ANNOUNCEMENT PURSUANT TO RULE 3.8 OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE
This announcement is made by SinoMedia Holding Limited (the “ Company ”) pursuant to Rule 3.8 of The Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the “ Takeovers Code ”).
Reference is made to the (i) announcement of the Company dated 11 June 2015 and (ii) announcement of the Company dated 15 June 2015 in relation to the update of the number of relevant securities of the Company (collectively, the “ Announcements ”). Unless otherwise stated, terms used herein shall have the same meanings as defined in the Announcements.

Save for the aforesaid, the Company has no other relevant securities (as defined in Note 4 to Rule 22 of the Takeovers Code) as at the date of this announcement.
In accordance with Rule 3.8 of the Takeovers Code, reproduced below is the full text of Note 11 to Rule 22 of the Takeovers Code:
“ Responsibilities of stockbrokers, banks and other intermediaries
Stockbrokers, banks and others who deal in relevant securities on behalf of clients have a general duty to ensure, so far as they are able, that those clients are aware of the disclosure obligations attaching to associates and other persons under Rule 22 of the Takeovers Code and that those clients are willing to comply with them. Principal traders and dealers who deal directly with investors should, in appropriate cases, likewise draw attention to the relevant rules of the Takeovers Code. However, this does not apply when the total value of dealings (excluding stamp duty and commission) in any relevant security undertaken for a client during any 7 day period is less than HK$1 million.

This dispensation does not alter the obligation of principals, associates and other persons themselves to initiate disclosure of their own dealings, whatever total value is involved.
Intermediaries are expected to co-operate with the Executive in its dealings enquiries. Therefore, those who deal in relevant securities should appreciate that stockbrokers and other intermediaries will supply the Executive with relevant information as to those dealings, including identities of clients, as part of that co-operation.”
