Charm Communications Inc.

Announces Completion of Merger

Beijing, China, September 24, 2014 — Charm Communications Inc. (NASDAQ: CHRM) (“Charm” or the “Company”), a leading advertising agency in China, announced today the completion of the merger contemplated by the previously announced agreement and plan of merger dated May 19, 2014 (as amended on May 23, 2014 and June 20, 2014, the “merger agreement”) among Engadin Parent Limited (“Parent”), Engadin Merger Limited (“Merger Sub”) and the Company. As a result of the merger, Charm became a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, which was approved by the Company’s shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting held on September 22, 2014, each of the Company’s ordinary shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger (“Shares”) has been canceled in exchange for the right to receive $2.35 in cash without interest, and each of the Company’s American depositary shares, each representing two Class A ordinary shares (“ADSs”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger has been canceled in exchange for the right to receive $4.70 (less applicable ADS cancellation fees) in cash without interest, other than the Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs): (i) beneficially owned by the Founder Shareholders (as defined in the Company’s proxy statement dated August 26, 2014), (ii) beneficially owned by the Company or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and (iii) owned by holders of such Shares who have validly exercised and have not effectively withdrawn or lost their appraisal rights pursuant to Section 238 of the Cayman Islands Companies Law, as amended.

Shareholders of record as of the effective time of the merger who are entitled to the merger consideration will receive a letter of transmittal and instructions on how to surrender their ordinary share certificates and ADSs in exchange for the merger consideration. Such shareholders should wait to receive the letter of transmittal before surrendering their ordinary share certificates. As soon as practicable after the date of this announcement, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as ADS depositary (the “ADS Depositary”), will call for the surrender of all ADSs for delivery of the merger consideration. Upon the surrender of such ADSs, the ADS Depositary will pay to the surrendering holders $4.70 per ADS surrendered (less an ADS cancellation fee of $0.05 per ADS) in cash, without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes.

The Company also announced today that it has requested that trading of its ADSs on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) be suspended as of the close of trading on September 24, 2014. The Company requested Nasdaq to file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to delist the Company’s ADSs and deregister the Company’s registered securities. The deregistration will become effective in ninety days after the filing of Form 25 or such shorter period as may be determined by the SEC. The Company intends to suspend its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by filing a Form 15 with the SEC in ten days. The Company’s obligations to file with the SEC certain reports and forms, including Form 20-F and Form 6-K, will be suspended immediately as of the filing date of the Form 15 and will terminate once the deregistration becomes effective.
