Perfect World Announces Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders
(Beijing China June 25, 2015) Perfect World Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ: PWRD) (Perfect World or the Company), a leading online game developer and operator based in China, today announced that it has called an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the EGM), to be held on July 28, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. (Hong Kong time), at the 42nd Floor, Edinburgh Tower, The Landmark, 15 Queens Road, Central, Hong Kong, to consider and vote on, among other things, the proposal to authorize and approve the previously announced agreement and plan of merger, dated April 26, 2015 (the Merger Agreement), among the Company, Perfect Peony Holding Company Limited (Parent), an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and beneficially owned by Mr. Michael Yufeng Chi, the Companys founder and chairman of the board of directors, and Perfect World Merger Company Limited (Merger Sub), a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, and the plan of merger required to be filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands, substantially in the form attached as Annex A to the Merger Agreement (the Plan of Merger) and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger (as defined below).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the Merger). If consummated, the Merger would result in the Company becoming a privately-held company and its American depositary shares (the ADSs) would no longer be listed on the NASDAQ Global Selected Market and the ADS program would be terminated. The Companys board of directors, acting upon the unanimous recommendation of a special committee of the Companys board of directors composed entirely of independent directors, recommends that the shareholders and ADS holders vote FOR, among other things, the proposal to approve the Merger Agreement, the Plan of Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger.
Shareholders of record at the close of business in the Cayman Islands on July 6, 2015 will be entitled to attend and vote at the EGM and any adjournment thereof. The record date for ADS holders entitled to instruct Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, the ADS depositary, to vote the shares represented by the ADSs is the close of business in New York City on June 25, 2015. Additional information regarding the EGM and the Merger Agreement can be found in the transaction statement on Schedule 13E-3 and the proxy statement attached as Exhibit (a)-(1) thereto, as amended, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), which can be obtained, along with other filings containing information about the Company, the proposed Merger and related matters, without charge, from the SECs website (www.sec.gov). Requests for additional copies of the definitive proxy statement should be directed to MacKenzie Partners, Inc., the Companys proxy solicitor, at +1 800-322-2885 (toll-free) or +1 212-929-5500. SHAREHOLDERS AND ADS HOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY THESE MATERIALS AND OTHER MATERIALS FILED WITH OR FURNISHED TO THE SEC WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE, AS THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY, THE PROPOSED MERGER AND RELATED MATTERS.
The Company and certain of its directors, executive officers and other members of management and employees may, under SEC rules, be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from our shareholders with respect to the proposed Merger. Information regarding the persons who may be considered participants in the solicitation of proxies is set forth in the definitive proxy statement and Schedule 13E-3 transaction statement relating to the proposed Merger. Further information regarding persons who may be deemed participants, including any direct or indirect interests they may have, is also set forth in the definitive proxy statement.
