LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Board proposes to change the English name of the Company from “Shougang Concord Grand (Group) Limited” to “Capital Industrial Financial Services Group Limited” and to adopt the Chinese name “首都產業金融服務集團有限公司” as the secondary name of the Company.

Conditions for the Proposed Change of Company Name

The Proposed Change of Company Name is conditional upon the following conditions having been satisfied:

  • (i) the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders approving the Proposed Change of Company Name at the SGM; and

  • (ii) the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda granting approval for the Proposed Change of Company Name.

Subject to the 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 Bermuda registers the new English name in place of the existing English name of the Company and registers the new Chinese secondary name of the Company as set out in the certificate of incorporation on change of name and the certificate of secondary name to be issued by the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda respectively. The Company will then carry out all necessary filing and/or registration procedures with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong pursuant to Part 16 of the Companies Ordinance (Chapter 622 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

Reasons for the Proposed Change of Company Name

The Board is of the view that the Proposed Change of Company Name will better reflect the Group’s future strategic positioning and business development. The Board believes that the new name can bring a new atmosphere to the Company’s corporate image and identity, be conducive the Group’s current and future business expansion and brand building, and benefit the future development of the Group. Accordingly, the Board considers that the Proposed Change of Company Name is in the best 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 affect any rights of the Shareholders or the daily operations of the Company or its financial position. All the existing share certificates of the Company in issue bearing the existing name of the Company will, upon the Proposed Change of Company Name becoming effective, continue to be effective and as documents of title to the Shares and will continue to be valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes. Accordingly, there will not be any arrangement for free exchange of the existing share certificates of the Company for new share certificates bearing the new name of the Company. Upon the Proposed Change of Company Name becoming effective, all new share certificates of the Company will be issued only in the new name of the Company.
