To the Shareholders

Dear Sir/Madam,

PROPOSED FURTHER CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding the resolution to be proposed at the Special General Meeting relating to the proposed further change of Company name.

PROPOSED FURTHER CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

Reference is made to the Announcement whereby the Board announced that it proposed to further change the name of the Company from “Wasion Group Limited (��������)” to “Wasion Group Holdings Limited (����������)”.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Reason for the proposed further change of company name

As mentioned in the Announcement, the Certificate of Change of Name in respect of “Wasion Group Limited (��������)” was issued by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands on 23 May 2008 and the name of the Company has been changed from “Wasion Meters Group Limited (����������)” to “Wasion Group Limited (��������)” with effect from 23 May 2008. Thereafter, the Company proceeded to carry out the necessary filing procedures with the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong, and the Certificate of Registration of Change of Corporate Name of Non-Hong Kong Company bearing the name “Wasion Group Limited (��������)” was issued by the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong on 16 June 2008. However, during the filing procedures in Hong Kong, it transpired that although there was no other company bearing the English name “Wasion Group Limited” being registered as a Hong Kong company or non-Hong Kong company in the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong, another company (which is unrelated to the Group) with the Chinese name “��������” has already been registered with the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong. In order to better promote the Company’s image and avoid confusions among investors relating to the Chinese name of the Company, the Board proposes to further change the name of the Company.

Conditions

Subject to the passing of special resolution to be proposed in the Special General Meeting, the proposed further change of Company name will take effect from the date on which the certificate on change of name is issued by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands.

Thereafter, the Company will further carry out the necessary filing procedures with the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong.

Share certificates

Upon the proposed further change of Company name becoming effective, all existing share certificates in issue bearing the name of “Wasion Meters Group Limited (����������)” or the name of “Wasion Group Limited (��������)” (as the case may be) will continue to be evidence of title to Shares of the Company and valid for trading, settlement and registration purposes and the rights of the Shareholders will not be affected as a result of the proposed further change of Company name. Should the proposed further change of Company name become effective, any issue of share certificates thereafter will be in the new Company name of “Wasion Group Holdings Limited (�� ��������)” and the securities of the Company will be traded on the Stock Exchange in the new name.

Further announcement will be made by the Company in relation to the effective date of the proposed further change of Company name and any arrangement for exchanging share certificates.
