Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

- 9 -

Item 4 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

On January 27, 2014, Shanda Interactive and Primavera Capital (Cayman) Fund I L.P. (“Primavera”, together with Shanda Interactive, the “Consortium” and each member in the Consortium, a “Consortium Member”) entered into a consortium agreement (the “Consortium Agreement”). Under the Consortium Agreement, the Consortium Members agreed, among other things, (i) to jointly deliver a preliminary non-binding proposal (the “Proposal”) to the Board to acquire the Company in a going private transaction (the “Transaction”), (ii) to deal exclusively with each other with respect to the Transaction until the earlier of (x) 9 months after the date thereof, and (y) termination of the Consortium Agreement by all Consortium Members, (iii) to use their reasonable efforts and cooperate in good faith to arrange debt financing to support the Transaction, and (iv) to cooperate and proceed in good faith to negotiate and consummate the Transaction.

On January 27, 2014, the Consortium Members submitted the Proposal to the Board. In the Proposal, the Consortium Members proposed to acquire the Company in a going private transaction at a price of US$6.90 in cash per ADS (each representing two Class A Ordinary Shares) or $3.45 in cash per Class A or Class B Ordinary Share. According to the Proposal, the Consortium Members do not intend to sell their stake in the Company to any third party. SDG may consider selling additional shares of the Company to the Consortium. The Consortium Members intend to finance the Transaction through a combination of debt and equity financing. For a brief description of the financing plan, please refer to Item 3 of the Original 13D.

On January 27, 2014, SDG and Primavera entered into a share purchase agreement (the “PV Share Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which SDG agreed to sell, and Primavera agreed to purchase, 28,959,276 Class A Ordinary Shares (the “PV Purchase Shares”) at US$2.7625 per Class A Ordinary Share (the “PV Purchase Price”) subject to the terms and conditions thereof. Pursuant to the PV Share Purchase Agreement, if (i) a going-private transaction occurs within one year of the closing date of the sale of PV Purchase Shares where Primavera is part of the buyer consortium and the price per share in the going-private transaction (“Going-private Price”) is higher than the PV Purchase Price, or (ii) a going-private transaction occurs within one year of the closing date of the sale of PV Purchase Shares where Primavera is not part of the buyer consortium due to its own decision or election without SDG’s written consent and the Going-private Price is higher than the PV Purchase Price, Primavera shall pay SDG the shortfall between the PV Purchase Price and the Going-private Price with respect to all PV Purchase Shares. Pursuant to the PV Share Purchase Agreement, if a going-private transaction is not consummated within one year of the closing date of the sale of PV Purchase Shares solely due to SDG’s failure to vote in favor of such going-private transaction, SDG shall pay to Primavera an amount equal to the PV Purchase Price. The purchase and sale of the PV Purchase Shares was completed on February 17, 2014.

On April 18, 2014, SDG and Perfect World Co., Ltd. (“Perfect World”) entered into a share purchase agreement (the “PW Share Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which SDG agreed to sell, and Perfect World agreed to purchase, 30,326,005 Class A Ordinary Shares (the “PW Purchase Shares”) at US$3.2975 per Class A Ordinary Share (the “PW Purchase Price”) subject to the terms and conditions thereof. Pursuant to the PW Share Purchase Agreement, if (i) a going-private transaction occurs within one year of the closing date of the sale of PW Purchase Shares where Perfect World is part of the buyer consortium and the Going-private Price is higher than the PW Purchase Price, or (ii) a going-private transaction occurs within one year of the closing date of the sale of PW Purchase Shares where Perfect World is not part of the buyer consortium due to its own decision or election without SDG’s written consent and the Going-private Price is higher than the PW

Purchase Price, Perfect World shall pay SDG the shortfall between the PW Purchase Price and the Going-private Price with respect to all PW Purchase Shares. Pursuant to the PW Share Purchase Agreement, if a going-private transaction is not consummated within one year of the closing date of the sale of PW Purchase Shares solely due to SDG’s failure to vote in favor of such going-private transaction, SDG shall pay to Perfect World an amount equal to the PW Purchase Price. The purchase and sale of the PW Purchase Shares was completed on May 16, 2014.

Concurrently with the execution of the PW Share Purchase Agreement, Shanda Interactive, Primavera and Perfect World entered into an adherence agreement (the “PW Adherence Agreement”), pursuant to which Perfect World became a party to the Consortium Agreement and joined the Consortium. References to “Consortium” or “Consortium Members” after April 18, 2014 shall include Perfect World.

On April 25, 2014, FV Investment Holdings (“FV Investment”), which is an affiliate of FountainVest Partners, Shanda Interactive, Primavera and Perfect World entered into an adherence agreement (the “FV Adherence Agreement”), pursuant to which FV Investment became a party to the Consortium Agreement and joined the Consortium. References to “Consortium” or “Consortium Members” after April 25, 2014 shall include FV Investment.

On May 19, 2014, CAP IV Engagement Limited (“Carlyle”), which is an affiliate of Carlyle Asia Partners IV, L.P., Shanda Interactive, Primavera, Perfect World and FV Investment entered into an adherence agreement (the “Carlyle Adherence Agreement”), pursuant to which Carlyle became a party to the Consortium Agreement and joined the Consortium. References to “Consortium” or “Consortium Members” after May 19, 2014 shall include Carlyle.

If the Transaction is completed, the ADSs would be delisted from the NASDAQ Global Select Market and the Company’s obligations to file periodic report under the Exchange Act would be terminated.

Description of the Proposal, the Consortium Agreement, the PV Share Purchase Agreement, the PW Share Purchase Agreement, the PW Adherence Agreement, the FV Adherence Agreement and the Carlyle Adherence Agreement in this Schedule 13D/A are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Proposal, the Consortium Agreement, the PV Share Purchase Agreement, the PW Share Purchase Agreement, the PW Adherence Agreement, the FV Adherence Agreement and the Carlyle Adherence Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 7.02, 7.03, 7.04, 7.05, 7.06, 7.07 and 7.08 hereto and incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

In addition, consummation of the Transaction could result in one or more of the actions specified in clauses (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D/A, including the acquisition or disposition of securities of the Company, a merger or other extraordinary transaction involving the Company, a change to the Board (as the board of the surviving company in the merger) to consist solely of persons to be designated by the Consortium Members, and a change in the Company’s memorandum and articles of association to reflect that the Company would become a privately held company. No assurance can be given that any proposal, any definitive agreement or any transaction relating to the Transaction will be entered into or be consummated. The Proposal provides that no binding obligation shall arise with respect to the Transaction unless and until definitive agreements have been executed.
