CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate 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. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.
Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, 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.

To the Shareholders,
Dear Sir or Madam,
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 the information relating to the special resolution to be proposed at the EGM for the Change of Name and to give you the notice convening the EGM.
– 3 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
CHANGE OF NAME OF THE COMPANY
The Proposal
The Board proposes to change the English name of the Company from ‘‘Tsun Yip Holdings Limited’’ to ‘‘CNC Holdings Limited’’ and the Chinese name of the Company from ‘‘進業控股有限公 司’’ to ‘‘中國新華電視控股有限公司’’.
Conditions
The Change of Name is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:
-
the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders approving the Change of Name at the EGM; and
-
the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands approving the use of the proposed new English and Chinese names of the Company.
Subject to the approval of the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands, the Change of Name will take effect from the date on which the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands enters both new English and Chinese name(s) of the Company on the register of companies in place of the existing English and Chinese names of the Company. Thereafter, the Company will carry out all necessary filing procedures with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong.
Reasons for the Change of Name
The Board believes that the proposed new English and Chinese names of the Company will give the Shareholders, investors and the public a new corporate image and identity which can better reflect the diversification of the Group’s businesses into the Television Broadcasting Business following the completion of the acquisition of the Target Company. The Board further believes that by leveraging on the ‘‘CNC’’ and ‘‘新華’’ brand name of Xinhua News Agency, the Target Company could save brand development and marketing costs in promoting the Television Programmes to potential television broadcasting companies, advertising companies and advertising clients.
The Board believes that the Change of Name is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Effects on the Change of Name
The Change of Name will not affect any of the rights of the Shareholders. After the Change of Name becoming effective, all existing share certificates bearing the present name of the Company will continue to be evidence of title to the Shares and will continue to be valid for trading, settlement and registration purposes and the rights of the Shareholders will not be affected as a result of the Change of Name. Should the Change of Name become effective, any issue of new share certificates thereafter will be in the new name of the Company. There will not be any arrangement for free exchange of existing share certificates for new share certificates under the new name of the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Further announcement will be published by the Company regarding the results of the EGM, the effective date of the Change of Name and the change of its stock short name for trading of the Shares on the Stock Exchange.
EGM
The Change of Name is subject to, among other matters, the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders by way of poll at the EGM. Set out on page 6 of this circular is a notice of the EGM to be held at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, 16 January 2012 at Room 3, United Conference Centre Limited, 10/F, United Centre, 95 Queensway, Hong Kong at which a special resolution will be proposed to approve the Change of Name. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the special resolution to approve the Change of Name at the EGM.
A form of proxy for use at the EGM is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you are able to attend the EGM, you are requested to complete the enclosed form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and deposit the same with the Company’s branch registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited, at 26th Floor, Tesbury Centre, 28 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, as soon as practicable and in any event not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the EGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be). Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the EGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be) should you so wish and in such case, the form of proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.
RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT
This circular, for which the Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the GEM Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Group. 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.
