Xinhua Finance Media Announces Management Changes, Strengthened Executive Team and Streamlined Structure

Beijing, May 15, 2007 — Xinhua Finance Media Limited (“XFMedia”) (NASDAQ:XFML), today announced the promotion of several executives in connection with the creation of a shared services group designed to consolidate and simplify certain operational and reporting structures between XFMedia and its parent company, Xinhua Finance Limited (TSE: 9399) (OTC ADRs: XHFNY) “XFL”.

The shared services group is made up of executives from both XFL and XFMedia, and centralizes support for strategy, investor relations, corporate communications, legal services and branding for XFL and XFMedia. This group reports to Fredy Bush, who is CEO of both companies.

XFL, founded in 1999, is a financial information company focusing on China which serves financial institutions, corporations and re-distributors through five focused and complementary service lines: Indices, Ratings, Financial News, Investor Relations, and Distribution. XFMedia is a China based financial and entertainment media company. Through its five synergistic business groups, Advertising, Broadcast, Print, Production and Research, XFMedia offers a total solution empowering clients at every stage of the media process.

The two Xinhua Finance businesses operate with highly complementary objectives: XFL continually improves the quality and scope of its financial content, while XFMedia focuses on distributing that content to a target audience of high net worth individuals in China via television, radio, newspapers, magazines and other distribution channels.

Fredy Bush, Chief Executive commented, “We are keenly aware of the need for our corporate structure and executive team to stay one step ahead of the rapid development of our businesses. Our sharp focus and clear strategy allows us to think and plan ahead. The Xinhua Finance companies now have more than 10,000 investors globally, in excess of $1.5 billion in market capital and have completed $400 million in M&A transactions. The shared services group is important to the group’s efficient expansion going forward and represents our commitment to sustainable growth.”

John McLean, who has served as XFL General Counsel since 2004, will continue to head up the legal department for the group as part of the shared services team.

Given his in-depth knowledge of both XFL and XFMedia, Shelly Singhal has been appointed Executive Director, Corporate Development, and will serve as a part of the shared services group with responsibility for capital markets activities, transactions, and mergers and acquisitions.

Andrew Chang has been appointed Chief Financial Officer of XFMedia. Andrew joined the finance department of XFL in 2003. He played a key role working closely with Shelly Singhal in the development of the XFMedia business as Managing Director of Finance. Zhu Shan remains in his position as Chief Operating Officer of XFMedia.

David Wang assumes the role of Chief Financial Officer of XFL after serving as Managing Director, Corporate Finance since joining XFL in 2006. He replaces Gordon Lau, who is leaving XFL to pursue other interests. David will assume the role on July 1^st and is working closely with Gordon to facilitate a smooth transition. During his tenure with XFL, David worked with Gordon on several financing transactions, including XFL’s $100 million high yield bond financing. Dan Connell continues in his role as XFL Chief Operating Officer.

Fredy Bush added, “These changes in responsibility will better leverage our executive skill set and help build a management infrastructure strong enough to support our ambitious growth plans. Personally, I am very excited to be able to sharpen my focus on what I do best: strategic and tactical planning, leadership and China market development. John, Shelly, David, Dan, Andrew, and Zhu Shan have made valuable contributions to our success and these enhancements to our corporate structure will increase their opportunities to do so in the future. I extend my sincere appreciation to Gordon Lau for his invaluable contribution to the successful development of Xinhua Finance, and wish him the best in his future endeavors.”
