To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

AND

NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

References are made to the Announcement in relation to the Proposed Change of Company Name.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with the information regarding the special resolution to be proposed at the EGM for the Proposed Change of Company Name and to give you the notice convening the EGM.

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Board proposes to change the English name of the Company from "Morris Holdings Limited" to "Morris Home Holdings Limited" and to adopt the Chinese name "ᅉ࢙࢕֢છٰϞ ࠢʮ̡" as the dual foreign name of the Company to replace the existing Chinese name "ᅉ࢙છ ٰϞࠢʮ̡".

CONDITIONS OF THE CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

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

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

  • (ii) the approval of the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands having been obtained for the use of proposed new English name and the adoption of the Proposed Change of Company Name.

Subject to the satisfaction of the above conditions, the proposed Change of Company Name will take effect from the date on which the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands enters the new English name 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 comply with the necessary filing procedures with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong.

REASONS FOR THE CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Board considers that the proposed Change of Company Name will better reflect the focus of Group's future business plan and development. The Board is of the opinion that the Change of Company Name will provide the Company with a more appropriate and distinctive corporate identity which will benefit the Company's future business development and is the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

EFFECTS ON THE CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The proposed Change of Company Name will not affect any of the rights of the Shareholders. All existing share certificates in issue bearing the Company's existing name shall continue to be valid evidence of the legal 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 free exchange of existing share certificates for new share certificates under the new name of the Company. Once the Change of Company Name becomes effective, the shares of the Company will be traded on the Stock Exchange under the new stock short name and any issuance of new share certificates will be under the new name of the Company.

THE EGM

The EGM Notice is set out on page EGM-1 to EGM-2 of this circular. A form of proxy for the EGM is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you intend to be present at the EGM, you are requested to complete the form of proxy and return it 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, in accordance with the instructions printed thereon not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for the EGM. The completion of a form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting at the EGM in person if you so wish.

The resolution set out in the EGM Notice will be taken by poll at the EGM. Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company in relation to the results of the EGM, the effective dates of the Proposed Change of Company Name, and the new stock short names of the Company under which the Shares will be traded on the Stock Exchange.

RECOMMENDATION

The Board believes that the Proposed Change of Company Name as set out in this circular is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and accordingly the Board recommends the Shareholders to vote in favour of the special resolution to be proposed at the EGM.

Yours faithfully

By order of the Board Morris Holdings Limited
