This information circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”) of Pansoft Company Limited (“Pansoft” or the “Company”), of proxies in the accompanying form to be used at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held through web conference at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/pansoft10 on Wednesday, June 30th, 2010 at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, and at any adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting (the “Annual Meeting”).  The Annual Meeting will be conducted via teleconference and web conference and no physical meeting will be held.
 
Certain information contained in this information circular has been incorporated by reference from the transition report on Form 20-F filed by the Company on March 25, 2010 for the transition period of January 1, 2009 to June 30, 2009 (the “Transition Report”).  The Transition Report was filed by the Company in connection with its change of fiscal year end from December 31 to June 30.  This information circular and the Transition Report are also available at http://www.pansoft.com/
 
This information circular and the accompanying form of proxy are being mailed to stockholders on or about June 1, 2010.
 
VOTING PROCEDURES
 
The shares represented by proxy received in response to this solicitation and not revoked will be voted at the Annual Meeting. If you hold your shares in your own name as a holder of record, you may instruct the proxy holders how to vote your shares by signing, dating and mailing the proxy card in the postage paid envelope that we have provided. In the event no directions are specified, the shares will be voted FOR the election of the nominee directors listed in this information circular and FOR approval of proposal 2.
 
You may revoke or change your proxy vote at any time before it is actually voted at the Annual Meeting by sending a written notice of revocation or submitting another proxy with a later date to the Secretary of the Company. You may also revoke your proxy by attending and voting in person at the Annual Meeting, but your attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, constitute a revocation of your proxy. If your shares are registered in the name of a bank or other brokerage firm, you will receive instructions from them that you must follow in order to have your shares voted.
 
Who Can Vote
 
Stockholders of record at the close of business on May 14th, 2010 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of May 30th, 2010, the Company had 5,438,232 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”) outstanding and entitled to vote. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share held as of the record date.
 
General Information on Voting
 
Holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock must be present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting in order to have a quorum. Shares that are marked “withheld” or “abstain” are treated as being present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting. If you hold your Common Stock through a bank, broker or other nominee, the broker may be prevented from voting shares held in your account on certain proposals that are considered “non-routine” proposals (a “broker non-vote”) unless you have given voting instructions to your bank, broker or nominee.  All of the proposals presented at the annual meeting are “routine” matters.  Shares that are subject to a broker non-vote are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists.
 
Directors are elected by a plurality vote. Accordingly, the director nominees who receive the most votes cast in his or her favor will be elected. Votes that are withheld from a nominee will be excluded entirely from the election of the Class I directors and will have no effect on the outcome. A broker non-vote has no effect in the outcome of the election of the directors, as directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast. Proposal 2 will be approved by the majority of votes cast at the annual meeting.
 

 

 
Stockholders whose shares are registered in their own names may vote by mailing a completed proxy card, via the Internet or by telephone.  Instructions for voting via the Internet or by telephone are set forth on the enclosed proxy card. To vote by mailing a proxy card, sign and return the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed prepaid and addressed envelope and your shares will be voted at the Annual Meeting in the manner you direct. In the event no directions are specified, such proxies will be voted FOR each nominee of the Board of Directors (Proposal No. 1) and FOR ratification of the appointment of AGCA as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s year ended December 31, 2009 (Proposal No. 2) and in the discretion of the proxy holders as to any other matters that may properly come before the Annual Meeting.
 
 The Company will bear the expense of printing and mailing proxy materials. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, solicitation may be made by the Company’s directors, officers or other employees by telephone, facsimile or other means.
 
No additional compensation will be paid to such persons for such solicitation. The Company will reimburse brokerage firms and others for their reasonable expenses in forwarding solicitation materials to beneficial owners of the Company’s Common Stock.
 
Management of the Company is not aware of any matters other than those described in this information circular that may be presented for action at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters properly come before the meeting, persons appointed by the enclosed form of proxy will have discretionary authority to vote such proxies as they decide.

FOR the election of the Class II nominees to the Board of Directors (Proposal 1);
 
 
FOR ratification of AGCA as our registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2010 – 2011 (Proposal 2).
 
IMPORTANT
 
WHETHER OR NOT YOU INTEND TO BE PRESENT AT THE ANNUAL MEETING, WE URGE YOU TO MARK, DATE AND SIGN THE ENCLOSED PROXY CARD AND RETURN IT AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE IN THE ENCLOSED POSTAGE-PREPAID RETURN ENVELOPE. THIS WILL NOT LIMIT YOUR RIGHTS TO ATTEND OR VOTE AT THE ANNUAL MEETING.
 
PROPOSAL 1
 
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
 
The Company’s articles of association provides for a classified Board of Directors consisting of three classes having staggered terms of three years each. The Board of Directors currently consists of one Class I director, two Class II directors, and two Class III directors. The Class I director has a term expiring at the 2012 annual meeting of stockholders, the Class II directors have a term expiring at the 2010 annual meeting and the Class III directors have a term expiring at the 2011 annual meeting of stockholders.
 
The terms of the Company’s two Class II directors, Mr. Tony Luh and Mr. Samuel Shen, will end in 2010.  The Nomination Committee of the Board of Directors recommended, and the Board of Directors approved, Mr. Tony Luh and Mr. Samuel Shen as the nominees for reelection at the Annual Meeting to Class II of the Board of Directors.  If reelected, Mr. Tony Luh and Mr. Samuel Shen will serve for a term of three years expiring at the 2013 annual meeting of stockholders or until his successor shall have been elected and qualified.  Mr. Tony Luh and Mr. Samuel Shen have each consented to be named as the nominee and agreed to serve if reelected. If, however, Mr. Tony Luh and Mr. Samuel Shen are unable to serve, proxies will be voted for such persons as the Board of Directors may recommend.
 
Shares represented by proxy cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named. The other directors of the Company will continue in office for their existing terms.
 

 

 
 
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the election of the following nominees to the Board of Directors:
 
NOMINEES TO SERVE AS CLASS II DIRECTOR SERVING A TERM EXPIRING AT THE 2013 ANNUAL MEETING

Tony C. Luh. Mr. Luh is one of the founding managing directors at DFJ DragonFund.  He possesses experience in investments at all stages of development in the East Asia region.  Born in Japan, raised in Thailand, and possessing profound knowledge of the Chinese language and culture, Tony spent his professional career in both Asia and the US.  Tony has over 20 years of experience in capital markets, sales, strategic alliances and new business development.  Prior to DFJ DragonFund, Tony was a managing director with DragonVenture which he co-founded in 1999.  Before DragonVenture, Tony was a senior executive at InfoWave Communications, an early-stage, first-generation Chinese Internet company.  At the time, Infowave was one of the pioneers in the internet portal business.  His position at Infowave brought Tony in close contact with Yahoo! and EBay, communicating closely with both companies on strategic direction in the international markets.  In many ways, Tony influenced the early developments of Internet in Taiwan and China. In the mid- to late-1980s in Taiwan as the corporate fund manager for Kosheng Enterprises, Tony accumulated public investment expertise in sectors ranging from information technology to high volume manufacturing in Asia.  In 1999 Tony and his partner Bobby Chao co-founded DragonVenture, an investment advisory and seed fund management firm specializing in Greater China regions.  Tony later became the seed investor and advisor of OSA Technologies and InphoMatch (a.k.a. Mobile365).  Both companies were very successful with OSA acquired by Avocent (Nasdaq: AVCT) and Mobile365 acquired by Sybase (NYSE: SY). With his partner Bobby, Tony also advised on eFriendsNet – one of the first social networking companies in China later acquired by French SNS Giant Meetic. Tony attended three different high schools in three different countries.  Tony also attended three different universities in three different states (Washington, Texas and California) in the US.

Samuel Shen. Mr. Shen is General Manager of Strategic Partnership Group (SPG) for Microsoft Asia Pacific R&D and is a member of the company’s Greater China Region senior leadership team. In this role, Mr. Shen oversees the engineering ecosystem efforts for Microsoft in the region and is responsible for Microsoft’s long-term technology partnership strategy for Asia Pacific. Shen also directs the company’s software outsourcing business to China, along with a number of technology and business incubations. Shen has spent much of his career in the high-tech fields. He joined Microsoft in 1993, led an engineering team to release Windows NT v3.5 Chinese version. In his Microsoft tenure, Shen held many senior positions in both business and technical routes. Before his current role, Shen was Senior Director of the Microsoft Windows Server System Global Engineering Group in Redmond. From 2002 to 2004, Mr. Shen was the Business and Marketing Officer for Microsoft Taiwan Corporation. Mr. Shen earned a master’s degree in computer science from University of California, Santa Barbara and he currently serves on the board for several companies.

Board of Directors

Our board of directors currently consists of five directors. There are no family relationships between any of our executive officers and directors.

The directors are divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as the total number of directors permits. Class I directors shall face re-election at our annual general meeting of shareholders in 2012 and every three years thereafter. Class II directors shall face re-election at our annual general meeting of shareholders in 2010 and every three years thereafter. Class III directors shall face re-election at our annual general meeting of shareholders in 2011 and every three years thereafter.

If the number of directors changes, any increase or decrease will be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as equally as possible. Any additional directors of a class elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in such class will hold office for a term that coincides with the remaining term of that class. Decreases in the number of directors will not shorten the term of any incumbent director. These board provisions could make it more difficult for third parties to gain control of our company by making it difficult to replace members of the Board of Directors.

A director may vote in respect of any contract or transaction in which he is interested, provided, however that the nature of the interest of any director in any such contract or transaction shall be disclosed by him at or prior to its consideration and any vote on that matter. A general notice or disclosure to the directors or otherwise contained in the minutes of a meeting or a written resolution of the directors or any committee thereof of the nature of a director’s interest shall be sufficient disclosure and after such general notice it shall not be necessary to give special notice relating to any particular transaction. A director may be counted for a quorum upon a motion in respect of any contract or arrangement which he shall make with our company, or in which he is so interested and may vote on such motion.
 

 

 
There are no membership qualifications for directors. Further, there are no share ownership qualifications for directors unless so fixed by us in a general meeting.

There are no other arrangements or understandings pursuant to which our directors are selected or nominated.

Duties of Directors

Under British Virgin Islands law, our directors have a duty to act honestly and in good faith with a view to our best interests. Our directors when exercising powers or performing duties as a director also have a duty to exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonable director would exercise in the same circumstances taking into account, but without limitation, the nature of the company, the nature of the decision and the nature of the responsibilities undertaken by him. In fulfilling their duty of care to us, our directors must ensure compliance with our memorandum and articles of association and the Company Law. A shareholder has the right to seek damages if a duty owed by our directors is breached.

Director Compensation

Cash Retainer Fees.

In general, our non-employee directors receive annual retainer fees of RMB 34,200 (in equivalent to $5000) paid semiannually, as well as RMB 1,000 for each Board or Board committee meeting attended.  During the transition period of January 1, 2009 to June 30, 2009, each of our non-employee directors received a retainer fee of RMB 17,100 (in equivalent to $2500) as well as RMB 1,000 for each Board or Board committee meeting attended.  During the transition period, non-employee directors received an aggregate of RMB 3000 as Board or Board committee meeting fees.  Non-employee directors were also entitled to reimbursement for their actual travel expenses for each Board meeting attended.  Employee directors do not receive additional compensation for their service as directors.

Equity Awards.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF DIRECTORS

The following table sets forth information with respect to beneficial ownership of our common shares as of April 30, 2010 by our directors.  The number and percentage of common shares beneficially owned are based on 5,518,099 (2) common shares outstanding as of April 30, 2010. Information with respect to beneficial ownership has been furnished by each director. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally requires that such person have voting or investment power with respect to securities. In computing the number of common shares beneficially owned by a person listed below and the percentage ownership of such person, common shares underlying options, warrants or convertible securities held by each such person that are exercisable or convertible within 60 days of April 30, 2010 are deemed outstanding, but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other person.
