Impact Assessment

Market Impact: Minimal to none. This is an administrative change that does not alter the company’s business operations, financial position, or shareholder rights.

Operational Impact: The company will need to update all statutory documents, letterheads, signage, and corporate communications to reflect the new name while maintaining dual display for two years.

Stakeholder Impact: No impact on rights and liabilities of shareholders, creditors, or other stakeholders. The change in name from a manufacturing-focused identity (Hoists) to an investment-focused identity (Investments) may indicate a strategic business pivot, though this is not explicitly stated in the certificate.

Legal Impact: The certificate confirms that despite the name change, all existing legal obligations, contracts, and commitments remain valid and binding on the company.

Impact Justification

Administrative name change notification with minimal market impact; primarily affects corporate identity and branding rather than operations or financial position
