Hurray! is a leading online distributor of music and music-related products such as ringtones, ringbacktones and truetones to mobile users in China through the full range of wireless value-added services platforms over mobile networks and through the internet. Hurray! is also a leader in artist development, music production and offline distribution in China through its record labels Huayi Brothers Music, Freeland Music, New Run Entertainment and Secular Bird. In addition, the company provides a wide range of other wireless value-added services to mobile users in China, including games, pictures and animation, community and other media and entertainment services.

Enlight is one of the largest private entertainment program producers and publishers in China, producing four hours of daily entertainment news, music, fashion and reality shows. The programs are broadcast through more than 600 television channels in China, including one national digital pay-television channel. Enlight is also a leading event and concert organizer in China, organizing five annual entertainment award ceremonies covering the fields of music, television drama, fashion and modeling. As one of the largest movie and television drama companies in China, Enlight invested in and distributed five full length motion pictures and over 200 hours of television drama in 2007. It also maintains an entertainment video library with over 50,000 hours of content and a video website.

The combination of the two companies creates one of the largest domestically-based entertainment content and distribution companies in China, with a leading position in diversified areas, including entertainment content and music production, event organization, mobile gaming, artist agency, movie and television drama investment and distribution and wireless value-added services.

''This is a defining moment for Hurray!,'' said QD Wang, the Founder and CEO of Hurray! ''With our prior acquisitions of music and gaming companies, Hurray! has been transitioning from a pure SP company to an entertainment and media group, integrating content production and distribution. This merger with Enlight is definitely a key milestone in attaining that goal. I look forward to the new company's sustainable and rapid development within China's fast growing entertainment and media market''.

Changtian Wang, the Founder, Chief Executive Officer and President of Enlight, was also very excited about the merger. ''The combined company platform presents excellent potential for growth. I am confident that the company is well-positioned to become the most influential media and entertainment company in the Chinese-speaking community. We believe that China has room for a huge domestic media giant such as Time Warner or News Corp. in the US, and we intend to fill that position,'' he commented.

Under the agreement, which has been approved by both boards of directors, Enlight's shareholders will receive Hurray! common shares equivalent of 15.74 million American Depositary Shares, representing a 42% stake in Hurray! on a pro-forma basis, in exchange for all the outstanding shares of Enlight. As part of the transaction, additional shares will be issued to the original Enlight shareholders if, during the period between the 6th month and 24th month anniversaries of the completion of the combination, the three-month average share price of the combined company exceeds specific price targets. At a three-month average price of $5.00, $7.00, $8.00 and $8.50 per American Depositary Share (each of which represents 100 ordinary shares), the common share equivalent of 1.35 million, 9.45 million, 6 million and 6.2 million American Depositary Shares will be issued, respectively. If all price targets are met, Enlight shareholders could own up to 65% of the combined company.

The combination is expected to close in the first quarter of 2008. The transaction is currently expected to be accretive to earnings in the first twelve months after closing.

Changtian Wang will become CEO and Chairman of the company. Sean Wang, President and CFO of Hurray!, will be co-President and CFO, and Xiaoping Li, Vice President of Enlight, will be co-President. The Board of Directors will have seven members, three of whom are expected to qualify as independent directors under the applicable NASDAQ rules.

China Renaissance Partners served as financial advisor to the transaction, and China eCapital Corporation advised Hurray! in this transaction.
