Ltd" to "Joy Spreader Group Inc." and the dual foreign name of the Company from "ᆀԮʝਗϞࠢʮ̡" to "ᆀԮණ ྠϞࠢʮ̡" (the "Proposed Change of Company Name").

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

Reasons for the Proposed Change of Company Name

The Company name of "Joy Spreader Interactive" dates back to 2008 when the Company was first established. At that time, the Company was mainly engaged in the marketing of interactive entertainment products (such as games) as such the Company name was in line with our key business features. With the continuous expansion of business, the Company's current principal businesses have been expanded to beyond the interactive entertainment products (such as e-commerce products), and keep on expanding. Therefore, a more applicable name is needed to fully represent the Company's current principal business features and reserve flexibility for further business expansion in the future. Subject to the relevant laws and regulations in all applicable jurisdictions where we operate our business, the Group's different businesses can be operated by different operating subsidiaries or consolidated affiliated entities in the future.

Effects of the Proposed Change of Company Name

The proposed change of the Company's name will not affect any rights of the holders of securities of the Company or the daily business operations and/or financial position of the Company.

All existing certificates of securities in issue bearing the present name of the Company will, upon the Proposed Change of Company Name becoming effective, continue to be evidence of title to such securities and the existing share certificates will continue to be valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes.

There will not be any arrangement for free exchange of the existing share certificates of securities in issue bearing the present name for new share certificates under the new name of the Company. Upon the Proposed Change of Company Name becoming effective, subject to the confirmation of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange"), the Shares will be traded with the new English and Chinese stock short names. The share certificates to be issued thereafter will be in the new name of the Company.

PROPOSED SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

In view of the Proposed Change of Company Name, the Board also proposes to adopt the second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the "Amendments"), and the Proposed Change of Company Name becoming effective by replacing all references to "Joy Spreader Interactive Technology.
