(Incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability)

The board (the "Board") of directors (the "Directors") of Wing Hang Bank, Limited (the "Bank", together with its subsidiaries collectively as the "Group") proposes to change the English name of the Bank from "Wing Hang Bank, Limited" to "OCBC Wing Hang Bank
Limited", and the Chinese name of the Bank from " 永亨銀行有限公司" to "華僑永亨銀行有
限公司" (the "Change of Bank Name").

On 15 July 2014, OCBC Pearl Limited became a registered shareholder of the Bank and
Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited ("OCBC") became a majority shareholder of the Group accordingly.
As the Bank has become a subsidiary of OCBC, the Board considers that the Change of Bank Name will align the Bank's corporate identity with the parent Bank's branding and corporate identity.
The Board is of the opinion that the proposed Change of Bank Name will benefit the Bank's future business development and is in the interests of the Bank and its shareholders ("Shareholders") as a whole.

The proposed Change of Bank Name will be subject to the following:
1. the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders at a special general meeting to be convened by the Bank (the "SGM") to approve the proposed Change of Bank Name; and
2. the Registrar of Companies of Hong Kong approving the use of the proposed new English name and Chinese name by the Bank.
The Change of Bank Name shall take effect from the date on which the relevant Certificate on
Change of Name is issued by the Registrar of Companies of Hong Kong.

The proposed Change of Bank Name will not affect any rights of the Shareholders or the Bank's
daily business operation and/or its financial position.
After the proposed Change of Bank Name becomes effective, all existing share certificates in issue bearing the existing Bank name shall continue to be evidence of entitlement 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 exchange of the existing share certificates for new share certificates bearing the new Bank name.

A circular containing, among other matters, the proposed Change of Bank Name and a notice of
the SGM will be despatched to the Shareholders as soon as practicable.
The Bank will make further announcement(s) as and when appropriate on the voting result(s) relating to the special resolution of the proposed Change of Bank Name at the SGM and the effective date of the Change of Bank Name.
