  1. A proposal (the “Consideration Proposal”) to approve the payment of US$60 million and the issuance of 26,832,731 shares of common stock of the Company (together, the “Consideration”) to Linkage Cayman, which Consideration will be distributed to Linkage Cayman’s existing shareholders as consideration for the Company’s purchase of 100% of the outstanding share capital of Linkage Technologies pursuant to that certain Business Combination Agreement by and among the Company, Linkage Cayman, certain shareholders of Linkage Cayman and Libin Sun as agent for the shareholders of Linkage Cayman dated December 4, 2009;

 

  2. A proposal (the “Name Change Proposal”) to approve the change of the name of the Company following the completion of the Combination to “AsiaInfo-Linkage, Inc.”; and

 

  3. A proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal”) to adjourn or postpone the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, including to solicit additional proxies in the event there are not sufficient votes in favor of adoption of the Consideration Proposal or the Name Change Proposal at the time of the special meeting.

The following is a summary of the results of the votes cast at the special meeting:
