EXHIBIT 99.1
GREAT WALL ACQUISITION CORP. ANNOUNCES CHANGE OF DATE FOR SPECIAL MEETING
NEW YORK, NEW YORK, December 4, 2006 — Great Wall Acquisition Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: GWAQ) announced today it will not hold its special meeting of stockholders on December 11, 2006 as previously announced. Great Wall has set December 12, 2006 as the new date for the special meeting. The purpose of the special meeting is for stockholders to consider and vote on its previously-announced proposed acquisition of ChinaCast Communication Holdings Limited. Stockholders of record as of November 16, the record date for the meeting, will be entitled to attend the special meeting and vote on the proposed acquisition and related proposals.
The reason for the change in the meeting date is the delay in the completion of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) review of the Company’s proxy and registration materials for the proposed transaction. The date for the special meeting is subject to change, pending completion of the SEC review. The meeting must be held no later than mid December in order to permit Great Wall and ChinaCast to comply with Singapore securities law requirements for the transaction. If Great Wall’s proxy and registration materials are not available for distribution to meet that timetable, the proposed acquisition will not be able to be completed. Great Wall currently believes that the timetable will be met. Proxy materials relating to the proposed acquisition will be sent to stockholders once finalized.
In connection with the proposed business combination, Great Wall has filed a registration statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-134098) with the SEC. Investors are urged to carefully read the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus contained therein and the definitive proxy statement/prospectus which is expected to be distributed to stockholders shortly, and any other relevant documents filed with the SEC, because they contain important information about Great Wall, ChinaCast and the proposed transaction, including detailed risk factors. The preliminary and definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other documents filed by Great Wall are available free of charge at the SEC’s website, http://www.sec.gov, or by directing a request to Great Wall Acquisition Corporation, 660 Madison Avenue, 15th Floor, New York, New York, 10021, Attention: Richard Xue. ChinaCast is a public company listed on the on the Main Board of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited. Copies of filings made by ChinaCast with the Singapore Exchange are available on its web site, http://www.sgx.com.sg.
Great Wall, ChinaCast and their respective directors and executive officers may be considered participants in the solicitation of proxies in connection with the proposed transaction. Information about the participants in the solicitation is set forth in the Great Wall’s Form S-4 registration statement.
Information contained in the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus included in the Great Wall’s Form S-4 registration statement is not complete and may be changed, and neither that document nor this is an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy

 


 

securities in any state or jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. Any solicitation of proxies will be made only by the proxy statement/prospectus that will be provided to Great Wall stockholders. Investors and security holders of Great Wall are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus because it contains important information about Great Wall, ChinaCast and the proposed ChinaCast acquisition.
