Dear Sir or Madam,

  • (1) PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME;

  • (2) TERMINATION OF SHARE FINANCING PLAN;

(3) PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS;

(4) REMUNERATION OF THE DIRECTORS;

AND

(5) NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

References are made to the announcement of the Company dated 16 February 2021 in relation to the Proposed Change of Company Name and the announcement of the Company dated 22 February 2021 in relation to, among other things, the termination of the Share Financing Plan and the granting of authorisation to the Board to fix and vary the remuneration of the Directors.

The purposes of this circular are to provide you with (i) information in respect of the resolutions to be proposed at the SGM for the Proposed Change of Company Name, the termination of the Share Financing Plan, the proposed re-election of the Retiring Directors and the granting of authorisation to the Board to fix and vary the remuneration of the Directors from time to time; and (ii) a notice convening the SGM.

(1) PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Board proposes to change the English name of the Company from ''PYI Corporation Limited'' to ''Blue River Holdings Limited'' and adopt the Chinese name '''' as the secondary name of the Company.

Conditions of the Proposed Change of Company Name

The Proposed Change of Company Name will be subject to the following conditions having been satisfied:

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

  • (ii) the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda approving the Proposed Change of Company Name.

Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set out above, the Proposed Change of Company Name will take effect from the date of the registration of the new name of the Company in place of the existing name by the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda as set out in the certificate of incorporation on change of name to be issued by the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda in respect of the Proposed Change of Company Name. The Company will carry out all necessary filing procedures with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong pursuant to Part 16 of the Companies Ordinance (Chapter 622 of the Laws of Hong Kong) and the Stock Exchange upon the Proposed Change of Company Name becoming effective.

Reasons for the Proposed Change of Company Name

The Group is principally engaged in ports and infrastructure development and investment, and the operation of ports and logistics facilities, in the Yangtze River region of China. The Group is also engaged in land and property development and investment in association with ports and infrastructure development, as well as securities trading and investment, and provision of loan financing services.

The Board considers that:

  • (i) Paul Y. Engineering Group Limited (''PYE'') is a 48.23% owned associate of the Group and a 51.76% non-wholly owned subsidiary of South Shore Holdings Limited, which is a company listed on the Stock Exchange with stock code of 577. In accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, the results of PYE are accounted for as an associate of the Group and its financial statements are not consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Group. Therefore, the existing name of the Company (i.e. PYI Corporation Limited) could not represent the overall image of the Group and it is now more appropriate to cease sharing of such similar corporate identity; and

  • (ii) ''Blue River'' is a name easily spelt and memorable for the international population. The Company conducts its principal business, including ports and infrastructure development and investment, and the operation of ports and logistics facilities. The Proposed Change of Company Name will better delineate the corporate image from that of PYE and reflect the current status of the Group's business development.

The Board believes that the new name can provide the Company with a more appropriate corporate image and identity which will benefit its business development and is in the best interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

Effect of the Proposed Change of Company Name

The Proposed Change of Company Name will not affect any rights of the existing holders of securities of the Company. All the existing certificates of securities in issue bearing the present name of the Company will, after 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. Accordingly, there will not be any arrangement for exchange of the existing certificates of securities for new certificates bearing the new name of the Company. Once the Proposed Change of Company Name becomes effective, new certificates of securities will bear the new name of the Company. In addition, upon the Proposed Change of Company Name becoming effective, the English and Chinese stock short names for trading of Shares in the Stock Exchange will be changed subject to confirmation by the Stock Exchange.

(2) TERMINATION OF SHARE FINANCING PLAN

Under the Share Financing Plan adopted in 2006, selected eligible persons may be invited to apply for new Shares and offered the opportunity to finance their subscription by way of plan loans as stipulated in the Share Financing Plan.

As no such financing has been applied for since adoption of the Share Financing Plan in 2006, the Board proposed to terminate the Share Financing Plan.

(3) PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF THE RETIRING DIRECTORS

In accordance with bye-law 86(2) of the Bye-laws and code provision A.4.2 of the Corporate Governance Code of the Listing Rules, each of Mr. Tschirner, Mr. Au, Mr. Ma, Mr. Giles and Mr. Kwong whose appointments with details were set out in the Company's announcements dated 18 January 2021, 3 February 2021 and 9 February 2021 respectively, will retire at the SGM and, being eligible, offer himself for re-election at the SGM.

Biographical and other details of the Retiring Directors are set out in Appendix I to this circular.

Having considered the background of each of the Retiring Director, the Directors consider that the re-election of each of the respective Retiring Director is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

(4) REMUNERATION OF THE DIRECTORS

At the 2020 AGM, Shareholders approved the Directors' fees in an aggregate amount of not exceeding HK$4,000,000 per annum to be paid to all Directors and be divided amongst the Directors as the Board may agree. In order to provide more flexibility to the Board in terms of composition and diversity, it is in the interest of the Company to authorise the Board to fix and vary the remuneration of the Directors from time to time without imposing a cap.

Bye-law 96 of the Bye-laws provides that, among others, the ordinary remuneration of Directors shall from time to time be determined by the Company in general meeting. Accordingly, an ordinary resolution is proposed at the SGM for Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, to authorise the Board to fix and vary the remuneration of the Directors from time to time.

(5) SGM

The SGM will be convened by the Company at Regus Conference Centre, 35th Floor, Central Plaza, 18 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, 26 March 2021 for the Shareholders to consider, and if thought fit, to approve (i) the Proposed Change of Company Name; (ii) the termination of the Share Financing Plan; (iii) the proposed re-election of the Retiring Directors; and (iv) the granting of authorisation to the Board to fix and vary the remuneration of the Directors from time to time. Notice convening the SGM is set out on pages SGM-1 to SGM-4 of this circular.

To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Shareholders has any direct or indirect material interest in the Proposed Change of Company Name, the termination of the Share Financing Plan, the proposed re-election of the Retiring Directors and the granting of authorisation to the Board to fix and vary the remuneration of the Directors from time to time and accordingly, no Shareholders are required to abstain from voting on the resolutions to be proposed at the SGM.

A form of proxy for use by the Shareholders at the SGM is enclosed with this circular. If you are not able to attend at the SGM in person, you are requested to complete and return the enclosed 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 Secretaries Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong, as soon as possible but in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding of the SGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be). Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending or voting in person at the SGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be) should you so wish and, in such event, the instrument of proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.

The register of members of the Company will be closed from Tuesday, 23 March 2021 to Friday, 26 March 2021 (both days inclusive) for determining the entitlements to attend and vote at the SGM. No transfer of Shares will be registered during this period. In order to qualify for attending and voting at the SGM, all transfer documents (together with the relevant share certificates) must be lodged with the Company's branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Secretaries Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong for registration no later than 4:30 p.m., Monday, 22 March 2021.

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, voting at the SGM will be conducted by way of poll. The chairman of the SGM will therefore demand a poll on the resolutions put forward at the SGM pursuant to bye-law 66 of the Bye-laws. An announcement on the poll results of the SGM will be published on the websites of the Stock Exchange (www.hkexnews.hk) and the Company (www.pyicorp.com) after the SGM.

GENERAL

The Company will make further announcement(s) as and when appropriate on the arrangement relating to the trading and dealings in the securities of the Company on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange under the new name of the Company and as to when the change of name of the Company will become effective.

RECOMMENDATION

The Board considers that the Proposed Change of Company Name, the termination of the Share Financing Plan, the proposed re-election of the Retiring Directors and the granting of authorisation to the Board to fix and vary the remuneration of the Directors from time to time are in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Board recommends the Shareholders to vote in favour of the proposed resolutions to approve the Proposed Change of Company Name, the termination of the Share Financing Plan, the proposed re-election of the Retiring Directors and the granting of authorisation to the Board to fix and vary the remuneration of the Directors from time to time at the SGM.

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT
