SHANGHAI, July 6, 2015—Shanda Games Limited (NASDAQ: GAME, “Shanda Games” or the “Company”) has been informed that certain changes have taken place with respect to the beneficial ownership of certain members of the consortium that has agreed to acquire the Company in a “going private” transaction.

As previously announced on April 3, 2015, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) with Capitalhold Limited (“Parent”) and Capitalcorp Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). Subject to satisfaction of the Agreement’s terms and conditions, (i) Parent will acquire the Company for cash consideration equal to US$3.55 per ordinary share of the Company (each, an “Ordinary Share”) and US$7.10 per American Depositary Share of the Company, each representing two Class A Ordinary Shares (each, an “ADS”), in a transaction valuing the Company at approximately US$1.9 billion; and (ii) the acquisition will be effected through a merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). Immediately following consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, Parent will be beneficially owned by a consortium including, among other parties, (i) Orient Hongtai (Hong Kong) Limited, a company incorporated and existing under the laws of Hong Kong (“Orient Hongtai”), (ii) Orient Hongzhi (Hong Kong) Limited (“Orient Hongzhi”), a company incorporated and existing under the laws of Hong Kong and an affiliate of Orient Hongtai, and (iii) Hao Ding International Limited (“Hao Ding”), a business company established under the laws of the British Virgin Islands.

In addition, concurrently with the execution of the Agreement, certain shareholders of the Company (the “Rollover Shareholders”), including, among other parties, Orient Hongtai, Orient Hongzhi and Hao Ding, entered into a support agreement (the “Support Agreement”) with Parent. Under the Support Agreement, the Rollover Shareholders agreed, among other things, that (i) each of the Rollover Shareholders will vote the Ordinary Shares held by them (the “Rollover Shares”) in favor of the authorization and approval of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, and (ii) the Rollover Shareholders will, upon the terms and subject to the conditions in the Support Agreement, receive no consideration for the cancellation of the Rollover Shares in accordance with the Agreement.
