The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information on the Proposed Change of Company Name and the notice of EGM.

2. PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

3. REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Group principally engages in (i) design, manufacture and trading of apparels; and (ii) provision of money lending business.

References are made to announcements of the Company dated 15 February 2017, 8 March 2017, 2 May 2017 and 1 June 2017, the circular of the Company dated 10 April 2017 and the composite offer and response document dated 9 May 2017. CEFC Shanghai Financial Services Co., Ltd, through New Seres CEFC Investment Fund LP, acquired an aggregate of 860,120,000 shares of the Company (representing approximately 50.89% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of completion of the subscription) and became the largest shareholder of the Company.

In view of the change in the largest shareholder of the Company and the possible business development of the Company as previously disclosed, the Board considers that the Proposed Change of Company Name may better reflect the Company’s corporate image and identity. Thus, the Board believes that the Proposed Change of Company Name is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

4. CONDITIONS OF THE PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Proposed Change of Company Name is subject to the following conditions:

  • (a) the Shareholders approving the Proposed Change of Company Name by way of a special resolution at the EGM; and

  • (b) the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands approving the Proposed Change of Company Name by issuing a certificate of incorporation on change of name.

Subject to the satisfaction of the above conditions, the Proposed Change of Company Name will take effect from the date of issue of the certificate of incorporation on change of name by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands.

The Company will then carry out the necessary filing procedures with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong.

In addition, subject to the confirmation of the Stock Exchange, the stock short name for trading in the Shares will also be changed after the Proposed Change of Company Name has become effective.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

5. EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Proposed Change of Company Name will not affect any of the rights of the Shareholders. All existing share certificates in issue bearing the Company’s existing name shall, after the Proposed Change of Company Name having become effective, continue to be evidence of the title of the securities of the Company and will continue to be valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes. There will not be any arrangements for free exchange of existing share certificates for new share certificates bearing the new name of the Company. Share certificates of the Company which are issued after the Proposed Change of Company Name having become effective will be in the new name of the Company.

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

6. EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

A notice of the EGM is set out on page 6 of this circular.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Listing Rules, all votes to be taken at the EGM will be by poll.

A form of proxy for the EGM is despatched to the Shareholders with this circular.
