On September 12, 2008, Bonson Information Technology Ltd. (“Bonson”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of AsiaInfo Holdings, Inc. (“AsiaInfo” or the “Company”) entered into a Series B Preferred Shares Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with C-Platform Corporation (“C-Platform”) and its founders and principal operating subsidiaries. C-Platform is a Cayman Islands company, which, through its subsidiaries in China, provides data operating services, a form of value-added telecommunications services, to telecommunications operators in China. AsiaInfo believes that the transaction furthers its on-going strategy of expanding its market-leading telecommunications software and service solutions business in China.

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Bonson acquired 2,170,000 redeemable Series B Preferred Shares of C-Platform at a price of US$2.1404 per share, for an aggregate consideration of US$4,644,668. Following the transaction, Bonson owns approximately 17% of C-Platform’s share capital on a fully-diluted basis.

Under the other agreements entered into in connection with Bonson’s investment in C-Platform, Bonson has the right to appoint a representative to C-Platform’s board of directors. In addition, Bonson has certain registration rights, rights of first offer, and a right of first refusal with respect to common shares currently held by C-Platform’s founders.
