To the Shareholders
Dear Sir or Madam,
PROPOSED MERGER OF TIANJIE INSTALLATION ENGINEERING WITH THE COMPANY, PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION AND
NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
I. INTRODUCTION
Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 2 August 2016 in which the Board resolved to propose (1) the merger of Tianjie Installation Engineering with the Company; (2) the change of scope of operations of the Company; and (3) the amendments to the Articles of Association as a result of the foregoing resolution as well as on other relevant matters in pursuance of the Company’s ongoing operational needs, and submitted the same proposals to the EGM for consideration and approval.
According to the applicable laws and regulations of the PRC as well as the Articles of Association (of which the details are set out below), all foregoing proposals are to be approved by the Shareholders by way of special resolutions and, where applicable, by the relevant PRC and/or overseas regulatory authorities.
– 3 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with the information regarding, among other things, (i) detailed information regarding the proposed resolutions (1) to (3) above; and (ii) a notice convening the EGM to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the proposed resolutions at the EGM.
II. PROPOSED MERGER OF TIANJIE INSTALLATION ENGINEERING WITH THE COMPANY
The Board resolved to propose a special resolution at the EGM for consideration and approval by the Shareholders that Tianjie Installation Engineering, as the Company’s whollyowned subsidiary for the time being, be fully merged with the Company, in light of the following circumstances:
-
(i) Tianjie Installation Engineering is with tier-2 qualification on professional contracting of environmental projects as well as tier-3 qualification on professional contracting of steel structure projects, whilst the Company is not.
-
(ii) For the purpose of bidding for projects relating to large-set environmental equipments, build-operate-transfer projects, public-private partnership projects etc., clients normally require the bidders to be with design, production and installation qualifications in one go, or else bidders will be disqualified or even not be allowed to participate in the bidding process at all. For this reason, we have been rejected on certain occasions in the past.
-
(iii) With the limitation on our qualifications and accordingly the scope of services to be rendered, we have experienced enhanced enterprise tax as well as value-added tax obligations under the applicable laws, regulations and administrative policies.
Accordingly, with a view to improving on the chance of bidding success and reducing our tax burden, the Board proposed the TIE Merger which took place on 31 July 2016. Upon completion of the proposed TIE Merger, the Company shall continue to operate under its current name and with the same amount of registered capital. Tianjie Installation Engineering shall, however, be deregistered. As soon as both the Company and Tianjie Installation Engineering have completed the requisite registrations and other procedural formalities with respect to the proposed TIE Merger, all assets and liabilities (and the rights and obligations associated therewith) formerly owned by Tianjie Installation Engineering will be unconditionally taken up by the Company.
The Board also proposed that authorisation be granted to the management team of the Company to handle all matters in relation to the Merger such as, among others, the execution of the relevant agreements, the transfer of assets, the application to the administrative authorities for approval, and the business and tax registrations.
The TIE Merger involves an intra-Group merger between the Company and its whollyowned subsidiary and accordingly does not constitute any type of transactions which require Shareholders’ approval under the Listing Rules. Nonetheless, according to Article 37, 99 and
– 4 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
103 of the PRC Company Law and Article 62 and 87 of the Articles of Association, the TIE Merger is required for consideration and approval by the Shareholders at a general meeting by way of special resolution.
The subject resolution will become effective upon approval by the Shareholders at the EGM, approval by the commerce authorities in the PRC as well as completion of the requisite business registration procedures.
III. PROPOSED CHANGE OF SCOPE OF OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY
Pursuant to the proposed TIE Merger, the Board resolved to propose a special resolution at the EGM for consideration and approval by the Shareholders that, by way of amendments to the relevant provisions under the Articles of Association, the scope of operations of the Company be revised to cover ‘‘research and development, design, manufacture, installation and sales of environmental pollution control equipments, electric control equipments and steel structures; sales and installation of pressure vessels; import and export of environmental protection equipments and new energy equipments; import and export of technology (the launch of such operating activities shall be subject to the prior approval of the relevant authorities in case where approval is required under the laws)’’.
Pursuant to Article 37, 99 and 103 of the PRC Company Law and Article 62 and 87 of the Articles of Association, any proposed change of the scope of operations of the Company by way of amendments to the Articles Association is required for consideration and approval by the Shareholders at a general meeting under special resolution. Accordingly, a circular has to be issued by the Company and despatched to the Shareholders pursuant to Rule 13.51(1) of the Listing Rules. As confirmed by our PRC Legal Advisors, the foregoing proposed amendments to the Articles of Association conform with the requirements of the Listing Rules as well as the PRC Company Law and other applicable laws and regulations of the PRC. We also confirm that there is nothing unusual about such proposed amendments for a company listed in Hong Kong.
The subject resolution will become effective upon approval by the Shareholders at the EGM, approval by the commerce authorities in the PRC as well as completion of the requisite business registration procedures.
IV. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION
In light of the foregoing resolutions as well as on other relevant matters in pursuance of the Company’s ongoing operational needs, the Board resolved to propose a special resolution at the EGM on amendments to the Articles of Association. Such amendments shall be made in accordance with the applicable laws, rules and regulations.
Please refer to Appendix I to this circular for further details. The Articles of Association are prepared in Chinese without an official English version. Any English translation is for reference only. In case of any inconsistency between the Chinese version and English version, the Chinese version shall prevail.
