INTRODUCTION
In order to save costs and protect the environment, Leoch International Technology Limited (the “Company”) is making the arrangements described below, in compliance with Rules 2.07A and 2.07B of the Listing Rules, to ascertain the Shareholders’ preferences as to the choice of means of receipt (in printed form or by electronic means) and language (in English only, in Chinese only or in both English and Chinese) of the Company’s future Corporate Communications.
PROPOSED ARRANGEMENTS
In accordance with Rules 2.07A and 2.07B of the Listing Rules, the following arrangements will be made by the Company:
1. The Company will send a letter on 11 April 2011 (the “First Letter”) together with a reply form (the“Reply Form”), prepared in English and Chinese, with a mailing label to the Shareholders to enable them to elect to receive the Company’s future Corporate Communications: (i) through the Company’s website at www.leoch.com and the HKExnews’ website at www.hkexnews.hk (“Websites”); or (ii) in printed form in English only; or (iii) in printed form in Chinese only; or (iv) in printed form in both English and Chinese.
The First Letter explains that if no reply is received from a Shareholder within 28 days from the date of the First Letter, such Shareholder will be deemed to have agreed to read the Corporate Communications published on the Websites in place of receiving printed copies, and a notification of the publication of future Corporate Communications on the Websites will be sent to him/her/it. Shareholders are entitled at any time to change their choice of means of receipt and language of the Corporate Communications by giving reasonable notice in writing (Address: 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre,183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong) or by email (Email address: leoch.ecom@computershare.com.hk) to the Hong Kong Share Registrar.
2. For those Shareholders who choose to receive the Corporate Communications in printed form, the Company will send the selected language version of the Corporate Communications to them unless and until they notify the Hong Kong Share Registrar in writing that they wish to receive the Corporate Communications in the other (or both) language(s), or by electronic means through the Websites.
3. When each printed Corporate Communication is sent out in accordance with the arrangements described in paragraphs 1 and 2 above, a letter (the “Second Letter”) and a change request form (the “Request Form”) will also be sent. Shareholders may change their choice of means of receipt and language of the Corporate Communications by completing the Request Form and returning it to the Hong Kong Share Registrar.
4. All Corporate Communications in both English and Chinese, and in accessible format, will be available on the Websites. Soft copies of both languages of all such Corporate Communications will be filed with the Stock Exchange on the same day they are dispatched to the Shareholders, or on such other day as required by the Stock Exchange or pursuant to the Listing Rules.
5. The Company is providing a dial-up hotline service (Tel: (852) 2862 8688) during business hours (9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays) to enable the Shareholders to make enquiry of the Company’s proposed arrangements set out above.
6. The First Letter and the Second Letter will mention that both languages of each Corporate Communication will be available on the Websites and that the dial-up hotline service has been provided as mentioned in the arrangements described in paragraphs 4 and 5 above, respectively.
