To the Shareholders

Dear Sir/Madam,

(1) PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME AND

(2) PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION OF THE COMPANY AND ADOPTION OF FURTHER AMENDED MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES

1. INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 24 October 2022 in respect of (i) the Change of Company Name; and (ii) the Proposed Amendments and adoption of the Further Amended Memorandum and Articles (the “ Announcement ”). The purpose of this circular is to provide you with details regarding the proposed resolutions so as to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the proposed resolutions at the EGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

As stated in the Announcement, the Board proposed to change the English name of the Company from “ZONBONG LANDSCAPE Environmental Limited” to “ZONQING Environmental Limited” and the dual foreign name in Chinese of the Company from “中邦園林環境股份有限公司” to “中慶環境股份 有限公司”, subject to the conditions set out below being fulfilled. The English and Chinese stock short names of the Company will also be changed accordingly.

2.1. Conditions for the Change of Company Name

The Change of Company Name is conditional upon the following conditions having been satisfied:

  • (1) the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM to approve the Change of Company Name; and

  • (2) the Registrar approving the Change of Company Name by issuing a certificate of incorporation of change of name.

Subject to the satisfaction of the above conditions, the Change of Company Name will take effect from the date on which the Registrar enters the new English name and the new dual foreign name in Chinese of the Company in the Register of Companies in the Cayman Islands in place of the existing names, and issues a certificate of incorporation on change of name. The Company will also carry out all necessary filing procedures in Hong Kong upon the Change of Company Name becoming effective.

2.2. Reasons for the Change of Company Name

The Board considers that the Change of Company Name will enhance the corporate brand and image of the Company which will benefit the Company’s future business and development. Therefore, the Board considers that the Change of Company Name is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

2.3. Effects of the Change of Company Name

The Change of Company Name will not affect any rights of the holders of securities of the Company.

The certificates of securities in issue bearing the present name of the Company will, after the Change of Company Name becoming effective, continue to be evidence of title to such securities, and continue to be valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes. There will not be any arrangement for exchange of the existing certificates of securities for new certificates of securities bearing the new name of the Company. Once the Change of Company Name becomes effective, new certificates of securities will be issued in the new name of the Company.

4

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In addition, subject to the confirmation from the Stock Exchange, the English and Chinese stock short names of the Company for trading of its securities on the Stock Exchange will be changed after the Change of Company Name becoming effective. The Company also intends to adopt a new company logo and change its company website afterwards.

3. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION AND ADOPTION OF FURTHER AMENDED MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES

As set out in the Announcement, the Board proposed to seek approval from the Shareholders at the EGM for the Proposed Amendments and the adoption of the Further Amended Memorandum and Articles primarily to (i) reflect the Change of Company Name, and (ii) reflect and conform to Appendix 3 to the Listing Rules regarding the core shareholder protection standards, which became effective on 1 January 2022.

Particulars of the Proposed Amendments, which will be effected by the adoption of the Further Amended Memorandum and Articles in substitution for, and to the exclusion of, the existing Memorandum and Articles of Association. Details of the Proposed Amendments are set out in Appendix I to this circular. The proposed adoption of the Further Amended Memorandum and Articles is subject to the approval of the Shareholders by way of a special resolution at the EGM and the passing of the special resolution approving the Change of Company Name by the Shareholders at the EGM. If the Change of Company Name as well as the Proposed Amendments and the adoption of the Further Amended Memorandum and Articles are approved, the Further Amended Memorandum and Articles will take effect from the date on which the Registrar enters the new English name and the new dual foreign name in Chinese of the Company in the Register of Companies in the Cayman Islands in place of the existing names, and issues a certificate of incorporation on change of name.

The legal advisers to the Company as to Hong Kong law have confirmed that the Further Amended Memorandum and Articles conform with the requirements of the Listing Rules and the legal advisers to the Company as to Cayman Islands law have confirmed that the Proposed Amendments conform with Appendix 3 to the Listing Rules and the laws of the Cayman Islands. In addition, the Company confirms that there is nothing unusual about the Proposed Amendments for a company listed in Hong Kong.

The Shareholders are advised that the Further Amended Memorandum and Articles are drafted in English and there is no official Chinese translation of them. The Chinese translation of the Further Amended Memorandum and Articles is provided for reference only. In the event of any inconsistency between the English version and the Chinese version, the English version shall prevail.
