposed Name Change and accordingly, no Shareholders are required to abstain from voting on the special resolution to be proposed at the SGM.
5. 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.
6. RECOMMENDATION
The Board considers that 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 resolution to be proposed at the SGM.
Yours faithfully, By order of the Board of China Optoelectronics Holding Group Co., Limited Lam How Mun Peter Chairman
