To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME AND

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION AND

NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide holders of the ordinary share(s) of HK$0.2 each (the ‘‘Shareholder(s)’’) of Media China Corporation Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) with information concerning the resolutions to be proposed at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company to be held and convened on 30 November 2012 (the ‘‘EGM’’), for approving the proposed change of name of the Company, and the proposed amendments to the existing memorandum of association and articles of association of the Company (the ‘‘Memorandum and Articles of Association’’).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Company proposes to change the English name of the Company from ‘‘Media China Corporation Limited’’ to ‘‘China Jiuhao Group Limited’’ and to adopt the dual foreign name ‘‘中國9號集 團有限公司’’ as its Chinese name in replacement of ‘‘華億傳媒有限公司’’ to reflect the principal activities of the Company and its subsidiaries (the ‘‘Group’’).

On 28 July 2011, the Group has completed the acquisition of the operation of ‘‘Bayhood No. 9 Club’’, a membership-based luxury club comprising a 18-hole golf course, a PGA-branded golf academy, practice bays and VIP rooms, theme dining rooms, spa facilities and retail facilities with a prime location close to the city hub of Beijing, the PRC. During the first half of 2012, ‘‘Bayhood No. 9 Club’’ operation has generated approximately 75% of the Group’s sales revenue during the period, surpassing the sales revenue from the media segment.

The Group has also completed the acquisition of the development and operating rights of a 580acre land plot adjacent to ‘‘Bayhood No. 9 Club’’ on 22 October 2012. The Group plans to develop the land as an extension of ‘‘Bayhood No. 9 Club’’, comprising low-density deluxe hotel villas and conferencing facilities for short to medium lease term purpose.

Taking into account of the above, the board of directors of the Company (the ‘‘Board’’) considers that the proposed change of name of the Company will recast the Company with a new corporate image in line with the Company’s shift in business focus from media business to the provision of green, recreational, healthy and health preserving services under the brand name of ‘‘Jiuhao’’.

The proposed change of name of the Company is subject to (i) the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM; and (ii) the approval of the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands.

The proposed change of name of the Company will not affect any rights of the Shareholders. After the change of name, all existing share certificates will continue to be evidence of title and will be valid for trading, settlement and delivery for the same number of ordinary share(s) of HK$0.20 each in the share capital of the Company (the ‘‘Shares’’) in the new name of the Company on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ‘‘Stock Exchange’’). There will not be any arrangement for the exchange of the existing share certificates of the Company for new share certificates bearing the new name of the Company.

Further announcement will be made by the Company to inform the Shareholders of the results of the EGM, the effective dates of the change of name of the Company and the new stock short name of the Company under which Shares will be traded on the Stock Exchange in due course.

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

The directors of the Company (the ‘‘Directors’’) propose to make certain amendments to the Memorandum and Articles of Association as detailed hereinbelow in order to reflect the change of name of the Company and seek the approval of the Shareholders by way of a special resolution for the proposed amendments to the Memorandum and Articles of Association at the EGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company’s legal advisers have confirmed that the proposed amendments to the Memorandum and Articles of Association are in compliance with the requirements of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange (the ‘‘Listing Rules’’) and the Cayman Islands laws. The Company also confirmed that there is nothing unusual about the proposed amendments to the Memorandum and Articles of Association for companies listed in Hong Kong.

In accordance with the requirement of Article 168 of the existing articles of association of the Company (the ‘‘Articles of Association’’), the proposed amendments to the Memorandum and Articles of Association set out in the notice of the EGM will be subject to the approval by the Shareholders in form of a special resolution.

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE MEMORANDUM OF ASSOCIATION

The existing memorandum of association of the Company (the ‘‘Memorandum of Association’’) shall be amended by deleting the name ‘‘Media China Corporation Limited 華億傳媒有限公司’’ in the heading on page 1 of the Memorandum of Association and in clause 1 of the Memorandum of Association and substituting therefor ‘‘China Jiuhao Group Limited 中國9號集團有限公司’’.

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

The Articles of Association shall be amended by deleting the name ‘‘Media China Corporation Limited 華億傳媒有限公司’’ on the cover page of the Articles of Association and in the definition of ‘‘Company’’ in Article 2(1) of the Articles of Association and substituting therefor ‘‘China Jiuhao Group Limited 中國9號集團有限公司’’.

EGM

The notice of EGM to be held at Qi Room, 8/F., Wheelock House, 20 Pedder Street, Central, Hong Kong on Friday, 30 November 2012 at 10:00 a.m. is set out on pages 5 and 6 of this circular.

The EGM is convened to be held on 30 November 2012 for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, approving the special resolution to change the name of the Company and approving the special resolution in respect of the proposed amendments to the Memorandum and Articles of Association. To the best of the Director’s knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on any of the proposed resolutions at the EGM. There is a form of proxy for use at the EGM accompanying this circular. Whether or not you are able to attend the EGM, you are requested to complete the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the Company’s share registrar, Tricor Tengis Limited at 26th Floor, Tesbury Centre, 28 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong as soon as possible but in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding of the EGM or any adjourned meeting. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the EGM (or any adjourned meeting thereof) should you wish to do so and in such event, the proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.

The resolutions proposed to be approved at the EGM will be taken by poll and an announcement will be made by the Company following the conclusion of the EGM to inform you of its results.
