The Company initially had a strategic focus on opportunities in the Chinese education sector. However, the Company's international strategy has been constrained by the measures imposed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, the Company now intends to provide premier education services and products in the UK and Europe. The Board believes that the proposed name better reflects the Company's new strategic focus.
Please be advised that any member entitled to attend and vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting shall be entitled to appoint another person as proxy to attend and vote on their behalf.
