(1)                                 Acquisition of The World Browser business

 

On September 30, 2009, the Group acquired the internet business of The World Browser from Beijing Shengjing Wanwei Technology Co., Ltd. (“Wanwei”). The acquisition provided synergies with the existing business.

 

The consideration of the acquisition included cash of $2,194 paid to a designated company owner by the shareholders of Wanwei and 2,125,176 ordinary shares, which was valued at $1.498 per share by the management with the assistance of an independent valuation firm, to Wanwei’s 45% owner, Global Village, who is one of the Company’s shareholders. In addition, the Company issued 1,290,353 nonvested shares to Wanwei’s 55% owner and other key employees. Since the issued nonvested shares are linked to continuing employment and the Company has repurchase rights for the nonvested shares if the key employee ceases his employment with the Group at any time before the third anniversary of the employment commencement date at minimal consideration, the nonvested shares are accounted for as compensation expenses.
