the Peoples Republic of China and the sole shareholder of SML. Shanda,
Skyline, SCIL, SML and Mr. Chen are referred to collectively herein as

filing because they may be deemed to constitute a "group" within the
meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "Act"), although neither the fact of this filing or
anything contained herein shall be deemed to be an admission by SML or
Mr. Chen that they are members of a group.
Shanda is a holding company listed on the Nasdaq National Market under
the symbol "SNDA" whose operating subsidiaries are principally engaged
in the business of operating online games in China. Skyline, SCIL and
SML are principally engaged in the business of holding securities,
including, in the case of Skyline, shares of Shanda. Mr. Chen is
principally engaged as an executive officer of Shanda.
The principal business address of each of the Reporting Persons is No. 1

(d) and (e) None of the Reporting Persons nor any of the persons or
entities referred to in Appendix A has, during the last five years, been

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
The aggregate number of Shares held by the Reporting Persons is
9,821,765 for which an aggregate consideration of $230,430,727 has been
paid.
9,133,750 Shares are held by Shanda and were purchased for an aggregate
consideration of $211,363,612, the source of which consideration was
working capital and proceeds remaining from the issuance of $275,000,000
principal amount of convertible bonds on October 20, 2004 and from its
initial public offering of its American depositary shares on the Nasdaq
National Market in May of 2004.
481,875 Shares are held by Skyline and were purchased for an aggregate

Reporting Persons after it allocates appropriate funding. While Shanda
does not currently have agreements or arrangements for the purpose of
funding such purchase, it expects that it will transfer the necessary
funds from its operating subsidiaries by cash dividend in accordance
with the laws and regulations of the Peoples Republic of China.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
The Securities have been acquired for strategic investment purposes with
the intention of acquiring a substantial ownership position in the
Issuer's Shares. The Reporting Persons expect to evaluate the Issuer and
review their holdings in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending
upon various factors, including, but not limited to, Shanda's and the
Issuer's business, prospects and financial condition and other
developments concerning Shanda and the Issuer, market conditions and
other factors that the Reporting Persons may deem relevant to their
investment decision, each Reporting Person may take such actions in the
future as it deems appropriate in light of the circumstances and
conditions existing from time to time, including: increasing its stake
in the Issuer through open market purchases, private transactions, or
tender or exchange offers; seeking to acquire or influence control of
the Issuer, the means of which may include board representation; or
seeking a merger, consolidation or other business combinations.
Depending on these same factors, the Reporting Persons, or any of them,
may determine to sell all or a portion of the Securities that they now
own or hereafter may acquire on the open market or in private
transactions, although none of the Reporting Persons has a current
intention to do so.
In connection with their investment, the Reporting Persons, or any of
them, may engage in discussions with the Issuer to explore the
possibility of a business combination transaction. The Reporting Persons
expect that such discussions, if any, with the Issuer would be held with
the full cooperation of the Issuer. In the event that no such
discussions occur, or if they do occur but fail to result in a
negotiated transaction, the Reporting Persons currently intend to
maintain their investment in the Shares in accordance with the
investment purpose set forth above.
Except as set forth in this Item 4, none of the Reporting Persons
presently has plans or proposals to the best of its knowledge that
relate to or that would result in any of the actions specified in
clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D of the Act.
