Exhibit 99.1

Jiayuan.com International Ltd. Enters Into Definitive Merger Agreement

BEIJING, December 7, 2015 —Jiayuan.com International Ltd. (NASDAQ: DATE) (“Jiayuan” or the “Company”), operator of the largest online dating platform in China, today announced that it has entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with LoveWorld Inc. (“Parent”) and FutureWorld Inc. (“Merger Subsidiary”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.  Parent and Merger Subsidiary are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Baihe Network Co., Ltd. (“Baihe”), a joint-stock company listed on the National Equities Exchange and Quotations of the PRC.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Parent will acquire the Company for cash consideration equal to US$5.04 per ordinary share of the Company (each, a “Share”) and US$7.56 per American depositary share of the Company (“ADS”), each two ADSs representing three Shares. This price represents an approximately 62.9% premium over the closing price of the ADSs as quoted by NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) on March 2, 2015, the last trading day immediately prior to the Company’s announcement on March 3, 2015 that it had received a “going private” proposal from Vast Profit Holdings Limited, one of the Company’s shareholders, and an approximately 58.7% premium over the volume-weighted average trading price of the ADSs during the 30 trading days prior to, and including, March 2, 2015.

The consideration to be paid to holders of Shares and ADSs pursuant to the Merger Agreement also represents an increase of approximately 40.8% from the original US$3.58 per Share and US$5.37 per ADS offer price included in the March 3, 2015 “going private” proposal.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Subsidiary will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company (the “Surviving Company”) and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”), and each of the Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (including Shares represented by ADSs) will be cancelled in consideration for the right to receive US$5.04 per Share or US$7.56 per ADS, in each case, in cash, without interest, except for Shares owned by holders who have validly exercised and not effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to dissent from the Merger pursuant to Section 238 of the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands, which Shares will be cancelled at the effective time of the Merger for the right to receive the fair value of such Shares determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 238 of the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands.

In connection with the entry into the Merger Agreement, Baihe has deposited a cash amount equal to RMB 150,000,000 with the Company, which would be utilized to fund a portion of the merger consideration.  Baihe intends to fund the remainder of the merger consideration through a private placement of its shares, or a bank loan as an alternative.  Baihe has also entered into a guarantee in favor of the Company pursuant to which it has agreed to guarantee the obligations of Parent and Merger Subsidiary under the Merger Agreement.

The Company’s Board of Directors, acting upon the unanimous recommendation of the special committee of independent directors formed by the Board of Directors (the “Special Committee”), unanimously approved the Merger Agreement, the plan of merger required to be filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands in connection with the Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Transactions”), including the Merger, and resolved to recommend that the Company’s shareholders vote to approve the Agreement and the Transactions, including the Merger.  The Special Committee, which is composed entirely of independent directors who are unaffiliated with Parent, Merger Subsidiary, Baihe or the management of the Company, exclusively negotiated the terms of the Agreement with Parent, Merger Subsidiary and Baihe with the assistance of its independent financial and legal advisors.

The Merger, which is currently expected to close no later than the first quarter of 2016, is subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval by an affirmative vote of shareholders holding two-thirds or more of the votes represented by the Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs) present and voting in person or by proxy as a single class at the extraordinary general meeting, which will be convened to consider the approval of the Agreement and the Transactions, including the Merger.  If completed, the Transactions will result in the Company becoming a privately-held company and its ADSs will no longer be listed on NASDAQ.

After the Merger is completed, Mr. Linguang Wu, director and chief executive officer of the Company, will serve as co-chairman and co-chief executive officer of the Surviving Company, and Baihe will initiate its name changing process.

Barclays Bank PLC is serving as financial advisor to the Special Committee.  Davis Polk & Wardwell is serving as U.S. legal advisor to the Special Committee and Walkers is serving as Cayman Islands legal advisor to the Special Committee.  Shearman & Sterling is serving as legal advisor to Barclays Bank PLC.

Paul Hastings LLP is serving as U.S. legal advisor to the Company and Zhong Lun Law Firm is serving as PRC legal advisor to the Company.

Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP is serving as U.S. legal advisor to Baihe, De Heng Law Offices is serving as PRC legal advisor to Baihe, Conyers Dill & Pearman is serving as Cayman Islands legal advisor to Baihe, and Haitong Security and Shiner Capital are serving as financial advisors to Baihe.

immediately available funds which when added to the Substituted Parent Deposit shall be sufficient for the Exchange Agent to make payments under Sections 2.02(a), 2.04 and 2.05 (such aggregate cash amount being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”, and in case of payments under Section 2.04, an amount equal to the number of Dissenting Shares multiplied by the Per Share Merger Consideration).  For the avoidance of doubt, if any shareholder who has taken any step to exercise its dissenter’s rights pursuant to Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Law (e.g., the giving of a written objection pursuant to Section 238(2) of the Cayman Companies Law) subsequently loses its dissenter’s rights pursuant to the Cayman Companies Law (whether due to its failure to comply with any procedural requirements of Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Law or otherwise) with respect to any Shares, (i) such Shares shall not be subject to Section 2.04 and (ii) Parent shall make available or cause to be made available to the Exchange Agent additional funds in an amount equal to the product of (x) the number of Shares for which such Shareholder has lost its dissenter’s rights pursuant to the Cayman Companies Law and (y) the Per Share Merger Consideration.

(b)                       The Exchange Agent shall invest the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent; provided, that such investments shall be in (i) short-term direct obligations of the United States of America, (ii) short-term obligations for which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged to provide for the payment of principal and interest, or (iii) short-term commercial paper rated the highest quality by either Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation.  Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall become a part of the Exchange Fund, and any amounts in excess of the aggregate amounts payable under Sections 2.02(a), 2.04 and 2.05 shall be returned to the Surviving Company or Parent (as directed by Parent) in accordance with Section 2.03(f).  To the extent that there are any losses with respect to any such investments, or the Exchange Fund diminishes for any reason below the level required for the Exchange Agent to make prompt cash payment under Sections 2.02(a), 2.04 and 2.05, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Company to, promptly replace or restore the cash in the Exchange Fund so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient for the Exchange Agent to make such payments under Sections 2.02(a), 2.04 and 2.05.

(c)                        Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within (x) five (5) Business Days in the case of record holders and (y) three (3) Business Days in the case of the Depositary on behalf of beneficial holders holding through brokers, nominees, custodians or through a third party), the Surviving Company shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail (or in the case of the Depositary, deliver), to each Person who was, at the Effective Time, a registered holder of Shares entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.02(a): (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form for a Cayman Islands incorporated company specifying the manner in which the delivery of the Exchange Fund to registered holders of such Shares shall be effected, such letter of transmittal to be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company (upon

11

recommendation of the Special Committee) may reasonably agree; and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of any issued share certificates representing such Shares (the “Certificates”) (or affidavits and indemnities of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.03(d)) and/or such other documents as may be required in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration.  Upon surrender of, if applicable, any Certificate (or affidavit and indemnity of loss in lieu of the Share Certificate as provided in Section 2.03(d)) and/or such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions to the Exchange Agent in accordance with the terms of such letter of transmittal, duly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, each registered holder of Shares represented by such Certificate and each registered holder of non-certificated Shares represented by book entry (“Uncertificated Shares”) shall be entitled to receive in exchange for the cancellation of such Shares a check, in the amount equal to (x) the number of Shares represented by such Certificate (or affidavit and indemnity of loss in lieu of the Share Certificate as provided in Section 2.03(d)) or the number of Uncertificated Shares multiplied by (y) the Per Share Merger Consideration, and any Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be marked as cancelled.  Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company (upon recommendation of the Special Committee) shall establish procedures with the Exchange Agent and the Depositary to ensure that (i) the Exchange Agent will transmit to the Depositary promptly following the Effective Time an amount in cash in immediately available funds in respect of the cancellation of the Shares registered in the name of the Depositary, which amount shall be equal to the product of (x) the number of ADSs issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and (y) the Per ADS Merger Consideration and (ii) the Depositary will distribute the Per ADS Merger Consideration to ADS holders pro rata to their holdings of ADSs upon surrender by them of the ADSs.  Pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, the ADS holders will pay any applicable fees, charges and expense of the Depositary and government charges (other than withholding Taxes if any) due to or incurred by the Depositary in connection with the cancellation of the ADSs surrendered and distribution of the Per ADS Merger Consideration to the ADS holders.  No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable in respect of the Shares or ADSs.  In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the register of members of the Company, a check for any cash to be exchanged upon due surrender of the Certificate may be issued to such transferee if the Certificates (if any) which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented such Shares are presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents reasonably required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable share transfer taxes have been paid or are not applicable.

(d)                       If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Company, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Company may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue, in exchange for such

12

lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Per Share Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Shares represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article 2.

(e)                        The Per Share Merger Consideration paid in respect of the cancellation of Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs), whether represented by Certificates or Uncertificated Shares, in accordance with the terms of this Article 2 shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Shares (whether represented by Certificates or Uncertificated Shares), and at the Effective Time, the register of members of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers on the register of members of the Surviving Company of Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.  From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares, except as otherwise provided for herein or by Applicable Law.  If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate is presented to the Surviving Company, Parent or the Exchange Agent for transfer or any other reason, such Certificate shall be cancelled and exchanged for the cash amount in immediately available funds to which the holder of the Certificate is entitled pursuant to this Article 2.

(f)                         Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments of the Exchange Fund) that remains unclaimed by the shareholders of the Company for six (6) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Company upon demand by the Surviving Company.  Any holders of Shares and ADSs who has not theretofore complied with this Article 2 shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Company for payment of the cash amount to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Article 2 without interest thereon.

Section 2.04.  Dissenting Shares.  Notwithstanding Section 2.02(a) and to the extent available under the Cayman Companies Law, Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by holders who have validly given a written objection with respect to the Merger pursuant to Section 238(2) of the Cayman Companies Law and not lost their dissenter’s rights pursuant to the Cayman Companies Law (whether due to its failure to comply with any procedural requirements of Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Law or otherwise) (the “Dissenting Shareholders”, and such Shares, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall be cancelled at the Effective Time and not be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, and the Dissenting Shareholders shall instead be entitled to receive only the payment resulting from the procedure in Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Law with respect to their Shares; provided, however, that all Shares held by former Dissenting Shareholders who shall have effectively lost their dissenter’s rights under the Cayman Companies Law shall cease to be Dissenting Shares and shall be deemed to have been cancelled and converted into, and to have become exchanged for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration,

13

without interest thereon, in the manner provided in Section 2.03(c).  The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any notice of objection, notice of dissent or demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such notices or demands and any other instruments served pursuant to Applicable Law that are received by the Company relating to its shareholders’ dissenter’s rights, and (ii) the opportunity to direct and/or approve all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such notice or demand under the Cayman Companies Law.  The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to such notice or demand, offer to settle or settle any such notice or demand or approve any withdrawal of any such notice or demand.  In the event that any written notices of objection to the Merger are served by any shareholders of the Company pursuant to section 238(2) of the Cayman Companies Law, the Company shall serve written notice of the authorization of the Merger on such shareholders pursuant to section 238(4) of the Cayman Companies Law within twenty (20) days of obtaining the Shareholder Approval at the Company Shareholder Meeting.

Section 2.05.  Share Options and Company RS.  (a) At or immediately prior to the Effective Time, (A) the Company shall terminate the Company Incentive Plan, (B) each outstanding Company RS granted under the Company Incentive Plan, whether or not vested, shall be cancelled and cease to exist, and the Surviving Company shall pay each former holder of such Company RS as promptly as practicable, but no later than the next regularly scheduled employee payroll date in the jurisdiction of such holder, after the Effective Time for each such Company RS an amount in cash equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration, and (C) each outstanding and unexercised option to purchase Shares (each, a “Share Option”, together with the Company RSs, the “Company Equity Awards”) granted under the Company Incentive Plan, whether or not exercisable or vested, shall be canceled, and the Surviving Company shall pay each former holder of such Share Options, as promptly as practicable, but no later than the next regularly scheduled employee payroll date in the jurisdiction of such holder, after the Effective Time for each such Share Option an amount in cash determined by multiplying (i) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Merger Consideration over the applicable exercise price of such Share Option by (ii) the number of Shares such holder could have purchased (assuming full vesting of all options) had such holder exercised such Share Option in full immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that if the exercise price of such Share Option is equal to or greater than the Per Share Merger Consideration, the former holder of such Share Option shall not be entitled to any payment with respect thereto.  Each former holder of Share Options and Company RSs shall be personally responsible for the proper reporting and payment of all Taxes related to any distribution contemplated by this Section 2.05.

(b)                       Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall (i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consents from holders of Share Options and Company RS granted under the Company Incentive Plan and (ii) make any amendments to the terms of the Company Incentive Plan that are

14

necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.05.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.05, payment may be withheld in respect of any Share Option or Company RS until such necessary consents are obtained.

Section 2.06.  Adjustments.  If, during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company shall occur solely by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, share split or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any share dividend thereon with a record date during such period, but excluding any change that results from any exercise of options outstanding as of the date hereof to purchase Shares or the vesting of any restricted shares granted under the Company’s share option, incentive or compensation plans or arrangements, the Per Share Merger Consideration, Per ADS Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted.

Section 2.07.  Untraceable and Dissenting Shareholders. Remittances for the Per Share Merger Consideration or the Per ADS Merger Consideration shall not be sent to holders of Shares or ADSs who are untraceable unless and until, except as provided below, they notify the Exchange Agent or the Depositary, as applicable, of their current contact details prior to the Effective Time. A holder of Shares or ADSs will be deemed to be untraceable if such holder (i) has no registered address in the register of members (or branch register) maintained by the Company or the Depositary, as applicable; or (ii) on the last two consecutive occasions on which a dividend has been paid by the Company a check payable to such holder either (A) has been sent to such holder and has been returned undelivered or has not been cashed; or (B) has not been sent to such holder because on an earlier occasion a check for a dividend so payable has been returned undelivered, and in any such case, no valid claim in respect thereof has been communicated in writing to the Company or the Depositary; or (iii) notice of the Company Shareholder Meeting convened to vote on the Merger has been sent to such holder and has been returned undelivered. Monies due to Dissenting Shareholders and holders of Shares and ADSs who are untraceable shall be returned to the Surviving Company on demand and held in a non-interest bearing bank account for the benefit of Dissenting Shareholders and holders of Shares and ADSs who are untraceable. Monies unclaimed after a period of seven years from the date of the notice of the Company Shareholder Meeting shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Surviving Company.  Dissenting Shareholders and holders of Shares or ADSs who are untraceable who subsequently wish to receive any monies otherwise payable in respect of the Merger within applicable time limits or limitation periods will be advised to contact the Surviving Company.

Section 2.08.  Withholding Rights.  Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, each of the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Company, Parent and the Depositary shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Article 2 such

15

amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of Applicable Law.  In the event that Parent, Merger Subsidiary or the Company determines that any deduction or withholding is required to be made from any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement, Parent, Merger Subsidiary or the Company, as applicable, shall inform the Special Committee and the other parties to this Agreement of such determination and provide them with a reasonably detailed explanation of such determination and the parties to this Agreement shall consult with each other in good faith regarding such determination.  If the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Company or Parent, as the case may be, so withholds amounts, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Shares in respect of which the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Company or Parent, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.  Parent and Merger Subsidiary have determined that no deduction or withholding is required under any provision of Applicable Law with respect to the payment of the Per ADS Merger Consideration or the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to this Article 2.

Section 2.09.  Termination of Deposit Agreement.  As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall provide notice to Citibank, N.A. (the “Depositary”) to terminate the deposit agreement, dated May 16, 2011, among the Company, the Depositary, and the other parties thereto (the “Deposit Agreement”), in accordance with its terms.

Section 2.10.  Fair Value.  Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company respectively agree that the Per Share Merger Consideration and the Per ADS Merger Consideration represent the fair value of the Shares and the ADSs for the purposes of Section 238(8) of the Cayman Companies Law.

in each case referred to in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) only if the Board of Directors of the Company determines (upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action could be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law.

In addition, nothing contained herein shall prevent the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company or the Special Committee from (i) complying with its disclosure obligations under U.S. federal or state or non-U.S. Law, including (A) disclosure of factual information regarding the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company, (B) taking and disclosing to its shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to shareholders in connection with the making or amendment of a tender offer or exchange offer); provided that any such disclosure (other than a “stop, look and listen” communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act or a statement that the Board of Directors of the Company or the Special Committee has received and is currently evaluating such Acquisition Proposal) that does not include an express rejection of any applicable Acquisition Proposal or an express reaffirmation of its recommendation in favor of the Transactions shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change or (ii) issuing a “stop, look and listen” disclosure or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the 1934 Act.

(c)                        Required Notices.

(i)                                     The Board of Directors of the Company shall not take any of the actions referred to in Section 6.03(b) unless the Company shall have delivered to Parent a prior written notice advising Parent that it intends to take such action.  In addition, the Company shall notify Parent promptly (but in no event later than 48 hours) after receipt by the Company (or any of its Representatives) of any Acquisition Proposal, including of the material terms and conditions thereof, and shall use its reasonable best

42

efforts to keep Parent informed as to the status (including changes to the material terms) of such Acquisition Proposal.  The Company shall also notify Parent promptly (but in no event later than 48 hours) after receipt by the Company of any request for non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or for access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by any Third Party that may be considering making, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal.

(ii)                                  Without prejudice to Section 6.03(c)(i), prior to effecting any Adverse Recommendation Change or terminating this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal pursuant to Section 6.03(b), (1) the Company shall have provided prior written notice (the “Change or Termination Notice”) to Parent that the Board of Directors of the Company has resolved to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change or to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01(d), describing in reasonable detail the reasons for such Adverse Recommendation Change or termination (which notice shall specify, if related to an Acquisition Proposal, the identity of the party making the Acquisition Proposal and the material terms thereof and copies of all relevant documents (other than redacted terms of financing documents) relating to such Acquisition Proposal), (2) the Company shall during the period beginning at 5:00 p.m. Hong Kong Time on the day of delivery by the Company to Parent of such Change or Termination Notice (or, if delivered after 5:00 p.m. Hong Kong Time or any day other than a Business Day, beginning at 5:00 p.m. Hong Kong Time on the next Business Day) and ending two (2) Business Days later at 5:00 p.m. Hong Kong Time (the “Notice Period”) negotiate with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) any proposed modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Superior Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal or so that the failure to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change would no longer be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under Applicable Law; provided that, with respect to an Adverse Recommendation Change made in connection with an Acquisition Proposal or a termination of this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, in the event of any material revisions to the Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall deliver a new written notice to Parent and comply again with the requirements of this Section 6.03(c)(ii) with respect to such new written notice, and (3) following the end of such Notice Period(s), the Board of Directors of the Company determines, in its good faith judgment upon the recommendation of the Special Committee (after consultation with its financial advisor and legal counsel), after considering the terms of any proposed modification or amendment to this Agreement by Parent, that the Acquisition Proposal giving rise to the Change or Termination Notice continues to constitute a Superior Proposal.

43

(iii)                               None of the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company or any of its committees shall enter into any binding agreement or Contract with any Person to limit or not to give prior notice to Parent of its intention to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change in light of a Superior Proposal in accordance with Section 6.03(c)(ii).

(d)                       Definition of Superior Proposal.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” means a bona fide, unsolicited Acquisition Proposal (each reference to “20%” in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” shall be replaced with “50%”) on terms that the Board of Directors of the Company determines (upon recommendation of the Special Committee) in good faith by a majority vote, after considering the advice of outside financial advisor and legal counsel, (1) would be reasonably likely to be consummated in accordance with its terms, taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory, timing and other aspects of the proposal (including certainty of closing) and the Person making the proposal and (2) if consummated, would result in a transaction more favorable to the shareholders of the Company from a financial point of view than the Merger after giving effect to all adjustments, if any, to the terms thereof which may be offered by Parent in writing (including pursuant to Section 6.03(c)(ii)); provided that any such offer shall not be deemed to be a “Superior Proposal” if the consummation of the transaction contemplated by such offer is conditional upon (x) the completion of any due diligence review or investigation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by, and to the satisfaction of, the Person making the offer (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include the inclusion of a customary “access to information” covenant such as Section 6.04 in any documentation for such transaction) or (y) the obtaining and/or funding of any financing required to consummate the transaction contemplated by such offer.

(e)                        Obligation to Terminate Existing Discussions.  The Company shall, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives to, cease immediately and cause to be terminated any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations, if any, with any Third Party and its Representatives conducted prior to the date hereof with respect to any Acquisition Proposal.

Section 6.04.  Access to Information.  From the date hereof until the Effective Time, subject to Applicable Law, the Confidentiality Agreement and any contract or agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is subject (provided, that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly obtain any consent required under such contract or agreement in order that it may comply with the terms of this Section 6.04), the Company shall (i) give to Parent, its counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other authorized representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon prior reasonable notice, to the offices, properties, books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (ii) furnish to Parent, its counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other authorized representatives such financial and operating data and other information as such Persons may reasonably request and (iii) instruct its

44

employees, counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other authorized representatives to cooperate with Parent in its investigation of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to provide access to or disclose any information if such access or disclosure would jeopardize any attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.  Any investigation pursuant to this Section 6.04 shall be conducted in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

Section 6.05.  VIE Documents.  Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall (A) cause each of Mr. Linguang Wu and Mr. Yang Si to pledge their respective equity interests held in Beijing Huaqianshu Information Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing Shiji Xique Information Technology Co., Ltd. and Beijing Aizhenxin Information Technology Co., Ltd., as the case may be, to Beijing Miyuan Information Technology Co., Ltd., and (B) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain (i) each document, substantially in the form contained in Section 6.05(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, duly executed by the nominee shareholders of each of the VIE Entities, and (ii) resignation letters, substantially in the form contained in Section 6.05(ii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, duly executed by certain directors of the Company’s Subsidiaries, whose names are set forth on Section 6.05(iii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the documents described in clauses (i) and (ii) above, the “VIE Transfer Documents”).  On the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent all of the VIE Transfer Documents which it has obtained pursuant to this Section 6.05 and original versions of the documents related to the VIE Entities listed in Section 6.05(iv) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

Section 6.06.  Return of Parent Deposit.  (a) As soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, and in any event no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Company, an amount in cash in U.S. dollars equal to the amount of U.S. dollars into which the Parent Deposit would be converted using the mid-point exchange rate for buying and selling announced by the PBOC Head Office as of the date on which the Substituted Parent Deposit is deposited with the Company (the “Substituted Parent Deposit”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company bank account designated by the Company.  Within one Business Day after receiving the Substituted Parent Deposit, the Company shall pay to Parent an amount in cash in RMB equal to the Parent Deposit, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated by Parent.  At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall deposit the Substituted Parent Deposit with the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.03(a).

(b)                       Upon the termination of this Agreement, other than any termination under circumstances where the Company is entitled to retain the Parent Deposit or the Substituted Parent Deposit pursuant to Section 11.04(e), the Company shall return the Parent Deposit or the Substituted Parent Deposit to the bank account

45

designated by Parent in immediately available funds within one Business Day after the occurrence of such event.

(c)                        The Parent Deposit or the Substituted Parent Deposit received by the Company shall be kept in a bank account with no restriction on withdrawal, and shall not be used by the Company in the conduct of its business or investment nor be mingled with the funds of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(b)                       For six years after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be maintained in effect provisions in the Surviving Company’s memorandum and articles of association (or in such documents of any successor to the business of the Surviving Company) regarding elimination of liability of directors,

(d)                       If Parent, the Surviving Company or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or Surviving Company or entity of such consolidation or merger, or

47

(c)        Other Costs and Expenses.  Each of the Company and Parent acknowledges that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 11.04 are an integral part of the Transactions, (ii) the damages resulting from termination of this Agreement under circumstances where a Termination Fee is payable are uncertain and incapable of accurate calculation and therefore, the amounts payable pursuant to this Section 11.04 are not a penalty but rather constitute liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent or the Company, as the case may be, for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Transactions, and (iii) without these agreements, the parties hereto party would not enter into this Agreement.  Accordingly, if either the Company or Parent fails promptly to pay any amount due to the other pursuant to this Section 11.04, it shall also pay any costs and expenses incurred by the other in connection with a legal action to enforce this Agreement that results in a judgment against such defaulting party for such amount.

59

(d)        Parent and Merger Subsidiary agree that, upon any termination of this Agreement under circumstances where the Termination Fee is payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 11.04 and such Termination Fee is paid in full, the Buyer Group Parties shall be precluded from any other remedy against the Company, at law or in equity or otherwise, and no Buyer Group Party shall seek to obtain any recovery, judgment, or damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect, or punitive damages, against the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, shareholders or Affiliates or their respective Representatives in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions.

(e)        Upon any termination of this Agreement (i) by the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(ii) or Section 10.01(d)(iii) or (ii) by Parent or the Company pursuant to (A) Section 10.01(b)(iv) or (B) Section 10.01(b)(i) or Section 10.01(b)(ii) if, in the case of this sub-clause (B), any Applicable Law in the PRC shall have prohibited, made illegal or enjoined the consummation of the Merger or any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority in the PRC required in respect of the consummation of the Merger shall not have been completed, unless such Applicable Law or required action or filing resulted from a change in law or regulation in the PRC occurring after the date of this Agreement (which shall not include any action by any Governmental Authority in the PRC pursuant to any law or regulation in existence on or prior to the date of this Agreement), the Company shall retain the Parent Deposit or the Substituted Parent Deposit (as the case may be) and the Company shall be precluded from any other remedy against any Buyer Group Party, at law or in equity or otherwise, and the Company shall not seek to obtain any recovery, judgment, or damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect, or punitive damages, against any Buyer Group Party or any of its directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, shareholders or Affiliates or their respective Representatives in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions.

Section 11.05.  Disclosure Schedule and SEC Document References.  The mere inclusion of an item in either the Company Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

Section 11.06.  Binding Effect; Benefit; Assignment.  (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and, except as provided in Section 7.04, shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.  Except as provided in Section 7.04, no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
