LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Company and its subsidiaries with effect from 24 April 2017. Accordingly, the Board proposed to appoint RSM as auditors of the Company to fill the casual vacancy following the resignation of HLB and to hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company. Pursuant to article 173(B) of the Articles of Association of the Company, the EGM will be convened to approve, among other things, the appointment of auditors. Please refer to the Change of Auditors Announcement for reasons and further details of resignation of HLB.

As mentioned in the Change of Auditors Announcement, in the letter of resignation to the Company, HLB had confirmed that there was no matter in connection with their resignation that had to be brought to the attention of the Shareholders or creditors of the Company. The Board and the audit committee of the Company had confirmed that there was no matter in connection with the resignation of HLB that had to be brought to the attention of the Shareholders or creditors of the Company.

(b) CHANGE OF NAME OF THE COMPANY

The Board proposed to change the existing name of the Company from ‘‘Odella Leather Holdings Limited’’ to ‘‘Million Stars Holdings Limited’’ and to adopt ‘‘萬星控股有限公司’’ as the dual foreign name in Chinese of the Company to replace its existing dual foreign name in Chinese ‘‘ ’’ 愛特麗皮革控股有限公司 .

Conditions for the Change of Name

The Change of Name will be subject to the following conditions:

  • (a) the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM; and

  • (b) the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands approving the Change of Name.

Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set out above, the Change of Name will take effect upon the date of issuance of a certificate of incorporation on change of name by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands. Upon the Change of Name becoming effective, the Company will carry out the necessary filing procedures with the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong.

Reason for the Change of Name

The proposed Change of Name reflects new horizon of the Company after change in the controlling shareholder of the Company.

The Board considers that the Change of Name will better reflect the current business focus of the Group and its direction of future development. The Board believes that the new English and Chinese names of the Company will provide the Company with a more defined corporate image and identity which will benefit the Company’s further business development. Therefore, the Board considers that Change of Name is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Effect of the Change of Name

The Change of Name will not affect any rights of the Shareholders or holders of the convertible equity securities of the Company or the Company’s daily business operation and/or its financial position. All existing share certificates or instruments of convertible equity securities in issue bearing the present name of the Company, after the Change of Name becoming effective, will continue to be evidence of legal title to the Shares and convertible equity securities and will be valid for trading, settlement and registration purposes. Accordingly, there will not be any arrangement for free exchange of existing share certificates for new share certificates or free exchange of existing instruments of convertible equity securities for new instruments of convertible equity securities under the Company’s new name. After the Change of Name becomes effective, any issue of share certificates or instruments of convertible equity securities will be under the new name of the Company.

In addition, subject to the confirmation of the Stock Exchange, the English and Chinese stock short names of the Company for trading Shares on the Stock Exchange will also be changed after the Change of Name becomes effective.

(c) THE EGM

The EGM will be convened to be held at 10:30 a.m. on 31 May 2017 at Room 1804, 18/F, Tower 1, Admiralty Centre, 18 Harcourt Road, Admiralty, Hong Kong, the notice of which is set out on pages 7 to 9 of this circular, for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the (1) Change of Auditors; and (2) Change of Name.

In compliance with the GEM Listing Rules, the resolutions will be voted by way of a poll at the EGM. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholders are required to abstain from voting on the resolutions to be proposed 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 accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return it to the branch share registrar of the Company in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services 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 holding the EGM or any adjournment thereof.
