To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME AND ADOPTION OF

CHINESE NAME FOR IDENTIFICATION PURPOSES ONLY, AMENDMENT TO THE BYE-LAWS, RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTOR AND NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this document is to provide you with requisite information regarding resolutions: (i) the approval of the Name Change and the amendment to the Bye-laws; and (ii) the re-election of the retiring Director to be proposed at the SGM.

PROPOSED NAME CHANGE

On 8 October 2013, the Company announced that the Board proposes to change the name of the Company from “Sun Innovation Holdings Limited” to “Digital Domain Holdings Limited” and adopt “數字王國集團有限公司” to replace “奧亮集團有限公司” as the Chinese name of the Company for identification purposes only.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

CONDITIONS FOR THE NAME CHANGE

The Name Change is subject to the following conditions:

  1. the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders to approve the Name Change at the SGM; and

  2. the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda approving the change of the Company’s name and issuing a certificate of incorporation on change of name in respect thereof.

The Name Change will take effect from the date of entry of the new English name of the Company on the register maintained by the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE BYE-LAWS

In view of the proposed Name Change, the Board also proposes to make an amendment to the Bye-laws in order to reflect the Name Change. Accordingly, the Board proposes to seek the approval of the Shareholders by way of special resolution for the amendment to the Bye-laws at the SGM.

The details of the proposed amendment to the Bye-laws are set out in the notice of the SGM of this circular.

The proposed amendment to the Bye-laws and adoption of a new set of Bye-laws are subject to the approval of the Shareholders by way of passing the requisite special resolution at the SGM.

REASONS FOR THE NAME CHANGE

With the completion of acquisition of 70% indirect ownership of Digital Domain 3.0, Inc. (further information of which are contained in the Company’s circular dated 14 June 2013), a prominent visual effects studio operator in the United States, the Group has expanded its principal business into the media entertainment sector. In order to align the Company’s corporate image and identity with the Group’s new business focus in the media entertainment sector, the Board proposes the Name Change. The Board believes that the Name Change will benefit the Company’s future business development and is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

THE EFFECTS OF THE NAME CHANGE

The Name Change will not, of itself, affect any of the rights of the Shareholders. All existing share certificates of the Company bearing the existing name of the Company will, after the Name Change has become effective, continue to be evidence of legal title to the shares of the Company and valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes. Any new share certificates of the Company issued after the Name Change has become effective will bear the Company’s new name. There will not be any arrangement for free exchange of existing share certificates of the Company for new share certificates bearing the Company’s new name.

To reflect the Name Change, the logo and the website of the Company will be changed accordingly upon the Name Change becoming effective. Subject to the confirmation of the Stock Exchange, the English and Chinese stock short names for trading in the shares of the Company will also be changed upon the Name Change becoming effective.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company to inform the Shareholders of the results of the SGM, the effective date of the Name Change, and the details in respect of the change of logo, website and stock short names of the Company.

RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTOR

Mr. Wong Ka Kong Adam (“Mr. Wong”) has been appointed as an independent non-executive Director with effect from 9 August 2013. In accordance with Bye-law 86(2) of the Bye-laws, Mr. Wong shall hold office until the SGM and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election at the SGM. Details of the Director who is proposed to be re-elected at the SGM are set out in Appendix I to this circular.

SGM

The SGM will be held at the Conference Room, Room 1818, 18th Floor, Sun Hung Kai Centre, 30 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong on Thursday, 28 November 2013 at 10:00 a.m. The notice of the SGM is set out on pages 6 to 7 of this circular.

A form of proxy for use at the SGM is enclosed. Whether or not you are able to attend the SGM, you are requested to complete the form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return it to the office of the branch share registrar of the Company in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the SGM or any adjournment thereof.

VOTING AT THE SGM

Pursuant to Bye-law 66 of the Bye-laws and Rule 13.39 of the Listing Rules, all votes of the Shareholders at the general meetings must be taken by poll save that the chairman of the meeting may, in good faith, allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the extent that the Company is aware having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder has to abstain from voting on any of the proposed resolutions.

RECOMMENDATION

In light of the foregoing, the Directors recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant resolutions to be proposed at the SGM to approve the Name Change and the amendment to the Bye-laws, and the re-election of the retiring Director.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of the Board
