CNFinance Holdings Schedules EGM for Proposed Name Change on November 29, 2024

CNFinance Holdings Sets Date for Significant Name Change Meeting

CNFinance Holdings Limited, a leading provider of home equity loans in China, announces an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) of Shareholders scheduled for November 29, 2024, at 10:00 AM Hong Kong Time. The primary purpose of the meeting is to deliberate on a proposed name change from "CNFinance Holdings Limited 泛華金融控股有限公司" to "CNFinance Holdings Limited 深泛联控股有限公司." While the rebranding aims to modernize the company's image, it is designed to have no adverse effects on shareholder rights, corporate operations, or the financial standing of the company.

The decision to consider a name change reflects CNFinance’s strategic focus on enhancing its brand recognition and aligning its identity more closely with its mission in the home equity loan market. As the company operates in an increasingly competitive landscape, a refreshed brand can help strengthen its market position and improve customer engagement. The EGM will be a crucial event for shareholders, allowing them to voice their opinions and vote on this significant transformation.

Shareholders eligible to attend the meeting must hold ordinary shares as of the record date of October 31, 2024. Those holding American depositary shares (ADSs) must navigate voting through JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., the depositary for the ADS program. CNFinance emphasizes transparency in its governance by providing access to the EGM notice and proxy form through a Current Report on Form 6-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as on its official website.

In addition to the name change proposal, CNFinance provides a safe harbor statement regarding forward-looking statements, indicating that such statements may carry inherent risks and uncertainties that could lead to actual results differing from expectations. This proactive communication underscores CNFinance's commitment to keeping its stakeholders informed about potential developments in the company's strategic direction.

With the upcoming EGM, CNFinance Holdings is poised to take a transformative step that reflects its ambitions in the home equity loan industry. By considering a name change, the company not only seeks to enhance its brand identity but also aims to solidify its commitment to operational integrity and shareholder engagement.
