Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On December 10, 2008, at a special meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders of Middle Kingdom Alliance Corp. approved three amendments to the registrant’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the effect of which is to (i) eliminate the provision of its certificate of incorporation that purported to prohibit amending its “business combination” provisions; (ii) extend the date before which the registrant must complete a business combination from December 13, 2008 to August 31, 2009 to avoid being required to liquidate, and, in connection therewith, authorize Middle Kingdom to amend the trust agreement established in connection with Middle Kingdom’s initial public offering to extend the date by which the trust account must be liquidated from December 13, 2008 to August 31, 2009; and (iii) allow holders of less than 20% of the registrant’s Class B shares who voted against the three amendments considered at the meeting and elected conversion to convert their Class B Shares into a portion of the funds available in the trust account. The three amendments were approved by a vote of 80.19%, 80.75% and 80.19%, respectively, of the shares of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, voting as a group at the special meeting.

On December 10, 2008, after approval thereof at its special meeting of stockholders of the foregoing amendments to the registrant’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the registrant filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.
