PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME, REFRESHMENT OF THE SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT AND NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding resolutions to be proposed at the SGM in relation to (i) the proposed Change of Company Name; and (ii) the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit.

– 3 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

As announced by the Company on 11 September 2014, the Board proposed to change the name of the Company from “China Gamma Group Limited” to “REX Global Entertainment Holdings Limited” and to adopt the Chinese name “御濠娛樂控股有限公司” as the new secondary name of the Company in place of the existing secondary name of the Company “中國伽瑪集團有限 公司”. The stock short name of the Company will also be changed accordingly.

Conditions of the Change of Company Name

The proposed Change of Company Name is subject to (i) the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders at the SGM; and (ii) the approval of the proposed new English name and the proposed new secondary name by the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda.

Reasons for the Change of Company Name

The Directors are of the opinion that the proposed new name of the Company provides a better identification for the Group which is in line with the Group’s expansion in the leisure, hospitality, tourism, entertainment and gaming related businesses and to reflect the future business development of the Company more appropriately.

Effect of the Change of Company Name

Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set out above, the proposed Change of Company Name will become effective on the date on which the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda enters the new English name and the new secondary name on the register in place of the existing English name and the existing secondary name. Thereafter, the Company will carry out all necessary filing procedures with Companies Registry in Hong Kong.

The Change of Company Name will not affect any of the rights of the existing Shareholders. All existing share certificates of the Company in issue bearing the existing name of the Company shall, after the Change of Company Name, continue to be evidence of title and valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery for the same number of Shares in the new name of the Company. There will not be any arrangements for exchange of existing share certificates for new share certificates under the new name of the Company. Upon the Change of Company Name becoming effective, issue of share certificates of the Company thereafter will be in the new name and the Shares will be traded on the Stock Exchange in the new stock short name.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company to inform the effective date of the Change of Company Name and the arrangement for the trading and dealings in the Shares (including the date on which the Shares will be traded under the new stock short name on the Stock Exchange).

REFRESHMENT OF THE SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT

The Company adopted the Share Option Scheme on 22 August 2011. Apart from the Share Option Scheme, the Company has no other share option scheme in effect as at the Latest Practicable Date. The Scheme Mandate Limit was set at 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of approval and adoption of the Share Option Scheme in compliance with the Listing Rules. Subject to prior Shareholders’ approval, the Company may, at any time thereafter, refresh the Scheme Mandate Limit to the extent not exceeding 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of the said Shareholders’ approval.

The existing Scheme Mandate Limit is 379,868,149 Shares, being 10% of the Shares issued as at the date of refreshment thereof at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 3 September 2013, and approximately 5.70% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Options carrying the rights to subscribe for 231,000,000 Shares were granted under the existing Scheme Mandate Limit under the Share Option Scheme, representing approximately 6.08% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of refreshment of the existing Scheme Mandate Limit on 3 September 2013, and approximately 3.47% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. Out of the Options granted, Options in respect of 65,500,000 Shares have been exercised and no Options have been lapsed or cancelled under the Share Option Scheme as at the Latest Practicable Date. Accordingly the Company had 165,500,000 outstanding Options as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Save as disclosed hereof, none of the grantees of the Options is a director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of the Company, nor an associate (as defined in the Listing Rules) of any of them.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

It is proposed that subject to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of Options granted under the refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit and the passing of the relevant resolution at the SGM, the Scheme Mandate Limit be refreshed so that the total number of Shares, which may be issued upon exercise of all Options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme under the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed, shall not exceed 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of approval of the relevant resolution by the Shareholders at the SGM. Options previously granted under the Share Option Scheme (including without limitation those outstanding, cancelled, lapsed or exercised in accordance with the Share Option Scheme) will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had 6,662,022,235 Shares in issue. Pursuant to the terms of the Share Option Scheme and in compliance with the Listing Rules, the maximum number of Shares, which may be issued upon the exercise of all the Options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme under the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed should be 666,202,223 Shares (assuming no further issue or repurchase of Shares prior to the SGM).

Pursuant to the Listing Rules, the Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding Options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and any other option scheme(s) of the Company (or its subsidiaries) at any time shall not exceed 30% of the Shares in issue from time to time. No options shall be granted under the Share Option Scheme or any other scheme(s) of the Company (or its subsidiaries) if this will result in the 30% limit being exceeded.

Reasons for the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit

With reference to the Rights Issue Prospectus and as disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 10 September 2014, the Company has completed the Rights Issue on the basis of one Rights Share for every two existing Shares held on the Record Date by the qualifying Shareholders as defined in the Rights Issue Prospectus. Immediately after completion of the Rights Issue, the issued share capital of the Company has been substantially increased to 6,596,522,235 Shares, as compared to 4,397,681,490 Shares in issue immediately before completion the Rights Issue. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 148,868,149 Shares available to be granted under the existing Scheme Mandate Limit, representing only approximately 2.23% of the total number of Shares in issue. In view of the substantial increase in the issued share capital of the Company, the Directors consider that it is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to refresh the Scheme Mandate Limit in order to provide the Company with greater flexibility in granting share options to the eligible participants (including employees and directors) of the Company under the Share Option Scheme as incentives to rewarding their contribution or potential contribution to the Company.

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of Shareholders in relation to the resolutions to be proposed at the SGM will be taken by poll. Further announcement on the results of the poll vote will be made by the Company after the SGM.

To the best of Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder has any material interest in the resolutions to be proposed at the SGM and therefore, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting at the SGM.
