Perfect World Announces Purchase of New Office Premises in Beijing

Beijing China (March 19, 2008) - Perfect World Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ: PWRD) (“Perfect World” or the “Company”), a leading online game developer and operator in China, today announced it recently entered into an agreement for the purchase of the premises with an area of approximately 55,000 square meters in Chaoyang District, Beijing. The aggregate purchase consideration is approximately RMB700 million, 55% of which is required to be paid in the first quarter of 2008, while most of the remaining consideration is expected to be paid in the second quarter of 2008. The premises will be used as the Company’s new principal office to meet the demand arising from the Company’s recent business expansion and headcount increase. Perfect World will acquire the premises after completing relevant real estate registration procedures.

“I am pleased with the recent growth of our business and our future prospects resulting from the effective execution of our growth strategies,” commented Mr. Michael Chi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Perfect World. “Growth comes with necessary increases in staff and office space and we expect this to continue for the foreseeable future. The centralized new office space is expected to enhance our ability to execute our core strategies with a focus on highly efficient and timely developments. After careful evaluation of our future needs, we believe that our best course of action is to secure office premises and enter into this particular transaction. I am confident that we are still able to maintain a healthy balance sheet and strong and consistent operations.”
