The special general meeting will be held at our principal executive offices at 11/F, China Railway Construction Plaza, No. 20 Shijingshan Road, Shijingshan District, Beijing, 100131, The People’s Republic of China.

Purpose of the Special General Meeting
At the special general meeting, the holders of ordinary shares of Hurray! Holding Co., Ltd. (“ Hurray! ” or “ we ”) (including those represented by American Depositary Shares of Hurray!, each representing 100 ordinary shares (“ ADSs ”)) are being asked to approve a proposal (the “ Proposal ”), for purposes of NASD Marketplace Rule 5635(a)(1), to effect an issuance of 723,684,204 ordinary shares of Hurray! in connection with the acquisition of Ku6 Holding Limited (“ Ku6 ”) pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement by and among Hurray!, Ku6 and the shareholders of Ku6 dated as of December 14, 2009 (the “ Share Purchase Agreement ”).
Revocability of Proxies
Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before its use by delivering a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or, if you hold ordinary shares, by attending the special general meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the special general meeting in and of itself does not revoke a prior proxy. A written notice of revocation must be delivered to the attention of Tianqiao Chen, our Chairman of the Board of Directors, if you hold our ordinary shares, or to Citibank, N.A., if you hold ADSs.
Record Date, Share Ownership and Quorum
Shareholders of record at the close of business on December 2, 2009 are entitled to vote at the special general meeting. Our ordinary shares underlying ADSs are included for purposes of this determination. As of November 30, 2009, 2,199,852,640 of our ordinary shares, par value US$0.00005 per share, were issued and outstanding, of which approximately 10,021,075 were represented by ADSs. The presence in person or by proxy of shareholders holding at least one-third of the issued ordinary shares entitled to vote at the meeting will constitute a quorum.

 

 


 

Voting and Solicitation
Each share outstanding on the record date is entitled to one vote. Voting by holders of ordinary shares at the special general meeting will be by a show of hands unless the chairman of the meeting or any shareholder present in person or by proxy demands that a poll be taken. Holders of ADSs cannot vote at such meeting. See “Voting by Holders of American Depositary Shares” below.
The costs of soliciting proxies will be borne by Hurray!. Proxies may be solicited by certain of our directors, officers and regular employees, without additional compensation, in person or by telephone or electronic mail. The solicitation materials are available on our website at http://www.hurray.com under the heading “Investor Relations.” Hard copies of the solicitation materials are available upon request to shareholders free of charge.
Voting by Holders of Ordinary Shares
Holders of ordinary shares should vote by either attending the meeting in person or by mailing the Proxy Card to us as instructed therein. The Proxy Card should be mailed to us at Attention: Legal Counsel, 11/F, China Railway Construction Plaza, No. 20 Shijingshan Road, Shijingshan District, Beijing, 100131, The People’s Republic of China, as soon as possible to ensure receipt by us before December 30, 2009.
When proxies are properly dated, executed and returned by holders of ordinary shares, the shares they represent will be voted at the special general meeting in accordance with the instructions of such shareholders. If no specific instructions are given by such holders, the shares will be voted “FOR” the Proposal and in the proxy holder’s discretion as to other matters that may properly come before the special general meeting. Abstentions by holders of ordinary shares are included in the determination of the number of shares present and voting but are not counted as votes for or against a proposal. Broker non-votes will not be counted towards a quorum or for any purpose in determining whether any proposal is approved.
Voting by Holders of American Depositary Shares
Citibank, N.A., as depositary of the ADSs, has advised us that it intends to mail to all owners of record of ADSs the Notice of Special General Meeting of Shareholders and an ADR Voting Instruction Card. Upon the written request of an owner of record of ADSs, Citibank, N.A. will endeavor, to the extent practicable, to vote or cause to be voted the amount of shares represented by such ADSs, evidenced by American Depositary Receipts related to such ADSs, in accordance with the instructions set forth in such request. Citibank, N.A. has advised us that it will not vote or attempt to exercise the right to vote other than in accordance with those instructions. As the holder of record for all of the shares represented by the ADSs, only Citibank, N.A. may vote those shares at the special general meeting.

Citibank, N.A. and its agents are not responsible if they fail to carry out your voting instructions or for the manner in which they carry out your voting instructions. This means that if the ordinary shares underlying your ADSs are not able to be voted at the special general meeting, there may be nothing you can do.
If (i) the ADR Voting Instruction Card is signed but is missing voting instructions, (ii) the ADR Voting Instruction Card is improperly completed or (iii) no ADR Voting Instruction Card is received by Citibank, N.A. from a holder of ADSs by December 30, 2009 at 10:00 a.m., New York City time , Citibank, N.A. will deem such holder of ADSs to have instructed it to give a proxy to the chairman of the special general meeting to vote in favor of each proposal recommended by our board of directors and against each proposal opposed by our board of directors.
Votes Required to Approve the Proposal
Approval of the Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast on the Proposal at the special general meeting if a quorum is present.
No Additional Matters May Be Presented at the Special General Meeting

Necessity of Shareholder Approval
Hurray! is subject to the Marketplace Rules promulgated by the NASDAQ Stock Market because its ADSs are traded on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “HRAY”.
Under Rule 5365(a)(1), shareholder approval must be sought in connection with a transaction (other than a public offering for cash) involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by the issuer of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) equal to 20% or more of the common stock or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance. For purposes of this rule, the outstanding common stock or voting power of the issuer is determined as of a date the issuer enters into a binding agreement with respect to such issuance or potential issuance, which in the case of the Acquisition is December 14, 2009.
The total number of Hurray!’s ordinary shares to be issued in connection with the Acquisition is 723,684,204, 32.9% of 2,199,852,640, the number of outstanding Hurray!’s ordinary shares as at December 14, 2009.
Hurray!’s Reasons for the Acquisition
Hurray!’s Board of Directors has concluded that the Acquisition is in the best interests of its shareholders. In approving the Share Purchase Agreement, Hurray!’s Board of Directors relied on information (including financial information) relating to Ku6, the regulatory environment and the industry fundamentals. Hurray!’s Board of Directors believes that the Acquisition brings to Hurray! a new media platform that complements Hurray!’s existing digital music and mobile distribution platform, and after the Acquisition Hurray! will be better-positioned to capture opportunities in the fast-growing internet and media market in China.
Regulatory Matters
The Acquisition is not subject to any material regulatory requirement or approval, other than that described in this proxy statement relating to NASD Marketplace Rules.

Required Vote
Approval of the Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast on the Proposal at the special general meeting if a quorum is present. We have been informed by Shanda Interactive Entertainment Limited, which beneficially owned approximately 56.1% of our outstanding ordinary shares (including ADSs) as of December 14, 2009, that it intends to vote or cause to be vote all of its ordinary shares (including ordinary shares represented by ADSs) in favor of the Proposal.
Recommendation
The Board of Directors believes that it is in Hurray!’s best interests that the shareholders authorize the issuance of 723,684,204 ordinary shares of Hurray! in connection with Acquisition pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement.
