To the Shareholders
Dear Sir/Madam,
(1) PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME AND (2) NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING
INTRODUCTION
Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 4 May 2017 in respect of the Proposed Name Change.
— 3 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with details regarding the Proposed Name Change as well as to give you notice of the SGM, which is set out on pages 7 to 9 of this circular.
PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
The Board has proposed that the English name of the Company be changed from “Culture Landmark Investment Limited” to “China Tangshang Holdings Limited” and the Chinese name of the Company from “ 文化地標投資有限公司 ” to “ 中國唐商控股有限公司 ”.
Reasons for the Proposed Name Change
The Board believes that the Proposed Name Change will provide the Company with a new corporate image and to better reflect the relationship between the Company and its new controlling shareholder. The Board considers that the Proposed Name Change is in the best interests of the Company and the shareholders of the Company as a whole.
Conditions
The Proposed Name Change will be subject to the following conditions:
-
(i) the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders at the SGM to approve the Proposed Name Change; and
-
(ii) the approval for the Proposed Name Change having been granted by the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda.
Subject to satisfaction of these conditions, the Proposed Name Change will take effect from the date on which the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda enters the Company’s new English name and Chinese name on the register maintained by the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda in place of the existing English name and Chinese name.
Upon the Proposed Name Change becoming effective, the Company will carry out the necessary filing procedures with the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong and the Shares will be traded on the Stock Exchange under the new name.
— 4 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Effect of the Proposed Name Change
The Proposed Name Change will not affect any rights of the Shareholders. The existing Share certificates in issue bearing the present name of the Company will, after the Proposed Name Change becoming effective, continue to be evidence of legal title and the existing Share certificates 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 for new certificates bearing the new name of the Company.
Upon the Proposed Name Change becoming effective and from then on, new certificates in respect of the Shares will be issued under the new name of the Company and, subject to the confirmation by the Stock Exchange, the English and Chinese stock short names of the Company will also be changed. Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company regarding the effective date of the Proposed Name Change, the change of the stock short name for trading of the Shares on the Stock Exchange and the change in the business logo of the Company.
SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING
A notice convening the SGM is set out on pages 7 to 9 of this circular for the purpose of considering, and if thought fit, passing the resolutions set out therein.
A special resolution will be proposed to the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the Proposed Name Change. As no Shareholder has any material interest in the Proposed Name Change, accordingly all Shareholders will be entitled to vote on the special resolution approving the Proposed Name Change.
You will find an enclosed form of proxy for use at the SGM. Whether or not you are able to attend the SGM, you are requested to complete and return the enclosed form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon to the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Secretaries Limited at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong as soon as possible but in any event not less than forty-eight (48) hours before the time appointed for holding the SGM. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the SGM should you so wish.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
VOTING BY WAY OF POLL
According to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll except where the chairman, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. Therefore, all the resolutions put to the vote at the SGM will be taken by way of poll and the Company will announce the results of the poll in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.
RECOMMENDATION
The Directors are of the view that the Proposed Name Change is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and the Board recommends the Shareholders to vote in favour of the special resolution to be proposed at the SGM.
RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT
This circular, for which the Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. 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.
