To the Shareholders

Dear Sir/Madam,

Registered office:

(1) PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

AND

(2) NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

1. INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide the Shareholders with information in respect of the proposed change of name of the Company and to give you the notice of Extraordinary General Meeting.

2. PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Board of the Company proposes to change the English name of the Company from "Huabang Financial Holdings Limited" to "Huabang Technology Holdings Limited" and adopt the Chinese name "華 邦科技控股有限公司" as its new dual foreign name to replace its existing Chinese name "華邦金融控股有 限公司".

Conditions of the Change of Company Name

The Change of Company Name is subject to satisfaction of the following conditions:

  • (i) the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders approving the Change of Company Name at the EGM; and

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

Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set out above, the Change of Company Name will take effect from the date on which the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands enters the new English and dual foreign name in Chinese of the Company on the register of companies maintained by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands and issues a certificate of incorporation on change of name. The Company will then carry out the necessary registration and/or filing procedures with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands and the Companies Registry in Hong Kong.

Reasons for the Change of Company Name

The Group is principally engaged in computer and peripheral products business and financial services business. The Board evaluates from time to time the business strategies of the Group. It is not only dedicated to developing the Group's existing core businesses but is also dynamic in value creation through diversification and expansion into new business areas which can enhance shareholders' value.

Looking ahead, the Group will continue to adhere to its principle of steady development, and positively cope with any challenges and capture suitable opportunities. The Group will continue to dedicate to exploiting new business opportunities in other sectors from time to time. While the Group continues to develop the relatively stable existing business, the Group will look into further expansion to the fast-growing technology related businesses. The proposed Change of Company Name will better reflect the Group's future strategic direction.

The Board considers that the Change of Company Name will better reflect the business strategy and future business development of the Company, as well as providing the Company with a new corporate image. As such, the Board believes that the Change of Company Name is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Effect of the Change of Company Name

The Change of Company Name will not affect any rights of the Shareholders or the Company's daily operations or its financial position. Once the Change of Company Name has become effective, any new share certificates of the Company issued thereafter will bear the new name of the Company.

All the existing share certificates in issue bearing the present name of the Company will, after the Change of Company Name having become effective, continue to be effective and valid evidence of legal title to the Shares and 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 of the Company for new share certificates bearing the new name of the Company.

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

3. EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING AND PROXY ARRANGEMENT

The notice of Extraordinary General Meeting is set out on pages 7 to 8 of this circular.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, as no Shareholders had a material interest in the Change of

Company Name, no Shareholders will be required to abstain from voting on the resolution to approve the Change of Company Name.

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules and the Articles of Association, any vote of Shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll save that 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. An announcement on the poll results will be published by the Company after the EGM in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

A form of proxy for use at the EGM is enclosed with this circular. If you intend to appoint a proxy to attend the EGM, you are requested to complete the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the Company's branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited at Level 54, 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. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not prevent you from attending and voting at the EGM or any adjourned meeting if you so wish.

Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company as and when appropriate to inform the Shareholders of, among other things, the poll results of the EGM, the effective date of the Change of Company Name and the new English and Chinese stock short names of the Company for trading of the Shares on the Stock Exchange.

4. 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.
